  • MDM Sender Adapter issue in SAP PI7.1

    Hi All,
    How to schedule(there is no poll interval in Sender communication channel) MDM PI sender Adapter.
    Everytime we need to start and stop the channel then only file is being picked up.
    I checked port details, file is not picking up automatically
    Please suggest me.
    Reagrds,
    Hemanth

    Hi Hemanth,
    There are different versions of the MDM PI Adapter which correspond to the relevant PI version: one for PI 7.0 and the other for PI 7.1; the two are not interchangeable. Ensure that you have downloaded the correct version for your landscape i.e. PI 7.1
    Setting Up Outbound Messaging from MDM:
    Make sure that the MDM Java API (Connector) deployed on the J2EE engine matches the version of the MDM server on which the repository is mounted.
    Also, Check that there is no more than one MDM sender configured per MDM outbound port in your system landscape
    For more details, refer this below link

  • MDM Adapter query

    Hi Experts,
    My scenario is MDM to JMS(MQ). MDM side sends file in a MDM adapter, now the problem lies in the part that PI has to send files based upon timestamp order and syndicate them to Mainframe. Now, for File Adapter there are options in which we can do so but I do not have an idea how it can be done in a MDM adapter.
    Please let me know.
    Regards,
    Aniruddha

    Please refer the links for MDM-PI adapter configuration you  dont need a sender file adapter now

  • Enrichment

    Hi All,
    Can any one give detail overview of Enrichment ?
    What is the use of Enrichment controller and Enichment Adapters?
    Where exactly enrichment comes into picture?
    I have help.sap.com links for this topic.Please don't mention those links.

    Hi Priya,
                  Enrichment is a process of Enriching the data that we are using in our Business that is getting the effective and correct data with no discrepancies.
    We require Enrichment :
    1. To achieve more complete and meaningful master data.
    2. To identify and maintain various hierarchies that we are using in our master data.
    3. To maintain uniqueness throughout.
    Basically Enrichment process comes into picture when we are actually trying to maintain uniqueness among our data. There are various companies in market that actually helps in maintaining that uniqueness in data and also provides with the latest details about the data that we are maintaining. Some of the examples are : DUN and BRADSTREET , INTERMAT etc. These companies provide the accurate data for your master data like Duns and Bradstreet provides with the Vendor and Information with which your business is dealing.
    Enrichment Controller and Enrichment Adapter :
    Enrichment controller :
                                       The basic functionality of Enrichment Controller is that it reads the file during startup and then connects to the repositories and then wait for the trigger event which can be a workflow step or a WEB Service call. Once triggered then EC activated the MDM Syndication Server for writing out the records and after getting the enriched record back creating a file in the Inbound Folder so that it can be picked up by MDM Import Server.
    Enrichment Adapter :
                                    EC creates an instance of Enrichment Adapter and then passes the syndicated records through a call of the interface method, then it is the work of the adapter to process the request ( it may require Internet connection or interaction with local software module) and then send the enriched data back.
    Hope this would be helpful!!!!
    If helpful do reward points!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Enrichment Configuration file

    Hi All,
    I made the changes in the configuration file by adding the server name,workflow name,trigger step etc..
    But current situation is the records whatever i assigned to the workflow is not syndicated.( i.e i can not see the record file in the distribution folder that i mentioned in the Enrichment Controller configuration file).
    Enricment configuration file is in " D" drive.
    My syndication server " Distribution " folder is in "F" drive.
    What may be the problem.
    regards,
    Vijay

    Hi,
    Firstly , there is no syndicate step in workflow for Enrichment Architecture. The use of workflow here is to trigger and control the activities of the Enrichment Controller. Further, Enrichment Controller listens requests via the MDM Workflow, triggers syndication, then to Enrichment Adapter and finally import Enrich records into MDM Data Manager. So, the MDM Enrichment Architecture is controlled at runtime by the MDM Data Management workflow.
    This MDM enrichment controller constantly polls MDM workflow for steps that match the configuration parameters defined in the configuration file.
    The code you pasted here indicates your workflow having steps:
    Start->Process you can give a name to this Process as per your Code it should be Obtain_Geo_Data->wait(this is nothing but also a process having name Wait)---->Stop.

  • Reg MDM - BP "Consolidating Master Data"  in Solution Manager

    Hi,
        In solution manager there are standard Business Process (BP) and Business Process Steps (BPS) defined for each BP under any functional area. Similarly when we look at the standard BP for MDM we have "Consolidating Master Data" as one of the BP. Under that we have a two BPS called  1. <b>"Change or enrich records "</b> -  I understand that this BPS is referring adding or changing some field values in data manager. The second BPS is <b>"Use external data quality services to cleanse and enrich data"</b>. - I understand this step should be the Validation rules that we run. Is my understanding correct? because the 2nd BPS say "external data quality service" - this is where am bit confused.
    Your inputs are welcome !
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Arumgam,
    Validations belon to <b>"Change or enrich records"</b>. <b>"Use external data quality services to cleanse and enrich data"</b> means that you can connect MDM to other third party services (e.g. for address data cleansing) using MDM's enrichment controller.

    The Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Program is a value-added addendum to our partner programs that is intended for vendors who specifically certify solutions as “Powered by SAP NetWeaver.” A separate, platform-centric program, the Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Program does not require pre-enrollment in the SAP Software Partner Program. The program accommodates the special needs of both a platform ecosystem and vendors who provide solutions based on and certified for the SAP NetWeaver platform.
    Independent software vendors (ISVs) can create innovative, high-impact solutions and sales opportunities for the SAP customer ecosystem by becoming “Powered by SAP NetWeaver” and immediately helping customers lower IT investment costs and risks.
    How do I join the Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Program?
    Please contact us directly at [email protected].
    For general information about Powered by SAP NetWeaver, take a look at the resources available at the SAP Developer Network (SDN) site at http://sdn.sap.com.
    Will SAP ensure that other partners (and SAP) will not offer solutions that compete with mine?
    The Powered by SAP NetWeaver partner program is open to all enterprise software vendors who wish to certify and run their solutions on SAP NetWeaver. Part of being an open ecosystem is open and fair competition among partners, and between SAP and partners. SAP cannot guarantee exclusivity of individual partner solutions, nor can we guarantee that we won’t offer competing solutions.
    What are the requirements for vendors to join the Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Program?
    To qualify to become a member of the Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Program, you must meet the following minimum criteria:

    The Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Program offers many benefits. By becoming a certified Powered by SAP NetWeaver partner, you and other certified ISVs will be able to share knowledge and collaborate with SAP at the most cost-effective level to develop, integrate, and deploy world-class solutions that are supported by SAP business planning, enablement, and go-to-market resources and that drive innovation and growth. Another benefit of solutions that are “Powered by SAP NetWeaver” is their inherent flexibility. Enterprise Services Architecture, the SAP blueprint for service-oriented business solutions, allows you to integrate people, information, and processes and create solutions that enhance and extend current touch points while maintaining open standards and interoperability with other platforms.
    ISVs that are certified Powered by SAP NetWeaver partners can reduce their customers’ total cost of ownership (TCO) and risk by adopting the platform that is quickly becoming the de facto standard among the Global 1,000: the mySAP™ Business Suite family of business solutions, which are powered by SAP NetWeaver.
    The following are some of the benefits of the Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Program.
    Technology Benefits
    Development package
    SAP NetWeaver test and development licenses (available)
    SAP NetWeaver training (available)
    Two days of consulting support (available)
    Remote consulting (available)
    Sneak preview of new SAP NetWeaver technology and early participation in SAP partner go-to-market initiatives
    Marketing and Sales Benefits
    Use of Powered by SAP NetWeaver logo
    Sales kit templates, such as solution brief
    Inclusion in the SAP Partner Directory, available to SAP field personnel, customers, and partners
    A prominent web site profile

    As a Powered by SAP NetWeaver partner, how will information about my certified solution reach SAP customers and account executives?
    SAP provides many avenues for members of the Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Program to communicate the availability of certified products through our sales channels, including the use of marketing materials and events. All members are given the opportunity to establish a high-profile presence on SAP.com that highlights their Powered by SAP NetWeaver solutions. SAP also provides a series of templates for building collateral and demos that are pushed out through the SAP intranet to the entire SAP global field sales force. In addition, SAP makes the library of Powered by SAP NetWeaver solutions available to customers through both online and printed materials distributed by SAP. On occasion, SAP will hold seminars, Webinars, and road shows with select partners to co-market the partners’ Powered by SAP NetWeaver solutions.
    What are the major reasons an ISV should switch now from Oracle, BEA, or Microsoft to SAP NetWeaver?
    Most ISVs will support more than one platform. We believe that SAP’s unique position as a true Applistructure provider makes SAP NetWeaver compelling as a primary platform of choice for ISVs who are looking to make full use of Enterprise Services Architecture and realize the potential of web services.
    What does it cost to become a member of the Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Program?
    There is no fee to join the Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Program. There are, however, costs associated with individual elements of the program, including certification, training, and test/demo software licenses, when needed.
    What does the Powered by SAP NetWeaver certification process entail?
    Several options exist for third-party applications to become Powered by SAP NetWeaver and achieve integration certification with the Powered by SAP NetWeaver branding. Current opportunities include the following:
    Portal Integration
    All Powered by SAP NetWeaver endorsed solutions have a certified integration into SAP NetWeaver Portal, usually via certified business packages.*
    *[exceptions are SAP NetWeaver XI adapters and some ABAP add-ons]
    J2EE Applications
    J2EE applications are certified for deployment on the J2EE Engine in SAP NetWeaver AS.
    ABAP Add-Ons
    ABAP add-on applications are certified for deployment on the ABAP stack of SAP NetWeaver AS and proper packaging via the ABAP add-on assembly kit. Some SAP NetWeaver Portal integrations may be accomplished via SAP GUI for HTML instead of the business package integration mentioned above.
    SAP NetWeaver XI Adapters
    SAP XI adapters leverage the easy and efficient integration of third-party applications on the process and content level via the SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure component.
    SAP NetWeaver XI Content
    SAP NetWeaver Exchange Infrastructure offers a complete EAI solution that integrates SAP business system applications as well as non-SAP business solutions (A2A and B2B scenarios). SAP XI content includes all information and knowledge necessary to enable the integration of applications and business processes (collaboration knowledge). Additional certification of XI Content for interoperability with industry standards is also available.
    Details of the certification process can be found in the accompanying Powered by SAP NetWeaver Partner Program presentation.
    What technical assistance will I receive along the way?
    We offer three types of technical assistance:
    The SAP Developer Network (SDN) web site: SDN is a community of fellow developers who work with SAP NetWeaver technologies. Please join this community to participate in online forums, Webcasts, and Weblogs around SAP NetWeaver. On SDN you will also find a dedicated SAP ICC Web site containing documentation materials for all integration scenarios above.
    SAP Education: SAP education offers basic training for SAP NetWeaver and its different components. Please check the ICC web site on SDN for recommended training classes.
    For companies with a valid certification agreement with SAP ICC: SAP assigns an SAP ICC technical consultant(s) to each ISV to provide integration-certification specific education and knowledge transfer in SAP NetWeaver. SAP ICC offers integration consulting and can provide certification testing either remotely or on-site at the SAP ICC certification lab.
    What software and licenses do I need?
    We provide free trial licenses of software components for development and testing (J2EE engine, SAP NetWeaver Portal, SAP NetWeaver Developer tool, and portal development kit (PDK) on SDN).
    SAP sales offices provide in-house licenses – for example, ABAP development workbench and SAP Partner Connectivity Kit for SAP NetWeaver XI adapters.
    The ICC provides hosted test systems, SAP XI and back-end SAP ERP systems suitable for XI Content certification
    How long will it take to complete the Powered by SAP NetWeaver certifications?
    The complexity of the application and the integration scenario you select generally determines the timeline. For J2EE deployment, our experience indicates that the average time it takes for certification is three weeks. SAP NetWeaver Portal and iView window and business package integration takes another three weeks. Previous experience integrating with enterprise portals via iView windows or portlets and deploying on J2EE application servers has proven helpful. The duration may therefore greatly differ from vendor to vendor. As a rough estimate for ABAP add-on and SAP NetWeaver XI adapter certification, approximately two to six months are needed to complete a project from registration to publication.
    We currently run our application on the IBM WebSphere Application Server (or the BEA WebLogic platform), and customers are very happy with that. Why should we support SAP NetWeaver AS, which is newer and less well-known?
    ISVs can reduce their customers’ TCO and risk by adopting a platform that is quickly becoming the de facto standard among Global 1,000 customers: mySAP Business Suite, powered by SAP NetWeaver. Additionally, SAP NetWeaver is the technology foundation for all new SAP products going forward. As such, it will be implemented at more than 60,000 global SAP installations. Partners can take advantage of this rapidly growing ecosystem by providing customers with solutions that can quickly integrate with SAP NetWeaver.
    You should also browse through the information in the SAP/J2EE migration kit.
    Why are there both “Powered by SAP NetWeaver” solutions from SAP and “Powered by SAP NetWeaver” partner solutions?
    SAP is using SAP NetWeaver as the technology platform to power all SAP solutions, including mySAP ERP, mySAP CRM, SAP Industry Solutions and SAP xApps. Partners can take advantage of the large and growing installed base of SAP NetWeaver, and leverage the platform that is already installed, thereby lowering the implementation costs of their “Powered by SAP NetWeaver” solutions and lowering the customer’s TCO (total cost of ownership). SAP-built “Powered by SAP NetWeaver” solutions will therefore run side-by-side with partner-built “Powered by SAP NetWeaver” solutions.
    What is the difference between Powered by SAP NetWeaver solutions and the SAP xApps portfolio of packaged composite applications?
    Except for SAP NetWeaver XI adapters, a certified Powered by SAP NetWeaver solution can be almost any type of enterprise application that runs on SAP NetWeaver AS and integrates with SAP NetWeaver Portal as the user interface. On top of that, the SAP xApps packaged composite applications meet the requirements of Powered by SAP NetWeaver and are consistent with the architecture, features, and functions of a true composite application.
    SAP xApps composite applications combine web services and data from multiple systems in an application design made possible by the SAP Composite Application Framework tool within the SAP NetWeaver platform. This framework includes the methodology, tools, and run-time environment to develop composite applications. It provides a consistent object model and a rich user experience, and it gives developers a productive way to create composite applications on top of a set of heterogeneous applications. In addition, SAP xApps composite applications are uniquely differentiated in that they are innovative and highly complementary to SAP applications.
    Where can I find more technical information about SAP NetWeaver?
    SDN is a knowledge and collaboration environment for the SAP community that is developing and implementing within the SAP NetWeaver technology platform. You can find it on the SDN homepage.
    For information on SAP ICC, go to “Services” on SDN and select “Integration & Certification.”
    SAP NetWeaver Portal Business Package Integration
    What is required for a business package to pass certification?
    All requirements of the business package certification are specified in the test plan, which can be requested from your SAP ICC. The technical requirements for successful certification of a business package include:
    Support single sign-on (SSO) to SAP NetWeaver Portal (where applicable).
    Adhere to the SAP NetWeaver Portal look and feel (branding)
    Provide full support for at least one web browser that is also supported by SAP NetWeaver Portal.
    What tools can I use to develop a business package?
    We recommend using SAP NetWeaver Development Studio as the integrated development environment (IDE) for your development. In addition, SAP provides the Portal Development Kit (PDK), which provides a wealth of documentation, tutorials, and tools to help you with your content development. The PDK for the Java platform, as well as the PDK for the .NET platform, can be downloaded free from SDN for SAP NetWeaver Portal 5 (only Java) and SAP NetWeaver Portal 6 - see the SDN Download Catalog.
    Our application does not require authentication. Do we still need to support SSO requirements for business package certification?
    No. The basic idea behind the SSO requirement is to eliminate the need for further manual authentications for an end user who has already logged on to SAP NetWeaver Portal. If your back end (and thus the business package) does not need to authenticate users, this requirement does not apply to your business package.
    How can a business package support SSO with SAP NetWeaver Portal?
    A business package can implement SSO with SAP NetWeaver Portal in either of the following ways:
    SSO based on user mapping, where the portal user is mapped to another user in the external system of the business package. (For information on user mapping-based SSO, see the SAP Library.
    SSO based on SAP logon ticket, where the business package retrieves the information about the logged-on user in SAP NetWeaver Portal and verifies it so that the external system can authenticate the user. (As part of the PDK 6.0, please see the javadoc for the class com.sap.security.api.ticket.TicketVerifier as part of the user management service APIs.)
    See the SSO-related Weblogs on the SAP ICC homepage on SDN.
    J2EE Deployment
    What versions of the J2EE standard does SAP NetWeaver support?
    SAP NetWeaver supports two versions of the J2EE standard:
    J2EE 1.2: SAP NetWeaver AS 6.20
    J2EE 1.3: SAP NetWeaver AS 6.40
    What Java Development Kit (JDK) versions does SAP NetWeaver require?
    Two JDK versions are required:
    SAP NetWeaver AS 6.20: JDK 1.3.1 or higher version, below JDK 1.4
    For supported platforms, please contact the SAP ICC.
    SAP NetWeaver AS 6.40: JDK 1.4.2_07 or higher version below JDK 1.5
    SAP supports the following platforms (latest operating system patches as of March 2005):
    Solaris SPARC 32 Bit + 64 Bit
    Linux 32 Bit + 64 Bit (Itanium)
    Windows 32 Bit + 64 Bit (Itanium)
    NOTE: On Windows 2003 server, please make sure you have installed Microsoft Hotfix 841176, to be found at http://support.microsoft.com/?id=841176
    For up-to-date requirements, please contact the SAP ICC or visit the SAP ICC homepage.
    What do we need to do to have our J2EE application certified?
    Certification of deployment on the J2EE Engine in SAP NetWeaver AS has two basic requirements:
    First, the third-party J2EE application must be successfully deployed onto the J2EE Engine in SAP NetWeaver AS.
    Second, after deployment, the application must run as expected based on a mutually agreed-upon test plan.
    How can I deploy my application into the J2EE engine in SAP NetWeaver AS? Does the certification require that we use a particular method?
    You can use any of the deployment methods provided by SAP for certification. However, the deployment process will differ, based on the version of the J2EE Engine in SAP NetWeaver AS that you use.
    For J2EE Engine 6.20, a J2EE application can be deployed onto SAP NetWeaver AS in four different ways, as documented in the deployment manual.
    For J2EE Engine 6.40, refer to the “Deployment: Putting It All Together” section in SAP online help for a detailed explanation of the different deployment methods in version 6.40 of the J2EE engine and SAP NetWeaver AS.
    What enhancements does version 6.40 of the J2EE engine in SAP NetWeaver AS offer versus 6.20?
    Find out how version 6.40 of the J2EE Engine in SAP NetWeaver AS improves on 6.20.
    Are there any advantages to using SAP NetWeaver AS to develop J2EE applications that run in an SAP solution-based environment (compared to using IBM WebSphere or BEA WebLogic)?
    The broad customer base of SAP that has installed the SAP NetWeaver platform can select your J2EE application, which can be deployed and run on the J2EE engine. No other non-SAP/J2EE application server is needed.
    How difficult will it be to port my J2EE application that currently runs on IBM WebSphere or BEA WebLogic to SAP NetWeaver AS?
    SAP NetWeaver AS is fully J2EE-compatible; if your application was developed following the J2EE specifications, the porting of your J2EE application to SAP NetWeaver AS should be very easy. You should also browse through the information in the J2EE migration kit.
    What if I run into problems during the porting/deployment of my J2EE applications to SAP NetWeaver AS?
    We recommend that you join SDN and consult its forums and documentation. Here you will find a wealth of experience in installing SAP NetWeaver, porting, and so forth from your fellow developers. If you have a contract for consulting or certification with SAP ICC in place, a designated SAP consultant would help you resolve the problems.
    ABAP Deployment
    How does an ABAP application become certified as Powered by SAP NetWeaver?
    The ABAP application (add-on) needs to meet all of the following criteria:
    The add-on must be ABAP-certified on the ABAP stack of SAP NetWeaver AS 6.20 or higher and contain GUI elements that are supported by the SAP GUI for HTML.
    If the add-on solution contains additional J2EE parts, these parts must also run on the SAP NetWeaver platform and could be certified for their deployment on the J2EE stack.
    The add-on needs to be packaged and distributed using the SAP add-on assembly kit. This tool is available as part of the certification agreement.
    What are the benefits to an SAP customer of using an SAP-certified ABAP add-on?
    Customers can import and maintain the third-party add-on using the SAP standard transactions SAINT and SPAM. It is assured that the add-on can be used and controlled using SAP NetWeaver Portal.
    SAP Netweaver XI Adapters
    How does an SAP NetWeaver XI adapter become certified as Powered by SAP NetWeaver?
    SAP ICC provides certification opportunities for third-party adapters for the SAP NetWeaver XI adapter framework (NW-XI-AF). These adapters must be implemented as resource adapters of the Java Connector Architecture 1.0. Adapters enable the SAP NetWeaver XI integration engine to talk to different application components or industry standards. Within SAP NetWeaver XI, it is important that the adapters are “lightweight,” in case the integration directory must be used to keep track of required services and mappings. To pass integration certification testing, SAP NetWeaver XI adapters are also required to build the connection directly to other applications or technical systems and must be deployed to SAP NetWeaver XI.
    ISVs can use SAP Partner Connectivity Kit, available through any SAP sales office, as the platform to develop their SAP NetWeaver XI adapters.
    What are the benefits to a customer for using an SAP-certified SAP NetWeaver XI adapter?
    Customers are assured that the adapter is embedded properly on the SAP NetWeaver platform. Monitoring and configuration of this adapter can be centrally handled via SAP NetWeaver XI. No additional software systems are needed to run an SAP- certified SAP NetWeaver XI adapter.
    SAP NetWeaver XI Content Certification
    How does a SAP NetWeaver XI content become certified as Powered by SAP NetWeaver?
    The XI content needs to meet all of the following criteria:
    All XI objects must be embedded in one or more integration scenarios
    Optional XI content can be developed supporting industry standards. The industry standard interfaces must be utilized on one side of the integration scenario
    ISVs have to specify required functional test cases to ensure the functional correctness of all objects contained in the integration scenarios
    ISVs must provide the documentation of the required design and configuration steps
    What are the benefits to a customer for using SAP-certified SAP NetWeaver XI content?
    XI Content is a key differentiator of our integration solutions. SAP delivers XI content to facilitate the implementation process and thus reduce the TCO for the customers. Customers easily understand the underlying business scenarios of XI content objects.

    Hi Amrita,
    As of now there is no certification in associate level. It is available in professional level only.
    1) You should have 5 yrs of experience in your module which you r looking for.(Professional level).
    2)You can apply for any version irrespective if you hv worked in same version at least 1 project.
    3) I think in India Bangalore location is available.
    4)You can go through Teched from ur company side but only for professional certification but for the associate level you go individually.
    5)Teched will be benefited in monetary prospect.
    6) Total 80 questions will be there and I think duration is 1 hr and all are multiple type question and there is no negative marking.
    Cheers
