Level Model 2 Sprint 1 - Create System Modules. Import Using Blueprint View or Grid View

SatyamArora

Hi Guys, 

I just started with LM2, already having questions. I'm pretty sure I'll have many more down the road.

 

In the activity, when it says 

SYS05 Region Details module: SYS06 Country Details module:

 

Few questions I have:

1. Do I use Data View or Blueprint View to Import. I understand Blueprint View is used when only structural import is needed and no data.

 

So if I do blueprint view (I believe there is no data we are trying to import here, just structure), in the SYS06 module it creates additional line items with all the countries which I don't think is right.

 

What am I doing wrong in the import mapping? 

 

2. What is a general rule when it comes to deciding between grid import and blueprint import.

Hi,

 

Adding what I know here,

Choosing the import view depends on what we are trying to achieve,

Blueprint view - Only for the structural change

Grid View - Only for Data/Metadata load

 

It seems you are trying to load the metadata(parent/code) of the country list, so you should use Grid import.

Thanks @VIGNESH.M thats my understanding as well.

Can you please verify (screenshots) what is wrong that I am doing in the mapping because thats not the believe the final result should be (other screenshot).

 

I believe the countries should not list up like that..

Thanks!

Hi @SatyamArora,

 

What are you trying to achieve here, can you share the screenshot of the import file.

If you are trying to load the parent/country code information in the module, then blueprint import is not the right option. As mentioned in my previous post, you need to use grid import for loading the metadata.

I am trying to import from grid view but getting error whatever I do.

Can anyone help me?

@sguptatalkingrain Not sure I understand the screenshot which you attached. Looks like you are trying to load data into a module for Region Code. Do you really need to do that? If you already have a code for Regions in a list, you should try to refer the code of the list in the module using a function rather than loading the code.

Hope this helps

Hi,
Can you please share how you did it. I am getting the same error.

Hi,

 

You need not to import anything in Sys05 Region module.

Make sure that you have imported Region Flat list correctly.

 

Please let me know if that works!
