Master Data Services :: Unique Identifier In MDM Profisee Stage Table
Apr 13, 2015
I am new to MDM profisee tool and currently working for Addres verification project for my organization.I wanted to clear my doubts here about Unique Identifer in Stage table and how it works.. Here what i understand till now:
Step 1) I created an Entity using MDM profisee UI and it generated a stage table in MDS database called stg.Address_leaf
Step 2) I have loaded data from external source to MDS stage table using ETL and passed Import type as 2 and Import status id as 0
Step 3) I have run store procudure system generated something stg.udp_Address_leaf to load the model and passed the version name as Version_1, Log flag as '1' and Batch tag as 'Address'
Now my below are my questions:
1) What is the field i can use in MDS stage table to populate my unique intifier value coming from source? (lets say Address_Id is my Unique value for all the records coming from source)
2) Where/how Unique Identifier is useful in this process? Will this be useful in next time load from stage to Model?
3) If i truncate and load my MDS stage table in next run and few earlier records has been updated how it will update those records in Model? will this process (code present in SP) recognize by Unique Identier column present in MDS stage table?
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.
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 developed a main report containing numerous subreports. But now I'm trying to page break on these subreports and because these subreports all have sub-sub reports, I get this error when I try to run this report..The value '22' is invalid. Valid values are between '0' and '1'. (rrRenderingError)..I am grouping on uniqueidentifers and I do not get errors on subreports that have sub-subreports. How can I avoid this error and get these subreports to page break? (I don't get any errors if I remove the page breaks).
I am working on some tables and would like to know which is best way to go when deciding what Type to use for Unique ID in my tables please. Int Or uniqueIdentifier? Or is it all the same??
May I know what does the syntax of inserting data into a field of type Unique Identifier look like?
[code] INSERT INTO THAI_MK_MT_Log(GUID, Status) VALUES ('2331486348632', 'S') [/code]
The "2331486348632" is to be inserted into a unique identifier field. If i coded the insert statement as the above, I got an error saying that "Syntax error converting from a character string to uniqueidentifier".....
We already integrated different client data to MDS with MS Excel plugin, now we want to push back updated or new added record to source database. is it possible do using MDS? Do we have any background sync process to which automatically sync data to and from subscriber and MDS?
I am doing migration from oracle11g to SQL server2012. Facing error while data migration from Oracle rowid dat typeto SQL uniqueidentifier using SSMA6.0
Errors: The given value of type String from the data source cannot be converted to type uniqueidentifier of the specified target column.
I have a transaction table having about 40 crore rows in source. It don't have timestamp and unique key columns. It have only Bill_month and Bill_Year columns. Actually for loading this table into staging I have added a new datetime column by adding default bill_date as 01. Then
* First we delete last 3 month data from staging tables. * Get last 3 months data from source table. * Load that 3 months data from source to staging table.
We do this because we only get update for last three months data. Now I have to include this transaction table as Fact table in DW. What will be the best practice for loading the fact table by picking data form staging table. Also we have to look up with dimensions for Foreign Keys.
* Should I implement the same method of deleting last 3 months records and loading them again.
I am newbie to MDS of SQL,want to know how we can transfer tables from two different SQL Databases to MDS.Suggest me the steps to proceed with any examples.
Hi I have a strange requirement in ETL operation. My Source contains only the details table data. Out of it, I have to load the master table and refer the Master table primary key ID to load Details table. I can easily load the Master Table with aggregate transformation. But problem is how to look up the Master Table Primary Key ID to load the Details table, as the master does not contains any unique key to lookup. This may seems to be strange but this is my requirement. You can refer the Source and Destination data model as below. They may give you clear picture. Can you guys help me out on this?
I'm trying to create a unique identifier number that meets the following criteria. The unique identifier needs to be a concatenation of two values submitted from a form and the identity value (primary key) for the new record that is inserted into the database.
So, if the first field is the year and the second field is a objnumber, the unique identifier number would have the format: ("YR" + "objnumber" + primary key value), where the year and object number are what the user selected in the form.
I have a stored procedure that I use to handle the insert, which also returns @@identity for the purpose of passing that value into another stored procedure that inserts child records.
So, within my stored procedure, is there a way I can create the unique identifier number and return that value back to the application? I'm not sure how to accomplish this?
Hi there,I'm new to sql server. I've created a table which can be updated through an aspx form. However coming from an access background I don't know how to generate an auto number. I've read through a number of the threads on here and keep coming across Identity or unique identifier. However I can't actually find out how to implement these.Any help would be greatCheersStu
Hello!I work with oracle, mySQL but im completely new to SQLserver.How can i set a auto-increment unique variable for userID ?After deleted user, the userID should be never used again on a new user.Thank you,
Does anyone know if there is a read-only unique identifier of a database in a given server instance? E.g. a value stored somewhere in the database meta data that is generated during CREATE DATABASE...
I need to develop a strong licensing solution based on the database accessed... Currently our solution is easily hackable because the the license information is kept in the database of your choice and is not dependant on some static information, the current encryption key is static and kept in the software so it can be hacked easily. What i want to do to change this is simple in nature but i don't know how to get that one particular info i need. I want to get some kind of unique identifier for a database (catalog) that sql server could generate. This info must be static and must not be movable. If for example, someone would backup and restore, this information would not be transfered with the backup. Thus, a user that backups his database and restores it on another database server or another database catalog even on the same server would corrupt his license since the Unique ID returned by the SQL Server would be different; the hashing code would change and thus the decryption would fail. Is there any such info i can query using SQL that will not require admin rights?
I'd like to know the current value of my uniqueID column before Icreate a new record.Is there a way to find out this value?It is numeric in my case, but I can't just look for the MAX value,since some records may have been deleted, and the value for theuniqueID still stays at the higher value.Is there a way to read this internally kept value?
Hi guysI'm having a nasty problem with bulk copying into a table that hasunique identifier column. I'm coding on C++, using ODBC driver.I'm coping from a file containing UID description like this:{43B5B3DE-5280-4CBF-B357-D9E57651F0D1}(I also tried a non-bracket version)and in the DB table I get:4233347B-4235-4433-452D-353238302D34which seems random at first sight, but it is:[B34{]-[B5]-[D3]-[E-]-[5280-4] - with chars read binary as hex.and my question is: what the hell?my code look like this:if (bcp_init (m_hDbproc,tableName, NULL, NULL, DB_IN) == FAIL)ret = -1;if (bcp_bind (m_hDbproc, (LPCBYTE)data, 0, 16, (LPCBYTE)NULL, 0,SQLUNIQUEID, colNo) == FAIL){ret = -1;}(I also tried a VARLEN version:)if (bcp_bind (m_hDbproc, (LPCBYTE)data, 0, SQL_VARLEN_DATA,(LPCBYTE)delimiter, 1, SQLVARCHAR, colNo) == FAIL){ret = -1;}and then stuff like sendrow ans save:if (bcp_sendrow(m_hDbproc) == FAIL)return -1;if (bcp_batch (m_hDbproc) == -1)return -1;I also tried specyfiling the column type in the m_hDbproc handle asSQLUNIQUEID, but either I'm doing something wrong, or this just isn'tthe way of a bulk copy samurai:INT * pValue=new INT;INT *pLen=new INT;*pValue=0x24;bcp_setcolfmt(m_hDbproc,1,BCP_FMT_TYPE,pValue,4);So like, PLEASE help me on this. I need to get this working by lastmonday :]Thanx, M.
Using SQL Server 2014 i try to merge data from database [Susi] on server2 to database [Susi] on server1. Server2 is a linked server in server1. The PK of the table Core.tKontakte is uniqueidentifier with rowguidcol.
I wrote the following script and get error 206: "uniqueidentifier ist inkompatibel mit int".
INSERT Core.tKontakte (KontaktID, AnredeID, Titel, Nachname) SELECT KontaktID, AnredeID, Titel, Nachname FROM [Susi].MSCMS.Core.tKontakte AS Client WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT KontaktID FROM Core.tKontakte AS Host WHERE Host.KontaktID = Client.KontaktID);
Function GUID() As String GUID = System.GUID.NewGuid().ToString() End Function
GUID is always 36 characters, for example:
1737be72-fe96-4c3c-b455-3730b049bef9
What the best way to store this in a MS SQL database? I'm thinking of using a fixed length string (char). Is there a better way than to just store this 36 character field?
I would like to pass an unique identifier (UserID) to a Crystal Reportfrom a SQL stored procedure. I found an article from Business Objectsabout this issue, but I couldn't get my head around it's hard codedexample.Does anyone have an example of this?

Using - SQL Server 2005 - Management Studio Express.
Here's the SQL statement
Code Snippet
SELECT TOP 1000
[test].[CatalogStudioId],
[test].[CollectionId],
[test].[unique],
[test].[att1]
FROM CatalogStudioEntity.dbo.[test] WHERE [test].[att1] LIKE '%1%'
Now, before you respond, allow me to say that I know using the table name to qualify the columns is redundant, and I know there are other options (such as aliasing the table). Don't respond to tell me this. However -- as far as I know -- this is a valid T-SQL statement and I should be able to get this query to run.
The interesting part is that if management studio is connected to the CatalogStudioEntity database, this query runs fine. If connected to the master database, I get the "multi-part identifier [x] could not be bound" error. The error is listed for every column.
My issue with this is that the table in the FROM clause is qualified with the database name, so whether I'm connected to that database or to "master" should not matter.
I have an application that generates select statements like the one above, and all of the machines so far that we've developed, beta tested and deployed this application on all don't have this problem. It's this one specific installation of SQL Server 2005 on this new machine where this problem arises.
Before I go back and retool the application to output whatever arbitrary syntax this specific machine seems to want, I want to try and troubleshoot and understand why it's acting like this.
Any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
So for years I was using the int identity(1,1) primary_key for all the tables I created, and then in this project I decided, you know, I like the uniqueidentifier using newsequentialid() to ensure a distinctly unique primary key.
then, after working with the php sqlsrv driver, I realized huh, no matter what, i am unable to retrieve the scope_identity() of the insert
So of course I cruised back to the MSSMS and realized crap, I can't even make the uniqueidentifier an identity.
So now I'm wondering 2 things...
1: Can I short cut and pull the uniqueidentifier of a newly inserted record, even though the scope_identity() will return null or 2: do I now have to add a column to each table, keep the uniqueidentifier (as all my tables are unified by that relationship) and also add a pk field as an int identity(1,1) primary_key, in order to be able to pull the scope_identity() on insert...
I have a list of movies that show throughout the year. I would like to assign a unique numeric identifier to each text field.
I have provided some sample data with the output I would like. The Movie_ID in the sample data is just made up, feel free to assign any numeric identifier, preferably of the same length but not a necessity.
we have a table in our ERP database and we copy data from this table into another "stage" table on a nightly basis. is there a way to dynamically alter the schema of the stage table when the source table's structure is changed? in other words, if a new column is added to the source table, i would like to add the column to the stage table during the nightly refresh.
I am wanting to get the job name based on sys.sysProcesses.[Program_name] column. Why is this query not returning any results even though the 2nd substringed guids are found the the sysJobs table?
SELECTCASE WHEN RTRIM([program_name]) LIKE 'SQLAgent - TSQL JobStep (Job %' THEN J.Name ELSE RTRIM([program_name]) END ProgramName , Val1.UqID , Val1.UqIDStr
As you can I have a uniqueidentifier (UniqueId) column which I populate with NewID() I'm trying to return this as I need it for other functionality of the website but I can't figure out how I can get it after the insert has completed?
Here's a problem description I read on another post but I have the same issue:
I am trying to Import Data from a csv file into a SQL Sever table. The Data being imported has a Unique Identifier in it but it is being considered as DT_WSTR datatype in SSIS
When i directly try to import, it gives an error:
The conversion returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".
I Tried to use Data Conversion to convert it to DT_GUID and import into SQL Server table but it again throws the above error. Anyone has a clue?
