ABAP APIs / Java APIs (MDM Extraction)

Hi All,
If I have to extract data out of MDM Repository without using the MDM Syndication functionality, How can I do that?
I know there is something called ABAP APIs / Java APIs. Can this ABAP/Java APIs be used to extract data out of MDM Repositories?
If yes, where exactly are these ABAP/Java programs written? In MDM server? Or Portal server?
Thanks,

You can actually do that with the help of API.
for similar issue follow below threads.

Hope this help

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 - MDM Workflow execute

Hi,
Do we have any methods/function modules available to access MDM Workflow using ABAP API?
I have checked through the 19 tutorials of MDM ABAP API available at service.sap.com but was not successful.

Up to now the MDM workflow is not supported by the MDM ABAP API.

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:

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

I have never used any Java API or ABAP API to leverage and present MDM functionalities on front end systems like portal,etc...
Could you please give me all the required to play around with JAVA api and ABAP api's.
Points will be given to every valuable answer.
Thanks

Hi Nazeer,
In order to use Portal you need Java APIs and to start with refer the MDM Java docs to get the basic idea of various classes and methods to be used in developing the simple java application and access it using portal.

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,
Swapnil

Hi 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.

ABAP API's - URGENT- Tracking of changes in MDM.

Hello Experts,
I want to track all the changes made in MDM In ECC. I know that i can do it using ABAP API's tracking feature.
I have already established the connection between ECC and MDM.
I would want to know all the exact steps to enable tracking and monitoring through ABAP API's.
Helpful answers will be highly appreciated.
Thanks and Regards
Nitin jain
Edited by: Nitin Jain on Jan 29, 2008 4:45 AM

Hi Nitin,
As you have already connected to MDM through R/3.
For Changing Tracking, you have to call the function 'MDM_ADMIN_RETR_CHANGE_TRACKING' for that you have to use structure MDM_AUDIT_INFORMATION.
I am not quite sure will it work. Please try.
Hope it helps you,
Regarding CCMS montoring in MDM ABAP APIs, refer the link:
How TO Guides available on Service Market Place.
https://websmp210.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700004121872006E --> operations
Here apart from How to guides you will also get
HowTo_CCMS_Trace.pdf : It will guide you if there any errors come in connection b/w R/3 and MDM. it does the following:
. Collect and evaluate application log data
- Collect and evaluate kernel trace data
- Problem solution showcasecomes
if your HowTo_07.pdf on Tracing report is working fine then you can identify whether is there any error coming or not.
Lets take an example : if you Shut down the MDM Server.
Then in R/3 On running HowTO_07 program:you will get ERROR DURING CONNECT: 3 , ERROR DURING DISCONNECT: 3
The Reason for this is the unavailable server. but here you will not get more details. For this
After implementing HowTo_CCMS_Trace guide: under transaction RZ20 : In Application Trace you will see error Partner not reached (hostXXX, Service 20005) and
In Kernel WorkProcess Trace: You will get error: MDE Kernel Error, NiRaw2ConnectError: the attempt to establish a socket connect caused an error.
So in this way you evaluate the error in more details.
Note: For this you should have authroize to use the transaction RZ20 in R/3 System.
Hope it helps you,
Mandeep Saini.
