Reporting on Merged Records

I would like to know if there is a way to report on records that have been merged through Portal? It would be nice to be able to report which records have been merged over a time period (like within the last month), but if that is not possible, I am just looking for a way to report on merged records through other criteria. I heard that an iView is being developed to do this, but I can't find one for this functionality right now. I can display the Key Mapping info without a problem. But there is no way to search against this information.
Thanks,
Justin

I found the answer:
If you see the REP table, there is a column called REP_MAX_REP_SIZE which contains the maximum report size for each report. This value has a default value of 5000 for most of the reports. You can change this value to have a higher number so that the report returns the data. But increasing the number can reduce the response time since the number of records will be large.

Indesign CS3 Data Merge "Merge Records" Command. Help?

I'm looking to automate the merging of a mountain of records. I have 587 tab-delimited text files with 40 records each. I want to process these via Data Merge using a single pre-designed template with built-in placeholders and variable data fields, including a variable barcode graphic. In the end, I want to create 704 multi-page, 6-up per page, indesign files with merged data, and 704 multi-page PDFs.
Here's where I am at. Using a combination of AppleScript, TextWrangler and InDesign CS3, I am able to set up a loop where I can open the single template, save it to a new file with a new name, change its data source to the appropriate text file, and as a test, make a PDF of the template using the correct export preset. What I cannot seem to do is get the template to perform a "Create Merged Document...".
In InDesign CS3's AppleScript dictionary there is a command called "Merge Records" under the Data Merge section. It appears to do exactly what I am after. But when I try to use it (and the good Lord knows I have tried numerous permutations), it only returns errors like "Adobe InDesign CS3 got an error: active document doesn't understand the merge records message."
Anyone know what I am doing wrong? I have set up a separate AppleScript for testing purposes that opens up the template, saves it under a new name, and attempts a "merge records" command. Here it is. Maybe someone smart out there can tell me what I am doing wrong.
set templatePath to "Welch_Jobs:0_JOBS:280019_Churchill:WPC FILES:Workup:280019_6up_master template.indt" as text -- the main template file that will be modified, saved with a new name, then merged with its data to create a new merge file
set newTemppath to "Welch_Jobs:0_JOBS:280019_Churchill:WPC FILES:Workup:goody.indd" as text
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS3"
open file templatePath
tell active document
save to newTemppath
merge records
end tell
end tell
I have this feeling that this is a command that is actually unsupported. Google searches have been fruitless except for one poor soul who can't get it to work either. I have, however, seen that a similar JavaScript command exists called "DataMerge.mergeRecords". If it is impossible to do this via AppleScript, is it possible to make a JavaScript that will do it, and access the JavaScript with a "do script" command in the main AppleScript? If so, how would I accomplish this? What whould the JavaScript look like, and where do i need to put it?
I would greatly appreciate any help you, dear reader, can give me on this.

Well, did you look at the dictionary?:
merge recordsv : Merges records and produces an optional overset report.
merge records
data merge
output overset report file alias or
text] : The path to the file in which to store the overset report.
Note also that it's part of the Preferences Suite, not the Datamerge suite. Do you see differently?
Anyhow, you're clearly not calling it with a data merge parameter.
I also have a suspicion that it needs to not be inside a "tell active document" but it probably doesn't matter.
But my AppleScript is rusty.

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.

Merge records of one column in ALV?

Hi friends,
i am creating alv grid report(with out oops). i am calculating value for one field that value is common for all the records . so i want to display that as common value instead of displaying number of lines .

Report with merged table cells?

I would like to merge cells vertically on break columns in a report.
Something like:
| John | 123 Main |
| |------------------------------|
| | 456 First |
|-----------------------------------------|
| Jane | 789 Sycamore |
(you'll have to paste this and use a fixed font to see it properly)
Currently, by just setting break formating, I get an empty cell as the second row for John. I would like that cell below John to be merged with John (no border between).
How can I accomplish this?
Van

Sound like what youre looking for is a master-detail form. You can just use the wizard to create this. You will be asked for table names, columns to display etc., and everything will be generated for you. If you dont want to have the detail report or master record updateable, you can just change the display types to display-only.

Different options to merge records automatically?

Hi All,
Can any one please do let me know what are the different options/ways we can automatically merge a record?
Regards,
Rajeev

Hi Rajeev,
In addition to what I already mentioned,let me jot down my 2 cents here:
If in any case you are going for automatic merging of records,then you have to assumption/decions to make.
I mean you will either have to assume that your repository data is in very good shape and final merged record will take all the field data in MDM OR the source is in better shape and final field value should be picked from incoming record.
Now if you assume the former,that implies data is in good shape,then question comes how come duplicates are still there?
In case you use later assumption,you would have to ensure that data is in best shape through Validations/Assignments/Approvals and also take a call that MDM is storing data only for reporting purpose or hormonization also.
The following blog can give a fair idea regarding the code :
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b080b97d-8194-2c10-fa97-dd5940195384?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
In all its a risky venture when you are going ahead with assumption with critical master data as it can cost big to business.
Thanks,
Ravi

How to create report which includes records of current month and last 7 days of previous month.

Hi Experts,
I need to create a report which includes records of current month and last 7 days of previous month.
I will get records of current month by this formula :- month({PROBSUMMARYM1.OPEN_TIME})=month(currentdate)
Please tell me how to add the records of last 7 days of previous Month for the same report.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Ajay,
If you have more than a year data in your database then your formula will return wrong results. ie. If your data consist of 2012,2013,2014 data then below formula will return all 8th month data irrespective of year. So, you need to check year also here
month({PROBSUMMARYM1.OPEN_TIME})=month(currentdate) and
Year({PROBSUMMARYM1.OPEN_TIME})=Year(currentdate)
Now add Abhilash second statement in OR so, your formula should look like :
(month({PROBSUMMARYM1.OPEN_TIME})=month(currentdate) and
Year({PROBSUMMARYM1.OPEN_TIME})=Year(currentdate))
OR
Date({PROBSUMMARYM1.OPEN_TIME}) IN [DateAdd('d',-7,Maximum(LastFullMonth)), Maximum(LastFullMonth)

How can I save individual merged records automatically in seperate folder?

I have several hundred records to pull in via a mailmerge.
one record per page and one per document.
I can do the merge fine, however at present it just keeps all of the records open until I save them which means I can only do these in batches else indesign crashes.
Is there a way I can get indesign to automatically save each individually merged record into a seperate folder? Ideally naming the saved document after two of the fields so the naming convention would be <<id>>-<<name>>
I've seen some stuff about scripting being available to indesign and I don't mind doing the reading and putting in the work to make this happen - Can anyone point me in the direction of any scripting for indesign quickstart type guides or offer up any other suggestion of how the above may be achieved.
Many Thanks

There are a couple of ways that this could be done but it involves scripts. See the following adobe forum posts:

You can create a data driven subscription to loop through records in the table and create pdf based on number of customerid.
Have a look at this for DD subscriptions :

Opening updated report fails because record selection filter is invalid

I am trying to update a report stored in BOE XI. The report has been modified and the main part of the report has been moved to a subreport.   I first replace the .rpt file with the updated report. Then I attempt to open the report using the code below it, but it throws an error and complains about an unknown field being mentioned in the filter
oReportAppFactory = (IReportAppFactory) es.getService("", "RASReportService");
oReportClientDocument = oReportAppFactory.openDocument((IInfoObject) oReport, 0, Locale.ENGLISH);
ERROR MESSAGE: Cannot open report document. --- This field name is not known.

'// Filter on desired date range
This field name is not known.
Details: errorKind
If I manually delete the record selection filter in CMC before upgrading the report all works fine. So, do I need to remove the filter before attempting to open the report or is there another step I'm missing to refresh the report using the newly updated .rpt file?

Brett

BOXIR2 FP4.6 -WebI report with merged dimensions: Incorrect data

Issue: BOXIR2 FP 4.6 -WebI report with merged dimensions: Max value of an object from second query is displayed in the report even when the formula is based on the object from the first Query.
Data displays properly on BOXIR2 SP2.
Steps to reproduce.
1.Use u2018Island Resort Marketingu2019 Universe to create a WebI report.
2. Create a Query with objects u2018Reservation Dateu2019 and u2018Future guestsu2019 and apply a query filter where the u2018Reservation Dateu2019 is between 1/1/2001 and 31/1/2001 an Run the query.
3. Add a second Query with the same objects i.e. u2018Reservation Dateu2019 and u2018Future guestsu2019 and apply a query filter where the u2018Reservation Dateu2019 is between 1/1/2001 and 31/12/2001.
4. Create a report variable MaxDate using the syntax "=Max([Query 1].[Reservation Date]) In Report"
5. Use the objects u2018Reservation Date Query 2u2019, u2018Future guests Query 2u2019 and u2018MaxDateu2019 variable to create a table in the report.
You will find the Maxdate column displays Max date values of u2018Reservation Date Query 2u2019 instead of u2018Reservation Date Query 1u2019.
Could you please advice me on this issue.

Hi Hiteshwar,
MaxDate variable returns a maximum of Reservation date from Query 1 i.e. 1/15/01 which is correct. If you put that variable separately it will display that date correctly but you are grouping it along with objects from the query2 thatu2019s why it is displaying correct value for Query 2 where it finds 1/15/01, but for other values WEBI canu2019t group this value as it refers its formula which contains Query 1 reservation date.
Hence we canu2019t say it is displaying values from Query 2 it is taking values from Query1 itself for 1/15/2001 and for remaining values it is taking non matching values from Query 2 with which it is grouping.
If you put that variable with objects from Query1 it wonu2019t display 1/15/01 but all values reservation date from query 1 contains because it is grouping based on reservation date though it is single max value.
Even when you write "=Max(Query 2.Reservation Date) formula and use it with objects from query 1 though it contains so many values it matches (Groups) only the values from reservation date from Query 1.and displays only those values i.e. 1/1/2001 and 1/15/01.
MaxDate returns 1/15/01 as Maximum Date value from Query 1 but Query 2 contains value far more greater than 1/15/01 hense that will be more incorrect data if WEBI displays maxdate as 1/15/01 along with Query 2 objects.
Here we can avoid this behavior by Custom SQL but MaxDate is a report level variable hence we canu2019t edit SQL.
If your data contains some duplicate values WEBI will repeat MaxDate value like
Reservation date     Restaurant           Future_Guests    Total Guests
1/1/01                          ABC                         3                   3
1/15/01                       XYZ                          4                   8
1/16/01                       XYZ                          4                   8
By default, WEBI Groups Total Guests based on the Restaurant and Reservation Date, but if we want we can group those values based only on Restaurant which will duplicate Total Guest values for Restaurant XYZ. But you report contains only one dimension with all unique Values we canu2019t group those.
I hope this is clear.
Thanksu2026

Currency fields in Salesforce reports display as "[Record]" in Power Query

Currency fields in Salesforce reports display as [Record] in excel when using power query. Can include screenshots due to forum rules.

Thanks - that helped me figure it out.
IF you right click on the source and click edit to get into edit mode on the query, then you have the option to expand the record. Doing this and saving does the trick.
Will try and post some screenshots later if others run into this.

Crystal Reports XI Merge Module Error

Hi,
I am attempting to create an installer that uses the latest (CRXIWIN_SP4) Crystal Reports XI merge module (CrystalReports11_RDC_Reportengine.msm).
When the installer is run an error often occurs (it only occurs on some machines and I have so far be unable to find a pattern as to which machines it fails on):
Error 1904.Module C:|Program Files\Busines Objects\BusinessObjects Entrprise 11\win32_x86\plugins\auth\secLDAP\secldap.dll failed to register. HRESULT -2147024770.
The dll in question (secldap.dll) is present on the machine at the point where the error occurs, but further inspection seems to indicate that a dependency is missing (though it's not clear what dependency).
The readme file supplied with the merge modules would seem to suggest that this is a defect in the merge module that has been fixed (ADAPT00409449).
Any help to sort this out would be much appreciated as I've run out of ideas!
Many thanks,
Simon Clarke.

Syndication of merged records to multiple backend systems (MDM 7.1)

Hi all,
I have setup an MDM scenario with >1 ECC systems connected to MDM via PI. Everything works fine in terms of end-to-end process from ECC to MDM or MDM to ECC (creation, update, syndication). I have also merged records in MDM from the same backend system and am able to see the remote key information under 'edit key mappings' and when I update the merged records in mdm the data is olso updated in ECC.
BUT the update in ECC does not work for merged records where the keys are from different backend systems.
Example:
Remote system: RS1 and RS2
I have merged two records, one from RS1 and the other from RS2. The newly created record has two key mappings (RS1/RS2). Also the newly created record shows - let's say - RS1 in MDM and the the RS2 informaion is attached as remote system information. When modifying the record in MDM, only RS1 is updated but not RS2.
Remote Systems RS1 and RS2 are set up in the Cosole. Also I have setup a port for each remote system. Syndication in general works perfectly without any problem. I know that I have to trigger syndication for each port but still does not work. Any ideas?
Thanks!!!
BR,
Erdal
P.S. I am using MDM 7.1

Hi Erdal,
OK, I assumed a setup like this.
> in 5.5 there was "Output Remote Systems" whereas in 7.1 we don't have
You have this one in 7.1, too. "Output Remote Systems" was renamed to "Remote Key Override". I don't know why, but the functionality is exactly the same.
> "Supress Unchange Records" is checked
This explains the behaviour that you are facing. "Supress Unchanged Records" is used to distribute only these records that have been changed. What happens inside MDM is the following.
MDM Server creates kind of a change pointer for the changed record AND for each remote system that record belongs to:
Imagine you have a record A with a key for RS1 and RS2 each. You change this record. MDS creates two change pointers A-RS1 and A-RS2.
Now you switch to Syndicator and distribute the records with the port for RS1, but with "Remote Key Override" for both RS1 and RS2. Syndicator creates a single message and includes both the remote keys for RS1 and RS2. Furthermore it deletes BOTH change pointers A-RS1 and A-RS2 as the record was distributed for BOTH systems!
If you then connect with Syndicator to the port for RS2 and start the syndication, Syndicator cannot find any change pointers and thus won't create a message.
If you want to send the golden record to different systems, I'd suggest to add each system to MDM Console. Create a syndication map & port FOR EACH system. Within the map use the target system only as "Remote Key Override". Use "Supress Records without key" to exclude those records, that do not have a remote key for the target system. Use "Supress unchanged records" if you want to distribute only the changed records.
If you need a message having all keys of all systems (e.g. to update a BI system with grouping information), create a specific remote system for this purpose. Create a map & port, the map shall now use the "Remote Key Override" for all systems. The "Supress" settings can be made as above, but especially for BI we're recommending to syndicate always all records (do not "Supress unchanged records").
Best regards
Michael
