Syndication of Relationships

How to syndicate the relationships in MDM?
I dont see a way to do it via MDM Syndicator.
MDM Data Manager has Relationships ->Export and Import to file option.
But this option does not suffice our requirements.
How will I be able to <b>syndicate the relationships that have changed since the last syndication run for a particular client</b>?

Relationships and Binaries (Images, PDFs, TextBlocks) can't be syndicated using standard MDM tools (Syndicator or Syndicator Batch).
Build a call using Java or COM API and extract information from the repository.

Automatic syndication & Relationships export

Hello All;
Client requirement is like this:
We have two repositories :1.Staging 2. Production
1. Client wants autonmatic syndication as well as workflow trigger from Production so as to send data to other target systems.
2. Client also wants relationships to be Syndicated /Synchronised from Staging to Production ( we are relating similar records from different source system) (we are assigning Unique ID to related records)
for requirement 1, we can simply syndicate records from staging to production and do automatic syndication /WFL trigger from Production but as far as my knowledge goes we can not syndicate Relationships in MDM 5.5 ( this feature will be available in MDM 7.1 ,right ?) and we can also not import sibling relationships in MDM 5.5 ( as all our relationships are Siblings).
For requirement 2: if we use Maste/slave concept ,we can get relationships synchronised from master repository to slave repository but from slave repository we can not trigger workflow or we can not do automatic syndication.
Can any one give me pointers as to how to go about resolving this issue??!!
Thanks
Bindi

At this stage it is not possible to export to more than one table to SQL Loader at a time. Please post a request on the Exchange for this.

Syndication of Hierarchy table values

Hi All,
We have a scenario like Syndication of Hierarchy table values along with relationships. Hierarchy structure as follows.
Hierarchy Table
|
|_____Parent1
|              |_____Child1
|                             |_____Child11
|
______Parent2
                    |___Child 2
Fields in this table Record ID and Name
We want to syndicate this hierarchy structure in to Flat/XML, in following format
If i want to syndicate Child11 record the record should syndicate in following format
Record ID
Parent1>Child1>Child11
If i want to syndicate Child1 record the record should syndicate in following format
Record ID
Parent1>Child1
I tried with the Destination item properties Full path option. but still i'm not getting the full path details.
Can anyone pls help me on this.
Thanks,
Anil

Hi Anil
This is not possible directly as MDM always syndicates a flat file and hierarchies etc are lost.
You can try this as workaround-
1. Introduce some more fields in te Hierarchy table like Node level(1 for root and 2,3,4 for subsequent levels)
2. Similarly add field for Parent Node and this should have values for the preceeding parents. For ex- record Child11 should have Parent node as Parent1>Child1>
3. Syndicate the Hierarchy table with a custom schema to accomodate the above 2 defined fields also.
4. Use XI mappping rules to concatenate the record value and Parent node to get the desired output. This should be again based on conditional check Node level>1
5. The source fiel used for importing the Hierarchy table in MDM can be tweaked to add Node level and Parent Node fields.
hope this helps-Ravi

Maintain One-to-Many relationship

Hey Guys,
I need to design a Repository in which i have to maintain one-to-many relationship. A Customer can have multiple Countries associated with it. i will get an XML file from PI and i need to import this (via Import Manager or MDIS) into MDM.
the XML file will look something like below :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <ProductsMsg>
- <Products>
<CompanyName>XYZ</CompanyName>
- <Country>
      <Name>US</Name>
</Country>
- <Country>
      <Name>IN</Name>
</Country>
- <Country>
      <Name>UK</Name>
</Country>
</Products>
</ProductsMsg>
As you can see above,"CompanyName" occurs only once but "Country" is occuring multiple times within the XML."CompanyName" is a text field but "Country" field must come from a lookup table.Now how will i design the repository for this?
I know i can define "CompanyName" as xsd:string in repository but how will i define "Country" field? what kind of lookup will it be ?
Also i would need to syndicate this file later on (to other systems) in the same format (one "CompanyName" but multiple "Country" tags with it) so the design of repository should be able to handle this syndication requirement as well.
Thanks

Characteristic Relationship BI-IP

Hi,
I am trying to create the following characteristic relationship on real time planning cube.
Within the realtime cube I have 0fiscper and 0fiscvarnt being populated.
I also want to calculate 0calquarter and 0halfyear1.
For this I have created a DSO which has 0fiscper and 0fiscvarnt as the key and 0calquarter and 0halfyear1 as the data fields. I am populating 0fiscper and 0fiscvarnt during the upload and calculating 0calquarter and 0halfyear1 via a routine.
I am now trying to create the characteristic relationship, but when I enter the DSO technical name, I get the following error message:
DataStore object '....' does not have a data field from the InfoProvider; this object is invalid here.
Any ideas why this happening, all the fields in the DSO exist in the realtime cube.
Thanks
DJL

Hi
For time characteristics, there are standard characteristic relationships.. dont see why need to create them.
if it is for fiscvarnt-fiscper combination: guess no need for other things.
Also if u r specifying DSO name in planning modeler, I guess u can look up the DSO thru F4 help.

Training and Event Management: Relationships

Hi TEM Experts,
What are the appropriate steps, or best practice, if the event we want to add is a one off, and wasn't really scheduled? Do we need to go through the entire PSV1, PV12, etc. process just to add a one off event so that it shows up on the employee training report? What if we only want to create the relationship between person and business event type, but what report to run to show it?
Thanks in advance,
Susan

How can I display contacts in a relationship

I have companies in my CRM. I have a customers/contacts in the CRM I have tied as a relationship with each companies. How can I display all the records/contacts associated with a company? I have a already created a secure zone, so the company user would have logged in. Is this possible? If not, any workaround?
The only workaround I thought of is to use webapp to import the company data and create another web app containing the employees data. Then link both tables/webapp using datasource. But the way the client's data is structured could create a lot of problems going forward.
Any suggestion, help will be appreciated

The relationship feature and how companies work currently in BC is really limited. It is an association and not true relationships at the moment. You cant output a company and show all its relationships at the moment.

1. Create the custom project from inactiveDC's
2.creating the project for the component crm/b2b in SHRAPP_1
3.After that we changed the application.xml and given the contect path.
4.Then we tried to add Dependency to the custom create DC we are getting the error saying that illegal deppendency : the compartment sap.com_CUSTCRMPRJ_1 of DC sap.com/home/b2b_xyz(sap.com.CUSTCRMPRJ_1) must explicitly use compartment sap.com_SAP-SHRWEB_1 of DC sap.com/crm/isa/ like that it was throwing the error.
so, we skip this step and tried to create the build then it is saying that build is failed..
Please help us in this regard.
Awaiting for ur quick response...

Hi
Please Ignore my above message.
Thanks for ur Response.
After ur valuble inputs we have added the required dependencies and sucessfully created the projects, then building of the projects was also sucessfully done and EAR file was created.
We need to deploy this EAR file in CRM Application Server by using the interface NWDI.
For Deploying the EAR into NWDI, we need to check-in the activites what i have created for EAR. once i check-in the activites ,the NWDI will deploy the EAR into CRM Application Server.
In the Activity Log we are able to check the Activities as Suceeded but the Deployment column is not showing any status.
When i right click on my activity Id the deployment summery is also disabled.
So finally my Question is that where can i get the deployment log file, and where can i check the deployment status for my application..
Any pointers in this regard would be of great help..
Awaiting for ur valuble Responses..

Automatic creation of BP relationship while BP is created

We are implementing CRM SALES and using Portal as the user interface.
The requirement is that a Sales Rep should be able to see only the
accounts and contacts (which is nothing but Business partners in the
GUI side) that they have created when they list account using "My
Accounts" in Portal. We are configuring Portal in a such a way that
"My Accoounts" is the only view available for Sales Rep portal.
I have tested and found that if a relationship category of "is the
reponsible employee" is created from the sales rep to the Account OR
Contact then that account or contact will be displayed in the "My
Accounts" or "My Contact"view in Portal.
But requesting a Sales Rep to create the relationship for every
Account and Contact that they create in CRM will NOT be accpetable at
all.
Hence I am looking for an option with which a relationship of "is the
Responsible Employee" can be created automatically when an account or
contact is created by the Sales Rep.
Please let me know your ideas.

Hi Rajadurai,
In the BADI - BUPA_FURTHER_CHECKS implement the method - CHECK_CENTRAL.
The following code could serve your purpose:
IF IV_ACTIVITY eq '01'. "Check if it is for creation
CALL FUNCTION 'BUPR_RELATIONSHIP_CREATE'
   EXPORTING
    IV_PARTNER_1 = IV_PARTNER
    IV_PARTNER_2 = LV_createdby "BP no of the creator
    IV_RELATIONSHIP = 'BUR011' "Code for emp. resp
    IV_DATE_FROM = SY-DATLO
    IV_DATE_TO = '99991231'.
endif.

Creation of New field in Relationship block of contact page

Hi,
I have created a new field as value attribute in Relationship block of contact overview page. Since both AET and EEWB did not allow creation of the field as part of BUT051 I had to create value atribute. I have custom logic for the field. Can you please let me know how I can populate the field.
Thanks,
JC

Hi JC,
The context node that you are using is a mixed node, so from this node you need to get value node so that you can cast the value into cl_bsp_wd_value_node.
Here's the sample code for getter and setter method of that attribute:
DATA:
lr_mixed TYPE REF TO cl_bsp_wd_mixed_node,
lr_value_node TYPE REF TO cl_bsp_wd_value_node.
lr_mixed ?= current or lr_mixed ?= iterator. " use either of the code i dont have system right now
lr_value_node ?= lr_mixed_node->if_bsp_wd_ext_property_access~get_value_node( ).
Here, from lr_value_node get the property access method and set the attribute value to VALUE parameter.
Thats it
Thanks,
Bhushan

Problem with Foreign Key relationships in SAP R/3 4.7

Hi Experts,
I am trying to create a foreign key relationship between 2 transparent tables in SAP R/3 4.7
Table 1:ZAAVNDR (MANDT (pk), VENDORNO (pk), NAME, REGION, COUNTRY (fk)) Foreign Key Table
Table 2: ZAAVNDRREF(MANDT(pk), COUNTRY (pk)) ---Check table
I have added few valid countries in check table but when I am adding some records in foreign key table with invalid countries these records are not being restricted and are still successfully going into the table.
Could any one please help in this.
Thanks in anticipation.
-Amit

Hi Sandra,
Many thanks for your response and providing time of yours.
Now, I have done exactly the same thing, but still it is the same.
I have created two new tables as below:
ZAAVREF (Check table)
MANDT (PK)
COUNTRY (PK) Domain:ZAACOUNT (CHAR 10)
ZAAV1 (Foreign key table)
MANDT (PK)
COUNTRY (PK) Domain:ZAACOUNT (CHAR 10)
Then I have created FK on country of foreign key table ZAAV1 and then SE16 (for table ZAAVREF)->Create Entries-> Entered values for Country only->Save....Records entered with valid Country values.
After that SE16 (for table ZAAV1)->Create Entries-->Entered an Invalid country->Save->Still the record entered to the Database successfully....
Could you please let me know where I am going wrong.
I am using SAP R/3 4.7 and creating tables using Tools->ABAP Workbench->Development->ABAP dictionary

Love / Hate Relationship with Photoshop Elements

I am having a love/hate relationship with Photoshop Elements! Love the page design capabilities and hate the lack of capability on the print end. Kodak does not give any choice in the book they will print from Elements. All I can get is a #$%& die cut cover! Is there anyway that I can order other options that I know Kodak has available when creating a book using Elements and their site. I want to be able to choose a custom cover! I have tried Kodak to get answers. I have tried Adobe (impossible, unless maybe you pay). Neither are very helpful! The only answers I get are use the Elements designed pages and place them onto pages that you create in their software. Problem is that one needs a jpeg file to do this. No online program seems to recognize .PSD or .PSE file types. HELP!
Bob, Barbara you both seem to be very knowledgable...any ideas...
Anyone with any help can answer here or [email protected]
Terry

Terry:
Yeah, the photobook print options are limited. (Although, the built in Kodak and Shutterfly books are very nice)
One thing to try differently is to use the Print At Home selection on that first screen after the clicking on the PhotoBook option (assuming you are using PSE8 here) (use Photo Collage with PSE7)
Down that path, you will get a few more choices in page size. It will still create a multi-page document (a .pse) while your building your book, and when done, you can print the pages of the book out as a .pdf. Many book printing services will take in a PDF.
Another option is to do a single page at a time and save them as .jpg's. A little more work in keeping your various files together and ordered properly, but it would give you ultimate flexibility.

Unique Relationship Entity

Is there a simpler way to get a unique relationship entity than this?
@Entity
class CarPassedTruck {
    class Unique {
         @KeyField(1)
         String carLicense;
         @KeyField(2)
         String truckLicense;
         private Unique() {}
    @PrimaryKey
    long id;
    @SecondaryKey(relate=MANY_TO_ONE, relatedEntity=Car.class)
    String carLicense;
    @SecondaryKey(relate=MANY_TO_ONE, relatedEntity=Truck.class)
    String truckLicense;
    @SecondaryKey(relate=ONE_TO_ONE)
    Unique unique;
    private CarPassedTruck() {}
}If this is the best approach, would it be possible to get an annotation to handle the creation of this composite key automatically? The cleanest place to put one would seem to be as an array of @UniqueKey in the @PrimaryKey.
@PrimaryKey(unique={@UniqueKey("carLicense", "truckLicense")})

Hi,
I've been thinking about this and I think perhaps a more general solution would be a better addition to the DPL in the long run.
If I understand correctly from your example and code, your main intention is to avoid creating the Unique key class that contains the car and truck license fields. In your example a long ID is used as the unique primary key. However, another (possibly more common) approach would be to make the car/trunk license the one and only unique key as follows.
@Entity
class CarPassedTruck {
    static class CarTruckKey {
         @KeyField(1)
         String carLicense;
         @KeyField(2)
         String truckLicense;
         private CarTruckKey() {}
    @PrimaryKey
    CarTruckKey key;
    @SecondaryKey(relate=MANY_TO_ONE, relatedEntity=Car.class)
    String carLicense;
    @SecondaryKey(relate=MANY_TO_ONE, relatedEntity=Truck.class)
    String truckLicense;
    private CarPassedTruck() {}
}In this case, and possibly also in your example, the CarTruckKey class is needed in order to do lookups by this key in the index. Lacking tuples (like Python and Scala) in Java, such a key class is needed to specify a composite key, especially in general case where not all the fields are Strings.
This brings us to more a general issue in the DPL, which has been pointed out several times on the forum and that we do plan to address in the future, which is that it is cumbersome to share a field's value among more than one key. Today, sharing of values requires that the application copy the shared value into multiple field locations. This copying has to be done initially when the object is created, and whenever a shared field value is changed. You'll find a number of posts on the forum about this.
This issue comes up whenever composite keys are used, and a field in a composite key is also used in another key or as a non-key field. We have several ideas in mind for addressing this issue, for example:
<li>Allow a field in a key class to refer to another field or key by name, such that the copying is done automatically.
<li>Provide a way to define keys via methods, rather than fields, allowing the methods to derive the key value (whether singular or composite) from other fields in the object. This also allows deriving keys using computations on their source data, as opposed to just copying.
Another issue is that one would like to specify a foreign key constraint on a field in a composite key class, whether or not that field also appears as a separate key. One would like to specify a sequence, as well, on an individual field in a key class.
Initially I didn't recognize your feature request as related to these more general problems, and I apologize for that. And I'm sorry that I didn't give you this feedback before you wrote the code; that wasn't fair.
We are really in no position right now to do the design or implementation work required to address these enhancements in a thorough way; we'll need to put a lot of thought into this, in order to keep the DPL model as simple as possible. But these issues have been outstanding for a long time, so I can imagine that you and others may be a little frustrated that we're taking so long. We have to balance the time we put into the JE database storage engine itself with time we put into the DPL, so we definitely have constraints. But I can assure you that we are chipping away at some of the DPL enhancements that have been requested.
I'm not sure whether you'd like to do a local enhancement in your copy of JE that addresses your immediate needs, or if you'd rather wait for more general solutions to appear in JE later on. Whatever you choose to do, we'll support you the best we can with the time we have available.
Thanks,
