OIM: Help understanding Multi-Valued fields

I'm having a bit of trouble passing the values of a multi-value field into an adapter and I think I have the whole structure of how this works wrong.
I have a custom RO where a user can select multiple custom defined "Roles". I want to pass the selection of these roles to an adapter for processing. I thought I could just pass the variable name selectedRoles and it would automatically concatenate them into a string delimited by "|".
is this not the case? How would I process the selections made by the user? I have the whole process working, form wise. It's just I can't seem to pass the selected roles into an adapter.
Any ideas?
When I try to map adapter variable to Process Data -> (Child Table) Roles -> Role Name I get this error:
ERROR,27 Sep 2010 12:35:08,289,[XELLERATE.DATABASE],select UD_ROLES_P_ROLENAME from UD_ROLES_P where UD_ROLES_P_KEY =
java.sql.SQLSyntaxErrorException: ORA-00936: missing expression
at oracle.jdbc.driver.SQLStateMapping.newSQLException(SQLStateMapping.java:91)

Nops ! ! For child table data, your custom adapter or code would be called in every time for each value selected, so its not a string separated by a delimiter. Also its easier for OIM to manage these values individually rather than passing them as a string.
So your Process Data -> (Child Table) Roles -> Role Name mapping appears fine, but this would just pass one value at a time and then you have to call this adapter number of times based on the action insert, update or delete on child table data.

Migrate MS Access 2007 multi-valued fields to MS SQL 2012

Hi! I do have a MS Access data base (made of MS Access 2007) which has an Attachement field. As you know Attachment DataType is a multi-valued field that replaces the Object Link Embedding (OLE) Object DataType in the new Access Database (ACCDB) file
format. At present the whole DB has reached to the max size which is 2GB. Since we want to use the data and add more data to it, I was tasked to findout ways of converting it to SQL server. I have tried to use Import and Export data x32 module to import data
from MS Access to MS SQL Express 2012. All the data were imported except the BLOBs at the Attachement filed. Could you please help me to import those BLOBs to MS SQL DB. Thx!

Hello,
About those OLE objects, please try the following article:

Mass updating a multi-valued field- to append the new value

I have a question on multi-valued fields:
I have store table with 5 multi-valued fields, say MLB, soccer, college FTBL, college Basketball, etc.
A store can have 4 MLBs, 2 soccer teams, and so on.
Say, there is a new MLB that came out called Mexico MLB team.
A user wanted to add this to 30 stores using a mass update. But remember the 30 stores can have totally different sets of values in the multi-valued fields.
How can I add this new value while still preserving the MLB teams values of each store record?
Does MDM not support this feature?
I am using SAP MDM SP6
An answer would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Savi

Savi,
I assume you are defined these fields as multi-value lookup and linked to main table. In general, you can not because it will mess up and overwrite your multi-value entries for all of your 30 store records.
Here is something in MDM come in handy. It is following the same concept but design your model a little differently. If you model your multi-value fields into qualified lookup table, it will be easier and optimized to handle.
You can select all 30 records and mass-update with adding the new MLB entry into your Q-lookup table. Once you save, this mass-update action will respect all your diversity of each individual records with the new value added.
Hope this helps
If this answers your question, please kindly reward the points.

SQL2 | How to add condition on multi-value field?

Hello,
I am trying to perform a JCR query using SQL2 in CQ5.6. For one of the conditions, I wish to compare a multi-value field (E.g. cq:tags).
How would that be possible? Currenlt, I only managed to compare my query item's cq:tags to a single value (e.g. WHERE page.[cq:tags]='mynspace:mytag').
Also, is there a syntax reference for SQL2 queries? Currently I have only managed to find something tanglible here : http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/jackrabbit/trunk/jackrabbit-spi-commons/src/test/resources/or g/apache/jackrabbit/spi/commons/query/sql2/test.sql2.txt?view=markup
Best regards, thanks in advance,
K.

Hi,
Below is an example of SQL2 query based on your scenario. you can modify and use it
SELECT * FROM [nt:base] AS s WHERE ISDESCENDANTNODE([/content/geometrixx/en]) and (CONTAINS(s.[cq:tags], 'mynspace:mytag') or CONTAINS(s.[cq:tags], 'mynspace:mytagss1'))
where root node path and tags value you can change as per your need. Below is java formation
StringBuilder query = new StringBuilder();
query.append("SELECT * FROM [nt:base] AS s WHERE ISDESCENDANTNODE([")
.append(pathToYourPageArea) //for example /content/geometrixx/en
.append("]) AND (CONTAINS(s.[cq:tags],'mynspace:mytag') or CONTAINS(s.[cq:tags],'mynspace:mytagss1'))");
Query compiledQuery = queryManager.createQuery(query.toString(), Query.JCR_SQL2);
where 'mynspace:mytag' and 'mynspace:mytagss1' is an example and you can change it with variables
I hope it will help you to proceed. Let me know if you need more information.
Thanks,
Pawan

Can you sort a multi value field in descending order on a BC?

Hi
We have a date field which is a multivalue field on our Enrolment BC. The field comes from our Attendance BC. The Enrolment BC has a one to many relationship with an Attendance BC.
We would like to sort this date in descending order for use on the Enrolment BC. We tried this on the link using the associated list sort spec. However this did not work.
The only way we could get the multi value field to sort by descending order on the Enrolment BC was to add a sort spec on the Attendance BC. That is Date (DESC).
Is there any other to do this using configuration? We don't want to add a sort spec on the Attendance BC to do this. At the moment it looks we will need to use script on the Enrolment BC.
Thanks for you help,
Tim

That is a good suggestion. It looks like we already have a couple of cloned "Attendance" BC's used by workflow / interfaces so maybe I can use one of these. Thanks!

Using Calculated Field in Multi Value Field

In Siebel Application
Sales Order---> List
There is a field call "Sales Rep" which displays an "USERID" of Order Sales Team Mvg Applet.
But We want to display the Last Name and First Name (combined).We got the first and last name using calculated field (Active Full name).
When I try to get the full name, the system display the name based on the "Primary position", if I step out of the particular row and come back again
Is there any way to display the full name without step out any rows for Sales Rep field

Your description is a little confusing. For performance reasons it is always best to set the use primary join on multi value links. This means that when multi value fields are displayed in applets they always show the primary by default. If you want to display something other than the primary what is your rational behind this and why not make the record you want to display the primary?

How To Import Into A Table with Multi-Value Fields

Hello:
I have a table with a multi-value field that contains states in which a company does business. It is multi-value because there can be more than one state. I tried to import a text tab-delimited file in which the data was arranged as follows:
Field1 Tab Field 2 Tab OR, WA, CA Tab
The "State field contained the multiple entries separated by a comma (like they appear in a query of the multi-value field), but it won't accept it. Does anyone know how to import into a multi-value field?

Multi-valued fields in OIM user profile

Hi,
Does anyone of you have the need and find the solution for multi-valued user profile data in OIM? If so, could you please share your solutions?

Sun IdM: How to set a multi-value field on document.mainform via javascript

The following will set variables.variable1 to variables.variable2 when the "Script Link" component is clicked. I would like to modify
this so that el2 references a multi-valued element (e.g. a list generated by a Select Field)
<Field>
<Display class='Javascript'>
<String>
function myScript() {
el=getElement(document.mainform,"variables.variable1");
el2=getElement(document.mainform,"variables.variable2");
el.value=el2.value;
</String>
</Display>
</Field>
<Field name='Script Link'>
<Display class='Link'>
<Property name='URL'>
<String>javascript:myScript();submitCommand(document.mainform,%20'Recalculate');</String>
</Property>
</Display>
</Field>
My issue is, if variables.variable2 is a list / multivalued, i get errors trying to traverse through the "array".
How can i read and set a list element via the javascript function above? I've tried things like get(), put() , as well
as path expressions like variables.variable2[0] .
any help would be appreciated....
is there an API somewhere i can reference?

The MultiSelect field-type is a little different than the rest of the fields. If you use the applet version, then selecting/deselecting values cannot be captured by referencing the field directly in javascript.
The way to identify the selections is to use the javascript methods includes/MultiSelect.js file (IDM form submission uses the same method):
fixMultiSelectAppletBeforeSubmit( )
fixMultiSelectNonAppletBeforeSubmit( )
.. and then referencing the "<multiselect-field>_selected" form element.
So in your case, the code should look something like this:
function myScript() {
    fixMultiSelectAppletBeforeSubmit(document.mainform,"variables.variable1");
    var el1 = getElement(document.mainform,"variables.variable1_selected");
    // assign the value to variable2..
    el2 = getElement(document.mainform,"variables.variable2");
    el2.value = el1.value;
}Just make sure ":variables.variable2" is not a multi-select field, else the value set here will be reset during form submission.

Does Retry events handle the multi-value field correctly.

Hi ,
Just curious if the retry event task handle the multi-value event correctly. Let say we have five values a1, a2, a3, a4, a5 in a child table and while provisioning a2 and a4 get failed. Now when the retry task will run how will it be sure that it will pick up a2 and a4 value in the retry task. My understanding is we need to handle it in the code but just want to make sure if there is any configuration that will make it easy to achieve and we don't need to iterate the values in java code.
Thanks.

Hi Kevin,
Thanks for the reply. Does that mean that in case of retry the code will only execute for a2 and a4 (in the example in mentioned in my initial post) as i couldn't see maintain the key in the task retry schedule task or sch table. Am i missing anything.
In our case sometimes retry will send the value a1 (as example) while the failure is for a2. Do i need to put some additional config?

Delimiter in Syndication Maps for Multi-Valued Fields

We are in the process of upgrading to MDM 7.1 from MDM 5.5. In one of our syndication maps we are syndicating a multi-valued hierarchy field with no particular limit as to how many values the field can hold. In the old MDM 5.5 Syndication map the xml output delimits this data with ";" (semi-colon) as in the below example.
<Field>Level 1Level 2Value 1; Level 1Level 2Value 2;Level 1Level2Value 3</Field>
In MDM 7.1 the values are separated by a "," (comma) like in the example below.
<Field>Level 1Level 2Value 1, Level 1Level 2Value 2, Level 1Level2Value 3</Field>
Is there anyway to change the delimiter in MDM 7.1 from a "," (comma) to a ";" (semi-colon) with out splitting the field?
Thanks!
Sincerely,
Courtney

Hi Brewer,
Is there anyway to change the delimiter in MDM 7.1 from a "," (comma) to a ";" (semi-colon) with out splitting the field?
Yes, for e.g in in your syndication map at source item lookup field display as follows
Country
|___ Code
|___ Name
just map country to destination item instead of using Code or Name, multi vaule will display with ; operator
In one of our syndication maps we are syndicating a multi-valued hierarchy field with no particular limit as to how many values the field can hold.
if you want to set length of field you require to set properties at destination item as follows :
Fixed Column Width : the specific with destination item
Max Item Length : Maximum length allowed for the item
Hope Above mention point will resolved your problem if not revert back

Multi valued fields

Hi!
I try to fill the telephonenumber field of an entry with several values (matched by the selection criteria) with a Join Rule, but only one value will be transfered. All selection criteria match, because when I tested it with only 1 entry (but different criterias) in the connector view (oracle db), it works for every criteria, but not, if there are more entries in the CV, that would match.
Any hints, how to achieve this?
thx and greetings

If I have the parameters in the URL and use the method GET it works all right.
but I need the method to be POST. I suppose, I have the wrong way identifying the parameter name
This is from VB

xmlSendStr = "SQLStmt=SELECT TCPD_Cars.* From TCPD_Cars WHERE (((TCPD_Cars.CarIdent)=45));"
    xmlHttp.Open "POST", varTarget, True   'True means asynchronous

Import into Lookup Hierarchy Multi-Value Field

My source data contains two fields (Product ID, Product Notes). I need to map the Product Notes into a Hierarchy Lookup Field on main products table. THe hierarchy table for product notes contains two text fields and both are display fields. My source data for product notes contains a comma delimited list of values that only apply to one of the display fields of the Hiearchy table.
Example:
product1 | 1,5,10
product2 | 1,3
product3 | 1,6,13
How do I map and assign the multiple product notes to each product?

Hi Sowseel,
I do not understand your assumptions.
I have following tables:
Tablename: Product Notes
Table Type: Hierarchy
Display Fields: Note Number, Note Description
Unique Fields: Note Number
Key Mapping: No
Tablename: Products
Table Type: Main
Display Fields: Product Number
Key Mapping: Yes
The Product Notes table has following example entries already (comma delimitter indicates field seperation):
1, Description of product note 1
2, Description of product note 2
3, Description of product note 3
Notice there is no really hierarchy. This table type was used to have manual control of the order of the notes.
My import data is formated as follows:
Field1 Name = Product Number
Field2 Name = Product Notes
Field1 Value = XYZ
Field2 Value = 2,8,10
In import manager, the product notes field in my destination pane is shown as a heirarchy. Selecting the root level shows destination values of the display fields for this lookup table (i.e. Note Number, Note Description). However, my source data only contains a comma delimitted list of note numbers. I do not understand how to map the values.
