Import and automatic hierarchy integration

Hello,
at the moment, I'm trying to import articles to MDM. Each article include the commodity group information (eCl@ss - 8 numbers) which fits to my hierarchy table. Now I'm in the MDM Import Manager and want to import some articles, now it is necessary to map each article on it's own. For example:
Article Commodity Group: 19010105 <--- map ---> Commodity hierarchy: 19010105 Personal Computer
Is it possible to map the coloum "Article Commodity Group" with the "Commodity hierarchy" Table without mapping each article? - I think there must be a possibilty but at the moment I'm not able to solve the problem.
Regards,
Andi

Hi,
Hierarchy is a lookup, so 1st time when you sre importing you need to map all the values also along with the fields. mapping of values next time you can do away by using key mapping functionality.
1.in console make key mapping="yes" for the hierachy table that you have maintained.
2. When you import 1st time from a file map remote key to the Code/UF you are maintaining.
3. save the map.
4. Use the same map next time you import.All values would be automatically mapped.
It should work..

The Projects screen to import and export SAP xApp Manufacturing Integration

Hello:
On my SAP Discovery Server, On the Projects screen to import and export SAP xApp Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (SAP xMII) projects.
Under the projects listed I see one Default project, is listed as a System Project.
I did an import and used one of the sample application, along with the ExportManifest.xml file.
"You can create an external project structure, include it in a zip file, and import it as a new project. You do not need an ExportManifest.xml file to import a project."
Now I see two projects listed as System Projects, is that ok, would that cause any issues? Is there any way that I could correct this?
Note:
If you import a project that already exists, the system overwrites the current project structure and files.
You can import hidden projects that do not appear on the Projects screen or in the SAP xMII Workbench. System-defined projects may appear in the Projects screen and in the SAP xMII Workbench, but you cannot delete them. You can import a project with the same name as a hidden or system-defined project and overwrite its properties. If you do this, they are no longer considered to be hidden or system-defined projects.
Thank you,

You could consider creating a project and exporting it to see the proper format of the zip file, including the ExportManifest. You should find attributes in the xml for setting the description, system type, etc.

How to import Adapter's in Integration directory

Hi,
How to import Adapter's in Integration Directory which we can use in communication channel.
Thanks
Hari

Hi,
The 3rd party adapters must be installed via Deploy Tool or JSPM. But u should have a sda file with the adpater content.
see here for more details on JSPM
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/5006901f-925c-2910-5f98-9ae26cc07eca
Usually all these third-party developed adapters also developed pre-defined business content with mappings, but this does not mean that all the interfaces you have can use it. If you do not have any custom work, then you can automate it, but if there is custom work then you have to enhance or develop new maps.
For example, Seeburger has over 20 maps to convert EDI X12 to standard IDoc maps and vice-versa (INVOIC Idoc to 4010 etc).

DRM/MDM Import and Export File types - Question

Hi Guys,
We have been implementing Hyperion DRM to our existing Oracle Environment for managing the company's sales data which comes from multiple data sources. In my experience and research, I feel DRM is an excellent tool but there are some questions I have in our mind. The following are the few questions that I\we have.
a) How does the Import and Export of data functionality works in DRM? In this forum, I have found some one saying we can only import the data through flat files, in other words, "text file" with the delimiters [ ] seperated by comma. My question is, Is there any other possible way to import the data, Such as getting the data directly from the database tables? To get the data, Do we need to have any integration points or do we need to use SOAP APIs (& programming)?
b) While we exporting the data, can we export it directly to the Oracle database tables? What are the integration points needed for this kind of export?
c) Is there any sample guide or design document available for creating the hierarchy and nodes. I just want to know how the attributes that we have "is transformed" into the hierarchies and nodes in DRM? In the past, I used Essbase, which is integrated with DRM and that process was straight forward since we imported and exported data directly from DRM to Essbase.
I would appreciate any suggestion offered to me regarding the questions posted above.
Thanks in advance,
Leo

Hi,
1.As per my knowledge the Import can be done using Flat files only,we can import the data from Oracle Tables once the structure is ready in DRM.
2.We have an utility called Export to Table(in the last tab when you performing an Export along with Export to File), which requires the DB mapping to be done properly,
Thanks!

What is the difference between /assets/account/import and /data/account ?

Does anybody knows what is the use of /assets/account/import and /data/account.
What is the difference between these two and their functional use.
thanks

/assets/account/import is used in the context of performing account file uploads through the E10 UI. If you navigate to Contacts > Accounts > and click Upload in the top right corner (above search), you'll get the upload wizard:
The moment you click the cloud icon and select a file, two actions take place:
1) POST to /assets/account/import is made, where you are passing the name, import source and purpose of the import. The response includes the id of the new import object you created
2) Another POST to /assets/account/import/{id}/csv is made, which includes the data in your chosen file
Afterwards, you perform the mappings and go to step 4 of the wizard. When you click Finish, another two actions take place:
1) PUT /assets/account/import/{id} to update the import definition with your mappings from Step 3
2) POST to /assets/account/import/{id}/queue to send this import into the import/upload queue. At this point it becomes visible from Setup > Integration > Inbound > Reporting > Upload History
Note that this workflow is not meant for client use, but rather helps facilitate UI functionality for marketing users. You should be using Bulk API to add or update records, which also confers other advantages such as the ability to use syncActions. The only functionality not available in Bulk API which is available through this workflow is the ability to delete Accounts. For obvious reasons, its recommend that you do NOT automate the deletion of any records. Accounts especially are not subject to any band limits or rates, so its best to have Marketers remove them as needed.
Regarding the second part of your question, the /data/accounts endpoint will provide you with up to 1000 account records when using GET. A POST can also be made to create a new account record (company) within Eloqua. Otherwise, GET /data/account/{id} will retrieve the details of a particular record and PUT /data/account{id} will update a particular.
Best regards,
Bojan

Alternative way to import and organize photos?

Hi,
I've got a mixed Mac/XP setup, and would like to make all photos available to all users. I'll be implementing iPhoto on the Macs, obviously.
Currently, I've got all my photos organized by directory in a YEAR/MONTH/DAY/CAMERA hierarchy. This makes it fairly easy to browse with nothing more than Finder/XP Explorer.
I'm thinking I'll keep this format, and just have iPhoto reference these files in their current locations, since the iPhoto organization is less intuitive for those that can't use iPhoto (those being the XP users on my network).
Is there an easy way to download photos into this hierarchy, then launch iPhoto, and tell it to add these newly downloaded files to the library, referenced in their current location? Perhaps an ImageCapture/Automator type workflow?
Thanks.
Matt

welcher:
To keep your file system the way you want and have auto import of your files you'd need an application like iView MediaPro. I have auto update capability for adding files/folders to it's system, called a catalog. I use it as my primary image management application and iPhoto for creating books, calendars, cards, etc. iVMP allows you to annotate the files and write those annotations back to the file itself. It also lets you rename the actual file names, either individually or in batches. I use it to rename each file with it's EXIF Capture Date in the format YYYY-MM-DD-description-001.jpg, -002, jpg, etc. That gives me excellent chronological sorting and searching capabilities in any application. iVMP also lets you create hierarchical Catalog Sets for advanced organization.
The alias based system that you're considering will keep your "source" files in the same structure as you'd like but, as Terence pointed out, you have to add the new files manually. I you could add a folder action to each of your source file folders to automatically import into iPhoto any new file added to that folder. However, that file(s) would come into iPhoto in it's/their own roll. Another caveat of the alias based system is that if you delete a photo from iPhoto you have to delete it manually from your source files. AND you can't move or rename the source files once they've been imported into iPhoto.
You can somewhat mimic your folder structure by creating folders, sub folder, albums and smart albums in the Source pane to group your photos as desired. You can also use the calendar at the bottom of the Souce pane (on the left) to locate files by year/month/date. You can also use Smart Albums to group photos by camera ( and go farther and sort by year/month/camera - by day would be too many smart albums IMO).
There are a lot of ways to achieve what you want. My Tutorials have some additional information on using iPhoto's alias system.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Need help to import and syncronize HCM pagelets with Interaction Hub, how can I do that?

Hi,
I need help to import and synchronize HCM pagelets with Interaction Hub, how can I do that? The default page "Select Remote Content" of the WorkCenter "Unified Navigation WorkCenter" is not working as well, when I run the import/sync button I get the following error message:
Integration Gateway: General Connection Failed (158,10836)
This error is thrown when there is no valid response.
Possible errors include:
Bad gateway URL
Sync Service Timeout set and Service actually timed out.
Java exception thrown - Check Application Server for possible Java exception

Do you have integration configured between the two systems? It sounds like you don't from the error. Here is a walk-through on setting up Unified Navigation although it assumes you have integration already working. If you haven't done that, it's documented a hundred different places.

What's the best way to import and manage iPhone video?

I don't really want to use iPhoto for importing video - it doesn't seem like it's built with that in mind even though it's the default option for importing both photos and videos. It doesn't have very good (if any) options for filtering just videos or just photos, either when viewing or importing. And I don't want to have videos all jumbled in with photos in my iPhoto library.
I also don't really want to use iMovie every time I want to import videos. I know it's designed for video, but it's far more of an editing app than a management app and I don't want to be editing all my videos or loading up iMovie just to browse them.
I considered Clipstart but it commits a cardinal sin when it renames all my videos in the Finder to a sequential numbering that begins at 01.mov for each new day, creating hundreds and thousands of identically titled movies in the video library, albeit in their own folders, but chaos if you want to search in Spotlight or anything.
So I'm left with Image Capture, which gives me complete control of what I import and where it goes. The problem is that it too doesn't offer a filter for seeing just the videos or just the photos on my iPhone. My photos are all being imported automatically by Photostream so I only want to grab the videos. If I set 'view by width' it seperates out the videos because they have no width tag, but then they aren't displayed by date order so I can't easily find the new videos I've not imported before.
So... what do you do?

That's exactly the sort of crafty workaround I like. I didn't know they were all tagged, but that would definitely work. I'd still love a dedicated app that did it really well, or more love given to that side of things in iPhoto. iMovie is too hefty for just managing them.
Is iPhoto properly built to handle management of iPhone video, by the way? I didn't want to use it because it didn't seem like it was, and also because I sync my iPhoto library with Dropbox and video would more than treble the size of the library so I manage it from the Finder mostly, importing clips to iMovie if I do want to edit something (rarely).

How can I STOP iTunes from automatically trying to add podcasts to my iPod when I plug it in and sync it, so I can manage the files? I have already unchecked "Sync Podcasts" and "Automatically include,"yet EVERY time I sync it,it still transfers podcasts as the last step, and at other times randomly, when trying to just add some MP3's to a playlist, for example. I can't seem to find any other option to uncheck, and can't find an answer from my so-far internet searching.

erict, you blew me away with that suggestion! It was something so simple I couldnt believe I hadnt thought of it! But in the end it didn't work, which I was really surprised about. On Windows anytime anything was moved itunes was hoplessly lost, but on this mac it still kept up with everything. I tried renaming folders, moving folders, and even renaming moved folders but it still kept trying to import.
I even went as far as deleting EVERYTHING i had moved to the Mac, which didnt really work. It still kept trying to import what wasnt there which made it continue to freeze up. However, after doing this it, the freezing was not nearly as bad. It gave me enough of a break to cancel it through the itunes dialog box at the top of the app. So in the end, thats all I really needed to do, only before I had deleted everything the freezing would not allow me to do it.
So now Im reimporting everything again, only slowly, and only a few Artists at a time.

What's the best workflow for Home Movie Importing and Enjoying?

I'm new to iMovie (and the mac) and have started importing all my home movies from my camcorder into iMovie. I quickly realized that movies take a huge amount of disk space and it may or may not be reasonable to import all my movies and keep them on the hard disk in .dv format. At 12GB/Hour I would need 1.2 Terabytes of storage (plus backup). If that is the best workflow, i'm happy to invest in a few terabytes of storage and back up. But before I do that, I want to check to see if there is a different workflow I should follow given my use case.
Here is my use case:
I have 100 hours of 8mm and miniDV tapes already and plan to continue creating more.
I want to import them all into the iMac for ease of organization, searching for the clips of interest, and watch them either on my iMAC and also on my TV (via TIVO).
I may do some editing, but this is not a big priority for me at this time. I may do more editing in the distant future when I have more time. My editing for now will be limited to rejecting portions of clips I don't want.
I plan to watch the movies from my iMac on my TV via my TIVO (i've already ordered the Roxio Toast software that I understand I need, per the Tivo web site).
The final piece of my use case is back-up. I'd prefer to back up my movies on disk this way I maintain any editing i've done in case of a disk failure. Depending on what video format is recommended, this may bump me into a RAID multi-terabyte system as both working and automatic backup?
Here are my questions:
Should I maintain my event library in .dv format? (and bite the bullet on the storage)
Or is the .dv format intended only for temporary editing and users are expected to compress into another format after editing? if so, what format and which tool is recommended? (keeping in mind that I want to view the clips via Tivo and Roxio/Toast).
If I need to byte the bullet and invest in storage, my quick math suggests I'll need about 2 terabytes for the library and 2 more for back up for a total of 4 terabytes!?. Is a RAID system recommended for this? (I was surprised that the Apple store did not carry such a system, so perhaps that is not the best option). What would you recommend?
Anyone out there with a similar use case? I know I've asked a lot of questions here. I'd appreciate any recommendations you may have, even if you cant answer all of them.
Thank you.

I am in a similar mode, though about half as much existing DV footage.
+Should I maintain my event library in .dv format? (and bite the bullet on the storage)+
Short answer, yes; long answer:
I did "bite the bullet" since 1T drives are at or just over $100. I'm using a MacBook Pro so I bought an 2 port eSATA card for my cardbus slot ($34), and a 1T eSATA/Firewire/USB drive ($119). I don't plan to "back up" as I am not going to get rid of my Mini DV tapes/vhs/analog tapes, etc. Those will be in an off-site dark cool closet elsewhere. I don't want to do RAID or such as it still puts everything in the same drive unit, in the same location. Basically I'm splitting my video import to two different physical drives. So if lightning, thieves, personal incompetence or whatever strikes, there's more chance it'll only affect one of the drives. I've thought about a Drobo, which you might consider. It is unique device that offers a spin on RAID that offers some advantages.
Everything I read here on these boards suggests that it is best to grab the source video in the original format whenever possible. Since storage is cheap, makes sense to me.
It is likely you wouldn't compress your video unless you were going to edit it. For example if you wanted to make a video of the kids growing up to give the relatives you'd likely end up compressing to burn them a dvd. You would compress if you were going to use MobileMe, YouTube, etc. to post some footage. Whether you watch the video from home, or output to DVD for others, or post online, at least you'll have the source video in it's best possible original format to work with.
This is an aside, but might be useful, I imported one tape at a time, let iM09 create a new event and split per each day. THen I renamed every event based on what the content was before doing the next tape. This really helps later on once yo realize you have a hard drive with 50 hours + of everything in your life on it. I included the year in the name in some way, for example, John's wedding 1994, Hawaii 2000, Hawaii 2004. Then I ended up drag/dropping Hawaii to one event.

Not able to import business system in Integration Directory

Dear all,
Currently i involved in XI system copy. As per the standard documetn i have finsihed the initial activites like EXPORT and import of abap and java files is succedded.
Now in the post instalaltion activites.
I have changed the exchange profile parameter
SLD connection.
And other post installation activites succesfully.
But I am not able to import the business system in Integration director. It throws an error by mentioning.
*Access to object list of type business system using the internalEOA service business system accessor failed *
Here we are maintaing a central SLD and hence i created the service users with specific roles.
SLDcheck is working fine and it dispalying the businees system as well.
I confirmed that the user and password are same in XI and SLD system,
But in SLD I am not able to see the domain under web as Exchagne Infrastructure alonng with the componets. I have tried to registerd the same using the note 761476 but in vain. After the changes i restarted the machin and checked the domain status in SLD technical system under exchagne Inffrastructure its not working.
Is this the problem or am i missing out somewhere?
FYI: The users are not locked.
Kindly suggest me and it will be greatful if i get immediate reply.
Thanks and regards
Vijay kumar G

Hi Vijay,
It looks like the problem is with the SLD.
Did you delete the SAP ABAP and Java technical system and business systems and recreate them in the central SLD? If this was the case, then you may not be able to import them into your integration directory anymore, as the GUID of the new technical systems and business systems are not the same with the previous one.
Why not tried to recopy the SLD again, and this time do not change the technical and business systems. If the reregistration of these systems are not avoidable, then you will have to open up the copied IR for configuration.

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper)

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
thank you

Pages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
How will the script recognize the year of publication?
For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
Best of luck.
Regards,
Barry

How to use XML Gateway for Order Import and Item Import?

Hello XML gurus,
I'm working in Oracle Apps area and do not have much knowledge on XML or web programming. Currently in my project there is a need to use Order Import and Item Import using interface tables and XML Gateway. The items/orders information will be in the XML format from Siebel system, there will be no custom processing...just process the data as-is.
I've read the XML Gateway user guide but did not understand much.
Anyone with similar implementation experience?
I'm looking for a step-by-step guide on what needs to be done in Oracle Apps side to populate the interface tables from XML file and call the import APIs?
Your inputs, suggestions, tips are highly appreciated. :)
Thx,
Jags

I have a similar requirement to automate the order import and was looking at XML Gateway. Please update if you were able to find more information.

Setup interval on Import and Syndication server in 7.1

Hello Experts:
I am upgrading MDM from 5.5 to 7.1; I am having issues with Import Server picking up files from Ready folder, and Syndication Server creating the files on Ready Folder.
1. I checked Console, and both ports, Inbound and Outbound, are setup as Automatic.
2. I restarted both servers
The files are still on the ready folder for Import Server, and Syndication is not creating the file.
1. Do you know what else can I check to make this process automatic?
2. Do you know where, in 7.1, can I check the interval? I used to check it on the mdis.ini file, but I cannot find it in 7.1.
Thank you for your help,
Claudia Hardeman

Hi claudia,
check the below points:
1) Manually you can import and symdicate those files through import manager and syndicate manager its works fine, then PI not picked those files from ready folder, check the communication channel of receiver and sender systems.
2) files having some special characters (like ", ' etc.) MDM is not supported to special characters.
3)check the MDM server running and repository loaded or not.

Bhupal.

Import and rename photos via Automator and ExifTool

Hiya,
Just finished my work on a Automator workflow in order to import and rename photos from a portable hard disk.
I had the problem that my portable hard disk (with integrated card-reader) was not recognised by Image Capture or Aperture. Therefore I couldn't import my photos straight away into Aperture.
Another problem I had was that Aperture doesn't rename photos while importing. Whereas other Automator actions offer this feature, they all didn't fulfill my requirements - yeah, I can be very fussy
That's why I started initially to write a Perl script based on ExifTool in order to copy and rename photos to my liking. Once this was done and very much in use, I started to put it into an Automator action with a little AppleScript around it.
Eventually, I initiated the entire Automator workflow with the Check For Disk action.
More information and the files needed can be found on my website http://photography.stephanjaeger.eu/2007/03/improve-your-digital-photography-wor kflow.html.
The only drawback of this script is that only one camera is supported. At the moment, I work on a solution to support several cameras.
The Perl script can used by itself, if you feel comfortable in using the Terminal.
I hope you find the information and the Automator action helpful.
Any feedback appreciated.
Best regards,
Stephan Jaeger

Brian,
Thanks for giving it a try. Let me know how you get on!
If you have any problems, please don't hesitate to contact me.
By the way, you don't have to use an external hard disk. You could replace easily the first step in that workflow with an other action, such as defining a folder that should be monitored, or selecting manually a folder that contains photos.
I hope that I find some time over the week-end to make some changes to the script. I will set up as well a page on my web site with more details.
All the best,
Stephan
