Loading eClass or UNSPSC into Hierarchy, remote key isn't generated

[Former Member]

Hello Experts,

I tried importing eCl@ss and/or UNSPSC into the hierarchy table.

The import works fine and the hierarchy is created.

But the import manager doesn't generates the remote key for the choosen remote system.

Hello,

I have solved the problem. The mistake was matching the eclass name and the remote key in the "Value Matching" tab.

So the blog "How to import the eClass Taxonomy in SAP MDM" has a little mistake.

Hi,

I already did everything what you described. I'm using an Access file as input source.

I'll try it again with an CSV. Maybe it helps.

Hi,

Just try mapping the original eclass number field to remote key and clone field to eclass number.the import and check in DM.

Also check that your source is updatable(it is not excel or OBDC)

Hi Sven,

- If you are trying to Import the eCl@ss and/or UNSPSC into the hierarchy table from an input sources which contains unique key for each record.Then you will need to enable the key mapping as Yes in MDM for the respective MDM table and then in IM you will need to map this unique remote key to the destination <Remote Key> field in the MDM IM->Field mapping tab and then use this Remote key for importing the unique records into MDM.This will make available the Key from the source system to identify the records.

- However if you wish the keys to be generated by MDM for these records as no such unique keys are available from the source system.Then you can do so by seeting the Range for teh key generation under the Remote system property.But these assigned keys will only be visisble at syndication.

Hope It Helped

Hi,

yes, I am talking about populating a remote key through Import manager.

I mapped the remote key. But it isn't created in the database. I checked it with the data manager using "edit remote key".

I imported the data following the instructions described in:

Hi,

Import manager will not generate any remote key. Remote keys re generated only when your are trying to sydnciate out a record to aselected remote system.

If you are talking about populating remote key through Import manager check if you have <Remote Key> field mapped in yout Import map.
