Syndicating a Hierarchy

[Former Member]

I'm trying to syndicate some records that have a hierarchy field. When syndicating the hierarchy-field, I want the full path to appear in my XML-export, so Computer>Input Devices>Keyboard. When I enable the property Hierarchy Style: Full Pathname in the Destination Items Tab, it just gives the leaf, not the entire node. Anyone got a clue what I'm doing wrong?' Btw, I'm using MDM 5.5 SP6 (5.5.60.67).

With kind regards,

Gerwin

Hi Jansen,

The setting that you have done i.e. enabling the property Hierarchy Style: Full Pathname in the Destination Items Tab is correct. But I think that you might have made a mistake in mapping the source field to the destination field.

Suppose your hierarchy field name is 'Product hierarchy' in the main table and this field is a lookup hierarchy field into the Hierarchy Table named 'Product Hierarchy' and this hierarchy table contains one field say Name.

Then do the following mapping:

Source Item Destination Item

ProductHierarchy -

---

> ItemName

|--- Name

Now map Product Hierarchy to ItemName and not Name to ItemName.

Hi Kaushik Koli,

That solved the problem. Thanks a lot,

Hi Gerwin,

You need to go to the Destination Items tab and set the value for Hierarchy style. That would fix your problem.

Syndication of hierarchy structure is quite possible, Please use the Hierarchy sytle option in Destination Item in syndicator. example, for 10 level hierarchy, put the Number of Levels in pathname from Root as 10.

Hope these helps,

Hi,

How to syndicate the hierarchy table which is not connected to the main table in XML format.

I have seen the documents available in this thread.But it has one step like creating Merge Item which needs manual intervention.

How to avoid this step and make it work.

Remember that hierarchy table is not linked to the main table.
