Problem with merge records

Hi All,
My problem statement is as follows -
I have Customer Master data coming from a single client having some duplicates (internal). I have imported the data and merged the duplicates in the Data Manager client. Now while merging the records I am ending up with only a single record corresponding to say two merged records.
I have to send this data to BW where report has to be generated based upon the consolidated Master data.
Now my problem is that when I am syndicating the data I am able to send only a single merged record to BW however in BW the transactios are running on both the records (i.e both duplicate records).
Is there any way through which I can let both records be passed to BW (even after a merge operation in MDM)?
P.S. I have to retain the different Customer IDs after de-duplication (consolidation) as transactions have taken place over them.
Regards,
Pooja

Hi
I had same problem. Here to solve this you need to have right XSD defined with Root Element for syndication. Usually while extracting of xml you dont get the source id and key by default. You have to map the Roots for this then only the Source id and key will be exported. Also while syndicating the XML is generated for all the sources that you contiain in your repository but only the orginal source pointing to the record will contain the referece to that respective system. so in XI you need to export only the recrod entry from XML which contains the Source system id and key into BI.
Hope this answers you.

Problems with ECATT recording using SAPGUI Record

Hello,
I got a problem with my recording. All the prerequisites are done. The problem is, that when the recording is done i don't see the recording in SECATT testcase. Normally when you do a recording you see at the bottom right of the gui a red/white icon active. When i do a recording now, this red/white icon isn't active.
For my it's a very strange error. I hope somebody can give me a hint where i can look,
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Maarten.

Maarten,
First when you start the recording using SAPGUI, you will get the pop-up whether to record this new session. You need to select Yes before continuing your recording.
Secondly check the scripting values in the target system whether it is enabled or disabled using the RZ11 transaction. Mostly SAP Basis team have authorization to change these values for us.
Here is the parameter we need to check in RZ11 - sapgui/user_scripting. It should be TRUE.
Let me know if this helps.

Performance problem with MERGE statement

Version : 11.1.0.7.0
I have an insert statement like following which is taking less than 2 secs to complete and inserts around 4000 rows:
INSERT INTO sch.tab1
          (c1,c2,c3)
SELECT c1,c2,c3
   FROM sch1.tab1@dblink
WHERE c1 IN (SELECT c1 FROM sch1.tab2@dblink);I wanted to change it to a MERGE statement just to avoid duplicate data. I changed it to following :
MERGE INTO sch.tab1 t1
USING (SELECT c1,c2,c3
   FROM sch1.tab1@dblink
WHERE c1 IN (SELECT c1 FROM sch1.tab2@dblink) t2
ON (t1.c1 = t2.c1)
WHEN NOT MATCHED THEN
INSERT (t1.c1,t1.c2,t1.c3)
VALUES (t2.c1,t2.c2,t2.c3);The MERGE statement is taking more than 2 mins (and I stopped the execution after that). I removed the WHERE clause subquery inside the subquery of the USING section and it executed in 1 sec.
If I execute the same select statement with the WHERE clause outside the MERGE statement, it takes just 1 sec to return the data.
Is there any known issue with MERGE statement while implementing using above scenario?

Are your join columns indexed?
Yes, the join columns are indexed.
You are doing a remote query inside the merge; remote queries can slow things down. Do you have to select all thr rows from the remote table? What if you copied them locally using a materialized view?Yes, I agree that remote queries will slow things down. But the same is not happening while select, insert and pl/sql. It happens only when we are using MERGE. I have to test what happens if we use a subquery refering to a local table or materialized view. Even if it works, I think there is still a problem with MERGE in case of remote subqueries (atleast till I test local queries). I wish some one can test similar scenarios so that we can know whether it is a genuine problem or some specific problem from my side.

BTW, I haven't had great luck with MERGE either :(. Last time I tried to use it I found it faster to use a loop with insert/update logic.
Edited by: riedelme on Jul 28, 2009 12:12 PM:) I used the same to overcome this situation. I think MERGE needs to be still improved functionally from Oracle side. I personally feel that it is one of the robust features to grace SQL or PL/SQL.

Problems with Merging Account

Hi Experts,
I have 2 problems with merging accounts:
1) Opportunity is not moved from source data to master data. I do not know why. Central BP is changable.
2) Contact Person is only copied, not moved. This causes problems later on when we want to delete the source data.
Any idea how to solve this?
Best regards,
Cristina

Hi Arno:
First of all: Thanks for answering my thread!
The problem with opportunities in my system is, that they are not merged at all, not even with the batch job. I checked trx. BUSWU02. Node CRM370 is assigned to variant CLEAR_REP.
Also the central Business Partner in opportunity remains changable, once the opportunity was saved.
Anything else I have to check??
Best regards,
Cristina

Looks like there is a problem with your recording ...

When I turned on my laptop today, I noticed that I was unable to use the webcam in skype. When looking within the video settings, there is a message that states "Skype could not find a webcam...". When trying to use Skype Metro App, it detects the webcam, however when trying to do a video call, the webcam does not turn on, and when trying to send a video message, there is the message "Looks like there is a probelm with your recording".
This problem impacts all applications except for the Camera Metro App (Which works without problem).
I've confirmed that the webcam is in the device manager under imaging devices and I've tried to use both the default microsoft drivers, as well as the manufaturers drivers with no avail. There is no error under device manger for the webcam. I also tried a system restore to a date before the issue took place which also did not work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Performance problem with selecting records from BSEG and KONV

Hi,
I am having performance problem while selecting records from BSEG and KONV table. As these two tables have large amount of data , they are taking lot of time . Can anyone help me in improving the performance . Thanks in advance .
Regards,
Prashant

Hi,
Some steps to improve performance
SOME STEPS USED TO IMPROVE UR PERFORMANCE:
1. Avoid using SELECT...ENDSELECT... construct and use SELECT ... INTO TABLE.
2. Use WHERE clause in your SELECT statement to restrict the volume of data retrieved.
3. Design your Query to Use as much index fields as possible from left to right in your WHERE statement
4. Use FOR ALL ENTRIES in your SELECT statement to retrieve the matching records at one shot.
5. Avoid using nested SELECT statement SELECT within LOOPs.
6. Avoid using INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE. Instead use INTO TABLE.
7. Avoid using SELECT * and Select only the required fields from the table.
8. Avoid nested loops when working with large internal tables.
9. Use assign instead of into in LOOPs for table types with large work areas
10. When in doubt call transaction SE30 and use the examples and check your code
11. Whenever using READ TABLE use BINARY SEARCH addition to speed up the search. Be sure to sort the internal table before binary search. This is a general thumb rule but typically if you are sure that the data in internal table is less than 200 entries you need not do SORT and use BINARY SEARCH since this is an overhead in performance.
12. Use "CHECK" instead of IF/ENDIF whenever possible.
13. Use "CASE" instead of IF/ENDIF whenever possible.
14. Use "MOVE" with individual variable/field moves instead of "MOVE-
CORRESPONDING" creates more coding but is more effcient.

Problem with vinyl recording

I specifically purchased the Soundblaster x-fi HD for vinyl recording to my computer. The problem is as the signal runs through the unit into my computer, i am unable to designate the different special effects available with this unit. I can record the record just fine but I was counting on being able to record vinyl and adding in the effects into the actual recorded file, but no matter what I do, i cannot get this to happen. Is it possible to do this with this particular unit, or if not, can you direct me to something that will? My email address is [email protected] Any info anybody can give me on this is deeply appreciated.

Jord, when I called it a "phenomenon" I did not mean to describe it as a bug or fault - you're right, it is a desireable feature of cycle recording.
As far as your question goes: Suppose you are recording track-by-track a song with two parts, an acoustic guitar and vocals, and the acoustic guitar part has an intricate eight-bar solo that needs to be redone. The advantage of using cycle recording and autodrop here is that you could define a cycle region giving you a two-bar intro (say) to the part you need to rerecord and a couple of bars of outro, making it easier to accomplish a musical phrasing. For example, say you're a vocalist trying to record a one-octave scale, and your pitch is off on the "fa-so." With cycle recording and autodrop, you could sing along with the "do-re-mi" and settle your pitch before rerecording the notes you flubbed, whereas (as I understand it) if you're just rerecording the "fa-so" in cycle mode, you won't get the "do-re-mi" as an intro after the first pass and would then just hope that you're nailing the notes you need to rerecord cold.
You can combine cycle recording with autodrop in Midi - why not in audio? It's a desireable feature in both.

Problem with MERGE statement

Hi All,
We are encountering a strange problem with the merge command.

ICloud not syncing and Contact problems with merging duplicates

I was having problems with the syncing of my notes app. When I got the iphone 5 I had since using Mountain Lion I had started to make use of the fact that the notes sync across iCloud. Great. Although not for long. Everything was going fine notes were syncing across devices but then spontaneously they stopped syncing for no apparent reason. I then went to look in settings, looked online and all through discussion forums. Switching notes on and off on icloud both on the macbook and on my iphone. Restarting devices etc etc. iCloud itself online was not able to access the notes app. I kept getting error messages that I would submit to apple. Then I finally relqinquished and unhooked the iCloud accounts from the computer and phone. And at the sacrifice of losing albums in my photostream they sprung back to syncing.
Then the real problem happened. I had selected to keep a copy of my address book in contacts when I unhooked my computer just in case. When everything linked back up again, I then had duplicates in my address book. Not 1 (this can happen just having icloud active) but 5 sets of duplicates, granted I had kept a version from when I unhooked. So I looked around again for how I could quickly and easily get rid of duplicates. Following suggestions online I go into contacts>cards>look for duplicates. I had 1200 or somthing duplicates, so naturally when given the option "would you like to merge the info in these duplicates I click yes. The MacBook starts to chugg away. Its gonna take a while. So I come back later. And before returning to CONTACTS, go to send a message from MESSAGES and I notice that 80% of the threads have no name. I go back to CONTACTS and WHAM 100s of contacts disappeared in the merge never to be retrieived again. You cant restore CONTACTS from Time Machine as it is just mirrors the contacts that you have in present time. Restoring phone doesn't work becasue it just downloads from iCloud after it has restored. TOTALLY RIDICULOUS. I am livid.

what I mean is - create a complete new contact on your contacts and select a picture for it from your Mac. Then set it as "make this my card"
Once you have done that - presumably it will sync with iCloud - have a look and the contact should appear on your iPhone too.
On your iPhone go on Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendar> Under "Contacts: in "My Info" select That new contact you created on your Mac.
Let me know if that works.
-On another note, so what you are saying is, if I take my 15' Macbook Pro in and they have none of the old ones in stock, they just give you a Retina display one! Did you take it to them for the contact issue you were having or something else?

Problem with Merge into stmt

Dears,
I m using 10g XE.
I am using merge into stmt, to inesrt non matched records and to update matched records with respect to primary key.
I have two uers in oracle. (TMP and REAL)
I have n number of tables with same definition in both users.
I will always merge all the tables into "REAL" from TMP uesr
Each and very table may contain more than 200000 records.
while merging some of the records got deleted from the REAL user which already available in REAL user.
i.e records available in TEMP.A is not available in REAL.A
if i re rerun the merge qry once again, the missing records inserted into REAL.A
how it happens? is ther is any bug with merge into stmt while processing huge amount of rows.
Sample Qry:
MERGE INTO REAL.med_stock_sales B
USING (
SELECT 1 AS RETAIL_OUTLET_ID,mss_id,MSS_ITEMCODE,MSS_TRAN_DATE,MSS_TRAN_TYPE,MSS_REF_NO,MSS_TRANS_QTY,MSS_FREE_QTY,MSS_PUR_RATE,MSS_SELLING,MSS_TAG,MSS_BNO,MSS_CAT1,MSS_CAT2,MSS_CAT3,MSS_CAT4,MSS_CAT5,MSS_CAT6,MSS_CAT7,MSS_CAT8,MSS_CAT9,MSS_CAT10,MSS_compid,MSS_diviid,MSS_locaid,TS,MSS_BAGS FROM TMP.med_stock_sales) E

Hi
if i re rerun the merge qry once again, the missing records inserted into REAL.AThat's exactly what you would expect. Your SQL will insert into REAL.med_stock_sales any records that are in the TEMP table but not in the REAL table - assuming the primary key is (RETAIL_OUTLET_ID, MSS_ID). So if you delete records from REAL, they will keep being repopulated from TEMP - and matching records in REAL will be updated from TEMP
If you want to be able to delete records from REAL without this happening, you have a couple of options:
1) when you delete from REAL, also delete from TEMP (eg using a trigger). This is simplest.
2) when you delete from REAL, don't actually delete, just update a DELETED_YN flag
3) when you delete from REAL, add the primary key to a DELETED_STOCK table. Then change your merge to exclude "deleted" records
MERGE INTO REAL.med_stock_sales B
USING (
SELECT 1 AS RETAIL_OUTLET_ID,mss_id,MSS_ITEMCODE
   ,MSS_TRAN_DATE,MSS_TRAN_TYPE,MSS_REF_NO,MSS_TRANS_QTY,MSS_FREE_QTY
   ,MSS_PUR_RATE,MSS_SELLING,MSS_TAG,MSS_BNO
   ,MSS_CAT1,MSS_CAT2,MSS_CAT3,MSS_CAT4,MSS_CAT5,MSS_CAT6,MSS_CAT7,MSS_CAT8,MSS_CAT9,MSS_CAT10
   ,MSS_compid,MSS_diviid,MSS_locaid,TS,MSS_BAGS
FROM TMP.med_stock_sales ss
WHERE not exists (
    SELECT 1 FROM REAL.DELETED_STOCK ds
    WHERE ds.RETAIL_OUTLET_ID = ss.RETAIL_OUTLET_ID AND ds.MSS_ID = ss.mss_id
) E
ON (B.RETAIL_OUTLET_ID = E.RETAIL_OUTLET_ID AND B.MSS_ID = E.mss_id )
WHEN MATCHED THEN ...Hope that helps

Table cells - Problem with merged cells

Hi
I was experiencing very weird behavior with my tables until I realized that it was caused by merged cells
My script gives a dialog which allows the user to choose from which column to start and from which row.
As the script iterates through the cells in the selection I was getting weird results
Through using .select() function I was able to see that depending on the column, some times row 5 could be which seems to be row 3!
The reason was because of merged cells in that row
I.e., when some cells are merged together, only the first column of those merged cells is recognized - the others are not
so it comes out that when merging cells from column 3 to 5, column 3 has a cell in that row, columns 4 and 5 do not, and column 6 does!
Is there a way to get around this behavior?
Thanks
Davey

I don't understand the point of your post.
If you're trying to report a problem or "bug" with Pages, that is not the purpose of this user-to-user forum. You should leave feedback for the Pages team on this page.
I've not had a problem opening Word files with tables in Pages. If you're saying Word can't handle tables with merged cells, then don't use merged cells in files you are going to export as Word. Word & Pages must handle merged table cells differently, as I know both can do that. As far as RTF, Pages can open & export as RTF. Again, if you are going to export as RTF, don't use tables. Neither of these is a fault of Pages, just limitations of the formats/programs.

Problems with Upload record to Infotype 2010 together with Cost Assignment (PREF)

Hi
I create program using your guide
http://scn.sap.com/people/aditya.palekar/blog/2010/01/19/uploading-a-pa-infotype-record-with-cost-assignment
but I have two problems:
If I call method "CALL METHOD ref2->modify_data" is obligatory parameter SECONDARY_RECORD, but I update only infotype 2010 as PRIMARY_RECORD and PREF (I don't have secondary record).
When for secondary_record use same record as primary_record, give me an error. When for secondary_record use null record give me a error.
I try used "ref2->MODIFY_PRIMARY_RECORD" and "ref2->MODIFY_PREF" together, but using method "CALL METHOD g_masterdata_bl->INSERT" updated only last record (in this case is PREF because is call as last method"ref2->MODIFY_PREF")
What InfoType is Secondary_Record for InfoType 2010?
I have problem with NO COMMIT data. Method "CALL METHOD g_masterdata_bl->flush" have a parameter no_commit with two possible options. When I use no_commit = 'X', this commit data even if this do don't commit.
Why still commit data? When this method no_commit data?
Thank you

Problems with Update Record behavior

I am sorry to ask this question again since I have not resolved the issue yet.
When I am using the Dreamweaver Update Record behavior, I am not able to get the form validation to work. I implemented the form validation by inserting onsubmit="return someFormValidation(this);" into the update form created by Dreamweaver.
When I hit the submit button the JavaScript validation function is not even invoked.
However when I use the same method for form validation with Insert Record behavior I have no problems. Is this difference I am observing between the Insert and Update behaviors the way Dreamweaver supposed to work? If yes how can I do my form validation during an Update Record?
Note that the pages involved are all php pages, therefore we are talking about server side validation here.
If anyone can help I will be grateful as I am really stuck...

I am closing this even though I got no answers as the weird behaviour has disappeared....

Trimming tool problems with merged clips

I'm trying to edit a filmstyle sequence with merged clips (created video and audio synched, then merged into new clips). This works fine, except when I try to trim edits in the sequence - the trim tool works, but the picture in the left and right trim windows jump to different parts of the clips being trimmed, and do not show the correct frames being trimmed. The trim tool works fine when used with unmerged clips, but somehow can't seem to work with the synched up clips
The footage being edited was shot on RED and is in pro rez 4:4:4 format.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is this a bug, or is there a way around this? Thanks for any pointers...

I created a new user account and trashed my preferences and I have the same problems. I created a new project, and new sequences. Same problems.
It only happens with 23.98 (batch reverse telecined using Cinema Tools) NTSC DV clips that have been merged with separate 24-bit 48 khz Quicktime audio clips (converted from BWF using BWF2XML). Clips that were captured from the tape with audio and video simultaneously don't have this problem. The discrepancies between the actual amounts trimmed and the white numbers in the trim windows are consistent. If it's off by 6:10 on a clip, every time I try to trim that clip it will be off by the same amount. But the number varies from clip to clip. It's generally 5-8 seconds.
If I try to trim only the audio, I don't have any trouble. If I trim the audio and video at the same time I don't have any trouble. It's only when I trim the video on its own. If I use the original video clip before it's merged with an audio track then it trims fine. If I cut the merged clip into a sequence then delete the audio track from the sequence the problem remains.

Problem with cycle recording

Greetings, folks. I've run into what I think is an odd problem in cycle recording in an audio track. What I wanted to do was to automatically record multiple takes of a guitar solo. Consulting the manual and both the LP7 and Advanced LP7 guides and set up what I thought was the proper configuration for doing that: under File > Song settings > Recording, I checked the "Auto mute" and "Auto Create Tracks in Cycle Record" checkboxes, I defined a cycle region, I defined a shorter autodrop zone within that cycle region, armed the track, then hit record. I thought that Logic would then create a new track with each cycle pass while I was playing, and that those tracks would play through the audio object of the track that had been armed for recording.
What happened instead was that, after a single pass, recording would switch off (though it would continue to cycle in playback), so that in order to record multiple passes I needed to stop, reset the track to the beginning of the cycle region, and then hit record again. The audio regions I recorded on successive takes also don't display on individual tracks. I'd like to be able to see them all in the arrange window and be able to play them through the original track's audio object for editing purposes, but I can't figure out how to do that either (without creating multiple tracks and then manually dragging each take from the audio window).
So I guess I have two questions: first, what did I do wrong in attempting to cycle record, and then how can I view all of the individually recorded takes in the arrange window?
Thanks,
Trent

Jord, when I called it a "phenomenon" I did not mean to describe it as a bug or fault - you're right, it is a desireable feature of cycle recording.
As far as your question goes: Suppose you are recording track-by-track a song with two parts, an acoustic guitar and vocals, and the acoustic guitar part has an intricate eight-bar solo that needs to be redone. The advantage of using cycle recording and autodrop here is that you could define a cycle region giving you a two-bar intro (say) to the part you need to rerecord and a couple of bars of outro, making it easier to accomplish a musical phrasing. For example, say you're a vocalist trying to record a one-octave scale, and your pitch is off on the "fa-so." With cycle recording and autodrop, you could sing along with the "do-re-mi" and settle your pitch before rerecording the notes you flubbed, whereas (as I understand it) if you're just rerecording the "fa-so" in cycle mode, you won't get the "do-re-mi" as an intro after the first pass and would then just hope that you're nailing the notes you need to rerecord cold.
You can combine cycle recording with autodrop in Midi - why not in audio? It's a desireable feature in both.
