Import map file

Hi Experts,
I can see that form MDM Console the Ports table under Admin node has field with type "Inbound" and the name of the import map.
Could anybody tell how to get this Import map file from the repository if my remote system is set up "Inbound/outbound" as MDM ?
Thanks for your help
Kind regards,
Wei Dona

Hi,
In order to connect and to save map files please following the following steps:
If you are using text file then follow the steps as
1.Open Import manager.Select repository.enter username &password
2.Select Type as Delimited text/Excel/Access and so on.
3.Enter the source file .
4)Enter the delimiter if Delimited text (eg:space,:,; etc)
5.Select the source and destination table.
6.Map the corresponding source and destination fields.
7.Then go to match records tab select the field as per which the records will b imported.
8.Go to File-Save.Enter the map name.
9.Execute the import.
Next time you want to edit the map or execute the same goto file-Open-map name.
Hope this give some information.
Cheers
Santosh.

Created "Hierarchy Field" not saved in Import Mapping File

Hello experts,
I want to save the mapping created after having imported categories via MDM Import Manager.
Everything works fine as I execute an initial import (In "Map Field" tab, I create a "hierarchy field" based on the three fields "Categorie Name, Categorie Name 2, Category Parent" and mapp the Split Hierarchy field consequently ).
My problem is as I save the Mapping and try to reuse it for a new Categories import, the former "hierarchy field" does not appear anymore. I assume Saving Mapping does not save created hierarchy fields...
Can anyone help me on this?
Thanks in Advance
Stephane Naigeon

From XML, with fields "Category Name, Category Parent".
Then in MDM Map Tab, I clone the Field "Category Name" and create the Hierarchy Field with name "Categories", parent field "Category Parent", Child Field "Category Name", and Node name field "Category Name Clone".
Then I map the Split Hierarchy field with the destination field "Category Name [DF]", and the source field "Category Name" with the Remote Key.
The matching field in Match Record Tab is "Category Name [DF]".
I save then the mapping file but am not able to reuse it : as I said, the Hierarchy field disappears !

Importing Map Files into a Project

Hello,
The programmers at my job create map files, and when map
files are sent to me, they're sent in a format that includes hex
values (e.g.: 0x1177E). I've noticed map files that were imported
in other help projects have this format:
#define ID_Size 1001
Out of curiousity, do map files have to be in the above
format before importing them into a help project, or can RoboHelp
perform a conversion to the above format once map files are
imported?
Since I receive map files from programmers, do they need to
convert the map files to the above format before sending them to
me?
I found something in the Knowledge Base Guided Search on
this, but I want to know if anyone knows of a new process that may
be in the latest version (X5) of RoboHelp.
Thanks,
Felicia

Hi John,
Thanks for your response. These are a few map IDs/map numbers
and how they appear in one of the map files given to me by a
programmer:
HID_SELECTION 0x10005
HID_SNAPS_CANCEL 0x10006
HID_TOOLBARS_PRINT 0x10007
HID_T_FITTING_MANIFOLD 0x11AB2
I wonder, according to what's stated in the Help for
RoboHelp, if the map ID should appear like this before I import the
map file into a project:
#define HID_SELECTION 0x10005
or:
#define HID_SELECTION 65541
Does the "#define" have to be in front of the map ID and map
number before the import takes place?

Import Map file failes with single/Multiple Occurance

Hi All,
Using a file I mapped the source and target structures.. The source file has one multiple occurance node . so I used look up option in source table and mapped with target fields...saved the map..
When I used the following XML file .. I used the same map created befoe... I see the Remote System fields are not failed to map to target structure.. How can I get rid of this issue....

Do I need to create a seperate map for multiple iteration and single occurance..OR missing some thing? Please advice..

HI Ravi,
May be I took the wrong example..
I am not talking about remote systems... I am talking about XML source file.. If the XML source file consist of single occurance of any qualifier table then those qualifier table fields are not mapping.. IF I used the base file as multiple occurance Qualifier table....
In the same way if I use base file as single occurance of Qualifer table .. Qualifier Fields are not getting mapped if the source file is single occurance..
Suppose :If I use the base file as this and save the map.. I am able to import files whcih are single occurance of EMAIL...
Fields are not getting mapped if the EMAIL occurnace is multiple.....

Imported a .h map file, no Map IDs show

Background: RoboHelp 10 project, linked to a FrameMaker 11 book, HTML Help output. No errors or missing resources on update of Fm book.
After linking the project to a Fm book with TopicAlias markers selected for CSH, I imported a .h map file used by the developers and did a Force Update All. The imported map file shows up under the Map Files node in the Project Set-up pod. But when I double-click it, nothing displays in the Map IDs panel on the left side of the Edit Map IDs dialog box.
I thought 1) specifying TopicAlias markers for CSH during link setup, and 2) importing the developers' .h file would map the IDs to the topics.
Am I doing something wrong in the linking or .h import steps? I really don't want to have to manually edit the topic IDs in BSSCDefault.h--there are hundreds of them.

Umm, if you’re using the markers from your FM files to set the mapping, why are you getting something from the developers? In your workflow I would expect you to be sending them your .h file, not the other way round ;>)

How do I import Map Info Tab files into Spatial for a map of europe?

How do I import Map Info Tab files into Spatial for a map of europe via FME and have oracle spatial draw the map without problems?
So far I've got to the stage where I can import the data, spatially index it (in oracle 9i) and get my SVG (scaleable vector graphics) application to view the map.
The problem is that countries that have more than one polygon (more than one row in the database) do not draw properly.
When I view the Map Info tab file in the FME viewer I can see that the data is fine, but I can also see that some of the polygons used to draw a country are donugts and some aren't.
This seems to cause a problem when I import the data into oracle spatial as I don't know if a row in the table needs to be inserted as an independent SDO_GEOMETRY or if it should form part of a larger SDO_GEOMETRY (as in 2 or more rows make up the polygon shape for a country).
I have a feeling that I'm not using FME correctly, because at the moment I have to import the tab file into Oracle then re-insert the data into a spatially formatted table (one with a spatial index) - I get the impression that FME should do that for me but as I'm new to this I don't really know.
Any Help welcome :|
Tim

Tim,
MapInfo has a free utility called EasyLoader that allows you to upload a table directly to Oracle. EasyLoader creates the geometries and spatial index. You can download it free from http://www.mapinfo.com/products/download.cfm?ProductID=1044

Is it ok to make changes to import map by loading files from port manually?

Hi all,
I want to load the files from the port which is set to manual and then want to create/modify existing maps already assigned to ports.Is it ok to do this way or do we need to create the import maps with all mappings manually other than port option?
Thanks

Hi Arvind,
You can load the map through port & do changes whatever you want. You can see the map name
on the header. After making changes if you want the old map also then you need to save it in a different name.

Importing mapping tables via txt-file

Hi
Is it possible to import mapping tables for some dimensions using txt- or csv-file instead of excel-template?

Yes.
There is a format called "Ledger Link" which is dirt simple. It is a CSV file that has Source, Target, and Description. If you have a sign flip, you put a - in front of the Target. If instead of explicit map, it is a like, Source is the rule.
For example......
110011,3rdPartySales,Third Party Sales
110021,-ICSales,Intercompany Sales
11003?,ServiceRevenue,Service Revenue for Accounts starting with 11003 with a length of 6 characters

How to Import XML file into SAP B1

Dear All,
I have a scenario like,
I am receiving a XML file from a 3rd party application for the daily Creation,Update of Item Master,BP Master, Marketing Documents. I want to import this file into SAP B1 through its approp objects. I understand DTW has limitation in its file types (Semicolo,Tab,Comma,ODBC). How do i do this ? Please guide me.

Hy folks,
I´m frim Brasil and I've been studying the tool EFM (Eletronic File Manager) to learn more about it!
There I saw that we can extract to XML "any" infomation from the database we want, mainly through the GEP.
However, as I've seen, this Add-On can not import any XML file into SBO, unless for the BFP wich can be imported in conjunction with the BTHF Add-on.
So I ask: how is it possible to import XML data into SBO database? Is it possible to be done through the EFM? or it´s really necessary to write a code specifically to do that?
Besides, I know that de B1iSN fit to this necessity... but when I tried to use it, by the custom "object" for BP, for example, there are some data wich the mapping conteined in this custom "process" that can not be imported... I tried to understand how to map those other fields not imported by the custom but this has been dificult to me as I am a implementation consultant focused in administrative process not on development...
Could you please help me with this subject!
Thanks a lot,
Denis

Hi Dave, Peter,
thanks for your reply. In that case i will check WordRTFImportPreference but not sure if customize style import can be done for paragraph style sheets.
for example: word has "normal" and "head1" style but i want to map to indesign Body_light and H1 styles respectively.

How to add a new mapping file

I am using SSIS (SQL Server 2008) to replicate from an ODBC source (using .NET Framework Data Provider for ODBC) to SQL Server.
I am using the Import/Export Wizard and encountering the problem described in KB 152728:
SSIS 2008 Import Export Wizard can show numbers instead of data type
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2152728
I am trying to add a new mapping file in C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\MappingFiles, but it appears that the new mapping file is not being noticed by the wizard - the dialog box of the wizard (COnvert Types without Conversion Checking) still
displays
Source Information:
Cannot locate the mapping file to map the provider types to SSIS types
I tried creating a new mapping file by copying an existing one (DB2ToMSSql10.XML), renaming it ODBCToMSSql10.XML (as near as I can tell, the filename doesn't matter), and changing the SourceType line:
SourceType="System.Data.Odbc.OdbcConnection"
Is there anything else I need to do? I was expecting I might find a file that SSIS uses to figure out which mapping file to use, but I was unsuccessful, so I think it looks at the SourceType line.
The following is the full output of the dialog - perhaps I should be modifying DTS\binn\DtwTypeConversion.xml instead? But that seems messier than creating a new file in DTS\MappingFiles:
[Source Information]
Cannot locate the mapping file to map the provider types to SSIS types
[Destination Information]
Destination Location : (local)
Destination Provider : SQLNCLI10
Mapping file (to SSIS type): c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\MappingFiles\MSSQLToSSIS10.XML
[Conversion Table]
SSIS conversion file: c:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\100\DTS\binn\DtwTypeConversion.xml

Hi, did you ever get a solution to this issue? I'm having a similar challenge trying to create a new mapping file which is not being detected by the import wizard.
Please let me know.

Automatic merging of map files in RoboHelp?

[Hope this isn't a double post; my first attempt ended in
network error and forum doesn't seem to have that post]
My group is charged with developing a help system using
RoboHelp 7. Output type will be WebHelp. The interface between
context-sensitive Help system and the target application will be a
single project's output and a single map file. The plan for help
development is to divide the work up into multiple layers of
projects. The final output will be the result of multiple project
merges from the bottom layer up.
RH7 enables this methodology with the WebHelp merge
module...except that it doesn't automatically merge sub projects'
map ID files (individual BSSCDefaults.h) into the master project's
map ID file BSSCDefaults.h. I can use a different name for the sub
projects' map files and import them into the master project, but
this still does not result in the master's map file being modified.
The map IDs remain dispersed across the multiple map files within
the master project.
Is there a way to get an automatic concatenation of map ID
files?

Thanks for the suggestion. I was hoping that the answer would
be other than that it's a manual procedure outside of RH7, but
that's the conclusion given my previous [admittedly brief]
searching within this site and thinking more about the RH paradigm
(as explained in the Grainge article as well as the other Adobe
articles).
For now, I'm going to have the team use the following process
while we're shaking out our development methodology:
- each author follows the established naming convention for
Topic IDs and use his/her assigned map number range when creating
map IDs which should guarantee that the IDs are unique across all
projects
- each author will export his/her projects' map file (for
java applications) to a subfolder within their project
- rename the resultant BSSCDefaults.properties file to a
globally unique filename
- copy that project-unique properties file to the specified
folder
- one person/admin will concatenate the individual properties
files into a single file to be used by the application developers

How to upgrade mapping files of TOPLink 2.5.1 to the latest?

We are planning to update our TOPLink 2.5.1 to the latest,but we don't know whether Oracle has some tools or new features in TOPLink 9.0.3 that directly migrate the mapping files of TOPLink 2.5.1 to the TOPLink 9.0.3?
Thanks very much!

Hi, Mr Smith
I have same problem as Mr. Tai .
I want to contact you with email, but the mail box [email protected] or [email protected] are invalid with my outlook report.
So below is my email contents, and my mail address is [email protected] .
Mr Smith:
I met some confusions in upgrading our system from TOPLINK2.5.1 to TOPLINK Release 2(Oracle9.0.3).
And because I didn't use TOPLINK tools before this project, I spent one week to know the structure of our system. Unfortunately, Our company isn't a supported Oracle customer. We just bought Oracle product, didn't buy support service.
First of all, I'll describ our system structure. The system is Weblogic5.1 + Toplink 2.5.1 + Oracle8.1 .Using Toplink we mapping our EJB to Oracle. The results of this procedure aremany .table, .descriptor, .topclass under the mapping forlder, and weblogic-ejb-jar.xml, topling-cmp-XX.xml, ejb-jar.xml under the deploy forlder. That's all.
So, after our ant-build, we copy these results to Weblogic server directory, and compile with EJB, deploy them. It's correct?
OK, as my considering, I install TOPLINK Release 2 , use Renamer tool to rename my source code from old TOPLINK library to oracle.toplink, complie them again. And create new project in TOPLINK 9.0.3 , import classes, login Database correctly. Do mapping as in TOPLINK2.5.1. Generate packagename.ClassDescriptor.xml under Descriptor, forlder ClassRepository, Class, Table, Database generate xml files also.
Do the above process correct? OK, let's assume it' correct. But how can I modify my ant-build , you know the structure is difference between Weblogic 5.1 and Weblogic 6 or 7. Additionally, I don't know where should I copy new TOPLINK library to Weblogic directory. Yes, I know old TOPLINK library location, but I think it has difference.
So , please tell me I can use Weblogic5.1 + TOPLINK 9.0.3 + Oracle 8.1 , is it right? I will be appreciated if you can give me some detail steps in upgrading TOPLINK.
And perhaps we need to upgrade out system from TOPLINK 2.5.1 to TOPLINK 4.x first?
Thanks for your view.

Using Map Files / Map IDs

Heya,
RH9, merged webhelp
I'm trying to set up Map IDs for a quasi-context sensitive help feature, and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I've read through the RH9 help which links to the Grainge website and a couple more links, but I'm still not sure what to do.
First, the background:
We auto-generate a set of release notes for new features and fixes. This is done using a script that pulls the relevant information out of Dovetail (basically where all our support and development cases are stored). So basically our release list shows the case number, the area of the software, and a brief summary of the fix/feature. The release notes are script-generated as an .html file that we can link to in help.
The issue is that they want me to alter the release notes so that the case number serves as a hyperlink to the relevant topic in help. So, for example, if we had a new feature for widget making, case number 12345, the release notes entry for this would have a hyperlink that would take the user to the 'Widget Making' help topic.
My thinking is that I can use the case numbers as Map IDs, ie assign Map ID '12345' to the 'Widget Making' topic, and then create a generic link in the release notes that can 'insert' the relevant case number when the user goes to find that associated help topic.
Potential Issue:
We use a merged help system, but we do not need to merge map files. Our help system consists of one mostly-empty parent project (title page, about page, etc.), a project that contains the majority of our topics, a project that contains database information for technical users, and a few other odd projects. All of the linked topics are going to be in the same main child help project. Because of this, the map file/IDs are going to be a single set in a single project, but not the parent project.
Does this only affect the pathway for the basic link (e.g. "webhelp/mergedProjects/child1.htm" instead of "webhelp/start.htm"?), or are there other considerations? For example, the merged help map ID topics I've seen talk about using number ranges to denote the different projects, but since we've only the one, do we really need to do that? To me, it seems like we should be able to use a relatively straight-forward single-project type link, with the only difference being that the the link goes to a child project folder and not the main webhelp folder.
So far in testing, the link doesn't work, so I'm wondering if either the URL is not as straight-forward as I hoped, or I'm missing something else due to the nature of how our webhelp is set up. Because it's a child, do we still need to 'merge' map files even if we don't need one for the parent? (ie we create an empty parent map file, merge it with the child, and link to the parent?)
Thanks for any tips/advice!

Hi,
When you use CSH in a merged project, the master project will automatically check all child projects when the context sensitive id cannot be found in the master project. Peter’s method includes merging the map files but I don’t think that is necessary. We have several merged projects that work perfectly without merging the map files. But Peter is the authority on merged help
It is important to first get the terminology straight. In WebHelp there are Map ID’s and Map numbers. The Map ID (or topic id) is an alphanumeric string that can be anything from one character to a hundred or more characters. Then there are the Map numbers. Map numbers are a number between 1 and 4.294.967.295.
The terminology is important because what RoboHelp calls a Map ID may be referred to as a map number. Reading the article on Peter’s site I get the impression that what is called a Map ID on Peter’s site is actually the Map number in RoboHelp. (Please correct me if I’m wrong Peter.) The Map ID in RoboHelp is the Topic ID on Peter’s site. See step 8 of the article, it describes how to create a test page using the default RoboHelp JavaScript API. But that test page actually uses the map numbers as the default JS API does not support topic id’s, only map numbers.
Your map file tells the following:
‘12345’ is the Map ID or topic ID.
‘1’ is the Map number. The Map ID referred to on Peter’s site if I’m not mistaken.
Calling the Map number 12345 will not work if you use the default method because you are looking for the wrong number. Try the following:
Say that your master project is placed on http://localhost/newproject.htm. Open a new browser window and add the following URL in the browser where you replace the url with the url your project is placed:
http://localhost/newproject.htm#<str=12345
Does this get the desired result? Also try the test page but use ‘1’ instead of ‘12345’. Does this also get the correct page?
You (or your developers) may also be interested in my WebHelp CSH dissection: http://www.wvanweelden.eu/robohelp/webhelp/csh Note that this article is aimed at developers and does not provide any direct answers, but it will help you understand the different settings in RoboHelp.
Hope this doesn’t confuse you and I hope my assumptions about your intended action are correct.
Greet,
Willam
