ABAP API to store DATE value in MDM 5.5

Hello All,
Currently I am working on MDM 5.5 and need to have some suggestions on ABAP API Function module to store date values in MDM.
We have interface from where we take the user input which updates the field value back in the MDM.
On the basis of similar scenario we have "DATE" field on the interface which will update the date and time in MDM, also we are making use of ABAP API for development.
The problem is that data type mismatch is happening between MDM and ABAP API,please let me know which ABAP API Function module should we use which simply accepts the DATE and TIME for every single record.
Source code provided will be much more appreciable.
Regards,
Swapnil

Hi Swapnil.
In the same link provided by Sudhanshu, can you navigate to the node "Retrieving Complex Types".
It has sample codes and MDM interfaces for TimeStamp, Time Stamp, User Stamp, Literal Date, Literal Time etc.
As suggested, you can also try to use the type MDM_CDT_DATE_TIME.
See the sample code provided in the link as below:
Type: MDM Literal date:
    CLEAR lv_date.
    CONVERT TIME STAMP ls_result_ddic_ex-fieldliteraldate-content TIME ZONE sy-zonlo INTO DATE lv_date.
    WRITE: AT (10) lv_date, '|'.
  Type: MDM Literal time:
    CLEAR lv_time.
    CONVERT TIME STAMP ls_result_ddic_ex-fieldliteraltime-content TIME ZONE sy-zonlo INTO TIME lv_time.
    WRITE: AT (10) lv_time, '|'.

  • Store date value from calender

    I have created a calender on a page which shows all date's of the month with sysdate(30th june06) (current date or today's date), Now i want to store any date value of the month in the item value i.e if i click on 5th june 06 then that value should be stored in the item value. Can anybody help ?
    ramesh

    Thanks Denes Kubicek
    The example is good and i need to modify that if i select the column from the selectlist then
    1) The report should give all the columns and the same column name should be used for where clause for the search.
    2) In the example the query is
    DECLARE
    q VARCHAR2 (4000);
    BEGIN
    q := ' select ';
    q := q || REPLACE(NVL(NVL(:p1_columns, CASE WHEN :p1_multiple_select LIKE 'NUL' THEN NULL ELSE :p1_multiple_select END), 'EMPNO, ENAME, JOB, MGR, HIREDATE, SAL, COMM, DEPTNO'),':',', ');
    q := q || ' from emp ';
    RETURN q;
    END;
    which gives column to selected column , but i want to get all columns so to modify the query.
    p1_columns is not required.
    Thanks,
    Ramesh.

  • Abap API

    Hi All,
        I am working on a scenario where I need to use abap api to fetch data from mdm system.
      Here have coded to fetch data from mdm system and done the required configurations in mdmapic transaction.  but I get a dump.
    It says "BSEI_MSG_BADCRC" error.
    Kindly someone help me resolve this error.
    I have done mdmapic configuration to use the provider class of sp06 . I also used the provider class of sp05 .both give the same error.
    The build of SAPMDM is 5.5.40.83 and the provider class of spo5 in mdmapic has a build 5.5.42.79 .should the provider system have the same build .  I also checked for add on with that build in service market place. It was not available.
    Regards
    Sudheendra

    Hi,
    I strongly feel it comes just because of Version Mis-matching. Your MDM Server and Provider Class shold be of same Version. as CRC always indicates Version Mismatching.
    E.g. For MDM server version 5.5 SP6 patch1 then install MDM_Tech 5.5.5_640:patch004 or MDM_Tech 5.5.5_700:patch004 as per your R/3 system release.
    you could check it using HowTo_07. pdf , on executing this report you could know connection to your MDM Server is estabilishing Properly or not. here in this report you have to change one Parameter logical object name which you have given in transaction MDMAPIC
    you could find more Add-on patch on Service Market Place while searching in Searching for All Categories. here search using MDM_TECH
    Hope it will Help you,
    Rewards if useful....

  • MDM_TECH 554_700 ABAP API giving socket connection error

    Hi,
    I have recently installed the MDM_TECH 554_700 on a 64Bit R/3 system and configured the ABAP API thru customization for a 32Bit MDM Server. Currently I am facing a problem with 'NiRaw2ConnectError: Connection refused' error and when I checked the detailed log it shows that "ERROR => mdeKernelError, NiRawToConnectError: The attempt to establish a socket connection caused an error (rc=-10) [mdm_mdeClien 265]". I have checked the necessary kernel files ( dw_mdm.dll) to make the socket connection between the MDM system, the OSS note 965209 & 950245 and not able to trace the problem. Is it possible to make the connection between 64Bit R/3 and 32Bit MDM server? Help on this issue is highly appreciated.

  • MDM ABAP API Performance Problems

    Hi all,
    we developed a custom transaction into our ECC 6.0 system to remotely retreive data coming from MDM (7.1 SP05) and show them to the user. The 2 systems phisically reside in different datacenters, so running in the same WAN but in 2 different AD domains and 2 different ip networks.
    In short the transaction is working using the standard MDM ABAP API functionalities and getting the MDM data using the following methods:
          CALL METHOD lr_api->mo_accessor->connect
          CALL METHOD lr_api->mo_core_service->query
          CALL METHOD lr_api->mo_core_service->retrieve
          CALL METHOD lr_api->mo_accessor->disconnect.
    This is working, but with awful performances. for example to get a subset of materials (around 500 codes) it takes more than 1 minute, and the quantity of data transfered from MDM to ECC (around 30 KB) is not justifying this time.
    Please be so kind to suggest any kind of activity that I can perform to improve the situation.
    Thanks in advance.

    I am trying to retreieve date from MDM to ECC using ABAP API.I am getting the below dump.
    Short text
        An exception occurred that was not caught.
    What happened?
        The exception 'CX_MDM_PROVIDER' was raised, but it was not
         along
        the call hierarchy.
        Since exceptions represent error situations and this error
        adequately responded to, the running ABAP program
         'CL_MDM_PROVIDER_71_SP00_PL00==CP' has to be
        terminated.
    What can you do?
        Note down which actions and inputs caused the error.
        To process the problem further, contact you SAP system
        administrator.
        Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can loo
        at and manage termination messages, and you can also
        keep them for a long time.
    Error analysis
        An exception occurred that is explained in detail below.
    The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_MDM_PROVIDER', was not caught in
    procedure "GET_LOC_SUPP" "(METHOD)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.
    Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
    exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
    The reason for the exception is:

    Assure Ponits will be rewarded for helpful Answers:
    Thanks in Advance,
    Mandy

    Hi Mandy,
    I would like to help you out on your last query.
    ABAP API's has provided with 2 methods which are related to Change tracking.
    The 2 methods are:
    1. RETRIEVE_CHANGE_TRACKING: You can use this method to update the MDM Change tracking metadata.
    2. RETRIEVE_UPDATE_TRACKING You can use this method to retrieve the MDM Change tracking metadata.
    Along with this, you can use the tracking and CCMS Montioring functionality to keep a track on changes done in MDM through ABAP API's.
    I am also attaching a link to a very gud webinar by Klaus David on ABAP API's:
    [https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00dd47bd-f2f1-2910-5eab-e9ca52465ae4].
    Kindly go through it.
    I hope it helps.

  • Business Case :ABAP APIs in SAP MDM

    SDNers,
    Kindly share your views on Business-case application(s) of ABAP APIs fron the perspective of SAP Master Data Managment.
    Regards,
    KAV

    Hi krutarth,
    ABAP API (Application programming interface) are interface programming written in R/3 system to manage MDM activies through R/3. or
    The MDM ABAP API empowers ABAP-based applications to control MDM Servers using most of the functions available in the MDM Console and MDM Data Manager
    applications.
    1) It enables an R/3 system to access the administrative
    functionalities of the MDM Server.
    For E.g.
    Create repository,
    Connect to repository,
    Load repository,
    Create role,
    Create user
    Retrieve roles,
    Retrieve users
    Create client system
    Retrieve client systems
    Retrieve tables
    -Retrieve table fields
    Activate trace
    2)It also enables R/3 system to access the data processing**
    *functions of the MDM Server.*For e.g.
    Create a transformation
    Retrieve a transformation
    Create rules
    Retrieve rules
    Create a strategy
    Retrieve a strategy
    Invoke matching
    Invoke a matching value check
    Retrieve a matching result
    and many more.
    If u find this helpful then do reward points.

  • ABAP API  MDM  vs Standard MDM !!!

    Maybe the expression that I am using is not the best one and hope that someone can give me any clarifications.
    What I am intending is to know:
    1)     If using ABAP API is the best way to implement MDM purposes or if he’s an alternative to implement MDM using ABAP API?
    2)     In the proof of concept that I am implementing, I only use the principal components of MDM (Import, Data Manager, Syndicator and Console) in order to find the solution of our enterprise business.
    3)     Using ABAP API, I have to use programming method, implement by myself some functionalities in ABAP to connect and resolve my MDM purposes.
    4)     If am not using ABAP API (The way that I am proceeding right now) , I have to use the standard software component (enterprises services ) of the  R3 Systems in order to connect MDM with client systems.
    Thanks guy for your assistance. We just want to know the best way to proceed with MDM .

    The best method for implementing MDM depends on the requirements of each scenario.  For example, if you have a program in R/3 that needs to pull some data from MDM for analysis then perhaps using the ABAP API would be the best route to take.  If you need to transfer materials or vendors from MDM to various R/3 systems, perhaps using XI would be the best route to take.  I would recommend looking at the <a href="https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700004656452006E">IT Scenario Configuration Guide</a> to get a better understanding of SAP's recommended practices given different scenarios

  • ABAP API for MDM work flow

    Hi SDN,
    I need some information related to ABAP API for MDM workflow. I did search in SDN and I found one solution in a thered posted on Jul-2008.
    ABAP API - MDM Workflow execute
    My dought is: Do we have any ABAP API for call MDM work flow. Please provide me the solution ASAP. Apprciate for your immediate response.
    Regards,
    Kumar.

    Hi LAKSHMAN ,
    To answer your question specifically
    Using ABAP api you cannot call MDM workflows as of mdm 5.5 there are no functions specific to calling MDM workflows in ABAP.If you want to implement workflows on ABAP side you need to go for SAP ECC workflows which is a different topic than MDM>
    To call MDM workflows over the Java stack ie WAS (SAP portal),You have 2 ways
    - UWL
    - Guided Procedures.
    - UWL is a way of calling MDM workflows on EP.Wherein the workflow design will be done in MDM and it will only be called in portal using appropiate connections and configurations.
    You can refer the below links to know more on them:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/771f1a61-0e01-0010-daa9-93a52905da09 (uwl)

    - GP is a way where by you need to design the entire workflow on SAP portal the logic can be pertaining to MDM but the design is completely on portal using webdynpros and api.
    You can refer the below links to know more on them:
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/92811997-0d01-0010-9584-f7d535177831  (Guided procedures)

  • ABAP API's - URGENT- Tracking of changes in MDM.

    Hello Experts,
    I want to track all the changes made in MDM In ECC. I know that i can do it using ABAP API's tracking feature.
    I have already established  the connection between ECC and MDM.
    I would want to know all the exact steps to enable tracking and monitoring through ABAP API's.
    Helpful answers will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks and Regards
    Nitin jain
    Edited by: Nitin Jain on Jan 29, 2008 4:45 AM

    Hi Nitin,
    As you have already connected to MDM through R/3.
    For Changing Tracking, you have to call the function  'MDM_ADMIN_RETR_CHANGE_TRACKING' for that you have to use structure MDM_AUDIT_INFORMATION.
    I am not quite sure will it work. Please try.
    Hope it helps you,
    Regarding CCMS montoring in MDM ABAP APIs, refer the link: 
    How TO Guides available on Service Market Place.
    https://websmp210.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700004121872006E --> operations
    Here apart from How to guides you will also get
    HowTo_CCMS_Trace.pdf : It will guide you if there any errors come in connection b/w R/3 and MDM. it does the following:
    . Collect and evaluate application log data
    - Collect and evaluate kernel trace data
    - Problem solution showcasecomes
    if your HowTo_07.pdf on Tracing report is working fine then you can identify whether is there any error coming or not.
    Lets take an example : if you Shut down the MDM Server.
    Then in R/3 On running HowTO_07 program:you will get ERROR DURING CONNECT: 3 , ERROR DURING DISCONNECT: 3
    The Reason for this is the unavailable server. but here you will not get more details. For this
    After implementing HowTo_CCMS_Trace guide:  under transaction RZ20 : In Application Trace you will see error Partner not reached (hostXXX, Service 20005) and
    In Kernel WorkProcess Trace: You will get error: MDE Kernel Error, NiRaw2ConnectError: the attempt to establish a socket connect caused an error.
    So in this way you evaluate the error in more details.
    Note: For this you should have authroize to use the transaction RZ20 in R/3 System.
    Hope it helps you,
    Mandeep Saini.

  • Mdm abap api retrieve method does not work properly

    Lets say i have
    in a qualified flat lookup several qualifiers.
    i try to get the table using the following code:
      loop at wa_contract_data-CONT_REMINDER into ls_qual_link.
                      wa_keys_reminder = ls_qual_link-QUALIFIED_link_ID.
                      append wa_keys_reminder to lt_keys_reminder.
                CALL METHOD g_mdm_api->mo_core_service->retrieve_simple
                      EXPORTING
                      iv_object_type_code = 'TBL_REM'
                      it_keys = lt_keys_reminder
                      IMPORTING
                      et_ddic_structure = lt_remainder_data.
    endloop.
    finally lt_remainder_data contains only the non qualifier, but not the maintained data of the qualifiers.
    what confuses me is that some fields are even not transfered at all.
    does anyone know how to get what i would expect: the actual data of all other fields?
    Thanks.

    Hi Gideon,
    I have used ABAP API's to successfully retrieve the data from the MDM into a DDIC structure in ECC side using the program Retrive Simple.
    I had followed the webinar by Klaus David. Here is the link for the same:
