Import 2 source fields into one destination field (appending entries)

Dear forum members,
In MDM Import Manager, is it possible to take 2 fields from the source file structure and map the values to the same destination lookup field, so both values are appended to the table for the same record?
If so, can you provide detaiuls and considerations?
I have been looking at partitions, but all I can do is create a single record in the lookup table consisting of both values combined.
Many thanks,
Nick

Hi Alon,
Yes the field I am testing with is called 'Hyperlink' of type 'Lookup [Qualified Flat] (multi-valued)'
The field shows as type 'F' in the destination field pane.
I do acrtually want to load to a different field eventually, but am just testing with this as it seems to be the riight type.
The table I want to load to is the Hyperlinks table in SRM-MDM. It has the following structure in the console:
Field Name        Field Type       Non-Qualifier / Qualifier
Type                 (Lookup[flat])    Non-qualifier
Mime Type        (Lookup[flat])    Qualifier
URL                  (Text)              Qualifier
URL Description (Text)              Qualifier
In import manager, the fields available are:
Hyperlink                                F    Lookup [Qualified Flat] (multi-valued)
Mime Type <Hyperlink>           Q   Lookup [Flat]
URL <Hyperlink>                     Q Text[250]
URL Description <Hyperlink>    Q Text[250]
Ultimately I am trying to map:
1. Hyperlink          - a null source value to a fixed dest value of 'Link'
2. Mime Type        - a null source value to a null dest value
3. URL                  - 2 values from 2 fields in the source file to 2 (appended) entries
4. URL Description - same 2 source values in the source file to 2 (appended) entries
Unfortunately we cannot modify the hyperlinks table or use a different one as the fields will not be displayed properly in the catalogue view SRM requisitioners will have so I HAVE to use this table and these fields.
What do you think?
Thanks a lot,
Nick

How to configure GG to merge two source tables into one destination table?

I have two tables at source (say S1 & S2), I want to merge these tables and replicate to a single target table (Say T1).
Does GG support this type of replication? If so, could any one let me know how to configure Table and Map parameters?
Thanks in advance.

It is possible. In the extract capture both the tables.
Extract parameter
table s1;
table s2;
Replicat parameter
map s1, target t1, keycols (...);
map s2, target t1, keycols (...)

Question: map the whole source message into one field in the target.

Hi Friends,
Is there a way to populate the whole source message into one of the fields in the target message?
I am trying to do this in message mapping. Guide if this could be done in any other way or is there a way to do it in message mapping.
Waiting for your valuable guidance,
Regards,
Lakshmi

Hi Friends,
I tried to convert the source message into a string using XSLT mapping. It was successful, however i need to have the source message in XML format and not in any other format. This is because, I am mapping the source XML into a field in a WSDL. The webservice requires the entire source message be inside a field called "Request" in the WSDL (it is like XML inside another XML).
Is there any way to do this? Please suggest.. (Im not good at java programming... may be i dont know)

SSIS 2012 is intermittently failing with below "Invalid date format" while importing data from a source table into a Destination table with same exact schema.

We migrated Packages from SSIS 2008 to 2012. The Package is working fine in all the environments except in one of our environment.

End Error
But when we reorder the column in "Updated" in Destination table, the package is importing data successfully.
This looks like bug to me, Any suggestion?

Hi Mohideen,
Based on my research, the issue might be related to one of the following factors:
Memory pressure. Check there is a memory challenge when the issue occurs. In addition, if the package runs in 32-bit runtime on the specific server, use the 64-bit runtime instead.
A known issue with SQL Native Client. As a workaround, use .NET data provider instead of SNAC.
Hope this helps.

How do I import multiple Ai files into one Indesign File - whilst still keeping the Ai Files editable and up dateable for the one Indesign File?

Hi All,
Im relatively new to Ai and Indesign, and have been doing Uni work over Christmas, and have a rather urgent question thats stressing me out.
I originally had many art boards in my ai file, but due to the number, I split these into single files to help my computer run better.
Now I want to organise them into one document to save. From searching online Indesign can import these and save as one file, yet automatically update if the original ai file is updated. I would like to do this but just don't know how to do this correctly?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Im using CC Ai and indesign.
Thanks in advance
Sam

Yes, effectively I would like to catalogue the files into one collection so i can save as one PDF and Print as one.:)
I know I could save each AI as a pdf them then merge the pdf's together in acrobat, but I have nearly 100 files so would feel more comfortable seeing them all together before print / saving.
My concern is that if I insert them in Ai, will the file resolution reduce? and will the ai still be editable and would it update the indesign file?
Thanks for the quick reply

How to import multiple XML files into one inDesign document without copy/paste ?

I use InDesign CS6, and I have several XML files with the same structure. Only the data are different.
I created an Indesign layout with some tagged placeholder frames on merge mode, for automated layout.
Today for each XML file I have to create a new InDesign document to import the XML. Everything works fine. Then in order to have all Indesign layouts one after the other into a single Indesign layout, I have to use the copy/paste function.
I mean for example, copy the contents of all documents to the first one. Or add pages of other documents to the first one, then delete spaces between each page.
So my question is the following:
How to repeat this process without copy/paste function, knowing that the
number of XML files could be unknown.
Thank you very much for your answer.

Message mapping - Map 2 source contexts into one target context

Hi,
I have an issue as follows:
Source context 1 (defined as 1.....unbounded)
Source context 2 (defined as 1.....unbounded)
Target context 1 (defined as 1.....unbounded)
I need to map both source contexts into the single target contexts.
For example....
Source context 1 has 3 entries
Source context 2 has 2 entries
Target context would have 5 entries in total (Source context 1 and Source context 2)
I have only limited knowledge of working with multiple contexts so need a bit of advice.
Can someone provide an easy way to do this ? I'm sure there is.
Cheers
Colin.

The answer is quite simple.
Right-click on the target node in the mapping editor and select the option "duplicate subtree".
You will then have two destination nodes.
Now you can map source1 to target1 and source2 to target2

How do you import multiple iMovie projects into one iDVD project?

Hi.
I'm 17, and am trying to create a DVD of when the family went on a cruise. For different places/days, I've created different iMovie projects.
But, when I want to export to iDVD, it only lets me put one iMovie project into one iDVD project?
I've tried dragging the actual iMovie project files into iDVD but that doesn't work.
I know I could export to QuickTime and then drag it into iDVD, but it seems exporting just to iDVD is much quicker, and the quality is better.
Anyone know how I can do this?
cheers
+P.S. If it helps, it's iMovie '11 with iDVD '09.+

That is not true. You can use them all in one DVD. I have just created my first DVD which has a trailer, a movie with chapters and several different slide shows.
All you have to do is save each project to Media Browser. (Choose Share in toolbar). Open iDVD and choose your theme or no theme. On the right will be all your options such as audio, media photo's etc. Choose your various video's/projects etc and just drag and drop which ones you want to the page and they will automatically put themselves there with the given name of each video/project.

Need to Insert 2 Fields into one Destination Field

I have a scenario in this way:
Source Table
Inventory
Alocation| Blocation
ABC DEF
Destination Table
LocationID
Mapping Table
LocationID, Location
1 ABC
2 DEF
Now I have to write a query wherey both the location codes should be inserted into LocationID in Destination table
Normally If one Location was available I would have inserted, but I need to insert both the Records into Destination by mapping them to Mapping table
if one Location Was Available:
Insert Into DestinationTable
(LocationID)
Select M.LocationID From MappingTable M Join Sourcetable S Where M.location = S.ALocation
This would Output
Destination Table
LocationID
1
But I want to see this as
Destination Table
LocationID
1
2
Please Help on this.
Thanks

Import multiple MP3 files into one video demo? (Cap 6)

Hi,
I have recorded a video demo in Captivate 6. I have individual MP3 files that I would like to import into the file and then synchronize with the video. Can this be done? I imported one longer audio file, but it would be helpful to be able to bring in individual ones so I can sync more easily without splitting sometimes.
Thank you
Michele

Hi Michele,
Are you using an Event Video or a Multi-Slide Synchonize one?
If your video spread across various slides, you can insert your audio to 'slides' and can edit and adjust the audio timing as per your requirement and time it to a certain duration equivalent to the corresponding video duration on the same slide.
In case of an Event Video, You can try inserting audio to individual slides and time the audio to be in sync with video based on their durations or else you can go to the Vidoe properties and can add audio and bind it up to play alongside with video.
Thanks,
Anjaneai

About the Maximum of Source Ports to ONE Destination Port on ESW 520 24P

Does the ESW 520 24P Support Mirroring 20 Ports Traffic to 1 Destination Port?

Hi Andy
No the ESW supports mirroring groups that can each mirror 8 ports to a destination port.
This is great for normal problem determination purposes. I can guess at your application.

XML into one field

Hi , we have a scenario where we have to move entire source structure into one of the fields of the target structure.
Example:
Source:
item1
description
store
storedescription
price
batch
Target:
item1
store
xmlstring
we would like to do following mappings:
1. item1 in source to item1 in target
2. store in source to store in target
3. entire source structure in XML format into xmlstring in target
we reffered following blog , but couldnt map to our requirement.

XML to single element: Attn: Henrique
Thanks,
Rajesh

HI
I think you need to write UDF for this. there is library from apache called XML Serializer. Below is the sample file how you achieve that using that. Use that code in your UDF.
http://www.informit.com/articles/article.asp?p=31349&seqNum=3&rl=1
Even just concatenate into one field in the target during mapping and the send the data . this could also achive your requirments. no need to go for Java mapping
thanks
