Import: Ignore blank records

Hi Team,
While automatic import, I am getting few blank records from the source system (All the fields are blank)
These records are getting imported in MDM.
Please suggest on how to ignore importing them.
Thanks,
Priti

Hi,
Incase you want to skip certain records from being imported you can in the Import Manager, Matching records right click on every individual record in the bottom source records pane and select skip record while allowing update all mapped fields for the other record.
In order to skip records having null values during the auto import you can set the null value handling to ignore.
Its important to note that multiple null entries can be there in a unique column in the MDM table as MDM treats it as a incomplete record.
If the file is being transfered via PI to MDM distribution folder you can have this check put in PI as well to remove these entries in the xml file that is being generated.

Aditya.

Blank records are showing as '0' in Analytical View

Hi,
     How to avoid blank records not to be shown as '0' in Analytical View? Can you please help me on this?
For your information: from the above image, there's no data for column 3 for Fiscal Period 005 - 012 but it's displaying as '0' rather than showing it as blank while I do a data preview of an analytical view.
Regards,
Antony Jerald.

Hi,
     The analytical view generated in Hana is based on Bex query imported from BW.
     Actually I'm calculating Year till date (YTD) Last Year(LY) Sales, TY(This year) Sales based on posting period.
     In Bex query for YTD Sales last financial year data its posting period would be from 1-12(ie., for the entire last year what's my sale).
      While doing calculation for YTD current year, since we are in posting period 4 which is july month(i.e,calculation would be from 1-4), rest of the month's would not have any data for YTD Current year. It's showing as blank in Bex query. But hana analytical view is displaying as '0' which ideally should come as blank.
     Kindly let me know how can we handle this.

Antony Jerald.

To Filter Blank Records In Bex

Hello,
We are developing a DashBoard On Bi Aging report. Data is matching with BI aging report, so no data issue.
In Bi Query we have used Suppress Zero Records but In Dashboard all material are passed i.e Suppress Zero records is not working while data fetch to DashBoard
For Eg: in Bi report with "Suppress Zero" records we have 500 records
and Bi report without "Suppress Zero" records we have 3000 records.
So It has decreased the performance of Dashboard as we need handle large numbers of records in Dashboard.
how can we filter blank record in Bi report?

Hi,
Either you want to hide single kfg which contains zero records or for all kfg's?
Have you checked data in RSRT after Suppress Zero Records ?
and one more thing suppress result rows applied in Bex won't work in dashboard clearly mentioned in below doc:
http://www.mastering-sap-and-businessobjects.com/sap-businessobjects-bi-4-service-pack-05-support-for-bex-query-elements…
Try with conditions in Bex query itself and check either expectyed data is coming or not as suggested by Yasemin.
if not in Dashboard itself try as below :

Save the file from Gmail onto your computer and add it to iTunes. How you save from Gmail is a Gmail question (their own support pages), not an iTunes question.

How to get blank records at the start of report output for label sheet?

Hello -
What is the best way to get an arbitrary # of blank records at the start of report output?
I am writing a report that will be printed out on label sheets -- some of which might already be used. For example, there might be 3 labels per page but the first 2 have been used the last time the report was run.. so the report needs to display 2 blank records first so that the first record that gets printed on a label is in the 3rd position on the page. (the user would indicate - through a parameter - what the starting postion would be)

Hi Scott
Create a user parameter that reads in the number of blanks you need to 'print' before starting the actual printing.
In the Format trigger of the outermost frame of your report write code using SRW.SET_BEFORE_PRINTING_CODE.
Loop this method based on the user parameter and call this method with skip-line-command of your printer as its argument.

Error while Importing Vendor Master records

I get the following error when importing vendor Master records into the MDM repositorry
Cannot import qualifiers because the qualified lookup field is not mapped.
I noticed that the file I'm importing contains 1000 vendors. However the qualified lookup table "PHONE" for the vendors contain only 388 records.
After I imported the records I found that there was only 389 records in the repository.
I'm using standard map provided by SAP.
I ran the import again but this time I unmapped all fields for the qualified update.
Now the Import Manager uploaded the remaining 613 records.
I would like to know whether how I can load 1000 records in one load rather than having to go through the file twice.
This is important since I want to use the import manager server for my loads.
Thanks
manoj

Hi Manoj,
Try the following options.
1. In the Import Manager, Select Configuration->Options
set <b>"Merge qualified links using matching qualifiers value to Off"</b>
2. In the Map Fields/Values tab in Import manager, select the qualified field in which you are trying to import, right clik on the field->select Set Qualified Update -> Update -> Select All available qualifiers into Matching qualifiers->
New Links- Create
Existing Links -> Update (All Mapped Qualifiers).
Hope this should solve your problem.
Thanks and Regards

Error while importing the user Records through SCC7

Hi Basis Gurus,
We are doing the post DB Refresh Activities for a Sandbox .
Refresh is done from D21 to S21.
We are stuckup with an error while importing the user Records(scc7).
The exported user records request from D21 is dumped in the trans directory of S38 and imported in to S21 using TP commands at O/S level. The import is done successfully( RC 4 with warnings).
But now when we run SCC7 (post import activities) in the background the process is getting cancelled right in the begining.
Error Occured in SCC3 log
Table logging disabled in program RSCLXCOP by user SAP*"
R/3 Version is 4.6C OS:AIX5.3
Your suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Hey Sitaram,
I looks like you have incorrect parameters of client copy in the S21 system.
You can change the parameters in S21 system,
by executing report RSCLXCOP (via transaction SE38 or SA38) in S21.

good luck!

Pie chart legend showing digit "1" when we set "ignore blank cells"property

All,
We have pie chart in Xcelsius 2008 that shows the data with legend value and we have also set the ignore blank cells property to ignore the blank value from column. but once we set this property, it displays the digit "1" in the legend when there is no data.
we are expecting that nothing should be displayed in pie chart legend when there is no data for the pie chart.
Thanks,
Sourabh

hi Sourabh,
I could replicate your scenario.
Workaround is to create a duplicate of this chart. Go to properties of this new chart.
Go to Appearance ->
Uncheck
- Legend
- Mouse-over values
- Data Labels
for this chart.
Write a logic in excel using 'IF' to verify if your data is empty.
Use 'Dynamic Visibility' feature to display this chart only when your data is empty.
Display your original chart if your data is not empty.

Import Manager - Match records clarification

Hi
In the Import Manager, Match records I would like to have two different fields as match criteria, where I want to gave OR condition betweeen them, how do I achieve the same.
quick response would be appreciated.
thanks & regards
Alexander

In the Import Manager under the tab "Match Records" all possible matching fields are listed in the "Mapped destination fields" box. With double click you can define them as matching fields, they show up then in the "Matching fields" box. An "OR" combination of fields exists, when each entry is displayed in a separate line, an "AND" combination of fields exists, when two entries are displayed in the same line. You can acchieve this by marking entries and pressing then the buttons "Combine" => two entries in one line or "SPlit" => each entry in one line.
After changing the entries, the matching is started again. In the matching results, you can see then, whether records have a 100% match (each of the selected fields) or a partial/conflict match. Partial and conflict matches mean, that at least one of the compared fields match.
This is described in detail in the Data Manager Guide.
Hope, this helps, Klaus

Import Manager Match Records question

Hi,
i have got your Problem, you could come to know if you try this
Create an Excel file as below
Category Type Attribute Value
PC Text A 10
PC Text B 11
Now during import this Taxonomy:
First Map your Source Category Field with your Target Name Field when Select Categories as Destination Table
So in MDM Data Manager: when select Categories as destination Table you will GET PC as Value there.
Noe 2nd step Select Categories( Attributes) as your Destination Table here Map Source Attribute and Type Fields with corresponding Target Destination fields.
If you skip this 2nd step and just go for Saelcting Categories(Text Values) as your Destination table , the problem you describe is come into picture.coz that attributes are not available into MDM data Manager.thats why even for Update All Update Options it is showing 0 Record.
Hope it will clear your doubt,
Rewards if useful.....

Import multiple info records for 1 material item in repository

Hi Guys,
I have got sort of a puzzle I can not solve at the moment, maybe some one can help me to solve it. The situation in our system landscape is as follows:
Systems:
SRM 5.0 (Classic implementation scenario)
ECC 6.0
SRM-MDM 2.0
PI 2005
Material master is maintained in R/3 and the materials are replicated to SRM. From SRM we replicate all materials to the catalog repository in SRM-MDM.
As the material master in R/3 is vendor independent, the materials replicated to SRM also have no vendor attached. For the first initial material replication from SRM to the catalog SRM-MDM this also means that the products in the main table of the repository, u2018catalog positionsu2019, will not have a vendor or vendor number attached (i.e. no reference to a source of supply).
To assign a source of supply in the repository to a product (record) we will use info records which are replicated from R/3 to SRM-MDM. The mapping for this in the Import Manager can only be based on the product number. As this is the only unique value available which can map a info record to a already existing (but vendor less) ptoduct item in the catalog.
As long as every item in the repository has only one unique info record, meaning one source of supply with a specific price, there is no issue in the above scenario. Based on the product-id, the info record data will be matched with the material item in the catalog.
The issue for me arises when multiple info records exists for the same material. The info records can heave different vendors and different prices. All possible vendors should be available in the catalog for the same material (at least this is the requirement ).
At this point the product-id will no longer be an unique value. Importing the info records will cause problems, as only one material record is available in the repository for the specific product-id (remember that when doing a initial replication of the material master to the catalog, no vendor data is replicated).
Does anyone had this issue before, and knows a solution? Is it for example possible during the import of the info records in the Import manager, to duplicate material records in the destination data, based on the number of info records available in the source data for the same product-id. Or is there an other solution that I am missing?
Your help would be appreciated!
Regards,
Skander

Hi Shai & Ravi,
Thanks for your answers. The MDM version which we are using is 5.5 - currently on SP6
@ Shai: you are right; the standard SRM-MDM 2.0 catalog repository has a qualified lookup table u2018priceu2019, in which itu2019s possible to store the info record data. The standard fields in this sub-table are: Purchase Org, Amount, Currency Lower B, PIR-ID, price based quantity and Price based quantity UoM.
I added some extra fields (non qualified), to accompany the remaining info record data (product no. u2013 vendor id u2013 product category) which is exported/imported, via the standard extraction program in R/3: Tcode MECCM
I tried the solution Ravi proposed. This scenario works fine when, for example you want to maintain multiple info records for one specific material record in the main table (all info records related to the same source of supply, i.e. vendor). But as I described, the info records we import for one product can have different vendors.
The source of supply (vendor) in the shopping cart of SRM is determined via the u2018supplieru2019 field in the main repository table (which is in itself a flat lookup table ). What happens now is that all related info records are added to the u2018price informationu2019 field of the specific product record in the main table. Thus info records which have different suppliers are attached to a record in the main table which will have one specific supplier in the u2018supplieru2019 field. So from my point of view this will not work.
I am still stuck with the situation that the material master import will only import one record for every distinct product, which can have multiple info records. The info records can/will have different vendors. As the supplier field in the main table determines the source of supply in the shopping cartu2026. Iu2019am seeking for a solution which will duplicate the material records in the main table, based on the amount of imported info records for that specific material record, that have distinct vendors.
Shai, if you have some useful info on how you accomplished this requirement on a previous version of SRM-MDM, it would be greatly appreciated if you can share it..
Thx.

Blank Record Appearing in Power Pivot, How do I ensure that my Power Query script is filtering out all the Blank Records

Hi,
I noticed once of my Fact tables in my Power Pivot model contains a blank record. I can't understand why.
So I added a Filter expression to the underlying Power Query query, something like; -
Text.Length("MyField") > 0
However after refreshing the Power Query query which contains the above expression the blank record still appears within my Power Pivot table.
Kind Regards,
Kieran.
Kieran Patrick Wood http://www.innovativebusinessintelligence.com http://uk.linkedin.com/in/kieranpatrickwood http://kieranwood.wordpress.com/

hi..
As my understand, the blank record in Power Query will be return null value . So that, You try to use Text.Length("MyField" ) <> null.
