Meta Data Naming Conventions

Hi,
Can any one pls explain me on "Meta Data Naming Conventions".
Thanks in advance.

This is the approach you would use to create the labels for all your acocunts, custom members and entities, etc.. I would suggest using a convention that makes reporting and data loadinga s simple as possible.

Data Modeler - Naming Conventions

I was using Oracle Designer for several year.
This product could drive you crazy because sometimes, but the strength was in my opinion the datamodelling part.
It saved you a lot of time because you kept stuck to the logical model generated your relational model and had all scripts satisfying all naming conventions you needed.
In Data Modeler i really miss the naming conventions and can't understand some parts, sometimes somebody here can help me if i have overseen something or it is just not implemented.
Naming conventions as example:
We work with surrogate keys.
Two well known tables - Employees (abbreviation EMP), Departments (abbreviation DEP)
They have one relation 1:N one department has many employees
In Designer i would define the EMPLOYEE entity, would set the table-abbreviation, the attributes and the primary key.
The same with DEPARTMENT. I would design it WITHOUT any column for the foreign key constraint.
Then i would create a relation between this two tables.
Last step is to generate the relational model.
a) Designer automatically adds ID as surrogate key on every table (you could configure that, it was dependent on a domain)
b) it automatically adds the table abbreviation as prefix on every column (even here it's configurable)
c) it automatically adds the a foreign key column in the child table with the prefix of the master table (f.e. EMP_DEP_ID or DEP_ID if you prefer not to prefix every column... what i do)
It was really easy to get your scripts.
Things i don't understand in Data Modeler:
In a logical model you should design entities, attributes and relations and don't mess around with FK-columns.
Is there any support for surrogate keys? I don't wanna add an ID manually with every table.
In Data Modeler an additional COLUMN(!) is added with every Foreign key relation, i could live with that, but there is no way to tell
Data Modeler to prefix it automatically. The name can just be changed in the Relational View afterward.
P.S.
Surrogate Keys.... There are some pros and cons for/against this out there. I have seen a lot of Oracle Projects and in all except one i always had a surrogate key column. It really makes life
easier. In the one no-surrogate-key-project we began to add surrogate keys after a while...

COLUMN(!) is added with every Foreign key relation, i could live with that, but there is no way to tell
Data Modeler to prefix it automaticallyLook at "General options>Naming Standard>templates" - you can define template for FK columns/attributes and then apply them for whole relational/logical model using "Apply Naming .." functionality from pop-up menu in the browser. For Logical model (FK attributes) - you also need to clear related setting at "General options>Logical>Keep as the name of originating attribute".
Templates are also used when objects are created, thus when new FK is created, then templates are used to generate name for foreign key and FK columns. Well you have to define table and column abbreviation in order to get them used in generated names - Re: Data Modeler: Naming
There is no support for surrogate keys in current release.

SAP Naming Conventions for DB Data Files

Hi Everyone!
We are about to install a SAP ECC 6.0 SR3 ABAP on Windows Server 2008 (R2) & SQL Server 2008 SP1 and we want to name the DB data files as follows:
<sid>DB_Data_001.MDF/NDF
Do you see any problem with this or think this could lead to a problem in the future?
We were unable to find a SAP note or SAP recommendation about this, we only found SAP Note 27428 but itu2019s for Oracle.
Thanks in advance!
Best Regards,
Nicolas

Hi Nicolas,
I thought about all corners where this could possibly lead to a problem (e.g. monitoring, DB13, ...) but couldn't think of a single report or transaction where this would cause problems.
To the database itself the names of the files do not matter at all and in the SAP transactions the datafiles are only read to display them in monitoring transactions like DB02 or RZ20. These transaction do not expect a certain naming convention so I don't see anything that would count against using different filenames.

Naming conventions for data types

In my functional specs I have been given field names
Client Number
Record Type
Customer Name and so on
I need to create custom data types for all these and assign them to std values (vbak-kunnr, adrc-name1)
I am trying to determine what is the best naming convention to use for my custom data types
Would the convention be to use, new_kunnr, new_adrc_name1 or perhaps just ClientNumber, RecordType, CustomerName and so on

I think its best I include my scenario so people can better answer my question
My report has four different parts, each has a filler, record type, customer number which need to be initialized to certain values that are different
The four parts are Name/Address, Credit Order, Sub total and Total
Name/Address has Record type = A , customer number = vbak-kunnr
Credit Order has Record type = R, customer number = vbak-kunnr
SubTotal has Record type= space and customer number = 99
Total has Record type = S and customer number = 9999
So I have to create variables for these and am trying to figure out a proper naming convention
I could do RecordType_Name, RecordType_CreditOrder and so on but that does not seem the best way to me. Any ideas!

Data file naming convention!

Hi,
My question might be silly but I am not sure about the naming convention of my control/log/dbf file. I am oracle 11g and asm is configured with OMF enabled. When I checked the filename, I am getting filename with some numbers. What is that number refers to.
ASMCMD> ls

by simply typing 'Oracle Managed Files' in the search bar.
I think ASM naming is different from OMF. The default OMF % formats are not used with the fully qualified name. its an ASM system generated dotted pair in the format

Standard Naming Conventions in XI

Hello,
Pls send pdfs/links for Naming Conventions in XI
Regards

Hi Henry,
These r the naming conventions to be followed in XI :
1) For Software Component, the naming convention should be :
   SAP_<SID>
where <SID> is the system ID if the applicable system
2) For Software Component Version, the naming convention should be :
    X.X
which shows the applicable version as of this date. Eg. SAP_ECC is at version 5.0
3) For Namespace the naming convention should be :
http://ERPGenie.COM/xi/<SCENARIO>/<SID>
where scenario refers to the interface being developed for and <SID> is the component where that object has relevance.
Eg. http://ERPGenie.COM/xi/OrderOutput/ECC will contain all the objects relevant to the Order Output scenario in the ECC system.
4) In Interface Objects ,
a) Message Interface should have the following naming convention :
MI_<meaningful name>_<IN/OUT/AB>
where:
IN = Inbound
OUT = Outbound
AB = Abstract (For BPM)
Remember to evaluate the IN and OUT based on the point of view from the source system to the target system. Eg. If we send an XML message from xEXTERNAL to an IDoc in ECC, then the XML Message is an OUT and the ECC is an IN interface.
b) Message Type should have the following naming convention :
MT_<meaningful name>
c) Fault Message Type should have the following naming convention :
FMT_<meaningful name>
d) Data Type should have the following naming convention :
DT_<meaningful name>
e) Data Type Enhancements should have the following naming convention :
DTE_<meaningful name>
f) Context Object should have the following naming convention :
CO_<meaningful name>
g) External Definition should have the following naming convention :
ED_<meaningful name>
5) In Mapping Objects,
a) Message Mapping should have the following naming convention :
MM_<meaningful name>_<source type>_<target type>
Eg. MM_ORDERSCENARIO_ORDERS05_OrderXML
b) Interface Mapping should have the following naming convention :
IM__<meaningful name>_<source type>_<target type>
Eg. IM_ORDERSCENARIO_ORDERS05_OrderXML
c) Mapping Templates should have the following naming convention :
MT__<meaningful name>_<source type>_<target type>
d) Imported Archives should have the following naming convention :
IA_<meaningful name>
6) In Services
a) Business Systems should have the following naming convention :
SAP<SID>
Where <SID> is the relevant system ID number
E.g.. SAPECC, SAPCRM, SAP46C
b) Business Services should have the following naming convention :
SRV_<XXXXXX>
Where XXXXXX is up to 6 characters to describe the type of service.
E.g. SRV_MAIL, SRV_FTP, SRV_SEEBRG
7) In Adapter Objects,
a) Adapter Meta Data should have the following naming convention :
AM_<meaningful name>
b) Communication Channel should have the following naming convention :
CC_<meaningful name>_<sender/receiver>
            E.g. CC_MAIL_SENDER
8) In Integration Objects,
a) Integration Process should have the following naming convention :
IP_<meaningful name> (Keep to 10 or less characters ALL CAPS)
            Store these in namespace http://ERPGenie.COM/xi/<SCENARIO>
b) Actions should have the following naming convention :
<meaningful name>
Use Send_ or Receive_ to denote the sending or receiving of messages
Store these in namespace http://ERPGenie.COM/xi/<SCENARIO>/<SID> where <SID> is system where the action is to be performed.
c) Integration Scenarios should have the following naming convention :
IS_<meaningful name> (Keep to 10 or less characters ALL CAPS)

Storage Location Naming Convention without WM!

Dear all
We are facing serious problem in our Storage Location for Raw Material.
We have 4 types of Raw Material Seating (S), Panel (P), Metal (M), Wood (W). And they are all stored under Storage Location: RWSL.
Requirement:
Although we have visual guideline as to which industrial rack will store the type of Material, it is insufficient. We need a more refined storage location down to which BIN of the rack we will put the Raw Material.
Due to limited time and resource, we cannot have WM implemented right now. Thus, we have come out with 2 alternative to overcome this problem:
Alternative 01:
We will use the Fixed Bin field in Storage Data 02 by putting the Bin number assigned to each Rack.
E.g. For Seating material code:SEAT01, we will maintain the Fixed Bin as R12A01/A02, it means this Seating material SEAT01 will be stored at Rack 12, fixed bin A01 or A02.
Question to Alternative 01: Will it cause problem in GR, GR, Transfer Posting and Stock Count?
Alternative 02:
Instead of going into details to put Fixed Bin field in Storage Data 2, we will abandan the existing Storage Location RMSL by introducing new format for Storage Location
Here is the example of Alternative 02:
For raw materials, we will use 4 digits location numbers, consistent with other Storage locations, the 4 digits storage location will start with u201CR _ _ _u201D to represent each location
And,
R _ _ _ is:
R = Raw materials
2nd digit = Division (S= Seating, P =Panel, W=Wood, M=Metal and W=Wood)
3rd digit = Rack Number (A, B, C, Du2026 and etc.)
4th digit = Rack Zone - each rack will broken down into zone, each rack can possibility have 2 to 3 zone. 1 Zone can be 1 colume of the Rack
An example of a possible location and its meaning will be
RSA1 = Raw materials warehouse, Seating division, Rack A, Zone 1
RPB3 = Raw materials warehouse, Panel Division, Rack B, Zone 3
The challenge of this is that instead of having 1 Raw Material Storage Location like RMSL, we will have a lot more storage locations each for division of Raw material due to the Rack Number we have as well as the Rack Zone.
Question to Alternative 02:
If we use this alternative, will it impact our future implementation of WM? From design wise, is it feasible?
Please advise what is the best approach and the feasible design on it.
Many thanks in advance.

Hi, here is the Pro and Co of both approaches:
Method 01: Use existing SLOC and add the Storage Bin info
e.g. SLOC: STM1
         Storage Bin: RSC3, where RS = Rack Seating, C3 = column 3
Pro 01:
It will cause less effort as we only need to use LSMW for material master to add in the Storage Bin data for all material of SCM.
Pro 02:
I have tested out that in TCode MIGO, apart from SLOC, the pertaining Storage Bin data also appear. Based on my discuss with Xian Chen, sometimes they use MB1C(GR), MB1A(GI) rather than MIGO due to speed issue, I will need to check the field status if can have Storage Bin field APPEAR, if can, it will solve the problem
Con 01:
The Storage Bin information will only appear in MMBE (Stock Overview) but will not appear in the standard SAP Inventory Report (e.g. MB52 Warehouse Stock). To view it from SAP Inventory Report, we may need to customize the standard report to show the new field Storage Bin. It needs Abap effort.
Con 02:
We must have a very good naming convention for Storage Bin. And again, in the above example, if a material is put in SLOC STM1 at Storage Bin RA A1 or C4, it will set a very rigid rule in the future if we need to change it, as I fear that one the Storage Bin has been used up. It will not allow us to change (need to do testing to find out)
Con 03:
Do we have the time to define all the Storage Bin for each SLOC? Operation wise, the store personnel needs to design it
Method 02: Use the new SLOC
Pro 01:
RSA1 = Raw materials warehouse, Seating division, Rack A, Zone 1. More organized. Easy to tell the material is at which Rack and which Zone of the Rack.
Assumption:
01. we must not have too many rack for one Seating division and also not too many Zone for each
      Division, else it will cause confusion
02. 1 material should stick to 1 Rack 1 zone as much as possible, else later the PP consultant will
     have hard to to perform GI due to too many SLOC assigned to a material.
Pro 02:
In report wise, we are able to show the SLOC in inventory report. No need to enhance the existing inventory report as we do not use Storage Bin.
Con 01:
If there are too many SLOC creation due to it. It may cause problem for PP perform GI as too many selection available for a material. This can be avoided if stick to the General Rule that one material is tied with one SLOC.

Should the web page address be included in the file name in the meta data dialog box?

In the page properties > meta data > below is a field with the label file name: (the the area to type in the field), after the field, it is labeled .html.
I have 2 questions here.
1. If I type in http//:www (my page url), do I include .html at the end? I didn't know if this is automatically added because it is off to the side of the field?
2. If I type in the entire URL address: http//:www (etc, etc).html, after closing the page properties dialog box, I make it a habit to double check my work. What happens is the http//:www.xxx changes to (htttpwww.xxx). It drops the //: on the URL.
So would it be better to just type in www.xxx (without the http//:www.xxx)
and do you type in the .html at the end?
I am assuming this will help with SEO page ranking or at least makes it easier for the search engines to crawl your site??
I hope this makes sense.
Advise would be very helpful.
Ben

You are absolutely correct with the URL Ben. Taking your above example, you just need to type in "Services" in the file name and the webpage will be exported as services.html and the URl will be www.xyz.com/services.html.
All the webpages (be it parent page or child page) gets physically saved at the root directory of your website on the server (where your website resides).
This name is just the name of the file using which it is physically stored and called from the server. It does not help search Engines to crawl deeper inside the website.
As I explained, "name which you wants the .html file to be stored with" here means the name of the physical file which is getting saved on the server.
Most users leave the file name same as Page name. If you have it different from page name then this will be the workflow :
Page Name : About
File Name : test
domain : www.mysite.com
Now if you are using a Menu Widget, it will list "About" in the Menu. And when end user will click on "About" then it will call the file named "test.html" from the server location (where all the files of your website are stored).
And it will open a page with address "www.mysite.com/test.html"
Hope I am able to explain the concept of File Name here. Please let us know if you have further queries on this.
Regards,
Sachin

Is it possible to control the naming convention used by Aperture when importing photos? If so, how

When I import photos from my camera, I have them placed into projects based on the date the photos were taken. However, I do not like the naming convention used by Aperture as it causes the projects to sort into a non-chronologial order. The convention is MMM-DD-YYYY and I want to change it to YYYY-MM-DD. Is it possible in Aperture 3.2.4 to do this?

In the Import panel you can edit the preset for the file name format to "Image year - image month - image day - index" for example; the preset for folder names seems to be gone in Aperture 3,3 - at least I cannot find it any longer. You only seem to be able to enter the folder name manually in the Import panel.

Problem with file meta data in Toast

From a reply to my previous question, I learned that meta data in the file information window cannot be edited. Actually, I really want to get rid of this meta data (not just hide it), because in some cases it disturbs certain operations.
Assume the following situation: I have a file named "my song.aif", which I want to burn on CD using Toast. So I open Toast and shift the file with a mouse action into the Toast window. I expect the title of the track to be "my song", but the name of the track unexpectedly changes to say "Title 2". Checking the file information window of "my song.aif" I see that the extra information contains "Title: Title 2" (which possibly was added by itunes). Files without meta data like this retain their names in the above operation.
Since I would like to avoid editing the titles in the Toast window, I would appreciate hints on the problem.

You can't directly edit the metadata, but the application that created it obviously can, so it depends on the particular application. In this case, editing the song information in iTunes changes the metadata. Usually the song title is the same as the song name, but Toast might be looking at something like the ID3 tags. The ID3 tags are stored in the .mp3 file itself and not the metadata database - I am not sure what iTunes does with the ID3 tags (or what Toast is looking for), but you might try converting the tags.

Live text to Paths Meta Data

This request originated on another list.
The attributes/notes can be used to add text meta-data to objects, which has been around for a long time and is very helpful.
I would love Illus/InDesign to automatically write the font details (font family and or other formatting) to the outlined paths when text is converted from live editable text to outlined vector paths.
There is nothing worse than being given an outlined file as the only data by a client and then asked to make text changes or to match the font for use in a new job.
A very helpful person named Rick Gordon gave me some help in doing this via AppleScript (see below) - however it would be good if this was hard wired into Illus and InDesign so that file originators would tag the font data to the paths when they first outline the editiable text.
SCRIPT:
tell application "Adobe Illustrator"
tell document 1
set storyText to text of story of selection
set fontName to name of text font of text of story of selection
tell selection
tell storyText
set propList to {fontName, return, size, return, leading, return, tracking,
return, rotation}
end tell
set convertedText to convert to paths
set note of convertedText to propList as text
end tell
end tell
end tell

Make sure that the file has a .html or another known file extension to make sure that the server recognizes it as an HTML file.
The server may send unknown files automatically as text plain.

AppleScript To Save Messages As PDFs With Specific Naming Convention

I am looking for an Applescript that:
1: Prompts and allows the user to select one or more Apple Mail email messages from within Mail (10.4, 10.5, 10.6).
2: Prompts and allows the user to select a save-to folder.
3: For each message, saves it as a PDF file in the save-to folder, using the following naming convention for the PDF file:
"YYYY-MM-DD HH.MM.SS Email From FIRSTNAME LASTNAME - SUBJECT",
"YYYY-MM-DD HH.MM.SS Email To FIRSTNAME LASTNAME - SUBJECT",
where in the email date-sent stamp (if I am the sender) or date-received stamp (if I am the recipient):
YYYY = the year
MM = the two-digit month
DD = the two-digit day
HH = the two-digit hour (in 24-hour time)
MM = the two-digit minute
SS = the two-digit second
FIRSTNAME is the email sender's first name for email that I receive (or is the email recipient's first name for email that I send)
LASTNAME is the email sender's last name for email that I receive (or is the email recipient's first name for email that I send)
SUBJECT = the email's subject line
For example: 2010-04-10 16.32.48 Email From Kris Ryan - Status Of Payroll Updates.pdf
For example: 2010-04-10 16.33.55 Email To Sue Anderson - RE Status Of Payroll Updates.pdf (Colon omitted after "RE".)
4: For each attachment to the message, saves it as a PDF file in the same directory using the naming convention:
"YYYY-MM-DD HH.MM.SS Email From FIRSTNAME LASTNAME Z Attachment - NUMBER - FILENAME",
where:
YYYY-MM-DD HH.MM.SS Email From FIRSTNAME LASTNAME = as above
NUMBER = an integer representing the attachment number (1, 2, ...) sorted according to filename alphabetical order
FILENAME = the name of the file attached to the email, including its extension (.docx, .xlsx, etc.)
The letter "Z" sorts the attachment PDFs after its respective parent email in the directory.
For example: 2010-04-10 16.32.48 Email From Kris Ryan Z Attachment - 1 - List Of Suggestions To Moore.doc.pdf
For example: 2010-04-10 16.32.48 Email From Kris Ryan Z Attachment - 2 - Proposed Salary Adjustments.xls.pdf
For example: 2010-04-10 16.32.48 Email From Kris Ryan Z Attachment - 3 - Salary History.pps.pdf
Note: The email attachment may consist of a PDF or MS Office file (Word, Excel, Power Point); however, a smart implementation will be able to handle any attachment kind. If the attachment is a PDF file, then save it "as is" using the stipulated naming convention, without passing it through Distiller.
Thank you.
Kurt Todoroff

Output CSV File Naming Convention - Receiver File Adapter

Dear SAP experts,
I need help regarding my scenario.
My scenario is this, Customer will send EDI message to XI. XI will then translate the message and convert it into XML.. After, a Receiver File Adapter will receive the XML then convert it into .csv file.
I've already configured the Receiver File Adapter to convert the XML into .csv file.
But, my problem now is how will I configure to have my output .csv file has a File Naming Convention.
The output .csv file must be "CustomerName_YearMonthDate".
From the EDI message, there is indicated Sender GLN in which, each customer has its own Sender GLN.
E.g., Globus --> 200, Karstadt --> 300, Metro --> 400.
How will I configure so that I can have an output .csv file of,
If Globus sends the EDI message, the output .csv file is Globus_20080304.csv.
If Karstadt, Karstadt_20080304.csv.
If Metro, Metro_20080304.csv.
Kindly advise for a clear and complete solution.
Thank you very much for your usual support.
Fred

Hi Nisar,
My target message (XML) in the mapping is this,
- <ns0:CSV>
    - <SLI>
           <PERIO> </PERIO>
           <ILN> </ILN?
           <EAN> </EAN>
perio, iln, and ean was rooted on SLI field. and the CSV is the rootnode of the target message.
I have created a UDF on the message mapping to accomodate the output customer name, here is the codes:
String fname="";
if(GLN.equals("23456"))
fname ="Globus" +dat;
else if(GLN.equals("5678"))
fname ="Karstadt"+dat;
else if(GLN.equals("6789"))
fname ="Metro"+dat;
DynamicConfiguration conf = (DynamicConfiguration) container
    .getTransformationParameters()
    .get(StreamTransformationConstants.DYNAMIC_CONFIGURATION);
DynamicConfigurationKey key = DynamicConfigurationKey.create(
    "http://sap.com/xi/XI/System/File",
    "FileName");
    conf.put(key,fname );
E.g.,
Globus --> 23456 (Sender GLN)
Karstadt --> 5678 (Sender GLN)
Metro --> 6789 (Sender GLN)
This UDF i've made in the Message Mapping was mapped in the root node CSV.
Is this UDF correct?

Regarding file naming convention(while publishing a file to FTP)

Hi,
In one of our usecases, we need to configure the file name based on the client’s requirement.(to place the file in FTP. But the file name should be customized by us.) We referred to the link given below.
http://www.b2bgurus.com/2008/04/customizing-file-naming-convention-in.html
Can you please briefly explain about where should we setup the 'macro' so that we can change the file name(which will be placed in FTP) as we like.
Thanks,
Shanmuga S.

Hi,
     As you said we had applied the patch(number 7233222).In the Transport parameter, we entered the values for 'filename format' as given in the link,
     http://www.b2bgurus.com/2008/04/customizing-file-naming-convention-in.html.
     But we couldn't put the file in FTP.
     Our usecase is to send file(with customized name) to FTP.
     Before applying the patch, this scenario works fine and we could put the file into FTP. In this case the default file name is '%FROM_PARTY%_%TIMESTAMP%.dat'.
     After applying the patch (number 7233222), we got the entry 'filename format' in 'Transport parameter'. There the default value is given as '%FROM_PARTY%_%TIMESTAMP%.dat'. But in this flow(after applying patch) we couldn't put the file in FTP. No error logs were seen in b2b.log file.
     In 'b2b_dc_transport.log' file, we were getting the following logs,
     "2008.10.17 at 19:47:16:273: Thread-20: (DEBUG) FTPAgent.login(): Enter
