Remote key for lookup tables

Hi,
I need some advice on remote keys for lookup tables.
We have loaded lookup data from several client system into the MDM repository. Each of the client system can have diffferences in the lookup values. What we need to do is to enable the keymappings so that the syndicator would know which value belongs to which system.
The tricky part is. We haven't managed to send out the values based on the remote keys. We do <b></b>not<b></b> want to send the lookup tables themselves but the actually main table records. All lookup data should be checked at the point of the syndication and only the used lookup values that orginally came from one system should be send to that particular system. Otherwise they should be tag should be blank.
Is this the right approach to handle this demand or is there a different way to take care of this? What would be the right settings in the syndicator?
Help will be rewarded.
Thank you very much
best regards
Nicolas

Hi Andreas,
that is correct. Let's take two examples:
1) regions
2) Sales Area data (qualified lookup data)
Both tables are filled and loaded directly from the R/3s. So you would already know which value belongs to which system.
The problem that I have is that we will not map the remote key from the main table because it will be blank for new created master data (Centralization scenario). Therefore we cannot map the remote key from the attached lookup tables, can we?
The remote key will only work for lookup tables if the remote key of the actual master data is mapped. Since we don't have the remote key (local customer ID form R/3) in MDM and since we do not create it at the point of the syndication... how would the SAP standard scenario would look like for that?
This is nothing extraordinary it's just a standard centralization scneario.
Please advice.
Thanks alot
best regards
Nicolas

Is it possible to create many primary key for a table?

hello sir/mam.
i am selva, i am new to abap,
is it possible to create many primary key for a table?
please guide me.

Hi Selva,
Many Primary Keys = Composite Key.
i.e some set of columns will enable you to identify a unique row from a set of rows in the table.
This can be achieved by checking the primary key check box in se11.
Hope it helps.

How to use remote directory for external table

Hi Folks,
I have 2 Oracle 11GR2 64 bit database installed on Win 2008 server as prod1 and prod2.
I have one directory created on prod1 server as EXT_TAB_DIR using the path as D:\OrsDWtest_dir .
I want to use this directory in Prod2 server and use external table using this remote directory.
I am able to access the Prod1 directory from Prod2 machine and also i have created Network map drive as Z drive pointing to that prod1 D:\OrsDWtest_dir directory. Also i checked read and Write permissions are there . I am able to create the external table but when i try to fetch the data i m getting below error ..
ORA-29913: error in executing ODCIEXTTABLEOPEN callout
ORA-29400: data cartridge error
KUP-04040: file IOMM_20121213_060736.csv in EXT_TAB_DIR not found
now my doubt is this possible ? Can we use remote directory for External table ? or is there is there any alternative way to achieve same ?
Thanks & Regards,

Getting Candidate Keys for a Table?

Hi,
Does anyone know a way of getting a list of all candidate keys for a table? (all "UNIQUE" sets of columns defined when creating a table).
I looked in DatabaseMetaData, but there you can only get a list of primary key fields.
I'm using Java 1.3.1 with a PostgreSQL backend.
Cheers
Amar

run a query against the Meta-data tables of the database for getting the UNIQUE columns.

Create key mapping using import manager for lookup table FROM EXCEL file

hello,
i would like create key mapping while importing the values via excel file.
the source file containing the key, but how do i map it to the lookup table?
the properties of the table has enable the creation of mapping key. but during the mapping in import manager, i cant find any way to map the key mapping..
eg
lookup table contains:
Material Group
Code
excel file contain
MatGroup1 Code System
Thanks!
Shanti

Hi Shanti,
Assuming you have already defined below listed points
1) Key Mapping "Yes" to your lookup table in MDM Console
2) Created a New Remote System in MDM console
3) proper rights for your account for updating the remote key values in to data manager through import manager.
Your sample file can have Material Group and Code alone which can be exported from Data Manager by File-> Export To -> Excel, if you have data already in Data Manager.
Open your sample file through Import Manager by selecting the remote system for which you want to import the Key mapping.
(Do Not select MDM as Remote System, which do not allows you to maintain key mapping values) and also the file type as Excel
Now select your Soruce and Destination tables, under the destination fields you will be seeing a new field called [Remote Key]
Map you source and destination fields correspondingly and Clone your source field code by right clicking on code in the source hierarchy and map it to Remote Key if you want the code to be in the remote key values.
And in the matching criteria select destination field code as a Matching field and change the default import action to Update NULL fields or UPDATED MAPPED FIELDS as required,
After sucessfull import you can check the Remote Key values in Data Manager.
Hope this helps
Thanks

Remote Keys for Multiple Systems

I am working on an SRM project where we have internal catalogs items (from ECC) and external catalog items (from Excel files) going into an MDM Catalog repository. For both, we use a lookup table for the Supplier number to cross-ref to a supplier name.
We have a Supplier List message that runs from ECC to MDMCAT to populate this table. In doing so, it creates a key mapping for the ECC remote system...which gets used for cross-referencing supplier names when catalog items load.
The issue...we do not have such a Supplier List from the external catalog "remote system", so when external catalog items get loaded there is no supplier number/name cross-ref happening. I can manually create key mappings for the external remote system, but I want to automate it.
I am thinking about having our PI middleware make a copy of the ECC Supplier Lists and send them to a new port set up as the external remote system...thinking that this would generated extenal system keys...hopefully without duplicating supplier lookup records. Before proceeding, I wanted to throw this out to see if there is a better solution.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Keith

Hi Keith,
some remarks:
if you send data from ECC to MDMCAT, the catalog items contain the supplier keys of the ECC system. That's why the import works automatically. If you want to reuse the ECC supplier keys, the first question to answer is: does your external system use exactly the SAME keys as ECC? Only if this is the case, duplicating the ECC supplier message works for you. Otherwise you'd create keys for your external system that are never sent by the external system.
If the external system uses the same keys as ECC, the next question is how often do you update the supplier list in MDM? Regularly? Only once? If regularly your option with PI is a good idea. This won't duplicate supplier records as Import Manager (or MDIS) is able to identify already existing suppliers and updates the remote keys only (anyways you should check the related import map!). If it's a one time action only, you can re-open the same file multiple times for different remote systems with Import Manager. Then you wouldn't have to configure an additional connection from PI to MDM.
Best regards
Michael

How to use Remote key for linking two repository

Hi,
I have a challenge like not to repeate common tables like Company_code,Currency,Vendor name,customer name across all repositories.
Is there any way I can use 'Remote key' to link different repository.
I can create a Main table with all common attributes required across the repository but want to know how I can connect it to different repository.
For example to get company-code in Vendor table , how can I link Company-code main table(customized) in another repository may be thru 'Remote key'.
Going thru java api route is not prefffered for the sake of simple solution.
Appreciate your help in providing any idea and detail steps for the process.

Tab key and lookup table

Hi,
How to use the 'Tab' key to open a lookup table, E.g. BP Code, Name?
Alternatively, how to use the 'Tab' key to call a formatted search? I hope to follow the standard in SBO and do away the Shift-F2.
I am using VB and 2004B. Your input will be appreciated.

I think you can mimic every user action with UIAPI.
Therefore, e.g. in Sales Order Form you activate the BPCode item (.Click) and hit Tab (.SendKeys(vbTab)).
You could also try clicking the the iconitem ("67") next to BPCode.
If you want to assign a Choose From List (CFL) to an item of your choice using UIAPI then you should wait for 2005.
Shift-F2 is standard in SBO UI for launching FSs, why would you like to disable it?
If you want to enable tabbing to kick-off an existing FS, then you should capture the tabbing event (et_KEY_DOWN) in your item and then use SendKeys for sending Shift-F2 to keyboard.

How to create a foreign key for the table from two different tables?

Hi All,
I have a three table like below. In the below table SAMPLE_CONS_CHECK and SAMPLE_CONS2_CHECK will be having the primary key for NAME column. The same SAMPLE_CONS3_CHECK table also having the primary key for NAME column and forieign key for SAMPLE_CONS_CHECK and SAMPLE_CONS2_CHECK tables. See the below code 2
code 1:
CREATE TABLE SAMPLE_CONS_CHECK
        (NAME VARCHAR2(10),
        SERIES VARCHAR2(5)
CREATE TABLE SAMPLE_CONS2_CHECK
        (NAME VARCHAR2(5),
         MODEL NUMBER
CREATE TABLE SAMPLE_CONS3_CHECK
        (NAME VARCHAR2(5),
         MODEL_NO NUMBER
        )code 2
alter table SAMPLE_CONS_CHECK
add constraint SAMPLE_CONS_CHECK_pk primary key (NAME)
alter table SAMPLE_CONS2_CHECK
add constraint SAMPLE_CONS2_CHECK_pk primary key (NAME)
alter table SAMPLE_CONS3_CHECK
add constraint SAMPLE_CONS3_CHECK_pk primary key (NAME)
ALTER TABLE SAMPLE_CONS3_CHECK ADD
CONSTRAINT SAMPLE_CONS3_CHECK_FK1 FOREIGN KEY
     NAME
) REFERENCES SAMPLE_CONS_CHECK
    NAME
) ON DELETE CASCADE;
ALTER TABLE SAMPLE_CONS3_CHECK ADD
CONSTRAINT SAMPLE_CONS3_CHECK_FK2 FOREIGN KEY
     NAME
) REFERENCES SAMPLE_CONS2_CHECK
    NAME
) ON DELETE CASCADE;From the above schenario i am able to insert the data to SAMPLE_CONS3_CHECK table. But the parent data is already available in the parent table. The problem is here two different constarints from two different tables. While inserting, it is checking from both the tables whether the parent is exist or not.
How can i solve this problem? Can anyone halp me about this?
Thanks

Actually the design is completely incorrect.
What you say is
I have
'foo', 'foo series'
'foo','foo model'
'foo',666
By virtue of table3 referring to both table1 and table2.
This means you actually need to have 1 (one) table:
'foo','foo series','foo model', 666
And the 'problem' disappears.

How to define Composite primary key for a Table

Hi ,
I am basically more into Java Programming , with little bit knowledge on Oracle as DataBase .so please excuse for my silly doubts .
Can anybody please tell me how to define a Composite Primary Key on a Table .
Thanks in advance .

Here is an example right out of the Oracle documentation and the syntax for adding PK since you mention adding a composite PK.
Example creating composite index

Question on indexing foreign key for replicated table

Hi everybody,
I have 2 tables with following script
create table
parent(parent_id number(2) not null,
parent_name varchar(20),
constraint parent_pk primary key(parent_id))
create table child(child_id number(2) not null,
parent_id number(2) not null,
child_name varchar2(20),
constraint pk_child primary key(child_id,parent_id),
constraint fk_child foreign key (parent_id) references parenr(parent_id)
I want to replicate them and I know to replicate these 2 tables i should add them to my replication group, my question is that the child_id has foreign key so as below link says
http://dbataj.blogspot.com/2007/11/advance-replication-part-ii-master.html
I should put an index on the foreign key.What type of index should it be and is the following script correct for my purpose?
CREATE BITMAP
INDEX "fk_child"
ON child ("PARENT_ID")
TABLESPACE "USERS"
I would appreciate your help in advance.
Mery

A bitmap index is almost certainly not the sort of index you'd want to create. You would normally want just a normal index, i.e.
CREATE INDEX fk_child
ON child( parent_id )on the master database just to support normal DML operations (otherwise, deleting a row from the parent table requires doing a full table scan on the child table to see if there are any orphaned child records).
If you are trying to set up a multi-master replication environment, you would also need to replicate this index, since you'll want to support basic DML on both nodes.

Primary key for active table

hi
can anyone tell me step by step to create primarykey for active table of dso that already has data loaded. few requests are activated and few are not activated.
points for sure.
regards
anil

Anil,
This is absolutely mandatory to delete the data from any of the table if you want to change the key fields of the table. This is as good as universal law in data base theory
Now as far as your ODS is concerned, you have to delete the complete data from it and then you can change the key fields of it. Again you just need to change this in the definition of ODS and not in any particular table.
Just change the definition of ODS in development and transport it to production. Make sure top delete the data before you transport it. If not, transport will fail.
Hope this info helps you.

Yogesh

How many primary keys for one table?can we add more primary keys

In general Table have one primary key.is it possible to more than one primary key in a table?(ie is it possible to add more than one pirmary key in a table). Help me out.

pls do check this link
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cf/21ea0b446011d189700000e8322d00/frameset.htm|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cf/21ea0b446011d189700000e8322d00/frameset.htm]
All the key fields of a table must be stored together at the beginning of the table. A non-key field may not occur between two key fields.
A maximum of 16 key fields per table is permitted. The maximum length of the table key is 255.
If the key length is greater than 120, there are restrictions when transporting table entries. The key can only be specified up to a maximum of 120 places in a transport. If the key is larger than 120, table entries must be transported generically.

Any easy way to generate unique primary key for database table?

I'm currently playing with the J2EE reference implementation from Sun which comes with the IBM Cloudscape database. This Cloudscape database supports the use of an AutoIncrement field.
First question: Can I use CMP and assume that the database will generate a proper key for me? Anyone tried it out successfully before?
Also, based on what I've heard so far, it seems that generating database primary key is not really well-supported by J2EE using CMP in that a lot of J2EE developers have to resort to workarounds like using a session bean, JDBC and (1) some seed numbers for ID implanted in the database itself (as in the J2EE tutorial DukesBankApp example) or (2) using the SQL MAX aggregation command + 1. Usign seed number is contradictory to good database design and using MAX is dangerous for heavy traffic application if 2 beans try to insert themselves into the database at the same time (synchronizarion problem).
Anyway I find it dumb that we still have to go back to JDBC and SQL which was the reason why the concept Entity Bean was introduced; to make database persistence transparent! Now it seems that J2EE makes it worse and more troublesome than before.
Second Question: Is there any easy (hopefully transparent/automatic) way of generating primary key ID?

if you want to rely on your container or database then go hard, will probably be faster.
to make a cross container/db soln I used a CMP Entity bean called Sequence with one field for uid
I use one instance and increment the field each time.
To do the logic, I have a utils class with static method, no need for session bean overhead
I reckon this approach is OK considering all things

How add new field as primary key for existing table

Hi,
There is table with name REVIEWER_REUSE_EFFORT and the table has 8000 rows in it.
Now the enhacement i must do on this table is there is no primary key on this table. so i must create a ID also add values to this table of ID
Table structure is like this
Create table REVIEWER_REUSE_EFFORT
PRO_ID number,
POBJ_ID number,
TASK_ID number,
POTENTIAL_EFFORT number,
COMMENTS varchar2(1200),
CREATED_BY varchar2(100),
CREATION_DATE sysdate
UPDATED_BY varchar2(1200),
UPDATED_DATE sysdate
Please suggest me how to add values in that 8000 rows
Thanks
Sudhir

Hi,
If you want to add a new column and update the new column with sequence of number
alter table REVIEWER_REUSE_EFFORT add (ID number);
update REVIEWER_REUSE_EFFORT set ID=rownum;Regards,
