Matching Criteria

Hi,
I only have a German OWB 11.2. I cannot find where I can set the matching criteria for an item. So I got the error:
Wenn ein Attribut in den Übereinstimmungskriterien nicht zugeordnet ist, kann die Übereinstimmungsbedingung nicht bestimmt werden. Damit die Attribute ( PRD_ID) für die Übereinstimmung verwendet werden können, müssen diese für PRODUCT_DIM zugeordnet werden. Um ein Attribut in den Übereinstimmungskriterien zu deaktivieren, setzen Sie "Aktualisieren: Für Übereinstimmung verwenden" auf "Nein".
Can anyone tell me where I can set these criteria (best in german and english)?
Thank you for your help

Invoice Verification - GRIV and standard R3 matching criteria

Hi,
I am asking what I think is a straightforward question, but has proven difficult to answer so far!
My organisation is reviewing our SAP R3 invoice match criteria, but first we need to establish what they are.
Is SAP standard GR-IV invoice verification as simple as:
1. PO number matches the one on the invoice
2. GRN quantity is less than or equal to invoiced quantity
3. PO line item price is more than or equal to invoiced quantity, or within our tolerance
4. Delivery note number on GR needs to match the one on the invoice
Are there any other fundamental matching criteria that we may be missing?
In addition, we are considering turning off the GRIV flag for certain types of vendors (those providing us with services, for which match criteria 4. above will never match due to there being no delivery note). What are the differences in matching that will occur if we do this? - I have not been able to establish from my research whether a Goods Receipt is still required for the invoice to match if GRIV is turned off, for example...
Thanks,
Peter

This calls for ABAP support .... if you are really interested to it on your own ... try SAP Query that should help you out ... Cheers !!!

Auto-reconcilitation Missing matching criteria

Hi,
In oracle apps 11i , manual reconcilation for bank statements is done by the user. On the attempt to try Autoreconciliation program the statement lines had the error"Missing matching criteria " in the AutoReconciliation Execution Report.
I have found in the cash mangement user manual the following:
The statement line needs at least one of the following criteria to
match, and all are missing: 1) transaction number; 2) invoice
number and agent name; 3) invoice number and agent bank
account.
But I do not know how to do any of the 3 points above because the bank statement lines entered either manually or uploaded through the interface consist of the following information only:
POST DATE, VALUE DATE , DR AMOUNT , CR AMOUNT,and BANK TRANSACTION CODE
What do we have to do to use the auto-reconciliation program?

Hi,
We can request bank to provide us information of Transaction number.
Say a Cheque pmt or receipt is cleared by the bank, the reference of Chk is captured by Bank. These numbers shall be available to you on request along with Bank Transaction Code.

"VLD-2750: Missing update matching criteria in TARGET_TABLE"

Jean Pierre,
I changed the logical key to the setting you said and I am able to see the merge statement, however when I do the validation I am now getting :"VLD-2750: Missing update matching criteria in TARGET_TABLE".
Any ideas?
Thanks,
AK

There are two ways of matching incomming rows with rows present in a target table during updates. One is to use the key constraints. You can see this by inspecting the target object properties in the mapping and checking the 'Match by constraint' parameter. This is recommended in case you have defined key constraints on the target objects.
The other (if match by constraints is set to 'no constraints') is to set the Match Column when Updating to yes (and conversely, Load Column when Updating to 'No') for individual columns that have to be matched (as sugested above).
If you get the VLD-2750 message, it means that one of the target objects does not have any matching criteria set for updates. In an insert/update mapping you should use either the first or the second matching method for all your target objects.

VLD-2750 Misseng updata matching criteria in TABLE_NAME

Hi,
I am trying to create map that populates a fact table. I choose the option INERT/UPDATE. I can't deploy this map because of this error.
Thanks in advance,
Catarina Chaves

To update a row in the target (since you selected INSERT/UPDATE) you need a matching criteria to check whether the incomming row exists in the fact table. This criteria must either be defined with 'Match by constraint' if you have defined key constraints in the source and target modules (primary and foreign keys), or by setting a field in the target table property 'Update use for matching' to yes.
In other words, how can owb know which rows from the input data set to use for insert and and which to use for update? There has to be a criteria that will mark an incomming row as existing in the fact table (in this case, an update will be performed) or new (in this case an insert will be performed).
It seems that you have not defined the parameters setting this criteria and therefore you cannot deploy your mapping.

Igor

VLD-2754 - attributes of update matching criteria are not mapped

For some reason, when we define a cube that uses a particular dimension, the mapping always fails with the error:
"If an attribute is used in the matching criteria but is not mapped, then the matching condition cannot be determined. For the attributes (DIM_CT) to be used for matching, they must be mapped for TEST_CUBE. To deselect an attribute as a matching criteria, set Update Use For Matching to No."
I can't seem find an option for Update Use For Matching. On my source table, I have some options for matching keys but I don't understand exactly how that pertains to the mapping target.

Hi,
You must be dealing with an update, upsert or insert update mapping here. Check the attribute properties of the fields on your target table. You should find the 'Update Use For Matching' property there.

It´s possible? or is something wrong?
Thanks a lot for your help

Hi,
When you have it in the global policy you only H323 H225 or you also have H323 ras?

ITunes Match unable to match?

I enabled match yesterday. About 3,800 songs were recognised straight away.
About 600 were not recognised so had to be uploaded but it was stuff from CD rips like The Beatles - Let It Be. This is currently available in iTunes and I used the grace note database originally, which is part of iTunes, to recognise these tracks and others for listing info and album images.
Seems the option to simply upload you tracks, 14 hours worth at 90KB at second, is too easily used.
Also, can you prompt your uploaded cloud data to be replaced with Apple's version? My CDs are old recordings of The Beatles, prior to the remastered versions of the CDs.

I will be surprised if we don't get the forced upload option in the future. There isn't any downside that I can see for Apple, and with The Beatles being affected I imagine they are getting quite a bit of feedback on it.
It is also an issue for a lot of people with songs matching with clean versions.
I wouldn't want it to result in a relaxing of the match criteria though. Whilst it would be handy to be able to force an upload, most people aren't going to check the matches until they listen to them. I've signed up for this service so that I can listen to my music away from home, so it will still be annoying if I'm trying to listen to an album and I find that there are odd versions of the songs included. The fact that I may be able to clean it up later isn't going to help the listening experience at the time. I suspect that Apple would be inundated with complaints if that was happening a lot.
Apple are marketing this as having your collection online, not some rough representation of your collection.
Some people are also suggesting a "forced match" option, which is extremely unlikely, as it will give people the option of saying that those 30 random tracks in their library are actually The White Album. I can't imagine the Record Companies allowing that, and I suspect that you were right that the industry may have had some say in the matching procedure being quite tight.

How do you lookup multiple values in different columns based on variable criteria?

Essentially, I'd like to be able to do a Vlookup but instead of searching for one value only, search for multiple values in separate columns. A smaller version of my current spreadsheet as an example...
Attack Type ->
Fire
Water
Grass
Fire
1/2x
2x
1/2x
Water
1/2x
1/2x
2x
Grass
2x
1/2x
1/2x
Fire/Water
1/4x
1x
1x
Fire/Grass
1x
1x
1/4x
Grass/Water
1x
1/4x
1x
The headers are the attack types and the list of types to the left are the receiving Pokemon. Fire does half damage (1/2x) to fire types, Water does double damage (2x) to fire types, etc. I'd like to be able to search for specific damages for each type. For example, I'd like to find a Typing that recieves half (1/2x) damage from Fire-type attacks but also recieves double (2x) from Grass-type attacks. I do want more than just two search criteria though seeing as the actual table is much, much larger.
I've tried assigning number values to each damage multiplier and then merging all of them together for a specific typing and doing a VLOOKUP based on checkboxes determining what damage multiplier I want in a few specific types, the rest being filled in to the standard of 1x but the result isn't correct most of the time.

Hi Mitchell,
VLOOKUP can be set for accept either an 'exact match' or a 'close match'. Your 17 digit 'number' is actually a 17 character text string (Numbers can handle numbers to a precision of only 15 places). Provided all 17 digits are present, sorting should be the same as for numerical values—the leftmost character is the most significant.
As a text string, your 'number' is sorted/evaluated alphabetically. A 'close match' accepts the 'largest value that is less than or equal to the search value'.
If your search term is 000200000 (a 9 character string), several 'wrong' answers will fit the 'close match' criteria, including all of those listed below:
000200000 (the 'correct' match)
0000xxxxx (x may be any of the three acceptable values)
0001xxxxx (x may be any of the three acceptable values)
The main problem here is that digits in a number (or characters in a text string) have decreasing significance related to their distance from the beginning of the string/number. You want a search in which each character has the same significance as each of the others when compared to the search key. To do that, you need to compare each character in the search string with the character in the same position in the similar string for each type of Pokemon, then take a count of the matches or a sum of the differences.
Here's one approach:
Column A contains labels.
Column B, the 17 digit search term, created in whatever manner you wish, and the similar 17 digit string for each of the characters.
Columns C through S contains a formula that detines, using subtraction, the difference between each digit of the search term and the corresponding digit of each character's profile.
Column C uses SUM() to calculate the total of columns C to S for each row.
T1 uses =MIN(T) to calculate "least different" profile.
Column A is a Header column; Row 1 is a Header row.
Formulas:
C2, and filled right to S2, then down to the last row of data:
=ABS(MID($B$1,COLUMN()-2,1)-MID($B2,COLUMN()-2,1))
T1: =MIN(T)
T2, and filled down column T: =SUM(C2:S2)
The conditional formatting rule set for all body cells in column T is shown below the table.
This may be enough to get you started. Formulas can be tweaked to produce results more closely matching what you're looking for, if necessary.

Barry

Import Manager - Match records clarification

Hi
In the Import Manager, Match records I would like to have two different fields as match criteria, where I want to gave OR condition betweeen them, how do I achieve the same.
quick response would be appreciated.
thanks & regards
Alexander

In the Import Manager under the tab "Match Records" all possible matching fields are listed in the "Mapped destination fields" box. With double click you can define them as matching fields, they show up then in the "Matching fields" box. An "OR" combination of fields exists, when each entry is displayed in a separate line, an "AND" combination of fields exists, when two entries are displayed in the same line. You can acchieve this by marking entries and pressing then the buttons "Combine" => two entries in one line or "SPlit" => each entry in one line.
After changing the entries, the matching is started again. In the matching results, you can see then, whether records have a 100% match (each of the selected fields) or a partial/conflict match. Partial and conflict matches mean, that at least one of the compared fields match.
This is described in detail in the Data Manager Guide.
Hope, this helps, Klaus

DRG-11110: matches does not support functional invocation

Hi all,
We are working on the some prototype and we hit this road block.
When 'matches' was included with other conditions in query and used in pl/sql we are getting this error.
Oracle Text error: DRG-11110: matches does not support functional invocation
We tried including the hint /*+ index(t2 t2x) */ * (t2 table and t2x index ) in query but it didn't help.
The query works fine from SQL developer, but included in pl/sql gives the error 9 out of 10times.
Is there something that anyone can help
Regards,
Chaitanya.

The optimizer tends to choose functional invocation, which will cause the query to fail, when the structured portion of the query is most restrictive. So you will need to stop it from selecting what might otherwise be the most efficient plan at the times when you might have otherwise gained the most performance benefit from it. You want to try to force the optimizer to use the domain index to select the rows based on the matches criteria first, then evaluate the other conditions. You will need to experiment with things like your date filter to see if that causes funcitonal invocation or not. It will depend on how restricitve that is, whether there is an index on the date column and whether there is a small enough amount of data to do a full table scan benficially. You might benefit from hints but the "rownum > 0" seems to have the most consistent effect. You can use "explain plan for" on a query that fails to see what it was trying to do. Notice the difference in the execution plans below for the first failed query and the second working query that uses the domain index.

Counting rows with multiple criteria

I know this is a silly beginner question, but is there an easy way to count the number of rows in a table which match criteria based on different columns (sort of a countif with multiple criteria). For example, if Column A in a table has "All, Some, None" responses and Column B has "Main, Off" responses, is there an easy way to count the number of rows in which Column A has All and Column B has Off?

From an intellectual and philosophical view I agree with you. But from a practical view what I really want to do is just use one application for my spreadsheet tasks, not jump back and forth because one sheet I share with MS Windows users, and another with Numbers users, and another with OS X users who don't have Numbers or Excel but do have NeoOffice. Maybe I have to settle for that though.
Yeah... this kind of situation stinks. Its like needing to writing software that will run on both Macs and PCs.
Anyway, I've followed the advise in this forum and resorted to using a hidden column with concatenated values to solve my own problem, though it does seem like a bit of a hack compared to managing a single formula in a single cell. Horses for courses I suppose.
jaxjason has posted a very elegant pivot table like solution that utilizes this technique. See http://www.numberstemplates.com/forums/showthread.php?t=36
Btw, from what I've read on the net to date, SUM (in Excel) with an array formula answers the original authors problem of counting occurrences of values, not SUMPRODUCT; which I believe sums up the contents of cells in a range, if cells in other ranges match specific criteria.
Yes, if you use the '*' (as indicated above) then SUM() is sufficient though SUMPRODUCT() will work as it degenerates to SUM when there is only one argument. If you use two arrays as arguments (like: = SUMPRODUCT((A1:A4="All"), (B1:B4="Off")), then SUMPRODUCT() is necessary. Here's my understanding of how it works (I hope your able to follow my abuse of algebraic techniques):
=SUM((A1:A4="All") * (B1:B4="Off"))
expanding the array expressions...
=SUM((A1="All", A2="All", A3="All", A4="All") * (B1="Off", B2="Off", B3="Off", B4="Off"))
at this point Excel computes the equality expressions, for example...
=SUM((TRUE, FALSE, TRUE, FALSE) * (TRUE, TRUE, FALSE, FALSE))
expanding the array multiplication...
=SUM((TRUE * TRUE, FALSE * TRUE, TRUE * FALSE, FALSE * FALSE))
Excel, apparently, then, when forced to multiply Boolean values, maps TRUE -> 1 and FALSE -> 0...
=SUM((1 * 1, 0 * 1, 1 * 0, 0 * 0))
performing the multiplications...
=SUM((1, 0, 0, 0))
summing...
=1 + 0 + 0 + 0
resulting...
=1
I'm afraid, now, if I continue any further, Yvan will chastise me.

1.5.4 p 2: Filtering triggers with more than one criteria does not return

I just recently installed SQL Dev 1.5.4.59.40 updated to patch 2 using JDK 1.6.0_06.
I did not migrate settings from a prior version but rather applied them manually.
When applying a filter to the triggers node of a connection, a single filter works fine, or a multiline filter with a match criteria of all works fine, but when choosing Match Any with multiple (in my case 2) match criteria the filtered list of triggers fails to display in a reasonable amount of time.
The same filter criteria works relatively quickly in SQL Dev 1.5.1.54.40.
The connection in question has 2661 triggers that belong to it's schema.
I don't percieve any lack of performance on Schemas with smaller numbers of triggers (~20 triggers)
Also similar filter criteria work well on:
<li> Tables: 1300
<li> Packages: 41000
<li> Views: 27000

What is the best way to match back 3rd party vendor data to our SQL Server Database?

So we have this 3rd party data that we need to match back to our database. We have determined that the "ID" column that the 3rd party is sending us back data is a concatenated key of our member's SSN, Gender, and CCYYMMDD Birthdate. In 90% of the
cases, we can match back on this. However, the other 10% we have to try a couple of different ways...using our Member #, using what is called a HFCA #.
We are talking about 10s and 20s of data here...NOT thousands.
What is the best way to handle this via SSIS? A SQL Server Stored Procedure to cursor through the 3rd party data or multiple INSERT-SELECT statements trying to marry back the data? My thought process was to cursor through each record, try and match on our
90% match, and then determine if we have a match or not, and then if we do not, then try our other means. Should I SELECT 1 to see which matching criteria to go with? So in other words, for the first match...
IF EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM TableName WHERE ColumnName1 = .....) BEGIN....ELSE...Blah Blah Blah
or simply continue doing INSERT-SELECTS...
I guess I am asking about the efficiency of using a cursor within a SQL Server Stored Procedure here.
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

You are asking a SSIS question but posted in tsql - which is it? But before you go further, which matching logic should have priority? Member # or the SSN/gender/birthdate? Note that the priority does not depend on matching success percentage.
In other words, you may prefer to match on member # first (even though it has a lower success ratio but a higher confidence ratio), followed by ssn..., followed by whatever.
In any case, this sounds much more like a SSIS logic issue. Your questions regarding cursors and stored procedures seem premature at this point. OTOH it may depend on what you are actually trying to accomplish.

AUTO-CREATE LONG LIST BY USING CRITERIAS FOR APPLICANTS

Hi,
By defining criterias, is it possible to automatically create the long list on the system for suited applicants?
Thanks in advance

Sounds like you a talking about 'suitability matching'. This is part of the Talent Management (or Performance Management as it is now known) functionality. Here you can assess the suitability of applicants to the competency requirements of the job or vacancy.
In iRecruitment you can identify vacancies as needing certain competencies. The candidates or applicants can also register what they think their competencies are using the same list. If the suitability matching functionality doesn't do what you want, then it wouldn't be difficult to create a report to match the two.
Also, in iRecruitment, you can configure the system so that the owner of the vacancy is automatically notified if a candidate registers and has matching criteria for your vacancy.
There are probably more areas of the application which could also help, but I hope this gives you something to go on.
Regards
Tim
