Workflow notification on importing to hierarchy table

Hi!
I came on the following problem:
I use MDM Import Server to load some records from XML-files to flat and hierarchy tables. And I also want to receive e-mail notification with the list of imported records when import is finished.
So for each of the table (flat and hierarchy) I created a workflow, an import map and a port. Every workflow consists of the following steps:
Start-> Notify->Stop.
In the Body property of the Notify step I used variable %Records% to display the list of imported records in the text of e-mail notification.
But when I imported to flat table everything worked fine and I got e-mail notification with the list of records, but when I tried to import to the hierarchy table, the records from the file were imported to the table, the workflow was triggered, but I didn't receive any notification.
But when I used in the Body property of the Notify step simple text without variable %Records%, the notification came. But I need to receive the list of imported records.
How to solve this problem? Can MDM send notifications with the list of records imported to hierarchy table?
Thanks,
Vika

Is it possible to use MDIS to import to hierarchy tables?

Hello everybody!
Tell me, please,is it possible to import records into hierarchy tables using MDIS?
The imported XML-file looks like this:
<data>
<row>
<NAME>Some Name</NAME>
<DATA_UPD>01.27.2006</DATA_UPD>
<HIER>03000000000\03408000000\03408553000</HIER>
</row>
<row>
</row>
</data>
The field HIER in my XML-file contains delimited values to build hierarchy. I tried to import, but MDIS blocks the port with Value Exception.
P.S. I set MDIS Unmapped Value Handling option to "Add" to automatically add missing values to hierarchy table.
Thanks,
Vika

Hi!
Jasbir, Dilmit, thanks for your answers!
But while configuring mapping of fields of my XML-file to hierarchy table fields in Import Manager I found an option "Set MDIS Unmapped Value Handling" which can be set to Ignore (default), Add, Map or Fail. If I set this option to Add, it offers to "Add Target Node for Unmapped Values in MDIS Mode". So, I expect that selecting some node shows MDIS to which node it should add all new unmapped values.
The imported XML-file structure looks like this:
<data>
<row>
<NAME>Some Name</NAME>
<DATA_UPD>01.27.2006</DATA_UPD>
<HIER>03000000000\03408000000\03408553000</HIER>
</row>
<row>
</row>
</data>
1. I splited HIER field into hierarchy using "Split into Hierarchy" command.
2. Then mapped HIER<Split Hierarchy> field to CODE field of my resulting hierarchy table.
3. Then for CODE field I set "MDIS Unmapped Value Handling" option to Add and chose the node to which add unmapped values.
4. Then I tuned matching fields.
5. Saved the map.
6. Configured port (of type Automatic).
7. Added XML-file to the port.
The result of import (using MDIS) into hierarchy table is that the CODE field is filled with hierarchical values, but all other fields are empty. And MDIS blocks the port with Value Exception.
So, I embarrassed by this: on the one hand, MDIS imports some values and even builds the hierarchy correctly, but from the other hand, the import doesn't finish.
Can anyone explain this to me?
Thanks in advance,
Vika

Can we import multiple language descriptions in Hierarchy tables of MDM

Hello Experts,
I am using MDM 7.1 SPS4 and working on the Vendor Repository standard content.
My source file of Regions table contains data in multiple languages for each region record. All the required destination language fields have been mapped properly in the standard map. Import action is set to 'Create' for new records and 'Update Mapped only fileds' for existing records. Matching criteria has Name<English> filed defined in it.
However, after importing these hierarchy records, in data manager only the Name description of English is populated while all other language descriptions for the same record is shown in Red (i.e not populated with the expected data).
Is this a limitation of MDM itself or am I missing some setting?
Thanks in advance,
Elizabeth.

Hi Elizabeth,
steps for importing into hierarchy tables
To add new multilingual records:
1 If necessary, create the hierarchy from the current language layer Name field that contains the hierarchy information (e.g. using the Split Hierarchy command).
2Map the current language layer Name field and then Map/Add the entire set of hierarchy values.
3 Map the other language layer Name field(s). No value mapping is necessary.
4 Map the [Remote Key] field.
5 Record match using: (a) the Name field; (b) the [Remote Key] field (if the Name field was not value mapped); or (c) the combination of both.
To update the language layer of existing records:
Map the other language layer Name field(s). No value mapping is necessary.
Map the [Remote Key] field.
Record match using the [Remote Key] field and set the import action to Update (All Mapped Fields).
Just try and if you need any other info then please get back to me.
Thanks,

Key Mapping in Hierarchy Table

Hi,
I have enabled the Key Mapping = Yes for Hierarchy table. But when I imported the records to the Hierarchy table, I am not seeing any key mapping info for the Hierarchy table records. Any thoughts?. Key mapping does not work for Hierarchy tables?.
Thanks
Job.

Hi Job
Key mappings work fine with hierarchy table as well.What was the means of import for hierarchy table. If you have used a excel file and while connecting to Import manager which remote system you selected. If you have used MDM as remote system key mapping will be blank. we need to add the record key mappings. Select all the records in record mode for hierarchy table and edit key mappings.
Also which mode you are ssing the records. This will not come in hierarchy mode, select record mode and check the edit key mapping functionality.
Please award if useful.

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

How to create a HTML Table in Workflow Notification ?

Hi,
I have a requirement to display multiple records in a HTML table in Workflow Notification. I have developed the code. In my Notification, I am seeing HTML tags and not a formatted HTML report. Appreciate your help and comments.
The following is what I have done in WF.
1. Define attribute in WF of type Document
2. Define Message in Text Body ( Should i also copy the same thing in HTML Body ??)
The following is my PL/SQL
Variable l_table is defined as varchar2(30000)
-- HTML Table Heading
l_table := '<table><tr><td>Amount</td>
<td>Description</td>
<td>Type 1099</td>
</tr>';
WF_ENGINE.SetItemAttrText(itemtype,
itemkey,
'FRB_DISTRIBUTION_HISTORY',
l_table);
When I get a notification, I get the following sample
<table><tr><td>Amount</td>
<td>Description</td>
<td>Type 1099</td>
<td>Receipt Required Flag</td>
<td>Invoice Id</td>
<td>Invoice Distribution Id</td>
</tr><tr><td>100</td>
<td></td>
<td>MISC7</td>
<td></td>
<td>429684</td>
<td>464834</td>
</tr></table>
I am missing something, Can you please let me know, what am i missing.

Hi Matt,
I am working on AP_WFAPPROVAL_PKG (Oracle EBS Invoice Approval Package).
I have defined a Workflow Attribute as Type 'Document' (in Workflow Builder)
In my AP_WFAPPROVAL_PKG Package, I am retrieving my values and returning it to a variable of type varchar2(32000) and seting the WF variable(displayed below).
WF_ENGINE.SetItemAttrText(itemtype,
itemkey,
'FRB_DISTRIBUTION_HISTORY', -- This is my WF Attribute of type 'Document'
l_table);
When I see the notification, i get the format displayed below (I do see the correct values generated, but they appear as tag, and not as a HTML Table Report)
<table><tr><td>Amount</td>
<td>Description</td>
<td>Type 1099</td>
<td>Receipt Required Flag</td>
<td>Invoice Id</td>
<td>Invoice Distribution Id</td>
</tr> <tr><td>60</td>

if you have any PDF's on every Import operation in the MDM please provide to me.
It will be greatful for me.
Thanks in Advance.......
bharat.chinthapatla

Hi bharat,
if your source data is like this ex:
1. Consumables & Maintenance Solutions;Cleaning, Freshening & Softening;Cleaners;Cleaner Compounds
2. Hand, Power, Machine, & Measuring Tools;Assembly & Fastening;Wrenches;Manual Wrenches;Manual Wrench Parts & Accessories
you can follow this process:
1. select the category and right click, in the context menu set the split delimeter, in that choose split hierarchy.
2. select the category and right click, from the context menu select split into hierarchy.
3. In Map fields/values tab, in source fields you will see new split hierachy field, map this field to corresponding destination cateory field.
4. in values pane, you can see the source values in a hierarchy.
5. Map these values to the corresponding destination values, other wise you can add to the destination in a new category, ( select the source values node and click on add button and you can selcect Add branch as child Or Add branch as sibling)
6. Once value mapping is over, do the importing and you can see these results in Data manager Taxonomy mode.
as you said: you have data like field1 field 2 field 3
You have to select all the fields in Import Manager which u need to hierarchies and select the option Create Hierarchy field . You will see a new popup window in which you have to fill the fields like ( parent field/ child filed and node) and your hierarchy will be created.
hope this may help You,

Attach document as a link in oracle workflow notification

Hi,
I have a requirement to attach a word document stored as BLOB in database as a link in workflow notification.The link (document) should be visible and opened both from the workflow notification in the workflow admin notification queue and notification mail the approver receives.
I am getting the document from fnd_lobs and storing it in the item attribute of type Document.
Please help me how to attach the item attribute of type Document as a link in the notification.
This is urgent and any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks
David

For attaching a document you need to perform the following steps
1. The document type item attribute which is referred by message attribute must have the value in the form
PLSQLBLOB:SA_MLRTST.GETBLOBDOCUMENT/&DOC_ID
where SA_MLRTST.GETBLOBDOCUMENT is the PL/SQL procedure that generates a PL/SQL BLOB
DOC_ID is an attribute representing the file_id column in fnd_lobs table
2. The procedure GETBLOBDOCUMENT() must be of the form
CREATE OR REPLACE package body SA_MLRTST
as
procedure getBlobDocument(document_id in varchar2,
content_type in varchar2,
document in out nocopy blob,
document_type in out nocopy varchar2)
is
l_docid pls_integer;
l_filename varchar2(100);
l_errmsg varchar2(100) := 'The Document is not found in the Database';
l_bdoc blob;
l_data_type varchar2(100);
begin
l_docid := to_number(document_id);
dbms_lob.CreateTemporary(l_bdoc, FALSE, DBMS_LOB.Session);
select file_data
into l_bdoc
from fnd_lobs
where id = l_docid;
dbms_lob.Copy(document, l_bdoc, dbms_lob.getLength(l_bdoc));
exception
when others then
dbms_lob.WriteAppend(document, length(l_errmsg), l_errmsg);
wf_core.context('SA_MLRTST','getBLOBDoc',document_id);
raise;
end getBlobDocument;
end SA_MLRTST;

How to transform data from hierarchy table to taxonomy table?

Hi Friends
Regarding my issue:
1) I am having data in the hierarchy table which contains two fields(i.e. code, description) , now we have created another taxonomy table which contains two fields(i.e. code,description) same as hierarchy table.
2) hierarchy table only contains data, which we have imported data into hierarchy table using import manager. we don't have data in the taxonomy table.
3) now my issue is,we have to move that hierachical data in the hierarchy table to taxonomy without using import manager, only through the data manager using validations and assignments.
4) If any one have solution to this issue, please help me out.
Thanks in Advance

Multiple attachments in Workflow Notification

Hi All,
We are trying to attach multiple(Two) files to the workflow notification. We are able to get the two attachments. But the problem is in the notification from front end both the attachments are opening the same file, where as the attachments in the outlook are showing different contents and the file name is same for both the attachments.
Please can anyone help us in this. This is very urgent requirment.
Thanks,
Varun

Hi Jubish/Venkat
1. I iterated this fucntion moudule to store the multiple attachments to the workflow
SAP_WAPI_ATTACHMENT_ADD
2. Call this FM to get the attachemnts form the workflow (pass workitem Item id which is used for storing the attchments). SAP_WAPI_GET_ATTACHMENTS
from above you will get objkey for each attachment as output in table.
3. Pass the objkey to this FM to get the contents
SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1'. this will retrun the content of the attachment either in object_content, contents_hex.
4. Pass the Obtained content to SCMS_BINARY_TO_XSTRING to get the disired format.

Personas and extended workflow notifications

Hi Personas users.
We have gone live with our first Personas business process which is effectively a service desk ticketing system based on PM notifications and equipment records. My users are very happy with the solution but as expected they want more!
I have been asked to setup workflows for the notifications, this is no problem as I can simply use the OOTB notification workflows, however the requirement I have is to employ extended workflow notifications, i.e. send the workflow notifications to Outlook.
After setting this up and messing about with the host URL settings in the extended workflow setup (SWNADMIN) we have managed to get URL link in the email to launch the Personas app within NWBC... however it doesn't find the flavour for the transaction it finds the basic view.
Does anyone else have this setup and managed to get it to work ... if so how?
Many thanks,
Neil

Hi Steve,
I have shortlinks setup for these transactions, they are necessary for deploying Personas flavours via NWBC. Thing is the URLs that end up on the email are generated by SAPs extended notifications function, so the shortlinks aren't really useful here. unless there is a way to get the extedned notifications feature to somehow query the shortlinks table... I suspect this would be custom code.
Something tells me that what I'm after isn't a standard feature, hopefully Sushant or one of the other SAP folks will clarify.
thanks

KIMYONG: Outbound Workflow Notification Event Message 를 tracking하는 방법

Purpose
Outbound Workflow Notification Event Message 가 발송됐으나 user가 받아보지 못한경우 가 발생했으나 user
이를 tracking하는 방법을 알아보고자 한다.
Solution
1. notification 이 발송될때 oracle.apps.wf.notification.send event발생한다
event key 로 Notification ID 를 사용한다.
2. 다음 조건에서만 The e-mail notification이 발송된다.
i) Notification status is OPEN or CANCELED
ii) Notification mail_status is MAIL or INVALID
SELECT status, mail_status
FROM wf_notifications
WHERE notification_id = '&nid';
iii) Recipient Role has a valid e-mail address and notification preference is in the format MAIL%
SELECT email_address,
nvl(WF_PREF.get_pref(name, 'MAILTYPE'),notification_preference)
FROM wf_roles
WHERE name = upper('&recipient_role');
iv) Workflow Deferred Agent Listener is running
v) Workflow Notification Mailer is running
3. e-mail로 발송되기전 message가 2번 정지한다.
Raised --> WF_DEFERRED Queue --> Processed by Deferred Agent Listener --> WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT Queue --> Processed by Notification Mailer and sent as e-mail
4. oracle.apps.wf.notification.send을 dispatch 할때 error가 발생하면
message 는WF_ERROR queue에 enqueue되고 .
Error Agent Listener 가 WF_XML.Error_Rule 을 수행하는 oracle.apps.wf.notification.send 의
ERROR subscription 을 dispatch합니다.
5. notification id 와 WF_DEFERRED and WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue 의 message stauts 등을 확인하기 위해 $FND_TOP/sql/wfmlrdbg.sql 를 수행합니다.
PROCESSED in WF_DEFERRED - The message is enqueued to WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT
PROCESSED in WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT - The message is sent as e-mail
READY in WF_DEFERRED - Check if Deferred Agent Listener is running
READY in WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT - Check if Notification Mailer is running
6. notification id 의 outbound XML message 를 분석합니다.
. The wfmlrdbg.sql output provides the XML message generated by WF_XML.Generate at the time the script is run. If the original XML message used by the mailer is required to be analyzed following SQL may be used.
SELECT tab.user_data.text_lob text_lob
FROM applsys.aq$wf_notification_out tab
WHERE dbms_lob.instr(tab.user_data.text_lob,'&1') > 0
7. 필요하다면 WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue 를 rebuild 합니다.
The wfntfqup.sql script rebuilds the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue by dropping and recreating
that queue, removing pending notification messages from the WF_DEFERRED queue, and
repopulating the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue from the Oracle Workflow Notification System
tables.
Wfntfqup.sql Version >=115.9
If you have implemented Oracle Alert and the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue contains any pending
alert e-mail messages, those messages must be processed before the queue can be rebuilt. The
wfntfqup.sql script checks the queue for any alert e-mail messages and, if it finds any, the
script returns an error message that specifies how many alert e-mail messages are pending
and indicates that these messages must be processed before the script can run.
Wfntfqup.sql Version <= 115.8
If you have implemented Oracle Alert and the WF_NOTIFICATION_OUT queue contains any pending
alert e-mail messages, those messages must be processed before the queue can be rebuilt. The
wfntfqup.sql script checks the queue for any alert e-mail messages and, if it finds any,
exits without performing any changes.
Stop Notification Mailer, rebuild Mailer Queue using $FND_TOP/patch/115/sql/wfntfqup.sql.

Extractor for Product Group/Member Allocation- hierarchy (table u2013 PGMI ).

Hello experts
I am looking for standard extractor for Product Group/Member
Allocation- hierarchy (table u2013 PGMI on the ECC).
Is there a standard extractor for product group-hierarchy?
Best Regards,
Tal Shalom.

Hi Lory,
I thought the document contained an explanation of remote key mapping. Obviously it doesn't, sorry.
Setting up remote key mapping is a bit complicated.
First of all go to the MDM console and check your product category field in the main table (catalog items). Is key mapping set to "yes"?
then go to the data manager and switch to the table containing the product categories in record mode. Right click on any entry and check the remote key data. Are remote keys available for your product categories. I assume that there are no remote keys available - this is the reason the system behaves as you describe it.
Setting up remote keys for existing product categories AFAIK can only be done manually in Data Manager. Alternatively you can delete your hierarchy and create it once more, creating remote keys for every entry in the table. You can chose any remote system, it just has to be the same all the time.
In import manager you have to clode the code field of your product category (basically the material group number) and assign it once to the product category in MDM and once to the remote key.
Be sure to check your configuration in MDM Import Manager, the entry "Do not update record matching field value" needs to be set to no. Otherwise no remote keys are created.
Now you can import your categories creating your hierarchy, as usual. The remote keys are created automatically.
You should assign remote keys to all fields that should be matched in a similar way, UOM, currency etc.
Hope you could follow this brief version.
Best regards,
Marcus

Hi SDN Powered,
For Hierarchy Table - Parent/Child Value Pairs w/o Node Name just do as follows:
1) In the Source Hierarchy tree, select the Parent and Child field nodes which you want to use to build hierarchy.
2) Right-click on one of the nodes and choose Create Hierarchy Field from the context menu, or choose Source > Create Hierarchy Field from the main menu.
3) MDM opens the Create Hierarchy Field dialog box. This dialog box contains 4 feilds, viz Hierarchy Field Name, Parent Field, Child Field, and Node Name Field. In the Hierarchy Field Name, type the name for the new field.In the Parent Field, Child Field. For Parent/Child Value Pairs w/o Node Name , set the Node Name Field to None.
4) Click OK to close the Create Hierarchy Field dialog box. The MDM Import Manager creates Hierarchy using the values you have provided.
I hope I am able to solve your problem.
Thanks & Regards
