MDM 7.1 remote key generation on different Remote Systems

I am checking onthe remote key gerneration.
1. When I import data from a remotesystem lets say A AND the data have e.g.. a vendor number in Vendors from BusinessContent
    the remote keys are generated for this remote system.
2. Whe I want to syndicate these date to another remote system e.g. SAP ERP, the objectid i.e. LIFNR is NOT shown in
   the syndicators Destination Preview.
   independent of the map properties setting "Remote Key Override"
3. When I enter the key by hand inthe data manager the data are shown in the syndicator but only it "Remote key overrifde"is
   set to the target system.
Question:
It looks like that the remote keys for a different remotesystem other than the one I omported from are NOT set.
How to do a automatical assignment to the keys of this different Remote System

I checked:
SAP ERP Remote System range 100000 999999
A range 100000 199999
Key Mappings defined for SAP ERP Remote System (checked in Data Manager)
key Mappings not defined for A (checked in Data Manager)
Everything I do I do in the Syndicator
With mapping property "Remote Key Override" marekd as "Reset" no LIFNR is written to SAP ERP
With this property set to SAP ERP the LIFNR is sent.
When I use System A it doesn't matter which settings I have there is no VendorNumber sent out.
Looks like I miss the settings for a property?

Search for [Remote Key] and [Remote System] in Data Manager

Hello all
I would like to be able to search on the remote key and the remote system in the MDM Data Manager is that not possible? I thought I remembered seeing that possibility under the Free-Form Search but now I can't find it.
I have, however, found this in the Data Manager reference guide:
REMOTE SYSTEM AND REMOTE KEY FIELDS
MDM uses the remote systems defined in the Remote Systems table
within the MDM Console to store and maintain key mapping information
for each record or text attribute. It does this using a virtual key
mapping field that you never see in the MDM Client.
This virtual key mapping field is very much like a qualified lookup field
into a virtual key mapping qualified lookup table.
Key Mapping information stored in virtual lookup field
The Remote System and Remote Key fields are normally not visible;
however, they do appear in several places in the MDM Client.
Specifically, both fields: (1) appear in the File > Export dialogs in Record
mode for exporting value pairs; (2) are recognized by the File > Import
dialog in Record mode for importing value pairs; and (3) appear in the
Edit Key Mappings dialogs in both Record mode and Taxonomy mode,
for viewing and editing value pairs.
Is there any way to search on the value in the remote key from the Data Manager?

Not sure search i think not possible.
But you can see keys as mentioned:
Enable Key mapping in Console.
MDM Client maens MDM Data Manager.
They do appear in several places in the MDM Client or Data Manager. Three different methods to see in DM are given already below:
Specifically, both fields: (1) appear in the File > Export dialogs in Record mode for exporting value pairs; (2) are recognized by the File > Import dialog in Record mode for importing value pairs; and (3) appear in the Edit Key Mappings dialogs in both Record mode and Taxonomy mode, for viewing and editing value pairs.

Assign records to different remote systems in MDM

Hello Experts,
I am using qualified range to generate internal number range for vendor. The remote key & remote system details for the records are generated during syndication. My scenario is that I have couple of records in MDM for different remote systems. I want to syndicate it to the respective systems. Is there a way to identify the respective records per system with out inserting the details in "edit key mapping".
If we try specifying Remote system details in edit key mappings with a blank or specific Key value , then the qulaified number generated for vendors is overwritten with this key value mentioned in key mapping.
I need to retain both the qualified range functionality as well as tag the records to different remote systems.
Kindly advice.
Thanks and Regards,
Elizabeth.

Hi Shiv
So, i am not sure, but this all makes me feel that syndication tasks can not be executed parallel.
Your understanding here is correct since we are using here the same table for syndication process so it will be executed in steps. I mean syndication 2 has to wait until the syndication 1 ends. But the thing is that even after syndication 1 completes syndication 2 is not going to place that's the issue here.
Please find solution which tells same thing in MDM import manager context.
Can I run two Import Managers at the same time?
Yes, several instances of the Import Manager can be open concurrently. The only existing limitation though is when actual importing process starts the tables involved in the importing process are locked for write access. So if two instances of the Import Manager import to different tables then no synchronization issue occurs. If they use the same table, then the instance getting access second has to wait until the first ends.
For more details, Please refer this below link:

@ Elizabeth: After Syndication 1, Have you checked after sometime whether syndication2 & so-on takes place or not. I feel that Syndication for syndication 2 , syndication 3 & syndication 4 should also occur after some time as they executed one by one not parallel so will take some time. Just check and revert with result whether your workflow gets completed after some time or not.
Note: Make sure that for all these Syndications outbound ports Processing Type = Manual in Console else syndication will not occur.

Key generation in Remote Systems.

Hi,
When we are creating a remote Sytem we have a filed called Key Generation , where we can specify the from , to Range.
Can any one provide me the business scenario where this key generation is used?
I have an idea about key mapping which is used to differentiate filed values which are different in connected remote systems.
regards,
Venki.

Hi Venki,
The key generation is a very useful concept.
For Key Generation = Range, From=100, To= 200:
You need to map the Remote key to MDM_Material field during syndication in which you want to maintain the value.
So the first time you syndicate data, 100 will be assigned to the MDM_Material field for the syndicated record.. so on..
It gets updated to your field only after syndication and you can see it on edit key mapping against the record.
For Key Generation with Qualified range:
You need to select the lookup table, based on whose values you want value to be maintained in MDM_Material.
And for each value in the lookup field, you can select the range.
Example: Assigning Material number based on Account Groups.
Hope it help.
Thanks,
Priti

Remote System and Remote Key Mapping at a glance

Hi,
I want to discuss the concept of Remote System and Remote Key Mapping.
Remote System is a logical system which is defined in MDM Console for a MDM Repository.
We can define key mapping enabled at each table level.
The key mapping is used to distinguish records at Data Manager after running the Data Import.
Now 1 record can have 1 remote system with two different keys but two different records cannot have same remote system with same remote key. So, Remote key is an unique identifier for record for any remote system for each individual records.
Now whenever we import data from a Remote System, the remote system and remote key are mapped for each individual records. Usually all records have different remote keys.
Now, when syndicating back the record with default remote key is updated in the remote system that is sent by xml file format.
If same record is updated two times from a same remote system, the remote key will be different and the record which is latest contains highest remote key.
Now, I have to look at Data Syndication and Remote key.
I have not done Data Syndication but my concept tell if there is duplicate record with same remote system but different remote keys both will be syndicated back. But if same record have two remote keys for same remote system then only the default remote key is syndicated back.
Regards
Kaushik Banerjee

You are right Kaushik,
I have not done Data Syndication but my concept tell if there is duplicate record with same remote system but different remote keys both will be syndicated back.
Yes, but if they are duplicate, they needs to be merged.
But if same record have two remote keys for same remote system then only the default remote key is syndicated back.
This is after merging. So whichever remote key has tick mark in key mapping option(default) , it will be syndicated back.
Pls refer to these links for better understanding.

Unable to Edit/Remove Remote Systems using MDM 7.1

Unable to find an answer to this in either the forums or the Wiki...
Using MDM 7.1 through the SAP MDM Console 7.1.03.54
I can add a new Remote System, it comes up with the default values for the Remote System fields:
Name: New Remote System, Code: NewRemoteSystem, Type: Inbound, Key Generation: None
But I cannot modify the field values nor can I delete the Remote System.
The right-click context menu always has 'Delete Remote System' greyed out.
Nor do I see any mechanism to modify the fields' values. Moving to the Remote System Detail pane, none of the fields are edittable; I have tried left-clicking, right-clicking, double clicking, using the Edit tool bar menu - nothing lets me edit these fields.
My user account has the Admin role. Looking to the Admin role, it has Execute for all functions, and Read-Write to the Remote Systems in the Tables and Fields tab.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Andrew,
Your repository should be in unloaded state to make changes in any table whether main table, subtable, Ports, Special tables or Remote Systems table etc. As you want to make changes in your repository Remote Systems, please unload your repository->Go to Admin>Remote systems>Make necessary changes (Add/Delete/update)--> Then load repository.
Note: You can only add User and Roles during Repository loaded state.

Key Generation in console

Hi Folks,
I have defined key generation in console .I need some information in key generation such as ,if i define None ,range and Qualifed Range.
Where it effect and what are significance of it.
Secondaly., We create clone in Import manager and then we do mapping to remote key to the clone of the main table. I am looking for the business significance and techanical signifiance of it.
Thanks in advance,
Rohit

Hi Rohit,
If you choose
NONE: - Then remote key will not be generated automatically and has to be applied explicitly either using import manager or in data manager.
RANGE: - Here we can specify a range using TO and FROM. This generates the key automatically for that client between that range.
Qualified range: - Here we specify a range for a qualified table for key generation.
Keys are generated on a per value basis i.e. MDM automatically generates keys for the specified single-valued lookup field based on values you specify
using the Range property. You can specify Qualified Range values by selecting the
single-valued lookup field from the drop-down list and specifying From
and To values for each lookup table value.
Let me know if this helped your cause.

Key Generation, doesnt work

Hi, every body
I want to generate new Material Number automatically for new Materials
I have done the following steps
- I have set Key Mapping to YES in Products main table
- In the remote systems I added a new remote system called SAP_ECC
- In this remote system I set the Key Generation to Qualified Range and set the Look Field to Material Type, also fill the Qualified Range to something like this
[NULL] 9990000001 to 9999999999
ZHOR   9010000001 to 9019999999
ZVER   9020000001 to 9029999999
ZHIB    9030000001 to 9039999999
- In the syndicator I configured a port called TO_ECC to work with SAP_ECC remote system
- Mapped the [Remote Key]/[Value] to MATNR field in iDOC MATMAS05
In the Preview pane I only see Material Numbers (MATNR) which I have manually edited    its mapping value. Material Numbers are empty for new Materials.
Please tell me. What I'm missing?

Hi Rafael
In my experience with Key Generation, the keys are only created for the remote system once a Syndication job has actually processed the record. I'd guess that this is so in order to minimise the amount of work done by the MDM Server and to avoid "wasting" keys.
To see that it does work : execute the Syndication job then refresh the Record view (press F5) in the Syndicator. The Destination Preview tab should now contain the newly generated key.

Can you clone Remote System key mappings?

We have 2 Remote Systems set up for our MDM repository with key mappings for 60 tables. I now need to add an additional Remote System which is similar to one of the existing ones, but with a few different values. Is there any way I can clone the existing one or do I have to go through all 60 tables one by one, export the info, edit it to show the new Remote System name and re-import it? I have searched the sources but can't find anything on this precise topic.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Peter Croft

Peter,
No you cannot.
Prepare a source having Just two columns ex., new Remote Keys of the system and an common identifier field in the table which you are planning to import with the data. Import it and get it to the data manager as records with just two fields(Remote Key and Common identifier). If you have the import maps already stored for the tables when you have done for the previous imports for the other two remote systems, use them and automate the importing process for this particular remote system (via port configuration in console and Data manager) for the remaining fields of the table.

Read "Qualified Range Key Generation" with Java API.

Hi guru,
I use MDM 5.5 SP6.
In MDM Console I read Qualified Range Key Generation it in "ADMIN -> Remote Systems -> Qualified Range".
I have to get "Qualified Range Key Generation" with Java API.
It's possible?

Hi Rocco,
I am also thinking of same scenario.I thought it is possible in Java Apis by calling the webservices for MDM.there is a service of "get key mapping" where we can pass this "Qualified key range" as parameter.In MDM we have to define a look up table for that key ranges .We will access that table through JAVA API and then link it with the key mapping service .
If u find any solution to apply this ,please share.
thanks and regards

Syndicating based on Addition of a Remote System Key

Hi
We have a distributed system syndication scenario where we need to syndicate a record automatically when a remote system key is added to an existing harmonized record in MDM. By adding the Remote System Key, it essentially means the remote system is 'subscribing' to the new harmonized record.
Is there any way to fire off a syndication event when a new remote system key is added to a record? It seems that MDM currently only flags a record as ready to be syndicated when a value changes in one of the fields of that record - it doesn't seem to identify the addition of a new system key to the record as a change to the record.
Thanks for your assistance in advance.

Hi Ravi
Thanks for the reply. The current view is that we were going to add it manually as a remote system key mapping, as the material record would already exist and would have been harmonized in mdm - so no need to add it through an import map. The scenario is that the master record already exists and another system wishes to also receive this record. Any thoughts on what options do we have if we go this approach?
Also, is their anyway to indicate if a remote system key is added for a new system to an existing mdm material, to indicate when syndicating that the record being sent is a 'Create' record - and hence only to syndicate it to the new remote system added and not to the other systems which also have remote key's against that record?
Thanks
Costa

Key generation

Hi Gurus
We have a requirement of generating a number for all the records in particular range. For this in Console we have marked key mapping as yes and had given range for the remote system. We are able to generate keys but the problem is that after importing and deduplication process MDM is only syndicating dedupped records. MDM is not giving any information regarding the records which got merged in Data Manager at the time of syndication, and thus our middleware guys are not able to identify which all records are merging. Is there any way MDM can syndicate this information i.e which all records are getting merged. Any work around?
Thanks & regards
Kiran

Hi Kiran,
I think you need to find out the information of the merged record. This can be done using Edit Key Mapping feature of MDM.
Please go through the article below to know the functionality better:

Search for records by Remote Key or Remote System in Data Manager

Hi all,
We have a requirement to search for records by Remote key and/or Remote System at the main table level. Is it possible to do this using the Data Manager? If so, how?
Thanks in advance!
Lavanya.

Hi,
I crosschecked with MDM 5.5 and Don't think it is possible through Data Manager. How ever using APIs you can search records using remote key/ remote system.

Schedule Line Generation at Different dates

Dear MM gurus
SUB:- Schedule Line Generation at Different dates
We have requirement of generating the shcedule line on different dates
in case multi supplier.
Say the subject part is supplied by 3 different supplier when executing MRP
system generated the schedule line on same date for each supplier,
however the business requirement is not to receive all material on same
date but to receive the same on say three consecutive dates,say schedule line for first Vendor 20.11.2007 ,22.11.2007 for second vendor ,23.11
for third Vendor and so on.
Pls suggest.
Regards,
Ashok Ugar

I have not presented my problem to them. It is ofcourse possible that this SAP note is not applicable for my problem, but I noticed the first paragraphs as relevant.
The problem now seems solved by the way. An order desk/planning empoyees has changed the order quantity and the confirmed quantity to 15.000 pieces. So this line is now fully delivered. Th edelivered quantity is now stated in the schedule line.
