Trigger MDM Workflow Using MDM ABAP API
Hi ,
I have requriment to trigger MDM Workflow from ABAP , Please suggest how to do it ?'
Thanks in Advance.
Shyam.Hi,
Are you creating material in MDM using Data Manager or Portal. or Using ABAP API.
If your workflow trigger Action is "Record Create" then it should trigger workflow as soon as new material is created. I don't see any problem in this.

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)
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a3461636-0301-0010-3787-978f5ac8bd45 (UWL config)
- 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)
Enterprise Master Data Management (EP Guided)

Hi, Gurus;
Do you know the MDM ABAP API to call the import/syndication function as we did by client tool? In addition, I also would like to know the API that can call MDM workflow.
I am working on MDM 5.5 SP05. Thanks for any feedback!
HaiyingHi Haiying,
please refer to this How to guides zip file for MDM 5.5 SP05 - ABAP API

Retrieving hierarchy fields from MDM to SAP R/3 using MDM ABAP API's
Hi all,
I have developed a code to retrieve fields from MDM to SAP R/3 using MDM ABAP API's, i could retrieve all of the fields excluding the Lookup[Hierarchy] fields like- FACILITY CODE etc...
please update me if anyone has any experience on this.
Thanks and regards,
Aastha MehrotraHi ,
Any one worked in the MDM API to retrieve Hierarchy fields ???

Hello there,
I am trying to use the MDM 7.1 ABAP API to access MDM data from within a BI system.
Now I am wondering how to access key mapping for records in the Main Table.
In the Java API there is the RetrieveRecordsKeyMappingsCommand which returns all key mapping information for a list of record IDs. But I cannot find something similar in the ABAP API.
Who knows where to start?
Thanks for hints
IngoHi ,
In ABAP API also you can retrieve key mapping of main table records using function 'MDM_API_RETR_CLIENT_SYS_KEYS'.
You will get details of this function in sap library or ABAP API documentation provided by SAP.
For any further queries kindly reply.

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,
SwapnilHi 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, '|'.

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. -
How to read records from Relationship table using ABAP API's
Hi All,
I need to retrieve the records from Relationship table. In Java API's I came to know there is an option to retrieve this. I could not find anything in ABAP API's. Is there any option in ABAP API's to do this.
Please Suggest.
Thank You,
Gajendra.Hi Gajendra,
You can mainly read records from MDM (in a DDIC structure) using ABAP API's using the following function modules/methods:
1. RETRIEVE: This is used to generically retrieve records from tables. Attributes and Values can also be retrieved.
2. RETRIEVE SIMPLE: Retrieve records from MDM in a simple way.( simple data types).
3. RETRIEVE CHECKOUT: Retrieves all checked out ID's.
4. RETRIEVE ATTRIBUTES: Retrieves attribute(s) from a Taxanomy table.
You will find all these methods in the following interface
Interface : IF_MDM_CORE_SERVICES
Hope it helps.
*Please reward points if found useful.
Thanks and Regards

ABAP API for XML Validate(by schema)
Hi
Encountering this problem, find out ABAP XSLT Processor API to transform a xml file, need to validate it against predefined schema, but have not find out proper ABAP API to take this validate task. Could anybody once meet such kind of problem? will be much appreciated gettting your reply!I think I will just do the work in Java Webdynpro and use the KM API. It is a pity because I would much rather do it in ABAP Webdynpro, it just seems like nobody has really done it or documented it well...
Thanks anyway

Use KM ABAP API without XI/PI
Hello KMC Gurus,
I try to use the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/db356ceb-0701-0010-ff8f-af07e78588a0">ABAP API for Knowledge Management and Collaboration</a> from a WebAS ABAP 7.00 (NW2004s). But I'm facing the problem that we don't have XI or now called PI installed. As I've read in OSS Note "883948 - NW 7.0(2004s): Inst.Add.Java Usage Types/Software Units" the Usage Type PI can't be installed afterwards. Is there a possibility to use the KM ABAP API also without XI/PI in place?
Best regards
GregorHi Gregor,
The articel you mentioned above is a preview to the next major release which is not yet available. Unfortunately in NW2004s there is no ABAP API available. But beginning with NW04s, SPS13 there will be at least WebServices available for KM functionailty. You can use them to generate your own Web Service Proxy in ABAP to connect to KM.
best regards,
Martin
