Can MDM web service search results be filtered by tuple values?

We are currently working with MDM 7.1 SP03 and Netweaver 7.0. Right now, there is a requirement to return a material record from MDM to a Web Dynpro form using the MDM search web service. The other requirement is that the form user can search for a material using material number, sales org and dist channel. Currently, the results include all sales org/dist channel combinations in the material record. Is there a way to filter the results so that only the specified sales org and dist channel are returned to the form by using the web service? For example, if a material record has 2 sales orgs with different dist channels and the user is only interested in one, is it possible for the web service to return the material record and only the one sales org? Or, does this need to be handled by the form? Thanks for any input.

Hello Steven,
currently there is no filter functionality in MDM Web services 7.1 for tuple values or qualified
lookup values.
For the next MDM release we are planning to have a new operation for retrieving multi tuple
values as standalone operation, by which the user will be able to filter the
tuple values by member field's criteria.

Matthias

Can MDM Web Services return qualifier values?

We are running MDM 5.5 SP06 Patch04 (we will be doing a technical upgrade to MDM 7 later this year).
I am investigating the MDM web services and came upon a potential problem. In the test harness, I searched for a record, specifying ALL for the result definition and everything seemed to come back except qualifiers; lookup values came back, taxonomy values came back, qualified lookup display values came back, qualified link ids came back, but no qualifier values.
I searched again on the qualified link record ids in the qualified lookup table and I got the non-qualifiers, which is the expected behavior. The qualifiers have to come back with the main table record, though.
Are qualifiers not fully supported in the MDM 5.5 web services, or am I not searching properly?
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi Doug
For me all are working good.
Can you look at pages 24-26 from "Portal content development guide"

Can MDM Web Services pull rich content?

Is it possible to pull images, PDF's and other rich content out of MDM using web services? We are attempting to find the best method to front the information from our MDM repository to a Ecommerce website. This is a non-sap website built on .NET 4.0 framework so .NET API's did not work since SAP only supports .NET 3.5.
What options should we consider to retrieve our catalog data to an external site?
Thanks in advance

Hi Klimek,
I don't think current MDM web service support rich content retrieval, you have to use kinds of API to implement this function. Considering the fact your .NET framework doesn't work, you can try to encapusulate this part of function into the web service by using JAVA API, and deploy the customized web service onto the relevant server.
I'm not sure whether we could retrieve the binary data from database level, anyway you can take a try.

Can "SPML Web Service Complex Data Type field" take multiple values ?

In Generic Technology Connector's -SPML design parameters section, Can we give multiple values in SPML Web Service Complex Data Type field?
If not, how can i call methods directly instead of calling them through a values of the "name" attribute of the "complexType" element in SPML Web Service Complex Data Type?
I need 'SPML Web Service Complex Data Type' to hold multiple values.And based on the request it has to initiate appropriate method of action.
Presently i have three methods add,modify and delete which i am calling through a single value of the "name" attribute of the "complexType" element in SPML Web Service Complex Data Type.
I want to replace this single value with multiple menthods , so that a direct interaction between the method,OIM and target can be established.

Thanks Robert.
You'll need to create your own interface to the webapp database for those kind of data operations
by this, are you speaking of the internal BC database which stores web app schema data? That would be great if it were possible to update that programmatically because I need to use the List (Checkbox List) field type (for the search functionality), but I need to supply the checkbox options from a web app rather than by manually updating the list entered in the Fields view of the web app settings (shown below).
I'm curious if anyone else has tried this?
Again, my reason for needing to use the List (Checkbox List) field type is that the page which processes searches knows to expect a comma separated list for this field type and then appears to be parsing out the individual values for searching out web app items with 1 or more matching values. You're right that text fields (string and multiline) just check for 'string contains' matches, and this would be ok if I was only ever needing to search just one value at a time. Here's an example of what I might do:
Web App item field value (as recorded against the List (Checkbox List) field type:
8294877,8294878
Web App Search value (for this same field):
8294879,8294877,8294885
The search would return this web app item because the field contains 2 (1 or more) individual values even though they were entered into the search field in a different order. If this web app item were just a Text (string or multiline) field, the searched value is not a substring of the web app item's stored value, so it would not find a match. Hence the need to use Checkbox List field type.
The web app will have thousands if not 10s of thousands of records, so dumping them all into one big array or object and searching on the front-end won't be practical (though it works great on smaller datasets).

MDM Web Service Generator - How to Call WS in Java?

Hi there,
I have generated a web service by navigating to http://<server>:<port>/mdm/wsgenerator - The web service is succesfully generated and deployed. I can easily test the web service using the WS Navigator (http://<server>:<port>/wsnavigator).
I am now trying to use NWDS7.2 to create a wrapper web service, and need to call my generated MDM WS using Java code. I have created a CAF project, and imported the MDM web service using the WSDL. I have created an application service and no matter what I try, I cannot get the MDM web service to instantiate.
Is there anyone that has done this before? What method should be used?
All I need to know is how to create an instance of the generated MDM web service - There is no obvious constructor to use. See my code below, but this creates an exception at runtime for "IndexOutOfBoundsException". Note that the web service I generated is called "MdmWfProjectUpdate"
service = new MdmWfProjectUpdateViDefaultService(
                              new java.net.URL(
                                          "http://<server>:<port>/MdmWfProjectUpdate/HTTPBasic?wsdl"),
                              new javax.xml.namespace.QName(
                                          "urn:MdmWfProjectUpdateWsd/HTTPNone", "MdmWfProjectUpdateVi_DefaultService"));
I can call other web services without a problem in my code, so it is quite confusing that I cannot get this to work...
Any help will be appreciated!

Hi david ,
When u imported this webservice,there will be lot of classes generated .In these classes some are executable classes.Like if your webservice contain some operations like update,create,delete.
then for each operation tere will be one executable class generated.
this class must have some function like execute or invoke.You have to call this function in order to get the results.
Just check whether is there any such class generated or not.
Kindly revert back with your results.
Thanks,
sudhanshu

Using MDM Web Services

Hi
Did any of you work on MDM Web Services? We have a requirement to search on MDM using the web services provided. The documentation talks about how to enable these web services in Netweaver stack but does not have a clue on how to access them using PI.
Can any one help? Below are the SAP documentation links for the same.

How to Add Industry Code in web Ui search result List

Hello Friends,
I need some help from you...
We have a Requirement like In Business Partner (BP) we have Identification tab in that we have again Industries. My client requirement is they need Industry codes In WEB UI Search Result list. Could you please tell me how can i add this in Search result list.
Please find the below Mentioned Screen shorts.
Regards
Mohammad

Hello Mohammed,
That is totally easy. You just have to add a new attribute in the BOL-object for the result list.
- Either a value attribute
- Or better a model attribute of the BOL-object where industry code is in
You also need to think about what to show if a business partner has several industry codes like in your case. I normally only show 1:1-attributes in the result-list.
Best regards,
Thomas Wagner

MDM Web Service authentication issue. How to use ?

Hi,
I' am a Microsoft technology person I' am working on integrating SAP MDM 7.1 to SharePoint 2010 using MDM Web Services interface and consuming the same in .NET custom component.
I tried the WS with "None" authentication and it worked great.
I' am having issues understanding how HTTPAuthentication with SAP Logon ticket authentication works in MDM.
Created the authentication enabled web service and while testing in NetWeaver WS Navigator, it throws me exception, not able to establish session with repository for user XYZ.
Please help me with the following queries I have:
1) How to test a authentication enabled web service in NetWeaver WS Navigator ? Do the user id/password needs to be set in the "Invocation Parameters" ? Link to any article etc will be appreciated.
2) How to pass the MDM user credentials (or just the username) in the MDM web service in .NET code. I didn't see any parameter in the Client class constructor to pass the same, nothing related to that found in the code that gets generated on adding the service reference.
As per the documentation on the MDM security, looks like a trust relationship also needs to be configured on MDM - allow.ip file entries.
However first I want to understand how to pass this information in Web Services through code.
SharePoint   -
(1)--> SAP PI -(2)--
> SAP MDM
(integrated with Active Directory                        (Where Web services are deployed     (have its own user accounts)
so logged in user is already authenticated)          and have its own user accounts)
The trust relationship configuration could solve the problem of authentication marked in second hop (2) by registering the IP address of PI server.
Please help me understand how would it work to solve the first hop (1) problem and what needs to be done.
Thanks,
Parvinder

Thanks Gaurav.
The link talks about setting up the Trust with MDM server.
The code sample provided there has the following step where user name is being set and passed to MDM:
Use command to authenticate user session on trusted connection
       TrustedUserSessionCommand tuscTrustedUser =
       new TrustedUserSessionCommand(mySimpleConnection);
       // Set the user name to use
       tuscTrustedUser.setUserName(UsernameAsString);
       tuscTrustedUser.setSession(session);
       tuscTrustedUser.execute();
       session = tuscTrustedUser.getSession();
I want to understand how to do that for MDM Web Services.
I didn't see any method accepting this user name while calling the web service method / creating client object.
So that link is still missing.
Appreciate if anyone can help me with that.
This is for MDM 7.1
Thanks,
Parvinder

according to the MDM web services guide
any ideas?
thx
Shai

Hi Shai,
Make sure that you enter the correct Userrname and password when doing the configuration in the VA,for that particular Webservice.
You need to mention the credentials of the MDM created Username and pwd.
Additionally can also refer the below links:

In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)?

Hello, all.
In iTunes 11.0.2.26, an Albums search by track names returns albums as if they only have one track on them, but I still want to access the entire album. How can I have the search results show the entire album (with just the searched for name highlighted)? For instance, I'm wanting to play an album with a particular track on it or I'm searching for albums that include that track. iTunes incorrectly assumes that all I'm after is that one track and then incorrectly displays the album as if there is only one ttrack on it. This is a bonkers default setting. Can I change this?

Click the search magnifying glass and uncheck "Search entire library".
Type in the name of the track.
Click the album of interest to show tracks.
Select the track.
Press the X in the search box to clear the search.
Double click the track you want to start playing first.

Can you filter iTunes search results by video or audio podcasts?

I have been searching for hours and haven't found a definite answer. Anyone know if this is possible?
Can you filter iTunes search results by video or audio podcasts?

I'm having the same problem. I go to Podcasts/Video Podcasts/News and they only give the featured, favorites (whose?), etc. I want to see all video news podcasts but if I then click on see all, it drops the video classification and shows all news podcasts. The iTunes search in general leaves a lot to be desired; its not very intuitive or pleasant to use, not the usual Apple experience.

MDM web services and the MDM BP services

Hi *,
I need to know what is the difference between the standard MDM web services and the MDM BP services. How do I decide which set to use?
- Kris

Sorry but what are BP services? Do you mean Business package?
If yes the approaches are completely different - you use Web Services when you have to customise the application and build your logic/functionality into the app. CRUD operations are procided by Web Services - you need to form your wrapper application from scratch and develop!
With BP - it involves least development effort bearing in mind that its all standard content and not yet completely customizable. So based on your requirements plan whether to go for Business Package or Web Services or Java API completely...
