Mdm import issue

I am trying to import cremdm idoc using standard 00_cremdm04 map. I am getting the folowing error

Import Action: Create
Source Record Number:1
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi ,
Seems you not mapped it with appropriate destination item .
In the 'Map fields/vlaues' tab , Pls check if it is mapped with appropriate Destination item; if yes Pls check the corresponding value mapping is also mapped properly.
If you need more info ,Pls let us know .

MDM Import Manager Batch

Hi everyone,
We are using the MDM Import Manager Batch to import data automatically. Can we write in our ImportBatch.ini the file name with * at the end : CREMDM.CREMDM04*.xml
because the file name comes with time stamp (CREMDM.CREMDM0420061129-103959-602.xml)
[Source]
Type=XML Schema
XML Schema=CREMDM04
File name= \...\... CREMDM.CREMDM04*.xml
DSN=
DBMS Server=
Database=
User=admin
In advance thanks,
Aklilu

Hi Aklilu,
the names of the XML files don't matter. MDIS tries to process everthing that is put into the ready folder. The ready folder is processed in a "first comes, first served" way. So there's no need to change the names. Is the time stamp in the file name really a problem? If yes, why?
> We are trying to parameter the mdis.ini and until now it does not work.
Could you specify this? In addition, I've got a few hints:
MDIS has to have the same build version as the MDM Server. In addition, MDIS has to be running (in Windows, you can check this in the Services Screen). Furthermore you should have a look at the Console's port definition (select your repository, go to Admin -> Ports in the menu tree). The port has to be configured correctly (XML Scheme, which map to be used, and so on). Very important: you have to set the port to automatic processing.
Here's a sample for the MDIS.ini:
[GLOBAL]
Version=5540
Server=WDFD00146633A
Interval=30
Automap Unmapped Value=True
Unmapped Value Handling=Add
Always Use Unmapped Value Handling=False
VXR_MAX=25000
Verbose=0xFFFF
-- Verbose OFF:     0x0000
-- Verbose ON:      0xFFFF
-- FI Verbose:     0x0001
-- XML Verbose:     0x0002
-- MAP Verbose:     0x0004
-- THRD Verbose:    0x0008
-- PARSER Verbose: 0x0010
-- STRUCTX Verbose: 0x0020
-- VALUEX Verbose: 0x0040

Login=Admin
Password=
Chunk Size=50000
No. Of Chunks Proccessed In Parallel=5
Using the Verbose parameter you can define which errors, issues, messages and so on should be written into the MDIS log. You can find the logs directly in the port's log folder and in the log folder of your MDIS installation directory. If MDIS is not working or the import fails, these files contain some helpful information.

MDM Import Manager - remove multiple values from a multi valued fiedl

Hi,
We have this multi-valued field and we would like to clean the values from it.
How can we do this using MDM Import Manager?
Example:
Article A
Field XPTO has values Z, T and P.
We want this field XPTO with no values. How can we do a mass actualization to clean the field for some articles?
Thanks and regards,
Maria

Hi Maria,
There can be multiple ways to achieve this -
1.After doing field mapping for XPTO you can set conversion filter for each of the values.
2.Value map with NULL.
3.Trigger a Workflow on import/record add,run assignment and make that field NULL.
4.Run mass update for conditional assignment based on that value of XPTO.
There can be more ways,whichever suits you best you can go ahead with that.
Hope it helped

Importing text file (delimited, fixed width) with MDM Import Manager?

Hello all,
According to the overview section of the import manager reference guide, it is possible to import from delimited text files (e.g. CSV).
But when it comes to the details, text files are not mentioned anymore. I also found no option in the Import Manager.
Could you tell me whether this is possible and - if it is - how?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Dennis

Hi Dennis,
In order to import flat files into MDM do the following. This solution is specific to MS Windows:
I. Set up ODBC for *.txt or *.csv files
1. Open Data Sources (ODBC) interface:
Start> Settings> Control Panel--> Administrative Tools -->Data Sources (ODBC).
2. Select System DSN Tab in Data Sources (ODBC) interface.
3. Click on [Add]. Select the Microsoft Text Driver. Click Finish.
4. Write a Data Source Name
5. Uncheck Use Current Directory to enable the [Select Directory] button.
6. Click on [Select directory] to determine the source directory.
7. Select the source file.
8. Click [OK] and return to the ODBC Text Setup screen.
9. Click [OK].
10. Return to the ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog and click [OK].
II. Importing from Flat file
1. Run MDM Import Manager.
2. Select ODBC from the Type drop-down field of the Connect To Source dialog.
3. Enter the DSN name from the Setup ODBC Connection dialog above.
4. Select the file name with extension (.csv or .txt) in the Tables panel of MDM Import Manager and the file content in the Records panel.
Hope this solved your problem.Please mark helpful answers

Strange import issue .. no longer works in 2.6 or Beta 3

Strange import issue.
I use LR-2.6 everyday but have only played around with the LR-3 for a limited amount of time so the other day I decided check it out and tried to import a handful of RAW(canon) files on a SDxc-8g card via a USB card reader. I set it up to copy and convert to DNG, apply a few keywords and Metadata but when I tried it acted like it imported the first image and then froze. Card reader lights stopped blinking and just stayed on, program task bar doesn’t show any progress, not even for the first image. I then went to the folder that I was going to have the images copies to and it contained a file of the first image, but there is no indication that LR-3 even created it and it doesn’t show up in the catalog. When I tried to close out LR-3 is popped up the “in the middle of a task warning” so I just closed the program and tried it a couple more times to no avail.
So I though o well I will just open up LR-2.6 and import them from there, guess what now LR-2.6 does the exact same thing!!
I thought maybe my card reader was a POS but I was able to drag all the files to a new folder on my desktop and import them from there, nope. Tried rebooting a couple times, even opened a new catalog to test with, in both LR-2.6 and LR-3 and neither will work..
I am stumped any ideas?

Thank you for everyone's assistance
I actually figured out what the problem was, like most issues it comes back to operator error, it seem I had inadvertently chose a "rename file on import" template that I had set up to name the files based on a custom fill-in field in the Meta Data, I normally only used that template when I was exporting images that had been completely edited, so being these images were new imports that field was blank, hence it would import the first image and then do to " don't import subjected duplicates" being checked it would just stop the import process.

IMPORT issues: Works with iMovie 3 but not iMovie 6 ???

Okay, still trying to get my import issue resolved.
I have a SONY HDR-HC3 DVmini.
No problems with iMovie 3 on my Powerbook.
iMovie 6 on my MDD will let me control the camera, but the screen stays BLUE with no IMPORT.
My buddy thinks it might be a Quicktime issue.
He said to download Quicktime Pro, that might resolve this issue.
I can copy the iMovie 3 file to my machine with iMovie 6 and do the editing, just not the importing...
THANX

Hi
Can be so much.
Often Camera has to be connected to Charger/mains during Capture.
An majority is a faulthy - badly connected FW-Cable (USB don't work at all)
My list on this
*NO CAMERA or A/D-box*
Cable
• Sure that You use the FireWire - USB will not work for miniDV tape Cameras
FireWire - Sure not using the accompany USB-Cable but bought a 4-pin to 6-pin FW one ?
• Test another FW-Cable very often the problem maker.
Camera
• Test Your Camera on another Mac so that DV-in still works OK
• Toogle in iMovie pref. Play-back via Camera (on<->off some times)
• Some Cameras has a Menu where You must select DV-out to get it to work
• Camera connected to "charger" (mains adaptor) - not just on battery
Does Your Camera work on another Mac ?
Sorry to say it is to easy to turn the 6-pin end of the FW-cable 180 deg wrong.
This is lethal to the A/D-chip in the Camera = needs an expensive repair.
(Hard to find out - else than import/export to another Mac ceased to work
everything else is OK eg recording and playback to TV)
Connections
• Daisy Chaining most often doesn’t work (some unique cases - it’s the only way that work (some Canon Cameras ?))
Try to avoid connecting Camera <--> external HD <--> Mac but import directly to the Mac then move
the Movie project to dedicated external hard disk.
Mac
• Free space on internal (start-up) hard disk ? Please specify the amount of free space.
(Other hard disks don't count)
I go for a minmum of 25Gb free space for 4x3 SD Video - and my guess is 5 times more for 16x9 HD ones
after material is imported and edited.
SoftWare
• Delete iMovie pref file may help sometimes. I rather start a new account, log into this and have a re-try.
• Any strange Plug-ins into QuickTime as Perian etc ? Remove and try again.
• FileVault is off ? (hopefully)
Using WHAT versions ? .
• Mac OS - X.5.4 ?
• QuickTime version ? (This is the heart in both iMovie and FinalCut)
• iMovie 8 (7.1.?) ?
• iMovie HD 6 (6.0.4/3) ?
*Other ways to import Your miniDV tape*
• Use another Camera. There where tape play-back stations from SONY
but they costed about 2-4 times a normal miniDV Camera.
• If Your Camera works on another Mac. Make an iMovie movie project here and move it
over to Your Mac via an external hard disk.
(HAS TO BE Mac OS Extended formatted - USB/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange WILL NOT DO)
(Should be a FireWire one - USB/USB2 performs badly)
from LKN 1935.
Hi Bengt W, I tried it all, but nothing worked. Your answer has been helpfull insofar as all the different trials led to the conclusion that there was something wrong with my iMovie software. I therefore threw everything away and reinstalled iMovie from the HD. After that the exportation of DV videos (there has not been any problem with HDV videos) to my Sony camcorders worked properly as it did before. Thank you. LKN 1935
from Karsten.
in addition to Bengt's excellent '9 yards of advice' ..
camera set to 'Play' , not rec/computer/etc.?
camera not on battery, but power-line?
did your Mac 'recognize' this camera before...?
a technical check.
connect camera, on, playback, fw-connected...
click on the Blue Apple, upper left of your screen ..
choose 'About../More..
under Firewire.. what do you read..?
More
• FileVault - Secure that it’s turned off
• Network storage - DOESN’T WORK
• Where did You store/capture/import Your project ?
External USB hard disk = Bad Choise / FireWire = Good
If so it has to be Mac OS Extended formatted
----> UNIX/DOS/FAT32/Mac OS Exchange is NOT Working for VIDEO !
mbolander
Thanks for all your suggestions. What I learned is that I had a software problem. I had something called "Nikon Transfer" on my Mac that was recognizing my Canon camcorder as a still camera and was preventing iMovie from working properly. After uninstalling Nikon Transfer and doing a reboot, everything worked great.
I never liked the Nikon Transfer software anyway--I guess I'll get a cheap card reader and use that to transfer photos in the future.
*No Camera or bad import*
• USB hard disk
• Network storage
• File Vault is on

if you have adobe cs3 or 4 and have the adobe bridge on close that

The problem was the external backup hard drive that is connected, you need to disconect the external drive before the mac can see the video camera.

Retreive Next Source File in MDM Import Manager

Hi all,
I am curious about the above feature in the MDM Import Manager. It can be found under File menu but I found that it is always greyed out even if I have selected multiple files. When I select multiple files, the system is clever enough to take all the records in the file so it doesn't seem to be used to move from one file to another. I couldn't find any information on the Import Manager guide so am trying this forum. Note that I have also searched on the forum before posting.
Appreciate if anyone can share their insight into this feature.
Cheers!
SF

Hi SF,
Yes I too did not come accross any document about this.
However,I guess this is something which helps you in exception handling.
When you handle exception of a port and there are multiple files,then you need "connect to source" again and again.
It takes you to next exception file.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,
Ravi

Identifing duplicate master data records using the MDM Import Manager

hi all
I read the Topis "How to identify duplicate master data records using the MDM Import Manager</b>"
i tried to create import maps and to set rules. but when i import them it creates the new vendor records for each rule with rest of the fields blank.
when i import vendor data all the three fields i.e Match rate , match type and match group are blank.
My Question is :
I am getting vendor data from SAP R/3.
In which source (in lookup xml file or data xml file) do i have to include these above three fields and how all the rules will be reflected in repository?

Hi Sheetal
Here we go when do you Import any data (vendor master) please follow the following steps;
1. First of all apply the map to the source data
2. In the Match Record tab there are 3 possiblities
   a.[Remote Key] : Checks the current source rec with
     repository along with all the fields - This is
     default
   b.Remove [Remote key] - by double click the same; and
     choose any single fields like Vendor Number or
     name - Then the current record will be matched
     with the repository based on the field.
   c.Instead of single field you can choose combination
     also.
3. Based on the Match results, match class will be set
   automatically;
   a. None
   b. Single
   c. Multiple
4. Then Match Type
    a.Exact-All the individual value matches are Equal.
    b.Partial-At least one value match is Equal and at least one Undefined; no value matches are Not Equal.
    c.Conflict-At least one value match is Equal and at least one value match is Not Equal.
5. then chek the Import status and Execute the import.
Hope this helps you.
cheers

Map including spliting operation dosen't work in MDM Import Server

Hi All,
I met a problem with MDM Import Server when using a map file with spliting operation in it, although I can use it in MDM import manager to load data successfully. The error in log file is like this:
Record Matching...
Importing Lookup...
One or more attribute values are invalid.
One or more attribute values are invalid.
One or more attribute values are invalid.
One or more attribute values are invalid.
Import Failed!
The spliting in my map is: I split field "Category" into category1 and category2 with space " ". e.g. value "Trousers M" is splitted into "Trousers" and "M" . Then I map category1 to category and category2 to size.
I tried to delete this spliting and just map "Category" to "Category" then it works well for Import Server.
Is it the bug of MDM import server? can anyone give me a explaination?
Thanks! Bin

Under Configuration Options of the Import Manager,
check the values for
<b>Default Batch Handling</b>
AutoMap Unmapped Values = Yes
Unmapped value Handling = Add/Ignore/Fail.
Set the values according to your needs.
Make sure that the data source is updatable as well.

SAP MDM Import Manager connect to Oracle Database.

Hi expert,
I try to connect to Oracle DB with SAP MDM Import Manager but I cant.
I entered property in "Connect to Sorce" window.
============================================
Type : Oracle
Remote system : MDM
DBMS server : <DBMS host>:<listener port>
Database : Oracle_SID
User : Oracle database user
Password : Oracle database user password
============================================
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.

MDM Import manager data sources

Hi experts,
As far as I know MDM has ETL capabilities with MDM Import/syndicator tools that allows to load and extract data to and from MDM using files and relational databases as source/target.
What different kind of data sources supports MDM Import manager?
When should we work with SAP XI/PI?
When sould we work with ETL (Data Services as Data Integrator)?
Thanks in advance,
Abby
Edited by: Abigail Beurmann on Nov 23, 2011 11:38 AM

Hi Abigail,
So, Could you please tell me if it's a common practice to import data in MDM using files?
for example as you said, We want to import data from R/3 to MDM using XML files that XI/PI generates?
Yes its a common practice to import data in MDM in files.Most common mode of data exchange is xml which has many advantages namely it is accepted open standard,allows to clearly separate content from form (appearance), is text-oriented,is Secure, is extensible,is self-describing, is universal; meaning internationalization is no problem and XML is a future-oriented technology.
In our business scenario, We have a SAP CRM with SQL server 2005 as a source. Could MDM automatically import data directly from SQL Server or it's a better practice to generate XML files with PI using the Import Port/folder?
One should always use a interface as business rules can possibly change and making a later change could be huge ask.
So PI can act a interface between MDM and CRM.
CRM supports Bdoc and PI can integrate with CRM with help of ABAP Proxies.
The following thread provides you in depth information on integration of the 2 systems:

What is meant by criteria of Updateability in MDM Import manager

Hi,
What is meant by criteria of Updateability in MDM Import manager? i read some information, but i could understand, it says original data source be updateble. what is meant by Original data source.?
what is the use of option "Read-only" in Import manager logon screen.
Thanks

Hello Ankam,
You can check the Read-only option to prevent MDM from updating your data source.
Kindly see the below information on "DATA SOURCE UPDATES"
DATA SOURCE UPDATES
Some MDM Import Manager operations require that the original data source be updateable, thereby allowing new fields and/or entire new tables u2013 and the corresponding data values for each record u2013 to be automatically added to the data source before further processing.
Other operations simply create virtual fields in the MDM Import Manageru2019s workspace, although if the data source happens to be updateable, some of these operations instead add the new fields to the original data source as well.
NOTE ►► Updating the data source when possible allows you to
perform additional operations on the new fields as if they were part of
the original source data, and also use them as record matching fields.
NOTE ►► Fields that are added only if the data source is updateable
can be deleted automatically by the MDM Import Manager when you
exit or switch data sources based on the setting of the Delete Created
Fields on Exit configuration option.
Updateable Data Sources
Whether or not a data source is updateable depends upon the following:
u2022 Source type. The source Type must permit the MDM Import Manager to update its schema and insert the additional fields of data; some supported types are updateable and some are not.
u2022 Media. The media on which the data source resides must itself be updateable. If the media on which the data source resides is readonly, such as a CD-ROM, the data source cannot be updated.
u2022 Permissions. You must have the proper file system permissions to update the file, or the proper DBMS permissions to update the schema of the database.
u2022 Read-only option. You cannot have checked the Read-Only option, which prevents MDM from updating the data source even if the other conditions would otherwise permit it.
NOTE ►► The Read-Only option is: (1) enabled for source types that
can be updated (Access, Oracle, SQL Server, and XML); (2) disabled
and unchecked for those that use Access as an updateable staging
area (Delimited Text and Fixed Text); and (3) disabled and checked for
those that cannot be updated (Excel and ODBC).
NOTE ►► When the data source is SQL Server, the table names in
the database must not contain spaces; otherwise any operation that
would update the data source will fail.
Hope this helps.

Vikas

Differences between various source files in mdm import manager

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the differences between the source files(access,xml,xml schema,excel) available in mdm import manager?
Thanks and regards,
Rithesh
Edited by: rithesh_shet on Mar 30, 2010 1:04 PM

Hi Ritesh,
MDM Import Manager provides flexibility to Import Data from different types of Sources into MDM.
You can import data into MDM from below mentioned sources using Import Manager:
1. From Files (Access, Delimited Text, Excel, Fixed Text, XML and XML Schema)
2. Directly from Data base source (SQL server and oracle)
As mentioned by Mandeep, XML Schema is something which you define in MDM console in advance. and then later select the Data source XML file and XML schema from drop down list (it will show all schema defined in console ) to validate XML source file against the XML schema.
For automated Import, Ports are used. Ports are nothing but a logical point of contact with other systems i.e. other systems or middleware will drop file on the port for authomatic import and MDM import server will scan the port directory and if file is present then will import data automatically from file into MDM using a predefine Import Map. (this map needs to be defined manually in import manager and then assigned to port using console).
Please check page no 45 of import manager reference guide for more details about various source properties of Import Manager. (*link for import manager reference guide is already provided on the earlier post)
Also check, page no 53 to 64 for how to import process. Kindly revert if you have any query.
Regards,
Shiv

Importing issues with Final Cut Pro X. Green flash and twitches while play back

Hello, I'm having some importing issues with Final Cut Pro X and I can't find any solution whatsoever. Perhaps my importing settings are wrong?
Anyways, I've done a lot of recordings on eye TV and HD PVR with some videos that are about 3 hours long. I exported them into H.264 files, which turns them into mpeg-4 files with AAC audio. Then I import them into final cut pro X and I notice it takes a long time for them to render the videos and I notice that there are some green screens and twitches while I play through the video.
Here is a screenshot of the green screen that I'm talking about:

Could it be my 2 video graphics card that is causing this kind of issues? Or is there any solution to fix this?
In the past, I've used iMovie 09 and it worked out perfectly. However, the new iMovie 11 is terrible because it automatically optimzie my 3 hour long videos into making the importing process to (144 hours long to import). Is there any way to get iMovie 09 back or am I stuck on dealing with this Final Cut Pro X issues?
