Scheduling Imports and Syndication

Hello Experts,
Is it possible to schedule Importing?
If so can we do it Thrice a day in a stipulated time?
weekly?
monthly?
I am sure that syndication can be scheduled by placing it in Work flow(on record import, update, delete)
And by making the outbound port hourly, daily, weekly.
Can we schedule Syndication Monthly?
Kind Regards
Eva

Hi Eva,
How can we include an Import proces in MDM wf!!!
In Data Manager, Once you have done with your design of mdm workflow, set workflow property Trigger Action = Record Import and set Autolaunch = immediate. But as you are looking for Scheduling import, I am not sure as i have not tried it so I would suggest just check and try with Autolaunch = Threshold and set Max Records = 1000 & Max Time = 3 days if it gives you desired result.
In import Manager, import map for which you want to set it. Go to configuration options--> set the property Checkout/Workflow = Workflow name from the drop down which you created in data manager and then save the map. So whenever record import for this map it will go through this mdm workflow.
PI/XI is also a good approach to control the import timing.
As you are looking for Import Scheduling thrice a day.
I feel that as soon as files comes to your ready folder port, files get imported to MDM if your Import Server is running. So in this case you can create another folder say initial backup import where you should contain import files and with the help of scripting language/scheduler, you should move files from this folder to ready folder after every three days.
Can we schedule Syndication Monthly?
You can make use of JAVA APIs and run a batch job to schedule it monthly.
Please refer these below threads for more details:
1. Java API : Syndication
2. Call a Java API via Unix Script

Import and Syndication maps - change in XSD

HI All,
Can any one let me know are these are correct if it is then are there any work around solutions?
We created manually Import and syndication maps.. fine..After few days we changed data type/deleted the filed/added new fields.... In all these above incidents do we need to recreate import and syndication maps????
There is no other work around for this ??
2) Even if there is no change in Repository structure but change in import or syndication XSD do we need to recreate all import and syndication maps???
Your inputs are really helpful.
Thanks
Rajeev

HI Rajeev,
So for any change in the MDM repository Import maps and syndication maps are not needed to recreate from scrach right?
For minor changes like field add there is no need.For changes involving deletion of mapped fields,changing types of already mapped fields,deleting mapped tables,one should first unmap the current map and then carry out structural changes.Later one can remap them again,this is to avoid maps from getting corrupt.
If there is any change in the XSD then there is a possibility to recreate the map from scrach??
Yes
Do Update XML schema option avaliable only in MDM 7.1?? not in 5.5?
Yes
A good description and usage is given by Aamir here Update of XML syndication map when XSD is changed
One more thing want to clear : I created a scheme and assigned the XSD.. Now when I created the port I am unable to assing the schema like I do for import map??? then what is the use of XSD schema for outbbound??
Seems you are not using in the way it is supposed to.the exact usage and defining what feature is available with which port is mentioned in pg no 356 of Console guide.
What is the usual method of import XSD and Outbound XSD?? Do Source and Target systems provide XSDs to MDM or MDM provides to Source and Target Systems?
For Standard contents SAP provides ready made xsds.
It is important to note that xsds are only to make MDM and other system understand the xml so they should be same.
To do this you can use Altova tool to create xsds based on your xml,also PI can help you do the same.
You can create xsd with PI for other idoc type too.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Ravi

Regarding MDM Import and Syndication Server

Hi,
I have earlier worked in MDM Import Server.
Today, I successfully did MDM Syndication by
MDM Syndicator.
Now, the point is I need to do Import and Syndication
by MDM Import Server and MDM Syndication Server.
The MDM Version is 5.5.
Now, the point is under my installed directory:
F:\MDM SERVER\Server
in mds.ini file:
I need to give the following path:
Distribution Root Dir=F:\MDMSER~1\Server\Distributions\
I think other than these I don't have to do any configuration
in mdis.ini or mdss.ini.
Also, I have already inbound and outbound ports made and linked
to inbound and outbound maps.
Is there any more configuration needed?
Regards
Neha Singh

Hi Neha,
There are many configuration needed to complete the Automatic import and syndication using MDIS and MDSS.

Import and Syndication

Hi all
Can anyone tell me what the issues (if any) might be is we run and import process and syndication process simultaneously, provided of course that the data selection for syndication is not the data being imported

It has been our experience that one process will hold up the other. For example, we have been doing many imports and syndications as part of our set up and have done fairly large imports as well. During these imports, my syndicator will show at the bottom "please wait while the server performs an operation on behalf of 'USER' on 'MACHINE'". Once that process is completed, it will perform the next process in the queue. Hope this helps.

Setup interval on Import and Syndication server in 7.1

Hello Experts:
I am upgrading MDM from 5.5 to 7.1; I am having issues with Import Server picking up files from Ready folder, and Syndication Server creating the files on Ready Folder.
1. I checked Console, and both ports, Inbound and Outbound, are setup as Automatic.
2. I restarted both servers
The files are still on the ready folder for Import Server, and Syndication is not creating the file.
1. Do you know what else can I check to make this process automatic?
2. Do you know where, in 7.1, can I check the interval? I used to check it on the mdis.ini file, but I cannot find it in 7.1.
Thank you for your help,
Claudia Hardeman

Hi claudia,
check the below points:
1) Manually you can import and symdicate those files through import manager and syndicate manager its works fine, then PI not picked those files from ready folder, check the communication channel of receiver and sender systems.
2) files having some special characters (like ", ' etc.) MDM is not supported to special characters.
3)check the MDM server running and repository loaded or not.

How do i update & test import maps and syndication maps?

HI,
Can anyone guide me/ let me know the steps - how do i update & test import maps & syndication maps during upgrade in development system>
Regards,
Harmony

Hello Harmony
Different service packs SAP MDM 7.1 supprot the same Syndication and Import map format.
For Import map is updating you can use Import manager
For syndication map is updating - Syndicator
If your syndication and import map have been saved into repository just archive repository from your source landscape and unarchive it in destination.
If your syndication and import map haven't been saved in repository.
Exporting your maps to xml(syndication maps from syndicator and import maps from Import Manager) before migration and importing it to new repository.
According updating(modification) repository structure:
For Import map is updating you can use Import manager
For syndication map is updating - Syndicator
Another way(very exotic) - make changes in exported xml maps.
That's all

Steps to configure Import Server and Syndication server

Hi,
Can some one help me to work on Import Server and Syndication server. I know there are few forums availabe on this topic but they are not very basic. I need to know the basic step(From installation to automatic transfer of data.) to work on Import <b>Serve</b>r and Syndication <b>Server</b>.
Regards,
Ron
Message was edited by:

Hi Ron,
The MDM Import Server is a background process (service), which separates the core processing of master data imports from the front-end processing. MDM Import Server allows you to load master data records periodically from various
client systems to various MDM Servers and repositories based on the port concept.
Once the data is delivered by SAP XI on a specific port, it will automatically get picked within a configurable time interval and queued up for import processing.
MDM Import Server creates log files of the entire load process, which are stored
in the port folder Log and can be displayed in MDM Console.
If an error occurs in the automated import, the MDM Import Server stops and
drops the XML in the Exception folder of the port. You can import the XML
interactively using the MDM Import Manager and correct the error (for example
complete the import map).
Hope this might help....
thanks
Alexander
P.S. Kindly reward the points, if found helpful.

Import and Export transport requests on Netweaver 2004s Sp11 Sneak Preview

Hi Experts,
I have configured the transportation system <STMS> in order to import and export transport requests on the NSP system. The configuration is working properly as files can be imported and exported out of the C:\sapmnt\trans directory. (configuration distributed by STMS -> Overview -> Systems -> Extras -> Distribute TMS Configuration, Folder SAPMNT shared).
The problem I'm facing with the import of some example transports is given by the hanging import queues. In phase 'Import ABAP Dictionary Objects' I have the following message for almost all objects -> '... was not imported in this step'.
I tried to solve this issue by running SE38->RDDNEWPP with DDIC user to schedule job RDDIMPDP for TP imports. I also made the config in TP_DOMAIN_NSP.PFL with SYSTEM_PF = C:\SAP\NSP\SYS\profile\DEFAULT.PFL.
The error is still in logfile SLOG0732.NSP
ERROR:       The following call returned with exit code 7:
ERROR:         sapevt.exe SAP_TRIGGER_RDDIMPDP -t name=NSP
and logfile dev_evt
ERROR ***: MsSndTypeOnce, rc = -20
ERROR ***: Event raise failed
With the exports there is a similar issue in the EXPORT phase, given the note
0 entries from WDY_APPLICATIONT exported.
Batch process is available (parameter rdisp/wp_no_btc = 1)
Profile has been activated by rz10->utilities->import profile->ofactive servers.
Any ideas what still can be wrong? Does the import export and DDIC activation really work with the sneak preview?
Thanks
Christoph

Hi Peter
First of all thanks for your advice.
I did No. 1. 2. 3. steps.

Import and Syndicate Server Configuration

Hi All,
Is it possible to setup the time interval in Import and Syndicator, with specific to one repository.
For example, if i have one repository, for which the import has to run every 30 mins, and for another if it has to run every 3 mins.
Is it possibel to do it?.
Same for syndicator as well?
Thanks,
Priya.

Hello Priya,
This is possible in MDM 7.1 without PI .
1. For MDSS, there is a repository level MDSS.ini configuration setting for such a delay
From the MDM 7.1 Console Reference Guide:"
Auto Syndication Task Delay= (seconds) .
Integer.The number of seconds MDSSu2019s automatic syndication task waits after syndicating to all ports associated with the repository. Value copied from the corresponding property in MDM Console
2. With MDIS it is a bit more complicated as MDIS is able to process in chunks of data.
Therefore you are able to define the delay between chunks
From the MDM 7.1 Console Reference Guide:"
Inter-Chunk Delay= (MS)
Integer. The number of milliseconds MDIS waits between processing chunks of records to allow other clients access to MDS.
These are all explained in the Console reference guide.
I advise you to read the appropriate sections.

Hedda Cohen.

Standard SAP periodic job to schedule import of requests in target system?

Hello Folks,
Is SAP standadard job available to schedule periodic import of requests available in the target system. I know it is not advisable to do something like this, but i remeber some one telling me there is one available.
Regards,
Prashant

Thanks for you replies folks... so...there's no standard job available. Its got be scripts at OS level, and ofcourse scheduling "import all" options....
but as we agree, this is not a recommended option.
Have a good day...

Is there a DIRECT link between SD schedule lines and delivery lines?

Is there a direct link (db table) between schedule lines on a sales order (VBEP) and the delivery lines (LIPS)?
Is there a function module to retrieve the data?
Example-
One order line with 3 schedule lines.
Each schedule line is for 2 units (total of 6 units).
Three deliveries made. 1st is for 2 units, 2nd is for 1 unit (backorder), 3rd is for 3 units.
You can use document flow (table VBFA) or examine the SD document in the delivery line (LIPS) and link the delivery line to the order line. The schedule line already references the order line.
I am using math to decrement the schedule lines used and make the link between VBEP and LIPS. It works fine. I need four records back....
1st schedule line for 2 units uses delivery 123
2nd schedule line for 1 unit (partial) uses delivery 124
2nd schedule line for 1 unit (partial) uses delivery 125
3rd schedule line for 2 units uses delivery 125
Like I said, it works. Just wondering if I missed a more direct link.

As far as Db link is concern , I dont remember exactly , but 3 years before I had written a report which see Sales order schedule lines and devilry note lines against sales order. If you see process wise. when ever you create PO ( production order you assign some qty using 101 movement type .. and against production order you also give sales order . When you do delivery ( run seclude run ) it delivers against that material number , its movement is 601 ...
but I remember theres a link between these tables, VBAP,VBFA AND VBEP , LIPS ... against every sales order you can see sales invoice ( VBRP,VBRK) and you can also see your delivery note number in document flow .
I hope thisll give you some guide line, as right now I can not tell you the exact business process but I remember I written a report in SD 4 years before , in which they required Delivery against production order and sales order ... One more thing you also have production order reference on delivery item number. ( field :Empst ) . I think in my project they were maintaining this field .
Thanks

How to compare delivery date in schedule lines and PGI in outbound delivery

Hi,
I want to create a report to monitor and compare different dates in sales and delivery process.
One of my key figure is the comparison between date confirmed to the customer, that I can find in the schedule line of the sales order, and the actual goods issue date from the outbound delivery.
But I can't succeed in making the link between delivery and schedule lines, means between LIKP and VBEP.
Would you have any idea?
Thank you.

It seems there's no exact (table) connection / link between delivery item and schedule line item.
Those who were searching for this thing (link / connection between delivery item and schedule line) were recommended to use FM "RV_SCHEDULE_CHECK_DELIVERIES".
This FM calculates the delivered quantity for each schedule line, so it makes link between the delivery item and schedule lines - however if you check the code it's quite sophisticated...
(if you put a breakpoint in the FM and display a SO in VA03, you can check how the parameters have to be populated with data).

When I attempt to log on to I tunes I get the following message "The registry settings used by the I tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software Please reinstall

When I attempt to log on to I tunes I get the following message:
"The registry settings used by the I Tunes drivers for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing.
This can happen as a result of installing other CD burning software. Please re-install I Tunes."
To my knowledge no new software has been installed. I have tried un-installing and re-installing I Tunes but I still

Can anyone offer any suggestions? Do I need to download a new driver?

I can get down as far as step 11 but it shows nothing about upper filters and when I type on "If the Upper Filters entry is missing follow these instructions" nothing happens
Do you mean you can't see the instructions on what to do if there is no UpperFilters entry?
If so, here's the relevant instructions for that step:
On the right side of the Registry Editor window, right-click the UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.
Right-click the empty white space within the right-hand portion of the Registry Editor window. From the shortcut menu, choose New > Multi-String Value.
Name this new value "UpperFilters" (without the quotes). Then, right-click the newly created UpperFilters entry and choose Modify from the shortcut menu.

What is the difference between import and merge?

When setting up my wife's new account on my son's MBP, I did not migrate all of her photos as they were in 2 or 3 separate iPhoto Libraries. I researched this forum and found the best way to merge all of her libraries is to buy iPLM. According to a post by Terence Devlin, if I don't use iPLM, thumbnails, previous editing, keywords, etc., will not be imported. OK, but if we only want the originals photos and there was no editing or ratings or keywords, can't we just use the "Import" feature?
According to Apple's instructions, the way to import one library is to first switch iPhoto to open using that library (hold down the option key when opeining iPhoto and selecting that Library). Select your photo's, and the go to File>Export. Then quit iPhoto and switch to the new iPhoto Library and go to File>Import and select the file that was made during the Export. I suspect this is the approved method if you are not concerned with importing the edited photo's, keywords, etc. Is this correct?
I recognize from LarryHN's posts why you can no longer just drag and drop the files using the Finder, but if we don't use iPLM, I wanted to make sure I use the correct method to combine Libraries.
BTW, speaking of using the Finder, do any of you remember the Multi-Finder?

Yes that's correct. Remember you are not importing libraries or merging them or combining. You're exporting from one and then importing those exports to the other. That's getting the photos from one to the Finder. Then importing them.

Best app to import and study multiple choice questions.

Hi,
I'm searching for an app to help study for an exam.
Part of the studying strategy is to study by the previous exams questions. I have those (a lot of them) in text format.
The app would need to have:
- Support for multiple-choice questions;
- Easy, fast and automated way of importing the questions;
Would be nice to have:
- Ability to include a rich-text comment along with the right/wrong answer;
- Support for tagging each questions.
I've used the search function and found this:http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=1041085 but it's been a while since then.
