Letter case in SAP import manager

Hi,
We are facing a strange issue with SAP import manager. we have the value 'n' for a field in XML file. when we tried to open the XML file through import manager, in map/value fields tab, the value is showing up as 'N' for that field where as it is correctly showing up as 'n' for that field in source preview tab. In the XML file, we have the values 'o', 'e', 'n' for that field. The remaining letters are showing up correctly in map/value fields tab and we are facing issue with letter 'n'.
Could you please assist on this. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Pradeep Kumar

Hi Pradeep,
Can you check whether any value converstion filter (Replace) is set for that particulat field where you are getting this error. if so just choose none for value converstion to source field,save map updates and reload the xml file.
for eg: by using replace command the values can be changed.
Thank you
Rahul

Upload of Test Cases in SAP Solution Manager.

Hello,
I am trying to create a project and its component in SAP Solution Manager with 12 Test Plans. The Test Plans have different number of test cases. I do not have the Test cases now, but I shall have them in future. I currently have the following data.
Test Plan ID
Module
Business Process
Business Area
Sub Business Area
Test Case Description
Test Case Details
Transaction Codes
Priority of Test Cases
Can I create a structure of a project in the development system in which I have 12 Test Plans and n number of Test Cases under every Test Plan? The structure would have place holder for each test case in which I can upload the Test Cases later. Is that possible?
Regards,
Namrata.

Hi Namrata,
Yes, you can create project structure before using solar01 tcode. later once your test cases (either manual or automatic) are ready then you can upload them using solar02 on test cases tab,
refer Link Test Case to Transactions/Reports - Configuration - SAP Library

How to set up approval process for test case in SAP solution manager?

Hi Experts,
We need to setup a 2 level approval process for test case documents in SAP Solution Manager.
e.g. If test case document is uploaded for transaction "MM01" then first it will go to Reviewer1. Once Reviewer1 approves it , should go to Reviewer2.
Adn finally once reviewer2 approves it , it will be complete.
What are the required configurations and steps for approval process setup? It will be helpful if screenshots and detailed steps are provided.
Thanks.
regards,
Sanjana

Hi,
the above requirement we are going develop add on.below code is there. in this code how we can set for line level amount instead of document total amount

        Try
            Select Case sCondition
                Case "Deviation from Credit Limit"

Import Manager MDM 3.0 Updating old Maps

Dear MDM Catalog gurus,
After having upgraded from MDM 2.0 to MDM 3.0 the maps have to be
updated in Import Manager.
1.
When trying to update MDM import Maps in the new "SAP Import Manager" messages
like
- "There are multiple roots for the XML Schema. Please select the correct one" or
- "There are multiple path for Table "ARTICLE". Please select the correct one"
come up.
What exactly do we have to do? What is the root of an XML-Schema? Can
I find that in Console or by looking into "old" Maps with the old Import Manager?
I saved the old Schema files from Console before upgrading to MDM 3.0.
Now when I open this old XML-Schema file with an editor, where can I
find e.g. the "old" root node.
2.
What happens if I say "No" I don't want to update the old Import Maps
when starting Import Manager.
Then all old Maps are gone and I have to recreate them. But does this
have an effect on the further upgrading process to MDM 3.0? Will the
old repositories work under MDM 3.0 after having sais NO?
Any idea?
Thanks a lot for your help in advance.
Best regards,
Henning

Hi there,
thanks for that hints, but this does not really help.
I already read a lot of sap links, but don't really get a solution where I can find information about where to find the rood node (or what it is) or information to former paths.
Is there perhaps anybody how also made an upgrade from MDM Catalog 2.0 to 3.0 with similar experience?
Thanks in advance,
best regards,
Henning

Where to upload test case results in SAP Solution Manager?

Hi Experts,
I am new to test management module in SAP Solution Manager. I need to know where to upload test case results in sap solution manager.
Please provide screenshots on how to upload test results.
Regards,
Sanjana

Hi Sanjan,
let me provide you some more information.
First of all you create a SAP Solution Manager Project in Transaction SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN. I think this should be no problem. After creating the Project, make sure that the tap "Test Cases" is switched on in this project. The tap "Test Cases" is the tap below "Project Standards".
Go to transaction "solar02" and choose your created project. Find the tap "Test Cases" and upload a sample file. Please note that the configuration structure of this project can be configured in solar01 (Business Blueprint). There are many settings you can choose in a project regarding ti your requirements. Try to find them out! :-)
In transaction Test Plan Management (STWB_2) you can choose all relevant test cases you uploaded in your project and generate Test Packages which are mapped to your choosen Testers.
In Transaction stwb_work you will see the testers workbench.

then error ocurred.
"Unable to connect to source"
I aleady checked to connect to the Oracle database with Oracle client.
It is connected well.
How can I connect ??
thanks and regards
jun

Hi all,
thank you for your replies.
I tried to connect oracle DB except "< and >" symbol but It did not work.
I installed windowXP 32bit , Oracle client 32bit and SAP MDM Import manager 32bit in My local PC.
Also I connect to MDM DB using sqlplus in My local PC.
I wonder that TNSNAME.ORA is used DB connection using SAP MDM Import manager ??
I think TNSNAME.ORA is not used when I connect to DB using SAP MDM Import manager because I enter parameters are properties of TNSNAME.ORA.
I don`t know why don`t connect to DB.

Alternative Performance Visualizations in SAP Strategy Management

A question frequently posed to the SAP Strategy Management solution management team is u201Cu2026beyond scorecards and strategy maps, are there other ways within SSM that I can visualize my organizationu2019s performance?u201D The answer is yes.
The SSM Strategy page allows you to create and display up to three goal diagrams. Typically SSM users will just create a strategy diagram (the most common type of goal diagram) and let the other two goal diagram place holders go unused. However, with a little ingenuity the other two goal diagrams could be put to very good use.
Using the goal diagram manager on the SSM Administration console you can import custom images (e.g. Adobe Illustrator or MS Visio images) into the SSM Strategy page. Once a custom image has been imported, hotspots can be mapped on top of the image that allow you to view the status and details of scorecard objects in relation to the image. Hotspots can be created for Contexts, Perspectives, Objectives, and KPIs (KPI hotspots are new in SSM 7.0). For each hotspot location a status indicator is displayed reflecting the Red/Yellow/Green status of the scorecard object. When the hotspot is clicked, details for the scorecard object are displayed in a dropdown box.
So if, for example, you have created contexts for different geographic regions within the United States, you could import a map of the United States and then map context hotspots that allow you to easily view your organizationu2019s performance across geographic regions. So, on your US Map goal diagram you might see a green status icon over California, red over Boston, Yellow over Florida, etc. indicating your organizationu2019s performance in those regions.
Other custom goal diagram examples include:
- Organization charts that show the performance of different divisions / groups within your organization
- Process flow diagrams that show performance of different elements of a business or production process
- Initiative / project summaries that show the performance of multiple initiatives
For more information on how to manage custom diagrams in SSM, view the Help topic u201CGoal Diagramsu201D within the SSM Administration console.

Import Manager and Display Fields

I've been using SRM-MDM 3.0 for a couple of months and 1 fundamental MDM design has always bothered me and I was hoping to get some resolve on this.
The purpose of Display Field is 2 folds:
1. Display the field in the Catalog Search UI for a lookup table: i.e. if both Supplier Name and ID are Display Fields, then in the Search UI, both fields are displayed to the end-user. If only Supplier ID was the display field, then in the UI only the ID is displayed.
- From a usability pov, tables such as Supplier and Product Group should have the name or description fields displayed in the Search UI as the numeric values are meaningless to the end-users.
2. Display field ALSO affect what is the key used to import data into a table. So if Supplier ID is the display field for Supplier table, then in Import Manager, the Supplier ID values are displayed and must be mapped to the source values.
- From an importing pov, mapping values should always be an index-like field, such as Supplier ID or Product Group ID, or ISO, and usually never the actual name or description field.
But SAP has tied the two together. So in order to display the name/description to the end-user, we must enable the name/description field as a Display Field. But we also want to map based on the index/ID field, so we also enable the index/ID field as a Display Field. Now in Import Manager, we have two Display Fields for a table (i.e. Supplier ID and Supplier Name for Supplier table) and I've noticed some issues with this:
1. You import file must have BOTH values (index/ID and the name/description fields) in the source, in order to Automap. If your source file only has 1 field, like in MECCM when extracting ECC contract, ONLY the Supplier ID, or Category ID is extracted, Automap is not possible. What is funny is that standard SAP extract program only extracts the ID fields, BUT the standard SAP repository has the name/description fields as the Display Field. Automap is a must for tables like Product Group where hundreds of lines can make manual mapping a pain.
2. I also noticed you cannot Add values to a table that has 2 Display Fields, you can only map to existing values. The Add button is grayed out.
With all that said, when you're replication ECC Contract Data using MECCM, for tables like Supplier and Product Group, what fields should be set as Display Fields, and if there are multiple Display Fields, what special setting needs to be done in Import Manager to enable automapping? Even standard SAP Import Map (_MDMContractDataTransmission_ProductID) throws errors when multiple fields are set as Display Fields.
I'm not familiar with the partitioning function, and I've seen PDF's about it, but don't really see how it could be helpful. I've also read someone suggesting changing the DF's before import, which I think is unacceptable, as this requires unloading/loading repositories everytime an import happens.
Thanks for reading my paragraph and any input is greatly appreciated.
Edited by: Derek Xu on Apr 30, 2009 6:50 PM

Hi Derek,
Thanks for writing your thoughts. I would like to provide some information on one of your points where in you have mentioned that :
You import file must have BOTH values (index/ID and the name/description fields) in the source, in order to Automap. If your source file only has 1 field, like in MECCM when extracting ECC contract, ONLY the Supplier ID, or Category ID is extracted, Automap is not possible.
I completely agree that if you have 2 fields in MDM repository and you are only importing only one of them, then you cannot use the Automap feature of Import Manager. So in your case, the description is not getting importing, so you cannot use Automap in that case.
I had a very similar requirement in one of my project and we went with creation of a Import Value template. We created a template with all the possible values for all the look up tables in that and mapped it once in the Map. Hence, next time, the Map was used to automatically Map the source and Destination values for all the look up tables.

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80ad0cff-19ef-2b10-54b7-d4c7eb4390dd
Please read the above article and hope its useful. You can go for this approach in your case if suitable.
I have mentioned examples of descriptions and their respective fields in the article.
Hope it helps.

1                           C
While importing i got an error stating that Import failed. The destination record was referred to by multiple source records. Duplicate source records should be merged before importing them.
Import action: Update (All Mapped Fields)Source record no: 1
But in this case my key field is Category based on category then these 3 records will be 3 different records.
Please let me know the use of Set Key field in the Import Manager and how it works?

Hi,
It's not about set of key field in MDM Import Manager but the reason is that you can not select more than 1 category(Lookup Taxonomy) in maintable for one record. thats why error is coming because for this Property Multi-valued always No.
Even, you can try this in Data Manager manually create three Category A, B and C in taxonomy mode on selecting Sub table Categories, then on selecting main table, when you select category field(which is lookup to categories table)for a particular record you could able to select only one category A, B or C.
i would suggest make a Attribute of type text having three values A, B and C and mark this as Multi-Valued in Attribute Detail and link this Attribute with your category. in this way you can attach three values A, B and C with your Record.
Other thing you can do,make this category field as (Lookup Hierarchy not lookup taxonomy) in main table to Subtable(Hierarchy) then for this field in main table you can set Property Multi-valued = Yes in MDM console and then after Import using MDM Import Manager finally only one record will get created in Data Manager as:
Name Category
1         A;B;C
Hope it will Help you,
Rewards if Useful.....

Mapping in Import manager

Hi,
I have a basic doubt in Import manager.
While mapping source to destination. We select main table in the destination and mapp with the file import as source.
Suppose my main table is vendor and source table is vendor i ahve mapped all the fields and values from source to destination .Then i have bank detail as flat table which also have 4-5 fields shall i ahve to map this also to the source system By selecting the bank detail flat table as the destination and .
Or i have to mapp only the main table of the destination system to the source system.
Thanks,
Rohit

Hi Rohit,
As you said that all the fields in the source and the destination are mapped, so i dont think so you require to map the bank details from other source table; in case you want to add alos you can, as you can map only one table with one; it maintain only one to one relationship. In case you have some fileds left out in your destination table to be mapped with fields in other table than just use lookup and join to get the data of bank source table into vendor source table, by this you will have all the bank fields and vendor fields in one table as vendor and you can easily map all the fields from one source table to one destionation.
In case you want to know something else please let me know.

Ganesh, please see [Note 1346052 - Connecting to source Import Manager error message|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1346052].
The " has special meanings in import manager and can only be used in pairs. If the first character of a field is a ", then there has to be another one in the same field. Or you can remove it alltogether.
