MDM 321 – SAP Netweaver Master Data Management

Symptom
After importing 3000 records into an empty MDM main table, only 2969 records appear in the Data Manager when looking at the main table.
Other terms
CSN 2790606
Reason and Prerequisites
Import Manager and Import Server actually import 2969 records from the source file although they both declared to import 3000 records. Import Manager has 3000 in the Default Import Action and Import Server log file declared that “Import action: Create: 3000″
Solution
This is MDM Import (Import Manager and Import Server) correct behavior.
The import tool shows a greater number of records since finding duplicated records is preformed only when the Import process is actually executed and its embedded within the import process in run-time. (To find the duplicated record you can import the source file into MS-Accesses.)

Symptom
Import Server fails to load the file with the following error message: “Can’t find even one field that is mapped.”

Solution
The issues is that the wrong delimiter is defined.
For example:
The source file has a “;” (semi-colon) for a delimiter but the port is set up as “|”. Please change the delimiter in the port to match the source file (or visa-versa) and the file will then be imported correctly via the Import Server.

Symptom
The import server fails and the following error, or similar, is written in the log file under the distribution folder:
Error: The import map is not complete:1. Missing the XML Root Element.2. There are multiple root elements defined in the xml schema.Solution: Please select the proper root element via the IM GUI then save the map.

Solution
Connect to the source as you did previously and open the map. Once the
map has been opened save the map again and then rerun the import server.
