SRM-MDM - loading hyperlink field in import manager

Hi forum members,
I am having trouble loading the hyperlinks in for SRM-MDM in import manager.
What fields / values do I need to map to load this please?
I have mapped the hyperlink source field to the hyperlink destination field, but get an error during import executing saying there is an creating lookup table entry.
Is anyone able to provide step-by-step details of which mappings are needed?
Thanks very much,
Nick

Hi Nicholas,
the non-qualifier for the hyperlinks table is the type. Therefore you need to also map this field. Please check note 1077701 (under 11.) on how to use the types.
Let us know whether that helped.
Best regards

SRM-MDM catalog custom field

HI,
We are loading external supplier item in out SRM-MDM 3.0 catalog. Soem of the Items have additonal field which desbite the item in more detail (like length, color and so on). During the import we can easy add the field as attribute and see in the datamanager.
But whats about the SRM-UI. Is there a way to get the attribute field in the UI or do I really have to extend the repository ?
Regards,
Bernd

Hi,
As mentioned by Mark, you can easily make attributes available on SRM-MDM Search UI by configuring the UI applications.
I would like to add to Mark's statement that you should have Role "UI configuration manager" assigned in MDM to configure the UI interface.
Also, link for UI interface will be as follows: http://<Java WEB AS>:<Java Port>/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM
Open this link in a browser, connect to MDM server and catalog repository using user which has "UI configuration manager" role assigned in MDM. for example, Master, and complete the UI configurations.
Revert if any questions.
Best Regards,
Shiv

Set Key Field in Import Manager

Hi All,
I have 2 fields in my source file(name,category) .category(look up Field) is the key field and name(display Field) is the matching field.
I got file like this......
Name                  category
1                           A
1                           B
1                           C
While importing i got an error stating that Import failed. The destination record was referred to by multiple source records. Duplicate source records should be merged before importing them.
Import action: Update (All Mapped Fields)Source record no: 1
But in this case my key field is Category based on category then these 3 records will be 3 different records.
Please let me know the use of Set Key field in the Import Manager and how it works?

Hi,
It's not about set of key field in MDM Import Manager but the reason is that you can not select more than 1 category(Lookup Taxonomy) in maintable for one record. thats why error is coming because for this Property Multi-valued always No.
Even, you can try this in Data Manager manually create three Category A, B and C in taxonomy mode on selecting Sub table Categories, then on selecting main table, when you select category field(which is lookup to categories table)for a particular record you could able to select only one category A, B or C.
i would suggest make a Attribute of type text having three values A, B and C and mark this as Multi-Valued in Attribute Detail and link this Attribute with your category. in this way you can attach three values A, B and C with your Record.
Other thing you can do,make this category field as (Lookup Hierarchy not lookup taxonomy) in main table to Subtable(Hierarchy) then for this field in main table you can set Property Multi-valued = Yes in MDM console and then after Import using MDM Import Manager finally only one record will get created in Data Manager as:
Name Category
1         A;B;C
Hope it will Help you,

Import Manager - Problem with 0..n field in Import Manager

Iu2019m having problems with XMLs that contain multiple or single tags in MDIS process. For example: I did the map using a XML with multiple tags for Address:
<address>
<item>
u2026
</item>
<item>
u2026
</item>
</address>
When I send two address or more Address, the Import Server work fine, but when I send only one Address, the address is not imported.
<address>
<item>
</item>
<item>
</item>
</address>
Opening the xml file with only one Address in Import Manager, I saw that the fields isnu2019t mapped, but when I open a xml file with multiple Address itu2019s open correctly.
The XSD cardinality for the Address\Item is 0..n

Hi Evandro ,
If it is processing the input file correctly through the Manul Import manager process then update your latest Map by using SAVE As option or else save this correct map with a new name altogether and use this new map in the port for automatic importing.
If your file is able to process correctly through the Import manager without showing any errors till the Import step in the Import manager then this map must be correct and shoul automate the importing correctly.
Provided you are using the similar file for automatic importing as well.The file name and the fields as well as the value mapping as saved in this corrected map must not differ with the input file else this saved map will not be able to import correctly.
Check to see if you have made correct setting for automatic importing by refering the below link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm550/helpdata/en/43/12036df94c3e92e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm (Automatic importing MDIS - Import manager ref guide>MDM import server(MDIS)>MDIS Consfiguration)

Also check the exception folders if your import is not taking place automatically:

Combining two source fields in Import Manager

Hi,
I am trying to combine two source fields say fld1 with 5 digit and Fld2 with 3 digit so that combined fld3 of 8 digit can be mapped to a 8 digit field in destination MDM side.
Any suggestion how to do this is highly appreciated
Thanks,
-reo

Hi Reo,
I am just adding details to how to combine fields in the import manager.
To combine two or more existing partitions for a destination node steps are as follows:
1. In the appropriate source hierarchy tree, select the node whose partitions you want to combine.
2. click on the Partition Field/Value tab to make it the active tab.
3. In the appropriate Partition list, select the two or more partition items you want to combine into a single partition.
4. Click on the Combine button, or right-click on one of the items and choose Combine Partitions from the context menu.
5. MDM combines the selected partition items.
6. Now you can map this partition directly to the destination field.
But as ur requirement seems ,u do not need to set delimiter.
Hope it will help you and let me know the results. please remark .
Thanks,

Map Auto ID field in import manager

Hello all
I need to make a quick fix to the data in our repository. A field needs to be updated based on a small formula. To do so I have syndicated the information and imported it to and SQL database where calculated the result. I exported it to a text file.
Now I need to create a map to update the field. However the only common ID is the auto ID field I have set up. I can't map the source to the destination - the map button is grayed out when I select the auto ID field.
Is it not possible to map it or is it because the auto ID field is numeric and my import is text.
BR
/Alexander

Hi Alexander,
It is true that the Auto Id field cannot be imported or syndicated.But as you said you have used only the auto id field as the Primary matching fiel dand you need the Auto id information only so as to import then a workaround i would suggest
- Create a new field in your repository in console say(Auto id1)
- Make this field as calculated field
- In the calculation expression just selct the auto id field from the dropdown
- This will populate the autoid field1 with the values same as the auto id field
- And then try mapping it to this newly craeted field while importing.
- This is just a workaround i am not sure whether it will address your problem directly
Hope It Helped,
Thanks & Regards

SRM MDM - Multiple hyperlinks import into qualified table

Hi,
I need to create an import map where I can import two hyperlinks (URL2 and URL3) into the Hyperlink qualified table.
How can I achieve this?
I have an XML schema where the two hyperlinks are given in separate tags:
<URL2>http://www.test.net/xxxx</URL2>
<URL3>http://www.test.net/yyyy</URL3>
Can anyone provide me with a HOW-TO for how to map these two tags into the qualified table Hyperlink.
Maybe I should create two sections in the XML?
<URL2>
<MIME Type>URL</MIME Type>
<URL>http://www.test.net/xxxx</URL>
<URL Description>TEST URL</URL Description>
</URL2>
<URL3></URL3>
KR,
Thomas

Thank you very much. This worked fine.
Now I have another problem someone might be able to help me with.
The sending system does not wish to send a repeating XML tag with the two hyperlinks. It causes restrictions in the data amount that can be sent.
We see two possible solutions
1.
Building the hyperlinks in MDM, like a calculation.
<URL2>http://www.test.net/xxxx</URL2>
<URL3>http://www.test.net/yyyy</URL3>
xxxx and yyyy are values in fields we have in the MDM structure. Everything before this in the hyperlink is always the same.
Is it possible to create the hyperlinks based on the value of xxxx and yyyy? If yes, how could we manage this, also filling the fileds: URL Description, Hyperlink Type and MIME Type with correct information?
2.
PI can create the URLs during integration.
Which of these two should we use?
KR,
Thomas

Combine fields in Import manager

Dear all,
I want to import two related fields to one field in the destinatation. This is linked to a look up table with a combined key.
Now I can combine the two input fields and map it to the destination field (two display fileds).
However the field mapping can not be done by automap, only manual mapping.
Does anyone know how to get an automap?
thanks in advance

However the field mapping can not be done by automap, only manual mapping.
In the lookup table suppose we have field1 and field2 as the display fields then for the table define field1+field2 as the unique key in console. Next for the lookup table also enable remote key in console.
Now while importing clone the field1 and field2 and partition field1 using field2 with a delimiter as ;
Next map the combined field as you have already done and also map the partitioned field to the remote key(field1+field2)
Automap will work now..

SRM, MDM, ECC integration for central contract management.

Hi there,
I am questioned by a client with respect to the possibility of the following scenario -
1. There are several SAP back end systems in place.
2. SRM 7.0 will be implemented as single sourcing system.
3. The SAP back end systems carry different material master codes for the same material and this will remain the same and no cleaning effort to have a unique code across all systems is going to be done.
4. If we use MDM in the mix - will it be possible for the SRM system to act as a central contracting solution and create a central contract with the unique material code in MDM.
5. On distribution of this contract across to individual SAP back end system the back end should map the MDM code to correct material code in that respective system.
Any insights with respect to if this is possible with some enhancements or not at all possible will be highly appreciated.

How to add hyperlinks in Import Manager

Dear MDM-gurus!
I really tried hard to find the solution, but couldn't find it here or in OSS.
We already have a repository with more than 50.000 items.
What I'd like to do is to add hyperlinks to PDF-files in the internet to each item.
For this we got an excel-file from the supplier with the supplier part number in one column, the PDF-link in another column and the .
In Data Manager I was able to add links manually or also with importing entries of the excel-file. Importing from excel takes a LOT of time. I don' t know why:
- Fields to import: Hyperlinks
- Key fields: Supplier part number.
--> Action: Update all single matches.
How can I import hyperlinks in Import Manager, make the mapping and then update the records faster? E.g. I could not find the field "URL <Hyperlink> [Qual]" in Import Manager
Thanks for your help and best regards,
Henning

Resolved!
I accidently oversaw the URL fields in Import Manager in table catalog items.

Map a field more than once in import manager

Hi experts,
is it possible to map a source field to more than one destination fields in import manager? E.g. I have a source field "client" and I have to map it to a destination field "client" and also to a combined lookup field which consists of a field "client" and "systemname".
Thanks for your answers. Regards, bd

Hi,
Yes you can achieve this , During Import Manager when mapping source field to target field in Map Field/Values tab, just above this on left hand side you can see Source Hierarchy in MDM Import Manger, Right click on field which you want to map more than one Destination field, here you get Clone Field option which make clone field , so you can map this clone field to other second destination field which will serve your purpose.
Hope it will Help you,

Reuse of MAP in Import Manager

I am trying to reuse a MAP created to load KNA1 table in Import Manager in the same server. The Source file name and file type (.xls) is the same, as well as the original worksheet name. While the Import Manager is matching records, it is abending w/ following msg - Error sig:
AppName: importmanager.exe; Appver 1.0.0.1; ModName: importmanager.exe; ModVer: 1.0.0.1; Offset: 004e9c90
Thanks

Sure, this is possible. Remember that map/syn files are useful when you know in advance nothing has changed, that is, when automating the process (via batch/server processing).
One example might be if MDM is expecting numeric value, whereas in the past you used a text value. You might not be changing the source data, but you have made the MDM Repository more restricted.
Perhaps you should review which changes have taken place, something might be escaping your sigh
I hope this helps
