Import server - Structural exception

Hi All,
I configured all the necessary setting required for Import server.I manually placed the file in Ready folder.The file gets processed but goes and sit in exception folder under structural folder.
I tried the same file using Import manager and and dot loaded in DM without any error.I checked all the fields and structure but unable to find the solution.
I am getting the following error showing some timestamp.There are no fields in may main table using timestamp .our design has only literal date and time in tuple.Is this something to do with this?
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes" ?>
- <File>
<ExceptionSubFolder>E:\usr\sap\MD1\MDS00\exe\Distributions\HYDHTC100401D_MSQL\Sachin\Inbound\MDM\MRH2_MAP_AUTO\Exception\StructuralX\</ExceptionSubFolder>

Can any one help me in this ?

Import server: Undefined elements exception

Hi,
I do have a problem with the import server. I get ,'save-update map' structural exceptions in the import server. It complains about undefined elements, and if saved the update it works for one single XML file but other still fail with similar (other element though) error. Mapping the files in the import manager just works. We are using version 5.5.41.70 here of all components. I noticed a thread which explains about sp5 patch 01, hotfix 1, which fixes this, but we're having that one already.
I did validate the xml already against the xsd used, the xml is valid.
Error from logfile is:
"Some portions of this import map are out of date.<LF/>Solution: Please, Launch the Import Manager GUI, preferably using the original source file that the map was generated for, otherwise the same source file and Save Update [File->Save Update] the map.<LF/> Parent hierarchy: <E1MARAM>.<LF/> Undefined element: <EKWSL>. ".
Thanks,
Wim

Hi Wim,
it looks like that your Import Map does not have all IDoc fields mapped to the corresponding repository fields. If you map the fields in Import Manager and choose the Save->Update option, IM adds the new mapping to the old existing one. But of course it is still possible that there are other unmapped IDoc elements which need to be mapped once manually before the Import Server can process the file automatically. The best way to solve this is creating a "Dummy" IDoc file that contains a value for each and every field. Then use this "Dummy" IDoc in Import Manager, load the Map and check the mappings. You can add/delete mappings according to your expected real data. Save->Update once again and you should not into the issue any longer.
Best regards
Michael

Structural Exception thrown during Automatic Import in MDM

Hello Experts,
While importing material records automatically MDM throws a structural exception. When i try importing the same exception file using Import Manager Import status=Ready for Import and the records are imported successfully.
The same Import map and properties when applied on the TEST environment also works properly for both Automatic and Manual import.
Can anyone advice a solution to this.
Thanks in advance,
Elizabeth.

Hi Jacob,
Just check your source file if any new segment occur or segment value is repeating but ideally it should not because in manual import it will work by ignoring this value where during automiz it gives an error
Also i mention in previous thread provide us MDM server log details snaps when structural exception occure along with date and time information so based on log detail we can provide suggestion

Structural Exception During Auto Imports In MDM

Hi All,
We are facing a problem while auto importing bulk data.
System is throwing structural exception and preventing data from importing automatically.
Is there any way that we could identify which segment in XML is causing this structural exception?
Also if we try to import data manually by loading the XML file, system throws a message "Unknown Exception".
Is there a possibility that some data in XML will be causing this problem?
Kindly provide your valuable inputs. Thank You.
Regards,
Ankush Bhardwaj

Hi,
I have checked the settings for the Port and Block on Structural Exception is already set to Yes.
And Save Update did not help either.
Apart from this, Log files for MDIS server points to some error saying ImportRecordSliceInternal471.
So we are now trying to change Slicing Parameter for Import in MDS.ini and see if it still throws exceptions or not.
Please suggest if i could try some other thing also.
Also i have one question as to if this problem could be due to the Data in the XML file because we have so many qualified Table links to be updated along with Main table record values?
Thank You.

Value Exception in Import server

Hi Experts,
My requirement is i have 100 files in the ready folder while processing first file through import server, it got value exception which i fixed manually through import manager port option and saved map as update. But even after the files which are having records with same values also moving to Value exception. Can you please me help me out to fix it.
Thanks
Narendra

Hi Mullapudi Narendra,
Value exception only come when any new value occurs in you lookup table so avoid this in importmanager configuration setting require to set MDIS parameter
in MDIS Add / Map / fail and ignore detail as follows
Add : value at destination side doesn't exist then this value get added to your lookup table as well as update this value at record. add new value at lookup subtable and update record at main table
Map : value will only map which are exist at destination side. update records at main table
Fail : if any new value occurs which is not exist at destination will not allowed to import this record as well as lookup field value.
entire record will get fail and doesnot import lookup subtable and maintable
Ignore : if any new value occurs which is not exist at destination will ignore this value and remaining data will get import except lookup field which contain new value .only value will ingore at lookup subtable and maintable for respective field, other field data of file will import

Import Server - Workflow related value exceptions

Hi,
Our Import Server is importing multiple records, one record per file. The inbound port is configured with a file threshold of 5, 50000 chunks and 5 parallel chunks.
We are using a workflow on import to assign values to 2 different fields. In the start step of the workflow the records do not get checked out.
When importing 1000+ records it works great, but a couple of times it runs into value exceptions.
In the log files I can find the following error:
Import failed. Cannot import record with workflow because the record is already checked out
Import action: Update (All Mapped Fields)
Source record no: 16
All MDM components have version 5.5.42.92.
I saw a similar issue in a different thread. Is this fixed in 5.5.42.98?
Thanks & Best Regards,
Ingo

Dear Saurabh,
The record is not checked out in Data Manager at the time the error occurs.
Nobody is checking out records prior and during the whole test run.
5.5.42.98 - I tried this out and get the same errors.
In our project we are still on 5.5.42.92 and won't upgrade until we know that another version is doing better.
There are some functionalities in MDM5.5 SP06 patch 1 that are not working well, for example try out the qualified update (update (new links create, existing links update (all mapped fields), that you can set on field level and you will get some unexpected results. We won't go for SP06 until we are really sure that all issues we experience are fixed.
What else could be the cause for this error?
Thanks & Best Regards,
Ingo

Complex XML - Import Server

Hi,
I have an XML structure as follows:
<Root>
<PartnerNum>123</PartnerNum>
<FName>D</FName>
<Lname>B</LName>
<Address>
<Add1>Address line 111</Add1>
<Add2>Address Line 222</Add2>
<PostCode>Po 1</PostCode>
</Address>
<Address>
<Add1>Address line 333</Add1>
<Add2>Address line 444</Add2>
<PostCode>Po 2</PostCode>
</Address>
</Root>
When I use import manager I can succesfully importby forming Joins (_ID field) between different XML structures... However when I use Import Server exception comes that I cannot use complex structures.
How do I import these kind of structures using Import server?
Regards,
Dev.

Simona,
I am using similar approach - using joins to club multiple segments into one and then using this main one as the source table.

Port Blocked on Structural Exception

Hi All,
I am facing one issue in which Inbound Port for auto imports is getting blocked.
Error message in the logs is "CR: 0x80010000 Out of Memory".
Can anyone please throw some light regarding this message and let me know what this means?
This is a Verbose message and setting 0x800 is used for keeping track of ImportX.
Then why is the port blocked on Structural Exception?
Thank You.

Hi Ankush,
It seems there is a high load on MDS causing the first error.
Try connecting through IM manually for the same record.
Also,if there is high data influx it is advisable to optimise port and MDIS parameters accordingly.
I did not get what is your second question but if you are asking why does the port block on structural Exception,then thats a setting which you can or not.But i have seen having exceptions in StrucX badly affects import process.
Also error 0x800 is also related to server being very busy,that may be the case here.
Thanks,
Ravi

Import Server issues with SP4 maps

While using the Import Server, I have a newly created map using Import Mgr 5.5 SP4. (I used a schema created by XI v.7 SP9). When it runs, it throw and exception with the following error message:
<b>"Encountered a pre-SP4 map. The map needs to be upgraded to SP4.
Solution: Please, Launch the Import Manager GUI using the same source file and simply save the map"</b>
It appears to not like new entries on the Partners table and balks at auto-mapping values for the compound field for the qualified lookup table at the Customer main level. The input record is outlined below. I have set the CONFIGURATIONS to "Replace/Replace/None" and "Automap values in batch" and in the map they are set to "Create/Update (ALL MAPPED)/Update (ALL MAPPED)".

For all watching this thread:
We were running MDM 5.5 SP4. We applied Patch 2 (not patch 3) to our 32-bit system and we no longer get this error. We now get an error that the "Source File does not conform to the XML Schema", an entirely new issue. I will open a new question regarding that.
Thank you. Don

MDM Import Server after error in import file

We setup Import Server and it processed a few files. then we tested what happens when there is an error. it logged a file to LOG folder. but would not start picking up new files we dropped in the READY folder. We removed the file with an error but still nothing; we fixed the error and put the file back and still nothing; we stopped and restarted the server, reposititory and import server but still nothing. Any ideas how we "reset" import server so it will start to process files again ? thanks

Hi Jay
I have faced the similar problem; have done some turn around to make things work, it may not be permanent solution. I have cleared the folders LOG,EXCEPTION(StructuralX), STATUS by copying the files to someother location for future reference and it worked.
Please feel free to revert to me for further clarifications.
thanks

'Import file parsing exception' while importing BIAR file

Hi All,
We use Java WebServices SDK for integrating our product with Business Objects. For installing the reports we use the InstallEntSDKWrapper jar to copy the BIAR file containing the reports on to the BO server. Till now we were using BO XI R2 and everything works fine.
But now we have decided to upgrade to BO 3.0 and the reports install no longer works. Here is the error that we get -
[InstallEntSdkWrapper.main] Connecting to CMS rwc-1950-120:6400 as administrator
[InstallEntSdkWrapper.CmsImportFile] Exception: Import file parsing exception
curred : 'Type info incomplete'
[InstallEntSdkWrapper.main] BIAR File could not be imported
Any idea what might be going wrong here? We are trying to import the same BIAR file that were created with the earlier BO version to the 3.0 version server. Couple of questions that I have is -
1. Do we need to repackage the BIAR with 3.0 before attempting to install it? Are there any issues with trying to install a BIAR which is of older BO version?
2. Do we need to add/modify any library (jar) in the runtime to get rid of the exception?
Thanks for all the help.
Regards
Manas

Import Server - Multiple Qualified Table - Map Crash

Hello,
Requirement: I need to update multiple qualified table using single source file.
Preparation: I have created a map where mapping to multiple qualified table fields maually.
Have created a Inbound Port using the above map.
Problem: Import server throws an exception; while opening the Import Manager using the Port Option and corresponding Exception; Lot of fields were un-mapped. Looks like Import map crashed.
Please feel free to throw some light reg the same!
Thanks
Alexander

Hi Alexander,
If you are performing multiple qualifier table mapping and importing then you will hav eto create differnt map for each table importing.In that case you will rrquire multiple inbound ports and in each ports deatils you will give the map name pertaining to which qualified lookup table you wish to import.
Actually using automatic importing for lookups is not desirable as the lookups always need to be prepopulated before your main table importing.
The exception taht you are receiving could be due to the reason that the map you are saving is using only one table mapping and so most of the fields are left unmapped.
try not to use automatic importing for Lookup qualifier tables and use manual importing and see if the the exception still comes.
Hope it helps
Kindly reaward points if found useful
Thanks

MDIS blocking XML files with Structural exceptions

Hi,
I am importing Article master records into a repository with MDIS. The files are blocking with structural exceptions. I can import the same files fine with the Import Manager - only some extra value mapping has to be done. I have set to MDIS to perform automatic addition of unmapped values, the port is set using the correct map, it is set to inbound and it is using the correct schema for the article records.
Any files that do not import with the MDIS can be imported with the Import Manager. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Keith
Pts generously rewarded for helpful answers.

Hi Keith,
I can see only one cause of the problem taht you are facing.
Probably for the "value mapping" you can make it automatic by setting the MDIS.
You will have to set it as:
1. Automap Unmapped value-- YES
2. Always use Unmapped Value handling- ADD ( this is for adding values which cant be mapped as there as no such values present in MDM).
Kindly let me know if the problem still prevails...
Thanks,
Nitin jain.

Import Server Query

Hi All,
If we use Import Server on the Port of a repository, we need to specify a map that can be run on the Port in Console.
But can I run multiple maps on the same file using the Import Server? If yes, how can it be done?
How can we raise an event whenever a file is dumped into a directory? I am using Import Manager batch and I want to schedule the batch process whenever a file gets dumped to a particular folder.
Thanks in advance.
Pooja.

Hi Subbu,
Thanks for providing me the code. But I am still facing a problem. I have modified my code as below -
import java.io.File;
import java.lang.*;
public class DirMonitor
     static final String DIR_PATH = "<Valid path>";
     static final int PING_PERIOD = 3000;
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
         File dir = new File(DIR_PATH);
          while (true)
               String[] filelist = dir.list();
               if(filelist!=null)
                    System.out.println("No.of Files found are:" + filelist.length);
                    Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
                Process p = rt.exec("<Complete path to the batch file>");
          System.out.println("Check");
                p.waitFor();
                System.out.println("Next Check");
               try
                    System.out.println("Waiting.....");
                    Thread.sleep(PING_PERIOD);
                    System.out.println("Waiting Complete...");
               catch (Exception e) {}
As soon as I am running this program, It runs well till System.out.println("Check");.
But it stops to process further on "p.waitFor()" statement.
Looks like the process does not terminate. I don't know why?
I doubt wheteher the batch file is running or not, as I don't see the batch file running on the command prompt.
Note: My batch file is running fine when I am trying to run it manually.
Can you please suggest what could be the problem?
Regards,
Pooja
