Sorting Of Data In Data Manager

Hi,
I am Importing some records into the Data Manager and when i see the records in the Data Manager it is sorted alphabetically .
But when the same data is viewed in the portal the last imported entries are displayed in the end, is there some way to import the data into the data manager in a particular position.

Hi Vag,
But when the same data is viewed in the portal the last imported entries are displayed in the end, is there some way to import the data into the data manager in a particular position.
I would like to share it does not make any difference, sorting is just to find records quickly (in some order), it does not have any business impact if you are not getting records in MDM (in particular position) as it is getting viewed in the portal.
But still if you want to manage latest record created in MDM in last (in this particular position), just check it out, do you have fields of Type Create Stamp or Time stamp in your repository, if so set the property for these fields as sort Index = Normal which result in sorting records based on date and thus can bring latest records created in end.

Sort all the Records in Data manager based on Update Date

How to sort the reocrds in Data Manager based on Date or something ?
And also I have three records for a same customer in ( for three different company codes ) and when I search for this customer with the Customer number then it is showing three records , but when I search with Update Date then no records are fetched ...what is the reason ?

If you make a field as type "Time Stamp" in your data model using the MDM Console, make sure that the option Sort Index is set to Normal. If this is the case, whenever a record is updated in the repository, the date will be updated. If the sort index is normal, then MDM will allow you to sort the records based on the date and time by which they were updated. You can do this by finding your time stamp field in the MDM data manager and clicking on it. If there is an up and down arrow next to the name of your field, it means it can be sorted. Also, to answer your other question, you can definitely search based on date. Use the Free-Form Search on the left hand side of the data manager at the bottom of the screen. Simply select a date, and it will show you all the records updated on that date.

Project Manager sorting by date instead of alphabetically

I just upgraded from RH7 to RH8 and my topics in the Project Manager are now sorted by date last updated instead of alphabetically. I've been poking around and doing searches but not finding how to change the sort order in the Project Manager.
Any ideas?

Hi there
Have you tried clicking the sort icon?
Cheers... Rick

Sorting Portlet Data retrieved from BEA Content Management

We have several portlets which get their data from the local bea content managemrnt repository. I want to know how can we sort the data(ascending and descending) by different columns ?
e.g. a portlet has documents with columsn like title, date, size etc and we want to sort these documents by these columns in an ascending and descending manner.
Thanks

BPC 7.5 NW -- Data Manager Import Fails When Loading 40,000 Records?

Hi Experts,
Can't believe I'm posting this because the Data Manager component has always been one of the best parts of BPC. But, since we got SP04 applied last week, every IMPORT process that I've run that has more than 40,000 records fails out.
The result logs show that the CONVERT task completes just fine, but it doesn't really show the LOAD task. ...Not exactly sure what's going on here. So far I've also taken the following two steps to try for resolution:
(1.) Re-added the IMPORT package in Organize Package List from the Library to have a "fresh" version. Didn't help.
(2.) In the "Modify Package" screens, there is a PACKAGESIZE parameter that is 40,0000 by default... I've been able to locate that in BI using transaction RSA1 and have changed it to 10,000,000. Saved it. Tried it. Didn't help either
Has anyone seen this kind of behavior before?
Thanks,
Garrett

Update -- This problem may now be resolved.
I have been able to conduct test IMPORTs of 48,000, then 96,000 and then 1.7 million records. All were fine.
It turns out that that difference is that the text files were sorted by amount in the ones that failed. They were sorted by GLAccount in column A for the ones that succeeded.
Edit: Yep, all files loaded normally when re-sorted by GLACCOUNT, etc. on the left-hand side. Apparently, when you're doing a lot of records that might confuse the system or something

BPC 7.5 NW -- Data Manager Export: Fixed-Length Fields?

Hi Experts,
Client has a requirement that we export a batch of transaction data from BPC, which is generally no problem, but in this case they want to do it with Fixed-Length fields in the Export file.
I've done a lot of BPC Data Manager Imports with Fixed-Length fields, and that function really works well. But, has anyone tried to use the Export package with this option? It doesn't seem to be working in my case yet.
Any tips?
Thanks so much, as always,
Garrett
=======================
Update -- After going back to review documentation, it looks like the the *PAD() function is actually intended for export not really importing, which makes sense. ...The SAP online help library says that it's meant for import, but I now believe that is a typo.
Also, I've added the line "OUTPUTFORMAT = NORMAL" in my *OPTIONS section. Anyone else manage to get export working on BPC 7.5 NW

Search for [Remote Key] and [Remote System] in Data Manager

Hello all
I would like to be able to search on the remote key and the remote system in the MDM Data Manager is that not possible? I thought I remembered seeing that possibility under the Free-Form Search but now I can't find it.
I have, however, found this in the Data Manager reference guide:
REMOTE SYSTEM AND REMOTE KEY FIELDS
MDM uses the remote systems defined in the Remote Systems table
within the MDM Console to store and maintain key mapping information
for each record or text attribute. It does this using a virtual key
mapping field that you never see in the MDM Client.
This virtual key mapping field is very much like a qualified lookup field
into a virtual key mapping qualified lookup table.
Key Mapping information stored in virtual lookup field
The Remote System and Remote Key fields are normally not visible;
however, they do appear in several places in the MDM Client.
Specifically, both fields: (1) appear in the File > Export dialogs in Record
mode for exporting value pairs; (2) are recognized by the File > Import
dialog in Record mode for importing value pairs; and (3) appear in the
Edit Key Mappings dialogs in both Record mode and Taxonomy mode,
for viewing and editing value pairs.
Is there any way to search on the value in the remote key from the Data Manager?

Not sure search i think not possible.
But you can see keys as mentioned:
Enable Key mapping in Console.
MDM Client maens MDM Data Manager.
They do appear in several places in the MDM Client or Data Manager. Three different methods to see in DM are given already below:
Specifically, both fields: (1) appear in the File > Export dialogs in Record mode for exporting value pairs; (2) are recognized by the File > Import dialog in Record mode for importing value pairs; and (3) appear in the Edit Key Mappings dialogs in both Record mode and Taxonomy mode, for viewing and editing value pairs.

Error while opening MDM Data Manager

Hi,
We are getting the following error while trying to open Data manager on our repository.
"Error Initializing Attributes for table Taxonomy
Application will exit
Already exists"
mds Version 5.5.42.90
MDM DataManager Ver5.5.42.90
The repository loads without any errors. The server log file too doesnt show any errors.
Is there anyway to fix this?

Go to your MDM console, Login to repository and Unload repository first.
Then load with Update Indices.
This problem comes when you change anything in schema in console and then load repository with immediate option.
So always prefer to use update indices as accelator files will get updated and data comes from actual database.
If the problem still persists then Go again to console and check your repository for any fatal error. if errors come then repair repository and if not come then also repair.
Then load with update indices.
Hope it will help you.
BR,
Alok

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.

Can't sort by date created in Bridge

I have raw files from two photographers that covered the same event. When I combined them in a folder in Bridge and apply view >sort>by date created, the images are only arranged in chronological order within each photographer's photos and not as a whole. How can I get both groups of photos to sort together by date created?

It should work as you expected, that is if both have correct time settings
in their dSLR set.
First try the purge cache for folder option, while pointing Bridge at the
problem folder go to the menu tools/cache/purge cache for folder and let the
cache build again for the files in this folder before you give it a try.

Unable to access the data from Data Management Gateway: Query timeout expired

Hi,
Since 2-3 days the data refresh is failing on our PowerBI site. I checked below:
1. The gateway is in running status.
2. Data source is also in ready status and test connection worked fine too.
3. Below is the error in System Health -
Failed to refresh the data source. An internal service error has occurred. Retry the operation at a later time. If the problem persists, contact Microsoft support for further assistance.
Error code: 4025
4. Below is the error in Event Viewer.

5. This is the correlational id for latest refresh failure
is
f9030dd8-af4c-4225-8674-50ce85a770d0
6.
Refresh History error is –
Errors in the high-level relational engine. The following exception occurred while the managed IDataReader interface was being used: The operation has timed out. Errors in the high-level relational engine. The following exception occurred while the
managed IDataReader interface was being used: Query timeout expired.
Any idea what could have went wrong suddenly, everything was working fine from last 1 month.
Thanks,

Never mind, figured out there was a lock on SQL table which caused all the problems. Once I released the lock it PowerPivot refresh started working fine.
Thanks.

Unable to refresh SQL Server data source through Data Management Gateway

I just installed the version 1.1.5226.8 of Data Management Gateway and tried to refresh a simple query on a table connected to SQL Server, with no transformations in Power Query.
This is the error I obtain:
Errors in the high-level relational engine. The following exception occurred while the managed IDataReader interface was being used: transfer service job status is invalid.
I am wondering whether my Power BI is still not updated to handle such a connection type, or there could be something else not working?
I correctly created the data source in admin panel following instructions in Release Notes, and
test Power Query connection is ok.
Marco Russo http://www.sqlbi.com http://www.powerpivotworkshop.com http://sqlblog.com/blogs/marco_russo

I made other tests and I found important information (maybe there is a bug, but read the following).
The functions DateTime.LocalNow and DateTime.FixedLocalNow
work correctly, generating these statements to SQL Server:
    convert(datetime2, '2014-05-03 06:37:52.1135108') as [LocalNow],
    convert(datetime2, '2014-05-03 06:37:52.0525061') as [FixedLocalNow],
The functions DateTimeZone.FixedLocalNow, DateTimeZone.FixedUtcNow,
DateTimeZone.LocalNow, and DateTimeZone.UtcNow
stop the scheduled refresh with the error I mentioned
in my previous messages, generating these statements to SQL Server:
    '2014-05-03 06:37:52.0525061+02:00' as [TZFixedLocalNow],
    '2014-05-03 04:37:52.0525061+00:00' as [TZFixedUtcNow],
    '2014-05-03 06:37:52.1135108+02:00' as [TZLocalNow],
    '2014-05-03 04:37:52.1135108+00:00' as [TZUtcNow]
I solved the issue by placing the DateTimeZone calls after a Table.Buffer call, so query folding does not translate in SQL these functions. However, it seems like something to fix.

Change of sign when running the data management package

Hi All,
I have written a script logic for copying my Budget member under category dimension to say another member say "XYZ" under category dimension and this is for my Member Sales under ACcount dimension having acctype as inc.
When i run the logic thru default i am getting the correct value. however if i run the same thru data manager package- my sign changes.
Eg. 100000 is copied as -100000 and -50000 is copied as 50000.
Please help me out
Regards
Navin

Hi Navin,
CREDITPOSITIVE= YES | NO
Default: YES
If No, all amounts referring to an ACCOUNT type (LEQ, INC) will have their signs reversed.
Since you are referring to the member account sales as INC the default logic considers the sign as reversed.
Please look at this link which helps you to understand
Significance of Account Type EXP,LEQ,INC,AST in BPC- Need some valid reason
Hope this helps.

Power Query/Data Management Gateway data refresh not working

Pretty new to o365/Power BI, but here's what I've got going on (hopefully someone can help me out):
I created a data management gateway and data source. The data source says it's online in the PowerBI admin center, and it seems to be working correctly. I can open Excel 2013 on my desktop (logging in as my trial o365 account which has Power
BI associated with it) and connect to the data source via Power Query using the oData option. I make sure to import the data into the model, and then open up the PowerPivot window and create a simple pivot table using the data in the model.
that all works just great. The problem comes when I upload the workbook and try to update it. I've tried a few different ways.
1. When I try to manually refresh the workbook by opening it in my o365 site and going to data-->refresh I get the following error:
      An error occurred while working on the Data Model in the workbook. Please try again.
      We were unable to refresh one or more data connections in this workbook.
      The following connections failed to refresh:
      Connection: Power Query - dbo_DimProductCategory
      Error: Out of line object 'DataSource', referring to ID(s) 'a75593f3-c34d-4f83-9458-49aa2cece164', has been specified but has not been used.
      The following system error occurred: Class not registered
      The provider 'Microsoft.Mashup.OleDb.1' is not registered.
      Power Query - dbo_DimProductCategory
2. When I go into Power BI and go to "Schedule Data Refresh" for the workbook, I get the following error:
      Sorry, the data connections in this report arenâ€™t supported for Scheduled Refresh.
      Technical Details â–¼
      Correlation ID: B3CE4B10-2137-E593-6FCF-189B73465190
      Date and Time: 03/31/2014 06:20:39 PM (UTC)
Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need additional information, I'd be happy to provide it.

Hey Guy,
Thanks for the reply.
The "data source type" of the data source in Power BI is "SQL Server" (there was only that and Oracle available to select from)
The "data source type" that Power Query is using in Excel is "From oData Feed"....which is using the Power BI data source....which is using the data management gateway.
A few follow up questions if you have a second
1. Do you know when PowerQuery data refresh will be supported? (just a general idea....weeks, months, next year?)
2. Is there any other way to connect to (and be able to refresh) PowerBI data sources referencing "on prem" data via the data management gateway? I tried using the oData feed URL in non-PowerQuery areas of excel (excel data tab, PowerPivot directly)
but it didn't work. If there's some other way to connect to and refresh on prem data, i'm all ears :D
Really appreciate your help, thanks for taking the time.
