MDM Integration to EP - merge records

Hello,
We need to provide functionality of Merge MDM records on EP.
Is this standard MDM functionality is available on EP?? or
Any standard Business Package is available???
Or
This can be done with Java WD??

Hi,
We didn't implemented it yet, we just researched...
I checked release note of SP05 and feel it has many bugs fixed, so personally i feel it worth to upgrade. As of today, current version of MDM 7.1 Sp05 is patch 9 which released yesterday itself..

Syndication of merged records to multiple backend systems (MDM 7.1)

Hi all,
I have setup an MDM scenario with >1 ECC systems connected to MDM via PI. Everything works fine in terms of end-to-end process from ECC to MDM or MDM to ECC (creation, update, syndication). I have also merged records in MDM from the same backend system and am able to see the remote key information under 'edit key mappings' and when I update the merged records in mdm the data is olso updated in ECC.
BUT the update in ECC does not work for merged records where the keys are from different backend systems.
Example:
Remote system: RS1 and RS2
I have merged two records, one from RS1 and the other from RS2. The newly created record has two key mappings (RS1/RS2). Also the newly created record shows - let's say - RS1 in MDM and the the RS2 informaion is attached as remote system information. When modifying the record in MDM, only RS1 is updated but not RS2.
Remote Systems RS1 and RS2 are set up in the Cosole. Also I have setup a port for each remote system. Syndication in general works perfectly without any problem. I know that I have to trigger syndication for each port but still does not work. Any ideas?
Thanks!!!
BR,
Erdal
P.S. I am using MDM 7.1

Hi Erdal,
OK, I assumed a setup like this.
> in 5.5 there was "Output Remote Systems" whereas in 7.1 we don't have
You have this one in 7.1, too. "Output Remote Systems" was renamed to "Remote Key Override". I don't know why, but the functionality is exactly the same.
> "Supress Unchange Records" is checked
This explains the behaviour that you are facing. "Supress Unchanged Records" is used to distribute only these records that have been changed. What happens inside MDM is the following.
MDM Server creates kind of a change pointer for the changed record AND for each remote system that record belongs to:
Imagine you have a record A with a key for RS1 and RS2 each. You change this record. MDS creates two change pointers A-RS1 and A-RS2.
Now you switch to Syndicator and distribute the records with the port for RS1, but with "Remote Key Override" for both RS1 and RS2. Syndicator creates a single message and includes both the remote keys for RS1 and RS2. Furthermore it deletes BOTH change pointers A-RS1 and A-RS2 as the record was distributed for BOTH systems!
If you then connect with Syndicator to the port for RS2 and start the syndication, Syndicator cannot find any change pointers and thus won't create a message.
If you want to send the golden record to different systems, I'd suggest to add each system to MDM Console. Create a syndication map & port FOR EACH system. Within the map use the target system only as "Remote Key Override". Use "Supress Records without key" to exclude those records, that do not have a remote key for the target system. Use "Supress unchanged records" if you want to distribute only the changed records.
If you need a message having all keys of all systems (e.g. to update a BI system with grouping information), create a specific remote system for this purpose. Create a map & port, the map shall now use the "Remote Key Override" for all systems. The "Supress" settings can be made as above, but especially for BI we're recommending to syndicate always all records (do not "Supress unchanged records").

Unable to MERGE-Err Msg "MDM Server Failed to Merge the Selected Records"

Hi Friends,
I am using a Match Strategy in the Workflow. In the START Process of the workflow I CHECK OUT the records. In the step MATCH / MERGE when I try to MERGE similar records I get the Error Message "MDM Server Failed to Merge the Selected Records".
But the same step works fine when I dont CHECK OUT (CHECK OUT = NO) the records in the START STEP. But this would not be the right way to do it, as the incoming duplicate records would be visible in the Data Manager by other users even before it is merged.
Your inputs would be greatly appreciated to tackle this problem.
Thanks.

Hi Ravi,
The workflow steps are as follows: (I am on MDM 5.5 and SP 6)
Start (Check Out)   -
> Process -
> Validate -
> Match    (Manual Merge)   -
> Approve----
> Stop    (Check In)
                                                                                The Match and Merge step is a Manual step in the Workflow.
I Check out the records when i start the Workflow and Once the entire process is complete I check in the record. What is happening is that it does not allow me to Merge the records and I get the Error message.
If i dont Check out the Incoming records and run the workflow it Merges fine. But this would not be correct as the Incoming records(whihc could be duplicates) would be visible in the system until they are merged.
Your Input woould be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

R/3 - Xi - MDM integration Scenario.

Hi experts,
We are working on R/3 XI MDM integration scenario for Customer master wherein requirement is to consolidate the u201CGeneral datau201D but at the same time we need to retain u201Csales area datau201D for each record as it is.
For example, In sap ECC system we have Master record (Which is duplicate) as mentioned below,
Id   Name           Sales Area.
1    Neethu      SA1
2    Neethu Joy     SA2
After merging two duplicate records general data we will have a single record in data manager. Further we want to link Sales Area Data to same consolidated record. Final picture in MDM data manager should look like this,
Id   Name           Sales Area.
1   Neethu      SA1; SA2
Can anyone suggest a solution? How we can u201Cappendu201D Sales area data to Consolidated General master data. How we can deal with u201CDelta Recordsu201D to achieve the same Output..??
Matter is most urgent...Points will be rewarded.
Cheers,
Rajesh Chavan

Hi Rajesh,
On merging two duplicate records, generally data merge as a single record in data manager.So i would suggest in this case
You have to change your Repository design and MAP. you can achieve this, Firstly For Sales Area you have to make this lookup field(Multi-Valued) in main table which will lookup to SubTable say SalesA for which Multi-Valued is YES.
Now come to Import Manager, Here during Map as you have
Id Name Sales Area.
1 Neethu SA1
2 Neethu Joy SA2
Map first Source Sales Area Field with Name(DF) when you select SalesA as your Current Destination Table then import Main table records as ususal here in which you also map Sales Area source field with Sales Area which is lookup field(Multi-Valued) in main table
IN Data Manager, During Merge Records when you select Sale Area field as SA1 in Merged Record for Id 1 then Right Click on SA2 for Id 2 here your append Option will get enabled using this you can get desired output as
Id Name Sales Area.
1 Neethu SA1; SA2
Rewards if useful....
Hope it will help you,

Problem with merge records

Hi All,
My problem statement is as follows -
I have Customer Master data coming from a single client having some duplicates (internal). I have imported the data and merged the duplicates in the Data Manager client. Now while merging the records I am ending up with only a single record corresponding to say two merged records.
I have to send this data to BW where report has to be generated based upon the consolidated Master data.
Now my problem is that when I am syndicating the data I am able to send only a single merged record to BW however in BW the transactios are running on both the records (i.e both duplicate records).
Is there any way through which I can let both records be passed to BW (even after a merge operation in MDM)?
P.S. I have to retain the different Customer IDs after de-duplication (consolidation) as transactions have taken place over them.
Regards,
Pooja

Hi
I had same problem. Here to solve this you need to have right XSD defined with Root Element for syndication. Usually while extracting of xml you dont get the source id and key by default. You have to map the Roots for this then only the Source id and key will be exported. Also while syndicating the XML is generated for all the sources that you contiain in your repository but only the orginal source pointing to the record will contain the referece to that respective system. so in XI you need to export only the recrod entry from XML which contains the Source system id and key into BI.
Hope this answers you.

CCB-MDM Integration -- F1_SYNC_REQ_IN_REL_OBJ

Hi All,
We are configuring and installaing the CCB-MDM integration media pack 3.1.1, all the process are went successsfully other than
the Business Object schema name is required error message in the batch run tree after running the D1-SILCN batch to load the Initial Contact info in MDM environment.
After debugging the logs found that the following query has been executed by the batch process which returns the empty result since the F1_SYNC_REQ_IN_REL_OBJ table itself empty.
select
relatedobj0_.F1_SYNC_REQ_IN_ID as F1_1_, relatedobj0_.MAINT_OBJ_CD as MAINT2_1_,
relatedobj0_.REL_OBJ_TYPE_FLG as REL3_1_, relatedobj0_.F1_SYNC_REQ_IN_ID as F1_483_0_,

Anybody has idea of, is the MDB or Batch or any other process will populate the records to the F1_SYNC_REQ_IN_REL_OBJ table.
Kindly help us to proceed.

Merging records - how to handle deleted records?

hi,
can anyone tell me what is the proper way to handle
deleted records during records update ?
let's say I have 2 customers and I merge them into one
so I need to send to transactional systems that the deleted one
should not longer be active - but how to achive that
(sending deletion info) in MDM ?
thank you for your help,
Regards,
michal

Hi Michal,
MDM does not delete any records when it merges them. whenever you merge any two records the local id is never lost, it is always present in the edit key mapping.
You can see this info by right clicking on record and select edit key mapping. You will find both the record entries there.
With proper mapping in syndicator, you can get this information for both the records. while mapping map the 'VALUE' field in the source items to the 'LOCAL ID' field in the destination item.
Please let me know if this not help completely and if you have more doubts.

Different options to merge records automatically?

Hi All,
Can any one please do let me know what are the different options/ways we can automatically merge a record?
Regards,
Rajeev

Hi Rajeev,
In addition to what I already mentioned,let me jot down my 2 cents here:
If in any case you are going for automatic merging of records,then you have to assumption/decions to make.
I mean you will either have to assume that your repository data is in very good shape and final merged record will take all the field data in MDM OR the source is in better shape and final field value should be picked from incoming record.
Now if you assume the former,that implies data is in good shape,then question comes how come duplicates are still there?
In case you use later assumption,you would have to ensure that data is in best shape through Validations/Assignments/Approvals and also take a call that MDM is storing data only for reporting purpose or hormonization also.
The following blog can give a fair idea regarding the code :
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b080b97d-8194-2c10-fa97-dd5940195384?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
In all its a risky venture when you are going ahead with assumption with critical master data as it can cost big to business.
Thanks,
Ravi

How can I save individual merged records automatically in seperate folder?

I have several hundred records to pull in via a mailmerge.
one record per page and one per document.
I can do the merge fine, however at present it just keeps all of the records open until I save them which means I can only do these in batches else indesign crashes.
Is there a way I can get indesign to automatically save each individually merged record into a seperate folder? Ideally naming the saved document after two of the fields so the naming convention would be <<id>>-<<name>>
I've seen some stuff about scripting being available to indesign and I don't mind doing the reading and putting in the work to make this happen - Can anyone point me in the direction of any scripting for indesign quickstart type guides or offer up any other suggestion of how the above may be achieved.
Many Thanks

There are a couple of ways that this could be done but it involves scripts. See the following adobe forum posts:

Reporting on Merged Records

I would like to know if there is a way to report on records that have been merged through Portal? It would be nice to be able to report which records have been merged over a time period (like within the last month), but if that is not possible, I am just looking for a way to report on merged records through other criteria. I heard that an iView is being developed to do this, but I can't find one for this functionality right now. I can display the Key Mapping info without a problem. But there is no way to search against this information.
Thanks,
Justin
Edited by: Justin Fountain on Apr 22, 2009 9:24 PM

I found the answer:
If you see the REP table, there is a column called REP_MAX_REP_SIZE which contains the maximum report size for each report. This value has a default value of 5000 for most of the reports. You can change this value to have a higher number so that the report returns the data. But increasing the number can reduce the response time since the number of records will be large.

Cisco ISE 1.2 MDM Integration Question

I have a working Cisco ISE 1.2.1 install which I've performed the integration to our MobileIron server. The "integration test" reports that the integration is good, but whenever ISE verifies MDM compliance, registration, etc.. with MobileIron when a mobile device connects it always reports that all statuses are good even if they aren't.
My test phone is out of compliance on Mobileiron because of an unapproved app, but when the phone connects ISE believes the MDM compliance status is good. I'm not sure if it isn't really checking with MDM or if the Mobileiron server is reporting erroneous results.
I also saw in a video that the phone has to be registered with MobileIron through ISE. Is this correct? I don't plan to on-board devices with MobileIron through ISE, it will be done directly through MobieIron (not connected to the Wifi network).
I only want ISE to check the compliance status of the device against MobileIron and quarantine if it isn't compliant or MDM registered.
Any help would be appreciated

Saurav and others,
Unfortunately, on-boarding sets some attribute fields on the endpoints that will then allow them to participate in a policy. It is nice that we all have MDM integration working but we almost need another class of on-boarding for corporate devices that are already in the MDM of choice (where we prefer to manage them!)
There is a little documented feature in ISE.
It appears to me that;
the on-boarding turns on the following states for the endpoint;
BYODRegistration
No ( No becomes Yes)
DeviceRegistrationStatus
NotRegistered (becomes Registered)
( The device is actually registered in MobileIron - this means did ISE register with MI. )
No MI attributes will work without this magic. TAC engineers I have dealt with don't seem to understand this feature.
This is definitely an enhancement that is needed.

R/3 u2013 XI u2013 MDM integration scenario - Standard import Maps problem

Hi Data Masters,
We are working on R/3 u2013 XI u2013 MDM integration scenario for Vendor Object. We have extracted main table Data using u201CMDM_CLNT_EXTRu201D program. Now while importing the data in MDM we want to use u201CStandard business content i.e. Standard Import Maps (Name u2013 cremdm - 03 u201D but this maps are not mapping all the fields. So do we need to extend this maps..??
OK. Second, To create own maps we are facing following problems,
1) In source section many fields are reflecting twice means in two segments i.e. LFA1 and ADRMAS like Name, City, Street, country etcu2026 whereas in Target section we have one field for the same so how to maps this fields.
2) In source, There are few fields like ADRNR which have values but in target we donot have any fields to map for the same, so how to handle thisu2026

Indesign CS3 Data Merge "Merge Records" Command. Help?

I'm looking to automate the merging of a mountain of records. I have 587 tab-delimited text files with 40 records each. I want to process these via Data Merge using a single pre-designed template with built-in placeholders and variable data fields, including a variable barcode graphic. In the end, I want to create 704 multi-page, 6-up per page, indesign files with merged data, and 704 multi-page PDFs.
Here's where I am at. Using a combination of AppleScript, TextWrangler and InDesign CS3, I am able to set up a loop where I can open the single template, save it to a new file with a new name, change its data source to the appropriate text file, and as a test, make a PDF of the template using the correct export preset. What I cannot seem to do is get the template to perform a "Create Merged Document...".
In InDesign CS3's AppleScript dictionary there is a command called "Merge Records" under the Data Merge section. It appears to do exactly what I am after. But when I try to use it (and the good Lord knows I have tried numerous permutations), it only returns errors like "Adobe InDesign CS3 got an error: active document doesn't understand the merge records message."
Anyone know what I am doing wrong? I have set up a separate AppleScript for testing purposes that opens up the template, saves it under a new name, and attempts a "merge records" command. Here it is. Maybe someone smart out there can tell me what I am doing wrong.
set templatePath to "Welch_Jobs:0_JOBS:280019_Churchill:WPC FILES:Workup:280019_6up_master template.indt" as text -- the main template file that will be modified, saved with a new name, then merged with its data to create a new merge file
set newTemppath to "Welch_Jobs:0_JOBS:280019_Churchill:WPC FILES:Workup:goody.indd" as text
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
open file templatePath
tell active document
save to newTemppath
merge records
end tell
end tell
I have this feeling that this is a command that is actually unsupported. Google searches have been fruitless except for one poor soul who can't get it to work either. I have, however, seen that a similar JavaScript command exists called "DataMerge.mergeRecords". If it is impossible to do this via AppleScript, is it possible to make a JavaScript that will do it, and access the JavaScript with a "do script" command in the main AppleScript? If so, how would I accomplish this? What whould the JavaScript look like, and where do i need to put it?
I would greatly appreciate any help you, dear reader, can give me on this.

Well, did you look at the dictionary?:
merge recordsv : Merges records and produces an optional overset report.
merge records
data merge
output overset report file alias or
text] : The path to the file in which to store the overset report.
Note also that it's part of the Preferences Suite, not the Datamerge suite. Do you see differently?
Anyhow, you're clearly not calling it with a data merge parameter.
I also have a suspicion that it needs to not be inside a "tell active document" but it probably doesn't matter.
But my AppleScript is rusty.

MDM integrity between SRM and R/3

Hi All,
How MDM integrity of the process validations being made between SRM and R/3 for the creation of different documents.
Please share me any documents regarding MDM intergirty between SRM and R/3. This is not related to Catalogs,
1. Creation of documents like GOA in SRM and distributed to R/3. How MDM will validate that data.
2 If same material available in different backend system. while creating Contract in SRM, MDM should check the R/3 materials in MDM
3. How to integrity works for Vendors.
