Hyperlink Qualifier in MDM

Hello experts,
I have encountered a problem in the Hyperlink Qualifier in MDM, specifically the URL field which is only 333 characters. When I import files data from DMS-Content server, the URL is longer than 333 due to encryption. When i try to import this value I get a message when I map the field that Source data is larger than destination field. Is there a way to create new field for the URL and to define it as Text Large? Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance
Limor

Limor,
Text large is Text field (> 333 chars). Try the same.
Hope this helps.
thanks

Hyperlinks on SAP MDM Publisher Catalog

Hello Friends,
I need to create a catalog having hyper links.
Can I define hyperlinks in console or some otherplace, so that in the final publisher catalog, I have a hyperlink.
Thanks and Regards,
Sameer.
Edited by: SAMEER CHOPRA on Nov 26, 2009 10:12 AM

Hi Sameer,
Generaly, it is recommended saving URLs in the Text HTMLs table in MDM.
Referencing URLs of the Text HTMLs table enables you to preview the website (right click on the text html record->view detail-> preview tab).
However, I agree with Markus's comment. Accessing hyperlinks In a printed publication seems to me less relevant.
If the requirement is only displaying the URL in the printed catalogue you may also consider storing them as plain texts.

SRM MDM - Multiple hyperlinks import into qualified table

Hi,
I need to create an import map where I can import two hyperlinks (URL2 and URL3) into the Hyperlink qualified table.
How can I achieve this?
I have an XML schema where the two hyperlinks are given in separate tags:
<URL2>http://www.test.net/xxxx</URL2>
<URL3>http://www.test.net/yyyy</URL3>
Can anyone provide me with a HOW-TO for how to map these two tags into the qualified table Hyperlink.
Maybe I should create two sections in the XML?
<URL2>
<MIME Type>URL</MIME Type>
<URL>http://www.test.net/xxxx</URL>
<URL Description>TEST URL</URL Description>
</URL2>
<URL3></URL3>
KR,
Thomas

Thank you very much. This worked fine.
Now I have another problem someone might be able to help me with.
The sending system does not wish to send a repeating XML tag with the two hyperlinks. It causes restrictions in the data amount that can be sent.
We see two possible solutions
1.
Building the hyperlinks in MDM, like a calculation.
<URL2>http://www.test.net/xxxx</URL2>
<URL3>http://www.test.net/yyyy</URL3>
xxxx and yyyy are values in fields we have in the MDM structure. Everything before this in the hyperlink is always the same.
Is it possible to create the hyperlinks based on the value of xxxx and yyyy? If yes, how could we manage this, also filling the fileds: URL Description, Hyperlink Type and MIME Type with correct information?
2.
PI can create the URLs during integration.
Which of these two should we use?
KR,
Thomas

Get Qualifier value from Qualified table

Hi,
I am trying to get all the qualifier value for a qualified table. What is the best way to do it. Can I use QualifierSearchDimension to search for all the qualifier value.
Re: Lookup [Qualified Flat] type field how to use as a query condition? link gives us a way to do this , but it talk about getting the non - qualifiers only , so How can we get the qualifier values.
The link Search Qualifier Fields : MDM Java APIs gives us a way to this , but it is using old Java API , does anyone know how to do it using MDM API SP06.
Thanks and Regards,
Subhasis

Hi Subhasis,
The Search API's will only search for a particular value in the qualified tables. In order to read all the qualifier and non qualifier for a record, please follow the below mentioned steps.
Assuming 'rec' is the variable that holds the reference for the current record.
MdmValue lookUpVal = rec.getFieldValuel(<Field Id of the field>);
com.sap.mdm.valuetypes.QualifiedLookupValue val = (com.sap.mdm.valuetypes.QualifiedLookupValue) lookUpVal;
// Get the total number of qualified records present for that field
int size = val.getValuesCount();
// Iterate through each qualified record to fetch the details
for(int i=0;i<size;i++){
    MdmValue nqVal = val.getValue(i);
   if(nqVal != null){
         MdmValue incVal = val.getQualifierFieldValue(i,<Field Id of the qualifier field value>);

Pictures not appearing in after upgrade to SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP7 Patch4

Hello,
Due to some issues in Advanced search we performed the service pack upgrade from SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP5 (with MDM 7.1.03.72) to SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP7 Patch4 ( MDM 7.1.04.146). With this new SP, the Pictures are not appearing anymore under the Hyperlink section anwhere in Catalog browser( Compare, Context view, Item details). With earlier SP pictures were appearing perfectly.
We have done like this:( refer earlier thread - Re: SRM MDM Catalog 3.0 Image display) thanks Sudhanshu, Jitesh and Mandeep for suggesting that solution!
Using the hyperlink field
type : rendered
MIME type : image type i.e. .jpg
URL : web URL
We had gone for this option because we dont want to store impages in MDM, and this worked perfoectly until new SP upgrade.
Any clues?
Thanks
Pravin

Hi Bala,
Nothing appears under the Hyperlink section in Catalog browser, though a valid link exists in Data Manager under Hyperlink as type-Rendered, MIME type as JPG and a valid URL.
I have searched Service Market place for this fix of this issue and found that SAP has improved the technology ( from Object Cache to Blob Cache) to display pictures/hyperlinks from SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP06 and MDM 7.1SP04 onwards. We were on SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP05 and MDM 7.1 SP03 before Dev upgrade.
Here are the notes for reference of others who get into same issue.
Note 1450593 - Implementation of BlobCache
This note states "MDM7.1 SP04 offers new image caching functionality called Blob Cache. The old functionality of Object Cache is replaced with the Blocb Cache mechanism in Catalog 3.0 SP06 P1"
Note 1505796 - Images not showing in SRM-MDM catalog (error in BlobCache)
This note talks about the issue in MDM API with Blob Cache. The Fix has been provided in SRM-MDM Catalog SP08 Patch 01.
But upgrade is not something that happens on the drop of a hat, we dont want to do another upgrade, I would like to know if there is a workaround.
Thanks
Pravin

Qualified table entry

Hi Experts!
I am trying to create a design in which there is one Independent field and 7 dependent field using Qualified tablein MDM.
In ECC though,Only valid entries are allowed for one corresponding selection of NQ.
But in MDM i can create any value without any issue.SO my question is how will my system know that for one entry of NQ only particular entries of other fields are allowed.
Pls guide!
Thanks,
Ravz

Hi,
As validation is not possible on qualified tables.
If you really want to put validation entries then use table for qualifiers so that you can put onlt that valkue that defined in that table.
Thanks,
sudhanshu

Images stop appearing in SRM Catalog

Hi,
We have a problem thet images in the SRM Catalog stop showing.
The images are loaded in to the MDM Repository, (no hyperlinks)
The end users can see some of the pictures but some are just blank (no red cross even)
We are now using SAP MDM 7.1 SP09 and SRM 7.0 EHP2
Do you have any ideas how this problem can be solved?
Many thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Kim

Hi Sudha.
PDF's are supported by SRM-MDM Catalog as a hyperlinks.
Try attaching the PDF as a hyperlink for a record.
- Select a record-> Naviagate to Hyperlink Qualified Lookup->Add a new entry ->Select type as Link->Provide the PDF URL and other details->Save the record.
you can also do a mass upload of the PDF to a repository.
Now configure the hyperlink column to the UI and launch the catalog and check, you will find the link of the PDF where you can
open it by clicking the hyperlink. Let me know if you face any issues.
Regards
Bala

SRM-MDM - loading hyperlink field in import manager

Hi forum members,
I am having trouble loading the hyperlinks in for SRM-MDM in import manager.
What fields / values do I need to map to load this please?
I have mapped the hyperlink source field to the hyperlink destination field, but get an error during import executing saying there is an creating lookup table entry.
Is anyone able to provide step-by-step details of which mappings are needed?
Thanks very much,
Nick

Hi Nicholas,
the non-qualifier for the hyperlinks table is the type. Therefore you need to also map this field. Please check note 1077701 (under 11.) on how to use the types.
Let us know whether that helped.
Best regards
Christian

MDM qualified range - concern

Hello Experts,
I am using qualified range to generate customer number based on the account group.
But its not allowing me to syndicate the alphanumeric values since it expects
numbers only. If I enter the remote system & key mapping details in the record while
creation the alphanumeric record then syndication goes fine. But it doesn't allows
to key the remote system details all alone for the internal number range as its
using a qualified range.
Any way to resolve this issue?
Thanks in advance,
Elizabeth.

Hi Elizabeth,
This is true that it uses only Numeric values while defining Qualified Range using Remote System of MDM Console.
But it doesn't allows to key the remote system details all alone for the internal number range as its using a qualified range.
I didn't get you exactly here, if you mean that you want to syndicate records on the basis of account number and want to generate customer number which is numeric then its possible. For this the Qualified field which is look-up to some sub-table, for this sub-table Key mapping Property should also be Yes.
Please refer step by step guide to make use of qualified range:

SRM-MDM Catalogue Search UI - Qualified table search

Hi,
We are having the following situation:
- We have a catalogue of articles
- We have to tie an article to a location, in addition to a location-specific parameter.
- Exampe:
Article A is tied to location A, parameter A
Article B is tied to location B, parameter B
Article C is tied to location A, parameter B
- The way to solve this in MDM is to use the qualified table. I have created one where:
Location = non-qualifier
parameter = qualifier
I want to make this searchable in the SRM-MDM search UI.
The user should be able to choose one Location, and then one parameter tied to that Location, to view relevant articles.
This is no problem using SAP Portal with MDM. But how can we realise this using SRM-MDM search UI?
I have tried, but can only get a drop down or text search on the non-qualifier field.
Can anyone please help? Is this even possible?
KR;
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
Is there any possibilities to configure/add code to the search UI, or is this completely locked for customization/altering through code? Unfortunately, I feel it is standard and we can not customize it.
There is no issue in your design but if your location as well as parameter has certain(limited) number of values only. You can create location field in MDM Main table which is lookup to Locations Flat table and similarly for Parameter field lookup to Parameters table rather than using Qualified table. As you can set lookup/Text field search only, so you can set these two fields in your search criteria. where first you search for Location say US it will search records with US location and when you further give search according to parameter it will further filter(navigate) records based on both Location and parameter, just a thought came which i feel to share with you, try it if it helps you.

Mandeep Saini
