Syndication of Taxonomy values

Hi All,
I need to syndicate the Attribute values for the attributes of a taxonomy table to ECC system. For example, for attribute "Colour" Red and Green in values are maintained in ECC. In MDM, I have added Blue and Black for this attribute.
Is it possible for me to syndicate the values "Blue and Black" to ECC from MDM?
Regards,
Ritam.

Hi Ritam,
As rightly pointed out by Pramod,When you are working with MDM integration with ECC you need to make sure that you are using lookup table and lookup values of ECC as MDM lookups.
And you assing one of these from the lookups to the main table records,You cannot give a value to a record outside the lookups as, when you try to syndicate the same from MDM ,it will fail in ECC as ECC does not know from where these values have come and this may result in an Idoc failure.
However if you already have maintained all the values in MDM as present in ECC then you can change the values and resend to ECC.
Hope It Helped
Thanks & Regards

Full path mapping not working for Taxonomy values

Hi Friends,
I'm trying to update a main table field, which is of type Lookup [Taxonomy]. The taxonomy table has a 5-level hierarchy, with two columns, Code (Display Field 1) and Name (Display Field 2). There are no attributes maintained.
001, A   [Remote Key : 001] <ROOT NODE> {Level 1}
|---000, A1   [Remote Key : 000] {Level 2}
      |---001, A2   [Remote Key : 001] {Level 3}
            |---001000, A3   [Remote Key : 001000] {Level 4}
            |---000102, SYST [Remote Key : 000102] {Level 5}
            |---001001, A4   [Remote Key : 000101] {Level 4}
            |---000102, SYST {Level 5}
|---001, B   [Remote Key : 001] {Level 2}
      |---001, B1   [Remote Key : 001] {Level 3}
            |---001000, B2   [Remote Key : 001000] {Level 4}
            |---000102, SYST {Level 5}
            |---001001, B3   [Remote Key : 000101] {Level 4}
            |---000102, SYST {Level 5}
The figure, unfortunately doesn't come up right, so I've indicated the levels of the nodes.
The remote keys have been maintained at all the levels. I've also set my Configuration Options settings for Hierarchy Values Automap to Fullpath. However, when I try to do an "Automap", the values are being mapped to the wrong leaf node, taking only the leaf node remote key, rather than following the full path. The leaf node value (000102, SYST) repeats multiple times, and the remote key could be maintained only for one of them. But instead of following the hierarchy, the mapping happens to the value for which remote key was maintained, here 001->000->001->001000->000102, no matter what the hierarchy is.
Am I missing something? Any help would be appreciated.

Hello Anil,
As for Hierarchy field using leaf nodes only for matching - this is the current design and from memory allocation point of view, I think it is reasonable (keeping the full path to the Node will use huge amounts of memory).
they way workaround this is by adding the code field to the matching step, this will allow you to make sure that the currect nodes are being mapped.
Hope this information helps,

Issues with syndication of multi-valued tuple fields

I'm trying to create a syndication map (using a schema) for a main table in MDM which includes a multi-multivalued tuple. The map generates an internal error on execution when I have the tuple fields mapped but executes correctly when I leave them unmapped. Has anybody else experienced this issue?

Hi Lori,
The Tuple syndication in MDM 7.1 works slightly differently than a normal lookup or Qualified mapping.
While syndicating tuple fields we cannot map the lookup Tuple field which acts as the linking field in the main table.
However you can map the tuple member fields and MDM syndicator allows you to map and syndicate them.
I have tried mapping and viewing the same and it works fine with me.
Hope It Helped

How to retrieve records from taxonomy table

Hi,
I have a main table which has taxonomy field,for ex: category.
Main table: Products which has ProductName(text),ProductNo(text),Category fields(Lookup[taxnomoy])
Could anyone please tell me how to retrieve the records and attributes from a taxonomy table.
Please provide some sample codes.
Thanks
Sabari

Hi Sabari,
your question is not so clear- any way find the following example
if you want to get records based on search criteria( ex: taxonomy values where ProductName = "something "),, follow the below steps;
1 . build Search Object- ( I guess you know this step)
2. get RecordResultSet Object -
     Example
     //Compose array of the fields to retrieve
     FieldId[] fields = new FieldId[5];
     fields[0] = assign FiledId of Category field ;
     //Create the result definition for the search table
     ResultDefinition rd = new ResultDefinition(productsTableId);
     rd.setSelectFields(fields);
    // Retrive ResultSet
       RetrieveLimitedRecordsCommand recordsCommand = new
       RetrieveLimitedRecordsCommand(mdmConnection.getConnection());
     recordsCommand.setSession(mdmConnection.getAuthenticatedUserSession().getSession());
     recordsCommand.setResultDefinition(rd);
     recordsCommand.setSearch(search);
     recordsCommand.execute();
        RecordResultSet records= recordsCommand.getRecords();
3 . Now Iterate through resultSet for CategoryRecord lookUp Id
           Record record = records.getRecord( i );
     FieldId[] fieldIds = record.getFields();
            for(int n=0; n<fieldIds.length; n++) {
               FieldId fieldId = fieldIds[n];
               FieldProperties fieldProps = records.getRecordMetadata().getField(fieldId);
               String fieldCode = fieldProps.getCode();
                        MdmValue value = record.getFieldValue(fieldId);
                      if(fieldCode.equals("Category")) {
               if (!(value instanceof NullValue)) {
                              //LookupValue appLookUpValue = (LookupValue) value;
                              Record[] lookupRecord=record.findLookupRecords(fieldId);
                              if(lookupRecord!=null && lookupRecord.length>0)
                                                        populate for a category for every lookup record
                                   // cat=this.getCategory(lookupRecord[0].getId(),locale);
Note:- from Main table records , you will get Category lookup records, you need to look up for every Category lookUp Record; there may be number of Category records for one main table Record;
if you still face problem , let me know;

Updating/setting multiple values in lookup field through powershell

I'm trying to set multiple values to lookup column. I can get it to set one value but multiple values don't work
see below
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection] $itemValues = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValueCollection
[Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValue] $lookupvalue = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPFieldLookupValue
$lookupvalue.LookupId = 1
$lookupvalue.LookupId = 2
$itemValues.Add($lookupvalue)
$CMRSItems["Event Type"] = $itemValues
$CMRSItems.Update()
I was expecting the LookupID 1 and 2 to update but it doesn't. When i specify LookupId = 1 it works
What am i doing wrong.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Patrick,
In your script above you're using the same object to set both ID's on. Setting the ID of $lookupvalue, then adding it to the lookupvaluecollection, before changing the ID value to 2, then adding that to the collection.
I wrote an article on setting fields using PowerShell, but it doesn't include multiple lookup values. It does contain multiple choice and taxonomy values though, which is a similar concept. It's here if you want to take a look: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/20831.sharepoint-a-complete-guide-to-getting-and-setting-fields-using-powershell.aspx

Can MDM Web Services return qualifier values?

We are running MDM 5.5 SP06 Patch04 (we will be doing a technical upgrade to MDM 7 later this year).
I am investigating the MDM web services and came upon a potential problem. In the test harness, I searched for a record, specifying ALL for the result definition and everything seemed to come back except qualifiers; lookup values came back, taxonomy values came back, qualified lookup display values came back, qualified link ids came back, but no qualifier values.
I searched again on the qualified link record ids in the qualified lookup table and I got the non-qualifiers, which is the expected behavior. The qualifiers have to come back with the main table record, though.
Are qualifiers not fully supported in the MDM 5.5 web services, or am I not searching properly?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Qualified Range is not Working

Hi,
I am having issue with Number Range getting crated for my Customer Number.Steps what I took to Acheive .
In Console :
For Remote System R/3
Key Genration : Qualified Range
Lookup Fields : Account Group.
Even For Account Group table has Key Mapping set to "Yes"
Then in the syndication Remote Key Value is mapped to Customer Number .When I syndicate the Records customer number not getting created and also when I check the Edit Kay Mapping,doesn't show anything for the Record.
Please help us onthis ,do I miss something here.
Thanks,
Manju

Hi,
after completing MDM Console setting for qualified number range
kindly Note following points:
1. make sure main table(for e.g. Product) and account group table key mapping should enable
2. import main records with specific remote system
3. open syndication map, and map value field under remote to destination side
4. in syndication map properties tab select remote system under Remote Key Override
5. Dstination preview tab will display customer number based upon qualified number range

After SharePoint 2010 MOSS SP2 was applied problem with library preview

Hi,
I have recently applied SharePoint 2010 MOSS SP2 from here
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2687453/en-us
After I have installed that service pack, one of my custom made library workflow for a department would not work when they Upload a document. It works if they create new documents from library menu, but not if they Upload a new documents.
ULS Viewer gives following messages
MetadataNavigationContext Page_InitComplete: No XsltListViewWebPart was found on this page[/_layouts/Upload.aspx?List=%.......Hiding key filters and downgrading tree functionality to legacy ListViewWebPart(v3) level for this list.
MetadataNavigationContext Page_InitComplete: No XsltListViewWebPart was found on this page[/_layouts/UploadEx.aspx?List=%...... Hiding key filters and downgrading tree functionality to legacy ListViewWebPart(v3) level for this list.
Some but not all taxonomy values were found, this can lead to the catch all being incorrect. Use TaxonomyField.SetFieldValue to update taxonomy values.
Also, when I try to use Navigation in Site Settings, and if I want to add new navigation either link or folder, and if I use IE 8 or 9 (32 bit) in the pop up window Navigation Link - web dialog, there is no "OK" button.
Thank you

Hi Eric
Thank you for helping me.
I have already came accross this blog and it is now quite the same as my case.
My navigation works without problem.
Also, when I open the site in SP Designer, all views of my library show this library in XsltListViewWebPart.
But this Upload.aspx, is a Form, not a view, and it shows the list in ListFormWebPart.
Just to remind you, the workflow work fine if the use "New Document" menu from library ribbon. So, I assume something is wrong with Update form.
This other form UploadEx.aspx, I do not see in SharePoint Designer for this Library.
I am kind of suspicious that it maybe has something to do with
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2872441/en-us
And am thinking of applying these

Not able to get the taxonomy field value of meta data field type

Hi Everyone,
Not able to get the taxonomy filed value from the metadata filed type.
Any one can help me on this.
Label, TermGuid, ValidatedString are showing empty when i debug the code.
Below is the code which i used to get the taxonomy filed value

Hi,
Can you please try getting this way?
var taxonomyField = listItem.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName(fieldName) as TaxonomyField;
if (taxonomyField.AllowMultipleValues)
var fieldValuesCollection = listItem[taxonomyField.Title] as TaxonomyFieldValueCollection;
return fieldValuesCollection.Select(x => new Guid(x.TermGuid)).ToList();
else
var fieldValue = listItem[taxonomyField.Title] as TaxonomyFieldValue;
return new List<Guid>() { new Guid(fieldValue.TermGuid) };

Not able to import Attribute Text Values in Taxonomy table

Hi Experts,
I have an excel file with 54K records of Attribute text values need to import in to taxonomy table. my excel file has 3 fields like ID, Name, Text Values. While mapping the fields in feild mapping grid, I have mapped ID field with Attribute Alias, Name with Attribute name, Text Value with Text Value and clone field of Text Value with [Text Value Remote Key]. Based on the field mapping I was trying to map values for ID filed with Attribute Alias field. Here I found Attribute Alias field has values in destination grid which were imported before for Attribute Name ID's in to the Alias field for attribute names.
Here I found these values are different when I tried to map these values and the Value map buttons(Automap/Map/Add) were disabled.
in the same way I tried with out maping the values for Attribute value id and selected the Attribute Alias field as value mapping field. but here in the import actions tab the records are active and disabled the import action option.
so I have executed the import process, but no attribute text values were imported in to Taxonomy table.
I am using the MDM 7.1 with build version 7.1.01.46.
Please let me know if anyone came across this situation.
Thanks,

Pass dynamic values to search-query in wlp-syndication-config for RSS

Hi All,
I want to pass dynamic values to the <search-query> element for the <syndication-feed> node in the wlp-syndication-config.xml file for implementing RSS feeds.
Here's a sample
<syndication-feed>
          <name>RSSFeed</name>
          <search-query>cm_objectClassInstance=='Node' && date == 'x'_</search-query>
          <search-type>pubmeta</search-type>
     </syndication-feed>
I tried passing the parameter in the url but the feed doesn't read it. The only option i have is to manually put the value to get the content from the repository, which sucks...because the values can change any time. is there any way that I can avoid it
Any help on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
K

MDM Taxonomy attribute values disappearing

Hello -
a problem has been encountered where some of the attributes of the taxonoy table disappear when two taxonomy fields in MDM main table lookup the same taxonomy table.
However, these attribue values still appear in the main table records, they just disappeared from
the "search parameter" area.
Has such a problem ever been encountered? If so - how has it been resolved?
Please let me know
Thank you in advance

Hi,
I don't know about any SAP note related to this problem, but you can just refer to Console reference guide and help.sap.com files, there you will find that we cant create a main table field of type taxonomy which refer to same taxonomy table. Its written "A product can belong to at most one leaf-node category." so that can be the reason we can use only one taxonomy table per main table field.

Importing and adding to Taxonomy Text Values

Hi MDM experts,
I have loaded a taxonomy, attributes, attribute texts and linked the attributes to nodes in the taxonomy. I also have products associated to the taxonomy nodes.
I am now importing data to populate products with the values of the taxonomy attributes. Occasionally, there are new values for the taxonomy text of an attribute in the input file.
When I import the taxonomy text for an existing attribute which already has several text values, the new value wipes out all the current values, replacing them with the new value for the import.
For example, the attribute Primary Color has values red, green, yellow. I get a product which has a primary color of blue. When I map using the Taxonomy [Text Values], the only Text value I have left after importing is blue.
I am using the Update all mapped fields option. I tried the Replace option and got the same results.
Is there a way to import additional text values and have them add to the existing list of text values for an attribute? I am on MDM version 5.5.63.74.
thanks,
morgan

Hi Sudhanshu,
You are correct. There is no way to populate an attribute that doesn't exist.
Here are my observations on importing product attribute data to MDM:
Import Manager
1. An input file that has an existing attribute that is not linked to the taxonomy node of the part will map but will not import. The error on import is 'One or more attribute values are invalid'.
2. A non-existing attribute will not map so you can't import data as long as the new attribute is in your input file.
Import Server
1. If there is an exiting attribute in the input file that is not linked to the part's taxonomy node, the import will fail with the error 'One or more attribute values are invalid'.
2. If there is a new attribute in the input file, the file will import. This tells me the import server just ignores the new attribute.
Since MDM does not have the concept of a free-form text attribute, the data for that attribute always needs to be added to the list of values for the attribute. This is what I was having a problem with. I found that if you set the Multi-Valued Update option in the Destination pane to Append, the value in the input file will be appended to the existing list of values for the attribute and then it can be used to populate the attribute on the part. (This requires 2 separate imports to populate the part attribute -- unfortunately).
Hope this helps,
Morgan

Taxonomy - Custom Values Priorities

Hi People, I whish someone can help me
I'm having a big problem to import some taxonomy data into MDM. I have imported the categories, attributes and now i will import the links between categories and attributes, the problem i'm having is that I have a large number of attributes and these attributes must be showed in a specific order of priority in Data Manager. For example in my Import Spreadsheet I have 15 attributes and each attribute ins numbered from 1 to 15, the number 1 is the highest priority and the 15 is the less priority. When import the data I mapped all attributes to highest priority but i can't define a custom value, when i open the Data Manager, they all are created with the same value like Highest [10], i would like that the attributes assumes the priority value from the Import Spreadsheet values from 1 to 15, I now that from the Data Manager I can specify a Custom value, but i need to import this value direct from the Import Manager. Anyone could give a help on this?
Thanks in advance!

Value conversion during syndication.

Hi All,
I need to do a value conversion during syndication of records out of MDM. The values maintained in my MDM Repository is true and false while the destination system can only read Y and N. What would be the best option to have this value conversion done during the auto syndication?
Appreciate your responses.
- Aditya

One way to handle this is by using key mapping on a lookup table instead of a boolean field. Often times your remote systems will have different internal values than the ones you are storing in your system. For example, you may store "True" or "False" as values in your MDM repository, however ECC doesn't accept those values, instead it wants "X" or "NULL". Likewise, a third-party system may expect "T" or "F". The same thing goes for other fields in your repository (ie: country codes, region values, etc). In cases such as this, you should create a lookup table with key mapping enabled. Then, you can maintain different values based on the remote system. In other words, you may store the value "TRUE" in your lookup table, but the key mapping for true may maintain "X" for ECC and "T" for a legacy system that you define in the console. Then, when you build your syndication map, you may the remote key to the destination field instead of mapping the actual code value of your repository. This way the correct value will always get syndicated to the partner system regardless of what system is being syndicated to.
Does that make sense?
