Change Tracking MDM 7.1

Hi All,
I want to understand the change tracking capability of MDM 7.1 SP04. Can we track the changes done of Tuple member and also for changes done in Qualified table fields (All qualifiers and non qualifiers fileds).
Request your feedback on the same.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Rahul

Hi Rahul
Change tracking is not supported for Qualified fields as well as for tuples.

  • How to track changes in text [column type]  changes in MDM

    Hi,
    How to keep track changes in Text[column type] in MDM tables.Is it the only way that I have to declare it as Name field?

    Hi,
    You keep track of changes for a field by enabling change tracking for that field in MDM.  This functionality is available in the MDM Console. 
    For more information  please have a look at the MDM Console Reference Guide -> Part 4: Repository Maintenance -> Other System Tables -> Change Tracking Table
    The MDM Console Reference Guide can be found in http://service.sap.com/instguides -> SAP NetWeaver -> Release 04 -> Operations -> SAP MDM -> MDM 5.5 SP02 - Console Reference Guide

  • How to get the Reports of Change Tracking Table in MDM?

    Hi!
    Please tell me how to get the reports of Change Tracking Table in MDM which is a System table, directly from MDM without using any interface.
    Thanks in advance for the reply.
    With Best Regards
    Devendra Pandey

    Hi Devendra,
    MDM can track changes on tables and fields. <u>The level of change tracking, and which tables/fields to track, are configurable in the MDM Console</u>. MDM opens a new database on the same database engine as the MDM repository and writes all change records to this database.
    For information of various steps you can visit

  • 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

    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,

  • Change Tracking in MDM

    We have a requirement to create sequential AutoID for each master record created/changed.  I don't see any problem for generating sequential number for master data request for new record.  Problem is with change records - How to generate seqential number for change records?  AutoID field doesn't increase the number for change records. 
    Example -
    New Record - AutoID 1- Material A
    New Record - AutoID 2 - Material B
    New Record - AutoID 3 - Material C
    Now next request is to change Material B.  SAP MDM tool just save same record after change for AutoID-2.  No new number will be generated for this change record. 
    I some how need to create

  • MDM parameter replacement values for Change Tracking

    Hi! I am able to set up the Change Tracking function and able to view the data via web and Data Manager. On reading the Help documentation on the set up for Data Manager, it mentioned about the parameters which we can use to get dynamic value from Data Manager for the specific record (for the set up of the link URL).
    Does anyone know what parameter replacement value that would be if we want the system to assign the record number base on the record we select?
    Below is any extract of the help document on the search record:
    searchrecord [optional]
    The record for which history records are initially displayed
    The searchtable and searchrecord parameters can get dynamic values from the Data Manager at runtime by using the relevant MDM parameter replacement values.
    Appreciate any help on the above.

  • 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?

  • Change Tracker in MDM

    Hello All,
          Can you please let me know, how many values get stored in a change tracker.
    For example -- if change tracker is on... for a field Color....
    and I change the value of it from.... Blue  to Red ... then to Green....
    In that case.. will all the 3 value (i.e Blue, Red and Green ) store in the change tracker table at backend????
    Or only the last update value... i.e Red and Green will be stored??
    Can we see all these values in EP.. through standard iViews... or we need to create custom iViews to view these data???
    Request you inputs.
    Thanks,
    Priya.

    Hi Priya,
    Only on saving , the values will get stored in database.
    If you save for all three values , then all three will get saved.
    The old value and new value both entries will be stored in database and can be retrieved by standard change tracker view.

  • 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
    alex

    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 Tracker via Web Pane not working (when using multiple DF fields)

    All,
    We are using MDM 5.5 SP06, version 5.5.62.53
    I have configured the Change Tracker so that I can use it in the Data Manager Web pane. I also set the configuration options of the Data Manager for the "Web Pane URL for selected records" to this link, so everything should work fine (it is working for another reporistory with just one DF field in the main table).
    The main table (for which I want to track the changes on) has two DF fields. The first DF field of the main table is a look-up field (where the look-up table itself has two DF fields as well) and the second DF field of the main table is just a text field.
    The URL link to the Change Tracker makes use of the parameter: searchrecord=<f:n>, as described in the reference guide for MDM Console.
    When I select a record in the Record pane in the Data Manager and go to the Web Pane, then the Change Tracker is showing, but the change history for that record is not shown in the Change Tracker!!
    This is caused by the fact that the records in the History table are stored with the following information in the "record" field (example): 113786=1000010 - Enfa B.V, 100075. Appearantly this is a combination of the two DF fields of the main table, and because the first DF field is a look-up it shows the values of the DF fields of the look-up table as well (including the ID of that look-up record)!!
    I tried the following in the URL link: searchrecord=<f:n>,<f:n2>, but then the Change Tracker receives the following value (which is an invalid value): 1000010, Enfa B.V, 100075
    How can I configure the URL link in the Console in such a way that the Change Tracker recognizes the searchrecord parameter as a valid entry (because when you start Change Tracker in separate browser it expects value of e.g. 113786=1000010 - Enfa B.V, 100075 in the "record" search field, otherwise it does not find any records).
    Or do I need to change the DF fields and make an MDM-ID field to be the only DF field, and use that field in the searchrecord=<f:n> parameter???
    Has anyone any experiences with this? Any suggestions how to solve this issue?
    Thanks in advance,
    Marcel

    Hi,
    We are indeed tracking changes on the main table. It is the standard SRM-MDM Catalog repository where Supplier and Supplier Part Number are the DF fields of the main table. From standpoint of the datamodel these two DF fields are correct, since these two fields make up an unique record.
    Of course I can change the DF field and make the MDM-ID the DF field, but we want to stick as much as possible to the standard SRM-MDM Catalog!
    It would be better if the URL to the Change Tracker has additional parameters that can be filled (like the Record Contains field instead of the Record field) or that you could specify the MDM-ID as parameter (without having to change the DF fields of the main table) so that the Change Tracker knows exactly for which record we require the change history!
    I will investigate futher and see if we can live with the MDM-ID as the only DF field.
    Thanks anyhow for your reply.
    Regards,
    Marcel

    Hi Sudha,

  • 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 -

    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
