Import Manager - Exception Handling

Hi All,
While importing the records using MDIS, some files are not getting imported and go to the "Structural Exceptions".
In order to find out the exceptions, i tried to login into Import manager using the following:
Type : Port
Remote System : MDC R/3 & ERP
Port : DEBMDM06R3_ERP_In [Exeption]
Once I click on Finish button, i get a dialogue box saying "Logon error : Could not retreive source file for the port DEBMDM06R3_ERP_In".
Please suggest what should be done when i get such errors.
Thanks and Regards,
Sravan

Hi Sravan,
To know the reason for exceptions, check the Exception and Log folders over the path
<MDM Installable Directory>\Server\Distributions\<Servername_databasetype>\<Repository>\Inbound\<Remote System>\<Port Code>\
Since MDIS has already executed the import, your input file might have moved into other folders depending on the import status hence there would not be any file in Ready folder beacuse of file you are not able to open the Import Manager.

Maximum Number Of Records Import Manager can handle.

Hi Guys,
I want to know the maximum number of records Import Manager can import / handle at a time.
Thanks in advance .
Best Regards,
Ramchandra Kalkar.

Amol,
The reference guide lists the limit at 50,000 records.
My experience is that this is not necessarily the case. To me it seems as though the maximum import depends somewhat on the number of fields you are trying to import. Meaning you can probably import 50,000 records if the file only contains two columns/fields, but if the file contains many columns/fields you probably will encounter difficulty trying to import 50,000 records at a time.

Java Exception Handling

Hello everyone,
I'm searching for a design pattern / framework to manage exception handling. I'm currently working on a distributed document management system for PC / AS/400, which consists of Commandline clients, a Socket Server and a windows NT daemon in java, which accepts network requests from the Socket Server. Communication is done via serialized Objects.
My Problem is, that exceptions can be thrown either on the server or on the client side and have to be transferred to the user. Error Messages should be read from the database. Exception handling should prefferably take place in a central piece of code, such as the two endpoints of network connections, the SocketServer as service under win32 and another SocketServer as Application on another box, currently with UNIX OS.
thanks in advance for any answers
regards

You should look into Bridge [GOF:151] and Memento [GOF:273].
Bridge allows you to decouple your mechanism from the implementation memento on how to propergate the decoupled exception information.

[ADF Swing] Manage exceptions

Hi all!
I want to manage exceptions handling in a Swing ADF application. In my Application Module, I have a method that adds data in the DB (by creating a new row in the corresponding VO, etc). This method is called by an object whish is in the application view project. When a constraint violation occures, I'd like that Application Module method catch the JboException and throw it to the calling Java object. The traditionnal way to throw exception doens't work:
public void addMethod(params) throws CustomException
try
catch(JboException e)
throw new CustomException(e.getMessage());
So I create my own mechanism with event and listener, but I suppose that a common way should exists.
Could somebody help me?

Extend BizTalk ESB Exception Handling to manage exception for all organization wide application exception

Hello,
Can we Extend BizTalk ESB Exception Handling to manage exception for all organization wide application ( both biztalk and external) exception ?
Is it something a good option or there are better approach to do this.
Business requirement is Exception management should be single window for complete end-to end application ( source-Biztalk - destination)
Tarun
Tarun

Hi Tarun,
ESB Toolkit framework for exception handling is not complete OOTB. it is intended as a framework and set of patterns that can and should
be extended based on the customer’s needs.
One way of extending the capabilities is by using Standardized Exception Management or SEM in short.
SEM solution extends the capabilities of the Microsoft ESB Exception Management Framework and follows a design pattern that provides a flexible
approach to exception monitoring and enables error responses to originate from outside of the solution. While SEM is primarily targeted to Microsoft BizTalk Server applications, it can also be leveraged by other applications that are able to call a Windows
Communications Foundation (WCF) or web service.

Import failed. Unhandled Exception in Import Manager

I'm just starting with MDM (5.5 SP1) and have created my first Import but keep getting an "Import failed. Unhandled Exception. RC: 0x82030100" when I Execute Import. I'm not sure where to look to determine the cause. Any suggstions?

Hi Russell,
On your C drive, under Program Files>SAP MDME 5.5>Import Manager is the first place to start- Import manager log is an XML document created, and shows the steps import manager went through before it failed. It could give some ideas about the cause. Other than that, I have seen that not setting key mapping accurately can cause this exception.
Good luck!

Retreive Next Source File in MDM Import Manager

Hi all,
I am curious about the above feature in the MDM Import Manager. It can be found under File menu but I found that it is always greyed out even if I have selected multiple files. When I select multiple files, the system is clever enough to take all the records in the file so it doesn't seem to be used to move from one file to another. I couldn't find any information on the Import Manager guide so am trying this forum. Note that I have also searched on the forum before posting.
Appreciate if anyone can share their insight into this feature.
Cheers!
SF

Hi SF,
Yes I too did not come accross any document about this.
However,I guess this is something which helps you in exception handling.
When you handle exception of a port and there are multiple files,then you need "connect to source" again and again.
It takes you to next exception file.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Ravi

Import Manager - Problem with 0..n field in Import Manager

Iu2019m having problems with XMLs that contain multiple or single tags in MDIS process. For example: I did the map using a XML with multiple tags for Address:
<address>
<item>
u2026
</item>
<item>
u2026
</item>
</address>
When I send two address or more Address, the Import Server work fine, but when I send only one Address, the address is not imported.
<address>
<item>
</item>
<item>
</item>
</address>
Opening the xml file with only one Address in Import Manager, I saw that the fields isnu2019t mapped, but when I open a xml file with multiple Address itu2019s open correctly.
The XSD cardinality for the Address\Item is 0..n

Hi Evandro ,
If it is processing the input file correctly through the Manul Import manager process then update your latest Map by using SAVE As option or else save this correct map with a new name altogether and use this new map in the port for automatic importing.
If your file is able to process correctly through the Import manager without showing any errors till the Import step in the Import manager then this map must be correct and shoul automate the importing correctly.
Provided you are using the similar file for automatic importing as well.The file name and the fields as well as the value mapping as saved in this corrected map must not differ with the input file else this saved map will not be able to import correctly.
Check to see if you have made correct setting for automatic importing by refering the below link:

BPM Exception Handling

I am trying to test my Deadline and Exception handling.But it is not at all working. I will explain what I have done, please guide me where I am going wrong.
1) Block Step. Properties --- Exception == ERROR1
2)Switch Step . Success Branch . Send Step. with a Transport Response. And I am sending to the Mail adapter. And in directory I have provided the WRONG URL FOR THIS Mail.
      Otherwsie Branch. Send step, sending to a File.
3)Dead Lock Branch : Having a Control Step.
              Properties
               Action : Throw Exception
               Exception: ERROR1
4) Exception Branch.
           Properties
                Exception Handler : ERROR1
      Send Step : Send a Message to a File (
Result
I am Seeing a Clock in my SXMB_MONI OUTBOUND_Status column, because I am expecting a TRANSPOT Response, and this going to never happen, so I thought the Deadline monitor will wakeup after 1 minute interval and my Exception branch has to Trigger, but it has never triggered my Deadline branch aswell as my Exception Branch.
WE are in XI SP 12. We dont have CCMS installed yet, even ALERT management is not installed.
Please guide me.
Thanks.

Hi Anand,
I looked into the Transaction SWI2_DEAD and I dont see any listings there.
I am executing 1 Minute deadline Monitoring and from here firing an exception Branch, for my Asynchronous Scenario.
So definitely after a minute , the DeadLine Branch should have been fired. But it didnot take place.
In the mean time I have located an OSS notes OSS note 829921 And I am awaiting my Basis team to apply this note.
symptom
If the execution of an asynchronous method ends with a "system error" or "application error", the work item is not set to the 'ERROR' status.
Other terms
Reason and Prerequisites
This problem is caused by a program error.
Solution
Implement the correction instructions.
Note the following manual changes that must be implemented BEFORE you use SNOTE to implement the corrections:
1. Make sure that the SET_EXECUTION_INTERRUPTED method of the CL_SWF_RUN_RESULT class has the following parameters:
a) IM_CODE, Importing, Optional, Type SWO_RETURN, default Value 0000
b) IM_ERRORTYPE, Importing, Optional, Type SWO_ERRTYP, Default Value 0
Note the following manual changes, which you must carry out AFTER you have implemented the corrections:
1. The M_EXECUTION_INTERRUPTED attribute type of the CL_SWF_RUN_RESULT class must be changed to EXECUTION_INTERRUPTED.

Import u2013 MDIS handling Question

This is for auto import and I have two fields and both are lookup fields.
FIELD A - Lookup field
FIELD B - Lookup field
Requirements
FIELD A, I have a new lookup field value in the import file and I want to add this new field value to the lookup table then map and import the file.
FIELD B, I have a new lookup field value in the import file but I want to set this as ERROR and donu2019t import this record.
How do we handle these two fields differently?
The Import manager configuration section of the default MDIS handling, unmapped value handling, I have IGNORE, ADD & FAIL. I can select one of the option and continue.
But how to handle this based on individual fields has individual requirements?
My another question is:-
My import file has 100 records. Import Manager configuration option, Default MDIS handling -> Unmapped value handling = Fail.
Out of the 100 records, only one record has the error so that record will not be loaded and remaining 99 records will be loaded.
But the exception folder, the file has all the records (100 records) if I am not mistaken. So it is pretty difficult to identify which record has error. Again if the input file has more records then it is more difficult.
Is there a way we can identify only records that are in error instead of looking the whole file in the exception folder?

Hi,
The Import manager configuration section of the default MDIS handling, unmapped value handling which you set, by default is applicable to all of the look up fields.
But if you want to handle it individually for two fields, you can.
In Map Fields/Values Tab Say Source Field A map with Target Destination field TrgA, Right click on TrgA Set Unmapped Value handling as Add.
IIy, you can set for Field B as per your requirement as Add, Ignore, Fail etc. As i see select here Fail.
For Second Question you asked,
Is there a way we can identify only records that are in error instead of looking the whole file in the exception folder
Whenever you get file into exception folder, Go to Import Manager, Select Type as Port, Remote system as per your requirement, Port as Filename(Exception) select and Finish it. Once your Import Manager opens, Go to Import Status Tab check Action Items for take the desired action to import that file. In this way you will come to know what are the fields and values which need to be mapped. Once it maps you can import this file in one shot and data will be populated into MDM.

Differ between import manager and import server

Hi to all,
Can any one explain difference between import server and import manager and how the data will be imported to the same.
Regards
MM

Hi reddy,
Can any one explain difference between import server and import manager and how the data will be imported to the same
Please follow the text below, which has been taken from the help.sap.com
Both MDIS and the MDM Import Manager can import data from a source file into an MDM repository. However, each has unique capabilities that distinguish it from the other. When each is used to its advantage, the result is an import strategy which provides the most efficient importing of data possible.
The strength of the Import Manager is its connection to the source data, which enables its interactive map-making capabilities. When the Import Manager connects to a source it preloads the entire source file, giving it knowledge of every field and every value in the source data. This u201Ctotal awarenessu201D is crucial for preparing a complete import map. To help ensure a map is complete, the Import Manageru2019s Import Status tab alerts users to any discrepancies between source data values and the current map. The user can fix these problems interactively within the Import Manager and save the corrected map before any data is imported.
Preloading an entire source file comes at a price, however. It consumes memory on the computer running the Import Manager and very large source files may exhaust the computeru2019s available memory.
By contrast, MDISu2019s strengths are its scalability and automation.
For scalability, instead of preloading the entire source file into the host machineu2019s memory as the Import Manager does, MDIS processes records in a stream by loading a record at a time into memory.
This streaming technique enables MDIS to process much larger source files than the Import Manager, as the demand for memory on the host machine is not affected by the size of the import file.
In addition to file size, file quantity poses a second scalability challenge. For example, a real-time transactional environment may produce a staggering number of files, each containing only one or two records. To import these files individually through Import Manager would be extremely inefficient. MDIS tackles this problem with a file aggregation feature that processes files systematically in batches rather than as individual files, resulting in faster, more efficient import of data.
As it relates to automation, MDIS requires no user intervention to import files to an MDM repository. Instead, it relies on maps created previously within the Import Manager. Once an import file is placed in the appropriate folder, its data is imported automatically into the MDM repository using the rules of the pre-defined import map. Once a file is processed, MDIS scans the repository for the next file to import. This process continues 24 hours a day, seven days a week, until either MDIS or MDM Server are stopped.
The trade-off for this scalability and automation is that if discrepancies between the source data and the import map arise, MDIS cannot u201Cfixu201D these problems by itself. Instead, the u201Cproblem casesu201D can be fixed manually at a later time using the interactive capabilities of the Import Manager. Unlike the Import Manager, however, MDIS can set aside problem records or files and continue importing.
These conceptual and operational differences between the Import Manager and MDIS are summarized in the table below.

Not able to Populate Qualified Table in Import Manager

Hi,
I am performing following steps for populating Bank Detail Qualified table in MDM from R3 but not able to populate the data.
1.Populating all lookup tables like Account_no,Bank-Key.......
2.Mapping all fields in Bank detail table except the 'Collect Auth'
field which is Qualifier
3.In Customer table(Main) mapping Collect auth to Bank Detail field and
customer_no to its corresponding ID.
It is not populating the Bank detail data which are available in lookup tables
Appreciate your suggestion
-regards,
reo

Reo
Matching will be based on the Display field (at least one) of the Main table. This is for example the Customer Number.
You also need to map all the display fields of the qualified lookup table. Then you can set the Qualified Update Action by right clicking on the field in the main that is linked to the qualified lookup.(the Collection_Authorization I think). Set the option that well update/append/replace the qualified data fields of the looked table.
There is two how_to_guides that will help. You can download from SAP Service Market Place. (Otherwise I can email to you)

Exception Handling in bounded taskflows - expected behaviour

Hi,
I'm currently reviewing exception handling in bounded task flows and some things does not seems to be very clear for me.
(q1) Does it make sense that a bounded task flow calls a method (via a method activity) defined on the page definition of another page (outside of the BTF) by using a #{data.xxxmyPageDef.myMethodName.execute} EL expression?
(q2) Is is correct to expect the application to execute the method marked as ExceptionHandler in the taskflow, whenever an exception occurs?
(q3) I created 5 different scenarios where I call a service method which throws an exception, from within a page fragment of the BTF.
(q3 – sc1) Call a service method through the binding layer of the current page (by using #{bindings.xxx.execute})
Result: A dialog containing the exception message appears.
This is what I expected. Althought, the exception handler method does not seems to be invoked.(q3 – sc2) Call a service method through a task flow method activity using #{bindings.xxx.execute}
Result: A dialog containing the exception message appears.
This is what I expected. Althought, the exception handler method does not seems to be invoked.(q3 – sc3) Call a service method through a task flow method activity using #{data.myPageFragementPagedef.xxx.execute} (accessing the pageDef of the page fragment)
Result: Nothing happens.
This is not what I expected. Although, the exception handler method does nog seems to be invoked, I expect the ADF Error Handler to create a FacesMessage.(q3 – sc4) Call a service method through a task flow method activity using #{data.myPageContainingThePageFragmentPageDef.xxx.execute} (accessing the page containing the BTF region)
Result: Nothing happens.
This is not what I expected. Although, the exception handler method does nog seems to be invoked, I expect the ADF Error Handler to create a FacesMessage. (q3 – sc5) Call a service method through a task flow method activity using #{data.aPageOutsideTheBTFPageDef.xxx.execute} (accessing a page outside the BTW)
Result: Nothing happens.
This is not what I expected. Although, the exception handler method does nog seems to be invoked, I expect the ADF Error Handler to create a FacesMessage. (q4) How can it be possible that – without an exception handler – exceptions occur when calling method activities, without the exceptions being translated to FacesMessages?
Thanks in advance,

Koen,
+(q1) Does it make sense that a bounded task flow calls a method (via a method activity) defined on the page definition of another page (outside of the BTF) by using a #{data.xxxmyPageDef.myMethodName.execute} EL expression?+
No. Exceptions should be handled locally.
+(q2) Is is correct to expect the application to execute the method marked as ExceptionHandler in the taskflow, whenever an exception occurs?+
Only for exceptions that are before Render Response. The Render Response Phase is not handled in ADFc. So exceptions that occur in managed beans may fall through
+(q3) I created 5 different scenarios where I call a service method which throws an exception, from within a page fragment of the BTF.+
+(q3 – sc1) Call a service method through the binding layer of the current page (by using #{bindings.xxx.execute}) Result: A dialog containing the exception message appears.+
This is what I expected. Althought, the exception handler method does not seems to be invoked.
The binding layer has an error handler you can override in the DataBinings.cpx file
+(q3 – sc2) Call a service method through a task flow method activity using #{bindings.xxx.execute}+
Result: A dialog containing the exception message appears.
This is what I expected. Althought, the exception handler method does not seems to be invoked.
Again, you use the binding layer to invoke the service
+(q3 – sc3) Call a service method through a task flow method activity using #{data.myPageFragementPagedef.xxx.execute} (accessing the pageDef of the page fragment)+
Result: Nothing happens.
This is not what I expected. Although, the exception handler method does nog seems to be invoked, I expect the ADF Error Handler to create a FacesMessage.
Never use such a call. Its bad practice as there is no guarantee the container you reference is active. Always have the method call activity have its own binding defined when accessing a method call activity. I know there are lots of example floating aroundthat you #{data ...} and many are from 10.1.3. This should be avoided alltogether though
+(q3 – sc4) Call a service method through a task flow method activity using #{data.myPageContainingThePageFragmentPageDef.xxx.execute} (accessing the page containing the BTF region)+
Result: Nothing happens.
This is not what I expected. Although, the exception handler method does not seems to be invoked, I expect the ADF Error Handler to create a FacesMessage.
Again, this is not a proper use of the ADF framework.
+(q3 – sc5) Call a service method through a task flow method activity using #{data.aPageOutsideTheBTFPageDef.xxx.execute} (accessing a page outside the BTW)+
Result: Nothing happens. This is not what I expected. Although, the exception handler method does nog seems to be invoked, I expect the ADF Error Handler to create a FacesMessage.
accessing a page outside the BTW (!!!) This should ring a worst practices alarm on your laptop (obviously doesn't do it either)
+(q4) How can it be possible that – without an exception handler – exceptions occur when calling method activities, without the exceptions being translated to FacesMessages?+
Exceptions are not handled in a single place but stacked. The business service raises an exception and passes it to the binding layer if not handled. The binding layer handles the exception and if it can't passes it to ADFc. ADFc can handle this exception if it is not during Render Response.
Bottom line: There is no single point of exception handling. So as a recommendation for best practices
- Catch and handle exceptions as close as possible to their origins
- If things can go wrong, thy will - use try/catch blocks in managed beans
- Use an exception handling activity in all bounded task flows. In the case of task flow call activities being used exceptions can bubble up to the caller. However, this would take users out of their current application context
- Exceptions not handled in ADFc can be intercepted by overriding the application task flow exception handler (used by the exception handler activities). This would give you a chance e.g. to handle issues during Render Response
- Never fight the framework, never bend the framework: Don't use out of scope access to page definitions and resources. Exception handling is not a replacement for bad code practices (sorry for saying this, its not meant to be rude) :-)
Though I don't have a qualified numbers of bugs open for exception handling in ADF between 11.1.1.4 and now (and some that are open), but there are issues reported in this area. If there is something that really feels wrong, please go ahead and file a bug and provide a test case for development to have a look. The Render Response issue, for example is something we are aware of and that is in discussion (afaik knows, there is a change in exception handling in JSF 2 that may have an impact to what we can do in ADFc).
thanks
Frank

Exception handling best practice

whats the best practice for exception handling on ?
- BC
-controller
-view layer (Managed beans)
do we have to handle commit operations on BC so we can rollback like this code
public void save()
// create/update/delete ROW
try
this.getTransaction().commit();
catch(JboException e ){this.getTransaction().rollBack();}
thanks
Edited by: user3674912 on 23/05/2011 05:18 ص

Hi,
IMO, best practices is to handle exceptions as close to their origin. If you can't handle it, you re-throw it as you would in Java so another handler gives it a try

Exception Handling in OWB Urgent!!!

Hi,
I want to do error handling in OWB Mapping, how to achivw the same as there is no exception handling OPERATOR provided by OWB. Please let me know its URGET...
Not: OWB version is 10g R1.

Hi,
Jeane has answered your query. Such vague questions dont have any specific answer. Identify your rules that should raise an exception. On satisfying such conditions, route this record to the error table instead of the target table. your exception is raised and it also has been handled as you have managed to load into a error table upon which you can report.
