External List Management Errors
Hi Experts,
Please suggest how i can check what is the error in my file upload. Any specific settings need to be doen to see this.
I am not finding any error, and my BP are also not getting created.
Regards
Arun kumar
Please check the Business partner is already updated or not ( check in the uploded file BP number in the table BUT000 )?
There is method called Duplicate check :- it will validate.
If you want to debug this i guess u have findout the workflow and keep the break point.

Shiva Kumar

Problem with External List Management; Business Partner Type
Hello experts;
I created a mapping format for importing a simple notepad file. In the ELM i see all my fields populated correctly. Once i start the importing process it goes smoothly with no mistakes at all (green lights). The bp is actually imported and i can see it in the BP transaction with most of the fields correctly imported BUT the business partner type (PERS_PERS_BPKIND in ELM). For this field i have a Constant Assignment which is always HH and because of that i don't have it in my notepad file but i pass the value directly from ELM constant assignement=HH. Unfortunately this value is not copied. Any idea? Am i doing something wrong or i'm loosing some steps in between?
Thank you very muchHello,
the issue is most probably related to missing authorizations. As you know the processing in external list management happens in the background using WF-BATCH user.
Please check the following notes:
708557 - 'ELM: Troubleshooting' point 1.

External List Management - BP does not exist.
Hi,
I would like to use the external list management feature of CRM 7.0 to create Business Partner.
Its crucial for later processing steps to assign the ID from the data source as well. I included the
Field ORG_NUMBER respectivly PER_NUMBER in the mapping. The creating process stops with an error telling me
Businesspartner No. XYZ does not exist.
I've done a bit of research and did not find a solution yet. I would like to know whether it is technically possible to use the ELM to create Businesspartners with predefined IDs.
Regards, ArneHello,
This is indeed standard behavior: ORG_NUMBER and PER_NUMBER are used to update existing business partners only. You cannot use those fields to create business partners with external number range assignment.
Kindly check the following online help for more information:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/EN/46/32c47e043314dde10000000a155369/content.htm
Hence to acheive your requirement, you will have to create a new implementation of badi CRM_MKTLIST_BADI.
Kind regards,

External List Management - Issue in File Upload and Map
I am facing problem while maintaining external lists through ELM and executing step upload and map file for a tab separated text format file.
The file data is getting shown properly in file preview through mapping format but when I execute it through external list the data is not getting uploaded at all.The log is not showing me any error or reason for the same.
I want to know apart from basic ELM config, is there some other configuartion required to enable ELM to upload and map the file in turn.
Message was edited by:
Pratyasha ShishodiaI got the resolution to this answer.
The issue was the task under ELM workflow was not marked for background processing and hence it was always in ready state and never proceeded ahead thru ELM transaction.All the steps due to this reason were shown in planned or ready state.
There was no error in ELM as everything in the system had no issues and hence nothing came in error log. -
Prefix in the External list management
Hello experts;
I enhanced the elm in order to include new fields requested by the client. I used the solution described in help.sap.com so as all the fields requested are now in the mapping format functionality. Particularly i added to the table CRMD_MKTLIST_PER_EXT the fields PERS_BPEXT PERS_BPKIND PERS_PREFIX1 ...If for the first two i don't have problem at all the prefix is giving me some troubles. In the mapping once selected i'm not able to see in the Value assignment the possible values that shoulb be picked from the table TSAD4. This is very strange because for the BPKIND i don't have any problems and i have the values fished from the TB004.!.!
The only guessing i have is that the 200 entries of the TSAD4 could cause some issues...(Holland as a lot of possible prefixs)... Is that a reasonable explanation or there is something else i can check???
Thank you very much.
Fabio RoccaHi Alexander,
The external list generally uses the internal standard grouping, in case u have not assigned the PER_NUMBER or ORG_NUMBER int the mapping definition.
Use tcode: SPRO
SAP Implementation Guide->Cross-Application Components->SAP Business Partner->Business Partner->Basic Settings->Number Ranges and Groupings->Define Groupings and Assign Number Ranges.
Here which ever number range and grouping are marked as Int Std grouping will be picked up.If u wish to change the same, you can even do so.
Wish it helps.

According to the SAP Best Practice Guide for Campaign Management the file Y_External_List.csv for uploading external addresses is on the Best Practices CD.
Can anyone tell me either where I can obtain a copy of this file from or better still where I can get the best practices documentation CD's from?
I have looked on help.sap.com/bestpractices as well as service.sap.com/bestpractices but can only seem to find R/3 relevant documentation.
Many Thanks

External List Management - marketing List upload giving a short dump
Hello All,
In CRM Marketing ELM, when we try to upload an external data list, the system throws a short dump where it is not able to read the RFC destination WORFLOW_LOCAL_100. We have set this RFC destination as an ABAP Driver RFC in SM59, but do not reach to any positive results.
Any clues to anyone out there?
Rgds
PriyankaThanks.
We could solve it at our end. A new RFC destination as WORKFLOW_LOCAL_100 is defined as a Logical Connection.

How to use the BADI CRM_MKTLIST_BADI in External List Management?
Hi Experts,
I am using ELM tool to upload new accounts from an excel file. I need to do some coding before the BPs get created into CRM. This coding is for mapping some fields & doing a few validation checks. We have a BADI CRM_MKTLIST_BADI for this. But when I try to stop that BADI by putting breakpoints, it doesnot stop. I have assigned the required filter for my implementation of the BADI too. But somehow the breakpoint doesnot work & the control never stops in the BADI implementation. Could the experts out there please help me out in this as this is really urgent...
Points will be rewarded generously for helpful answers...
Thanks & Regards,
Sangeeta.Hi Sangeeta,
Set the user parameter CRM_DEBUG_CODE to "MKLIST" for your user in SU3. Put a break-point in the BADI method.
This will call the debugger once the BADI is triggered.

LEADS NOT GETTING CREATED USING EXTERNAL LIST MANAGEMENT (ELM)
Hi Folks,
We are trying to create leads via ELM.
When ELM is executed records are getting uploaded,BP's are created.But leads are not getting created.
Pls find attachments for mapping format attached to ELM.
Assignment block Process steps is as shown below:
We tried n number of times to create leads but its not happening.
Pls suggest how to resolve the same.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Regards
JayaHi Kavindra,
Below mentioned is the screenshot of badi debugging.
Our technical consultant analysed the scenario and found out that Lead transaction data is not filling in standard and no data is coming into method create_business_transaction where Leads will be created based on the input data and says this has to fill in standard if all the mapping fields and data uploading is correct.
Pls suggest exactly where we are going wrong.
Pls let me know if u need any further info from my side.
Regards

This is a variation on the issue mentioned in this
post
We are using SP 2010 Content Hub to manage our content types. On the content hub we've created a couple of exteranl lists, and then created some site columns as lookups against these lists. We then added the columns to one of our content types
and set it to publish.
After the publishing job executed, I tried adding the content type (which now appears on the subscriber sites) to one of the document libraries on one of the subscriber sites. When I did that it threw the following error:
Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.BusinessDataListConfigurationException: Id field is not set on the external data field
at Microsoft.SharePoint.SPBusinessDataField.CreateIdField(SPAddFieldOptions op)

I checked the external content type configuration and it did specify an "id column". Anyone know if what I am attempting to do is possible and if so, what special configurations are required?
ThanksThe issue is not External Content type or external list but the look up column.
It's not possible to publish a look up column via the Content Type Hub.
If you need to do this then an alternate way is to use a Managed Metadata column instead, otherwise you will have to implement this via a feature.

Hi,
Please note we are using SQL Server 2008 for sharepoint. Does it matter for this issue?
Please help.
Thanks.Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you failed to open external list.
Please change the External Content’s connection properties’ Authentication Mode to BDC identity.
Then launch the SharePoint 2013 Management Shell and run the PowerShell commands to remove the error.
