Best Practice transport procedure for SRM-MDM Catalogue repositories change

Hi,
I have a question regarding SRM-MDM Catalogue repository change transports.
We currently have two QA servers and to Production servers (main and fail-over).
We are investigating the need of a Development server.
Changes are being made to the repositories on the system, and I see the need of a dev server.
What is best practice for SRM-MDM Catalogue?
With only QA and Prod environments I guess Repository schema transport is the best option, since there has not been created a Refference file (which is needed for change file transport).
Any other options?
We are running MDM as well, with dev, QA and prod environments. Here we use CTS+ for transports.
Is it best practice to use CTS+ also for SRM-MDM Catalogue transports?
KR,
Thomas

Hi Thomas.
What is best practice for SRM-MDM Catalogue?
SAP recommends to have the landscape model like DEV-QA-PROD.
So in case of catalog as well if we follow the same technique it will help you to have a successful implementation
Any other options?
As a part of proceeding with the CTS+ you need to create a reference file
Refer the Link: [CTS+|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0dd1ae0-36e5-2b10-f8b4-e6365e643c0b?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true] for more details
Is it best practice to use CTS+ also for SRM-MDM Catalogue transports?
It is upto the requirement. if you feel there are many changes in catalog xml schema in various phases in an automatic manner then you can go ahead with CTS+ or you can perform the existing method of exporting and importing the schema to the repository.
Hope it helps.
Best Regards
Bala

Best Practices - Transports

Hi there
In my brief Portal experience, I have only ever transported stuff (iviews, roles etc.) using the manual approach provided in the portal under System Admin >> Transports.
Now, one of the other portal implementations that our company has done has been scrutinized, and one of the suggestions that has come out of that investigation (outside contractors) was to implement a "Portal Transport System" as documented in the Best Practices document, which is then supposed to automate the content migration process.
So:
1. Can anybody tell me where documentation is available on this transport approach?
2. Can anybody confirm / deny that this is the best approach to use for transports.
Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Andrew

Quantity tab is non-editable under ITEM VIEW screen in SRM- MDM Catalogue

HI,
Implementation of SRM MDM Catalogue 2.0 SP04 (5.5.64.82) .Need inputs on SRM MDM Catalogue>shooping cart view >ITEM DETAIL screen
Following two tabs "Add to Shopping Cart" or "Add to Shopping List" are not working under "Item View" screen when user trying to add items by using these two tabs. Some "java.lang.NullPointerException" error is populating when user clicks on any of these two tabs. Detailed screen shot attached for your understanding
Also, "Quantity" tab is disabled and seen as non editable field - (which is greyed out) - we can not place any value into it.
But the "Add to Shopping Cart" or "Add to Shopping List" tabs are working fine under other screens views like "context view" & "List view" .
Seems like it is a product Bug
Need your valuable inputs at earliest as our go-live date is approaching very near
Thanks & Rgds/Pawan

Best Practice: Export unrendered for internet

Hi
As I recall, in previous versions of FCPX it was considered best practice, at least for exports for web, to export unrendered.
Still true? Ever true for all other export reasons?
I want to post a rough of a film on youtube, unlisted, for a few friends to comment on.

Btw, always seems like when I open my browser while fcpx is open, I get problems and have to delete my prefs to get back to normal. Any reason why? Just curious.

Steve: If these are bitmaps inside a PDF that's going to be viewed on the iPad, you cannot rely on its "native resolution". Think about this: What if the original page size of this PDF is 5.5" x 8"? What if it is 20" x 32"? Which one will show the images "at their native resolution"?

MDM Server Password Parameter in SRM Web Service for SRM MDM Catalog 2.0

Hi Experts,
We have password set on our MDM server. I am little confused about how to define MDM server password parameter in external Web service Call structure in SRM System for SRM MDM Catalog 2.0.
Will Catalog webservice work, if we don;t define password for MDM server in webservice??if No, then please let me know how to define MDM server password in SRM websevice.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Shiv

Hi Shiv,
The MDM Server password is needed when you are changing Webdynpro UI Configuration.
For catalogs, all you need is the repository userid/password parameters in the call structutre.

Any known security best practices to follow for FMS deployment

Hi all,
We have recently deployed Flash Media Streaming server 3.5.2 and Flash Media Encoder on a Windows 2003 machine. Do you guys know of any security best practices to follow for the FMS server deployment on a Windows machine, could you please point me to that resource.

Hi
I will add some concepts, I am not sure how all of them work technically but there should be enough here for you to
dig deeper, and also alot of this is relevant to your environment and how you want to deploy it.
I have done a 28 server deployment, 4 origin and 24 edge servers.
All the Edge servers on the TCP/IP properties we disabled file and printer sharing. Basically this is a way in for hackers and we disabled this only on the edge servers as these are the ones presented to the public.
We also only allowed ports 1935, 80, 443 on our NICs. Protocol numbers are 6 and 17, this means that you are allowing UDP and TCP. So definitely test out your TCP/IP port filtering until you are confortable that all your connection types are working and secure.
Use RTMPE over RTMP, as it is there to be used and I am surprised not more people use it. The problem as with any other encryption protocol, it may cause higher overhead on resources of the servers holding the connections.
You may want to look at SWF verification. In my understanding, it works as the following. You publish a SWF file on a website. This is a source code that your player uses for authentication. If you enable your edge servers to only listen for authentication requests from that SWF file, then hopefully you are really lessening the highjacking possibilities on your streams.
If you are doing encoding via FME then I would suggest that you download the authentication plugin that is available on the Flash Media Encoder download site.
There are other things you can look at making it more secure like adaptor.xml, using a front end load balancer, HTML domains, SWF domains,
Firewalls and DRM.
I hope this helps you out.

Which version are you setting up and what are the requirements? IF you are discussing the use of NIC bonding for high availability beginning in 11.2.0.2 there is a concept of "High Availability IP" of HAIP as discussed in the pre-installation chapters,
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e22489/prelinux.htm, section 2.7.1 Network Hardware Requirements.
In essence, using HAIP eliminates the need to use NIC bonding to provide for redundancy.

Calling the SRM-MDM Catalogue from SAP PM

Dear SRM-MDM Experts,
We are trying to call the SRM-MDM Catalogue from ECC 6 Plant Maintenance module using tcode IW31. We have performed the following config in PM:

2. Assign Catalogs to Task List Types
When we create a Plant Maintainance order using tcode IW31, there is a Catalog button on the bottom of the screen. When we click on this Catalog button, it give us message u201CNo Catalog could be determinedu201D. What else do we need to configure to make this work?
Thanks in advance
Kind regards
Pedzi

I figured it out. Issue resolved. I had to link the Catalog to teh PM order type.
