SRM-MDM Catalog: Images not shown in search ui - only placeholder visible

Hello Expert,
we have the problem, that the images, which we imported into the repository using the Data Manager are not shown in the search ui. The image is visible in the Data Manager and assigned to a product.
If I make a right-click on the image in the brower, I get a URL like this
http://[server]:port]/webdynpro/resources/sap.com/tc~mdm~srmcat~uiprod/Components/com.sap.mdm.srmcat.uiprod.ItemDetails/null//Images?id=1&variant=Thumbnail&cachePath=/tmp/largeObjectRepositoriesCachedFolder/kfw-mdm-ae54/RepositoryPort_2010/User1&relativePath=t07/0000000/r00001v-2.jpg

SRM MDM catalog link not working

Dear All,
I am from SAP Basis background.
Currently we have a project to go live on internet. Hence we are changing our link to internet links.
We are currently facing some concerns for MDM Catalog.
We have updated correct URL of internet in
SAP Implementation->SAP SRM-> SRM Server->Master Data->Content Management-> Define external web services ->
Once respective entries are maintained and then go to portal
after click on MDM Catalog we receive below login details for MDM server.
I believe here catalog should be present.
We are stuck at these point and not sure what configuration needs to be change.
Any hint on this ?

SRM-MDM Catalog image mapping

Dear All,
I am trying to map image field but the field does not appears on the web dynpro user interface, can anyone advise me how to map image field in order to display the images in SRM.
And I am using standard Repository SRM-MDM.
Regards,
Aklilu

Hi Aklilu,
Hope you have followed the following steps.
You have created the mask containing Image field and mapped to the end user say User1.
In the WebDynpro UI config logged in as UI Configuration Manager.
Go to Customize Display tab
Select Result set radio button
Select the image filed and add to the display item.
The problem would be you might have included Image field in the webdynpro and forgot to include the Image field in the Mask.
The fact is that the display fields assigned to the user can be over ridden by the mask assigned to the user.
Please check the fields in the Mask and field added using Webdynpro UI Config for the end user.
Thanks,

SRM MDM catalog items not checking back to EBP ("500 Internal Server Error")

Hi All,
We are having an issue, ONLY with our PRODUCTION environment.
When we create a Shopping Cart and select items from an Internal catalogue, we cannot check the items back into SRM without the system throwing the "500 Internal Server Error" message. As the items never even reach SRM, there is nothing to check or display in the queues for anything even remotely helpful.
As mentioned above, the issue is only happening in our Production environment. We have tested using the production MDM webservice details in our PreProd environment and everything works flawlessly, so the issue very likely arises from our Production portal.
System info:
We have SRM 7.2; SRM MDM 3.0 and SAP Netweaver portal 7.1.
The users are using IE9 but the same happens on IE8 as well.
We have checked and all MDM applications are running.
We have done all the compatibility checks too given in https://scn.sap.com/thread/1075870 and https://scn.sap.com/thread/1836750 .
I have attached the logs.
Nothing helped so far, so we are hoping maybe either of you can.
Thanks in advance,
Niki

Hi Jason,
So in the end SAP gave a response that worked.
We actually had to delete the BYPASS_INB_HANDLER parameter and change our URL slightly. That helped and now the items check back in to EBP without issues.
The strange thing is that we still have that parameter in every other environment and yet it still works flawlessly, only causing issues in PROD. We are waiting on a response from them to ellaborate why... I am going to share when they respond.
Thank you for all the help!
Bests,
Niki

Pictures not appearing in after upgrade to SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP7 Patch4

Hello,
Due to some issues in Advanced search we performed the service pack upgrade from SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP5 (with MDM 7.1.03.72) to SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP7 Patch4 ( MDM 7.1.04.146). With this new SP, the Pictures are not appearing anymore under the Hyperlink section anwhere in Catalog browser( Compare, Context view, Item details). With earlier SP pictures were appearing perfectly.
We have done like this:( refer earlier thread - Re: SRM MDM Catalog 3.0 Image display) thanks Sudhanshu, Jitesh and Mandeep for suggesting that solution!
Using the hyperlink field
type : rendered
MIME type : image type i.e. .jpg
URL : web URL
We had gone for this option because we dont want to store impages in MDM, and this worked perfoectly until new SP upgrade.
Any clues?
Thanks
Pravin

Hi Bala,
Nothing appears under the Hyperlink section in Catalog browser, though a valid link exists in Data Manager under Hyperlink as type-Rendered, MIME type as JPG and a valid URL.
I have searched Service Market place for this fix of this issue and found that SAP has improved the technology ( from Object Cache to Blob Cache) to display pictures/hyperlinks from SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP06 and MDM 7.1SP04 onwards. We were on SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP05 and MDM 7.1 SP03 before Dev upgrade.
Here are the notes for reference of others who get into same issue.
Note 1450593 - Implementation of BlobCache
This note states "MDM7.1 SP04 offers new image caching functionality called Blob Cache. The old functionality of Object Cache is replaced with the Blocb Cache mechanism in Catalog 3.0 SP06 P1"
Note 1505796 - Images not showing in SRM-MDM catalog (error in BlobCache)
This note talks about the issue in MDM API with Blob Cache. The Fix has been provided in SRM-MDM Catalog SP08 Patch 01.
But upgrade is not something that happens on the drop of a hat, we dont want to do another upgrade, I would like to know if there is a workaround.
Thanks
Pravin

Is use of flat file in SRM-MDM catalog search UI possible ?

Hello,
When user looks for materials inside SRM-MDM catalog (using search user interface), search is done manually with free form or drill down search.
Then, among the search result, user has to select items he wants to add to his shopping cart and finally transfer those items from his shopping cart overview inside SRM.
Is it possible to automate this user selection using for exemple a flat file uploading (or any other way you could know) ?
This flat file will have material number (or service), supplier code and quantity (no more information).
The aim of the request is to help requester to not have to select each item one by one (in the search result) knowing that :
- SC will have more than a hundred items,
- delivery time and price (for example) must be checked in MDM, being the master data reference
- materials (or service) to order are received by requester via a flat file without any information about prices, so i cannot upload my flat file directly into SRM because file missing data must come from MDM.
With this process, user should have only to transfer items automatically selected.
Could you please share your advises ?
We use SAP MDM 5.5.
Regards.
Laurent.

Hello Masa,
Masayuki Sekihara wrote:
A vendor look at buyer stock information like VMI and fill stock weekly base. So the vendor sends material number and quantity information as flat file to buyer. Buyer should create SC from flat file and price information should fetch from catalog.
Yes, your are correct: example you gave corresponds to process for my SC uploading.

Hi Evandro,
Not too sure what your requirement is but these are the search operations posible in SRM-MDM v2.0.

Shopping list in SRM-MDM catalog?

Dear Experts,
What is the use of shopping list in SRM-MDM catalog?
I have created a new shopping list in the system. I have filled the name, description and other details in the new shopping list.
When I select my shopping list, the button u2018Add to shopping list u2018is still disabled. How we can add new items to a newly created shopping list? My understanding is that a shopping list is created to include different shopping items as favorite list?
What is the function of the button u2018Share/Unshareu2019 ?
Please, help me to understand the functionality of shopping list in SRM-MDM catalog 3.0?

Note 1141870 - SRM-MDM Catalog: Usage of Shopping List (Memory, M/S)
Symptom
The usage of Shopping Lists in the SRM-MDM Catalog has direct influence on the memory consumption of the MDM Server.
Note 1153525 - Enabling shopping lists for named users
Note 1165452 - SRM-MDM Catalog 2.0 SP04 Patch00 Release Note
Shopping Lists
You can use this function as a:
Template for orders that are made regularly
Search criterion
Prerequisites
Your User Interface (UI) Configuration Manager has given you shopping list authorization.
A shopping list must have at least one item in it to serve as a search criterion.
To display all items in a shopping list, the search criterion must be reset before the shopping list is selected.
This is because the search UI treats the shopping list as a search criterion. Consequently, any other active search criterion reduces the items displayed to a subset of all the items in the shopping list.
To display all shopping lists, including empty ones, on the Shopping List tab page, one of the following conditions must be met:
No other search criterion has been entered
The search has been reset
Activities
When a shopping list is selected as a search criterion, the system restricts the search by removing any items not included in the list from the search result.
Items can be added or removed from shopping lists in the shopping cart preview.
Note
Depending on authorization, users can modify either their own shopping lists or those of others.
This function provides search strategies for locating products, displaying product item details, and transferring items to procurement applications such as the cart. The Search User Interface (UI) can be configured to meet individual user requirements.
Prerequisites
The User Interface (UI) Configuration Manager is responsible for configuring the search UI.
If you cannot access some of the functions and features listed below, check that your user has been correctly configured. For more information, see User-Specific Configuration: Product Procurement
Features
On the Search tab page:
Keyword search
Advanced Search
Hierarchy (category) View
Allows you to drilldown when searching. This view also displays product attributes, if they have been maintained.
List View (for displaying search results)
Displays results with images and a URL to item details
Context View (for displaying search results)
Navigation up and down the list is possible and item images are also available.
In the List View and in the Context View, the following functions are available:
Add To Cart
Compare for price comparisons. For more information, see Compare Function
Cart Preview
On the Cart Preview tab page, the following functions are available:
Transfer Items
Delete
Delete All

Current search parameters are displayed on the Search Criteria tab page.
Shopping Lists can be maintained on the Shopping Lists tab page.

SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 - Installation Process

Hi All,
I'm in the process of installing SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 but I'm not sure about the correct installation process.
The SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 installation guide indicates that the following instances are mandatory for SRM-MDM Catalog system:
1- Java system with the central instance, the central services instance, the database instance
2- MDM Server, and MDM Import Server
We have covered the first point by installing an SRM 7.0 JAVA system. Regarding the second requirement, I have some doubts in the way it should be completed. What we did so far was to install the SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 from the MDM 7.1 installation master. So, we now have two MDM server instances: MDS and MDIS.
I'm stuck now. I'm not sure on how to connect my SR-MDM system to the JAVA DB (created in step 1) to create a new MDM schema within it. This makes me wonder if I've followed the correct process. Could you please clarify and explain which steps should be performed to get my SRM-MDM system up and running? Actually my main concern is..Should I first install a MDM system as it's described in MDM IG, and after that perform the installation of the SRM-MDM catalog as I've already done in step 2?
Hope being clear enough I'll wait for your suggestions.
Thanks and regards

Hi Diego.
The Installation Note Number for SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 is : 1177779. The recommended steps would be to follow how the Installation Guide recommends you to do so.
But still your assumption is correct. MDM landscapes and Java landscapes are both different set of categories to be installed to make the Catalog scenario to be successfull.
Step 1: Make sure you have the back end database server(SQL/Oracle/???) is installed.
Step 2: Make sure all the MDM components(MDS, MDIS, etc) is installed.
Step 3: Make sure Java WebAS is installed correctly.
Step 4: Now deploy the Catalog SCA and MDM Connector deployed in the Java WebAS.
Step 5: You can unarchive and load the repository.
Step 6: Try to launch the catalog using the URL provided to check and make sure if the connection is fine.
Also what Masa has mentioned is the communication path how the whole process is achieved technically and that doesn't mean that it has to be in the same order which he has mentioned. The below sequence is just an path to describe how the communication is achieved technically.
User -> Browser(Search UI deployed on AS Java) -> (Java API on AS Java) -> MDM Server -> MDM Repository -> DB
Relating Masa's path with the above steps
User ->
Browser(Search UI deployed on AS Java) -> Step 3 and 4
(Java API on AS Java) -> Step 3 and 4
MDM Server -> Step 2
MDM Repository -> Step5
DB-> Step 1
Hope this helps.

Bala

SRM-MDM Catalog Installation/Landscape

Hi,
We are currently having the following landscape in place with regards to the SRM, MDM and SRM-MDM Catalog :
Server 1 : SRM 5.0 Running   (HP-UX)
Server 2:   Enterprise Portal running with MDM Content and SRM-MDM Catalog JAVA components (HP-UX)
Server 3:   Standard MDM Server installation (Windows 2K)
We have configured everything according to the notes and guides (including the guide from Sudhendu Pandey), but when we try to configure the Search UI in Webdynrpo, the java components cannot connect to the MDM host and we are getting just the connection failed error.
My questions are :
1)   Can we run with the above landscape or is it necessary to have the SRM-MDM Catalog Java components installed on the same server as MDM.
2)   Do we have problems with versioning of the MDM server and the SRM-MDM java components ? We already replaced the MDM_JAVA_API with the correct one, but I do not have a newer version of the other api.
3)   Do I need to configure anything on the MDM server to get this running ?
Thanks in advance for your help
Regards
Raymond

Hi Foh,
Apologies for my late reply, but I was travelling. Thanks for this tip. We were using the latest versions for the MDM Portal Content, but the API for the SRM-MDM catalog was different.
I have updated this API with the latest version (Patch 3 HF 1) and now I can logon to the MDM server and I see the MDM Repositories. However if I now try to logon to one of the repositories he gives me the same error that the Login has Failed. The user that I am using is the default one coming with the SRM-MDM repository (Admin).

Raymond

2 Hierarchy Schemas in SRM-MDM Catalog

Hi,
I try to find out how to server two hierarchy schemas in SRM-MDM. Your suppliers even deliver catalogs in eClass or UNSPSC classification. In search UI I need now both in the search. So I built up two tables eclass513 and unspsc as hierarchy tables in MDM and filled them with the relevant data. In customizing of the search UI I do only see "Hierarchy" and "Category" as selection. How can I see my own hierarchy tables there?
Best regards
Roman

Hi Roman,
Please refer the OCI field mapping section in the config guide of SRM-MDM Catalog. I think you have to do OCI mapping with the MDM field via config UI.
when you login into config UI, there you can find the options "Shoppin Cart" and "shopping cart preview". Go with first option and click on OCI mapping.you will find the window for the OCI mapping with the MDM field.
then you can see the 2 hierarchy in the catalog.
I am not sure but might be possible.
hope this will help you.

Hello Sreesha,
You can configure the look n feel of your Catalog Screen.
The SRM-MDM catalog business content, there are some scar files which you have deployed on the server.With the help of that scar file, you can access the search UI Catalog Screen from the link as mentioned below:
Http://servername:port/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM
Just coneect with your MDM server by server name and password then select your repository.In the standard repository of SRM-MDM, there is alreardy a user as "Master" having role as "UI Configuratation Manager"
Just login with user as "Master" and pwd as blank.
then you can find the UI screen, there are so many functionality to configure your catalog screen.

SRM MDM Catalog Multiple Imgae (field) display in UI

Hi MDMers,
I have configured the SRM-MDM Catalog and I had done Import data, mapping data, OCI, SRM call structure and UI settings. Everything works fine when we call the Catalog in SRM.
My SRM -MDM Catalog needs certain custom fields which should hold some Button indicator for item classification (Red, Amber, and Green)
Already we used MDMSRM_IMAGE field to have pictures of Item and mapped in Display view in UI manager.
I tried one more custom field for the Image to hold this buttons (.gif file) but unfortunately it is not bringing the indictor images, just place holder is exist without indicator image.
Could you please help me and give some work around solution to bring that Button Indicator in My Catalog view for each item.
Please light up something on TEXT HTML, TEXT BLOCK, HYPERLINK and mime type
Is it possible to have the .gif Image by using above functionality? If so please guide mates.
Regards
Edwin

Hi Tam,
I have tried to set up hyperlink for my images in SRM-MDM catalog.But no luck.
1. My MIME Type is GIF.
2. My url is
http://fssomsdits01.forensic.gov.uk/eMerge/images
The URL path contains my Images file like GREEN.GIF and RED.GIF
Where I have to display the 2 images according to the catalog Item.
As per forum discussion I tried the steps.
I declared the MIME Type & Hyperlink type (rendered) in Look up table.
I have mapped the fields in Catalog item table for MIME Type<hyper link> & URL<hyper Link> and Hyper Link.
The data is just replicating in DATA manager, but not displaying in UI as image.
Please can you help me to sort it out?
Just explain me how to enable the Hyperlink field to line item.
The steps to import thre Mime type/hyperlinku2026look up table and Qualified table.
