How to undo a key mapping?

My daughter's 15" Macbook Pro has a strange key mapping to "Shift-C". It won't show the letter "C" but will show "c" (lowercase) and if you hit the caps lock, you can then press "c" and have an uppercase "C" appear... but not with Shift-C. I've looked through the System Preferences for the Keyboard and "Language & Text" but not found any entries that show "Shift-C". I rebooted (good 'ole reboot) but that didn't work either.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks

Did you try to start with shift (Start Items are disabled). Or create a new account, switch to it and see whether the problem persists. This is an indicator, whether this problem is due to a software conflict.
Try to start the keyboard viewer. If you don't find it, enter the following command into the Terminal and hit <enter>
open -a KeyboardViewer
and see whether the Shift-C is wrong.

How to Maintain Surrogate Key Mapping (cross-reference) for Dimension Tables

Hi,
What would be the best approach on ODI to implement the Surrogate Key Mapping Table on the STG layer according to Kimball's technique:
"Surrogate key mapping tables are designed to map natural keys from the disparate source systems to their master data warehouse surrogate key. Mapping tables are an efficient way to maintain surrogate keys in your data warehouse. These compact tables are designed for high-speed processing. Mapping tables contain only the most current value of a surrogate key— used to populate a dimension—and the natural key from the source system. Since the same dimension can have many sources, a mapping table contains a natural key column for each of its sources.
Mapping tables can be equally effective if they are stored in a database or on the file system. The advantage of using a database for mapping tables is that you can utilize the database sequence generator to create new surrogate keys. And also, when indexed properly, mapping tables in a database are very efficient during key value lookups."
We have a requirement to implement cross-reference mapping tables with Natural and Surrogate Keys for each dimension table. These mappings tables will be populated automatically (only inserts) during the E-LT execution, right after inserting into the dimension table.
Someone have any idea on how to implement this on ODI?
Thanks,
Danilo

Hi,
first of all please avoid bolding something. After this according Kimball (if i remember well) is a 1:1 mapping, so no-surrogate key.
After that personally you could use Lookup Table
http://www.odigurus.com/2012/02/lookup-transformation-using-odi.html
or make a simple outer join filtering by your "Active_Flag" column (remember that this filter need to be inside your outer join).

How to view the key mapping when viewing Hierarchy in Data Manager

Hi! I previously posted a question on doing value mapping using the hierarchy code rather than the name. I have got that working now using concept of remote key. When I first loaded the hierarchy with remote key and check in Data Manager, I can see the hierarchy structure with the key mappings. However, when I subsequently went back to the hierarchy to have a second look, the keys are gone. Does anyone know how I can view hierarchy in Data Manager with the key mappings?
Cheers!
SF

Hi,
Go to Record mode, and open Hierarchy table. Now to select click on any hierarchy node record and then right click and select "Edit Key Mappings". This will show you existing keys as well as allow you to manually modify keys. You can only Check Remote keys on hierarchy in Record mode and in Hierarchy Mode "Edit Key Mappings" option will be disabled.
Please revert if you face any issue.

Key Mapping in Syndication Port

Hi,
Scenario -- Syndication through mdm outbound port (automatic mode) :
What will happen after XI successfully created data in R3 ? How MDM will get key mapping?
Do you need to execute import manager externaly to update key mappings or it will automatically take care?
Regards,
Ram

There are several options here :
1) If the Client system allows external numbering, the key can be generated on MDM, and would be transferred in the XML-File and once a new record is created in the Client system, it would takeover this key. When you look in the Console in the Remote system section, there's a field "Key-Generation", which cen be used for this.
2) Internal numbering on the CLient system. When the client system creates a key, this needs to be transferred back to MDM. This can be done e.g via calling a web-service "MDMAddRemoteKey".

Update key mapping via web service

Hi ,
I have a question about edit key mapping. The problem is that we create vendors in MDM and syndicate them to different ERP systems. To decide which system a new vendor/changes must be send to, I need the Edit Key Mapping, but the users do not want to enter this information manually and I do not see how I can create key mapping automatically.
We are working on a new solution where vendors are entered in sharepoint and updated in MDM via web services. I would like to know if one of you know if key mapping can be maintained via a web service.
Kind regards
Jonna

How could I turn off the Command Key to Windows Key mapping in Remote Desktop for Mac 8

I'd like to be able to turn the Command key->Windows key mapping off. In this new app, whenever I use the Command key to initiate a Mac-side function, it registers a press of the Windows key within the Remote Desktop session. Speaking only
for myself, I use the Command Key for quite a lot of Mac operations, while my need and expectation for a Windows key press is zero.

Agreed. Cannot stop it by disabling the "Windows" key (from within Windows 7). Every time I Cmd-Tab to change apps, the Start Menu pops up,
and persists, overlaying other app windows. Much more than annoying.
Also, there is no Clipboard Sharing, apparently. Love typing in long binary strings into the Registry.

Key Mapping in Forms 10g

Dear All,
I have migrated forms 3.0 in unix to forms 10g in windows 2003 server.
In my older version, '+' key is mapped to do COMMIT. I want to map the same key in forms 10g. i tried the same in my frmweb.res. Pls find the mapping done by me below.
*107 : 0 : "Add" : 36 : "Commit"*
This works fine.
The Issue is ... My cursor is in a text item .... I entered some data and press " + " key to save. The data is saved but at the same time the data in the text item is erased and + is getting replaced in the text item. I dont want my data to be erased and replaced with "+" symbol.
How to map the "+" just for COMMIT and should not replace the data in the text item ?
Can anyone help me to solve this issue...
Thanks in Advance

Unfortunately, sometimes the role of the developer is to educate the user/management what can/can't and should/shouldn't be done. If I were in your postition, I would make every effort to educate the user/management this this is a REALLY bad idea and encourage them to use the standard key mapping or use a modifed key mapping that uses just the F-Keys.
The problem you have to overcome is that you have to not only tell Forms to do something different when the '+' key is pressed, but you have to have a listener in your application that is listening for the '+' key and supress the '+' character. To my knowledge, this cannot be done with native Forms built-ins. You would have to write your own Java solution (JavaBean or Pluggable Java Component [PJC]) to suppress the '+'. I have found that if you can provide the user/management with a cost estimate associated with the effort needed to code a particular feature. Once they realize the level effort and more importantly the cost associated with coding a particular feature, they typically will change their mind and see reason.
I know this is not what you wanted to hear, but I hope it will help anyway. :(

Key mapping/ remote key

Hi All,
I have some understanding of key mapping internal functionality.
my question is ... should I use this key mapping feature from all look up tables, main table while importing from remote systems?
should all my feilds have REMOTE KEY enabled.
Lets say I have loaded data into my repository from 3 different remote systems(R1,R2,R3) using remote key feature.
Now, I want to see all the records that belong to R1 only or R2 only?
Can this be seen using remote mapping feature? or how can I see only specific records for one remote system.... should i create another field that identifies the source and just map it? ....... generally how do we handle this?
Also, have uploaded the data for my lookup table DIVISIONS,when i try syndicating it for remote R1......
in my destination preview i can see some records that belong to only R2 and R3 also. I mean I am not able to see only the
records belong to R1 system.
I mapped
division <-> div
desc     <-> desc
there are two more keys like remote key, v...... Should I also map these keys?
Pls let me know,
Thanks & regards,
Vee

Hi,
my question is ... should I use this key mapping feature from all look up tables, main table while importing from remote systems?
should all my feilds have REMOTE KEY enabled.
1. It is totally dpeend upon business requirement which table you want to make remote enable.
    The main reason to use remote key is to syndiacte the data to remote system specific.
     So if you are syndication your subtables to then it is good to make remote key enable.
2. Only tables are remote key enabled not the fields.
Lets say I have loaded data into my repository from 3 different remote systems(R1,R2,R3) using remote key feature.
Now, I want to see all the records that belong to R1 only or R2 only?
Can this be seen using remote mapping feature? or how can I see only specific records for one remote system.... should i create another field that identifies the source and just map it? ....... generally how do we handle this?
This is not possible as standard way.
But workaround is when you map the source field to remote key at destination side in import manager,just make the clone of source field and map it to the new fields to store the system from where the records came.
So in data manager you can search on this field to see only records that is specific to some remote system.
Also, have uploaded the data for my lookup table DIVISIONS,when i try syndicating it for remote R1......
in my destination preview i can see some records that belong to only R2 and R3 also. I mean I am not able to see only the
records belong to R1 system.
I mapped
division <-> div
desc <-> desc
there are two more keys like remote key, v...... Should I also map these keys?
Yes you have to map these fields as well.
Even after mapping this option if you want to syndicate all the remote system records then there is option "override remote keys".after enabling this option there is record generated for each remote system.
hope it helps you.
Thanks,
Sudhanshu

Problem with childs nodes and automatic key mapping in a Data Object

Hi experts!
I'm doing the service order tutorial from the mobile help at [this link|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmobile71/helpdata/en/21/9b5b924c3b434fba4767731794b029/frameset.htm] and I have a problem...
In the topic "Modeling the Equipment Data Object", says you have to mark the "Automatic Key Mapping" checkbox. So when I had to create a third child node ( the location node ) the system raised an exception with the message "Deselect automatic key mapping flag for more than two-level nodes". I'm trying deselecting the flag and creating the location node, but when I want mark again the automatic key mapping flag, this is disabled.
What can I do to solve this and create the three child nodes with the flag marked? It's a configuration thing?
Any help it's very welcome. Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Simon.

The thing is: Its not allowed to use automatic keymapping if you have more than two levels. This is why the message showed up, and this is why its been disabled.
What automatic keymapping does: Figures out automatically which child node belongs to which parent (by guessing from the field name and type, which fields in the child correspond to which key fields of the parent).
On three levels, this becomes more complicated => Its disabled.
How to do keymapping yourself instead of having the DOE do it automatically: Do 'Explicit keymapping' from each child to its parent. Explicit keymapping is done by clicking on the corresponding menu button in the child node. Here you need to associate child node fields (they need not be key fields of the child, but they are allowed to be that as well) to each of its parent nodes key fields (so that each child can be associated to its parent).
Cheers

How can I generate a map file with LabVIEW?

We wish to use a product which inserts code into our executable to prevent tampering with it by crackers. The program, however, takes the executable file, as well as the map file (which is commonly generated by c++ compilers) and uses the map file to determine where in the exe the critical routines that need protection are at. I can not, however, determine how to create such a map file for a LabVIEW generated executable. Is there a special build option I need to invoke?

Yes, I'm familar with NI's licensing technology, having talked with someone (you, Dennis, I believe) about it before. The problem we have is our software is sold to factories in China where there are no internet connections. We have a physical key 'dongle' which must be present in order for the executable to be willing to run. However, it appears that people are taking the executable which LabVIEW creates and they are editing it, probably by using a a debugger and tracing to the the code which checks for the dongles presence and bypassing it. To my knoweledge, NI's products don't do anything to prevent this, right?
We found a company which sells a product that encryptes, checksums, etc... an executable file, but it needs to know the layout of functions in the exe in order to determine which areas to focus the obfuscation on. They were sort of matter of fact when they said it needs the exe and the map file, as if they expected any language which produced an exe could produce a map file.

Can Key Mapping details be available as a serach parameter in MDM DM?

Hello Experts,
Is there any way that we can display or search certain Records in Data Manager/Portal based on the Key Mapping details (Remote System/Key Value assigned for any remote system).
The scenario where I am trying to apply this is:
I have say lacs of records in MDM and i have merged certain records into a new record (Record1) and assigned key mappings to this record1 to point to System1 and System2.
System1 has the key value as ABC and System2 has value set as DEF. If any user wants to now find the merged record based on the key value of system2 (i.e DEF), how will he proceed?
Kindly advice.
Thanks and Regrads,
Elizabeth.

Hi Elizabeth,
In MDM Data Manager, once the record is merged you can see only one record in place of all merged records.
In your case ABC from system1 and DEF from system2 are merged into ABC.
So in data manager you can just search the record based on ABC but not DEF.
However, if you select the record ABC and right click and select Edit key mappings, then you will see both the records and its respective system.
So the work around is using syndicator, send the records in excel sheet or CSV file where you can send both the merged records with merged values.
The users can make a search in that CSV file with DEF as well.

Sravan

Question about key mapping for bank data in SP3 standard Vendor Repository

Hello Colleagues:
The situation is the following:
1) MDM Standard vendor repository does not use Key Mapping for the qualified table data "Bank Details". This makes sense because normally you would pay a vendor in the same account and bank regardless of the company or R/3 system you are paying him from.
2) However, here in my project customer don't have the same bank data for all of the 3 R/3 Systems. Furthermore, they would like to pay a vendor in a diferent bank and account number; depending on where the payment is generated (Company or R/3 system).
Because of this, I though about creating a lookup table for the banks which would use key mapping. I did this and I had no trouble importing bank data in to it.
Now I have this tables:
1) Banks: Lookup Flat:
Country and Bank Key as display fields.
2) Bank Details: Qualified Flat:
2.a) Field "Bank" as a non-qualifier display lookup field which points to a record on "Banks" table (Described in number 1).
2.b) The rest of the fields (Account number, Account holder, Reference, etc.) as qualifier non-display fields.
This aproach works well in data manager.
However, when I try to import vendors from R/3, I'm not being able to map the bank details, not even with "compound field" functionality, because I cannot map the display fields in the "Banks" lookup table (Described in number 1); in the "Map Fields/Values" tab in the Destination fields pane, it won't show any fields from this table.
Also, I'm not very sure if I will be able to syndicate this data back to the R/3 systems correctly, this is; replicate only the banks which exist on each R/3 client system.
Any ideas on how to solve this problem? Please help.
Best Regards,
Jorge.

MDM Exception: Key mapping value must be unique. You cannot overwrite key

"ServerException: Key mapping value must be unique. You cannot overwrite key mapping values."
I received such exception when code tried to manipulate Key Mappings of the record.
error was not happen on mdm 5.5 but on 7.1 it sometimes appears.
What is probable reason of this?
How to resolve this ?
Code is approximate so:
                                     String[] keys = keyMapping.getKeys();
                    if (recordKeyMapping.containsKeyMapping(remoteSystem)) {
                recordKeyMapping.replace(remoteSystem, keys);
          else {
               recordKeyMapping.addKeyMapping(keyMapping);
          //Persist
          targetRecord.update();
//where methods are:
     public void replace(RemoteSystem remoteSystem, String[] keys) {
          KeyMapping keyMapping = getKeyMapping(remoteSystem);
          if (keyMapping == null) throw new IllegalArgumentException("Can't update keys: key mapping for the system '" + remoteSystem + "' is not found");
          else {
               keyMapping.setKeys(keys);
     public void addKeyMapping(KeyMapping keyMapping) {
          RemoteSystem remoteSystem = keyMapping.getRemoteSystem();
          for(int i = 0; i < keyMapping.size(); i++) {
               addKey(remoteSystem, (String) keyMapping.get(i));

Hello -
I am not sure on that coding part. but is it like are you trying to retrive Key Mapping from Memory accelerator. Here this information always needs to be read from Database.
I am sure you also maintained the required attribute for key mapping as in Property in Console should be set as "Yes" and other relevant things properly .
Here also go through the below link for more insight from tools perspective.
