Shared Master Data - SMD Tool Configuration

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement to generate ALE-IDOC for Customer and Vendor master change. So we are planning to use Shared Master data Tool of SAP.
Have done the settings in BD52, BD50, BD61.  But do i need to configure BD64 ?
My requirement is generate the IDOC in the same client, in the sense when master data is changed IDOC are to be triggered and they will be stored in a shared folder for other system to pick it up.
So we need to have the source and destination as same client....
Not sure whether SHared master data will work for same client ? Please let me know your expert thoughts.

hi,
Shared Master Data is a component which drives the distribution of any changes in the centralally maintained master data. The SMD component writes a change status in tables BDCP and BDCPS. For EG. whenever you change any data with respect to a material, the changes are logged in two tables namely CDHDR and CDPOS. Now there is a program RBDMIDOC which reads these changes and distributes the same. Change document Object are nothing but the component with which the fields are configured,so that any changes on those fields are recorded. You can find them in Tx. SCDO.
For Material Master the change doc. object is. MATERIAL.
Reward points if you find this useful.

  • SAP Master data migration tools

    Hi,
    I would like to know if any SAP standard tools which are available for all master data migration,Kindly share the same which is required for us now.
    We have to migrate the data from legacy systems to SAP and we have to use only SAP Standard master data migration tools.
    Kindly share the same.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Raveendra

    Raveendra,
    SAP migrates data from legacy system using standard tools like LSMW, BDC, BAPI. Under LSMW you will have Batch input, Batch recording, BAPI and IDOCs options. Depending upon requirement you can choose any one of them. BAPI is advisable instead of BDC method.
    Also for utilities industry SAP has provided ISU Migration tool (EMIGALL).

  • Catalog group code data - is it Master data or Configuration data

    Hi all,
    Need some clarifications between Master Data and Configuration data. In CRM we use catalog code groups and codes for ticketing systems. The code groups and codes are defined in SPRO (IMG) once and consumed in catalog schema’s at client level. I refer to  this code groups and codes in SPRO as Master Data, cause it is shared across modules and does not change so frequently. However I was recently corrected by my manger that since it is transportable it cannot be Master Data, it is configuration data. And tasked to contact SAP and get the correct/official answer. Is it configuration data or master data and what is the determination.
    BTW, allow me to clarify that we like to know the right answer for proper documentation and this is not the who’s right challenge J

    1.server creates new client thread for each newly accepted connection Good. Make sure the server doesn't do any I/O in the accepting thread, including even construction of input and output streams.
    2.if one of these client threads receives some data from the client, then:
    3. this client thread creates new ControlThread object (and passes received data to it )Why? What does the Control thread do that the client thread can't do? Does the client thread really create a new Control thread per piece of received data? What's the purpose of the Control thread here?
    4. ControlThread object in turn spawns a new thread Again why?
    From your description you appear to be creating:
    (a) a thread per connection
    (b) a thread per piece of received data
    (c) another thread per (b)
    What you probably need for a chat server is an input thread and an output thread per connection. The output thread should read a queue and the input thread should write to the appropriate queue(s), making sure you don't create a loop by sending the client's own data back to him.
    5. Finally, this spawned thread will send data to all client apps.No. Use one output thread per connection, as described above. As writing to a socket can block, you shouldn't use a single thread for writes to more than one client, otherwise the whole system can stall due to one non-co-operating client.
    a) how scalable is this server app?It's about as non-scalable as it could possibly be. You will have an explosion of threads per item of data received if you've described it correctly, and you already have too many threads per connection.
    b) what would you�ve done differently ( in terms of basic program structure )?Almost everything: see above.
    Perhaps creating ControlThread object each time data needs to be sent to other client apps is a bad ideaMost definitely.

    These master data are already configured with standard settings and number ranges. If you require different number ranges coming for master datas, then you need to configure the number ranges and then assign them to the material type etc. or if you require customizing material type etc you need to configure that as well.
    Otherwise just start creating the master data, no problem.

    Please do not use e-mail addresses in this forum.  It means that the info will go only to you.  This deprives all of the other users the benefit of any answers.
    Master data does not have it's own configuration guide.  The way that your master data will be configured is totally dependent on the business scenario you are creating.  Most of the critical steps are contained in the configuration docs for the scenarios.
    Review the basic Materials Management configuration guide below.  It should get you started for a basic purchasing environment.  This version localized for Pakistan for the benefit of Ashar.

    There are other documents for you to review that may also assist you in the BP guides.  http://help.sap.com/bp_bl603/BBLibrary/Content_Library_BL_EN_PK.HTM
    The important configuration for a vendor is the relationships between the vendor and the various organizational structures in your company(s).  For these relationships to be configured, you first need to know how your company(s) will be structured, as mentioned in the earlier posting.  For some hints, look in the above link under Enterprise structure and Enterprise structure extensions.

    Please let me know if there is any config where we need to set the approvers for workflow, so that the system creates a request for approver.
    Regards,

    Dear Giridhar,
    Please, check the following configuration:
    1. Activate the workflow (Path: SPRO -> GRC -> Shared Master Data Settings -> Activate Master Data Changes)
    2. See whether Checkbox "Approval" is ticked for the selected entity
    3. If you activate master data changes, please check whether the correct roles are indicated in the Maintain Custom Agent Determination Rules in the Workflow settings.
    Business Event: 0FN_MDCHG_APPR

  • Co code not seen for cost center master data creation in OKEON

               In org tab of Cost center master data creation while configuring cost center hierarchy in OKEON i can not see organization tab. I have checked in OKKP Co area is assigned to co code but still the issue persist.

    hi
    you mean the tab is not displayed? strange, it seems that there should be a screen layout to control the ui, or any transaction variant is recorded. I tried in my side, the tab is there.
    @ Murali, you are right, but in that tab, not only company code can be configured, but also business area, functional area etc.

  • Configuration Data Transfer Tool

    Hello all,
    I am working with my client to plan our ME Configuration and we are trying to determine how best to propagate the configuration from one system to another (i.e. DEV to QA to PROD). 
    I understand there is a new tool being developed for SAP ME 6.0 called the Configuration Data Transfer Tool. 
    Will it be possible to use this tool for SAP ME 5.2.5?  Has anyone tried to do this?
    What are the overall recommendations and/or methods other folks have used to move their configuration to another system?
    The goal is to move configuration and master data only, no transactional data.
    Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.
    Mari Santangelo

    Mari,
    Configuration Data Transfer Tool is not a standalone application but just a feature (the activity) of ME 6.0 so you can't use it with ME 5.2.5. And there is no information about porting it back from 6.0 to 5.2.5.
    In 5.x and prior releases, there is DataXchange tool mentioned by Ivan and Site2Site Transfer activity (you can find the guide next to Xchange guide on SMP).

  • Is LSMW tool only used to update master data??

    Hi experts,
    Is LSMW tool only used to update master data??i.e for updating material master,customer master etc.,
    or it can be used to updated configuration tables also.i.e when we do configuration a CTS is to be created.then how the CTS generation is handled.
    Can anyone plesae explain me in detail?
    Thanks in advance,
    Regards,
    N.Sreelatha

    Hi
    LSMW is used to transfer Legacy data from one system to another system.
    Obvioulsy Configuration objects should be transported through CTS only and not with LSMW .

  • Master Data Services not available under shared feature while installing SQL server 2012

    Hi,
    I am trying to install Master Data Services but do not see the option to select MDS under the shared features when going through the SQL server 2012 installation. I have the SQL server 2012 SP1 (64 bit) install files. I have also installed SP2. I havent

    Hi Revees,
    This might be a very naïve and also out of the original scope of the thread question.
    We are thinking of going with the developer edition. We have 2/3 developers and some other testers and business users.
    1) I understand that we need a developer license for each developer. But would we need a license for the business user. Can they have a sort of read access to the dbs?
    2) If a developer has MSDN subscription, Would they need to purchase the license too assuming we purchase the developer edition of the software (and not download it using the MSDN subscription)?
    Thanks for your assistance!

  • Master data sharing

    hi,
    In extended star schema, master data is stored separately . can this master data be shared across other star schemas as well?
    thanks.
    bwlearner

    HeLLo
    will explain with a simple example with sales.
    1. Create these InfoObjects
    CHARACTERISTICS:
    Sales Representative ID - SRPID
    " "     "     "     Name- SNAME (Attribute 1 of SRPID)
    " "     "     "      Age- SAGE  (Attribute 2 of SRPID)
    " "     "     "    Phone- SPHONE(Attribute 3 of SRPID)
    Sales Region            - SREG  (External Chars in HIER)
    Sales Office            - SOFF  (External Chars in HIER)
    KEY FIGURES:
    Product Quantity        - PQTY
    Sales Amount            - SALES
    Profit Amount           - PROFIT
    2. For the IO SRPID maintain the above said attributes and external chars in hierarchies.
    3. Using DIRECT UPDATE, load the Master Data.
    4. Create InfoSource(Flexible Update) IS_SRP_TD with the following objects
    SRPID, PQTY, SALES & PROFIT.
    5. Create InfoCube (IC_SRP) and Update Rules using the InfoSource - IS_SRP_TD and load the Transactional Data.
    Now you can create a Query on the Infocube, Drag and drop the SRPID into Colums and the Key Figures in the Rows. Then on the SRPID under Columns, give context menu (right click) add the 3 attributes & again give context menu Properties and Display Hierarchy, there check Active & select the hierarchy name.
    Now save and execute your query, this report will display the InfoCube data with attributes and the hierarchy.
    You could prove this with the following tables.
    Fact Table - /BIC/FIC_SRP  (This table will have KEY_IC_SRP1 - Dimension Table Key)
    Dim  Table - /BIC/DIC_SRP1 (This Table will have the DIMID field - Dimension Table Key)
    Here Fact and Dimension Table gets the link.
    DimID Table - /BIC/DIC_SRP1 (This Table will have the SID_SRPID field - Master data ID to link with the following SID table)
    SID Table   - /BIC/SSRPID (This table have the InfoObjects /BIC/SRPID, SID (MASTER DATA), CHCKFL, DATAFL, etc.
    Using these teh SID table will check the P, T & H tables.
    Hope this clears you ?
    Best Regards....
