Sorting the Records MDM JAVA

Hi,
I am using RetrieveRecordsByIdCommand to retrieve the records from MDM. I want to sort the records based on MDM ID. I tried with SortDefinition which will be passed to the ResultDefinition, but it is not working. Please tell me any other way to sort the records based on a particular field values.
Thanks,
Sreenivasulu Thimmanapalli.

Hi Sreenivasulu Thimmanapalli.
Also, please check if the field to sort is with Sort-Index set to Normal. In your case, it could be set to None currently
To confirm
--Go to MDM Console, Select the Table > Select the Field (that you are trying to sort-on).
--Look at Field Detail panel, the Sort Index properties should be set to Normal.

Problem in sorting the records

Hi All,
I have to sort some records based on a key. If the key field is optional then how to sort the records. For example consider the follwing records.
<row>
 <name>jaya</name>
 <address>hyd</address>
 <material>d</material>
 <units>4</units>
 <price>6</price>
</row>
<row>
 <address>ss</address>
 <material>wd</material>
 <units>7</units>
 <price>9</price>
 </row>
<row>
 <name>radha</name>
 <address>pune</address>
 <material>g</material>
 <units>9</units>
 <price>3</price>
</row>
Here name field is used as a key in sorting the records. in the second record name field does'nt exists. All the records that doesnt have the name field shud come on the top and the rest with name field shud come sorted.
Can anyone please helpout how to solve this problem??

Jhansi,
Did u solved the issue? The scenario is lil bit complicated, please consider my below suggestion, if you haven't achieved your results.
I must really thankful to Michal and all my SDN friends,who guided me to use the logic-using multiple Mapping program in one Interface mapping.
/people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/11/01/xi-xml-node-into-a-string-with-graphical-mapping
Ok, let us come to the logic.
For your problem we need to use two mapping programs.

I don't know whether this is the correct way or any other simplest way to do so. Also I request our friends to feedback their inpute regarding this logic.

Want to sort the records based on non-base table item

I have a multi-record block and I am trying to sort the data based on nbt item
I have a table called X which has x_type,x_code fields.
The table on which the block is created is Y. the table Y has x_type and y_desc as its fields
form layout is like below .the x_type is key field on which I have to query the records
and x_code is a non-base item in the form.I want to sort the records by X_code.
x_code y_desc
A     xyz
c par
B     lmn
my pre-query has this code
select x_type from y
where
x_type := x_type;
post-query has this code
select x_code from x
where x_type = :x_type;
It works fine in Enter-Queryand execute query mode. but when I am sorting the records on
nbt item x_code by SET-BLOCK-PROPERTY it doesn't do any thing

Hi Tony ,
I have created a function and in Pre-Query & have add this
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('b1', ORDER_BY, 'fn_get_code(x_type)');
and the function created is as below
Function fn_get_code (p_x_type in varchar2) return varchar2 is
v_code varchar2(40);
begin
select x_code into v_code
from X, Y
where X.x_type = Y.x_type
and y.x_type = p_x_type
return v_code;
end;
when I run the form and execute query it comes up with the error message
FRM-40505 and when I pressed display error it shows
SQL Statement error:
SELECT ROWID,X_TYPE,X_CODE
FROM Y order by fn_get_code(x_type)
Error:
"ORA-00904: "FN_GET_code": invalid identifier"
Is it that I need to create a function on the database?. As I have created function
in program unit section

Need Sorter java file for sorting the records in webdynpro java

Hi Gurus
 I had urgent requirement please give your inputs
 In my webdynpro java i need to sort entire records in table
 I now we need One sorter java class please provide that java file
 please suggest the all the steps how to do
Thanks
renu.

1. Implement class comparator wich will compare records according your sort preferencies,
like this:
 public class record_Comparator implements Comparator{
 public int compare(Object emp1, Object emp2){
 // here is your code for return -1if 'before' or 0 if equal or 1if 'after'
 int stepId_1 = ((record)emp1).get_someValue();
 int stepId_2 = ((record)emp2).get_someValue();
 if(stepId_1 > stepId_2)
 return 1;
 else if(stepId_1 < stepId_2)
 return -1;
 else
 return 0;
than call method sort() with your collection of records,
like this:
Collections.sort(record_collection, new record_Comparator());

Unable to sort the records of a table

Hi Experts,
I have populated one z table with records. The table coloumns are as below:
Mandt
Pernr
Personnel Area
Total Points
Rank
I have to sort the table records in descending order of Total Points. In many cases there will be same total points for many records. In such cases we have to arrange records in following fashion:
If more than 1 person have same total points then person having more years of service will have higher rank
If more than 1 person have same total points and same years of service then older people (date of birth) will have higher rank.
I have written following program. It is not working. Please help me. If you have some ready made code, please share with me.

Gary,
Firstly, to make things easier, I suggest you add service and age columns to your internal table.
Mandt
Pernr
Personnel Area
Total Points
Service
Age
Rank
Does your internal table itab_prio contain large number of rows? Is the code that determines service and age performance intensive? If the answer is 'NO', then I suggest you populate service and age for every row and sort. This will make the logic simple and easy to maintain.
If you must query service and age only when there is a conflict, then following logic should help.
- itab_prio_copy[] = itab_prio[].
- Loop at itab_prio.
-   l_next_row = sy-tabix + 1.
-   read table itab_prio_copy index l_next_row.
-   are points same?
-     get service for both the employees.
-     is the service same for both?
-       get age for both.
-    rank accordingly
- endloop.
I know I have skipped a lot of gotcha points. For example, how to handle the last row, how to update the rank to the next row, etc. I am sure you can figure that out.
Good luck.

DECODE function to validate date value and sort the records

Hi Friends,
I am looking for some query which can give me the required output,
I need to do this using SQL query only and I have tried using the MIN() and MAX() functions it was working fine with limited data, now after inserting the last record(in the below table) which has date for start_range and end_range in(mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss) format.
Because the data type is VARCHAR2 if I am using the MIN() function it is sorting as a string value, hence the min date is incorrect. I tried using validating the value to date or non date and tried to using MIN() and MAX() functions using the DECODE function, I am getting this error "ORA-01840: input value not long enough for date format".
select table_name,
DECODE(substr(START_RANGE,3,1)||substr(START_RANGE,6,1)||substr(START_RANGE,11,1)||substr(START_RANGE,14,1)||substr(START_RANGE,17,1),'// ::',
to_char(min(to_date(start_range,'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss')),'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),min(start_range)) MIN_RUNS_START_RANGE,
DECODE(substr(END_RANGE,3,1)||substr(A.END_RANGE,6,1)||substr(END_RANGE,11,1)||substr(END_RANGE,14,1)||substr(END_RANGE,17,1),'// ::',
to_char(max(to_date(END_RANGE,'mm/dd/yyyy hh24:mi:ss')),'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),max(END_RANGE)) MAX_RUNS_END_RANGE
from MY_TABLE
GROUP BY table_name,
(substr(START_RANGE,3,1)||substr(START_RANGE,6,1)||substr(START_RANGE,11,1)||substr(START_RANGE,14,1)||substr(START_RANGE,17,1)),
(substr(END_RANGE,3,1)||substr(END_RANGE,6,1)||substr(END_RANGE,11,1)||substr(END_RANGE,14,1)||substr(END_RANGE,17,1))
Can sombody please advise what is the best way I can query this data with the required output.
The following are the source table and records and the out put records using the sql query.
MY_TABLE
TABLE_NAME(VARCHAR2),START_RANGE(VARCHAR2),END_RANGE(VARCHAR2)
TABLE1,1000,10000
TABLE2,ABCD,EEEE
TABLE3,01/12/2010 00:00:00,12/31/2010 23:59:59
TABLE1,10001,20000
TABLE2,EEEF,GGGG
TABLE3,01/01/2011 00:00:00,01/31/2011 23:59:59
OUTPUT :
TABLE_NAME,MIN(START_RANGE),MAX(END_RANGE)
TABLE1,1000,20000
TABLE2,ABCD,GGGG
TABLE3,01/12/2010 00:00:00,01/31/2011 23:59:59
Thanks
Kalycs

i also think this is a very bad table design ...
but if you are not able to change it, you could split the select (date and non-date data) and combine the result with UNION like this:
with t as
SELECT 'TABLE1' table_name,'1000' start_range,'10000' end_range FROM dual UNION
SELECT 'TABLE2','ABCD','EEEE' FROM dual UNION
SELECT 'TABLE3','01/12/2010 00:00:00','12/31/2010 23:59:59' FROM dual UNION
SELECT 'TABLE1','10001','20000' FROM dual UNION
SELECT 'TABLE2','EEEF','GGGG' FROM dual UNION
SELECT 'TABLE3','01/01/2011 00:00:00','01/31/2011 23:59:59' FROM dual
SELECT table_name,
       TO_CHAR(MIN(TO_DATE(start_range, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')), 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS'),
       TO_CHAR(MAX(TO_DATE(end_range, 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')), 'MM/DD/YYYY HH24:MI:SS')
FROM t
WHERE start_range LIKE '%/%/%:%:%'
GROUP BY table_name
UNION
SELECT table_name,
       MIN(start_range),
       MAX(end_range)
FROM t
WHERE start_range NOT LIKE '%/%/%:%:%'
GROUP BY
    table_name;
TABLE_ MIN_VALUE           MAX_VALUE
TABLE1 1000                20000
TABLE2 ABCD                GGGG
TABLE3 01/12/2010 00:00:00 01/31/2011 23:59:59

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.

How to sort the new records when you input them in a Forms bloc?

Hi,
I have a multi-record data block, how can I do to sort the records in this block when you enter some new records? for instance, you have a table(emp), 3 coloumns(empid, empname, deptno). when you enter new records, how can you do to make records order by deptno? not in quiry status.
Thanks. Please help me!

I think Steve has answered your question and I doubt that what Frank is suggesting is what you are actually trying to do.
However,
from the top of my head I don't know if you can set the order by clause on a datablock dynamically <<-Yes you can set it with set_block_property. You don't really want to put it in the where clause because if the user enters query criteria in database fields, they will get appended after the order by and the query will fail.

Sorting the table records based on date (stored as string in the database)

Iam storing the date as string(varchar2) in the database.
Date format: DD-MMM-YYYY hh:mm:ss am/pm
example: 12-MAY-1984 11:12:45 AM
now i have to sort the records in such a way that recent records should be displayed first, then past records.
i need help reagrding

Step one: Select from the table
Step two: Convert the string to a date
Step three. Order on this converted date descending (= recenct records first)

DB poller to poll the record by ordering the available records from the table

We are using DB Adapter poller to poll 50 records from table order by one column "EEVNT_ID".
The expected action is to sort the records in ascending order based on EVENT_ID from the table and then to return the first 50 records.
But the actual behavior noticed is, 50 records being picked randomly and then these records are being sorted in ascending order.
We identified this using the DB AWR report. Is there any way within the adapter to prioritize the execution in a way that it will sort the records first and then poll the first 50 records?
Any suggestions at the earliest would be much appreciated.
Many Thanks.

Sorting ODS records before posting to other ODS

Gurus, we have a strange issue where we have one ODS (lets call it DELV) that feeds another ODS (TOTSALS). We have records in the DELV ODS like this:
K-DelDoc   K-Item    Mat    SchdLn   GMSt   Qty
10000      900001    MATX   1        C      10
10000      900002    MATX   1        C      15
10000      900003    MATX   1        A      0
10000      900004    MATX   2        A      0
In our TOTSALS ODS we get:
K-DelDoc   K-SchdLn    GMSt    Qty
10000      1           A       25
10000      2           A       0
Note: K- denotes key field
The problem is for SchdLn 1, we want the GMSt=C (not A). We cannot filter to omit 'A' records from posting to the TOTSALS ODS, otherwise we would lose visibility to SchdLn 2.
My question, can we sort the records in the update rules of DELV to TOTSALS? Or can we change the update rule for mapping GMSt so that in this scenario, we get the value of C?
I would appreciate the feedback and will award points.

Why dont we try this way... (assuming that you have only two values for GMSt)
Follow the same procedure as mentioned above (creating two ODS's ODS1 and ODS2, loading one value of GMSt (lets say A) into ODS1 and the other value into ODS2 (GMSt = C). Now from these two ODS's load into your target ODS which is TOTSALS. When loading into TOTSALS ODS, set the keyfigures to addition mode in the update rules.
This gives you the flexibility to decide the order of loading. For example if you want the value of GMSt = A to be overwritten by value of C, then load TOTSALS from ODS1 first and then ODS2.
Hope this helps.
FYI, if you want to achieve this with just one ODS (TOTSALS) instead of three ODS's...it is possible to do so but is a little more complex (two cases in start routine).
Good luck!

MDM API to read the Record Key Mapping table

Hi,
Does anybody know what class/method I can use to read the Record Key Mapping table?
For the Business Partner table the Key Mapping table has this columns:
Default / MDM Partner ID / Remote System / Key
I have everything but the Key. How can I read it?
Thanks in advance,
Diego.

GetKey Mapping is one of the available Web Services as of SP4.
Else you could use the Java API to get the Key Mapping.
CatalogData class has the following method
GetKeyMapping
public java.lang.String[][] GetKeyMapping(java.lang.String agency,
 java.lang.String table,
 int[] recordIDs,
 boolean isDefaultKeyOnly)
 throws StringExceptionRetrieves the key mapping for each record.
Parameters:
agency - the agency name.
table - the table name.
recordIDs - the list of records.
isDefaultKeyOnly - True to retrieve only the default value, False to all key values.
Returns: the key values for each record.

MDM Table EVENT(EPCF) to get the record ids

Hi Experts,
I have a requirement where I need to trigger an EPCF event from MDM standard result set iview and need to capture the recordids of all the record present in the table in my customised webdynpro application.I have to later read them to an excel sheet.(the code for which i already have)
I am trying table type EPCF eventing for that and later passing [Search] as parameter but i am not able to get this search object and it seems to be a futile approach.
Please anyone of you can tell me the method to retrieve all records from resultset Iview to my dynpro application.
Thanks
Vinay

Hi Vinay,
You are correct in that you cannot pass a list of ID's from the Result Set iView. This is by design and the reasoning behind it is that there could be thousands or even hundreds of thousands of records in a Result Set, and this would make passing them in a JavaScript function or URL unrealistic.
However, since the ResultSet is always the result of a search, you can pass the "search" to your custom application and recreate the result set there. The only caveat is as follows:
Prior to MDM 5.5 SP6 P2, the iViews were based on the MDM4J API. So if your version of MDM is pre-SP6 Patch 2, you must use the function Search.setArchive() of MDM4J.
From MDM 5.5 SP6 Patch 2, the iViews are based on the MDM Java API, and so you should use the function Search.deserialize() of MDM Java API.

Iterate through all the records in a table using Java API

Hi All,
What is the easiest way to iterate through all the records in a given table using Java API? I cannot find any methods that will return all records in a table and the only way I can use is to perform a free form search with a condition that is always true. The code works but is pretty ugly. Is there an alternative to this approach?
Thanks!
Kenny

Hi Kenny,
You can construct a new Search object with your table's code name, a new ResultSetDefinition object for your table and just execute this search using the GetResultSet method of CatalogData.
Please look at the following code:
Search search = new Search(<code name of your table>);
ResultSetDefinition rsd = new ResultSetDefinition(<code name of your table>);
rsd.AddField<code name of a field>);
rsd.AddField(<code name of a field>);
String sortField = <code name of your sort field>;
boolean sortAscending = true;
int page = 0; //page number
A2iResultSet rs = <your CatalogData object>.GetResultSet(search, rsd, sortField, sortAscending, page);
for (int i = 0; i < rs.GetRecordCount(); i++)
Value fieldValue = rs.GetValueAt(i, <code name of a field>);
Hope this helps,
Nir
PS - I really recommend you to start using the new API, as it is much more efficient and straight-forward.
