Validation to Identify Duplicate Descriptions in DRM

I am wanting to add a verification to keep us from creating a new node with a description that already exists. I have created other verifications successfully, but I'm not sure what query/property combination can identify if a description is already being used in the hierarchy. If anyone has already done this or has an idea on a good solution I would appreciate it.
Thanks,
Jeff

There really is no derivation logic, you use the built in functionality in DRM. When you create your validation use the class "UniqueProp" on the node level. In the parameters choose the property that you want to be unique, in this case "Descr". Be sure to assign the validation to the hierarchy or version and if you are using node types you must assign it to the correct node type(s) as well.
One word of warning, I had a large hierarchy that I tried this on and it was too slow for my preferences for this to run every time I changed a description. I ended up changing it to a verification that I run on demand.

  • BBPGETVD use of address comparison to identify duplicates Cbox?

    Dear Experts,
    What is the use of this check box
    Address Comparison to Identify Duplicates in transaction BBPGETVD?
    While running this transaction manually, if we dont select this cbox , no vendor is replicated from back end, what is the problem?
    Thanks,
    Anubhav

    Hi SG,
    Sorry for the wrong description, you are correct it works the other way round.
    The vendors we are trying to replicate does not exist in the system yet, still we have to uncheck the option beofre replicating them.
    There should be no problem even after selecting the cbox..right? because the vendors are new?
    Why is it giving error for new vendors?
    Thanks for the help,

  • Identifying duplicate records in a table

    I am trying to identify duplicate records in a table - well they are broadly duplicated but some of the fields are changed on each insert whilst others are always the same.
    I can't work out the logic and it is driving me #$%$#^@ crazy !

    Here are a couple of other examples:
    Method 1: -- Makes use of the uniqueness of Oracle ROWIDs to identify duplicates.
    =========
    To check for single column duplicates:
    select rowid, deptno
    from dept outer
    where
    outer.rowid >
    (select min(rowid) from dept inner
    where inner.deptno=outer.deptno)
    order by deptno;
    To check for multi-column (key) duplicates:
    select rowid, deptno, dname
    from dept outer
    where
    outer.rowid >
    (select min(rowid) from dept inner
    where inner.deptno| |inner.dname=outer.deptno| |outer.deptno)
    order by deptno;
    Method 2: -- Makes use of resultset groups to identify uniqueness
    =========
    To check for single column duplicates:
    select rowid, deptno
    from dept
    where
    deptno in
    (select deptno from dept group by deptno having count(*) > 1)
    order by deptno;
    To check for multi-column (key) duplicates:
    select rowid, deptno, dname
    from dept
    where
    deptno| |dname in
    (select deptno| |dname from dept group by deptno| |dname having count(*) > 1)

  • ABAP / Query to Identify Duplicate Rows in Cube

    Dear Experts,
    We have a situation were some of our Cubes (due to compression and varying levels of forceful reloads) now contain duplicate rows.
    What I need to know is :-
    1) Is there a way to identify duplicate rows where one of the characteristics are different but all key figures are identical.
    2) If so what is easier to achieve, ABAP routine/program or Query
    3) If ABAP suggestions on how to code such
    4) If query same.
    What I need it to do is tell me which ClaimNo record (Primary Key) has duplicates and what characteristic has caused it.
    I know I am asking for a lot but I really need to get this resolved as it's causing mayhem and trying to pinpoint these records is both time consuming and painful.  What we are looking to do with the records is establish how they became duplicated so we can prevent this happening in the future.
    Your help as always much appreciated.
    Regards
    Craig

    Hi Craig,
    My previous answer can find out what all cubes and data targets have been loaded based on a request.
    Actually for your query. The following information will be surely useful.
    tables: /BIC/**(source ) , /BIC**(target)
    parameter : fieldname like /BIC/****-fieldname ( In ur case the it can be primary key or Duplicate entry )
    data: itab_source  like /BIC/*** occurs 0 with header line,
          itab_destination like /BIC/*** occurs 0 with header line.
    data: wa_itab_destination like line of itab_destination.
    select *
      from /BIC/*****
      into corresponding fields of table itab_source.
      where fieldname = fieldname.
    ******Include your piece of code which is for deleting records
    Delete adjacent duplicates from itab_source comparing characteristic ( i.e  duplicate characteristic you specified)
    ****Use this to delete the ODS Data before writing into it
    call function 'RSDRI_ODSO_DELETE_RFC'
      exporting
        i_odsobject  = 'ODS Name'
        i_delete_all = 'X'.
    if sy-subrc = 0.
      loop at itab_source.
        move-corresponding itab_source to itab_destination.
        append itab_destination.
      endloop.
      modify /BIC/*** from table itab_destination[].   “target being written from itab.
      commit work.
    endif.
    Please Reward points if this helps really.

    Hi Dak,
    option 1:
    go to advanced tab of that particular report...
    You find check box Check this box to issue an explicit Select Distinct
    option 2:
    Uncheck the following item in Physical layer database features.

  • The previous version of Itunes had a function where I could identify duplicate songs in my iTUNES library.  I cannot find this function in the new version of iTUNES.

    The previous version of Itunes had a function where I could identify duplicate songs in my iTUNES library.  I cannot find this function in the new version of iTUNES.
    Please advise where this is in the new version?

    The show duplicates/show exact duplicates features have been left out of iTunes 11. Rumor suggests they will be restored in the next build. In the meantime I have written two Windows scripts to make playlists of Duplicates and Exact Duplicates, either from a selection of tracks or the entire library.
    If you want to manually remove duplicate tracks use shift-delete to remove selected tracks from the library as well as the playlist. Keep one of each repeated group of files and don't send to the recycle bin unless you are sure that there are multiple files on the disc as opposed to multiple entries to the same file.
    There is also my DeDuper script if you don't want to do it by hand. This can preserve ratings, play counts, playlist membership, etc. which are lost in a manual clean up. Please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping. See this thread for background on deduping and the script.

  • Hyper-V cluster validation report "Found duplicate physical address" on nic team interfaces.

    I recently built a Windows 2012 Hyper-V cluster with 5 nodes. The validation report shows “duplicate physical address” error (error text pasted below).
    The hardware: HP BladeSystem – servers are BL460c blades, in a c7000 enclosure, connected to HP Virtual Connect switches.
    Each server has 2 physcal nics, teamed in Windows. In the NIC Teaming console, I created the following Team Interfaces and assigned each a VLAN ID:
    “Team1” (the default team)
    “Team1 - VLAN 204 – Management”
    “Team1 - VLAN 212 - 2012HB”
    “Team1 - VLAN 211 -Exchange DAG Replication”
    I also created 2 HV Virtual Switches. Neither one allows management interface to share. They are assigned to “Team1” and “Team1 - VLAN 211 -Exchange DAG Replication” respectively.
    Therefore, in Network Connection, I see the 2 physical Ethernet nics, and 4 “virtual” nics. Only 2 of them have IP addresses assigned: Management and HB. These are the two that the validation wizard complains
    about.
    The MAC address is not configurable in the NIC Teaming console, so I don’t see a way to resolve this error, except to use separate physical nics. I don’t want to do that because a) I would lose the benefits of
    the bandwidth aggregation that Virtual Connect provides, and b) When creating an Interface on a Team in Windows, it looks like it ALWAYS gives it the same MAC address, so that should be a supported configuration.
    Everything works just fine, and there are no other errors or IP conflicts or anything else. But I really want to fix it because I don’t know what unknown problems this may be causing.
    From the Cluster Validation report:
    Found duplicate physical address 10-60-4B-A9-4A-30 on node Cluster201.OurDomain.local adapter
    Team1 - VLAN 212 - 2012HB and node Cluster201.OurDomain.local adapter
    Team1 - VLAN 204 - Management.

    Thanks!

    Hi Dan,
    "It turns out that both hosts had the same default MAC address ranges for their virtual switches. Since the host vNICs were attached to the virtual switch on each host they received the first couple of MAC addresses from the switches.

  • Iphoto - how to identify duplicates?

    When merging events, the old version of iphoto would identify duplicates which then made it easier to delete those duplicates. Having updated to ilife 11, the new version of iphoto does not seem to have this function. I synched my iMac with my Mac book and for some reason, some events were duplicated or even tripliated, thus I need to delete a lot of photos resp. events. I need to make sure that I do not trash singlets...HELP!

    For dealing with duplicates in iPhoto check out Duplicate Annihilator
    How did you sync your iMac and MacBook? iPhoto doesn't have a 'sync' feature. Did you import one Library to another?

  • BBPGETVD use of address comparison to identify duplicates Check box?

    Hello Experts,
    Have some doubts .
    When I check the box in BBPGETVD use of address comparison to identify duplicates Cbox? 
    1) system should should transfer the number from R/3  right ??  system does not replicates??
    2) When I check the box to assign internal number , system replicates the vendor successfully .
    So can you please put some light on this behaviour of system.
    Thanks
    Kapil

    Hi Kapil,
    The number assignment and the Duplicate check are two different functionalities. The duplicate check (if ON) takes the address of the vendor and checks in the SRM for any BP with the same address. If there is already a BP present in the SRM system with the same address, then the vendor is not replicated from ECC.
    Hope this helps
    Cheers,

  • Identifying Duplicate Roles and Traching Composite Role Assigned to the Use

    Dear Friends,
    I am novice to this website even after browsing for past 3 months. This website is so useful and huge with so many forums. I am lost many times where to post this questions. there is not a single SAP Security Forum or Basis/Security related forum. Can anyone direct me to the right forum or if there is no Security Forums, can anyone  direct me how to start new Forum so that all security related discussions and knowledge sharing takes place. I am requesting the Moderators of this website to direct me to the right forums.
    we have around 2000 users in Production. We assign Composite roles and single roles to all users. Sometime we use SECATT or LSMW to update User Master Data to Assign some Roles that are ALREADY assigned to the users. I have 2 questions. If there any way to clean up this mess. I mean Identifying all users who have these Duplicate Roles with Different Validity Dates. I am sure SUIM can not help me as I research a lot on this. I appreciate if anyone can direct me with some solution in this cleanup process. I mean some SQL or SAP Query will help me i guess. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
    My Second Question is Tracking Composite Role/User Assignment Changes. We had assigned some Composite roles to the user 3 months ago and deleted last week. when i check SUIM change documents, It does not show Composite Role history. It is Displaying all single roles that are assigned and deleted later. BUT It never showed any information on Composite Role Additions or Deletions in User Change Documents. I hope SUIM is not going to help. I still need to go to many places or write any Good SQL and execute them.
    Is anyone had written this Utility SQL programs for cleanup of roles/users in the SAP. Is there any way to check or debug this issue, going to see any tables that monitor these changes. I appreciate if can one can share this knowledge to resolving this issues.
    any ideas and suggestions are welcome.
    Thanks
