MDM Data Export

Hi All,
I am working on MDM 7.1 SP07. I am looking for a solution how we can transport Datas from QAS to PRD Server.
Does there any options similar like Export/Import Repository schema for Data.
Please help
Regards
Ponnusamy

Hi Ponnusamy,
1. Archive and Unarchive is the data migration procedure available between any servers. If u are really concerned about doing this for the first time, you can try doing it between Sandbox and Dev servers if you have them in the landscape. If not, try doing it between two different, unimportant repositories in lower level envronments.
2. As Shamir rightly said, u can refer to the Console reference guide for Archive procedure. The number of repositories can be depending upon your DB size. However the less the number of repositories more will be the performance. Also the number of records in the repositories and the number of tables in the repository plays a vital role in the performance.
Post us your further queries:)
Kind Regards,

What are the corresponding Data Types of some MDM Data Types

Hi Guys,
The MDM ABAP API involves creation of a DDIC structure in SRM. This structure should have the same fields with the MDM table fields. We would like to ask the corresponding ABAP Data Types for the following MDM Data Types.
MDM SRM
1. Look up (flat)
2. Look up (taxonomy)
3. Look up (heirarchy)
4. Look up (qualified flat look up)
Any significant inputs on this?
Thanks and regards,
RE

Hi,
Refer the below link. This is from the MDM Reference guide and contains the sample source code as well for almost all the things like creating repository, creating tables and fields etc. It would be helpful to you.

Can not Upload PDF in MDM data repository

Hi, expert,
when I upload the PDF in MDM data manager, the system error log is :
Unable to open Adobe Acrobat.
See your administrator about installing Adobe Acrobat.
But, when I upload the image, the status is success..
I do not know if it is Adobe Acrobat installing problem or I miss some configuration or it can not upload the PDF into MDM repository..
Your help would be really appreciated.
thanks & Best Regards,

Hi,
Can you open the PDF without any error? Is Adobe Acrobat installed on the server where the repository is loaded?

Essbase Data Export not Overwriting existing data file

We have an ODI interface in our environment which is used to export the data from Essbase apps to text files using Data export calc scripts and then we load those text files in a relational database. Laetely we are seeing some issue where the Data Export calc script is not overwriting the file and is just appending the new data to the existing file.
The OverWriteFile option is set to ON.
SET DATAEXPORTOPTIONS {
     DataExportLevel "Level0";
     DataExportOverWriteFile ON;
DataExportDimHeader ON;
     DataExportColHeader "Period";
     DataExportDynamicCalc ON;
The "Scenario" variable is a substitution variable which is set during the runtime. We are trying to extract "Budget" but the calc script is not clearing the "Actual" scenario from the text file which was the scenario that was extracted earlier. Its like after the execution of the calc script, the file contains both "Actual" and "Budget" data. We are not able to find the root cause as in why this might be happening and why OVERWRITEFILE command is not being taken into account by the data export calc script.
We have also deleted the text data file to make sure there are no temporary files on the server or anything. But when we ran the data export directly from Essbase again, then again the file contained both "Actual" as well as "Budget" data which really strange. We have never encountered an issue like this before.
Any suggestions regarding this issue?

Did some more testing and pretty much zoomed on the issue. Our Scenario is actually something like this "Q1FCST-Budget", "Q2FCST-Budget" etc
This is the reason why we need to use a member function because Calc Script reads "&ODI_SCENARIO" (which is set to Q2FCST-Budget) as a number and gives an error. To convert this value to a string we are using @member function. And, this seems the root cause of the issue. The ODI_Scenario variable is set to "Q2FCST-Budget", but when we run the script with this calculation function @member("&ODI_SCENARIO"), the data file brings back the values for "Q1FCST-Budget" out of nowhere in addition to "Q2FCST-Budget" data which we are trying to extract.
Successful Test Case 1:
1) Put Scenario "Q2FCST-Budget" in hard coded letters in Script and ran the script
e.g "Q2FCST-Phased"
2) Ran the Script
3) Result Ok.Script overwrote the file with Q2FCST-Budget data
Successful Case 2:
1) Put scenario in @member function
e.g. @member("Q2FCST-Budget")
2) Results again ok
Failed Case:
1) Deleted the file
2) Put scenario in a substitution variable and used the member function "@member("&ODI_Scenario") and Ran the script . *ODI_SCENARIO is set to Q@FCST-Budget in Essbase variables.
e.g. @member("&ODI_SCENARIO")
3) Result : Script contained both "Q1FCST-Budget" as well as "Q2FCST-Budget" data values in the text file.
We are still not close to the root cause and why is this issue happening. Putting the sub var in the member function changes the complete picture and gives us inaccurate results.
Any clues anyone?

Automatise data export from website

Hello,
I stuck with an issue regarding data export from scopus.com. I have 61 keywords for which I want to export (as csv) number of documents by year, country, document type, subject area. Doing that by hand would be extremely tedious. Thus my question if this can be automatised. Unfortunately scopus does not provide an API to access the data directly.
So, the process to be automatised would be:
1. Open http://www.scopus.com/home.url
2. Enter the keyword in "search for"
3. Click on "search"
4. Click on "Analyze results"
5. Click on tab "year" and "export". Save the file
6. Click on tab "country" and "export". Save the file
6. Click on tab "document type" and "export". Save the file
6. Click on "subject area" and "export". Save the file
Do programs exist that help me retrieving the data?
Thanks!

You could achieve your goal with bash and wget with some combination of --save-cookies --post-data.
But be aware that scopus is run by Elsevier, whom many view as the most evil of the publishing companies. Think twice before doing something that may annoy them.

MDM Data Manager Masks, field Shared

Hi experts,
while creating a mask in the MDM Data Manager I noticed the field Shared. It can be set to Yes and No.
Can anyone tell me what this field does? I couldn't find any reference to it in the documentation of the MDM Data Manager, current version, MDM 7.1 SP07, May 12, 2011.
Best regards,
Marcus

Hi Adrivit,
could you please elaborate a bit more?
I just created a Mask that is not shared. Then I logged on with another user. That other user can see the mask and select it in the data manager. That other user also see the records contained within the mask.
I don't see any chenge when I set the Mask to shared.
Is this something that is related to Roles, maybe?
Best regards,
Marcus

MDM Data Manager - Freezes at loading Local Searches

Hi all,
While the loading the MDM data manager (DM) the application freezes for ~5 min while stating "Loading Local Searches", before the DM is finíshed loading.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem, or at least where the local searches are stored on the drive?
Kind Regards,
Christian

Hi Christian,
While the loading the MDM data manager (DM) the application freezes for ~5 min while stating "Loading Local Searches", before the DM is finíshed loading.
Does anyone know how to solve this problem, or at least where the local searches are stored on the drive?
As per my knowledge, there may be some reasons for this problem.
1. There might be a version mismatch between the MDM server and the MDM Data Manager Gui. You can check the verison only when the Data Manager opens.
However, you can check it for other GUi's and compare it with the MDM server version. ( Even the build version should match).
2. There might be huge number of records saved in your repository.
3) You might have changed the repository strutcure which has not been updated throughout.
There might be some other problem also.
Possible solutions:
1. Unload the repository and Load it again with UPDATE INDICES. This might solve the problem at the root itself.
2)I would suggest you to check your GUI version and upgrade it if its not matching with the MDM server version.
3)If still not working, you can try-unistalling the DM client and re-installing it again.
Please note these 2 steps before performing the step 2 and step3.
Check the repository for errors and if any, then verify it
Do take a back of the repository from the Console- Use Archive repository.
Hope it helps.
Thanks and Regards

Unable to stop incorrect date exports

How do we set up a form in Adobe Acrobat XI that allows dates to be formatted a certain way (mmm/dd/yyyy) and exported in the same way to Excel and always be recognized as a "proper" date in Excel?
Currently the following does not work (Attempt #1):
Set up a field; Set the format category as date; Set up a Custom format of "mmm/dd/yyyy"
Create a distribution file
When users fill out the form if they type in an incorrect date, eg., "August 27 2013", the form automagically shows the date on the PDF as "Aug/27/13" - Great!
When the users submit the form and it's brought into the response file the dates are shown in a default date format of mm/dd/yyyy - Fine, once the form owners understand this
When the form owners export the information the data exported is the same as the original users entered it, not as it was automagically formatted to. For instance, if submitters originally entered "August 27, 2013" then that's what goes across to Excel. And some of these formats Excel doesn't know how to convert. - Understandably frustrating for form owners
Attempt #2: As a workaround we set up special formatting that has a mask of "AAA/99/9999". This at least provides forces the users to use the same formatting, but is confusing the submitters when they need to enter dates from 1-9 and we've also found that the conversion of this format to a date in Excel doesn't work, but at least it's consistent! Javascript was also added to force users to use specific month abbreviations.
d = new Date(event.value.replace(/-/g, " "));
if (!Date.parse(d)){app.alert("Please enter in a proper date.\n\nThe month abbreviations are: Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec");}
Attempt #3: The last attempt was to continue to use the set up as Attempt #1, but to also use the javascript from Attempt #2. The theory being that if a user entered in "August 27 2013" the javascript would complain. Alas, the javascript appears to run after Adobe automagically does its date format conversion.
Does anyone know how to get around this or have any other ideas to either enforce a usable date format or have Adobe export the dates as they've been automatically formatted to? We've tried to find a way to turn off the automatic date conversion that Adobe's running, but haven't found a way yet. Another option seemed to be to allow a masking that allowed for optional characters (so that the "0" wouldn't be needed for the dates 1-9) but there doesn't seem to be one.
Thanks in advance!

Since there was no clear way to ensure that the date formatting was correct prior to exporting, we're going to get the respondants to use drop downs to ensure the formatting is correct. Not the most convenient for the users though as they're accustomed to being able to type in the values to select it (e.g., for the date of 23 they would expect to enter 2 then 3 for 23) based on other applications, but the Adobe pull downs don't "group" what's been entered (e.g., 2 then 3 will select 30, not 23) and so it will take them a bit to get used to it. I still can't believe that Adobe wouldn't simply export what it's been formatted to though... after all that's what we set the form up for.

MDM Data Manager step-by-step process with an example

Hi All,
I recently started reading MDM. I am clear with MDM-Console concepts. But I have problem with MDM Data Manager. I am confused with data entries in qualified tables, work flows(using microsoft studio), Matching mode- rules(High treshold, low threshold) etc.. I read material posted in forums- but still I am not clear.
I need a step-by-step process for data entries with *examples*. A good example which covers all Data Manager concepts. PDF's with screen shots, videos any thing would help.
Please help me......It would be of great help.
Thanks in Advance.
Suchir

Hi Suchir ,
MDM 5.5 has 4 MDM clients to perform 4 main functionality on the MDM master records.
- Console- This is where all the Administrative work is performed
- Data Manager- This is where the actual maintainence work is done on the master data like consolidation deduplication etc.
- Import manager- Thsi is from where the source matser records are taken into MDM repoistory
- Syndicator- This is from where teh consolidated master data is send back to the target systems.
MDM Data Manager is the heart of MDM
The activities that can be performed in the MDM Data manager are:
- Data Consolidation
- Data Validation
- Data Deduplication
- Data Assignment
- Data Governanace
etc......
Qualified Table:
- Qulaified tables are used to store relational records where one field value is determining the other field or fields value.
- Qualified tables are maintained in Console and can be viewed in Data Manager
- Qualified Table are viewed under a separate section in Data Manager in the right hand side.
- Qualified table has Non qualifiers and Qualifiers.
- Non qualifiers can be seen in the Qualified table and in the linking Qualified field
- Qualifiers can be seen separately under the Qualified section in the data manager
Kindly refer the below link to know more on this:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00a15239-684e-2b10-b8ae-b936b7d1c1fe
Workflows
- Workflows are designed in MDM for Governanace
- You can create the MDM workflow using the MS Visio 2003 stencils in the MDM Data manager in the record mode under the workflow table
- The saved workflow in DM can then be executed either mnaully or automatically based on teh trigger actions
- The trigger action for teh MDM wf are record Add,Update,Import,Manual
Kindly refer the below link to know more on this:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/60559952-ff62-2910-49a5-b4fb8e94f167 (MDM Workflows Overview)

Matching Mode
- This mode is exclusively for Master data deduplication
- We need to create Rules,Strategies,Transformation in MDM data manager in teh record mode
- Then you need to run these strategies on the selected records
- Based on your score and threshold set in the strategy MDM will identify duplicate records
- This score will be seen in teh Matching mode
- Colour coding is used along with scores to find out dupliactes
- Green - 100%dupliacte Blue- 50?% Red- No duplicate

What rights are needed to do a Data Export?

I would like someone from our help desk to be able to do Data-->Export
in Console1 to export inventory data regularly. When they try this,
they immediately get the following error:
Data Export will not proceed. Unable to identify the type of
installation.
I saw TID 10088974 but I don't think it applies because if I login to
the same PC, it works. (Running Console1 locally).
I also saw another TID indicating user needs Browse rights to the
ZEN_invDatabase object. [Public] does have rights to this.
What rights do I need to grant?

In the advance tab of each task there are some script logic already populated. please find attached the details of the script logic written under each of the tasks like MD_Source, concvert and target .
I have not done any chnages in the script inside the task .
But when i run the package , I have selected a dimension 'Entity' but in second prompt ,it ask for a transformation file , and syatem autometically add the file ... \ROOT\WEBFOLDERS\COLPAL\FINANCE\DATAMANAGER\TRANSFORMATIONFILES\Import.xls

in the next prmpt , it ask for a output file ..and it won't allow me enter the file name .....i
Not sure how to proceed further.
I shall be greatfull if someone guide me from your experiance how to set up a simple the data manager package for master data export from dimension . Should I update the transformation file in the script for import file and output file in the advance tab. how and what transformation file to be created and link to the data manager package for export / import .
What are the steps to be executed to run the package for exporting master data from dimension and import it another application .
Thanks in advance for your guidance.

1. Perhaps you want to consider a system copy to a "virtual system" for UAT?
2. Changes in QAS (as with PROD as well) will give you the delta. They should ideally be clean... You need to check the source system.
Another option is to generate the profiles in the target system. But for that your config has to be sqeaky clean and in sync, including very well maintained and sync'ed Su24 data.

Data Export to Oracle table from essbase issue

Hello,
i am using a data export calc script to load data from essbase into an oracle table. We have Essbase 11.1.2.1 on windows 2008 64 bit R2 server. I have an ODBC system DSN created for this job.
However, when i launch this process i get a message in the log "Cannot read SQL driver name for [Backup Exec Catalogs] from [ODBC.INI]"
i have checked the ODBC.ini file also in C:\Windows directory and that file contains the connection entries...
Any thoughts as to why i am getting this error in one server whereas the same process on SIT server is working fine.
thanks...

please restart the application and try again . Check the application log if any details are there

HR Master Data Export error

Hi all,
I'm working at a client where we upgraded from 4.6 to 6.0. This client has never used the master data export program.
I'm trying to configure the master data IDOCs, but I'm having an error when running the program RPCEMDU0_CALL. It refers to an OSS note back in 2001, so that really does not apply to this installation. The problem seems to be with function module HR_PU12_UPDATE_T532K_T532L on IT0106. Some sort of data dictionary discrepancies. I haven't been successful in finding any newer notes related to this.
Has anyone experienced this problem before?
Thanks in advance for your response.
Cesar

Hi Bernd,
Thanks for your response. I looked at that OSS note but it doesn't seem to be realted to the problem I'm having.
The error reads:
"Export program terminated A009
Export program obsolete, regeneration required
Do not regenerate immediately: First make a $STRUC_P0106 back up of the include
PERNR N 000008 000000
(See note 375108) This include is very important if old cluster IF records"
I've re-activated the program and interface formats, but still getting the same error.
Thanks again,
Cesar

Problem in data export

Hi All,
I have a problem regarding data export, when I used EXP command in my oracle form then EXPORT data from database then the dmp is larger than the dmp when I use to export data from same database using DBMS_DATAPUMP. For the case of EXP dmp size is say 40,225 KB and for the same database when I used DBMS_DATAPUMP it becomes say 36,125 KB. Why this difference is occur? Is this a problem? What will be the solution?
Please Help ASAP.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Expdb and Exp are different exporting utility of oracle and hence the output file sizes are not same, and so difference occurs.
No this is not a problem
Since this is not a problem and hence no solution.
Why you see this as a problem
