Import of Main and Lookup table in a single Map

Hey Guys,
I am developing a Proof of Concept to Import Main and Lookup-Flat in a single Import Map (by using a single excel file).
Below is my Table structure:
Main Table: Customer
--->Customer_Number (Text,Unique Field, Display Field)
--->Sales_Area (Lookup Flat)
Lookup Table: Sales_Area
Sales_Area_ID (Text,Unique Field,Display Field)
Sales_Area_Desc (Text,Display Field).
The import File (excel) has below attributes:
Customer_Number,Sales_Area_ID,Sales_Area_Desc.
When i start both Main Table and Lookup tables are empty (there is no data in Data Manager for either of the tables)
Now in the Import Map, i selected source as the excel file and target as the Main table.
I did mapping of Customer_Number as usual after that I created a compound field for Sales_Area_ID+ Sales_Area_Desc and did the mapping of this compound field. then did the mapping for Sales_Area_ID and Sales_Area_Desc.
Now since there is no data in lookup table, i select the "Add" button in the "Value Mapping" section. when i execute this map, it works perfectly and data is loaded in both the Main table and lookup table but if a new value comes in the excel(a value which does not yet exist in lookup table), the map fails, when i open it , it says that i need to redo the Value Mapping, again i click on "Add" button and it starts working. So basically the Import Map fails whenever i get a value in excel which does not yet exist in Lookup table.
Now my question is, is there a way to automate my import map, i thought clicking on "Add" button will take care of all the lookup values which are not already present.
Can anyone please help me in this regard.
Thanks
Saif

Hi Saif,
You can try the following option.
Right click on the lookup filed/compound filed in destination fields, and select the option 'SET MDIS Unmapped Value Handling' as 'ADD'.
Cheers,
Cherry.

Using bucket search and lookup tables

I have to create an array of dates, and then extend this by creating a lookup table for the months of the dates. So this lookup table will have 12 elements. Finally it should print to the screen the total amount of times a month appears in the object array. I have created my array and i am only working on getting the bucket search working at the moment. In the code you will see the problem i am having on lines 45 and 46. The assigning is of different types so it wont allow it. I was thinking about using a toString method to get this working but then would the lookup tables be able to look up the months still? Also where abouts in the code would i put the toString method? Can i actually do it when declaring the arrays e.g. a[0]=new Date.toSting( (2, "January", 2007) );
Anyway, heres what i have:
import javax.swing.*;
public class Date
public int Day;
public int Year;
public String Month;
public Date(int day, String month, int year){
Day = day;
Year = year;
Month = month;
public static void main(String[] args)
final int ARRAY_SIZE = 10;
final int RANGE = 30;
Date[] a = new Date[ARRAY_SIZE];
a[0]=new Date (2, "January", 2007);
a[1]=new Date (21, "Feburary", 2007);
a[2]=new Date (31, "December", 2007);
a[3]=new Date (29, "Demember", 2007);
a[4]=new Date (8, "April", 2007);
a[5]=new Date (15, "January", 2007);
a[6]=new Date (12, "Feburary", 2007);
a[7]=new Date (30, "August", 2007);
a[8]=new Date (4, "June", 2007);
a[9]=new Date (19, "June", 2007);
boolean result;
String searchKey;
boolean[] bucket = new boolean[RANGE];
for (int i = 0; i < RANGE; i++)
bucket[i] = false;
for (int j = 0; j < ARRAY_SIZE; j++)
String data;
data = a[j]; //???????????????
bucket[data] = true;
searchKey = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Give me a date");;
result = bucketSearch(bucket, searchKey);
if (result == true)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"KEY " + searchKey + " FOUND");
else
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"KEY " + searchKey + " NOT FOUND");
System.exit(0);
public static boolean bucketSearch (boolean[] bucket, int key)
return bucket[key];
}ps.. i know i need to sort out my searchkey but i will do this after i sort out this problem.
Cheers

The bucket search is actually another question, but i also went to search the net for it and couldnt find anything on bucket search. This is what they are calling a bucket search:
Write a fragment of Java code that does a lookup table search. It asks the user of the program to input a
key to search for and then searches for it in a previously pre-computed lookup table, called bucket that
stores true to mean the data was in the original array and false to mean it was not. It prints a message
indicating whether the data was in the original array or not.
key = Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog
("Give me a number to search for"));
if (bucket[key] == true)
System.out.print("Data found");
else
System.out.print("Data is not present");

Creating a single context index on a one-to-many and lookup table

Hello,
I've been successfully setting up text indexes on multiple columns on the same table (using MULTI_COLUMN_DATASTORE preferences), but now I have a situation with a one-to-many data collection table (with a FK to a lookup table), and I need to search columns across both of these tables. Sample code below, more of my chattering after the code block:
CREATE TABLE SUBMISSION
( SUBMISSION_ID             NUMBER(10)          NOT NULL,
SUBMISSION_NAME           VARCHAR2(100)       NOT NULL
CREATE TABLE ADVISOR_TYPE
( ADVISOR_TYPE_ID           NUMBER(10)          NOT NULL,

COMMIT;I want to be able to create a text index to lump these fields together:
SUBMISSION_ADVISORS.FIRST_NAME
SUBMISSION_ADVISORS.LAST_NAME
SUBMISSION_ADVISORS.SUFFIX
ADVISOR_TYPE.ADVISOR_TYPE_NAME
I've looked at DETAIL_DATASTORE and USER_DATASTORE, but the examples in Oracle Docs for DETAIL_DATASTORE leave me a little bit perplexed. It seems like this should be pretty straightforward.
Ideally, I'm trying to avoid creating new columns, and keeping the trigger adjustments to a minimum. But I'm open to any and all suggestions. Thanks for for your time and thoughts.

I would create a procedure that creates a virtual document with tags, which is what the multi_column_datatstore does behind the scenes. Then I would use that procedure in a user_datastore, so the result is the same for multiple tables as what a multi_column_datastore does for one table. I would also use either auto_section_group or some other type of section group, so that you can search using WITHIN as with the multi_column_datastore. Please see the demonstration below.

Tab key and lookup table

Hi,
How to use the 'Tab' key to open a lookup table, E.g. BP Code, Name?
Alternatively, how to use the 'Tab' key to call a formatted search? I hope to follow the standard in SBO and do away the Shift-F2.
I am using VB and 2004B. Your input will be appreciated.

I think you can mimic every user action with UIAPI.
Therefore, e.g. in Sales Order Form you activate the BPCode item (.Click) and hit Tab (.SendKeys(vbTab)).
You could also try clicking the the iconitem ("67") next to BPCode.
If you want to assign a Choose From List (CFL) to an item of your choice using UIAPI then you should wait for 2005.
Shift-F2 is standard in SBO UI for launching FSs, why would you like to disable it?
If you want to enable tabbing to kick-off an existing FS, then you should capture the tabbing event (et_KEY_DOWN) in your item and then use SendKeys for sending Shift-F2 to keyboard.

Is it possible to export and import the roles and users tables?

Hi,
is there any possibility to export and import the role and user definitions?
We have a SAP MDM repository with a lot of roles and users and also with a lot of changes.
And now I'm searching for a fast and efficient way of managing the roles and users.
Thanks and Regards, Melanie

Hi Melanie,
There is no export/import functionality for roles and users. The only way to manage these in an automated way would be to write a program that uses the Java or ABAP APIs. Both APIs expose functionality to create, update and delete roles and users.
Hope this helps,
Richard

Content Search web part - Display Project Enterprise Custom Fields and Lookup Tables

My ultimate goal is to display a rollup table of our active projects (from PWA) on another site collection using the content search web part. I can return default properties (such as the project name, author and URL) fairly easily using the same basic steps
in the link below.
http://en.share-gate.com/blog/roll-up-sharepoint-2013-sites-using-search
My problem is that I want to also display information associated with each project from our PWA enterprise custom fields (such as risk, phase, etc.)
Because these custom fields do not appear to be site columns, I'm at a bit of a loss as to how this data is searched / indexed / mapped.
Is it possible to display PWA enterprise custom fields in a content search web part?

Hi Jennifer,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to display PWA enterprise custom fields in a Content Search web part in SharePoint 2013.
As your active projects were from different site collection with the Content Search web part, you need to do a crawl for the content source, then create a managed property for the column in CA->Search Service Application->Search Schema. When you create
the managed property, select Searchable, Queryable, Retrievable. Then map it to the crawled property based on the custom column. You can find the crawled property by searching the name of the column in crawled properties.
More information, please refer to the link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219667(v=office.15).aspx
I hope this helps.

How to query table/comment information and lookup table names from PKs?

I am trying to figure out whether I can query the Oracle meta-data to look for:
a) comments on tables and fields matching a certain text pattern. If possible I would LIKE the text pattern matching not to be case-sensitive. Am I looking within the right meta tables?
SQL> desc all_col_comments
Name Null? Type
OWNER NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
TABLE_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
COLUMN_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
COMMENTS VARCHAR2(4000)
SQL> desc user_tab_comments
Name Null? Type
TABLE_NAME NOT NULL VARCHAR2(30)
TABLE_TYPE VARCHAR2(11)
COMMENTS VARCHAR2(4000)
See http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:233014204543.
b) I was trying to look up a text named 'PKa200030' which showed up within an application upon which we are developing. The application uses Oracle 11g Enterprise Edition. However, I could not find the name anywhere when querying all_constraints, so I am not sure how to trace back the table name / package name, by knowing what seems to be a primary key constraints, any ideas please?
select c.table_name,c.constraint_name, --c.r_constraint_name,
cc.table_name
from all_constraints c
inner join all_constraints cc on c.r_constraint_name = cc.constraint_name
See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3210743/viewing-oracles-metadata-about-primary-foreign-key-constraints.
c) I am not sure whether it is possible to draw a database entity model, perhaps using software, assuming that the primary/foreign keys have been already defined within Oracle 11g. Is software available to do this?

MDM Data model design for Main table visa vis lookup table

Hi ,
I would like to know whether the legal entities or Address table which are common for all MDM main tables like Customer ,Vendor,Material,Business Partner etc can also become a main table when their attributes are around 30-40 range.
Is it a sound design approach to make Company table with about 50 attributes and say address table with 20 attributes as Main table and replicate a small company-id table with 2 or 3 attributes to link to the main table(company)? This will ensure replicating that small table(company-id) to all other Main tables(customer,vendor,......) instead of replicating that big company table as lookup for all main tables?
Thanks in advance for any idea or feasibility comments.
-reo

Hi, Deepak
>>> - How can I populate the data in the lookup table at the same time when I am populating the main table ? I have only the XML's that correspond to the main table . I don't have seperate data for the lookup tables .
I don't think you can populate both main table and all fields of lookup tables at the same time, i.e. using same map. You can consider 2 options to upload all information you have:
1) If your XML file contains data you would like to upload to lookup tables, you can upload it to MDM lookup tables with several maps using same XML and choosing different sections of that XML corresponding to different MDM lookup tables.
2) Also you can upload main table simultaneously with lookup table entries (using same map), but in this case new lookup table entries will only contain display field values that you mapped. To do this you should use 'Add' value mapping functionality for fields that you mapped to lookup tables.
>>>- Can I use the standard maps available for import in the business content of material repository in MDM ?
1) In case you have material master repository delivered by SAP and you use XML files which structure corresponds to SAP predelivered XSD schemas then you can use these maps undoubtedly.
2) If your repository is based on SAP predelivered, but you changed it ,you should adjust these maps due to differences in repository structure and XML files structure.
3) If you created your repository from scratch you should consider option of making your own import maps.

Read data from MDM For Lookup and Flat table using MDM ABAP API

Hi,
I have requriment to read data from MDM from FLAT and Lookup table using MDM ABAP API. My design is like this ,
I have one ITEMS (Main table in MDM) and inside that i have one Lookup flat table ITEM_TYPE , my requriment is to read Item number and its related Item type.
From ABAP.
Please help if any body has any idea.

HI Guys,
I found my solution by myself. Below is the solution , hope this will help others:-
Retrieve data from MDM using MDM ABAP API.
Step- 1. Create structure in SAP with the same name as that of MDM field code for MDM Main table.
Step-2. Create another structure in SAP having all lookup fields of MDM , fieldname in ECC must be same as that of MDM field
code.
Step-3.Create structure in SAP for individual lookup field(Single Field only)   with the same name as MDM Field code.
Step-4.

Lookup-table and query-database do not use global transaction

Hi,
following problem:
DbAdapter inserts data into DB (i.e. an invoice).
Process takes part in global transaction.
After the insert there is a transformation which uses query-database and / or lookup-table.
It seems these XPath / XSLT functions are NOT taking part in the transaction and so we can not access information from the current db transaction.
I know workarounds like using DbAdapter for every query needed, etc. but this will cost a lot of time to change.
Is there any way to share transaction in both DbAdapter insert AND lookup-table and query-database?
Thanks, Best Regards,
Martin

One dba contacted me and made this statement:
Import & export utilities are not independent from characterset. All
user data in text related datatypes is exported using the character set
of the source database. If the character sets of the source and target
databases do not match a single conversion is performed.So far, that does not appear to be correct.
nls_characterset = AL32UTF8
nls_nchar_characterset = UTF8
Running on Windows.
EXP produces a backup in WE8MSWIN1252.
I found that if I change the setting of the NLS_LANG registry setting for my oracle home, the exp utility exports to that character set.
I changed the nls_lang
from AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
to AMERICAN_AMERICA.UTF8
Unfortunately , the export isn't working right, although it did change character sets.
I get a warning on a possible character set conversion issue from AL32UTF8 to UTF8.
Plus, I get an EXP_00056 Oracle error 932 encountered
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected BLOB, CLOB, get CHAR.
EXP-00000: export terminated unsuccessfully.
The schema I'm exporting with has exactly one procedure in it. Nothing else.
I guess getting a new error message is progress. :)
Still can't store multi-lingual characters in data tables.

When to use qualified lookup table?

Hi all,
I am confused with the qualified lookup table and lookup table, for the situation that a company has more than one contact person, I created a table "contact person", which has following fields: first name, last name, phone number, email address.
Questions:
1. should I set "contact person" as a lookup table or qualified lookup table?
2. if to be set as qualified lookup table, which field should be qualifier field? what is the difference between qualifier field and non-qualifier field?
your reply will be very appreciable
Bin

At times data is stored in such a way that duplication is unavoidable due to the storing mechanism and other factors. It may also happen that the data is sparse. The efficient way of storing data in such scenarios is the use of Qualified tables as it reduces the size of the main table and removes the unnecessarily created duplicates.

How do I handle values in source that are not in "lookup" table?

hi there,
I have 3 tables (all Oracle technology):
1) Source table: CALLS with columns MSISDN, TRANS_DATE, TYPE, COST, DURATION
2) Lookup table: SUBSCRIBERS with columns SUBSCRIBERID, MSISDN, IMSI
3) Target table: FACT_CALLS with columns SUBSCRIBERID (not null), CALLDATE, CALLTYPE, CALLDURATION, CALLCHARGE.
Join between source and lookup table:
NVL(CALLS.MSISDN,0) =SUBSCRIBERS.MSISDN)
Mappings on target:
FACT_CALLS.SUBSCRIBERID --> SUBSCRIBERS.SUBSCRIBERID
FACT_CALLS.CALLDATE --> CALLS.TRANS_DATE
FACT_CALLS.CALLTYPE --> CALLS.TYPE
FACT_CALLS.CALLDURATION --> CALLS.DURATION
FACT_CALLS.CALLCHARGE --> CALLS.CHARGE
I have a dummy value in SUBSCRIBERS with values MSISDN = 0, SUBSCRIBERID = 0 and IMSI = 0, to be used if MSISDN in the source table is null or does not exist in the lookup table.
The NVL on the join takes care of the case when source MSISDN is null and this is working fine i.e. returns 0 for SUBSCRIBERID.
The problem occurs when the source MSISDN does have a value but such a value does not exist in the lookup table, such records are rejected.
How do I implement a solution for this?

hi Guru,
Yes I have 2 source tables and a target.
1) I created a join by dragging MSISDN on CALLS to MSISDN on SUBSCRIBERS then added the NVL part to have NVL(CALLS.MSISDN,0) =SUBSCRIBERS.MSISDN)
2) the target does not have MSISDN. Using the join the target SUBSCRIBERID column gets populated with the correct value from the lookup table.
i.e. FACT_CALLS.SUBSCRIBERID = (select SUBSCRIBERID from SUBSCRIBERS where SUBSCRIBERS.MSISDN = CALLS.MSISDN)

LOOKUP TABLES

should both the source and lookup tables be in the same schema???
i choose the source table from one schema and the lookup tabel from another schema,so when i try to save it, i get an error saying
*"In order to create a lookup ,you must be sure that both tables are on the same connection and the source technology has the ability to use a lookup"*.and i am not able to save the lookup.

Using a dynamic lookup table

Hi,
Simple question for the ODI guru's.. for an interface that we use, there is a requirement to dynamically look-up value's in a lookup table and then use these value's from the lookup table to write to a target table.
This instead of hard coding string value's in the target table of the interface.
ODI (11g) gives the option to use a lookup table, but it kind of assumes a relationship between the lookup table and source table - ie.it nicely allows you specify either an outer join or a subquery in the select statement.
In this case, using the lookup, there is none however - no relationship between either lookup and source columns. So how would you do this?
An outer join could be used, but then it requires to specify a join on columns of the source and lookup tables, so you could use dummy columns, but that is not ideal as columns might actually match. Any ideas?
Cheers

If there is no relationship between the values in your source table and those in the lookup table I can't see how you expect to perform a lookup - without a relationship it would be guesswork. For your requirements you would have to define a link table which held the associations between the 2 tables.
