ABAP API Configuration

Hi All,
I am trying to make use of ABAP API from my R/3 system.
but I am not able to see the transaction MDMAPIC and many MDM related interfaces.
what could be the exact problem?
Any Service pack need to be added on normal R/3?
My R/3 system version is 4.7 with kernel patch NW2004 (640) dw patch 139 as per the How to guide.
Even I tried with R/3 5.0 with the same kernel patch.
I had maintained allow.ip at MDM server.
waiting for the reply

Hello,
using the MDM ABAP API requires SAP BASIS 6.40/7.00 and the right Kernel Patch level.
The API is not yet in SAP BASIS. That means it has to be downloaded from service marketplace and installed to the SAP System. After that the configuration will be there and the API is accessible.
Hope that helps.
Best regards,
Daniel

ABAP API'S - CONFIGURATION ERROR

Hi All,
I am curently working on ABAP API's. While configuring the connection between the ECC and MDM in Transaction- MDMAPIC,
If the MDM server HOST name and the DBMS HOST name are exactly same, Will the configuration work?
Helpful answer will be rewarded points..
Thanks and regards
Nitin jain

Hi Nitin,
If MDM host and the DBMS host server names are same then it wont matter because in the background the they are mainly connected with the IP address.
Note: Have u entered the Ecc host name in the MDM server host file.
You can find it at the following location or just enter in Start -->> Run -->> drivers
C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\host
Open host file in notepad and make an entry of IP Address and host name.
This host file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one space.
Hope dis helps u

MDM ABAP API - Language information not valid for repository

Dear all,
We're programming an interface in SAP R/3 to MDM catalog through 'MDM ABAP API's'. Automatically, it creates an RFC connection to MMD, but we're getting the following connection errorwhen executing the API:
E MDM_ABAP_API 078 Language information ENG US USA not valid for MDM repository XXXYYYZZZ*.
*where XXXYYYZZZ is the repository name.
W'e've established the connection in R/3 through transaction MDMAPIC and we've created the same user in R/3 and MDM Console.
This is the code written on the program where we are defining the language (ENG), country (US) and region (USA).
*maintain logon language information
ls_repository_language-language = 'ENG'.
ls_repository_language-country = 'US'.
**no region information needed here
ls_repository_language-region = 'USA'.
How can I see the repository language definition?
Which are the correct codes to be used for language 'English', Country 'United States' and Region 'USA'? And for other countries, like spanish language, country Spain and Region ¿spain?
In fact, we copied this code from website:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmdm71/helpdata/en/44/93ad8931381053e10000000a422035/frameset.htm
Maybe the problem is that any RFC configuration is missing, and it has to be done in transaction SM59?
Thanks for your feecback,
Carlos Santamaría.

The problem is now solved.
The correct languague information codes for Language Spanish, Country Spain and Region, are as follows:
Language: 'spa'
Country: 'ES'
Region: '___'
It is important to respect the CAPS, otherwise it doesn't work.
Regards,
Carlos Santamaría.

ABAP API Connection Problem

Hi folks,
I am working with the MDM ABAP API and there are some errors that do not make any sense to me.
Here is a list with the technical information:
MDM 5.5 SP 5 (5.5.40.83)
SAP NetWeaver 2004s (700)
MDM API 555/700
I have set up the Repository information in MDMAPIC, using a new created provider of the type CL_MDM_PROVIDER_55_SP05_PL00 ( MDM5.5 SP05 Patch 0, Server Build 5.5.40.79 - 5.5.40.xx ).
I then have tried to establish the connection to the server and repository and so on according to the HowTo Guides.
When I finished yesterday, I managed to connect to my local MDM Server and to retrieve the names of the mounted repositories, but I was not able to retrieve records from a certain repository. When I wanted to solve that problem today, I was not able to connect to my MDM server anymore. There have been no changes in the coding or the configuration since then, only the MDM server has been restarted and the repository has been reloaded. But apart from that, nothing has changed but still I am not able to establish the connection anymore ( Connection refused ). Then I have tried to connect to another MDM server, but there I get another error ( Connection is not trusted ), although I have rechecked a dozen times that there is the allow.ip with the proper ID of my SAP system and the according user in the MDM repository.
From time to time, the errors change without changing anything else, just by trying to execute it a couple of times. I have figured out, that sometimes I get an error out of the above mentioned provider class ( CL_MDM_PROVIDER_55_SP05_PL00 ). Is it possible, that the MDM API is not working properly with the PL00?
Hints are appreciated a lot...!
Thanks and best regards,
Sabine

Hi,
Check whether the server is down or not. If the server is down, u will get the same error message

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,

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 hes 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:

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.
Regards,
Velu

Alejandro,
The MDM ABAP API & MDM Server Versions are same. Both of them are in SP04. Here is the details on the versions:
MDM ABAP API - MDM SP04 provider, Server build 5.5.32.48 - 5.5.32.x
MDM Server 5.5 - SP04 ( 5.5.32.65)

How could JAVA API and ABAP API useful to MDM.

Hi Experts,
How could JAVA API and ABAP API useful to MDM, and any coding in Java or ABAP is required in MDM.

Hi Reema,
Java API and ABAP API are verry usefull to MDM to integrate MDM with other SAP componants like SAP R\3, EP etc. :
It dose not required any coding in MDM infact in JAVA API coding can be done on NWDS(Netweaver Developer Studio).And for ABAP API coding is done on SAP R\3 System in ABAP editor.
JAVA API:
By using Java API MDM client operations can be performed.For one need to install NWDS and to deploy some .jar files and with the help of standard classes and interfaces it can be connected to MDM server and various operations like create repository ,connect to repository ,Data mainuplation etc.
ABAP API:
Suppose you have an Expert abaper and you want him to perform MDM operations.In that case he need not to learn MDM basic Data types infact by doing some settings on R\3 and MDM server side an ABAPer can perform
MDM Cnsole and MDM Data Manager level operations.
you can go through these links

/people/bv.pillai/blog/2006/11/28/installing-mdmtech-add-on-and-configuring-the-mdm4a-mdm-for-abap-api
Here the coding is done on SAP R\3 system.
hope it will give you some idea about Java API and ABAP API

Connection of MDM and R3 with ABAP API

Hi,
Can any body suggesst how to Configure R3 4.7 with ABAP API . Is this possible with R3 4.6 C system as well ?
KR,
D

Do you mean to connect to some external DB from SAP?
Yes, you can. You can use transaction DBCO for this.
There are a couple of things you need to do, but also there is a lot of stuff in the web and especially in SCN regarding this subject.
