Expression logic for qualified tables

Hello Experts.
I am searching for an expression that can manage the following requirements:
Different records of a qualified table belong to one record of the main table. One value that belongs to a certain combination in the qualified table should be automatically transferred to a field in the main table. For example there is one main table (MAIN) and a qualified table (QT) with at least two fields.
Main table (MAIN) with some fields
Qualified table (QT) with Field 1 and Field 2
I tried following expression: IF(QT.Field 1 = NAME, QT.Field 2). But the expression doesn'tt work.
How can an expression work with a certain combination of a qualified table? Has anybody an idea how to solve such a mystery?
Thank you in advanced,
Anja

Hi Anita.
I have the answer: You need an additional field in qualified table. This field is filled during import with the concatenation of all field values of the QT record.
Qualified table with field 1 and field 2 look then like this
Field 1: Name
Field 2: Anita
Field Conca:Name.Anita
Now it is possible to build expression that can evaluate the string of the concatenation field.
Thanks for your help,
Anja

Case statement logic for External Tables

Hi All,
Is there anyway I can perform a CASE logic in External table creation script?
I have a column which is supposed to receive only Numbers. But if i inadvertently receive a String, i want to insert NULL for that instance.
My table has the following creation syntax: ( I have to make a check for the NumValue column - althought I am using VARCHAR2(50) I have the transformation stage where the NumValue column has a CASE logic ; my entire file is getting rejected just because a single row in the input dat file is coming as a String)
CREATE TABLE XYZ_TABLE
     LineNumber NUMBER(20),
     NumValue VARCHAR2(50 BYTE)
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
( TYPE ORACLE_LOADER
DEFAULT DIRECTORY "EXT_TAB_DIR"
ACCESS PARAMETERS
( RECORDS DELIMITED BY NEWLINE
BADFILE 'EXT_TAB_DIR_LOG':'FILE1.BAD'
LOGFILE 'EXT_TAB_DIR_LOG':'FILE1.LOG'
DISCARDFILE 'EXT_TAB_DIR_LOG':'FILE1.DSC'
FIELDS TERMINATED BY '#|#'
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '#$' and '$#'
MISSING FIELD VALUES ARE NULL(

     NUMVALUE

Thank you,

Unique key for Qualified tables

Hello Experts,
We are currently facing an issue with qualified tables. We need to retain existing system keys as below:
Item (Main table)
Item_Id, Item_Number
Item_Price (Qualified Table)
Item_Price_Id, Item_Id, Price_Type_Id, Price
E.g.
1, Pencil
2, Pen
3, Notepad
1, 1, Retail_Price, $10
2, 1, Wholesale_Price, $5
3, 2, Retail_Price, $15
4, 2, Wholesale_Price, $10
We need to migrate the existing ids (Item_Price_Id) in MDM qualified table and need to maintain the same as max(Item_Price_Id) + 1 for all future records.
Is there a way we can achieve this?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Vinay

Hi Karol,
The Interface Iprinciple has this function as it:
Gets the unique identifier which unambiguously identifies the object's principal type and principal's data record(s) in the data store (e.g. a relational database).
Note: the unique ID is a case sensitive string
Use this identifier to keep and persist references to principals. As this identifier contains internal information and is usually not readable, it should not be displayed in user interfaces.
UME implementation guarantees to return Strings which are not longer than 255 characters.
Returns:
a non-null String identifying this principal
I hope this helps you.

Hi Jose,
when you look at the delivered xsd-structures for the material master, you can see, taht Q-Lookup tables are already mirrored in these strcutres. so this could be used as a template.
You simply would define a complex type structure for the Q-lookup-table fields (I call it MFGDATA). This complex type would then be referred to in your main strucutre (I call it MFGInfo).
It would have the following for :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<od:schema xmlns:od="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<od:element name="Test">
<od:complexType>
<od:sequence>
<od:element name="Material_Number_R3"/>
<od:element name="ST_Code"/>
<od:element name="Family"/>
<od:element name="Line"/>
<od:element name="Category"/>
<od:element name="Ginco_R3_Code"/>
<od:element name="Material_Type"/>
<od:element name="Material_Group"/>
<od:element name="Division"/>
<xsd:element name="MFGInfo" type="MFGDATA" maxOccurs="unbounded" />
</od:sequence>
</od:complexType>
</od:element>
<xsd:complexType name="MFGDATA">
######here you define all the fields of the Q-lookup tabel #####

Need a logic for Internal table processing

Hi,
I have a requirement...an internal table contains three fields material no, bin no, and Quantity
Mat. No    |         Bin No        |              Quantity
a              |              x1         |                   10
a              |              x1         |                   10

In this I need to append the records to new internal table say itab1 where multiple entries exist for some material no like mat no 'a' and 'c' and
if the material no. exist only once in the table, it has to be moved to another new internal table say itab2.
Pls suggest some logic that does not have performance issues.
Thanks in advance
Saravana

Hi there,
a solution in brief...
data: wa_itab1_a like itab1,
         wa_itab2_b like itab1,
         lv_tabix       type sytabix.
sort itab1 by matnr.
loop at itab1.
wa_itab1_a = itab1.
at new matnr.
    lv_tabix = sy-tabix + 1.
    clear wa_itab2_b.
    READ TABLE itab1 into wa_itab2_b
                        INDEX lv_tabix.
    if wa_itab2_b-matnr ne wa_itab1_a-matnr.
      append wa_itab1_a to itab2.
      delete itab1 where matnr = wa_itab1_a-matnr.
    endif.
endat.
endloop.

Logic for internal table

Hi,

PO_1     001     7     11 Aug 2009
Now I want to sum up quantity based on ETA dates so that the structure will look like as below:
PO Number     PO Line Number     Quantity     ETA
PO_1     001     23     10 Aug 2009
PO_1     001     7     11 Aug 2009
PO_1     002     12     11 Aug 2009
PO_2     001     5     10 Aug 2009
Collect statement will not work as the checking is on date but not on po no and line item.
Regards,
Abhi...

Use SUM statement for adding the quantity fields.
Sample code :
LOOP AT T INTO WA_T.
WA_N = WA_T
    SUM.
WA_N-QUANTITY = WA_T-QUANTITY.
APPEND WA_N TO ITAB_N.
ENDLOOP.

Mass Update of date in Qualified table

I having problem in updating End availability date in Partner Specific Data (which is a qualified table). How can do a mass update of selected records. I have written an assignment expression which has no error but it is not doing the update.
Regards,
Marcel

Hi Marcel
Assignment and validation does not work well for qualified table. It will work for only first qualified linked record and not all.
for mass update you can use import manager map the date qualifier field and select replcae action for qualified update in the destination item.

Hi Gurus
I found the way to add the MDMValue in setFieldValue Method.
we can set like this:
setFieldValue(<fieldId object like fieldId[], <MdmValue like this> new StringValue("ABC"));
Now I am facing problem in adding value to lookup flat table.
According to the setFieldValue method we can assign the loookup like this:
setFieldValue(<fieldId[0]>, new LookpValue(<here we have to pass the recordID of lookup table>);
so I want to know how I can pass the recordId of lookup table here.
Please suggest.

Issue creating qualified tables in MDM 5.5 SP04 Console

Try the following:
1) Make sure you are using SP04 Patch 1 (Build 5.5.33.13)
2) Unarchieve one of the supplied business content repositories (Eg. Customer, Material, etc).
3) Create a flat lookup table
4) Create a qualified table with only one field: Field type lookup flat referencing the flat lookup table created in step 3, non-qualifier, display field.
5) Create a new field in main table, type qualified multi-value, referencing the qualified table created in step 4.
6) Load the repository
7) Login to repository with data manager
8) Create 1 entry in lookup table created in step 3
9) Create 1 entry in main table, also creating 1 sub-entry in qualified table, save the record with SHIFT-ENTER
10) Make sure the record was saved, including qualified table entry
11) Close data manager
12) Open data manager again
13) Select your record and try to go in to the qualified sub-entry
In my case this produces data manager to crash.
This does not happen for qualified tables created in SP03 and updated to SP04, only for tables created directly in the SP04 console.
Please let me know if everybody is having the same problem.

Hi, Jorge,
I have MDM5.5 SP4 P1 HF1 and followed your steps (except in step 4 (THANK YOU for numbering them), I have more than one field.) At step 13, I selected my record and to my amazement the record was there but my qualified table data was gone. And I then performed your step 14, and opened the qualified lookup table, and again to my amazement the console crashed.
This definitely appears to be a bug and you should report it. I will also see if I can ask around for other solutions.

Qualified Tables - Loop with Expression

Hi Experts,
Is there any way to setup a validation to loop over qualified links and check if a specific field has a value (not being NULL)?
For example I have the following qualified links of qualified table Location Data for a Main Table Record (Material), with two fields Plant and Purchasing Group. Plant is Non-Qualifier and Purchasing Group is Qualifier and a lookup field into the table Purchasing Group.
Plant: 3100
Purchasing Group: NULL
Plant: 2100
Purchasing Group: 12
I want to set up a validation to loop over all qualified links and check wether Purchasing Group is set. If one of them is not set I want to display a warning on record save.
Anybody know if this is supported?
Thanks,
Ingo

Hi Ingo,
I am assuming the following requirement:
You want to throw a validation error when your qualifier(Purchasing Group) is NULL.
If this the case then we can have a validation as described below for the qualified link.
Step1. In Data Manager select Main Table as Current table and go to Validations Tab.
Step2. Create a validation expression by Using Function IS_NOT_NULL() and then Go to Fields drop down and select the Qualified Table --> Qualifier (Purchasing Group).
Suppose if your Qualified table is "Test" and Qualifier is "Purchasing Group" then the expression will look like IS_NOT_NULL(Test.Purchasing Group).
The other properties like "Error Message", "Automatic Execution" will vary as per your requirement
Try this out and let me know.
Thanks and Regards,

Expression with qualified table fields

Hi all!
I have 2 doubts concerning the free-form search and expressions using qualified table.
We're implementing SRM-MDM Catalog. Here is the scenario
The search is done in the Main Table (Products). The qualified table (Contract) has the following fields:
Contract ID: Non-Qualifier
Contract Item: Non-Qualifier
Contract Category: Non-Qualifier
Lower Bound: Non-Qualifier
Amount: Qualifier
Currency: Qualifier
Obsolete: Qualifier
There are 2 records in the Contract table assigned to the Product in main table:
123-1-Normal-1-100-BRL-False
456-1-Normal-1-250-BRL-True
1st doubt:
Using the free-form search, if I set the field Contract-Amount to be less than 150, only the record 123-1-Normal-1-100-BRL is listed in the result, which is ok. But if I enter in the expression option the formula Contract.AMOUNT<150, both records are listed:
123-1-Normal-1-100-BRL
456-1-Normal-1-250-BRL ???
Is this formula wrong?
2nd doubt:
The Contract info isn't a mandatory information. It's ok to have a product in the main table without a contract assigned to it. This can happen for example if all contracts for a product are obsolete. In the named search, if I select all products where obsolete equals to 'FALSE', only the records of the main table that have at least one valid contract are listed. As the contract info isn't mandatory, I was expecting a different behavior. Also the records that don't have a valid contract should be listed, but the contract information should be blank. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks!

Need Logic for Inserting data into table from another table

Hi,
Could you please give me some logic on below:
TABLE_A has columns A,B,C,D
What i did
==========
Created new table
TABLE_1_A with columns A1,A2,B1,B2,B3
Requirement
===========
I should populate columns A1,A2 (table TABLE_1_A) with the data from column A (table TABLE_A)
& simillarly populate columns B1,B2 with the data from B.
the data is huge in the table_a.
Database: 10g
Thanks.

Hi,
Here's one way:
INSERT INTO table_1_a
        (a1, a2, b1, b2)
SELECT      a, a, b, b
FROM      table_a
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
If you're asking about a DML statement, such as INSERT, the sample data will be the contents of the table before the DML, and the results will be state of the changed table(s) when everything is finished.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
See the forum FAQ {message:id=9360002}

Incorrectly defined logical table source (for fact table X

Hi!
Imagine the following Physical Diagram:
- Dim A
- Dim B
- Fact A
- Fact B
Joins:
- Dim A is parent of Dim B
- Fact B has a FK to Dim B
- Fact A has a FK to Dim A
Business Layer:
- Logical Table Dim A
- Logical Table Dim B
- Logical Table Fact A
- Logical Table Fact B
Joins:
- same joins (not FK Joins) that Physical Layer
When we build a report that only has one column of Dim A and one column of Dim B (A is parent of B), the following error appears:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 15018] Incorrectly defined logical table source (for fact table "Fact A") does not contain mapping for [Dim A.col1, Dim B.col1]. (HY000)
What is wrong?
Help!
Thanks.

Hi,
The joins of dimensions go via a fact table. In your case there is no common fact table.
You can solve this by drag/drop a field from the physical table Dim B on the displayed logical table source of the logical table Dim A.
Now the BI Server knows that Dim A and B have a physical relationship.
