MDM Syndication - IDOC mapping ?

Hi Gurus,
I was going thru the following blog.
MDM Syndication
/people/harrison.holland5/blog/2006/11/27/mdm-syndication
What is the purpose of remote system(ECC) in MDM ? Is it required to get IDOC structure from ECC into MDM repository ?
If so, what are the pre requisites/configurations required for connection to ECC from MDM. Is it enough to mention technical/Logical name of ECC server (as in SLD) for creating remote system in MDM ?
Appreciate your help

Ports(Outbound) is for automating the Syndication.
You create Ports in MDM Console.
You do NOT have to import the IDoc structure into MDM.
MDM is not like Integration Repository of XI. You do not have to import the Idoc structure at all.
SAP provides business content (out of the box) for the XI - MDM mapping.
File Adapter of XI(Inbound to XI) picks up the created xml file.
In the outbound side of XI, Idoc Adapters are used.
In the port definition of MDM, you specify the map to be used to syndicate the data.
SAP delivers the map and XSD for predefined Repository like Material, Customer, Vendor, Business Partner etc..

IDoc mapping for VMI

Hello,
We'd like to store the idoc data extracted from EDI 852 inbound transaction in an infocube for DP. SAP Note 154604 suggests that trx /sapapo/map_tser can be used for specifying the infocube.
However, in SCM 4.1, this trx has a field for PA only, not infocube. I was wondering how to pull the data into infocube.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Malli

Hello,
 I'm afraid that i can not help you.
 I am witting you because i am trying to get information about VMI/ SMI implementation, for ex. IDOC mapping, best practices, etc.
 I will be appreciate if you can provide me this information.

Need to generate 2 idoc"mapping issue"

Hi Experts,
When the Purchase_order_type is coming like HIGH,REGULAR,NEW,BOUNCED. In this case i need to generate 2 idoc, based on HIGH is one and Other than HIGH is one, even though if it's REGULAR,NEW,BOUNCED.
I can't generate. pl suggest

selvam

Hi,
Please make sure you will sort the data in your select query.
Now, you need to have two idocs in mapping. Click on Duplicate Subtree to have second IDOC. Now lets assume, your first IDOC represents mapping when ORDER TYPE is HIGH and your second IDOC represents mapping when your ORDER TYPE is not equal to HIGH that is NEW, BOUNCED, REGULAR etc.
I have defined Source and Target data type as follows.
Source Data Type:
SDN
 <Row>
 <CQ_NO/>
 <ORDER_TYPE/>
 <LINE_NO/>
 </Row>
Target Data Type:
SDNTarget
 <IDOC>
 <Node>
 <CQ_NO/>
 <ORDER_TYPE/>
 <ItemNode>
 <LINENO/>
 </ItemNode>
 </Node>
 </IDOC>
Mapping for IDOC 1:
IDOC:
Order Type -->Fix Values --> remove context
Fix Values (This should have default u201Cfalseu201D and HIGH = true)
Concatenate Output of point 1 with CQ_NO (Context of CQ_NO should be at SDN)
Output of point 3 --> Split by value (value changed) -->collapse context
Output of point 4 will be first input to u201CStart withu201D function and second input will be constant u201Ctrueu201D
Output of Point 5 --> create if --> IDOC
Node:
Map with constant
CQ_NO:
Order Type --> Fix Values --> remove context
Fix Values (This should have default u201Cfalseu201D and HIGH = true)
Concatenate Output of point 1 with CQ_NO (Context of CQ_NO should be at SDN)
Output of point 3 --> Split by value (value changed)
User Format By example. Pass CQ_NO (Context of CQ_NO should be at Row) as first input and second input should be output of point 4.
Pass Output of format by example that is point no 5, to collapse context --> Split by value (Each Value) --> CQ_NO
ORDER_TYPE
Order Type --> Fix Values --> remove context
Fix Values (This should have default u201Cfalseu201D and HIGH = true)
Concatenate Output of point 1 with CQ_NO (Context of CQ_NO should be at SDN)
Output of point 3 --> Split by value (value changed)
User Format By example. Pass ORDER_TYPE (Context of CQ_NO should be at Row) as first input and second input should be output of point 4.
Item Node:
Order Type --> Fix Values --> remove context
Fix Values (This should have default u201Cfalseu201D and HIGH = true)
Concatenate Output of point 1 with CQ_NO (Context of CQ_NO should be at SDN)
Output of point 3 --> Split by value (value changed)
Output of point 4 will be first input to u201CStart withu201D function and second input will be constant u201Ctrueu201D
Output of Point 5 --> create if --> IDOC

MDM IDOC Mapping: segments don't seem to be grouped properly

Hi! I'm been struggling with implementing MDM 5.5 SP3, where I have successfully extracted IDOCs (materials, vendors, customer) and have been using the mapping tool to map IDOC fields to MDM data structures.
My issue is when I map the IDOC fields to structures, the record segments don't seem to keep their record grouping --as a result, when searching the data in the MDM Data Manager, the tables act independently (the records don't seem to be linked).
I've been able to load the validation tables with the help of the MDM BLOG prior to the data load.
I've also encountered other issues, as the MDM import manager triggers windows errors (stops working) when maps become complex.
I'm using qualified tables; I tried to use the SAP delivered content, but the many required / dependent fields are not available or not maintained in my R/3 source systems. So, I've created my own repositories with only 20 fields (three qualified tables) in hopes to get a working model (so far no luck).
Thank you in advance for any help or comments.
John Strazdins

Hi John:
"and have been using the mapping tool to map IDOC fields to MDM data structures."
Yo should be using the import maps already in the standard business content for SP3 (They come as .map files in the SP3 distribution files). This way it works very fine and you don't have to develop anything, just use the standard mappings. It really doesn't matter if you are not using all of the fields, it works fine if they are empty.
"I've also encountered other issues, as the MDM import manager triggers windows errors (stops working) when maps become complex."
I had that problem too. The only workarround I've found was to save the map as soon as you make a join or clone any field, then exit import manager and open it again.

Mapping Cust Mast XML (Generated from MDM) to IDOC

Question: I am having trouble mapping the KNVI segment (repeating node) to the Cust Master (DEBMAS) idoc. MDM does not support nested repeatable records (qualified records) on their end. I have the KNVI records generated (serially) in MDM. I want to map these to the repeating node idoc structure. I am very new to SAP (so, I hope the explanation of my problem makes sense). Thanks! I want to map individual KNVI segments (i.e. Tax Country1/Tax Category1/Tax Classif. 1; Tax Country 2/Tax Category 2/Tax Classif. 2; etc.... to the repeating node in the idoc KNVI segment (ALAND/TATYP/TAXKD). Is there a way to handle in XI?
Thanks for any insight!

Hi, any feedback in this one ?

Sender / Receiver on DEBMAS customer IDOCs mapped from XI

Hello XI experts,
I'm hoping you can help me resolve a question.
In our system, customers are maintained in an AFS ERP system. They are then distributed to MDM, via XI, using DEBMDM messages.
We have a second (Retail) ERP system that also needs the customer data. An XI colleague has created a mapping, so that the DEBMDM IDOC from AFS is mapped to DEBMAS and ADRMAS IDOCs, which are sent to AFS.
Functionally this works fine: the customer data from AFS goes to both MDM and retail as expected.
The question is on the IDOCs arriving in Retail. They have the same logical system for the Sender and Receiver, which is the Retail logical system. So it looks like the IDOCs have been created in Retail and then processed, rather than being created in XI. However in XI, in transaction IDX5, we can see IDOC numbers. I'm a developer with no XI experience, so I may be misunderstanding how XI works.
- Does XI actually create an IDOC locally and then send it out?
- Or would XI be calling some kind of RFC in my Retail system to build the IDOC there?
- If the IDOC is built locally, can anyone suggest why I am getting the sending partner to be the same as the receiver?
Even if the sending and receiving systems are set in the XI mapping, the values still get overwritten with the Retail logical system.
Many thanks, Roger

Roger,
In the Receiver IDoc Adapter , 3 options are available.
Apply Cntrol Record Values From payload.
When you select this option, the values of these fields are filledfrom the idoc payload,
+MESCOD
· MESCFT
· TEST
· EXPRSS
· STD
· STDVRS
· STDMES
· SNDSAD
· SNDLAD
· RCVSAD
· RCVLAD
· REFINT
· REFGRP
· REFMES
· STATUS
· DIRECT
· OUTMOD
· CREDAT
· CRETIM+
Take Sender From Payload
Selecting this fills the values for Sender System with values of SNDPRN and SNDPRT.
Take receiver from payload
Receiver Partner Names values are filled from the payload with values of RCVPRN and RCVPRT.
These are the only values from which you can pass the value from payload, rest of the fields are filled by default.

Idocs mapping

Hi All,
I have a question here.
Whenever we Syndicate from MDM an XML file which is using the MATMAS05 structure,we can view only the data segments and their fields in the destination preview that means,we are not syndicating the control and status segment.Will this not cause the idocs to fail as the control seg contains some required fields.
If we are using XI in the scenario,will it be able to do the control and status segment mapping without MDM syndicating those segments to XI in the xml file.
How do we take care of this?
Useful answers will be rewarded
Regards
Simona

Becky/Simona,
If you have gone through the blog provided by Maheswri, then please see the first method of sending Idoc, it says if dont click checkbox and disable the segment, the control record will go with default values.
I think Simona is sending data segment only from MDM not control segment. so just do mapping and try according to that blog.
Please also read this from help.sap.com:
Apply Control Record Values from Payload or not:
If you set the indicator, the conversion of communication parties to the IDoc partner is only possible for systems that are not logical systems.
If you do not set the indicator, all combinations of communication parties and services are handled as services without party.
If the IDoc XML structure contains a control record during outbound processing on the Integration Server, it is rejected and created again by the IDoc adapter. If you want to include additional values in the control record, set the indicator and provide an appropriate mapping for the values. See also: Fields of the IDoc Control Record.
So i think the scenario should work without control record .

Mdm syndication demmdm06 issue..

Hi,
we are using mdm 7.1.03.53.
In customer repository, we added url communication as qualified table as this is not part of standard mdm content.
But,In standard debmdm06.xsd we have E1BPADURI as repeatable ( max ocurrs 9999999). (under ADRMAS)
In syndication map, we see repatable unchecked for E1BPADURI and we are not able to change the flag.
Can anyone throw a light on this?

Hi,
In DEBMDM06.XSD, uNDER E1ADRMAS We have the following segments defined like this. All segments minouccurs "0" and maxoccurs "999999999". But, in syndicator map E1BPADTEL,E1BPADFAX,E1BPADSMTP only can see as repeatable.
why other segments are not repeatable?
Can anybody check this xsd in 7.1 and tell me?

MDM Syndication selection option restrictions

Hi all,
In the MDM Syndicator is it possible to only syndicate certain details of the header record for a header and detail hierarchy structure?
For our Scenario, GL Account has the hierarchy as a Single Chart of Accounts assigned to multiple Company Code records.
· GL Account Master Record
· Chart of Account Details (SKA1 - Header)
 o Company Code Details (SKB1 - Detail)
In the repository we have SKA1 as the Main table and SKB1 as a sub table within SKA1. While the content is imported it comes in as 1 Record with multiple Company code level details. Is there anyway to restrict the selection for syndication for a given SKA1 - Header and get only the selected SKB1 - Details syndicated?
For example if for Chart of Account has 5 company codes A, B, C, D and E. Can we restrict the syndication of the of the record with selected company code details only (Example B and D - without the details for A, B, C being syndicated).
I appreciate the time.
Thanks,
-Raj.

Hi Raj
Here I do have some suggestions regarding your request, correct me if i am wrong, basically you are looking to syndicate the records by applying the filter row wise or column wise.
Row wise : Required all the field but search criteria as one or two fields ( for example filtering based on COA and Company code).
Column wise : Required only few fields to be syndicate, either row wise filter applied or not.
Hope I understood your question.
Solution:
Row wise : Use search parameter tab, search for particular COA and Company code and save the search for future purpose [from MENu SEARCH->SAVE SEARCH].
Column wise : Create Destination items for the fields which u want to syndicate and try to map those fields wt Original source items and try to syndicate the same.
Hope I have covered the point what you expected.
thanks
Alexander
P.S. Kindly reward the points, i found helpful.

MDM Exception: Key mapping value must be unique. You cannot overwrite key

"ServerException: Key mapping value must be unique. You cannot overwrite key mapping values."
I received such exception when code tried to manipulate Key Mappings of the record.
error was not happen on mdm 5.5 but on 7.1 it sometimes appears.
What is probable reason of this?
How to resolve this ?
Code is approximate so:
 String[] keys = keyMapping.getKeys();
 if (recordKeyMapping.containsKeyMapping(remoteSystem)) {
 recordKeyMapping.replace(remoteSystem, keys);
 else {
 recordKeyMapping.addKeyMapping(keyMapping);
 //Persist
 targetRecord.update();
//where methods are:
 public void replace(RemoteSystem remoteSystem, String[] keys) {
 KeyMapping keyMapping = getKeyMapping(remoteSystem);
 if (keyMapping == null) throw new IllegalArgumentException("Can't update keys: key mapping for the system '" + remoteSystem + "' is not found");
 else {
 keyMapping.setKeys(keys);
 public void addKeyMapping(KeyMapping keyMapping) {
 RemoteSystem remoteSystem = keyMapping.getRemoteSystem();
 for(int i = 0; i < keyMapping.size(); i++) {
 addKey(remoteSystem, (String) keyMapping.get(i));

Hello -
I am not sure on that coding part. but is it like are you trying to retrive Key Mapping from Memory accelerator. Here this information always needs to be read from Database.
I am sure you also maintained the required attribute for key mapping as in Property in Console should be set as "Yes" and other relevant things properly .
Here also go through the below link for more insight from tools perspective.

Issue in segment creation for File to IDOC mapping

Hi,
I have file with many feilds, i need to create a segment in IDOC for unique combination of 2 feilds.
eg:
408
430050
segment
208
430050
segment
208
430050
208
460100
segment
208
452010
segment
408
432000
segment
208
432000
segment
the value for the combination of first column and 2nd column are equal it should trigger one segment instead of 2segments else(for different combination) trigger the segment
eg from table:
in table for 208,430050 is occuring twice but it should trigger only one segment(unique combinations of 2 columns), for all other combinations it should trigger one segment for each.

Hi Swapna,
You can use below mapping.
UDF:
Execution type : All Values Of Context
public void removeDuplicates(String[] context, ResultList result, Container container) throws StreamTransformationException{
HashSet<String> hashSet = new HashSet<String>();
 for (int i = 0; i < context.length; i++) {
 if (hashSet.add(context[i]))
 result.addValue(context[i]);
 else {
 result.addSuppress();

IDOC mapping 1 to 0..unbounded problem in PI 7.1

All,
We've recently implemented SAP PI 7.1 but we face an issue at the moment. Let me describe the case
We have a Source message which is the DEBMAS IDOC.
Within the IDOC we use mappings for Header data and for Detail Data.
Mapping the header data is no issue that is a 1 to 1 message mapping to our canonical data.
BUT
When we want to use the message split mapping in order to extract the detail data PER line we have discovered a problem.
When within a message mapping or within the operation mapping we use as Source the IDOC ( occurancy 1 ) and the target we take our detail canonical message (occurancy 0..unbounded) we are getting the message in our mapping that the IDOC cannot be resolved.
When we change the target occurancy to 1 then the mapping works well.
Is there any one facing the same issues as we do.
thanks in advance

This is an issue with queues with different length. You should always avoid this, as you cannot be sure, what happens.
Instead of assigning a single entry queue to a target that expects a multiple entry queue, you should go for a generating function. A generating function delivers as many queue entries as requested.
In your scenario, just use an empty constant. Of you have a value to be repeated, use CopyValue.

Stefan

Help required in Idoc mapping!!

Hi,

E1BPE1WLMV (0.....999)
     field1
E1BPE1MALG (0.....999)
      field2
Target
Details
     field3
My requirement is that :
field 3 should b mapped to only the first occurence of field1. (and not the subsequent occurences).
     Please suggest how can i proceed ?

Thanks guys...but I have got some more inputs for my requirement now:
Source:
Idoc
Header
E1BPE1WLMV (0.....999)
field1
E1BPE1MALG (0.....999)
field2

Details
field3 (= field1)
field4 (=field2)
The Details should be created for unique combination of field1 and field 2. For e.g.
Field 1 comes 2,3,4
Field 2 comes 1,5
Then detail should be created 6 times for
field1= 2 & field2= 1
field1= 2 & field2= 5
field1= 3 & field2= 1
field1= 3 & field2= 5
field1= 4 & field2= 1
field1= 4 & field2= 5
Could you please help ?
