MDM Import Server after error in import file

We setup Import Server and it processed a few files. then we tested what happens when there is an error. it logged a file to LOG folder. but would not start picking up new files we dropped in the READY folder. We removed the file with an error but still nothing; we fixed the error and put the file back and still nothing; we stopped and restarted the server, reposititory and import server but still nothing. Any ideas how we "reset" import server so it will start to process files again ? thanks

Hi Jay
I have faced the similar problem; have done some turn around to make things work, it may not be permanent solution. I have cleared the folders LOG,EXCEPTION(StructuralX), STATUS by copying the files to someother location for future reference and it worked.
Please feel free to revert to me for further clarifications.
thanks
Alexander

Import Server not picking up the file

Hello,
I have 2 repositories running on the same server. Import server picks up file for one repository, but not for the other. What could be the reason? Also, for the repository, import server not picking up the file, workflow also does not send an email notification.
Please help
Subhash

Hi Subhash,
Hope you are not using the same Import Server for both the MDM Servers. If yes then you need to mention the MDM Sevrer name in the MDM Server parameter of MDIS.ini. Check the parameter list of MDIS.ini file.
If your repository has password for Admin user then you need to specify the same in MDIS.ini file under your repository section for User = Admin and Passowrd = [Admin password]. Remove the E from the PAsswordE and give the password for Admin user. Once done restart the Import Server and check again, parameter Password would have converted to PasswordE.
For Email Notification two things you need to check:
1. You should have specified the mail server address in MDS.ini file under your repository section for parameter Mail Server.
2. Workflow owner should have entry in Email address field of the user. Check this in Console under Admin -> Users.

Import of Prospects Error Message "Source File Not Found"

I have just rebuilt our demo webtools CRM server and am having an issue importing Prospects.
I have tried the Excel option and the CSV Option, but get the same error each time saying "Source Not Found" and a back url (which doesnt work).
I have completed the same functional process and am using the same file to Import the Prospects via (Prospecting > Import, choose Excel, select the file, then click the Upload File & Continue icon) on my old server and this new one. I have also done the same using the SAP Vertical Demo's site and it works fine there so it must be some type of permissions issue.
I am logged in as Administrator and the file to upload is on C:, have also attempted the same with the file in a share with 'everyone' having full access but no change.
Thanks in advance for your assistance with this.
Regards,
Brodie.

Hello Brodie,
It could be one of two issues.
1) As you have guessed, it could be a permissions issue. This permissions issue comes from Webtools not having permissions to temporarily store the file while extracting it to the database. Take a look at this thread: [Re: New theme for download - WebCRM theme!] and apply those permissions to the whole assets folder (prospects get uploaded to assets/temp/)
2) Is this an excel file or an CSV file? If it is an excel file, make sure the "Sheet" name matches what is in the box (e.g. Sheet1) if this doesn't match it could cause similar problems.

what should be the file name in the directory ? could this be the problem ?

Hi Kaushik,
For picking up the file file ready folder you need to do the following steps:
1) Creation of users and assinging password to the users.
2) Creation of maps in import manager for importing the data.
3) Creation of ports. In this you have to mention map name which you have made for importing the data, format of the file present in ready folder and your processing type as automatic.
4) Mention user name and password in the MDIS.ini file. Also mention the time interval.Save this file.
Now you can find that import server is picking up the data from ready folder.
If you are still facing some problems please go through this URL: [http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm550/helpdata/en/19/d4301589b54841af17e7c42b4cee49/content.htm]

IMovies 06 - unable to import movies after several successful imports

I am importing Hi8 video from a Canon ES4000 using iMovies 06. I have had no problems until the last two days. iMovies seems to be recognizing the camera but will not import when I hit the import button. I get the acknowledgment from iMovies that "Camera is Connected" and "Camera Playing".
I am using a DAC-200 Data Video converter which is connected via firewire cable. Like I mentioned earlier I have had no problems. (I have successfully downloaded and burned 9 DVDs).
I have restarted computer, opened a new iMovies project, etc with no results.
The only thing I can think I have done recently is allowed a software update to be performed. Here is a list of my download log:
2008-07-26 18:42:40 -0500: Installed "Safari" (3.1.2)
2008-07-26 18:43:38 -0500: Installed "iTunes" (7.7)
2008-07-26 18:47:26 -0500: Installed "Security Update 2008-004 (Intel)" (1.0)
2008-07-27 18:15:35 -0500: Installed "AirPort Extreme Update 2008-002" (1.0)
I personally wouldn't think any of the above updates would cause a problem.
Would it be worth uninstalling the updates???
I would appreciate any help I can get....Frustrated to no end!

Shortly after posting this on the forum I unplugged and restarted everything one more time and now importing works. Still not sure what the problem was. Hopefully this will get me to the end of my project.

MDM 5.5 SP02 Error during import of Customer Data

Hello,
I am a beginner in MDM 5.5.
I tried to import the customer data via the import manager. I got the error message:
" E1KNA1M wasn't found in the source "
What's wrong with this repository ? I used the DEBMDM06 for extraction out of an R/3 4.7. The XML-file includes this segment !
Can someone help me ?
Thanks in advance.
Michael

Ronen,
Thanks for quick response.
Let me fill you in with the my environment info. I am using MDM SP 02 with SQL Server on Windows XP.
I am following the SAP NetWeaver MDM 5.5 SP02
Scenario Configuration Guide to import customer Data from R/3 to MDM repository via XI, idoc.
According to guide I was able to extract the Customer data from R/3, and using XI (and FTP) I was able to get the data file customer.dat (which is in XML format).
In console I tried to setup the client system as a you specified, but here is what I see in my MDM console
Name: MDC (R/3 4.6 DEBMDM05)
Code: MDC (R/3 4.6 DEBMDM05)
Client System: Import [ for this field it shows me Import, Export, Import/Export options only and not the inbound/outbound as you specified]. If I select option Import then only it will show this Client System while defining the Port.
For port definition it shows following fields
[Port]
Name : R3Import
Code : R3Import
Type : Inbound
Data Definition: [ dropdown options are Access, Excel, XML, Flat Text, XML Schema. Were you referring this field as the 'Format' field.]
XML Schema: I selected DEBMDM05 from dropdown.
Client System : MDC (R/3 4.6 DEBMDM05)
Map: [ dropdown does not have any values to select and I can not type in that field]
If you are still with me, what are the correct settings for Client system and port?
How those settings are being used in Import Manager?
On Connect to Source dialogue screen what should I select/enter for following fields?
Type : [options are Access, Excel, ODBC, Oracle, Port, SQL Server, XML, XML Schema]
Should I be using Client System and Port or XML/XML Schema????
Client System: MDC (R/3 4.6 DEBMDM05)
Port : [ Why this value 'R3Import' is grayed out??? ]
Please help.

IChat Server: Receive error what transferring files

I was testing sending a file from home to work and the transfer failed. However I was able to transfer a file from work to home. I have port 7777 opened up on the server's firewall.
This is the error message:
raise CannotListenError, (self.interface, self.port, le)
twisted.internet.error.CannotListenError: Couldn't listen on XX.XX.X.XX:7777: [Errno 49] Can't assign requested address.

Somewhat strange. Perhaps something else is still listening on that port on the server. See what *netstat -p tcp -a* thinks about that port.

Cannot uninstall after error missing help file.

After an error that the help file is missing, I tried to uninstall the program so I could reinstall it. It will not uninstall and I cannot reinstall it using the original CD.

I got it fixed finally by doing your manual uninstall. Had to remove several components in the registry before it would finally reinstall. Thanks for getting back to me.

Cannot start server after manually editing config files

I tried to add a service to default .props, but any change causes the server to not start. If I edit an xml file, it complains about a missing tag; if its plain text, then it can't seem to set properties right. I don't even enter a carriage return.
I use vi to edit the files. Is there anything else I can use??

Sun Server 8.0 PE on Linux.
I added the httpjms value to the imq.service.activelist property in imq default.properties:
imq.service.activelist=jms,admin,httpjms
And that causes the server to not start with this error in server.log
MQ startup failed :[C4003]: Error occurred on connection creation [127.0.0.1:7676]. - cause: java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused

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
Default Batch Handling
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.

Import Server problem

Hello,
in the last days we experience some strange phenomena with the Import Server. For example, I created an XML import mapping for the standard repository "Material", created a port in the console and used the mapping there. Manual execution of the mapping worked fine. I dumped the file in the correspondent Ready-folder and the Import Server swallowed the file and progressed it.
So far so good.
I did this again, no problem. I tried a different file and got error messages, because the file format didn't match. But the Import Server still swallowed the file. Then I tried a larger file like the first one (the first one was just a 10-records-test), but no reaction. The Import Server did not swallow the file.
I read this thread: , stopped and started the MDM Server and the Import Server several times and then dumped files again - same result, even with the file with which it worked before.
I created a new mapping on Repository "Vendor" like the one on "Material", for the same file, no reaction. The Import Server seems to be sleeping.
Anyone faced a similar situation before? Any suggestions what I could do to resolve the problem?
Best regards,
Jörg

Some additional information on my problem:
The second file read the following error once for each record I wanted to read:
So there IS only one root element. The test file with which it worked before has exactly the same start/end.
This was the last logfile.

IMPORT 시 발생하는 ORA-1658 ERROR에 대해서

제품 : ORACLE SERVER
작성날짜 : 2002-04-08
IMPORT 시 발생하는 ORA-1658 ERROR 처리
=======================================
PURPOSE
IMPORT시에 ORA-1658 ERROR가 발생할 경우의 해결책을 알아본다.
Problem Description
이 error 는 import 시 특정 tablespace 에 table 생성이 불가능할 때
발생하는 error 이다 .
이는 EXPORT 시 EXPORT OPTION 중의 하나인 COMPRESS OPTION의 값을
'YES' 로 하여 받았을 경우 (DEFAULT 값이 YES임) TABLE 의 EXTENT가
일어난 모든 부분이 INITIAL 로 묶여지게 되며 IMPORT 시 INITIAL 만큼의
연속된 영역이 TABLESPACE 에 있어야만 IMPORT 시 이 ERROR 가 발생하지
않는다.
Solution Description:
1) error 가 발생한 tablespace 를 check 하여 해당 tablespace 를 늘려준다.
disk 가 충분한 경우에 해주는 방안이다.
2) 미리 import할 user 영역에 initial을 적절하게 주어 table을 생성한다.
그리고 import 시 ignore=y option 을 주어 import 한다 .
만일 이 경우 table script가 없으면 export받은 dump file로부터 얻을
수 있다.
strings expdat.dmp | grep 'CREATE TABLE' >> tables.sql
3) import 시 ora-1658 에러를 예방하기 위해서는 export 시 compress
option 을 no 로 하여 export 를 한다.

How to use Port to make a connection between Import Server and Source

Hi guys,
I wanna make a Import Server and Manager work with a MDM Repository and a Client System. I want the Import Server could listen the port, whenever the Client System want to sent some files to the Import Server, the Server could automatically import files.
I know how to import a file by hand, but how to make it automatical? Use Port in Type?
Regards
Wang Yu
Message was edited by: Yu Wang

Hi,
You can automate the Import or Syndication process using Ports.
Requirements:
1. Import Server need to be Installed.
2. Client Systems need to be defined for the repository.
3. Create the Port with type Inbound (for Import process). OutBound (for Syndication process)
4. Associate a predefined map with the Port.
Note:
Each port is associated with only one map.
While creating the ports, When you select the client system, it only populates the maps defined for that client system.
Make sure if you want to use the same client system for both import and syndication.
Specify the Client system type as "Inbound/Outbound"
Steps involved:
Using MDM Console, In the repository Admin section
1. Select Client Systems-> this is where you have to define the Client Systems , which you are going to use for the ports.
Make sure you have define the Import Maps for the specific repository,specific Client System using Import Manager.
2. Select Ports->This is where you create Port and other related information related to it.
Once the Port is created, You see a specific directory structure created in the MDM Server installation directory
<<MDM Server Install_Dir>> ->Distributions -> <<DBMSHOST_DBMS_TYPE>> -> <<Repository Name>> ->
<<Port Type>> -> <<Client System ID>> ->
<<Port Code>>
Under the above sturcture it will have the following directories
-> Ready
-> Archive
-> Status
-> Log
Ready Folder :
-> In Import Process the import Server will pick up the file from this directory based on the specifc interval you specify in mdis.ini file(This can be found in Import Server installation directory).
Archive Folder:
-> Once the file is picked by the Import Server from Ready folder and if it is processed then the file will be moved to this di
rectory with some date stamp suffixed.
Log Folder:
->Log information for that process
Status Folder:
->Status of process will be kept in this folder.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards
