Normalisation of text string on import through import manager

Hi There, we have just uncovered an issue with our workflows where a submitted file that contains 'special' characters in a description field (text string) will cause the jobs to fail. Is there a way i can tweak the normalisation feature in the import manager to remove these special characters, while leaving 'normal' characters (such as spaces, commas and other punctuation) in tact?

Hi Adam,
The failure is happening at the import stage and not the workflow stage ,As your import of records are triggering the workflow action(Trigger action being record Import).The records may not be getting imported rightly and so the workflow failing.
But as far as i know the Text data type in MDM allows special characters entry without much problem.
Try the following:
- Check to see if the charater length of this special characters holding  field is sufficiently large it could be the problem that the length of the incoming charaters are more than the length mentioned in the console settings and so truncation of charaters are causing the failure of import.
- Check to see if values of all other fields especially the date and numeric fields if any are holding correct data .
- Lastly if you find out that the special charaters are the only cause of the failure then you will have to perform the normalization of the values and save the settings in the map and then use this saved map.Try to accomodate all the possible charaters faults.You can normalize the Field by right clicking on it and say value conversion filter >Normalize.If your values are lesser you can normalize them at the value level itself using the right click.
Hope It Helped
Thanks & Regards

  • PDF - Importing through Data Manager  -

    I am performing following steps. In the data manager, I am trying to import the PDF file. Then link it to the Main Table.
    While importing I am using "Link to Orginal File Only"
    PDF file is present in the share folder and the path of share folder does not have spaces. I get the following error message
    "There was an error opening this document. This file cannot be found".
    Actually file is available as well as path is correct and also acees to the sahre folder.
    I tried same thing through local drive from my desktop. I encounter the same message.
    When, I go and see PDFs table in the repository, I can see a record inserted with the correct path. I am not able top open up the PDF using Object --> View PDF.
    I am using MDM 7.1 SP 05.
    Please share your experience.

    Please let me know what version of MDM you are using... Can you give a try by uploading pdf from your local system.. This will make sure that there has nothing to do with the shared drive..
    Please revert with the results.

  • Can't run import through enterprise manager

  • How to retrieve newly added text strings from ResourceBundle through EL ?

    I have stored the properties in a database and getting i18n property values from Java code and EL-expressions.
    New key-value pair are added to the resource bundle and by doing clearcache() and getbundle() the new property values are successfully retrieved from Java code.
    However, I have problems to get the new property value from EL without a restart of glassfish.
    What are the steps to get the new property values through EL without restart?
    I am using JDK 1.6.0-18, JSF 2.0 and GlassFish v3 (build 74.2)

    If you are using Java 6 then there is a [ResourceBundle.Control|http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/ResourceBundle.Control.html] class. I don't have any personal experience with it but the documentation does mention caching and control thereof.

  • Hello i need a help about script to export translatable text strings from ai files and import them back

    Hello i need a help about script to export translatable text strings from ai files and import them back after editing, thanks in advance

    Lanny -
    Thank you for taking the time to help with this problem. Can I just say however that as someone who has posted a first comment here and quite clearly never used a forum like this before, your comment unfortunately comes across as very excluding. It makes me feel there are a set of unwritten rules that I should know, and that I don't know them shows that the forum is not for me. In short, it's exactly the kind of response that stops people like me using forums like this.
    I'm sure it's not intended to be received like this and I am sure that the way you have responded is quite normal in the rules of a forum like this. However, it is not normal for those of us who aren't familiar with forums and who only encounter them when they have a genuine problem. This is why I hope it is helpful to respond in full.
    The reason I posted here is as follows. I was directed here by the apple support website. The original comment seemed to be the only one I could find which referred to my issue. As there is no obvious guidance on how to post on a forum like this it seemed perfectly reasonable to try and join in a conversation which might solve more than one problem at once.
    Bee's reply however is both helpful and warm. This could in fact be a template for how new members should be welcomed and inducted into the rules of the forum in a friendly and inclusive way. Thank you very much indeed Bee!

  • Illustrator breaks text at a point when importing from an EPS file?

    I am importing an EPS file from a statistical software. All text strings that belong together are in brackets ( ), so the EPS file is OK. When AI creates the chart it happens that the last glyph is a new and independent text string (text at a point).
    Is it possible to force AI to respect the structure of the EPS file.
    Thanks,
    Daniel

    No.
    You can only fix it afterwards.

  • PDF through import manager

    Thansk in advance
    Rohit

    Hi Rohit
    Yes, you can do this.
    Define a field called <b>PDFURL</b> in the record.
    An example of the data that would be stored in the <b>PDFURL</b> field : "abc123.pdf".
    Now go to a local web server and define a simple webpage that displays a PDF. The name of the PDF to display should be passed to the webpage in the webpage's URL (e.g. http://server.local.domain/page?what=abc.pdf).
    Now define the URL in the MDM Console. Replace the filename ("abc.pdf" in the above example) with the string "<f:PDFURL>". Using the above example, the URL defined in the Console would be <u>http://server.local.domain/page?what=<f:PDFURL></u>.
    Reload the repository and connect with the Data Manager. Goto Configuration -> Options and find "Records -> Web pane URL for selected records". Set it to the URL you defined in the Console.
    Select a record and go to the Data Manager's Web tab. You should see the PDF displayed there.
    NB: Be aware of how the MDM Server and the Web Server might reference the location of the PDF. While the PDF might be on the MDM box under <b>c:\newfolder</b>, the Web Server will (probably) not reference the document by the same path. Either use UNC paths or map a common network drive.

  • I had to refresh my computer; LR was removed. How do I re-install and have it recognize all my files that have already been imported through LR?

    My computer's main files became corrupted and I had to "refresh" the system. It kept my files, but erased all of the programs. I had to even re-install Microsoft Word. So it erased my downloaded Lightroom as well.
    However, all of my files are still on the computer, including the file labeled "Lightroom 5 Catalog" and 2 others like it.
    My question is, how do I go about getting the program BACK onto my computer and having the program recognize that all of the pictures currently in my "Library/Pictures" folder have at one point already been imported through LR? I don't really even know what I'm talking about; I am not super techy. Maybe if I download it again it will already recognize all the files? I just want to move cautiously because I'm dealing with all the pictures of my 4 year old daughter who died last year.
    Thanks for your help!

    Hi JimHess,
    Yes, the files are still located in the same drive, the exact same place Lightroom put them (in Pictures in Library).
    When I double-click on the catalog file, it opens up multiple folders with little white "document-looking" blank pages, and when I click on those, it open a dialog box that says "How do you want to open this type of a file (.Ircat)?" with a little box below that says "Look for an app in the store".
    So I don't think my computer knows how to open them...I think I need to re-download Lightroom. I just want to make sure I'm not going to mess up the files.

  • Error when importing through DTW for JE

    Hi All,
    When i try import Je through DTW it gives me the error as "You are not allowed to edit posting date".
    I am trying to import around 1000 transactions of which it gives me this error for one transaction, when i remove the transaction and try to import, it imports the balance records.
    Please help me out to resolve this issue.
    Regards
    Shanker

    Hi Gordon,
    Sorry for delay in replying.
    This solution we had already found, the actual reason is when we are uploading 7000 transactions, it gives the around 2000 and once we resolve or remove that transaction again at 4300 give the error.
    The reason is first SAP reads all the transactions which is takes around 15 Min(since we have 1 GB RAM on Server) and throws error if any, and by that time we resolve all the transactions, take lot of time in uploading the data.
    Once again sorry for the delay in replying.
    Regards
    Shanker

    If you have a support contract with Orcale you can find out hoe to fix this error by checking out Knowledge Article 1038072.1 How to troubleshoot "atg.workflow.WorkflowException: The inner project was not created. Check that your project workflow has been initialized by the workflow engine."
    The article says you should:
    1.
    delete from epub_wf_server_id
    delete from epub_coll_workflow
    delete from epub_workflow_info
    restart server and retest
    2. If problem exists check that you have configured the Workflow Process Editor Server correctly.
    The problem is that probably the workflow has not been not been initialized correctly by the Workflow Editor Server.

  • Resetting a field value to null through import

    Is there a null indicator for import? I want to unlink an opportunity to an account and trying to see if I have to do it through web services, or if there's a method through import. I basically want to null out the account id/reference off from the opportunity.

    Assume you are using the opportunity row id as the unique identifier of the opportunity for which you want to delete the account. Then...
    1. In your CSV file create two columns
    Row Id               _Account_
    1QA2-QL6RP     <keep this blank>
    2. In the import data wizard, step 1, set
    On Demand Row ID = Y
    Overwrite Existing Records = Y
    Don't Create New Record = Y
    3. Skip step 2
    4. In step 3, map Row Id to Row Id and Account to Account
    5. Now you can import.

  • Issue in Importing Cleansing package in to Repository through Repo Manager

    Hi,
    For using Data Quality, we have installed the cleansing package installble into our server. It has created all the ZIP/DAT Files in to the ...DataQuality\Datacleanse directory. After that while importing into Metadata through Repository Manager, we are getting
    " A Probelm occurred while verifying data cleanse repository connection".
    Note : We have installed BODS XI 3.1 Version
    And the cleansing package  using here is SBOP CLEANS PACK XI 3.2
    Is there any problem with version incompatibility?
    Any other solution??? Kindly help us on this.
    Reg,
    John

    John,
    BODS XI 3.1 requires cleansing package XI 3.1.  You will need to download the cleansing package XI 3.1.  Or, you can download BODS XI 3.2 and install the latest version.

  • Importing Contact numbers through Content Manager

    I have imported my phone numbers through content manager onto my iphone and every number is there except all the fax numbers and email addresses. Rather than inputing each one manually, is there a way that I can import all the contact info for all persons?

    Allan,
    For reference, Content Manager is the Windows-only application provided by AT&T for reading contact information that has been transferred from a SIM card to a USB Flash drive. AT&T also provides support for Content Manager through the AT&T owned retail stores.
    In general when you are exporting the data you export it to a .CSV file, and then tell Outlook or Outlook Express how to read the data. If you have contacts have all the information in Content manager, make sure you are exporting all of the fields to the .CSV file.
    Hope this helps,
    Nathan C.
