Syndication Issue Very Yrgent.

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have a problem in syndication. I have a main table PROD, under which there is a field of type Lookup Main (Trade Item). The main table Trade Item has a field Global Destination of type Tuple. During Item mapping for main table PROD in the Syndicator I have mapped all the fields in this table including Lookup Main (Trade Item) and Tuple field of this table Global Destination. But when I syndicate and save the records as a XML file, the tuple segment is missing in the XML. But I am able to see those records in Destination preview. Please help.

Thanks,

Hi,

You need to add static text value 1 in ‘Destination Items’ tab for that particular segment.

Hi Thamiz,

Try the following -

• Test using a larger data set
• review map propeties
• Create one correct record or select one correct record having no blank Tuple entries or other inconsistency and use it for test.
• Verify the repository.

Please Let me know the results.

Thanks,

Hi Ravi,

Thanks for the reply. I have mapped all the fields under Global Destination but left to map the repeatable node.

Hi Ravi,

Now I have one more issue. I am creating the syndication maps for GDS system. Currently there is a Non SAP system which is getting replaced with GDS. I had created a new XML, new map and a new port. But now when I do the syndication the records are not reaching the PI. But already existing ports are working fine to the Non SAP system but the newly created port is not sending the records to PI.

But when I syndicate, the records are getting syndicated successfully but they are not reaching PI. Where actually I can track these records or where can I be going wrong? Please help.

Hi Thamiz,

Did you go under a upgrade?

Please check if the segment for Global Destination has SEGMENT data,it should not be empty.

As a workaround, you can go to syndication map's output item properties tab and set the static text property for the SEGMENT attributes to "1".

This will make it required to generate this segment.

Coming to other issue,please check if -

• xmls are going to PI but failing
• If files not reaching the folder then the write rights of MDM on the folder,you could need a basis help here

PLease let me know your findings.

Hi Thamizharasi,

Probably you can ask your PI team to check all the settings in PI system.

Need to check if new created port is being listened by PI system or not.

Check if FTP path is maintained correctly.

Hi Ankush,

By FTP do you mean the ready folder? What is this FTP folder? can you please give me a brief on that?

Thanks,

HI Thamizharasi,

FTP folder path is basically the path from where file will be picked i.e. Ready folder of the Port.

It will contain full path starting with Server Name/root/further folders etc..

You would need to mention this path in PI system so that specified location could be scanned and files could be picked. Please contact your PI team for details as they would be knowing regarding this.

Thanks and Regards,

Ankush, Thanks for that. Now since I am trying it out for the new syndication map will there be any configuration that I should do from MDM side apart from creating the new port? Is the port number which gets allocated during the creation of the repository is sufficient for this?

And one more doubt, if the port palces the XML file exactly at Ready folder, how the XML file will be picked from that foldder to PI? Does it happen automatically or will there be any scripts making it happen?

HI Thamizharasi,

Port Number during creation of repository is different than this port.

You just need to create Port in repository and syndication map needs to be attached to this port.

Regarding your second question i am not aware of the functionality from PI side.

Please check with someone from your team.

Hi Thamiz,

Ofcourse PI side configurations will have to be done like communication channel creation,mappings,adapter configurations,Interfaces etc

Easiest way would be to check Archive folder,if you have the files posted there then it means they have been picked by PI from Ready and a copy has been archived in the Archive folder.by PI.

Hi Ravi,

Exactly thats what is happening. I could see the file in Archive folder. But the same is not available in PI. The wonder is the syndicated records are all getting processed and rreaching the target system for all the ports except for the one which we have created newly. And since the records reaching the archive folder there are no issues on the MDM side as well. What possible error or mistake could be there on the PI side?

Thanks,

Hi Thamiz,

So it seems MDM sends data successfully to PI,PI does pick it but it fails in PI or due to wrong configurations is not delivered to correct target system.

The sender receiver agreement does following -

- refers respective communication channels through which data will be send/received to/from systems party.

- to insert some security options like validation of message signature

- to validate the sending/receiving message against to the structure defined in repository

- to show message was sent/received via alias [ header mapping]

Here,I think you should find if the communication channels and other Interface configurations are done in PI,message monitoring can help to see if messages are failing and find out if there is an alert monitoring set up,which could help when there is message failing.

PLease refer these for help -

To be honest it is often the case of missing configurations

PLease let me know your findings.

Hi Ravi,

Thanks for the reply. The issue was with PI configuration only:).
