Some important questions on MDM functionality

Hello All,
I have some basic/imp questions to be understood on MDM 7.1 for a data consolidation project.
1) When importing records in import manager, some of the records are failed with this error message "Import failed. Unable to find value map index". When checked the records in excel source, those records are having one or two fields carrying some square like char, ? and some non readable char (chinese, japanese). SAP is the source and SAP CRM has those characters successfully maintained in the system but MDM has some issue. How do we tackle these in MDM to successfully import those records?
2) How do we archive a repository to create a new one which needs to have empty records in main table but need to carry look up table records?
3) There are some records attached to workflow and when deleted those records from data manager, system throwing error "attached to workflow". Can anyone help me how to remove this attachment and delete those records?
4)  The max number of records which can be imported at one shot in import manager is 100K? What happens when we exceed this records let's say 200K? Does the process go infinite loop? Is there a way out to import more than 100K records at one shot?
5) What are the different types of data consolidation projects MDM Gurus encounter? Elaborate please.
6) How many clients use Hierarchy, taxonomy, family tables for repository design? Is it very common or rare? And what would be some of the reference  use cases (articles) I could find in sdn blogs for these?
Thx and appreciate for responding to these and also please let me know if any additional articles around MDM which are very popular and must see for a MDM consultant.

1) When importing records in import manager, some of the records are failed with this error message "Import failed. Unable to find value map index". When checked the records in excel source, those records are having one or two fields carrying some square like char, ? and some non readable char (chinese, japanese). SAP is the source and SAP CRM has those characters successfully maintained in the system but MDM has some issue. How do we tackle these in MDM to successfully import those records?
Thats a known issue in MDM 5.5 but i am not sure about the current 7.1 SP08 release it might by fixed too, MDM Import manager does not support some special characters,only solution is to identify those records which has special characters in excel and exclude them from the load, may by unmapping the field which has special characters and load the other fields data using the map. and then login to Data manager and copy the text to the corresponding record  manually.
2) How do we archive a repository to create a new one which needs to have empty records in main table but need to carry look up table records?
We can not create a repository from an archive with out main table data automatically. you need to clean the main table manually or by using an import map we can delete the data.
Check the below link for deleting data from a main table through import manager:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0245870-0adf-2b10-46a8-ca9dcf8e1a4d?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
3) There are some records attached to workflow and when deleted those records from data manager, system throwing error "attached to workflow". Can anyone help me how to remove this attachment and delete those records?
Click on workflows tab in data manager and you can find in which workflow the record is and check the history by right clicking on the record. if you have rights to stop the workflow do that , or else login with the workflow owner and stop the workflow so that record will come out of the workflow and will be able to be delete that record.
4) The max number of records which can be imported at one shot in import manager is 100K? What happens when we exceed this records let's say 200K? Does the process go infinite loop? Is there a way out to import more than 100K records at one shot?
Importing 100K data in one shot is not a good idea, and the system will go in infinte loop. you need to split the source files in to multiple chunks. chunk size in your system will be set in MDS.INI file, talk to your MDM Basis guy he will help you in getting details of those..
5) What are the different types of data consolidation projects MDM Gurus encounter? Elaborate please.
Let us know which kind of consolidation project you are working in, Tricks will be based on the particular requirement
6) How many clients use Hierarchy, taxonomy, family tables for repository design? Is it very common or rare? And what would be some of the reference use cases (articles) I could find in sdn blogs for these?
Again for this question it will be based on the requirements... i am sure you will be able to find blogs how to use hierarchies,taxanomies and family tables but not the client names...
Hope i answered your questions.
regards

  • Some important question about JPA!!!

    Hi there, I have a web application written in Java 1.4
    I want to move this to Java 1.5 using JPA but after review old code I've got some stuck:
    1. This application have a function that get Lists from a table:
    Collection getList(String className, string tableName)
    That do follwing tasks:
    Get set of properties from class schema (by className)
    Get record set from table
    Each row of record set do:
    - Create object and set properties value from column that named the same name of property.
    - Add object to collection
    Return collection
    As my knowledge, in JPA, each entity class schema is mapped with a table schema. So, this function can't migrate. But in my application case, there are about 50 tables, mapping entities to each table is not good idea. Is there another solution?
    2. In database design, a table have composite PKs that merge from many part, each part is a property of entity too, for example table User have column User_ID = Agency_ID + Deparment_ID + SeqNum. How I can map Agency and Department properties of User entity to the table User?
    Please help me, thanks
    Thank you.

    Hi uvnet,
    I think the old code can run in java 1.5 with a minor change but the problem is I want take advantage of using 1.5 especially JPA (big change :D ).
    Anyway, the sample code would be:
    import java.sql.ResultSet;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.Collection;
    import java.util.Iterator;
    import java.util.Map;
    import org.apache.commons.beanutils.BeanUtils;
    import org.apache.commons.beanutils.PropertyUtils;
    public class DAO {
         public Collection getList(String className, String tableName, int encoding) {
              Object objDescriber = null;          
              ResultSet rs = null;
              Map map = null;
              Iterator properties = null;
              ArrayList<Object> returnValue = new ArrayList<Object>();
              try {
                   objDescriber = (Object)Class.forName(className).newInstance();
                   try {
                        map = BeanUtils.describe(objDescriber);
                        properties = map.keySet().iterator();
                        //Get ResultSet from Table
                        rs = getResultSet(tableName);
                        while (rs.next()) {
                             while (properties.hasNext()) {
                                  String name = (String) properties.next();
                                  String typeName = PropertyUtils.getPropertyType(objDescriber, name).getName();
                                  //Get value from current row and column name of ResultSet
                                  Object value = getValue(rs, name, encoding);
                                  try {
                                       Object obj = (Object)Class.forName(className).newInstance();
                                       PropertyUtils.setProperty(obj, typeName, value);
                                       returnValue.add(obj);
                                  catch (Exception ex) {
                   catch (Exception ex) {
              catch (Exception ex) {
              return returnValue;
    }

  • New to Editing and Have Some Important Questions

    Greetings All,
    I would consider myself a new editor - only because I feel I have so much to learn. Currently I edit for a local television show that broadcast on a cable network - I have been using makeshift solutions to get the job done - but would like to move into being a total professional.
    Currently I have - Final Cut Studio 2 (will be upgrading to the new release in approx. 2 weeks) - 8 Core Mac Pro (upgraded video card & and extra ram)
    - 23 inch Display (will purchase an additional 30" HD Display in approx. 2 weeks) -Mac Book Pro
    -Adobe After Effects
    I know that I need some sort of deck that can be used to put the tapes in and log and capture into final cut pro - (currently I rec. the footage on dvd and use MPEG to import the footage into Final Cut) - any recommendations on the type of deck I should get - something affordable that is universal that can be used with many types of tapes. Also I have been told that I may need a broadcast monitor - I've also been told that if I get the 30" HD display that I won't need a broadcast monitor- thoughts on this please? As a side not I have a 32 inch 720p flat screen Samsung television could this be used as a monitor? I've heard some discussion about Konika video capture card - after researching I'm still not sure I understand exactly what it's purpose is? Please help - is this something that I will need? What am I missing in my workflow? Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated - thanks

    only because I feel I have so much to learn<</div>
    Including where to post. This here's the LiveType forum.
    You don't need one deck, you need a deck specific to every kind of tape you have to use. You probably only need a DVCAM deck. If you need Beta you already know that. If you don't know that, you need to start with a basic video production class at a college or high school. That's not a service we provide here in these forums.
    The 30" Apple Cinema is way more screen than you need for FCP. Save your money and just get another 23".
    Konica does not make capture cards. You may be thinking of Kona, easily researched.
    You may or may not need a broadcast monitor. What you need is the firm knowledge and experience to make that decision on your own.
    My suggestion is to look up a video expert in your market area and prepare your management to pay them for their expertise as a consultant. Your post indicates you have way too much to learn. You can do it in books and in many hours of online research but you're going to spend more time and money doing that than you would simply by hiring someone to do the easy parts for you.

  • Updating N95 Firmware! Some important questions

    My N95 is currently running on V20.0.013. A major improvement in update were found in V20.0.015. Now a days the latest firmware is V21.0.016.
    Q1. If I update my N95 to 21.0.016, then would I get all the improved features of V20.0.015 as well or should I update my N95 step wise, i.e., first to 20.0.015 and then 21.0.016 to have all improvements. In V20.0.015, there were improvements in menu structure.
    Q2. I have pre-installed multi language dictionary on microSD card provided in the sale package. If I update my N95 to V21.0.016, would this dictionary still work or I have to re-install it again?
    Q3. Is there any problems which anyone encountered after updating N95 to V21.0.016? Any draw backs of this latest V21.0.016 software?
    I totally depend upon you technical guys, and always get satisfied with the nice cooperation of this forum members. I hope you'll guide me this time as well.
    Regards to all

    Hi erehman,
    Some answers to you here.
    A1. A new firmware will always wipe out everything in the phone memory. Absolutely no need to update first to 20.0.015. Go straight to 21.0.016.
    But the previous firmware to 20.0.15 was 13.0.003.
    A2. After an update of a firmware you need to reinstall everything. The memory card, though, is not affected and you do not even have to keep it in.
    A3. There may be some problems or odd functions, but all together the 21 firmware is better than the 20 firmware.

  • Some import questions

    hey all
    so i am trying out imovie 08.
    did a little video/export to FCxml file/ cannot import file into FCE but can drag it in, video had to be rendered.
    So-tried exporting from IM to QT/dvdvpro50/ imported into FCE and had to render both audio and video
    So-tried exporting from IM again to QT/only this time dvpro and imported to FCE and only the audio had to be rendered but the video was all screwed up, like half frames only showed up.
    then tried exporting as mp4 and that all had to be rendered.
    just wondering if anyone knows the correct export from IM08 that would work in FCE without any rendering?
    thx

    Hi j
    I don't think that there are any direct method. iMovie and FCE/P uses a very
    different kind of way (guess it's called codec - but it is at least stored differently).
    So I would go with Your first way and render both video and audio.
    alt. If You have iMovie 1 to 6 You might try to export back to Camera (miniDV-tape)
    and import this one then You don't need to render.
    If iMovie'08 - forget it - it can't export back to Camera or deliver live out
    via FireWire any more.

  • MEGA180 Important Questions

    I have my MEGA180 on order but I already have some important questions:
    1) This unit provides dual vga outputs. If I install my own AGP 8x card, will the VGA2 output still work? I read in the manual that installing an AGP card will disable VGA1 (default) but it doesn't say anything about the 2nd VGA output connector. I require 2 outputs since I will be connecting to an LCD and my HDTV monitor (using a VGA to Component Video Transcoder)
    2) Will there be performance hits by using the two vga outputs at the same time?
    3) The on-board video card doesn't have any video memory. It will use your existing DDR memory. I will have 512Meg Dual Channel Memory. What kind of performance I can expect from the built-in video card (NVidia NForce Crush18) compared to other AGP cards on the market?
    Thanks for your help!
    Sly

    Though I can not provide you with answers specific to the Mega 180, I can give you some more info.
    1) No. As soon as you install an AGP card, the onboard video will be fully disabled from within the BIOS. This is an nForce2 chipset setting. So make sure to get an AGP card with 2xVGA (as most cards have nowadays).
    2) No or not much. Using an nForce2 MoBo myself I haven't encountered performance loss using both VGA outputs.
    3) There's no way to compare the onboard video to an AGP card. AGP cards will have a far out better perfomance then the onboard video. But compared to other onboard video solutions around, like Xtreme Graphics, the nForce solution is far better and has far better performance.
    It all depends on what you will be doing with the MegaPC. If you're a gamer, get an AGP card. If you want to use it as an HTPC, keep with the onboard nForce2 solution. There's no need for extra here since the nForce2 chipset is great. Onboard sound from this chipset is also great. Try it out before spending $ on an AGP card you don't need.
    Hope this helped a bit.

    Remote Function Call:
    RFC is an SAP interface protocol. Based on CPI-C, it considerably simplifies the programming of communication processes between systems.
    RFCs enable you to call and execute predefined functions in a remote system - or even in the same system.
    RFCs manage the communication process, parameter transfer and error handling.

  • How to import questions into Captivate 4 from a delimited file

    I'm looking
    a way to import questions from a delimited text file (or excel spreadsheet)
    into captivate.
    All the questions are simple multiple choice, single answer, four selections per question.
    I have hundreds - I'd hate to have to retype them all in one at a time.
    Thanks in advance
    -Joan

    Does anyone know if this is a feature in Captivate 5. 
    Other things I would really like to see in Captivate 5.
    Importing and Exporting the graded quiz/test content out of captivate into another
    application/ form.  Such as xml, tab delimited, excel spreadsheet,
    Adobe pdf, Word document or another format.  Our current content
    developement systems allows us to (when publishing) do this.
    1> exclude questions from the Published content
         (exclude section questions, or final test content)
    2> produce different test versions from question banks
    3> Produce a PDF paper test for when we want to train in a classroom setting
    4> Select which questions we want to produce
    5> Import questions from a pre-defined format.  To note: when we do this the system also makes us define a unique interaction id so that the import will update existing questions.
    I know this will NOT work for some of the more sophisticated questions, But for the simple Mulitple choice, true/false, fill in the blank.  etc..
    THIS WOULD BE A GREAT FEATURE..
    It would also be NICE TO HAVE THE abiliy to PROFILE versions of the SAME Course WITH OUT REPRODUCING / DUPLICATING / REPEATING THE  ENTIRE COURSE PRESENTATION.
    Such as
    "INSTRUCTOR TAUGHT TRAINING"
    "WEB TRAINING"
    "PAPER TEST A"
    "PAPER TEST B"
    ETC...
    LASTLY: if we can not export the QUIZ content.  Can an excel spreadsheet LIKE INTERFACE be used to edit certain aspects of the questions.
    Such as the InteractionId which is sent to the LMS ('cmi.interactions.0.id').  My developer team says it is real difficult and time consuming
    to track down interactionIds and then maintain them in a perfect way.
    Thanks,

  • Some generic questions on BPM of NW CE

    Hi Gurus
      i have over 6 years of ABAP business workflow experience and over 3 years of XI experience. Now i'm getting tough with this new stuff, BPM of NW CE. Here i have some generic questions of it:
    1. How can i trigger a BPM task while a document, like a sales order , has been created in the system? is there any processes to catch the event of R3 in NWDI?
    2. Can BPM consume RFC/BAPIs in R3?
    3. Is it possible to make message mapping in BPM? i found there is a 'mapping' choice in the context setting of NWDI whereas it is quite simple compared with PI.
    4. Can the BPM be integrated with webdynpro ABAP? or send the relevant tasks into R3 directly? Actually what i mean is , can i bypass java programing while dealing with BPM of CE, if possible.
    thanks

    Hi Stephen,
    In the first released version of SAP NetWeaver BPM it is not possible to catch events of R/3 directly. Anyway. In case you have the possibility to trigger a web service in that situation you could start off a specific (BPM) process instance that handles the situation.
    The same is basically true for the question regarding RFC: In the initial version you'd need to wrap the RFC into a web service in order to consume it.
    The mapping possibilities in SAP NetWeaver BPM are meant to perform data flow between different activities in a BPMN based process model. This way you could transform a message that came into the process in that way that if fits your needs in regards to the BPM process (data) context.
    Bypassing Java when using SAP NetWeaver BPM would be difficult as the supported UI technology is Web Dynpro for Java. In addition the possibility to add more flexibility to your mappings by defining custom functions is based on EJB, thus again Java.
    Best regards,
    Martin

  • Some interview Question?

    hello all, as this forum has many brilliant minds, i have some interview question, if you mind please let me know the answer....
    q1. default level at which validation accurs?
    q2. in which case property pallet display **** as a property value, what its meaning?
    q3. best way to ensure that item can not accept query criteria?
    q4. what is the use of key-other trigger?
    q5. what is the use of forms module validation unit. if it is set to form then data block pre-text-item trigger at point will raise?
    i tried but did not find any relevant answer.

    Hi yash...
    q1. default level at which validation accurs?Well, the default level is where ur trigger exist ( Form Level ,Block Level or Item Level )
    q2. in which case property pallet display **** as a property value, what its meaning?Conceal ; it means hiding displaying data and it is almost used in password text item.
    q3. best way to ensure that item can not accept query criteria?Well, actually i don't have any forms now but u could try it urself item property > query criteria (any related query allowed property ) >NO
    q4. what is the use of key-other trigger?A Key-Others trigger fires when an operator presses the associated key.
    A Key-Others trigger is associated with all keys that can have key triggers associated with them but are not currently defined by function key triggers (at any level).
    A Key-Others trigger overrides the default behavior of a Runform function key (unless one of the restrictions apply). When this occurs, however, Oracle Forms still displays the function key's default entry in the Keys screen.
    Hope this helps...
    Good Luck :)
