External List Management with marketing attributes

[fabian_huber]

Hello everybody,

I'm using the external list management to import contact person data to the CRM 2007. I've created a mapping format for the neccessary data fields. My data file also contains columns for marketing attributes which are also mapped. Certainly some of the marketing attribute values are empty

When I now run the step "Map data", I get some error messages for the empty marketing attributes: The message is:

" is not a valid value for marketing attribute ...".

I want, that the import jumps over the empty marketing attribute and doesn't produce an error message in the Map-data-step.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Fabian

Hi Fabian

I have discussed this with SAP, and it seams like they do not want to change this. The validation of the marketing attributes are handled in method CHECK_ATR in class CL_CRM_MKTLIST_MR_CONV_ATTR, and I think you could implement your own logic here, where you delete entries without any values.

The upload can be debugged by adding parameter CRM_DEBUG_CODE with value MKTLIST.
