MDM Value Mapping - Basic

Dear All,
I have the field mapping set for the Vendor Repository. I have some values in my extract files (source value) and i want them to be automatically mapped to the ( destination value). How do i go about it.
Points will be rewarde.
Best Regards,
SK

Hi Sathya Kumar,
After doing field mapping the valuesshould also be mapped(lookup values).
1. You can use the Auto map option for mapping automatically.
2. If the values in source are different from destination then add the values in destination manually.
3. I f you are not able to find the add option for adding the values then goto>match records & uncheck the fields in the right pane & then try adding recotrds.
Reward points if useful.

Field mapping and value mapping - Basic

Hi,
Assuming I have a repository containing a main table with 3 fields
1)Product
2)Description
3)Manufacturer (lookup field)
When i map the source file to the destination repository
1) i map fields product and description of the source file and destination repository.
2) map the manufacturer field between the source file and destination repository.
3)Value map the contents of the manufacturer field between the source and destination.
If i have a source file like this.
Product                                         Description                                Manufacturer
a                                                         a                                              Hindustan lever
b                                                         b                                              Hindustan lever
a                                                         a                                              P&G
b                                                         b                                              P&G
Since i have made the manufacturer field a lookup field, it can hold the lookup values Hindustan lever and P&G.
what happens to prduct ? i have made only a field mapping. Will the values a & b be stored in the destination repository this way?
Is a value mapping required for product as well to hold both the values?
Please help
Thanks,
Vignesh

Hi Vignesh,
You do not have to value map it. Import managerwill automatically assign both the values to product a and b. Basically it is set in the configuration options of the import manager. There is a setting "merge source records based on matching field". If that option is set to yes, both the values will be assigned to product a and b respectively.

Value Mapping Table - XI MDM Design Question

Hi All,
I have a scenario as :
When XI receives data from a sender system,before sending data to receiver system (in this case MDM),XI is supposed to check some fields in MDM and depending on the result XI should decide whether to send the records or not.
Now,in this case I have two options:
1.After recieving data from sender system ,from XI mapping call a webservice(webservice is supposed to go to MDM and check the fields and give the result),then depending on the result XI will decide whether to send or not.
2.After receving data from sender system,from XI mapping access a value look table in XI from a UDF and then check the result,then depending on the result XI will decide whether to send or not.
I have pointed out some glitches for every option:
1.First considering volume of XI source message( approx. 800 records per message),then MDM database records (approx 40000 or 50000).Hence once XI receives message XI will have to go to MDM for every record and every time it will search among 40000 MDM records using webservice.
This will effect performance as for every record webservice will be called and again it might face connection problems.
2.In this option XI will have to store all the 40000 records from MDM in the value lookup table.Again,how to synch up this value lookup table with MDM database?
This table has to be a copy of MDM database which changes everyday.
Is it ok to store around 40000 records in XI's value lookup table?
Considering above points can you please help me to find out optimum solution?
Thanks,
Shweta.

>>Is it ok to store around 40000 records in XI's value lookup table?
its advised to use value mapping for static values,not for dynamic values,since you will have changes everyday you should not use Value mapping here.
now coming to your first approach,why not copy this table from MDM to XI(i know XI is not the owner of data,but if its an internal MDM server,you should be able to do it),once the table is copied in XI itself,you can simply use ABAP mapping to create the receiver structure.
the above approach looks good to me as long as the MDM guys don't have any problem with XI storing the data as well and you sync up the table between XI and MDM periodically
Thanx

Partial match for Value Mapping in Import Manager

Hello Experts,
We have a import map which is used to do mass insert of data into the main table. This is done as & when required by the end user.
We have a qualified lookup field which has a flat lookup filed as the Non-Qualifier. This flat lookup field is refering to a Lookup Flat table, which has mulitple dispay fields like Code,Name, Status etc. (14 fields in total) where as only the Code is the unique field.
We have only the unique field in our source file which we use for the import. Since we have only a part of the display fields in the source, the automap functionality in the Value maping section doesn't work. It becomes very tedious for the user to manually map all the values for this field.
Is there any way by which we can convert the source or target values in the import map, so that we can map the values using the Automap feature?
Your help & suggestion for alternate approach is highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Uday
P.S. We are using SAP MDM 5.5 SP6.

Hi Uday,
No need to enable remote key mapping for QLT. Please execute the below steps(stated with an example) -
1. Among all the fields in the referenced lookup table, identify the lookup fields and the tables they are looking up .
For eg.If you have a lookup field as 'Country' as one of the fields, look up table will be 'Countries'
2.For the identified lookup tables, set 'key mapping =Yes' in Console.
For eg, For Country Lookup table ,set Key mapping to 'Yes'
3.Import values into Lookup table (Import manager)/ Remote key update -
In import manager, select source (local file) and destination as Countries flat table.This Table will be haing 2fields - Code and description.Clone the 'Code'field and map it to Remote key field in destination hierarchy.Map code and description to equivalent destination fields. Select 'Code' as matching field > Perform import into lookup table.
Check if the records in countries table are updated with remote keys(in Data manager> right click on a record> select 'Edit key mappings' > view key mapping for the record)
3.Import to Qualified table/Auto value mapping -
Now, in the import map for qualified import , map the source field and destination field (of lookup type), all the values of this field will automatically map.
Similarly, refresh remote keys mappings for all the lookup tables first and then you can see auto mappings of values happening for the lookup fields.

Value Mapping Issue in SAP XI

Hello All,
We are currently having an issue with our Value Mapping in SAP XI.
We have set up Value Mappings in Integration Builder : Configuration and for some reason, some works and some doesn't work.
For example, we have set up Value Mapping Scheme called "DDelTerm" with two Agencies "R2" and "MarketPlace".
Then we set up a message mapping with DDelTerm Value Mapping function + custom logic to basically convert the value from R2 to value for MarketPlace.
However when we test this Value Mapping, some works and some doesn't work.
The following is the test results from two separate runs.
C000
Input:     <YYLIKON>C000</YYLIKON>
Output:     <ShipmentTermsIdentifier>COL</ShipmentTermsIdentifier>
Y000
Input:     <YYLIKON>Y000</YYLIKON>
Output:     <ShipmentTermsIdentifier>00</ShipmentTermsIdentifier>
Can you think of a reason why the lookup of Y000 fails, yet C000 succeeds? We checked for trailing spaces, etc, and there aren't any. And the table has been activated.
Note: the two leading characters of the value returned from the Value Mapping are stripped, hence COL. So for Y000, we were expecting to see PPD.
Is there any configuration step we are missing here?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Jay Ko

Value mapping in Syndicator

Hi,
I would like to syndicate my source data to 3 remote systems.
Could you please help me to how to value map for a field to 3 remote systems. like for the same field Phone if remote system ABC then it should P123 if remote system BCD then it should be H456 if remote system CDE then it should be K789.
Could you please help in this regard.
Thanks you in advance.
Kiran.G

Hi Kiran,
As per your requirement
like for the same field Phone if remote system ABC then it should P123 if remote system BCD then it should be H456 if remote system CDE then it should be K789.
- What ever value you store in the field Phone in MDM only that values will go to the remote system.So if your MDM data manger has P123 series under the phone field only this value can go to all three remote systems.
- The purpose of the feature of multiple syndication to multiple remote sytems is in the case of consolidation of master records in case of duplicates.
- When you merge records coming from 3 diff remote sytems into one record after identifying them as duplicate records
ie for eg 1 rec is having phone P123 and the other is having A123 both are coming from 2 separate remote sytem as diff rec but in MDM they are identified as duplicate rec then we assign one of the phone number as global phone and this global info is syndicated to both teh systems.
- For this in MDM syndicator you need to map two fields Remote key and value from source to destination
- By doing this mapping the Remote system field will have the remote system name and the value will have the local phone number.
What you want can be achieved using Assignment.
maintain a field in MDM storing the remote system name and based on that name assign the phone key.
Hope it helps
Kindly reward points if found useful

Value Mapping in XI. Is it a curse or blessing?

Dear Experts,
We are using XI extensively for few B2B scenarios, we are using Value mapping in XI extensively to map the values of like Material,valuation type etc.
We are not finding the value mapping user freindly to deal with as now the load is increasing.
1. I would like to know is there any alternative for this in XI.
2. Please provide me the detail help of Value mapping, what more i can do to make it flexible. All documents on value mapping is wlecome.
thanks and regards,
Ravi Siddam

Hi,
>>>2. Please provide me the detail help of Value mapping, what more i can do to make it flexible
it's always good to ask en experienced XI consultant before making decitions like storing material mapping
in value mapping table
this is not a place to do it:
a) how can business users add some more values ? (do business users have access to ID?)
b) SAP bast practice documents say that VM tables should not be used for high volumes
if you do the material mapping there are two ways:
either map in sender/receiver system
or use the SOA approach and do a sync call in a mapping to a MDM database
so my proposal - remove value mapping now for material mapping as you will do it later anyway

Value Mapping Replication - 7.31

hi,
      working on a requirement of value mapping replication on 7.31 environment.
       I have used the standard - ValueMappingReplication service interface as the receiver as it is an async scenario.
       My sender structure is similar to the ValueMappingReplication. I am using a SOAP UI to hit the PI server. I have downloaded the WSDL from the ID and used it as a request.
So it is basically a soap sender ( from SOAP UI ) to SOAP Receiver - async. - I am using Transport Protocol - HTTP and Message Protocol - X13.0
I have registered the URL -http://<Server>:<Port>/ProxyServer/register?ns=http://sap.com/xi/XI/System&interface=ValueMappingReplication&bean=localejbs/sap.com/com.sap.xi.services/ValueMappingApplication&method=valueMappingReplication (for the asynchronous replication scenario)
--- how do i hit the Java proxy servlet ? to update the data on PI runtime cache?
- wht url should i use ? -/MessagingSystem/receive/JPR/XI/http://<Server>:<Port>/ - is this correct ?

Hello,
Use this URL in SOAP receiver channel
http://<host>:<port>/MessagingSystem/receive/JPR/XI

Value Mapping and graphical mapping

Hi all
I am learning value mapping and
all function used in graphical mapping ..
can anybody send me inforamtion regarding tht.
Any link appericiated.

Hi Nagsen,
Mapping is basically done to convert one form of xml into another form. This can be done using either of them mentioned below.
- Graphical mapping
- XSLT mapping
- JAVA mapping
- ABAP mapping

Upload value mapping - migration from Requisite

Hi all,
We have some rules set up in Requisite that maps for example a category code provided by the supplier ot a material group code. Currenlty, I have been manually maintaining the value mapping in Import Manager. I am wondering whether there is a way to load the mappings (mainly the VALUE mapping) which we already have available in Requsition (exported may in excel or csv format)?
Appreciate any help on that.
Cheers!
SF

Hi SF
I dont think this is possible. for the first time you need to do the value mapping manually and save the map for the next uses.
A workyround can be to use conversion tables in XI/PI and convert the values before posting to MDM. this becomes more scalable as for any delta value conversions we need to add the netries in the conversion table instead of updating the import map.
best regards

Siebel EAI Value Maps

HI,
I need to understand how we use the EAI value Maps for mapping values for external System. I am using Siebel 8.0 and need to map values for 2 fields before sending the SOAP message using Outbound Web Service. I can send it and receive the response but the values currently are same in both the systems. Hence I need to understand how I can use Data Maps/EAI values maps for solving the mapping problem.

EAI value maps are conceptually similar to LOVs, except that they are purpose built for use in mapping values between systems. I would suggest going through the Siebel bookshelf in order to gain an in-depth understanding. Here's a link to get you started:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B40099_02/books/EAI4/EAI4_DataMapUSScripts28.html#wp134444
Once you have read the basics, you will come to realize that depending on how you've configured your application you can use the mentioned functions in both WFPs and scripts by directly calling them or using Data Maps.
To specifically answer your question, here's the process:
a) Define the mappings (Eg. IN for external system = +91 for Siebel)
b) Define direction - Incoming/ Outgoing (optional but useful)
c) Create the mappings within Siebel EAI Value Maps Screen making sure you have, like in LOVs, a specific type defined for the mapping (E.g. Back Office Phone Numbers)
d) Use one of the available Value Map functions (See link above for the description of each of them) either in data maps or scripts to obtain the mapping value keying off the type field defined above
e) The rest is pretty much the routine stuff (convert to XML and post/ call adapter or whatever)
Hope this makes sense and helps..
