Master Data Services :: Setting Read Permission On Entity Attribute Makes Model Disappear
May 21, 2013
My company is new to MDS. I am trying to set an attritube in an entity to read only so the users can't change the value in that field. When I did that, the whole model disappeared. I thought I had deleted it by accident so I created a test model and tried to do the same. The test model disappeared. This time, before saving the new settings I took a snapshot. After saving I took another snapshot. You can see that the whole model is gone (zz_RN_Permissions_Test). I tried every other coworker with admin rights and nobody shows it on the Models list. The behavior on the Excel add-in is correct. I can't change any values on that column. But I need to keep the models available.
See before and after snapshots below.

I have an entity (A), in which I use domain based attribute. The second entity (B) has several attributes. My problem is that, I would like to filter the first entity (A) based on an attribute that belongs to the second entity. The only way I can filter it (in MDS Excel add-in or Explorer) is by using Code or Name from the second entity.
I have in mind a couple of solutions, but they require some coding with xml saved query from Excel.

My problem seems simple but I can't how to do it with MDS... or even if it's possible !
I've got 2 entities "Agent" and "Function".
"Agent" has a code, a name, and an attribute called "function_code" which refers to "Function"'s code
"Function" as a code and a name. Name is the description of the function.
I'd like to see in a single row :
"Code", "Name", "Funcion_code" and "Name" (the last one from the entity "Function").
In SQL it will something like
Select a.code, a.name, a.function_code, f.name
from agent a, function f
where a.function_code = f.code
I've tried with explicit hierarchy, derived hierarchy, consolidated members...
I was able to have an entity with all those attributes but I can choose the attribute I want. My goal is that, according to "Function_code" in Agent, I get the "Name" of the function...

I used "MDSModelDeploy deployclone" do deploy a package with EntityA, EntityB and EntityC to a production environment. I then deleted EntityB from my dev environment and used "MDSModelDeploy deployupdate" do update the model in prodution. After the deployUpdate, EntityB still exists in production. Is there something special I need to do (option of MDSModelDeploy?) in order for the deploy to delete an entity during a migration?

I have an API which uses the MDS WCF methods to update and insert entity members into MDS. Its working as expected. But whenever a entity member is inserted or updated, the validation flag is set to "requires re-validation" (With "?" symbol). Is there a setting which has to be set to validate the record once inserted or updated by API? Or should it be validated explicitly once the insert or update happens?

I've selected a domain-based attribute for one of the leaf member attributes in the same entity, aka parent id, since it's a self-referencing entity. However, I cannot find a way to display anything but the code value in the drop-down (see below).
Is there a way to change the display value so that I can choose the attribute from the entity from which I want the user to choose? In other words, I would like to display the hierarchy name instead of the code, which is really just the primary id.

Env: SQL Server 2012
I'd like to import some tables into MDS entities.
So I found MDSModelImport Program.
Importing is worked. And I confirmed to imported columns of tables as leaf Attributes.
I tried to insert data. But In Explorer Leaf Attributes are not shown except Code and Name.
So I couldn't insert data. In Excel also it does.

Using MDS 2012: I have an entity "XYZ_Entity". In "XYZ_Entity" entity I have 2 domain based Columns "DealerGroup" and "Dealer".
While inserting information into "XYZ_Entity" entity user can select the required dealer group from domain base Dealer Group values. Now for selecting Dealer he wants the dealers to be filter based on selected dealer group and he can select from the filtered list. reason to do that is he don't want to go through thousands of dealers and select an incorrect one.
Is it possible, if yes then how?

I need to create a member that one of its Attributes (maybe my term is wrong) is a reference to another entity member named group
the code
createRequest.Members.MemberType = MemberType.Leaf;
createRequest.Members.Members = new System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<Member> { };
Member aNewMember = new Member();
aNewMember.MemberId = new MemberIdentifier() { Name = uag.groupName, MemberType = MemberType.Leaf };
[code]....
"The attribute data type is not valid".Is it wrong to add the reference as attribute? How can I embed the reference in the new member?

I am getting ErrorCode 8 while loading the data from stage to model. I have checked my error view it states that "Member Code is Inactive".
Initially I have loaded same set of data in Model from MDS Stage table but then deleted with ImportType = 5 which removed all the data from the MDM model.
Now i want to load it back but its giving the Error Code 8 .. Before loading the same data i have changed the stage table Importtype to 2 and Importstatusid to 0.

We have an install of SQL MDS 2016 CTP3 which I can access via the web browser and create models etc. I have uninstalled the Excel add-in for 2012 and installed the MDS 2016 CTP3 add-in on Excel 2010. I am able to create a MDS connection and the "Test" reports success in Excel.
However, when I try to connect to a model via the Master Data Explorer to load an entity, Excel hangs with the message "Loading objects for xxxx_Model". My only option is to close Excel via the Task Manager.
Where do I look for more detailed logs? Is there a switch I can use to provide a better debugging experience?

Can i have a combination of sources some with Unique Identifiers and some without?
I need to know what happens when I have option “Create Code values automatically” selected for the entity and same time pulling Unique Identifier for other sources in same entity stage table.
When we select option “Create Code values automatically” for the entity we creates, then during load from external source to MDM stage we don’t send any values to MDM stage “Code” field and in next step when we execute the stored procedure to load the data from MDM stage to MDM model, it assigns the Code values to each record in MDM stage and MDM model.
I need to know whether after executing the store procedure, will it assign Code values for only NULL records in MDM stage and not give us any error for the records that already have Code values present in MDM stage.

I have two textboxes. Based on the value in one textbox I want to show the value in other one or not. So
If Textbox1 has null value (from db) then Textbox2 shoululd be blank.
So I go to the properties of Textbox2 and write this code in the visibility tab for the expression radio button.
Suppose Textbox2 holds Fields!NewValAmt.Value from db
=IIf(Fields!NewValAmt.Value is nothing , False, True).
But this code never sets the visibility to true even if there is non null value for that field.
Any help will be appreciated.

I haven't started of course to use SQL yet,cause i have to make the e-r model first.
I have a a question to make :
For example i have to keep data for a Personal Computer (PC)
So i have the entity : COMPUTER
COMPUTER has many characteristics/fields like the primary key which is going to be PC_ID and it's unique for every computer,NAME_OF_PC the name and also TYPE_OF_MOTHERBOARD, TYPE_OF_RAM, TYPE_OF_HARD_DISK etc.
I have to keep for the TYPE_OF_MOTHERBOARD the manufacturer, the motherboard's code etc.
Shall i make an entity for the motherboard or for the HARD_DISK or for the RAM?
Cause i want next to change these fields of every COMPUTER if it's n eeded!
e.g. i have the PC_ID = 12 and i want to change the hard disk cause it's not working!(shall i keep an entity of the hard disk or not?)
Can sm advise me what i shall do?

Hi,
I have many lookup tables in my report model. I have tried renaming these fields to more accurately represent the attributes meaning to the end user but I'm having trouble with it.
Here's an example:
I have a table which contains two fields; OfficalGrade and SpecifiedGrade. Both are FK integer values pointing to a Grades lookup table with GradeID as the PK.
In the report builder, the official grade and specified grade fields are both being displayed as GradeID so it's impossible for the user to tell which is which.
In the report model, the Grades Entity has a role for Offical Grade and another for Specified Grade. I've checked both of their properties but I cannot find a setting which will allow me rename the value that is available to the end user.
I'd greatly appreciate any advice on fixing this!

Hi, all,
Why I got different results for the same attribute value displayed in my mining model? Any suggestions on what I may have missed for that?
In my case, the mining structure is with case table which is the fact table, within this mining structure, I dragged other attributes from its related dimensional tables as well. E.g The schema of the mining structure is as below:
.........................................................................................
Fact events key (key of the case fact table)
Agent type (attribute dragged from its related dimension table, which is not the key attribute of that dimension table)
Agent level (attribute dragged from its related dimension table, and it is not the key attribute of that dimension table as well)
......and other attributes dragged from its related dimension tables.
.......................................................................................
Then in my training model (using Microsoft Clustering algorithm), the content contained within the training model is very strange, e.g there are different results for the same value of attribute 'Agent Level' . Why did that happen and how can I figure it out? There should only one result for each value of each attribute within one mining model?
Please shed me some light on this issue and I am looking forward to hearing from you shortly for your kind advices and thanks a lot in advance.
With best regards,
Yours sincerely,

Hi,
I have found that in the autogenerated model attributes are missing for those fields that have relations to other tables. At first, it may look reasonable since a user can still get down to the field's value through the relation/related table. However, if the relation's key fields is the only thing the user wants to display, then going down to the related table is an overkill.
I can add an attribute manually and bind it to the key field(s). Is there an option in the autogeneration process to do it automatically? The only post I've found so far suggests to do everything manually (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1152575&SiteID=1). Is this the only way?
Thank you,
Leonid

I am trying to create an opportunity report that includes notes from the notes entity. Unfortunatly, when I pull the fields from the notes entity into my reports, it seems there is no way to tie the notes to specific opportunities or accounts that they are associated with and I get all notes under the first item listed on my report. Is there a way to link data sets like Access lets you link tables?

I've been quite excited about SQL Server MDS that should allow non-IT staff to easily maintain data. However maintaining data that have many-to-many relationships seems to be quite a pain. I believe the best way is:
Open up your MDS web interfaceGo to entities > product (for example)Add a new member and fill the details Click "product parts" in the bottom right "Related Entities" partAdd a new memberTry and find the product you just created from the dropdownlistSelect the first part and click OKAgain try and find the product you have created from the dropdownlistSelect the second part and click OKRepeat...Close the tab on your browser and finish your product entity.How I wish it worked:
Open up your MDS web interfaceGo to entities > product (for example)Add a new member and fill the detailsCheck a checkbox for each part visible under "product parts" in the bottom right "Related Entities" partFinish your product entity.

Everytime I run the load packages that I have built into the MDS staging the tables, in MDS_Staging, get cleared down and then repopulated. When the MDS database gets new data it appends it and does not clear down the data that is already in the database and is there fore hold duplicate rows.
Is there a way of truncating the tables in the MDS database before populating again with the new data from the MDS_Staging database so as to not hold duplicate rows?

Perhaps this task is not for MDS.... But another tool for rapid development & startUp - we don't have. And nevertheless....
We created table managers_plan in MDS :
year
month
id_manager (domain attr)
POS (domain attr)
plan_sum_USD
plan_unit
----------------------------
Entities:
Managers ~ 800 records
POS ~ 100 000 records
managers_plan Total records for
1 year = 100K x 12 = 1 200 000
managers_plan - table partitions
- Will bemade ?
