Catalogue ID must be specified in CSV 2.0 Upload

[Former Member]

Hi All,

If I upload a schema without the Catalogue ID specified I get the following error message

An error was detected in the CSV file (version 2.0).

This error is in row 8 with the following content:

Catalog;;;;

The SAP Help states that "Catalog ID

Leave blank. SAP Catalog Content Management (SAP CCM) ignores the catalog ID."

however this does not appear to be the case, has anyone else experienced this problem or can you upload CSV schema's without the catalogue ID present?

Regards

Chris

Hi Chris,

Catalog ID is not mandatory.

I think that your catalog structure is not correct.

Can you post your file content ?

Kind regards,

Hi Chris,

I don't know what the following 2 lines are for ????

1. Catalog;;;;

Catalog;;;;

It should rather be replaced with (<b>just an example</b>)these kind of values ::

Datatype;Special_ID;Integer

Datatype;String_ID;String

Hi Yann,

The part

1. Catalog;;;;

Catalog;;;;

is the Catalog definition line.

According to the SAp help

"Catalog Definition Line

You can use the catalog definition line to change the short descriptions for the catalog. The following table shows which information you enter in the catalog definition line:

1 Keyword Catalog

2 Catalog ID

Leave blank. SAP Catalog Content Management (SAP CCM) ignores the catalog ID.

3 Code for the catalog type

Leave blank. SAP CCM ignores the catalog type.

>3 Each column can contain one of the following:

Short description for the catalog

IDs of characteristics on catalog level

You can list the short descriptions and characteristics in any order.

You can use characteristics on catalog level to provide values for all items in the catalog.

You do not need to include predefined characteristics in the list of catalog characteristics.

However I am finding that unless I specify the catalogue ID in the Catalog definition line then my schema will not upload.

Hi Chris,

I have nerver used the catalog definition line BUT was able to load content in CCM

You should test without it...

Kind regards,

Hi Yann,

I am able to load without the catalogue definition line which is good news. I'm a bit confused as to why the Catalog ID is mandatory if using the catalogue line when it never used to be, I might log a call with OSS to see.

Thanks for your help

Chris
