Import data without all display fields

When you import a lookup table all display fields must be mapped and must be a field in the import map. This isn't possible at every import map. For example: we only want to import the code, but "code" + "description" are the displayfields in de look-up table. The workaround is the field "description" make not display during the import. This is possible in case of an once conversion import, but isn't possible in case of a regular import, because the fileds are permanent not display. This isn't acceptable for managing the data. How can we import the data without closing de displayfields temporary?
Thanks in advance,
Heleen

Hello:
You have to import the display fields, because they are the main matching/indexing resource for MDM. what you could do, is to map only nulls and therefore leave it blank. Afterwards don't use this df as matching field.
I hope this helps

Import data without opening explorer built in Import visual button

Hi
How can I Import data without opening explorer. If I add Import button visual and click on it automatically opens explorer to chose exported file. But I already know location and name of exported file so I don't want that explorer to appear.
How can I do it?
Thanks

Hi I was thinking
What about to have code for importing and exporting. for example:
Import(DataName, location)
Import(Collection1, "C:\User\Documents\Data\dataname")
Export(DataName, location)
Export(Collection1, "C:\User\Documents\Data\dataname")
With this code we could easily add it into timerEnd behaviour and we could make automatic backup files
Or
We could add this into save button where we do editing of our collection and save it straight to backup file
We could have the location and data name saved in local machine and call them in that import export code. This is exactly what I need if I want that data to be shared between multiple devices where all the data would be stored on server or
shared folder
And also for better user interface there should be a location picker (button visual) what would open explorer where we could chose the location instead of writing it down into an inputtext
What do you thing about this? Would this work?

Datapump: importing data without execute grant command.

Hi,
maybe I'm missing so please help me.
A customer gave us a dump.
Before start to import the dump, I checked the ddl command and I found
that inside the dump there are command like "grant dba to xxx" where
xxx is the schema tha I shold import.
This is unaccetable for us, and I'm sure (I know the customer) that
this user doesn't need to be a DBA.
There is a way to import the data in a way that I don't have to revoke
all grants (like dba) after the import?
Thanks in advance

Import data into an UDF

Hi experts,
I know I can import data through DTW. but since it has fixed format of template. how can I import data into user-defined fields?
Thanks...

Hi Vic,
Open the DTW, Log on to a company,
Under the menu --> Advansed, click on the Maintain Interface.
A window appears
Select the Object from drop down field, Ex. oBusinessPartners,
Click on the + Sign next to the expand the desired object.
You can find all the Userdefined fields there in the tree view.
Right click on parent node of the Tree and click on Create Template for the structure.
A Save As window appears to save the new template,
Give the path and save the file,
Now the new Template contains all the Userdefined fields also.

Can I Add all the fields from POOL to EXTRACT Structure in LBWE

Dear Experts,
Our Client is asking to add all the fields in the POOL Table to EXTRACT STRUCTURE in LBWE that is he wants to add all the fields from Right Hand Side Table to Left Hand Side Table in the Maintenance of LBWE of all the SD Data Sources. For few fields there is no data even though they are saying that in the nearer future we are going to use all most all fields.
Like wise they are asking to add all the tables like VBAP, VBUP, VBAK, VBKD, VBUK, etc.,
My Questions are:
1.Is it advisable or recommended to add all the fields from POOL to Extract Structure because client desperately needs them.
2.Is there any performance issue when we add the fields from POOL to Extract Structure at the time of extracting data from R/3 to BI.
Regards,
Sai Phani

Hi Sai,
1.Is it advisable or recommended to add all the fields from POOL to Extract Structure because client desperately needs them.
we can add all the fields from the POOL to Extract Structure, if really your business requires to pull all the data.
2.2.Is there any performance issue when we add the fields from POOL to Extract Structure at the time of extracting data from R/3 to BI.
Ofcourse, there will be performance matters, because we have to extract maximum number fields data to BI side. If we have data for all the fields in R/3, we may face performance problems like load takes long time.
Hope this helps.

Crystal Reports Cross-Tab Report not showing all available fields

I am running CR2008 against MS SQL Express. I have several tables with fields and data in them and can create standard reports to show all the data in all the fields. However, when I try to create a cross-tab report, only some of the fields appear for me to choose from.
I created a standard report with all the fields I needed in my cross-tab report and ran a preview. Everything was there. I then added a cross-tab object, selected the tables only to find that fields that are in the main report are not showing up for selection in the cross-tab.

UPDATE: I exported the entire database from MS SQLExpress to MS Access and I am having the same issues, so it does not appear to be a problem with the database engine and, since the standard tabular reports show the fields, I am at a loss as to why they don't show up in the cross-tab or the Parameter fields.
I am creating the cross-tab through the Cross-Tab wizard. Is there maybe a bug in that? Is there a way to create it otherwise?

Import Manager and Display Fields

I've been using SRM-MDM 3.0 for a couple of months and 1 fundamental MDM design has always bothered me and I was hoping to get some resolve on this.
The purpose of Display Field is 2 folds:
1. Display the field in the Catalog Search UI for a lookup table: i.e. if both Supplier Name and ID are Display Fields, then in the Search UI, both fields are displayed to the end-user. If only Supplier ID was the display field, then in the UI only the ID is displayed.
- From a usability pov, tables such as Supplier and Product Group should have the name or description fields displayed in the Search UI as the numeric values are meaningless to the end-users.
2. Display field ALSO affect what is the key used to import data into a table. So if Supplier ID is the display field for Supplier table, then in Import Manager, the Supplier ID values are displayed and must be mapped to the source values.
- From an importing pov, mapping values should always be an index-like field, such as Supplier ID or Product Group ID, or ISO, and usually never the actual name or description field.
But SAP has tied the two together. So in order to display the name/description to the end-user, we must enable the name/description field as a Display Field. But we also want to map based on the index/ID field, so we also enable the index/ID field as a Display Field. Now in Import Manager, we have two Display Fields for a table (i.e. Supplier ID and Supplier Name for Supplier table) and I've noticed some issues with this:
1. You import file must have BOTH values (index/ID and the name/description fields) in the source, in order to Automap. If your source file only has 1 field, like in MECCM when extracting ECC contract, ONLY the Supplier ID, or Category ID is extracted, Automap is not possible. What is funny is that standard SAP extract program only extracts the ID fields, BUT the standard SAP repository has the name/description fields as the Display Field. Automap is a must for tables like Product Group where hundreds of lines can make manual mapping a pain.
2. I also noticed you cannot Add values to a table that has 2 Display Fields, you can only map to existing values. The Add button is grayed out.
With all that said, when you're replication ECC Contract Data using MECCM, for tables like Supplier and Product Group, what fields should be set as Display Fields, and if there are multiple Display Fields, what special setting needs to be done in Import Manager to enable automapping? Even standard SAP Import Map (_MDMContractDataTransmission_ProductID) throws errors when multiple fields are set as Display Fields.
I'm not familiar with the partitioning function, and I've seen PDF's about it, but don't really see how it could be helpful. I've also read someone suggesting changing the DF's before import, which I think is unacceptable, as this requires unloading/loading repositories everytime an import happens.
Thanks for reading my paragraph and any input is greatly appreciated.
Edited by: Derek Xu on Apr 30, 2009 6:50 PM

Hi Derek,
Thanks for writing your thoughts. I would like to provide some information on one of your points where in you have mentioned that :
You import file must have BOTH values (index/ID and the name/description fields) in the source, in order to Automap. If your source file only has 1 field, like in MECCM when extracting ECC contract, ONLY the Supplier ID, or Category ID is extracted, Automap is not possible.
I completely agree that if you have 2 fields in MDM repository and you are only importing only one of them, then you cannot use the Automap feature of Import Manager. So in your case, the description is not getting importing, so you cannot use Automap in that case.
I had a very similar requirement in one of my project and we went with creation of a Import Value template. We created a template with all the possible values for all the look up tables in that and mapped it once in the Map. Hence, next time, the Map was used to automatically Map the source and Destination values for all the look up tables.

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80ad0cff-19ef-2b10-54b7-d4c7eb4390dd
Please read the above article and hope its useful. You can go for this approach in your case if suitable.
I have mentioned examples of descriptions and their respective fields in the article.
Hope it helps.

Displayed changed data without refresh

Data with "," overflows to the next field when importing data with DTW

Dear all,
When I tried to import data with DTW, for the data that includes ",", the data after "," all jumps into the next field after import.
E.g. Column A(memo): bank, United state
       Column B(project code): blank
       Result in SBO: Memo field : bank
                              Project code: United state
I have tried 2 ways.
1. Save the file as csv, and adding double quote(") at the beginning and ending of the data. However, it didn't work. It didn't work with single quote as well.
2. Save the file as txt, without amending the data at all.
It worked, however, in SBO, double quote is auto added, it becomes "bank, United state".
Please kindly advise how to handle such case.
Thank you.

Julie

Address Book field names changing for "imported" data

I'm migrating from a thousand year old Palm Pilot that has served me so well to an iPhone. So it's time to get my contacts into OSX Address Book.
I have tried moving the data a couple of ways - exporting vCards and text files from the Palm Desktop software.
I did extensive editing of the text file in MS Excel to get the data into good order.
I have set up a template in the Address Book preferences to create fields that I want/need. Some are generic default field names, some have custom names. eg. I want to see a field called "Bus. Phone" not one called "work". Call me picky.
I get the same basic result no matter if I import the vCard file or a text file - The names of the fields just show up with very generic names in the imported data. I should note that creating a NEW record seems to use the field names that I have specified in the preferences.
Also, when importing the text file, Address Book asks me to assign the field names for certain fields (while it seems smart enough to know what labels to use for other fields all on it's own). However, the Field Names available in the drop down menu ARE NOT the ones that I have set up in the prefs. I seem limited to the generic default field names only.
Can anybody tell me how to get the field names to be what I want them to be for address data that is being imported like this?
Thanks for any suggestions - this has been driving me crazy as it would seem to me to be a pretty basic process. (I mean, the Address Book has this import functionality and custom field name functionality built in so it should work right?!)
Allen

No sooner do I ask than I notice that other people have asked the same question. In one of the reply's I saw mention of a product called "Abee".
I tracked it down and it did the job for me! Custom Field names live on!

Importing from external hard-drive without all the clutter

greetings...i need to import my saved iphoto library from my external hard-drive back to my new computer's iphoto library...how can i best do this without bringing along all the clutter (copies or originals i don't want)...i dropped my entire saved library into my computer's library but ended up with thousands of versions i do not want (i just want the versions i last had-complete with typed information or labeling)...certainly one doesnt' have to go through the whole imported library and delete all the copies and originals they no longer want (that would take a week!)
thanks,
here's what i see on my external hard-drive:
(what should i drag over?)
AlbumData.xml
Data (Folder)
Dir.data
iPhoto.ipspot
iPhotoLock.data
iPod Photo Cache (Folder)
Library.data
Library.iPhoto
Library6.iPhoto
Modified (Folder)
Originals (Folder)
Thumb32Segment.data
Thumb64Segment.data
ThumbJPGSegment.data

(what should i drag over?)
All of it, as a unit.
To restore an iPhoto Library drag the iPhoto Library Folder to the Pictures Folder and start iPhoto. There's no importing involved.
All of the "clutter" is necessary for running iPhoto. If you don't want it, use a different app.
It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss
