In Hierarchy mode, MDM data manager, I maintain table Product Catalog. I would like to download the whole catalog structure tree from MDM. With the help of one of the articles in SCN, I can do that in table Product Catalog Item by Split Hierarchy Field since the type of field Catalog Area is Lookup(Hierarchy) in MDM syndicator. The problem is I can not get the whole structure tree with all the leaves. The leaves without any product assigned to will not be there in the report. I tried to change to table Product Catalog in syndicator, I can only get a flat table since the type of field Catalog Area is Lookup(Flat).
Why are the same field different types in different table?
Can I change the type of field?
If yes, how?
if no, is there any method to download the whole catalog structure?
I have been struggling for that for several months. wish the hero sent by the God is on his/her way.
