Change Tracking in Portal

Hi,
I have enabled change tracking for 4 fields in MDM.
2 fields are integer fields and 2 are Lookup fields.
Now, in Portal we have launched change tracking application.
In the Records Column - in Portal Changetracking table..
I can see -> 11,109227=Lookup field 1, 13, 108337=Lookup Field 2
why is it displaying some numbers infront of the Lookup value??
i would expect it to show something like -> 11,Lookup field 1, 13,Lookup Field 2
Does anyone know why it is showing like this???
Is it possible to show as i required??
Please Help

I guess only option is to customize the Iviews/Webdynpro code if you want to display on Portal. Use the following link -
Configuring the MDM Change Tracker Application - http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm71/helpdata/en/45/e518fb21cf4ebce10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
Also for your question to read from a standard guide that the problem you are facing is normal, please refer section - Running the Change Tracker in Stand-Alone Mode in the same link as above.
"permid [optional] The permanent Id of the MDM record
Represented by placeholder <rp> when used in the MDM Data Manager Web tab.
The value is a permanent record Id u2013 it returns the permanent Ids of the selected record. The format of the response for the <rp> placeholder is: nRecs:id1;id2;id3u2026..
nRecs is the number of selected records followed by a colon. The selected record permanent Ids are separated by semicolons.
Since you select a single record in a change tracker application, the response for the <rp> placeholder is: 1:id1"

Change Tracker implementation in portal

Hi,
while implementing change tracker in Portal , one important point to be notted is to assign the below mention UME action to the roles created. Otherwise you will get MDM authorization error.
UME Action are as follows:
tcmdmchangetrackersecurity-> MDM_CHANGE_TRACKER

To change the client in Portal:
1. UME connects to you have to start the configtool found at \usr\sap\<SID>\<Instance>\j2ee\configtool\configtool.bat or .sh depending on your OS.
2. When prompted for DB connection says yes. After that use the last button on the menu which says "switch to configuration editor mode" in it's tooltip. You will see a tree. Move the tree down to cluster_data -> server -> cfg -> services -> Propertysheet com.sap.security.core.ume.service.
3. Open that one in editing mode by pressing the button with the pencil first and then doubleclick the entry u201CPropertysheet..." in the popup navigate to ume.r3.connection.master.client and change the value from 000 to whatever client you need it to connect to.
4. Restart the server.
5. The same thing can be done from the Admin tool but then the Server needs to be up and running. From configtool you only need to have the database running.

Change Tracker application running slow in Portal

Hello Everyone,
We are having standard SAP Change Tracker application in SAP Portal. It is taking 5mts lo load initially and also its taking the same time for retrieving and displaying the data. I request you to share your ideas on this.
Thanks & Regards,

Hi Gabor,
Thanks for your reply!
We have checked that note and we have indexes existing for few other fields as well in the table, but still we are facing the same issue.

Not able to view actual Price updated 'Value' in Change Tracker

I was able to get my Change tracker to work and it is functioning. (SRM 5.0 MDM5.5 )... Configured Portal iViews for change tracker.
If I change a description I can see it in the change tracker application. But if I try and track a Price change it only shows me a date-time and user as to I when the price was changed it doesnu2019t show me the actual value changed, for my audit purposes.
On the portal the change tracker "Field" dropdown shows -> Price Updated. this is what is tracking any change of price.
In MDM Console-> Admin->Change Tracker I am tracking under Catalog Items: Price information, Price Updated, Special search terms, long description.
When I look at the Data manager in the Record Detail, I see u2018Price Updatedu2019 and it only has a Date and time stamp. In this same Record Detail, I see the field Price Information that contains :Lower bound, Purchasing Info record ID, Purchasing Organization, Amount and Currency. Amount-> contains the actual price value. This is what i want to see in the portal iView as Old value and New value....this is what I am unable to view? theres one small step i am not doing...
I am trying to track the actual change in the filed u2018Amountu2019u2026 I have tried to search for it in the Portal iView fields (table, record contains, fields, record)
cheers

Hi Alex,
I would not here comment on change Tracking functionality but can you suggest another workaround to achieve this requirement. If it fits in your requirement you can go ahead with it.
In MDM, Create another field in Main table say Initial Price and for already existing field Amount replace its name with Updated Price in Qualified table Price.
now after this you will see that your by default Updated Price has values as it was your Amount field earlier and Initial Price field as empty. Now for next time, if any record comes using Import Manager then MDM workflow should trigger at Record Import.
This workflow contains following steps.
Start(Checkout)>Assign>Stop(CheckIn)
Assign step should have below expression and assignment:
Price Information.Updated Price
Where I am assuming Price Information is the field in main table which is look up to this qualified table Price.
So in this way you can maintain both existing and updated values of Price and cant then show in your Catalog.
suppose you have already existing record say 1 which has value of Amount as 20.
So that means you have Updated Price as 20 and Initial Price as empty(Null)
Now when same record 1 updates with new Amount say 40, it triggers this workflow on record import which will then assign value of existing updated Price 20 to Initial Field after that Updated Price will update by 40.
Note: This Assignment works well only if your main table record has this Qualified table link as single record. If your main table record contains more than one qualified links then this Assignment would not work fine. So use only if it fits.

Change Tracking Option in Console

I have enabled change tracking option in console at Table and field level for add/modify/delete.
Please let me know where I can see the logs for the changes accomplished.

Hi Sudha,
See as per your console settings, everything happened at Database Level table A2i_CM_History so its up to you how do you want to see these record changes either through some Portal application for end user or at database level or through some other UI.
[How to Configure SAP MDM Change Tracker for Any Repository to bring this changes on Webdynpro Application for end user|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/807861ac-f941-2c10-8f8d-c57f9d421b99?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]
Please refer this blog if you want to see these changes at the database level just for complete understanding.
/people/balas.gorla/blog/2006/09/08/change-tracking-in-mdm
See figure 5 of this blog before data changes in Data Manager and the same data record in figure 9 of database.
Now when he make changes to record in figure 10 Data manager the same gets reflected into Database figure 11.
In fig 11 , please carefully see all the columns NewValue, OldValue, EventTime, FieldName, UserName etc.
Hope you got now clear idea about change tracking in MDM

Change Tracking Webdynpro Component Error

I am using CE 7.11 SP04 with MDM 7.1 SP04.
Installed all the 2 webdynpro components.
Configured change tracking on MDM, also configured change tracking iView on CE.
Issue1:
When I run change tracking as an iView through Portal , the logoff button on change tracking iView throughs null pointer exception.
Issue2:
I am consuming the change tracking webdynpro component on my custom webdynpro wrapper.
I have added the following code to pass the id and lookup table as per the how tto guide to consume MDM webdynpro's.

int permId = permIds[0];
wdThis.wdGetMDMChangeTrackerInterface().setPermanentId(permId); // until here it works fine
wdThis.wdGetMDMChangeTrackerInterface().selectLookupTable(""+tableId.getIdValue()); // it throws null pointer exception here in SAP delivered change tracking component. Not sure whether it is SAP bug. Has anyone faced same issue?
Any help is appreciated!}

JDBC Alias should be provided as the Application Parameter for webdynpro not in the URL.

Change Tracker Authorization error

Dear All,
We have set up MDM change tracking application in SAP MDM 7.1 SP6.
Inspite of having all Admin authorizations rights in the portal,
I receive error : You do not have the authorization to use MDM Change tracker application.
Where are the authorisations for the Change tracker set?
Please suggest !
Regards,
Harmony

Harmony -
In portal you must be having portal Role property editor you can choose assign action tabs and check for MDM_CHANGE_TRACKER.
since you are configuring this on standard process is Create an iView using the context menu of the iView folder. and then in iview wizard select WD java application as source and i think then choose iview type.
Choose your source object tcmdmchangetracker u2192 com.sap.mdm.MdmChangeTracker u2192 MdmChangeTracker
this iview must be under sap.com u2192 MdmChangeTracker branch
you also need to configure the JDBC alias parameters
after that this iview can be placed on portal page.
also you need to download sca files from service market place prior to install Change tracker. JDBC driver needs to insink with the Database as well. and i don't think any additional setting required in SAP MDM console. let us know your findings.

thx

Unable to deploy the .sca file for the Change tracker.

Hi all,
We can not able to deploy the change tracker through SDM as it is asking for the dependencies are missing.
Portal version EP 7.0 EHP1
MDM version 7.1 sp 5.
we have followed the below link for deploying
MDM change tracking with MDM 7.1 SP06 & EP version u2013 CE 7.2 SP01? but after downloading the MDM_WEB_UI from market place it is asking for 24+ dependencies for change tracker.
so please suggest.
regards,
Manohar.

Hello,
The version and the patch level should be same for MDM as well as EP.
Since this is an EP issue, for quick replies, post this in [Portal Forum|http://forums.sdn.sap.com/index.jspa?categoryID=1#2]

MDM Change tracker iView not fetching the data?

Hello Experts,
we have MDM Change tracker application deployed and assigned to some role in portal. However, the problem is fields like "Table" etc are blank. I am not able to fetch any data in it. I have activated change tracking for the required table in MDM backend as well.
I was following this blog: /people/balas.gorla/blog/2006/09/08/change-tracking-in-mdm
It is mentioned that some DB setting have to be done and some query to be written. I am confused, I have an iView in portal so do I still need to write the query? Or what is that I am missing?
Please help.
Ameya

Hi Ameya,
The SQL query written in the mentioned blog is just to recheck the data.
Please recheck the settings using these documents:

Change Tracker does not automatically log in

Good day,
Could you please assist. We have just successfully upgraded our MDM patch. The problem is that when a user is logged in to Data Manager, previously they could automatically be logged into the Change Tracker tab at the bottom. Now, it prompts the user for their logins before allowing them access. Is there any way we can automatically provide access again?
Thank you.
Regards,
Simni

Hi Simni,
As you have posted this question into Portal Implementation forum, I assume that you are using MDM Change Tracker application in Portal. However, if you are getting issue with the change tracker tab in Data Manager, you should post your question into MDM Forum.
Coming back to your question, after patch upgrade, have you made it sure that Change Tracker Data Source is working normally as it was previously? Do check that both MDM Destinations and Data Source are working fine.

Issue in change tracking table on subscriber after reinitialization the subscriber

Hi All,
We have enabled change tracking on the subscriber tables and its getting dropped during a reinitialization.we are running an ETL on the subscriber tables basing on change Tracking.Our Initial ETL runs once and incremental ETL runs after that but
after reinitialization i am getting fresh data and my initial ETL has already run.So how can i resolve this issue.Can't renireinitialization be done without disabling the Change Tracking.
Kindly provide your feedback.
Thanks

The article property Action if name is in use correlates to the

Issue in Change tracker application

Hi all,
We have enabled Change tracking in our repository when it was enabled there were only 3 Display fields in our repository and the tracking was done as is in the change tracking application under the column Record shows all the Display fields.
Now because of business requirements we have activated another field in our repository as a Display field, now when i login to change tracking application old records under Record column still shows the 3 Display fields in the Record column of the change tracker application.
I went and changed a record which falls in the Change tracking criteria, now i see 4 Display fields in the Record column of change tracker application as there are 4 display fields currently.
There is an in consistency in the data in the application now for few records there are 3 and 4 fields in the record column. Is this how the system behaves?
I think the logic is like this when ever there is a change happening in the repository, insert query is used to update the A2I_CM_History table with the existing data(at that moment how many fields were enabled as DISPLAY )with out any relationship to the Main table Display fields. Please correct me if i am wrong, it was just an assumption.
If any workarounds to this problem will be of a great help.
regards
Sowseel

Hi Gabor,

We have checked that note and we have indexes existing for few other fields as well in the table, but still we are facing the same issue.

Change Tracking in SQL 2012 - Behavior Change

Hi,
We observed some change in behavior for Change Tracking feature in SQL 2012 Express. Sequence is as follows,
CT is not enabled at DB level. (Of course at table level too)
Created and populated table CTTEST with some rows, say 10 rows
Enabled CT at DB level
Enable CT for table CTTEST
Queried change tracking data, using change table function (select CT.* from CHANGETABLE(changes CTTEST, 0) CT). No rows returned. Perfect.
Updated few existing rows
Queried change tracking data using CHANGETABLE function as above. Now it returns the modified records. But SYS_CHANGE_OPERATION column shows as 'U', indicating update. Same scenario was tested in SQL 2008 Express, and we got SYS_CHANGE_OPERATION column
as 'I', indicating as Insert.
Is this a change in behavior? Can somebody clarify this?
Note: SQL Version is, "Microsoft SQL Server 2012 - 11.0.2100.60 (X64) Express Edition (Build 7601: Service Pack 1)"

Please note that I am not talking about CDC, but CT - Change Tracking and that too in Express edition.
Yes, I know, when we update primary key value, we will get a delete and insert transactions in CT. But my scenario is different. I am updating the rows, which are already available prior to enabling Change Tracking in that table. In that case only, I am
observing this.

Change Tracking System in SQL Server 2012

Hi,
I have enabled change tracking to one of the database with retention period 1 day and auto clean is true. As per this setting changed data of one day old should get cleaned up automatically. But i am able to see 4 days
old data also using CHANGETABLE function. Let me know is there any other setting or is this an issue in SQL server 2012 which quires some patch?
SQL Server configuration: SQL Server 2012, Enterprise Edition, 64 bit.
Thanks in advance for the support.
