Qualified table

Dear all,
I have a requirement, for a single vendor record need to maintain multiple License details.
ie., main table 'Vendor' will hold Vendor record and each vendor record may have multiple License's. Do i maintain the license table as 'multivalued' Qualified flat. If yes how do i link vendor and License tables and what field properties do i need to set.
ex: a field as qualified/non-qualifier ?
Sonali

Hi Sonali,
Vendor ID, Vendor Name, Description can be placed in the main table Vendor.
License Number, Date, Description can be placed in the Qualified table with the License number as NQ and the determining fields ie Date and Description as Qualifiers.
Now When you do mapping of the Qualified table you will be bale to see only the non qualifier fields there.Map those fields with the main table fields and import in the Qualified table.
Now when you perform the main table mapping you will be able to see the Qualifiers as well as the non qualifiers fields and the lookup qualified field as well.
Firstly map all the main table fields such as Vendor ID, Vendor Name and Description then map the qualified tabel fields this will establish the mapping between the main table nad the qualified tabel records.
Follow this below link which will explain you better on qualified atbel mapping:

Not able to see data in the qualifier table of the main tbl , Data Manager

Hi,
I have an issue of not able to see the data of two qualified table after populating them.
It is in mdm-5.5 ps4.
When populating data first time ,it shows up in those two table slots in the right side of the Data Manager.
However subsequently it does not show up in those slots , only by right click on the table and selecting "View/edit", the window pops up where those data shows up.
However unlike other qualified tables the data does not showup automatically for these two tables.
Appreciate any suggestion or feedback on this.
regards,
-reo

You may have checked the Filter Check Box next to the Qualified Lookup cell in Data Manager, when the current table is the Main Table.
You use the Filter Checkbox to limit the qualified table records by the current search selections.
Secondly, you have see if there are any Qualified Links to the main table record you are viewing.
If not, create the Qualified links in Data manager, for the main table record and the Qualified Table Record.
Once this is done, you will see the Display fields of the Qualified table for which the links exists for the given main table record.

Get Qualifier value from Qualified table

Hi,
I am trying to get all the qualifier value for a qualified table. What is the best way to do it. Can I use QualifierSearchDimension to search for all the qualifier value.
Re: Lookup [Qualified Flat] type field how to use as a query condition? link gives us a way to do this , but it talk about getting the non - qualifiers only , so How can we get the qualifier values.
The link Search Qualifier Fields : MDM Java APIs gives us a way to this , but it is using old Java API , does anyone know how to do it using MDM API SP06.
Thanks and Regards,
Subhasis

Hi Subhasis,
The Search API's will only search for a particular value in the qualified tables. In order to read all the qualifier and non qualifier for a record, please follow the below mentioned steps.
Assuming 'rec' is the variable that holds the reference for the current record.
MdmValue lookUpVal = rec.getFieldValuel(<Field Id of the field>);
com.sap.mdm.valuetypes.QualifiedLookupValue val = (com.sap.mdm.valuetypes.QualifiedLookupValue) lookUpVal;
// Get the total number of qualified records present for that field
int size = val.getValuesCount();
// Iterate through each qualified record to fetch the details
for(int i=0;i<size;i++){
 MdmValue nqVal = val.getValue(i);
 if(nqVal != null){
 MdmValue incVal = val.getQualifierFieldValue(i,<Field Id of the qualifier field value>);

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

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)

How to create a unique group field in Qualifier table

Hi,
I am trying to use a qualified table in Product maintable like "Site items".
However I would like to have two non-qual field in that like 'Plant' and 'item#' which should be an unique combination.
I have tried to create a table(X) with the above two fields with display and another table (Y)that uses the table X for lookup (site-item) so as to make it dispaly and unique both. However when i am using this Y table as a lookup for the qualified table(site items) , not able to load data.
Error message:
"Import failed. Unable to find source column index for 'Site Item ID' field"
Another issue also not able to populate data for the qualified flds even if when able to load data without making a group unique field for this qualified table.
In MDM 5.5 sp4. Thanks in advance for any tips.

Hi Beena,
In the above post of mine I suggested you to use STRING data type.
As you are telling that when creating TABLE MAINTANENCE GENERATOR you are
getting an error saying that " Datatype STRING is not supported ". I tried this, what you said is right.
After your reply I did research on this and I also met my heads,
The conclusion is IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO GENERATE TABLE MAINTANENCE for the table which is using STRING type. At last I can give you one suggestion, i.e., In the short text of that field write STANDARD TEXT name.So that whenever you want, go to this standard text, but the problem is you have to maintain it manually.
Reward all helpful answers.

Hi Gurus
I found the way to add the MDMValue in setFieldValue Method.
we can set like this:
setFieldValue(<fieldId object like fieldId[], <MdmValue like this> new StringValue("ABC"));
Now I am facing problem in adding value to lookup flat table.
According to the setFieldValue method we can assign the loookup like this:
setFieldValue(<fieldId[0]>, new LookpValue(<here we have to pass the recordID of lookup table>);
so I want to know how I can pass the recordId of lookup table here.
Please suggest.

Issue in Mapping Qualified Table in Import Manager

Hi Experts
I have extracted Customer data from R/3 ECC, I could successfully loaded reference data, but when trying to load Main table data (Using DEBMDM06 MAP) I am getting mapping issues with Qualified table (Sales Data and Bank Details).
Error Messages
Map 'Sales Data' field to import qualifier(s)
Map 'Bank Detals' field to import qualifier(s)
I have checked and found that all the field and value mapping is in place, If i remove mapping for the qualified table fields then the data is ready to import.
What is the issue, and how do I import Qualified Table data.
Appreciate your inputs

Duplicate keys possible in qualified tables.

Dear experts,
In short; when defining a qualified table in a repository you can define one or more fields as key-fields. This only prevents you from adding a the reference twice to the pre-selection but still allows you create more than one instance of this key within the same main table record.
For instance, if you have a material repository with material as key for the main table and you define a qualified table to represent the plant level data, you can still maintain more than one record for plant X in relation to material Y.
This results in data duplication and is a serious risk when distributing the data to subscribing systems.
The issue was reported through OSS and was explained to be a feature to allow multiple telephone number. etc to be maintained. No solution was provided.
We found this issue in our MDM system (MDM 5.5 SP05). Can you help us find out whether or not this issue was encountered at other clients/projects and if there is a solution? If you have the same issue, can you please let me know what version and support pack youu2019re on?
We would appriciate any help on this.
Thanks in advance.

Can we Sum the Values in the Qualified table Fields??

Hi All,
I have a requirement where..Each material has multiple UOM's, So designed it as Qualified Table.
UOM is a Qualified table.
UOM Type is NON Qualifier.
Weight Qualifier - Integer field
Length Qualifier - Integer Field
Now in main table there is a field called Net Weight.
I need to write a validation which checks Whether Sum of ''Weight'' in Qualfied table is Equal to ''Net Weight'' for that record.
So if there are 5 UOM for 1 material, then the validation should check whetehr the Sum of all 5 Weights in QT is equal to ''Net Weight'' Field in Main table!!!
Did anyone faced a similar issue, If yes How did you solve it!!
Please Help!!

Hi John,
Try this:-
Net Weight = SUM(UOM.Weight)
Here SUM is the standard function thats u need to select from list of functions.
Please let us know if it works..

Is it possible to change Overridden Qualified Table Name in code?

Hi,
Environment: Crystal Reports XI R2, 2008, Sql Server 2005
I had about 1000 reports to change. Several changes are the standard, so i had created several tools that i use to make that change in all reports.
However i can't find a way to change Overridden Qualified Table Name and remove the Catalog and Owner information, so it seems that the only way is using CR editor and make these changes one by one... not a good idea!
Does anyone managed to do this???
Thanks,
Carlos Crespo

Hi,
Thanks for your input.
I use CR in two ways: 
a) to develop reports to use in our projects - In this case we don't have major issues with this, and we chance the location of the database in code at runtime; 
b) to develop reports to use in ERP softwares from third parties - and here we are having some issues - not always but some times. 
We know that they change the location of the DB in code also (no specific info however). 
An example:
We change a report on my development PC, against a DB called TEST; 
We send the report to the customer, who runs it on its system, trying to read data from a db XYZ; 
If the customer also has a TEST db, in some reports the system reads some tables from XYZ, but others he gets the info from TEST db. In one example our customer has an invoice where all data was from the production DB, except the COUNTRY table that was read from a copy of the TEST db. After TEST was removed, the data was read from the production DB.... 
And to get you an idea: we're talking about hundreds of customers - some of them have 600 SQL DBs in the same server (small Dbs, around 70/500 MB in size) - so we can only hope that the user doesn't create a DB with the same name we used to develop the report... 
And what i don't understand is WHY we can define Overridden Qualified Table Name in same tables, and not in others. 
Example: 
One of the reports has 6 sub-reports. 
I can define Overridden Qualified Table Name in the main report (except for a View), and in 2 of the subreports - but not in the other 4... 
The zero in front of the table name shows a table where Overridden Qualified Table Name has been defined, and the original Catalog and Owner was removed - the 2 shows a table where Overridden Qualified Table Name has been defined, but the original catalog (PRITESTEDOC75) and owner (dbo) remains. 
I even tried to export the sub-reports, change this info in the sub-report, and then import it again (a suggestion from Business Object support), but it doesn't work...

SRM-MDM Catalogue Search UI - Qualified table search

Hi,
We are having the following situation:
- We have a catalogue of articles
- We have to tie an article to a location, in addition to a location-specific parameter.
- Exampe:
Article A is tied to location A, parameter A
Article B is tied to location B, parameter B
Article C is tied to location A, parameter B
- The way to solve this in MDM is to use the qualified table. I have created one where:
Location = non-qualifier
parameter = qualifier
I want to make this searchable in the SRM-MDM search UI.
The user should be able to choose one Location, and then one parameter tied to that Location, to view relevant articles.
This is no problem using SAP Portal with MDM. But how can we realise this using SRM-MDM search UI?
I have tried, but can only get a drop down or text search on the non-qualifier field.
Can anyone please help? Is this even possible?
KR;
Thomas

Hi Thomas,
Is there any possibilities to configure/add code to the search UI, or is this completely locked for customization/altering through code? Unfortunately, I feel it is standard and we can not customize it.
There is no issue in your design but if your location as well as parameter has certain(limited) number of values only. You can create location field in MDM Main table which is lookup to Locations Flat table and similarly for Parameter field lookup to Parameters table rather than using Qualified table. As you can set lookup/Text field search only, so you can set these two fields in your search criteria. where first you search for Location say US it will search records with US location and when you further give search according to parameter it will further filter(navigate) records based on both Location and parameter, just a thought came which i feel to share with you, try it if it helps 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.
Regards,
Arul Manickavel

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

Mapping issue with Qualifier table

Hi,
1. I have an issue after mapping all 3 non-qual flds of a qualifier table in main table getting the compound fld enabled but selecting it , not mapping automatically to the appropiate compound field in the destination side, but giving an error message
"unable to retrieve source record".
2. The second issue is that after mapping some of the fields and qualified table and loading the maintable data, saving the map but subsequently when trying to open the saved map , it is coming out with the usual main error window
SAP MDM Import Manager
SAP Import manager has encountered a problem and needs to close.
We are sorry for the inconvenience.
Debug Close
Appreciate your help/suggestion on this issues.
regards
-reo

Answer for Qn2:
First you have to map all the display fields to individual Source Fields..
Once you have mapped all the dispaly fields of the Qualified Table, you have to do value mapping for the Fields that require Value Mapping.
Ex: Source Field A -> Destination Display Field 1
Source Field B -> Destination Display Field 2
Source Field C -> Destination Display Field 3
Now Value Mapping where required should be done.
Once the value mapping is done, then you can create a Compound Field.
If you have done the previous steps correclty, then the compound field name is enabled for you to create Compound Field.
Now map the newly created Compound Field to the Qualified Lookup field of the main table.
Now you have to click on the Automap for value mapping.
Hope this helps.

Source file structure when importing a qualified table

Hello MDM:ers
I need to import a qualified table into the following repository
(it is simplified to illustrate the problem):
Main table: Products
Fields: ID (int), Name (Text), Part number (Qualified)
Qualified Table: Part Numbers
Fields: Manufacturer (Lookup), Part Number (Text)
Lookup table: Manufacturers
Fields: Name (Text)
The source file is a very large text file that has the following structure:
Part ID          Name     Part no. Manuf 1     Part no. Manuf2
123          Nut     ABC               XYZ
456          Bolt     DEF               QWV
The result Im looking for Is to map a file structured a above so that two main table records are created (Nut and Bolt) which both have two qualified table records for each manufacturer. I have not been able to create such a map. I have tried to partitioning and combining fields without success.
I have no problem creating the map if I manually restructure the file to look like:
Part ID          Name     Manufacturer           Part Number
123          Nut     Manufacturer 1          ABC
123          Nut     Manufacturer 2          XYZ
456          Bolt     Manufacturer 1          DEF
456          Bolt     Manufacturer 2          QWV
It where a way to import the file directly in MDM without restructuring it?

Hi Alexander,
MDIS will not work fine if you have multiple tables as the mapping is saved only for 1 table. If you have multiple tables then after performing the process of Pivoting/Reverse pivoting, you will have to use joins.
Join the other tables as Lookup in the Main Table
Save all your configuration in a map. And then configure the map in the port.
It should then work with the MDIS also.
hope it helps.
Thanks and Regards
