Hello Ninad,

I am a little late but maybe my code helps to understand a little!

I am Writing into a Record that i retrieved by a search at an earlier point.

Then I define the FieldId that should be changed and the Value that it should be. the Value must be a MdmValue Type.

The Code works fine for me.

	/**
	 * Method to write record to MDM
	 * @param ProductRecord - the Record the value should be written to
	 * @param FieldToBeWritten - the FieldId that the value should be written to
	 * @param ValueToBeWritten - MDMValue that should be written
	 * @return Boolean that indicates if writing was successfully 
	 **/
	public boolean writeRecord(Record ProductRecord, FieldId FieldToBeWritten, MdmValue ValueToBeWritten){
		// Change Data
		try {
			ProductRecord.setFieldValue(FieldToBeWritten, ValueToBeWritten);
		} catch (IllegalArgumentException e1) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e1.printStackTrace();
			return false;
		} catch (MdmValueTypeException e1) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e1.printStackTrace();
			return false;
		}
		// Create the command to commit record
		ModifyRecordCommand mrcTest = new ModifyRecordCommand(mdmcon.getCpConnectionPool());
		mrcTest.setRecord(ProductRecord);
		mrcTest.setSession(mdmcon.getSession());
		mrcTest.setModifyAnyway(false);
		try {
			mrcTest.execute();
		} catch (CommandException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
			return false;
		}
		return true;
	}

Hi Ninad,

For create:

Please try CreateEmptyRecordCommand. Set the table ID before executing the command.

Here, you just specify TableID. It will create a new Record into that table.

If you provide RecordID for CreateEmptyRecordCommand, it will give you reference of existing record.

For Update:

First you will have to use CreateEmptyRecordCommand with the existing recordID.

You will get "Record" as output of this.

Then, you can use ModifyRecordCommand where Record is a mandatory parameter.

Hi,

Michal: In examples creating / updating record is not present and I am not able to open the pdf you mentioned it gives me error pdf is damaged is there any other place where I can find the pdf ?

Mausam: I am using Java API 2 and not able to find the class CreateEmptyRecordCommand but there is one class called CreateRecordCommand can I use the same or is there any other way for that?

Is possible for you to paste the code here so that I can get better idea.

Thanks

Ninad

Hi Ninad,

Sorry to misguide you on that.

Please check class<a href="http://help.sap.com/javadocs/MDM/current/com/sap/mdm/data/RecordFactory.html">RecordFactory</a> and try the function CreateEmptyRecord.

Hope this helps.

Hi Ninad,

You dont have create RecordFactory class instance. The methods in the class are Static. Just type in the class name and call the method.

Hi Mausam,

Thanks a lot for your help I could able to add a empty record in it but now I want to have values in it. and I think we can do it by setFieldValue method of record but for that I need a MdmValue type value for this method and I could not able to create new Mdm value can you please help me in this case?

Thanks

Hi Ninad,

You need to StringValue(for text value) LookUpValue(for Look up value) and similarly other classes.

all these classes implement MDMValue .

HI Ninad,

Even i am trying to insert values into a record.

I am trying to insert value into a Look Up Table, i understood that by using setFieldValue.

i have created an Empty Record by using Create Empty Record command,then i need to insert values into it.

If u have any idea please share with me,any peice of code?

With Thanks,

hi,

did you have a look at those two:

this one contains many examples in ZIP file:

MDM 5.5 SP05 - Java API Examples (ZIP File) - changed: 06/26/2006

https://websmp101.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000535912007E

this is an overall example:

is that what you need?
