How to map Boolean Types in Import Manager

Hi,
I have a issue in Import Manager for mapping Boolean Types.
I have a field which has a single KEY and multilple values(for different languages).
I want to map it to a field in a Tuple.
I can map the Key to field name.
But the values, I am not able to map. Could you help me here please.
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Rashmi

Hi Anton
Format your GM Time source as YYYY:MM:DD:HH:NN:SS:TTT (e.g. 2010:02:19:14:34:28:000). Deviations from this format seem to confuse the IM.

How to map DEPB discount in import pricing

Dear All,
One of my client requires DEPB discount to be mapped in SAP.
In this DEPB discount (value) will get reduce from the customs duty and same will be reduced from the material account.
eg.
Description                 - value   - vendor          - material cost (loaded on material - 117)
material value              - 100    ( Vendor - X)   - 100
basic custom duty       - 20     (Vendor - Y)   -   20
CVD/Cess/Shcess      -    5     (Vendor - Y)
cess on custom duty   -    2     (Vendor - Y)   -    2
DEPB discount           -   -5     (Vendor - Y)   -   -5
How we can accomodate DEPB discount in pricing procedure. Rest procedure is working fine.
I want to create new condition type and assigned in pricing procedure to have above effect.
Please suggest if anybody has came accross the above requirement.
Regards,
Umesh

better create as cdn type in import pricing schema with from to step, so that it will deduct the % as required.
I think ur suggestion will suit the purpose

I have extracted Customer data from R/3 ECC, I could successfully loaded reference data, but when trying to load Main table data (Using DEBMDM06 MAP) I am getting mapping issues with Qualified table (Sales Data and Bank Details).

Field Type in Import Manager

Dear all,
I am importing Vendors in MDM SP4 that I extracted from BI. In Import manager my Vendor and GN_Vendor fields appears with numeric type but I created them in the Console with text type. I also cheched the xls input file but they are in text format. Can you please tell me where to change the field type from numeric to text.
Because I can only import Vendors who have numeric name.
In advance thank you for your kind help,
Aklilu

Hi Aklilu,
As Far as I understand,
the problem is with your source and not the destination.
The source field type from BI, is numerical and this has to be changed to text in the source
The destination field is a text field and hence no need to change the field type in MDM.
Hope this helps you solve the problem.
Let me know the result.
Thanks and Regards,

How to map logical type to varchar(max)?

Hello fellow modelers and developers,
I created a logical model of a database in SDDM and trying to create a relational model for Oracle, DB2 and MSS. The one for Oracle seams fine, but the MSS one is kinda tricky as it seams impossible to map my logical data type "CLOB" to a varchar(max). Of course I could map to TEXT, but according to the SQLServer documentation, I should not use it, but varchar(max) instead.
If I import a DDL file which contains a varchar(max), SDDM creates a DOMAIN with "varchar" as logical type and "max" as size, but the DDL export will contain no size. If there is a way to add this one single tiny data type in my exported DDL without having to do a search replace afterwards I would really like to know.
greetings from Vienna.
edit:
BTW, I am using version 3.0.04.34 on Windows 7 64-bit
Edited by: 896729 on Nov 11, 2011 10:14 AM

Hello atschabu,
thanks for feedback. I logged a bug for that. It'll be tricky to import it - normally varchar is mapped to Varchar logical type but varchar(max) is something else. Probably we'll create domain and customer can assign proper logical type to it later.

Import Manager MDM 3.0 Updating old Maps

Dear MDM Catalog gurus,
After having upgraded from MDM 2.0 to MDM 3.0 the maps have to be
updated in Import Manager.
1.
When trying to update MDM import Maps in the new "SAP Import Manager" messages
like
- "There are multiple roots for the XML Schema. Please select the correct one" or
- "There are multiple path for Table "ARTICLE". Please select the correct one"
come up.
What exactly do we have to do? What is the root of an XML-Schema? Can
I find that in Console or by looking into "old" Maps with the old Import Manager?
I saved the old Schema files from Console before upgrading to MDM 3.0.
Now when I open this old XML-Schema file with an editor, where can I
find e.g. the "old" root node.
2.
What happens if I say "No" I don't want to update the old Import Maps
when starting Import Manager.
Then all old Maps are gone and I have to recreate them. But does this
have an effect on the further upgrading process to MDM 3.0? Will the
old repositories work under MDM 3.0 after having sais NO?
Any idea?
Thanks a lot for your help in advance.
Best regards,
Henning

Hi there,
thanks for that hints, but this does not really help.
I already read a lot of sap links, but don't really get a solution where I can find information about where to find the rood node (or what it is) or information to former paths.
Is there perhaps anybody how also made an upgrade from MDM Catalog 2.0 to 3.0 with similar experience?
Thanks in advance,
best regards,
Henning

Problem in mapping from import manager to Data manager

hi friend's....I got a problem while mapping the data from import manager to Data manager .The problem is the data in import manager (i.e source hierarchy) will map to single filed in data manager ( i.e target hierarchy)..
Help me it will be great full to me
Regards
Yugandhar

Hi Ana,
If you have a hierarchy in this format:
N1            N2                 N3
A              A1                 A11
A              A2                 A21
A              A3                 A31
B              B1                 B11
Then u have to follow these steps for import.
1. Select source file and destination hierarchy table at top of import manager.
2. Go to Partitions tab (Second tab) Just above the tabs, if u click on the plus sign against your source file, you will see N1, N2 and N3. Cick on N1 and in partition tab, add N2 to right side by double clicking on N2.
3. Now add N3 to right side by double clicking on it.
4. Go to field mapping (Third tab). There you will see a field N1(Partition). Map this field to yourhierarchy field on destination side.
5. In value mapping (Below the field mapping), Expand your source hierarchy. Select all (ctrl + A). Click on "Add" button. Select "Add Branch as child" option.
6. Go to Matching tab (Fourth tab). only one field will be there. take ity on the right side. and select the import action as "Create".
7. Go to last tab. Click on import button.
Your hierarchy has been imported. You can check it in data manager (in hierarchy mode).
Hope this solves your problem.

Dheeraj.

SRM-MDM-CAT How to map images in Groups

Dear all,
can anybody please explain to me how I can map images in groups to articles?
What I did yet:
1. Import Images from different suppliers into MDM. Each Supplier has his own image group. Am I right if I think the images in a group are unique? So two or more images can have the same name in different groups and I then have different pictures?
2. Now I want to map my articles to these pictures with the import manager. I have the fields: supplier (=group), article_numer and image.
So how can I map the group into import manager? I only see the image field?
Best regards and thanks for help.
Roman

Hi Roman,
are you uploading the picture files directly into the repository or you only using hyperlinks?
By hyperlinks you can map this directly in the import manager. The image you have to import.
If you have all the needed pictures in the rep., then you have to map this in Data Manager.
There you have to select the items, which should have the same picture and in Image you can select the picture. Don't forget to save the changes!
I hope this helps.

Combining two source fields in Import Manager

Hi,
I am trying to combine two source fields say fld1 with 5 digit and Fld2 with 3 digit so that combined fld3 of 8 digit can be mapped to a 8 digit field in destination MDM side.
Any suggestion how to do this is highly appreciated
Thanks,
-reo

Hi Reo,
I am just adding details to how to combine fields in the import manager.
To combine two or more existing partitions for a destination node steps are as follows:
1. In the appropriate source hierarchy tree, select the node whose partitions you want to combine.
2. click on the Partition Field/Value tab to make it the active tab.
3. In the appropriate Partition list, select the two or more partition items you want to combine into a single partition.
4. Click on the Combine button, or right-click on one of the items and choose Combine Partitions from the context menu.
5. MDM combines the selected partition items.
6. Now you can map this partition directly to the destination field.
But as ur requirement seems ,u do not need to set delimiter.
Hope it will help you and let me know the results. please remark .
Thanks,

How to import data usin Import manager if one of the field is of type LOOKUP[FLAT].

Consider a scenario:
Where I created a Main table named STUDENT and it has 4 fields,
a) Among which 2 fields are OF DATA TYPE TEXT[50] and
b) Remaining two are of DATA TYPE LOOKUP[FLAT] and corresponding look up table also created in the repository.
When I tried to create a file with certain input records and tried to import the values into the Main table using MDM IMPORT Manager, I am getting error at the IMPORT STATUS tab with the action item message: MAP 'FILED NAME OF LOOKUP[FLAT] TABLE' FIELD VALUE(S).
Do I need to do any special action to import record if the field is of data type LOOKUP[FLAT].
Please advice.

Hi,
Since you need to import value into a field which is referred by a flat look table, you need to map the values of that field to the values maintain in flat look up table.
You can do the mapping from "Map Fields/Values" Tab.
You have probably Mapped Source fields with destination fields, but in case of importing values in lookup fields you need to map Source Value with destination value.
Keep the cursor on the required lookup field in Source field section, below that section you will be able to see Source Value section perform the mapping in that section too and it will resolve your issue.

Create key mapping using import manager for lookup table FROM EXCEL file

hello,
i would like create key mapping while importing the values via excel file.
the source file containing the key, but how do i map it to the lookup table?
the properties of the table has enable the creation of mapping key. but during the mapping in import manager, i cant find any way to map the key mapping..
eg
lookup table contains:
Material Group
Code
excel file contain
MatGroup1 Code System
Thanks!
Shanti

Hi Shanti,
Assuming you have already defined below listed points
1) Key Mapping "Yes" to your lookup table in MDM Console
2) Created a New Remote System in MDM console
3) proper rights for your account for updating the remote key values in to data manager through import manager.
Your sample file can have Material Group and Code alone which can be exported from Data Manager by File-> Export To -> Excel, if you have data already in Data Manager.
Open your sample file through Import Manager by selecting the remote system for which you want to import the Key mapping.
(Do Not select MDM as Remote System, which do not allows you to maintain key mapping values) and also the file type as Excel
Now select your Soruce and Destination tables, under the destination fields you will be seeing a new field called [Remote Key]
Map you source and destination fields correspondingly and Clone your source field code by right clicking on code in the source hierarchy and map it to Remote Key if you want the code to be in the remote key values.
And in the matching criteria select destination field code as a Matching field and change the default import action to Update NULL fields or UPDATED MAPPED FIELDS as required,
After sucessfull import you can check the Remote Key values in Data Manager.
Hope this helps
Thanks

How to preform the auto extraction of the Excel file in Import Manager

Hi Experts,
I was performing an automatic import using the Import Manager.
In the port, i defined the map name, file type and the automatic execution. But the import manager could not perform the mapping correctly after i putted the Excel file into the ready folder. And the error message in the exception log was "MS Excel is not supported on x64 platform." But when I imported the file in import manager manually, nothing wrong was happend duing this processing.
How could I perform a correctly mapping in the Import Manager.

Hi Wendrin,
This is a limitation . The MDIS on 64-bit Windows cannot import from Excel . However manual imports are supported (as this doesnt need MDIS).
XML is the best suited format for automating imports in MDM. Suggest you switch over to xml and setup auto import.

How to add hyperlinks in Import Manager

Dear MDM-gurus!
I really tried hard to find the solution, but couldn't find it here or in OSS.
We already have a repository with more than 50.000 items.
What I'd like to do is to add hyperlinks to PDF-files in the internet to each item.
For this we got an excel-file from the supplier with the supplier part number in one column, the PDF-link in another column and the .
In Data Manager I was able to add links manually or also with importing entries of the excel-file. Importing from excel takes a LOT of time. I don' t know why:
- Fields to import: Hyperlinks
- Key fields: Supplier part number.
--> Action: Update all single matches.
How can I import hyperlinks in Import Manager, make the mapping and then update the records faster? E.g. I could not find the field "URL <Hyperlink> [Qual]" in Import Manager
Thanks for your help and best regards,
Henning

Resolved!
I accidently oversaw the URL fields in Import Manager in table catalog items.
