Qualified table update

HI MDM Gurus,
i'm facing a challenge when importing main table records into MDM. After main table record is imported with qualifiers, i want to update only qualifiers. But when updating qualifiers, the qualifier values are appending instead of replacing.
pls help.
Thanks.
Jyoti

Hi Jyoti,
While importing the qualified table thru import manager, right click on the non-qualifier combinations and choose any option either to "replace/update etc" for the non qualifiers.

Mass Update of date in Qualified table

I having problem in updating End availability date in Partner Specific Data (which is a qualified table). How can do a mass update of selected records. I have written an assignment expression which has no error but it is not doing the update.
Regards,
Marcel

Hi Marcel
Assignment and validation does not work well for qualified table. It will work for only first qualified linked record and not all.
for mass update you can use import manager map the date qualifier field and select replcae action for qualified update in the destination item.

Not able to Populate Qualified Table in Import Manager

Hi,
I am performing following steps for populating Bank Detail Qualified table in MDM from R3 but not able to populate the data.
1.Populating all lookup tables like Account_no,Bank-Key.......
2.Mapping all fields in Bank detail table except the 'Collect Auth'
field which is Qualifier
3.In Customer table(Main) mapping Collect auth to Bank Detail field and
customer_no to its corresponding ID.
It is not populating the Bank detail data which are available in lookup tables
Appreciate your suggestion
-regards,

Reo
Matching will be based on the Display field (at least one) of the Main table. This is for example the Customer Number.
You also need to map all the display fields of the qualified lookup table. Then you can set the Qualified Update Action by right clicking on the field in the main that is linked to the qualified lookup.(the Collection_Authorization I think). Set the option that well update/append/replace the qualified data fields of the looked table.
There is two how_to_guides that will help. You can download from SAP Service Market Place. (Otherwise I can email to you)

Using Import Man to load Data into Multi Value Fileds in a Qualified Table

Hi there,
When using the Import Manager, i can not use the "append" option to load data into my multi value field which is contained within my qualified table.
Manually it works fine on Data manager, so the field has been set up correctly. Only problem is appending the data during Import Manager Load.
Any reason why I do not have this option available during Field mapping in Import Manager. The selection options are shown but in gray.
Would appreciate any sugestions.
Chris Huggett

Thanks Sowseel
Its a good document but doesn't address my problem, maybe My problem isn't clear.
The structure(part of) that I have currently is as follows.
Main Table - Material
                       QFTable- MNF PN
                           LUField - MNF Name(Qualifier Single Value)
                           LUField - BU ID (Non Qualifier Multi Value)
                           TField   - P/N- (Non Qualifier)
I know how to load data to the main and qualified tables, but what I can not do, using Import Manger, is updating the "LUField - BU ID (Non Qualifier Multi Value)" using the append functionality.
Thanks

Qualified Table getting a blank row in MDM 7.1

Hi All,
We are implementing MDM 7.1 and have created custom repository with multiple main table. We have also few qualified tables.
There is only one non-qualifier in all the qualified tables. The values are u201CAu201D (Active) or u201CIu201D (Inactive).
For example:
We have a qualified table called company group, where we store the groups to which a company belongs.
The import is through import sever and xml file is the input.
When there are no values for the group at the source system, we will not receive the XML tags for the group and we will receive xml tags for other data. The non-qualifier value u201CAu201D will also be part of the company group values from source.
The expected functionality is import server should ignore the company group table in total while importing through import server, as there is no xml tags for group.
We are getting a qualified row with only non-qualifier value u201CAu201D and rest of the values as blank.
Kindly provide suggestion to resolve this.

Hi Arul
Try using "Update" or "Replace" in the Import Map for the Qualified field mapping's "Set Qualified Update" option.

Qualifier table option in import manager.

Hi Sdners,
I want ot know what is usability of "Set Qualified Update" option in menu bar of import manager.
How to use above mentioned option because when im trying to use it, its greyed out.
Iam using MDM 5.5 SP04.
Explain with below mentioned example.
Main table:
1)Material_number -
> Integer
2)Material_description -
> Text
3)Region -
> LookUpQualified(multivalued).
Qualified Table.
1)Region -
> Nonqualifier.
2)Tax -
> Nonqualifier.
3)Price -
> Qualifier.
Points will be rewarded for genuine answere.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Neethu Joy.

Neethu,
Here's the scenario where you would use this option.
Suppose you are importing the main table data and qualified table data. The initial load will go fine and you will see correct data in the main table and in the qualified table. However, if you are loading the same data again (somebody made some changes and now the client wants you to re-import the data) then you should be very careful with the qualified data. By default a qualified link is set to 'Append' which means every time you import data (even the same data), import manager will create a new link in the qualified tables. To avoid this, you choose the option 'Update' instead of append. This option will allow you to update the existing links and create new ones ONLY if there is new data for them.
Now about why the option is grayed out. To enable this option you have to right click the field that links the qualified table to the main table. For example, in your example below, the field 'Region' is the link between the qualified table and the main table. Right click on this field to set the import option.

Calculated field in qualified table

Hello
I have created three very simple calculations i qualified tables. The calculated field as well as the fields that make up the calculation are qualifiers.
None of the calculated fields are updated!
I have tried to hit the recalculate button and calculated fields in the main table work without problems.
Is this a known limitation? What can I do to trigger the update?
BR
/Alexander

Hi,
This is not the case.
Suppose in Qualified table, you have 4 fields one Non-Qualifier and three Qualifiers say FNAME, LNAME and FULLNAME all of type text.
Now for Qualifier Field FULLNAME i define Property Calculated = Yes and In Calculation Expression I write as:
CONCAT(FNAME,LNAME)
So on updating Qualifiers Value value of Qualifier Calculated field FULLNAME get updated.
Suppose intially for a record i have qualifiers value as
FNAME LNAME
Mandeep Saini
FULLNAME = Mandeep;Saini
when i update value for these two qualifiers for the same record
FNAME LNAME
Alexander Isacson
then value in for Qualifier field FULLNAME get updated to Alexander;Isacson
i tried this and it is working fine.
Hope it will Help you,

Issue creating qualified tables in MDM 5.5 SP04 Console

Try the following:
1) Make sure you are using SP04 Patch 1 (Build 5.5.33.13)
2) Unarchieve one of the supplied business content repositories (Eg. Customer, Material, etc).
3) Create a flat lookup table
4) Create a qualified table with only one field: Field type lookup flat referencing the flat lookup table created in step 3, non-qualifier, display field.
5) Create a new field in main table, type qualified multi-value, referencing the qualified table created in step 4.
6) Load the repository
7) Login to repository with data manager
8) Create 1 entry in lookup table created in step 3
9) Create 1 entry in main table, also creating 1 sub-entry in qualified table, save the record with SHIFT-ENTER
10) Make sure the record was saved, including qualified table entry
11) Close data manager
12) Open data manager again
13) Select your record and try to go in to the qualified sub-entry
In my case this produces data manager to crash.
This does not happen for qualified tables created in SP03 and updated to SP04, only for tables created directly in the SP04 console.
Please let me know if everybody is having the same problem.

Hi, Jorge,
I have MDM5.5 SP4 P1 HF1 and followed your steps (except in step 4 (THANK YOU for numbering them), I have more than one field.) At step 13, I selected my record and to my amazement the record was there but my qualified table data was gone. And I then performed your step 14, and opened the qualified lookup table, and again to my amazement the console crashed.
This definitely appears to be a bug and you should report it. I will also see if I can ask around for other solutions.

I have tried to select the Full Qualified table name property in Oracle Datawarehouse connection pool setting.
If i enable that all my sql query is showing tables as catalog.dbo.w_party_d ( my tables in physical layer showing under catalaog -> dbo -> all tables and joins)

KrisAre you saying you just need to access the database using different accounts? If that is the case, why dont you just update the connection pool settings like username and password with XXOBI_APP account which you are supposed to be using for OBIEE?

Import Server - Multiple Qualified Table - Map Crash

Hello,
Requirement: I need to update multiple qualified table using single source file.
Preparation: I have created a map where mapping to multiple qualified table fields maually.
Have created a Inbound Port using the above map.
Problem: Import server throws an exception; while opening the Import Manager using the Port Option and corresponding Exception; Lot of fields were un-mapped. Looks like Import map crashed.
Please feel free to throw some light reg the same!
Thanks
Alexander

Hi Alexander,
If you are performing multiple qualifier table mapping and importing then you will hav eto create differnt map for each table importing.In that case you will rrquire multiple inbound ports and in each ports deatils you will give the map name pertaining to which qualified lookup table you wish to import.
Actually using automatic importing for lookups is not desirable as the lookups always need to be prepopulated before your main table importing.
The exception taht you are receiving could be due to the reason that the map you are saving is using only one table mapping and so most of the fields are left unmapped.
try not to use automatic importing for Lookup qualifier tables and use manual importing and see if the the exception still comes.
Hope it helps

Qualified table search in MDM

Hello All,
I am trying to do drill down search in Data manager on qualified table.
when in search critieria i am selecting qualified table ,I am not getting all qualifiers in search tab.(we have 6 qualifiers and i am only getting 3 of them )
and in values as well when i am selecting say for
qualifier Value
country USA
if i am selecting this combination i am not getting any records whereas there are more than 1000 records of country USA .
any suggestions.!
Kunal

Hi Kunal,
Check the below statements from MDM Reference Guide and check whether you have designed the repository in the same way or not.
It permits drilldown search by qualifier lookup values even before you have selected a single qualified table record in the qualified lookup field search tab.
It permits free-form search by qualifiers (both lookup and non-lookup) when Sort Index is enabled.
In above statements "It" is nothing but when you enable the Cache property of qualifiers.
Kindly update us on your issue.

OCI mapping 2 Qualified tables

Is it possible that 2 qualified tables can be OCI mapped to the same set of fields on requistions page?
We are storing Material Master information in one Qualified table and Calalog information in another Qualified table. The end user can EITHER select Material Master information OR Catalog information, add it to the shopping cart. But, when the items from shopping cart are brought back to the Requistion page, it populates the same fields.
Can it be achieved. Any Ideas.
Thank you guys.
Shai

Hi Priti,
For multivalued field you need to check for Qualified Update option. For this you can refer page 257 of Import manager 7.1 reference guide. Try this option, it should solve your problem.

Syndicating Qualified tables

Hi,
When I syndicate a record from a repository, the qualified table information is multiplied by number of information in another qualiefied table. For example.
Main Table Product, Field - Material ID = A37878F
Qualified Table Plant,
Fields                          Values
Plant | MFG_Part    = PL02 | Gasket988
                                  PL04 | Bearing833
Qualified Table MRP
Fields                            Values
Plant | MRP            =     PL03 | 90
                                     PL05 | 120
When I syndicate this one record, the output file looks like.
A37878F        PL02 | Gasket988    PL03 | 90
A37878F        PL02 | Gasket988    PL05 | 120
A37878F        PL04 | Bearing833   PL03 | 90
A37878F        PL04 | Bearing833   PL05 | 120
I want the record to look like.
A37878F        PL02 | Gasket988
A37878F        PL02 | Gasket988
A37878F                                      PL03 | 90
A37878F                                      PL05 | 120
Is it possible? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Subhash

Hi Subhash,
This is a default behaviour of MDM Syndicator when the output is in Flat File. It forms the various combinations of all the qualified tables involves in it.
To avoid this behaviour set the Destination to XML i.e. syndicate the records in XML file.
Just try it once and kindly update us...

Assignments in qualified tables

Hello I have managed to create some assignments formulas for some of the fields in the main table of the customers repository, however now we would like to use this same functionality or similar to assign values for fields in qualified tables.
is this possible at all? or is there any workaround?
Thank you!

You can assign values to the Qualified tables linked to Main table.
You will need to add the non qualified fields to the Qualified table and the qualified fields to the main table record.
Look at the API and you will find the ways to create/update qualifier values.
Hope it helps.

Creates new record in the Qualifier Table while importing.

Hi Guys,
When sending new bank details to MDM, then MDM creates a new record in the Bank Detail qualified lookup table. This is OK. But when sending exactly same bank details again to MDM, then MDM creates again a new record in the Bank Detail qualified lookup table. I would expect that it
first performs the Automap and only if it cannot find a value, it will add a new record!
Can you guys help me out from this?
Best Regards
Devaraj PK

Hi Devaraj,
Please check these configuration options of Import Manager
1. Default Qualified Update - The default setting for whether incoming source subrecords either are appended to, completely replace,or update the set of existing qualified links of a qualified lookup field when updating existing records.
2. Default Matching Qualifiers - The default setting for which qualifiers to use as matching qualifiers when matching existing qualified links when updating existing records.
Any operation on the qualified tables will depend on the above two options.
