Workaround on all the limitations of Qualified Lookups, Multivalued Tuples.

Dear Experts,
As we all know, there are lots of limitations on Qualified Lookups in MDM 5.5 and also in MDM 7.1....
1) Can't write Assignments...
2) Failed validation won't specify which qualified link has failed.
3) Compare records won't show link wise comparison of qualified links.
4) Can't start qualified link level workflows.
5) Role level constraints not applicable for Qualified lookup and tables referencing from QL directly or indirectly.
6) Qualified link level check-in check-out operations are not possible.
7) Qualified link level unique constraints are not possible (this becomes pain if links get duplicated by mistake)
8) Duplication of QL link is not allowed in data manager (for copying Qualifier values in new Qualified link).
9) Tuple is replacement for qualified lookup, but its more restrictive than QL (validation are not allowed on multivalued tuple).
10) ....... many more (which might have discovered by you all)
What if we make all the qualified lookups as main table and link those table to actual main table using Lookup [ Main] field type?
Well it will restrict the data analysis objective which is one of goal of Master Data Management...
But this will solve all the problems and limitations due to Qualified Lookup or Multivalued Tuple!
I think its feasible and technically possible (But only in MDM 7.1 onward)
How is the IDEA !!!
Thanks & Regards,

Dear Michael,
Thanks for your valuable replay...
Well out of 9 pain points I listed above...
Some of them may be fixed in future releases...
But there are some points which (I feel) may not be on the feature list of future releases like....
2) Failed validation won't specify which qualified link has failed.
3) Compare records won't show link wise comparison of qualified links.
4) Can't start qualified link level workflows.
6) Qualified link level check-in check-out operations are not possible.
(all these points are applicable for tuples also)
Above points can be ignored at the time of fresh implementation
But its become blocker in new scenarios which are taken-up after go-live! (i.e expansion of already live repository)
Most of the people in MDM might not be aware of that import works on a single main table at a time.
Well you are an expert, what you said is something new and useful... Thanks for that !
Thanks & Regards,
Shaailesh.

  • Values of Non-Qualifiers (lookups) not auto-converting.

    We've been trying to use Import Server to automatically import records (XML) that had data for qualified lookup tables. Apparently there is an issue with namespaces in both the schema that we mapped to and the source field.
    After removing the namespaces, we now have an issue with the non-qualifier that uses a lookup table not automapping it's values and thus retaining the compound field at the Customer main level.
    First, the Partner Function is mapped to the Partner Function flat lookup table. At this level, the value auto-converts and the green dot is visible to the left. 
    Second, at the Customer Partner qualified lookup, the Partner Function is again mapped to the Partner Function lookup. This time, however, the values do not automatically convert and the "AUTOMAP" button must be manually pushed for them to map. The other non-qualifiers (CustomerID, PartnerNum, PartnerSAP_ID) are also mapped and their values auto-convert (green dot).
    Finally, at the Customer main level, all of the non-qualified field from the Customer Partner table are mapped and all auto-convert except for the Partner Function field. This requires us to manually push "Automap". Then, and only then, does it allow us to right click on one of the fields and create the compound field to map to the Customer Partner field. Again, the value mapping is not automatic but must be done manually.
    This map is then saved and ImpMgr closed. When the IM is reopened with the same map, the compound field is not recreated due to the fact that the Partner Function values did not convert. Once these are redone manually, then and only then can the compound field be recreated and value mapped.
    When this same map is used in the Import Server, the error is that the qualified fields cannot be mapped. This brings us back to the lookup fields not value mapping. Likewise, if this same file is opened in Import Manager mannually, and the map applied, it STILL does not convert the values and the Compound Field for the Qualified L/Up table is dropped. 
    We are using MDM 5.5 SP4 Patch 3.

    Hello Christiane,
    Yes, this is a very important point and I should have noted it in my original post. Yes, my Default Batch Handling settings are:
      Yes - Automap unmapped values
      Add - Unmapped Value Handling
    Plus:
      Replace - Default multi-valued update
      Append - Deault qualified update
      None - Default matching qualifiers
    Also, in my mdis.ini file, my settings are:
      Automap Unmapped Value = True
      Unmapped Value Handling = Add
      Always Use Unmapped Value Handling = True
    It used to work when we were in SP4, Patch 2, but have since upgraded to Patch 3, Hotfix 2(?) and can't get it to work.
    Thanks for helping!

  • Qualified lookup table

    Hi Guys,
    Can you tell me the steps to be followed for importing and syndicating qualified lookup table .
    Thanks,
    MS Reddy

    Hi,
    1. Import all the lookup tables used in Qualified table.
    2. Import qualified table data along with main table data only. For more than one qualified table record you should have repeated main table record.
    E.g.
    Qualified Table - Price Information
    Lower Bound
    Purchasing Info Record ID
    Purchasing Organization
    Amount
    Currency
    First three fields are the non-qualifiers amongst which Purchasing Organization is the lookup field. So you need to first populate this field.
    Now your main table record is
    Supplier     Supplier Part Number     Short Description     Product ID     Service Item     Lower Bound Purchasing Info Record ID     Purchasing Organization     Currency     Amount
    AGENCY01          1000               metal processing     IBG-100               False     1     5300000018     Mumbai Purchase Org     Indian Rupee     100.00
    1. Map all the main table fields
    2. Identify the Display fields of your Qualified table, if your qualified table has more than one Display field then map the fields with the fields marked as D in destination structure e.g. in above given table all the three non-qualifiers are the display fields then mark Lower Bound with the D   Lower Bound field, similarly map the other display fields
    3. Select all the Display fields at source side, right click and select Create Compound field. This will combine your input fields and automatically map them with Qualified field.
    4. Map the qualifiers
    5. Select the unique fields in Matching fields tab and execute the import.
    When you syndicate data containing qualified links, it will create the number of output records depending on the number of qualified links.

  • Problem with Qualified lookup field

    Hi all
    I have one qualified lookup field in main table of the repository. when i created the iview for ItemDetails then i selected all the fields of the main table which includes the qualified look up field . but when i see the preview then i am not able to see the field of qualified lookup field in the preview. it is not displaying but i selected the same field.
    please help me out on Can we enter the data in the qualified table field which is part of main table in the repository while creating the record??
    but i am able to edit the qualified lookup field which is part of main table. but the only problem while creating the record it is not displaying me the qualified lookup field. please help on this........
    Thanks
    Regards
    Sunil

    Hi Sunil,
    It will not allow you to add the qualified lookup value in the main table record directly.
    As the qualified lookup field in the mai table links the main table record with the qualified table fileds.
    You will only be able to view the non-qualifier field values in the main table but the qualifier value  for that particular record will be visible in the qualifier table only.
    So as to populate the lookup qualifier you need to create the main rec then you can establish the link and populate the qualified table fields.
    Hope it helps
    Kindly reward points if found useful
    Thanks

    Hi all,
    Guess I understand what is going on as I'm also experiencing the problem.
    Basically the issue is about the iPhone 4's personal hotspot.
    I'm trying to hook on personal hotspot to my toshiba laptop but it couldnt work as the connection is limited to local only without Internet access.
    The hotspot works well on other laptop and I-devices, but not my toshiba...
    Hope to get assistance here. Thanks

  • Limiting the values in a lookup table

    Hello everyone.
    I was wondering if it is possible to limit the selectable values in a lookup table based on certain criteria, foremost the content of a separate field.
    Example:
    A product has a measurement key that determines which sizes are valid for a given product.
    Is it possible for MDM to read this key and filter the values of the table holding all the values for all keys?
    Hope that was somewhat clear what I'm trying to do.
    Best regards,
    Anders

    Hello Andres:
    I believe that what you should do is to place all the products types into Categories. There, you can give different attributes to each product and therefore, limit what the user can choose as its values.
    For instance, you have two products A and B. Each one would have a separate "Measure" field.
    Create Categories:
    Cat_A
    Cat_B
    with separate attributes:
    Cat_A
      |____ Measure_A
    Cat_B
      |____ Measure_B
    And in each Measure <b>Attribute</b> (not field) you can specify the correct values for each category (i.e Product type)
    When the user chooses Cat_A as the product type, the Measure_A will appear, with its values. The same will happend for Cat_B
    I hope that helps
    Regards

  • My new iPad2 synched OK on initial setup but I didn't really want all the photos in iPhoto transferred so on  later synch I tried limiting the sych to certain albums only to find that only a fraction of the albums now on the iPad. I tried synching again.

    My new iPad2 set up OK with all the photos in my iPhoto transferring . On a later synch I tried limiting the transfer to only certain albums. After that I find only a fraction of the desired albums transferred. I tried synching again without any restrictions but get the same limited number of photos and albums. I think I've seen the solution to this fault somewhere - something to do with deleting the iPhoto cache but can't find it.

    Update: I was unsuccessful on my attempt to delete the iPhoto Cache folder because I didn't follow the directions exactly. There seems to be more than one folder with an identical name. Finally succeeded in getting all my photos back on the iPad2.
    If one desires to change the selection of photos snc'd, however, it apears that you must change the selecion from the iTunes screen while the iPad is plugged in and the select "Apply". Unfortunate, the sync starts immediately when you plug the iPad in and it doesn't seem to smart to stop the sync. It appears you have to make a change in iTunes while syncing. Let it complete. Detach the iPad. Go back and delete the iPhoto cache ad directed. Then the next time you sync presumably the new sync restrictions will apply. I didn't want to risk stopping the sync that started automatically to change the sync options and then direct it to sync again but that might work. Too bad we don't have more control over the starting of syn when the iPad is attached. Maybe we actually do but I haven't noticed it.

  • Qualified Lookup Table in Webdynpro Content Generator

    I am trying to build a user interface with the webynpro component generators from the business content deployed on the portal.  The problem I face is with qualified lookup tables.  From the main table, there is an embedded table which contains the qualified lookup table.  I can press the "edit" button to open a pop-up window which shows the details of the qualified link.  Unfortunately, on MDM 7.1 SP05, the pop-up window contains a table at the top of the screen that forces the entire window to span the width of the table, which will go on quite far because I have about 20 fields in my qualified lookup table.  Below I can enter the values for the individual fields, but it is difficult to use because you have to scroll all the way to the right to select drop down values.  Is there a way to remove the summary table from the pop-up window for qualified lookup tables?  I havent seen an option in the UI config.

    Apparently you can configure the fields that are shown in the pop-up window, but it also limits the fields that are displayed on the iView of the main table.

  • Syndicating Selected Qualified Lookup Entries

    Hello all!
    Here is an issue we are working on. We would like to syndicate entries from a qualified lookup table for a particular customer, but only those where a certain qualifier has a specific value. For example:
    Qual Table:
    Non-Qual1; Non-Qual2; Qualifier.
    Entries:
    "AA", "123", "Yes"
    "BB", "123", "No"
    "CC", "456", "Yes"
    So, when I syndicate this customer record, I would only like to syndicate those entries where the Qualifer = "Yes".
    "Supress Unchanged Records" only works on the whole customer record and if the Search Criteria is set for "Qualifer = "YES", then it chooses the record (correctly), but syndicates all entries from the table.
    Thanks in advance!
    Don

    Try using
    <b>Filter Qualified Links</b> in the <b>Map Properties</b> of the Syndicator.
    If activated, syndication results contain only the data selected in the Selection Pane.
    Tick the check box under the Value Column for that property. By default that check box is not selected. You have to check it.
    This works similar to the 'Filter' check box of the MDM Data Manger.
    Limitation as of SP04
    - One Global setting per map for qualified links plus one global setting per map for multi-valued lookups.

  • Qualifier values are not part of a qualified lookup record

    Hi
         I am getting the exception "Qualifier values are not part of a qualified lookup record" when I serach for a record in the Qualified table. The Table has both Qualfier and non-Qualifier fields, but all are of type display fields.
    My question is If the filed is of type Qualifier then is it mandatory that it should be non-display Field?
    if  not can any one suggest me to get the record.
    If we make Qualifier fields as NON-Dispaly fields in repository then it is working fine.
    Here with I am providing the code
                   Search serarch = new Search(repoSchemaCmd.getRepositorySchema().getTable("QT_NOTES").getId());
                   serarch.addSearchItem(new FieldSearchDimension(repoSchemaCmd.getRepositorySchema().getFieldId("QT_NOTES","USER_PMF_ID")),new TextSearchConstraint("test", TextSearchConstraint.EQUALS));
                   ResultDefinition rd =new ResultDefinition(repoSchemaCmd.getRepositorySchema().getTable("QT_NOTES").getId());
                   //Returns the array of IDs for all display fields associated with the table
                   rd.setSelectFields(repoSchemaCmd.getRepositorySchema().getTableSchema("QT_NOTES").getDisplayFieldIds());

  • Limitations to a Lookup Property Table

    I am relatively new to Hyperion DRM. I have a question regarding any limitations to a lookup property table. How many members or rows can a look up table contain. I have a need to cross reference our sku numbers to a platform. The first thing that came to mind was a lookup property, but it could contain several thousand members. That would seem to be too much in my mind. Would an alternate hierarchy be more efficient?

    Product Hierarchy
    Partno123
    Partno456
    -----these have a value in the Product Line Property
    *Example of a Lookup Hierarchy for Product Line - One Top Node and all leafs below
    Product Line Hierarchy
    (leaf) Product Line 1
    (leaf) Product Line 2
    (leaf) Product Line 3
    You create a validation on the Product Line Property in the Product Hierarchy that uses the function ExistsInHierarchy which returns a T or F. The validation fires when you enter a value for the Product Line Property in the Product Hierarchy. If the Value exists in the Product Line Hierarchy, then the Boolean property you ctreate for the validation will be T and the value is accepted; if it does not exist it will return a F and you would put out the Message: Invalid Product Line - Entered Product Line does not Exist in the Product Line Hieraqrchy.
