Security/Access at qualified table link level...

Hi,
We have users accessing MDM from different part of the world and we have a scenario wherein US user's don't want Australian user's to add/change/delete US related qualified table link...
Ex:- in "Company Code" qualified table we have link's to maintain data for different company code ex: CCode 1000 for US and CCode 2000 for Australia and I would like to restrict Australian user to access/delete CCode 1000 qualified table link. Is it possible to achive this in MDM 7.1 SP4..?
Thanks in advance..
Thanks,
Rohit

Hi Rohit,
This is not possible to achieve. MDM does not support this functionality as of now. Unfortunately, there is no plan to enhance the Qualified table functionality in future too.
Please find the official message provided by SAP for more details in one of the thread

Qualified Tables Problem

hi,
    I would like to know if possible to avoid duplicates in a Qualified table. When you create a qualified table you can set several things. firstly you can set if fields inside the qualified table are Non Qualifiers or Qualifiers and furtheremore you can set some field properties like display field...and unique field.
I realized that you can put 2 iqual records inside of a qualified table.
I would like to know how i can make so that there are not duplicate records inside the qualified table.

Hello Jose,
   Here is the example how you can eliminate the duplicates by using a qualified table
first the main table of product records shown in the figure below that contains sparse quantity pricing data for each product.
SKU     Name     1-9     1-24     1-49     10-24     25-49     50-99
113     Widget     $3.51                 $3.48     $3.44     $3.40
114     Wrench           $8.75                 $8.30     $7.99
115     Bearing                 $5.12                 $4.80
Using a qualifier to store the quantity pricing data, the qualified table would have a single field Quantity and a single qualifier Price, and would contain the quantity records shown in the figure below.
Pricing:
Quantity     [Price]
1-9
1-24
1-49
10-24
25-49
50-99
A qualified lookup field in the main table would replace all of the quantity price fields, and the pricing data would be stored as qualifier values associated with main table/qualified table links, as shown in figure below.
SKU     Name     Lookup [Pricing]
113     Widget     1-9; $3.51
          10-24; $3.48
          25-49; $.344
          50-99; $3.40
114     Wrench     1-24; $8.75
          25-49; $8.30
          50-99; $7.99
115     Bearing     1-49; $5.12
     50-99; $4.80
A main table/qualified table link is created only for those product/quantity combinations for which a price value actually exists.
So!, finally we can conculde this as ONLY THING THAT NEEDS TO TAKE CARE IS THAT THERE SHOULD BE NO COMMON DATA INVOVLED IN ANY OF THE COLUMN, IF THERE IS ANY COMMON DATA - THAT NEEDS TO BE CREATED CREATE IT WITH A NEW COLUMN.
Thanks,
Suresh

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.

Accessing large partitioned tables over a database link - any gotchas?

Hi,
We are in the middle of a corporate acquisition and I have a question about using database links to efficiently access large tables. There are two geographically distinct database instances, both on Oracle 10.2.0.5 sitting on Linux boxes.
The primary instance (PSHR) contains a PeopleSoft HR and Payroll system and sits in our data centre.
The secondary instance (HGPAY) runs a home grown payroll application and sits in a different data centre to PSHR.
The requirement is to allow PeopleSoft (PSHR) to display targeted (one employee at a time) payroll data from the secondary instance.
For example in HGPAY
CREATE TABLE MY_PAY_DATA AS
SELECT TO_CHAR(A.RN, '00000000') "EMP" -- This is an 8 digit leading 0 unique identifier
, '20110' || to_char(B.RN) "PAY_PRD" -- This is a format of fiscal year plus fortnight in year (01-27)
, C.SOME_KEY -- This is the pay element being considered - effectively random
, 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' "FILLER1"
, 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' "FILLER2"
, 'XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX' "FILLER3"
FROM ( SELECT ROWNUM "RN" FROM DUAL CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 300) A
, (SELECT ROWNUM "RN" FROM DUAL CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 3) B
, (SELECT TRUNC(ABS(DBMS_RANDOM.RANDOM())) "SOME_KEY" FROM DUAL CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 300) C
ORDER BY PAY_PRD, EMP
HGPAY.MY_PAY_DATA is Range Partitioned on EMP (approx 300 employees per partition) and List Sub-Partitioned on PAY_PRD (3 pay periods per sub-partition). I have limited the create statement above to represent one sub-paritition of data.
On average each employee generates 300 rows in this table each pay period. The table has approx 180 million rows and growing every fortnight.
In PSHR
CREATE VIEW PS_HG_PAY_DATA (EMP, PAY_PRD, SOME_KEY, FILLER1, FILLER2, FILLER3)
AS SELECT EMP, PAY_PRD, SOME_KEY, FILLER1, FILLER2, FILLER3 FROM MY_PAY_DATA@HGPAY
PeopleSoft would then generate SQL along the lines of
SELECT * FROM PS_HG_PAY_DATA WHERE EMP = ‘00002561’ AND PAY_PRD = ‘201025’
The link between the data centres where PSHR and HGPAY sit is not the best in the world, but I am expecting tens of access requests per day rather than thousands, so I believe the link should have sufficient bandwidth to meet the requirements.
I have tried a quick test on two production sized test instances and it works in that it presents the data, when I look at the explain plan I can see that the remote database is only presenting the relevant sub-partition over to PSHR rather than the whole table. Before I pat myself on the back with a "job well done" - is there a gotcha that I am missing in using dblink to access partitioned big tables?

Yes, that's about right. A lot of this depends on exactly what happens in various "oops" scenarios-- are you, for example, just burning some extra CPU until someone comes to the DBA and says "my query is slow" or does saturating the network have some knock-on effect on critical apps or random long-running queries prevent some partition maintenance operations.
In my mind, the simplest possible solution (assuming you are using a fixed username in the database link) would be to create a profile on HGPAY for the user that is defined for the database link that set a LOGICAL_READS_PER_CALL value that was large enough to handle any "reasonable" request and low enough to quickly kill any session that tried to do something "stupid". Obviously, you'd need to define "stupid" in your environment particularly where the scope of a "simple reconciliation report" is undefined. If there are no political issues and you can adjust the profile values over time as you encounter new reports that slowly increase what is deemed "reasonable" this is likely the simplest approach. If you've got to put in a change request to change the setting that has to be reviewed by the change control board at its next quarterly meeting with the outsourced DBA vendor, on the other hand, you could turn a 30 minute report into 30 hours of work spread over 30 days. In the ideal world, though, that's where I'd start.
Getting more complex, you can use Resource Manager to kill queries that run too long on the wall clock. Since the network is almost certainly going to be the bottleneck, it's probably unlikely that the CPU throttling is going to do much good-- you can probably saturate the network with a very small amount of CPU. Network throttling in my mind is an extra step up in complexity again depending on the specifics of your particular situation and what you're competing with.

Setting up item level security access

Hello,
I am new to Oracle Instant Portal and I'm trying to figure out how to set up item level security on a particular tab page. Can anyone give step by step instructions on how to make it work?
So, say that I have a tab page called HR. On that HR page, I have 3 items. For item1 and item2, I want user1 to have view access to these only, and for user2 they could have view access to item3 only.
I checked the option in the HR page's Page Access settings to Enable Item Level Security, saved the changes, and even cleared the cache, but it doesn't seem to give me any new functionality where I could specify that for item1 and item2, only user1 should have access to it, and for item3, only user2 should access it.
Can someone please help?
Thanks!

Please disregard--I figured out how to do this:
1. When you are editing the page, you must click on the "Edit Item" icon next to the item.
2. Then click on the Access tab in the upper right.
3. Select Define Item Level Access Privileges and click Apply.
4. In the Grant Access section that now appears just below, select the user id you want to grant access to the item and then click Add.

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>);

Providing un-secured access to a web report.

Hello Experts,
We have been sending out 'Load Status' emails on a daily basis for various BW loads. Recently we discontinued this process and set up a report based on one of the statistics cube. We got out the link for this web-report to all the users in our daily load status distribution list.
The problem now is that when you click on the link, it pops out a window asking for the log-on information to our production system. But it looks like a few of the users do not have access to the production system and are hence unable to access this web-report.
Is there any way to allow un-secured access to this particular web-report to all users i.e.without a screen asking for log-on information?Is it possible to set up a generic user id for this report that allows all the users to access this report without actually giving them access to our production system?
Thanks
Arvind

Arvind,
What is your BI system version ?
if it is 3.x - then the URL will have a link to your server followed by a Question mark "?" and then some parameters.
The value till the ? mark is the Web service for the same - you can make this Anonymous in SICF but then this would mean that all queries can be accessed through this URL ...
else create an RFC enabled function module based on RRW3_Query_View_data and then use this for your query and expose the same as a web service and make it anonymous ... or have a BSP page to do the same....

Can I create a Stored Procedure That access data from tables of another servers?

I'm developing a procedure and within it I'm trying to access another server and make a select into a table that belongs to this another server. When I compile this procedure I have this error message: " PLS-00904: insufficient privilege to access object BC.CADPAP", where BC.CADPAP is the problematic table.
How can I use more than one connection into an Oracle Stored Procedure?
How I can access tables of a server from a Stored Procedure since the moment I'm already connected with another server?

You need to have a Database Link between two servers. Then you could do execute that statement without any problem. Try to create a database link with the help of

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)

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.
