Syndicator and Import Maps

Hi all,
¿Does Anybody know which is the patch where is located the syndicator and the import mappings?.
Many thanks, it´s quite important.

Hi Jose,
Does Anybody know which is the patch where is located the syndicator and the import mappings?.
If you are looking for the standard Import and Export Maps, then You will have to unzip the standard business content for that. You can get it from the links mentioned in the above posts.
In addition, in the Zipped File you will get the followed things:
1. A2A fiel- This will be your standard repository. For ex, Cusitmer, Vendor, Arcticle etc.
2. Remote systems:
Some defined remote systems, you will find under the Admin->Remote systems. Like , MDM r/3 , MDM, Business Warehouse etc.
3. XSD's- You will also find the related XSD's.
4. Import and Export Maps - The remote systems mentioned above will have their own Import and Export Maps.
If you want these details, you will find it in the Standard Business Content.
Moreover if you are just talking about the Import and Export Mapping, you save your own customized maps in the Import Manager and the Syndicator, and then use it for future use.
Hope it helps.

How do i update & test import maps and syndication maps?

HI,
Can anyone guide me/ let me know the steps - how do i update & test import maps & syndication maps during upgrade in development system>
Regards,
Harmony

Hello Harmony
Different service packs SAP MDM 7.1 supprot the same Syndication and Import map format.
For Import map is updating you can use Import manager
For syndication map is updating - Syndicator
If your syndication and import map have been saved into repository just archive repository from your source landscape and unarchive it in destination.
If your syndication and import map haven't been saved in repository.
Exporting your maps to xml(syndication maps from syndicator and import maps from Import Manager) before migration and importing it to new repository.
According updating(modification) repository structure:
For Import map is updating you can use Import manager
For syndication map is updating - Syndicator
Another way(very exotic) - make changes in exported xml maps.
That's all

Mapping in Syndicator and XI

I am mixing up these two mapping --- in syndicator and XI
What gets mapped in syndicator and what gets mapped in XI?
Why do we map in syndicator, when there is option to map in XI?
I am a beginner in XI and trying to figure out MDM part of XI.
Appreciate your time.

Hi ,
This is really nice novice question .
Well the syndicator mapping is required to map the fields which should be sent out from MDM repository .
The XI mapping is done to map those incoming fields from syndicator to legacy or R/3 system .
Hope its clear now , or let us know if need more info ,

Export and import of mapping invalidates it

Hi All,
In Development environment I've built a mapping which validates well, deploys well and executes well.
Now I export it (mdl) and import it on Production environment. When I try to validate it runs into an error.
When I open the mapping I see that the JOIN operator has undergone a change. Normally it shows (from top to bottom) all ingroups and then the outgroup.
The imported version on Production however show first the outgroup and then all 3 ingroups.
When I check the intermediate result of this it's completely wrong.
When I check the JOIN condition, it has been messed up.
Has anyone experienced this before and is there a way to avoid it?
Thanks, Patrick
ps1 All underlying objects used in the mapping are valid.
ps2 Simply altering the JOIN statement is not enough, basically I have to throw away the entire JOIN operator and build it all over again.

Hello, this happeded to me also. Apparently when you add/drop groups in a join operator, sometimes it isn't imported correctly over a pre-existing version. Have you tried dropping the mapping before importing ? I remember this solved it for me...

Import and Syndication maps - change in XSD

HI All,
Can any one let me know are these are correct if it is then are there any work around solutions?
We created manually Import and syndication maps.. fine..After few days we changed data type/deleted the filed/added new fields.... In all these above incidents do we need to recreate import and syndication maps????
There is no other work around for this ??
2) Even if there is no change in Repository structure but change in import or syndication XSD do we need to recreate all import and syndication maps???
Your inputs are really helpful.
Thanks
Rajeev

HI Rajeev,
So for any change in the MDM repository Import maps and syndication maps are not needed to recreate from scrach right?
For minor changes like field add there is no need.For changes involving deletion of mapped fields,changing types of already mapped fields,deleting mapped tables,one should first unmap the current map and then carry out structural changes.Later one can remap them again,this is to avoid maps from getting corrupt.
If there is any change in the XSD then there is a possibility to recreate the map from scrach??
Yes
Do Update XML schema option avaliable only in MDM 7.1?? not in 5.5?
Yes
A good description and usage is given by Aamir here Update of XML syndication map when XSD is changed
One more thing want to clear : I created a scheme and assigned the XSD.. Now when I created the port I am unable to assing the schema like I do for import map??? then what is the use of XSD schema for outbbound??
Seems you are not using in the way it is supposed to.the exact usage and defining what feature is available with which port is mentioned in pg no 356 of Console guide.
What is the usual method of import XSD and Outbound XSD?? Do Source and Target systems provide XSDs to MDM or MDM provides to Source and Target Systems?
For Standard contents SAP provides ready made xsds.
It is important to note that xsds are only to make MDM and other system understand the xml so they should be same.
To do this you can use Altova tool to create xsds based on your xml,also PI can help you do the same.
You can create xsd with PI for other idoc type too.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Same import map to matmas and clfmas

Hi,
I have a custom idoc bringing matmas and clfmas together and XI /pi would convert that file into single XSD or XML .
Can we create a import map which can be used by this import file.
import map should have both masmas and clfmas definitions....
as we know clfmas is an heirarchy.
Sonali

Hi Sonali,
If I have understood your requirement correctly, you have a repository that contains both standard matmas and clfmas fields.Now have created a custom XSD from the standard IDos matmas and clfmas using PI.You want to import the data from this XML and save the map.
You can very well achieve this provided your repository has all the required fields to be mapped.
In the import manager connect to the customized XML.
Map the fields in the repository with the destination XML structure fields.Save the map.
Hope it helps.
Thanks,

MAP with Shipment Costs and Import Duties

Our company orders raw material from foreign companies and we need to include the cost of shipping and import duties for the raw material in the moving average price of the raw material when entered into the system? Can this be automated? How can this be achieved if not? Any ideas would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi,
Have u included the import condition types in your purchase orders. Then system automatically calculates the Import duties . If there is any difference between your planned import duty and actual import duty. You can settle the same through subsequent credit and subsequent debit funcionality in MIRO transaction.
Hope this helps, Please reward points as way of thanks.

How do I import Map Info Tab files into Spatial for a map of europe?

How do I import Map Info Tab files into Spatial for a map of europe via FME and have oracle spatial draw the map without problems?
So far I've got to the stage where I can import the data, spatially index it (in oracle 9i) and get my SVG (scaleable vector graphics) application to view the map.
The problem is that countries that have more than one polygon (more than one row in the database) do not draw properly.
When I view the Map Info tab file in the FME viewer I can see that the data is fine, but I can also see that some of the polygons used to draw a country are donugts and some aren't.
This seems to cause a problem when I import the data into oracle spatial as I don't know if a row in the table needs to be inserted as an independent SDO_GEOMETRY or if it should form part of a larger SDO_GEOMETRY (as in 2 or more rows make up the polygon shape for a country).
I have a feeling that I'm not using FME correctly, because at the moment I have to import the tab file into Oracle then re-insert the data into a spatially formatted table (one with a spatial index) - I get the impression that FME should do that for me but as I'm new to this I don't really know.
Any Help welcome :|
Tim

Tim,
MapInfo has a free utility called EasyLoader that allows you to upload a table directly to Oracle. EasyLoader creates the geometries and spatial index. You can download it free from http://www.mapinfo.com/products/download.cfm?ProductID=1044

Hi,
Request to let me know based on the requirement below on how to export and import data using flat file interface.....
Please provide the steps involved for the same.......
BW/BI - Recovery Process for SNP data.
For each SNP InfoProvider,
create:
1) Export Data:
1.a) Create an export data source, InfoPackage, comm structure, etc. necessary to create an ASCII fixed length flat file on the XI
ctnhsappdata\iface\SCPI063\Out folder for each SNP InfoProvider.
1.b) All fields in each InfoProvider should be exported and included in the flat file.
1.c) A process chain should be created for each InfoProvider with a start event.
1.d) If the file exists on the target drive it should be overwritten.
1.e) The exported data file name should include the InfoProvider technical name.

They can be edited with any text editor. Xcode provides a graphical editor for them - make sure to use the .plist extension so Xcode will recognize it.

Hi XI experts,
I am looking for any good website/Material for XSLT and ABAP Mapping with examples.
So experts if you any one of you have any clue , i would appreciate it , if you post the info here .
Regds,

Hi,
For XSLT mapping, please try to create msg types for sender and recv, import these two into XML Mapforces (This is a software which enables us to do mapping this you can download from altova mapforce site) , do mapping in that mapforce , late click on XSLT icon , one XSLT file will be c reated that file , prepare zip and late come to xi , import under imported archieves,do Interface mapping by selecting the XSLT mapping option, select imported archieve..
See below examples..

R/3 u2013 XI u2013 MDM integration scenario - Standard import Maps problem

Hi Data Masters,
We are working on R/3 u2013 XI u2013 MDM integration scenario for Vendor Object. We have extracted main table Data using u201CMDM_CLNT_EXTRu201D program. Now while importing the data in MDM we want to use u201CStandard business content i.e. Standard Import Maps (Name u2013 cremdm - 03 u201D but this maps are not mapping all the fields. So do we need to extend this maps..??
OK. Second, To create own maps we are facing following problems,
1) In source section many fields are reflecting twice means in two segments i.e. LFA1 and ADRMAS like Name, City, Street, country etcu2026 whereas in Target section we have one field for the same so how to maps this fields.
2) In source, There are few fields like ADRNR which have values but in target we donot have any fields to map for the same, so how to handle thisu2026
Helpful answers will be rewarded,
Cheers

[CS2][AS] Make XML import map is calling a refresh on styles?

If this can be of use to someone else... it's probably not CS2,AS specific.. but this is what i use.
It's the second time i have a bug like this, where changing the order of my calls is fixing the problem. With this one, i was getting random missing font error (times(1)) while batching documents(wich make the batch script batch crash as there is a modal dialog open). Not always on the same document, it was really fustrating as i was not able to get my finger on the problem!
I actually knew the source of the problem as i had added a fix (maybe not the best solution, but it was working well) that actually was removing the style from all the text frame (i noticed that using map style to tag was not always working well(when text frame had overriden?), so that's why i added code to reset the style before doing a map. But i was not understanding why it was happening so randomly...
I tought at first it was happening during save (as it reopen the document) but after a few experimentation it looked like it was occuring during the import map redefinition (See code below: make XML import map with properties {markup tag:tStyle, mapped style:tStyle}).
Looks like the make XML import is calling some sort of document refresh wich then pop the font missing dialog (even with never interact as script preferences!)! (missing font is actually a bug i had also in other circumstances.. exemple when you have a extra return at the end of a tagged text (outside the tag)). A bit unexpected, i really tought that creating a xml import map was just creating data structure in document model to be used later on by the auto style call...
The problematic script:
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
set myDocument to document 1
tell myDocument
--Reset styles.
set applied character style of every text of every text frame of every spread to character style 1
set applied paragraph style of every text of every text frame of every spread to paragraph style 1
--Create a tag to style mapping.
set tList to name of every XML tag
set tNumItems to count of tList
repeat with i from 1 to tNumItems
set tStyle to item i of tList
make XML import map with properties {markup tag:tStyle, mapped style:tStyle}
end repeat
--Map the XML tags to the defined styles.
auto style
end tell
end tell
And the working solution (just moved the reset of style after the import map creation loop):
tell application "Adobe InDesign CS2"
set myDocument to document 1
tell myDocument
--Create a tag to style mapping.
set tList to name of every XML tag
set tNumItems to count of tList
repeat with i from 1 to tNumItems
set tStyle to item i of tList
make XML import map with properties {markup tag:tStyle, mapped style:tStyle}
end repeat
--Reset styles.
set applied character style of every text of every text frame of every spread to character style 1
set applied paragraph style of every text of every text frame of every spread to paragraph style 1
--Map the XML tags to the defined styles.
auto style
end tell
end tell

it doesnt print any server control message. in my "page_404.jsp" I am printing current date and time (to check if the server visited that page) everytime when i refresh "index.jsp" the server goes to "page_404.jsp" and prints the current date and time.
so basically the only message which the console shows is the current date/time which i am printing in the "page_404.jsp"
Thanks.

ABAP and Java mapping

Wanted to confirm my understaing for ABAP and JAVA mapping.
Am I correct in my assumption that these mapping techniques can be used only if input and ouput is in XML format ?
So if XI is receiving a flat comma separated text/non-XML file or an IDOC for that matter and output is NOT in XML format, say again flat text file or IDOC, I cannot use above two techniques?
All the docs I have read suggest that 'Execute' method is called when XML file/data is received, paresed using DOM/SAX/JAXB (for Java mapping) or IXML lib (for ABAP mapping) and then create a output XML file.
-Thanks in advance

Hi Bob,
Here you have a code sample for deescaping. I have have written this code a couple of time ago. The incoming file can be any text format. It might be XML, but not necessarily.
The main method is not reqired, but good for testing.

Import map issue one record at a time

Hello Experts,
I built an import map to run it manually with import manager, but when I click on Ready to Import, the import manager is doing one record at a time. I have to go back to the match tab and refresh in order to import the rest.
Any idea where to setup a setting to import all records at once?
Thank you very much for your help,
Claudia Hardeman

Hi Claudia,
Please check if your matching criteria results in fewer records,what is the matching criteria you are setting?
Do you see a total of 300 under "Create" Match Action?
No of records to be imported is governed by Match action which tell the MDS which are distinct records,Match Action tells MDS what is to be done with this number of records which have this Match type.
Please check if you have "SKIP" as match action,if yes use a appropriate action for match type.
Do a "Save Update" of the map.
Please revert with results.
Thanks,
Ravi
