Key Cross reference mapping in SAP XI

Hi SAP XI Experts,
I have come across the mapping problem with cross referencing the field elements.
desc : If we have 3 systems integrating, Sieble, SAP and Oracle with XI, consider an identical product has been saved across three different applications. Each application uses different primary key to save the product. If the product is going to be used across all the applications, the integration server thus plays the role to connect records and establish the relationship among them.
In order to achieve the goal, UAN architecture has defined 5 interfaces for integration
server. They are GetAppID(), GetCommonID(), SetCommonID(), GetAppVal() and
GetCommonVal.
IS THERE ANY SPECIFIED PACKAGE OR TOOL IN MAPPING OF XI TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM, WITHOUT USING THE JAVA - USER DEFINED FUNCTIONS.
Thanks in Advance,
Sunil Shetty

Hi,
there are many tools in XI in which you can map different values
(check out value mapping replication) - no java necessary
you can also do the mapping in abap and use abap functions
to get the correct material number

How to Maintain Surrogate Key Mapping (cross-reference) for Dimension Tables

Hi,
What would be the best approach on ODI to implement the Surrogate Key Mapping Table on the STG layer according to Kimball's technique:
"Surrogate key mapping tables are designed to map natural keys from the disparate source systems to their master data warehouse surrogate key. Mapping tables are an efficient way to maintain surrogate keys in your data warehouse. These compact tables are designed for high-speed processing. Mapping tables contain only the most current value of a surrogate key— used to populate a dimension—and the natural key from the source system. Since the same dimension can have many sources, a mapping table contains a natural key column for each of its sources.
Mapping tables can be equally effective if they are stored in a database or on the file system. The advantage of using a database for mapping tables is that you can utilize the database sequence generator to create new surrogate keys. And also, when indexed properly, mapping tables in a database are very efficient during key value lookups."
We have a requirement to implement cross-reference mapping tables with Natural and Surrogate Keys for each dimension table. These mappings tables will be populated automatically (only inserts) during the E-LT execution, right after inserting into the dimension table.
Someone have any idea on how to implement this on ODI?
Thanks,
Danilo

Hi,
first of all please avoid bolding something. After this according Kimball (if i remember well) is a 1:1 mapping, so no-surrogate key.
After that personally you could use Lookup Table
http://www.odigurus.com/2012/02/lookup-transformation-using-odi.html
or make a simple outer join filtering by your "Active_Flag" column (remember that this filter need to be inside your outer join).

Table / Module Cross Reference

Good day
Sorry if this question is answered already but I couldn't find the answer in any forum.
I have a list of a few thousand table names and I have to identify which module (SD, FI, CO, MM, etc.) each table belongs to. I know some tables are cross- module but I think each table is linked to one Primary module.
1) Is there a Table / Module cross reference anywhere in SAP ?
2) Is there a function module I can use ?
3) Does anybody know the links to work backwards from having a table name to get to the appropriate module.
Thank you for your help.
Gerrie

Hi
There is no such hardcore rule to distingush between the tables to different modules
but some tips are:
1. most of the tables starting with V* belongs to SD
like vbak,vbap,vbrk,vbrp,vbkd,vbep etc
2. Most of the tables starting with E* belongs to MM purchasing
like ekko,ekpo,eket,eban etc
3.Tables atrting with KN* belong s to Customer master
4.Tables starting with M* belongs to Material Master
5. Tables starting with LF * belongs to Vendor
6.Tables starting with B* belongs to FI module like
bkpf,bseg,bsis,bsas,bsid,bsad,bsik,bsak,bset etc
7.Tables starting with USR* belong to user data
8.Tables starting with TSP* belong to Spool data
9.Tables starting with P* belongs to PP module
plko,plpo
10. Tables starting with Q* belongs to Quality managment
11,
Tables like KONV,KONP are cross client and relates to pricing

Cross Reference within external Database using XREF API

Hi Experts,
Can we do Cross Reference within external Database using XREF API uses JDBC to access the Oracle Database Stored Procedures in SAP PI? How to use a JNDI Data source to access the DB and how to do the Connection Pooling will be done by the SAP J2EE server? Kindly let me know step by step proceedings.
Regards
Archana

Hello Archana,
It can be done with a Lookup call in a mapping.
Here's a little article about the topic in the SAP wiki:

ODI : how to raise cross reference error before loading into Essbase?

Hi John .. if you read my post, I want to say that you impress me! really, thank for your blog.
Today, my problem is :
- I received a bad quality data file from ERP extract
- I have cross reference table (Source ==> Target)
- >> How to raise the error before loading into Essbase !
My Idea is the following, (first of all, I'm not sure if it is a good one, and also I meet issue to do it in ODI !)
- Step 1 : make JOIN between data.txt and cross-reference Table ==> Create a table DATA_STEP1 in the ODISTAGING schema (the columns of DATA_STEP1 are the addition of columns of data.txt those of cross-references Tables (... there is more than 20 columns in my case)
- Step 2 : Control if there is no NULL value in the Target Column (NULL means that the data.txt file contains value that are not defined in my cross reference Table) by using Filter ( Filter = Target_Account IS NULL or Target_Entity IS NULL or ...)
The result of this interface is send to reject.txt file - if reject.txt file is not empty then a mail is sent to the administrator
- Step 3 : make the opposite : Filter NOT (Target_Account IS NULL or Target_Entity IS NULL ... ) ==> the result is sent in DATA_STEP3 Table
- Step 4 : run properly the mapping : source : DATA_STEP3 (the clean and verified data !) with cross reference Tables and send data into Essbase - NORMALY, there is not rejected record !
My main problem is : what is the right IKM to send data into the DATA_STEP1, or DATA_STEP3 Table, which are Oracle Table in my ODISTAGING Schema ! I thy with IKM Oracle Incremental Update but I get error, and actually I don't need an update (which is time consumming), I just need an INSERT !
I'm just lookiing for an 'IKM SQL to Oracle" ....
regards
xavier

Thanks john : very speed !
I understood better now which IKM is useful.
I found other information about the error followup with ODI : http://blogs.oracle.com/dataintegration/2009/10/did_you_know_that_odi_generate.html
and I decided to activate Integrity Constorl in ODI :
I load :
- data.txt in ODITEMP.T_DATA
- transco_account.csv in ODITEMP.T_TRANSCO_ACCOUNT
- transco_entity.csv in ODITEMP.T_TRANSCO_ENTITY
- and so on ...
- Moreover I create integrity constraints between T_DATA and T_TRANSCO_ACCOUNT and T_TRANSCO_ENTITY ... so I expected that ODI will raise for me in E$_DATA (the error table) the bad records !
However I have one issue when loading data.txt into T_DATA because I have no ID or Primary Key ... I read in a training book that I could use a SEQUENCE ... I try but unsuccessful ... :-(
Is there another simple way to create a Primary Key automaticaly (T_DATA is in an oracle Schema of course) ?thanks in advance

Cross-enterprise integration of SAP GRC Access Control with PeopleSoft

Friends,
Does anybody has/have/had the owner to implement Cross-enterprise integration of SAP GRC Access Controls 5.2 with PeopleSoft ?
If yes, what are the key points and approach one should keep in mind while going for this kind of cross-enterprise implementation.
Is there any reference material, blog, wiki or such informative resource regarding cross enterprise GRC implementation available on the web?
I tried to search, but could not get good results.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Amol Bharti

Amol-
From my experience:
CC 5.2 with Peoplesoft: as long as you have the RTA's installed in the Peoplesoft system and create the connectors in CC, you are good to go.
AE 5.2 with Peoplesoft: cannot provision to Peoplesoft, however you can connect with Peoplesoft HR for Password Self-Service. You have the capability to provision to SAP HR.
FF 5.2 with Peoplesoft: N/A
RE 5.2 with Peoplesoft: N/A
I am not sure if there are any standalone docs out there for AC integration with Peoplesoft. And the 5.2 manuals have sparse information on integration. However, the AC 5.3 manuals have more detailed info on the integration piece with various other non-SAP systems.
Sorry, I couldn't share more info, as that is all I know for now...

How to Map in SAP ?

Hi
My client is Automobile industry.In the presales process my company delivers the goods to the dealer.On transit the goods are damaged.Instead of returning the goods the dealer him self repairs the goods and sends the credit memo to the company.The company will send the engineer for inspection and give the clearance certificate for the dealer.With reference to this we have to create the credit the customer.
How to Map it SAP....?
Plz send me the reply
Regard's
Prasad.

Dear Prasad,
As you r not taking d goodS back (or dealer is not sending them back) thus it's not a case of a Returns. Also there is no issue with d invoice either thus even Invoice Corrrection Request will not b generated.
Thus it's a simple case of creating a Credit Memo Request for the required amount i.e the amount claimed 2 b spent by d dealer. This will obviously have a block which can b removed by d engineer who went for inspection (or some1else depending on d working of d organisation). Once the billing block is removed the dealer can b issued a Credit Memo in d usual way.
Hope it answers ur query.

Cross Reference, Paragraph Style conflict?

I'm created an epub file and have a cross reference for one of my chapter titles. When I export it to ADE the final product has the cross reference in the file but the paragraph style for the text that I linked lost all of it's styling somehow. The paragraph style is supposed to be centered and have space after it but it is completely gone but the code is still in the xhtml file.
I have opened the xhtml file and cannot see where the issue is. Has anyone else had this problem exporting from CS4? If so, how do you fix it?
Thank you so much!

According to the FM7 Help, the variables for background text frame use might be:
<$paranumonly[paratag]>
to pick up the first instance on a page, and
<$paranumonly[+,paratag]>
to pick up the last.
The "+," bit is the key. I've never tried it myself.
This presumably also assumes that the paras of interest all have the same format name.

TCS2 - FrameMaker Cross-reference formats completely ignored...

In RoboHelp I have changed all my cross-reference formats to <paratext>. However, this mapping seems to be completely ignored. What file drives these styles? I can run a template in FrameMaker to strip out the page numbers and autonumbers, but this setup should work in RoboHelp.
Anyone having the same problem?
Thanks,

I think you need to use <$paratext> in the FM to RH mapping (via the edit button)

How to use the Cross Reference fields in P4P

I have been receiving questions related to the Cross Reference section from many different customers and partners. This post represents my attempt to describe the Cross Reference Section and the Equivalent Numbers stored within.
Identity
A term that Kelly uses and I will borrow is “identity”. A given specification can have many identities. The basic identity is the specification number generated by GSM. This is useful during early stages of design. Once we get past a draft or development status in the workflow the organization quickly wants to identify the specification in other ways. Examples include:
Execution System Number: Operations and Supply Chain quickly need to formalize an item or material for forecasting, inventory and purchasing…
Custom Numbering Conventions: Sometimes an organization has very specific custom logic for identifying materials. Usually terms like smart numbering are used to describe their methods.
Data Migration Identifier: In some cases customers have extensive data clean up projects. As part of the effort systems and processes are developed and an identity is created. In my experience we loaded a “Base Stock” number to represent Packaging Materials. The label stock that was commonly used was historically not represented so we created a number as part of the migration project.
Identity Functionality:
The Fields: The four major fields that make up the Cross Reference section are as follows:
>>System Name: This field describes the system generating the identifier. Examples I like to use are Oracle EBS or SAP Material Master. Sometimes geography must also be concatenated to the system, i.e. Oracle EBS – NA. This occurs when the customer is a large multinational where multiple ERP implementations exist. Therefore the same material may be known by many different numbers, i.e. Oracle EBS – NA = 77432, Oracle EBS – EU = 88883.
>>System Code: The system code is merely the syntax used during integration. Using CSS or various APIs you may chose to identify the system using an abbreviation, EBSNA or SAPMM.
>>Equivalent: The value representing the identity within a given system.
>>Externally Managed: If you are using CSS or an API to receive Cross Reference data you can define the field as "Externally Manged". When a cross reference is marked in this manner the general user community will not be able to edit the field. Administrators associated with the role [Externally_Managed_Cross_Ref_Admin] can edit the field if needed.
Syndication: While some users enter equivalent numbers manually, others use integration tools to generate and transmit identities. If a given cross reference is marked as “Externally Managed” then users are unable to manually enter data. On initial syndication the specification will not have a given equivalent. The specification is sent to middleware, a number is generated by the appropriate system and the response is sent back to GSM to add the System Code to the specification with the appropriate identity value.
Copy verses Issue:
>>Copy: When a user copies a specification the Cross Reference data is NOT included. Since the identities refer to the originating specification it does not make sense to carry over to the copy. If we did then users would quickly need to delete the data.
>>Issue: When a user issues a specification it maintains the Cross Reference data. This is an important concept because it is expected that a system like GSM will have many issues related to a single ERP #. ERP systems are usually not interested in many of the fields stored in the Product Data Management system.
Reference: As raw materials are consumed as inputs into Formulation or Trade Specifications the organization may come to identify the materials based on equivalent numbers. Therefore GSM allows for an equivalent number to appear next to the GSM number.
Implementation Issue: Ingredients In Packaged Quantities
Some customers run into a situation where the ingredient specification does not represent a packaged quantity. From an R&D perspective the developer does not care if the material comes in a box or a tanker. In this situation the GSM ingredient may be represented in the ERP system by many items and therefore more than one cross reference value. These items represent packaging differences that are important to purchasing, manufacturing, warehousing, and other execution systems.
I hope this helps describe some of the purposes and implementation issues around the Cross Reference field.

You need to get jmf.jar in your CLASSPATH, either on the command line, in an environment variable, by putting a symlink in $JAVA_HOME/lib/ext, whatever works for you. Have you done that? Once it's in the classpath, you can run jmstudio from any directory with the command "java JMStudio".
Items in the bin directory are just shell scripts, run with "sh jmstudio" or whatever suits your shell (on Mac OS X, copy one of these guys and append ".command" to the filename to make him double-clickable in the Finder).

Hi,
yes, Karsten is correct. Just some background:
"User Mapping not fully available.." finally means that user mapping is configured to use strong encryption, but the main crypto key for user mapping is missing. Usually, that's because "SAP Java Cryptographic Toolkit" and/or "JCE policy files for unlimited strength encryption" are not installed (or the server hasn't be restarted afterwards). The note will most likely help

TCS2 - Cross References between linked Frame files not working

Hi,
All the cross-references in my linked in FrameMaker 9 files work when output in PDF, however, when outputting WebHelp from RoboHelp 8, FrameMaker cross references that reference another FrameMaker file (i.e. not Current) do not work. The format is correct, they appear blue and underlined like every other link/cross-reference, but when moused over in the browser, there's no link to click. The HTML created by RoboHelp does not point to a file. For example, here's the HTML for one link not working as shown from within RoboHelp:
   •   <a>Create Supported App from
Install</a>.
RoboHelp appears to partially convert the link as appears in the HTML but I think there should be more information in the <a> definition, such as in the HTML created for a link that references a topic created from the same FrameMaker file.
   •   <a
 href="#XREF_17096_Creating_an">Creating an App</a>
I've ensured all the cross-references in each framemaker file in the book have the same format and are mapped to <$paratext> in the project settings. I've also tried importing the FrameMaker book instead of linking it and the same problem persists.
Any ideas on how to make RoboHelp create the link correctly? Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Jacquie Finney

Most of the major cross reference issues have been resolved in TCS 2 with further improvements in TCS 3.
Please ensure that you have all the patches of TCS 2 installed on your system.
If the issue is still there, there could be an altogether different reason for cross reference not working or the issue might have been fixed in TCS 3.
The reason or workaround can be analysed once the sample files with the issues are provided.
It will be great if you could share a small sample FM document containing the cross reference and target having the issue. If the cross reference is across documents, then a FrameMaker book along with its FM files can be shared in a zip format.
You can mail the documents to me at magrawalATadobeDOTcom

Maintaining internal word cross references in word import

I'm using RoboHelp 9.0.1 trying to import Word 2007 (docx) in order to generate a WebHelp. I have adjusted my style mapping in order generate an appropriate TOC with books and matching sub chapters, which works fine. However, internal Word cross references from the original Word document are not transformed into hyperlinks.
I have already tried/verified the following:
- The "convert cross references to hyperlink" option is checked in the RH-Word import settings.
- I also tried fiddling with the Framemaker options as it is suggested in another thread (see beneath), with no success.
- Within the Word source document I tried both options with "use hyperlinks instead" when creating cross references.
- The RH-HTML source, in all of my attempts, does not show any links in the corresponding locations.
What may I be missing here? According to another, similar thread, the feature should work and is really not that challenging:
"RH9 - Can not create ANY links in linked Word documents"
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/854095?tstart=0

In my testing, I got a link in the RH topic, but it wanted to launch the target Word doc instead of jumping to the desired RH topic. I'd say this sounds like a bug - so go ahead and report it.

Cross-references slow ID5 down

I'm using ID5 (7.0.2) on Win XP.
I'm editing a 10 document book and as soon as I started cross-references the editing became unbearably slow - every character takes a second to update and hard drive is constantly in use.
Performance is set to fast, live update disabled, hyphenation is off, etc. etc., but no luck.
As a test, I copied one of the documents and deleted cross-references - the speed returned to normal even at high quality display and live redraw.
Any ideas how to resolve the issue? Any chance of switching updating cross-references off? Any good advise is appreciated.
An update: it seems that only cross-references that point to the external files cause the delay - I've got the impression that ID5 tries to open, update and close all the referenced files after every key stroke!
As an addition test, I opened all referenced files at once and - voila! - almost no delay (only due to the immense usage of memory by the opened documents).
I still would appreciate if anyone knows how to switch off dynamic cross-reference update.

[EDIT] I saw your update. It's pretty clear that the trade-off is using memory to keep files open and gain speed, or saving memory and working slowly. Perhaps a compromise would be to open only those files referred to from the file you're editing? [/EDIT]
Have you seen any improvement when you close the book and unused files, and edit one file at a time? I believe the changed x-refs should update when you reopen them and the book.
If you are a very patient person, you can file a feature change request at https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform, and someday, perhaps, InDesign will offer the option to switch live x-ref updates off.
If you're in a production-deadline situation, you may want to look at the commercial InDesign Cross-References Pro plug-in from dtptools.com. It can convert your existing InDesign x-refs to its own, quickly, and it has the option to turn live x-ref updates on/off.h
