Compact Repository Function- MDM 7.1

Hi Experts,
I need some help as in , Is it like the compact repository option has been not incoprated with MDM 7.1 SP 04 or so.
if yes why ?
or some other option can fulfill its functionality in MDM 7.1 ? how it is impactiong the whole MDM application ?
Deep

Hi Deepak,
if anybody can make it more elobrate ?? this is as per my understanding.
Compacting a repository: When the number of records in an MDM repository has been reduced significantly, the MDM repository becomes sparse and the MDM Server becomes less efficient. You can use the Compact command to reduce the runtime memory used by the MDM repository and increase its speed.
Other SDNers - Can you share some more on Compact repository ??
The Compact operation is a legacy utility designed to renumber record IDs in the unlikely case that the total number of records
in a repository becomes greatly and permanently reduced. Because it changes the ID values of existing records in the repository, Compact does not support expressions, workflows, or other MDM features which expect a recordu2019s ID to remain constant. Due to its rare applicability, its incompatibility with newer MDM features, and the greater memory capacity of modern servers, compact functionality has been removed from the MDM Console as of SP6 Patch 3 and should not be used in prior versions of SAP MDM 5.5 SP6.
For more details Please refer Page no 195-196/353 (MDM Console Reference Guide 5.5)

Difficulties when creating a slave repository on MDM 7.1

Hi Experts,
We're trying to create a Slave repository on MDM 7.1, but when trying to connect to the other DBMS a message shows up saying that it's unable to connect with Database Server.
I went to the MDM log and found the following message:
Service 'MQ0', Schema 'system', ERROR CODE=12154 ||| ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified Last CMD:
Important information:
The servers are different, one for the master and the other for slave. (the DB is also in each correspondent server).
Both servers are on the same network.
The Oracle Listener is up and working, we could telnet it.
Does anybody faced with something similar?
Thanks for the help

GDS repository for MDM server

Greetings,
A couple questions for GDS experts...
1. Is there a GDS repository for MDM server? I am asking about an .a2a file. I am not able to find one. Could you please guide me to the location from where I can download it? Thanks.
2. When we extract data from ERP, it is stored on MDM server. This much I gathered from different presentations but in which repository does it go to?
3. If there is an MDM repository for GDS solution then can we modify it and add more fields to it?
Regards,
-T

Hi,
I checked the directory listing of the folder where I extracted that zip file and as you can see below there is no a2a file.

Refresh the repository function

Hi:
We have some custom functions store in repository.
When create new crystal report, we will add the functions to report and use them in formula.
The user will use infoView to access the reports.
My question is, if we change the repository function, how to let the report function refresh itself? We have about 200 reports.
Thanks.
Eric

Hi,
In the Crystal reporter you have this option.
Go to File->Options->Dependency Checker Tab->Check repository custom functions(under Multi-Report Checking Options group)
It all of the custom functions used in the report(s) and ensures that they are present in the BusinessObjects Enterprise Repository.
->If you have not yet logged onto the Central Management Server (CMS), a warning is generated and no further checking is done.
->The URI of the custom function is validated to ensure that it still exists in the repository. A warning is generated if the custom function no longer exists.
->The version of the local copy is compared and a warning is generated if a newer copy is available in the repository.
Hope this is helpful

CRS Migration: Repository functions Only

Hello,
by the migration of a CR Server XI to CR2008 the Repository functions failed by the migration.
Is there any possibility to migrate only Functions without the other repository elements. Or is it possible to manipulate the BIAR File in order to select only Repository functions by the import and how ..?
Thanx

There is plenty of tablespace space left.
I was able to do the migration by installing the migration repository in a 10.2.05 database and then migrating the access database into this same 11.1.0.7 database. Just couldn't get the repository created in this db.

Hi Folks,
I am currently configuring SRM MDM catalog, and one of the initial steps is to replicate data from SRM to the repository.
After defining repositories and FTP servers, I am running step "start extraction".
Well, the result page prompts me for errors in the 3 different files it is trying to replicate:

What am I missing?
thanks a lot a happy holidays!

Hello Priti,
For accessing the catalog, you have to define the external webservice with the config parameters in SRM System under transaction "SPRO"
Please refer the SRM-MDM Catalog configuration guide.
Hope this will help you.

Error while create or mount a repository in MDM

Hi,
after installing SAP MDM 5.5 SP06 and SAP MaxDB 7.6.00.35 on the same hardware (Laptop with Windows NT Client) I started MDM Console, mounted the MDM Server and then started the MDM Server (green arrow).
When I try to add a repository (unarchiving an existing or creating a new one) I enter the data (DBMS eerver, User-ID and password) and then I always get the same error message:
"Error Getting DBMS Settings" --> "Error initializing database engine".
Any ideas where the problem is?
thanks and regards
Erich

Hi Jochen ,

I am not able to create repository in MDM 7.1

Hi SDNers,
I am not able to connect to database from my Comsole.
When I tried to unarchieve or create a new repository it will ask Database name, User id and password then only I can enter repository name. When I enter Database name, user id and Password I am getting an error like "Unable to connect to Database Server".
Already I checked these from my end.
1) I checked Database is up or not. Database is up and Running.
2) I tried to logon into database with the user id I am trying in Console. At Database level I am able to login. But when I tried in Console to connect to database I am not able to connect to Database server from concole.
3) I tried changing the password at mds.ini file and restarted the MDM Server also. But still error remain same.
Can anyone help me out why I am getitng that error "Unable to connect to Database Server". I need to add any parameters in mds.ini file. or I am missing any connections parameters
Thanks
Kiran
Edited by: Kiran on Mar 1, 2011 9:29 AM

Hi SDNers,
I tried all above options.
And I raised to SAP. They told like you are in Old Version update to latest Patch MDM 7.1 SP06.
But I dont think If I update Patches to MDM 7.1 SP06 it will solve this problem. But I trying to do that.
Mean while If I see logs at Server level I am able this this error.
Error Message "SQL_ERROR SQLSTATE= 08001, ErrorCode= -1013, Msg=[IBM][CLI Driver] SQL1013N The database alias name or database name "M7P" could not be found. SQLSTATE=42705 GetDiagRec/Connect: 08001(0), ErrorCode= -1013,"
Can you please suggest as I am missing any parameters in MDS.ini file or MDS_List.ini files or any entries at Database level files. Or after Installing Database I need to set any parameter at Database level or MDM level . Just I am wondering where I missed???
Any Help!!!
Thanks

How to Mount a repository in MDM

Hi,
I need to check the repository is mounted or not. If it is not mounted I need to mount the repository in the program.
Can anyone tell me any methods available to do this,.
Thanks & regards
Vijay

I believe you have posted this question in the wrong forum. I think you probably want the MDM forum. Even if you are working with the MDM ABAP APIs, there is nothing Web Dynpro specific there. I would suggest either the MDM or ABAP General Forums.

Stop archiving repository in MDM Console

Hello ,
I wanted to take back up of a repository which had 6000+ records.
I archived the repository in "unloaded" mode some 3 days back and still the status is showing as archiving.
Since the repository was unloaded, I cant use MDM Data Manager.
Does anyone have any idea why is it taking so long to archive the repository?
Also, is there any way as to how can we stop the process of archiving a repository?
Will stopping the MDM server help?
Any help in this regard will b appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Roshani.

Hi,
As 'An' said i too dont think it should take so much time.. for 6000 records either in minutes or max a couple of hours... any ways as you said its still under process might be it got stuck somewhere its better instead of restarting your server, you stop your console, by selecting AltCltDel and then restart you console. and then try to archieve a small repositorya and then you try with the 6000 thousand one....
Cheers,
Cherry.

Link two different repository in MDM

Hi,
In order to address common org elements like company code, currency , Manufacturer etc ;
Is it feasible to create one common-repository main table with all the above field info which is required across many objects(customer,vendor,material etc) and then link the common repository to the individual repository which need some attributes of the common repo information? This is to eliminate creating that common table separately for each individual repositories otherwise.
I am in MDM 5.5 SP04 and trying to understand how I can link/reference the common repository to the individual repositories.
Is it possible by using 'Remote Key' in Import manager for this purpose? How I can bring a repository in source side of IM?
Any idea about the issue is and detail steps of possible solution (excluding Java API route) is appreciated.
-regards, reo

Hi Prashant,
Thanks for the reply.
I was expecting not to load at all the common repo info to the individual repository but just to link them which ever individual repo need it.
Hope I am able to make the point.
For example I am now connecting a lookup table say company-code to my main table. Instead of creating a company code lookup table here , I will link my main table to look the common repository.
This will enable all objects not to create a company-code lookup table in their respective repository but link it to the common repository to populate the data.
Thanks , -reo

Region wise Repository for MDM ?

Hi,
We are in Migration of CCM to MDM.
In CCM we have so many catalogs.
So we are creating 3 repostoteries in MDM based up on the region.
Can any pls let me know the how the supplier data can be replicated to MDM ?
we dont have XI.
Please let me know is there any jobs to replicate.
Regards
Venkatesh P

Hello Venkatesh P
Import manager and mdis help you.
You can configure integration between MDM and CCM without PI.
for data exchange you can use files
1) export data from CCM to file
2) put that file to inbound MDM directory
3) configure mdis for automatic import

Compact Central Repository : how to disable ?

I want to avoid that the developers are able to compact their active central repository.
To do so, I have removed the delete-right from the database account with which we connect to the central repository.
Consequently, the compact central repository fails. This is the expected result.
However, I notice that a "Add To Central Repository" operation does not work anymore. (error message saying that there will be a delete in the table AL_OBJ_PERMS)
What is the best way to disable the Compact Central Repository command ?
Thanks

I don't think its possible to disable the compact repo functionality for central repo, only thing is it gives a warning when you try to compact the repo but doesn't prevents you from doing that
instead of disabling delete for the database is it possible to disable delete from some of the selected tables ?

MDM interfaces does not exist in XI repository

we just installed MDM 5.5 SP3 and imported the XI MDM content into the XI repository. but when we try to create business system for R/3 and choose the interfaces, there are no MDM interface for us to choose from. example: CREMDM.CREMDM04, DEBMDM.DEBMDM06, etc. we can see interface mapping in XI repository under MDM 5.5 business content, but no interfaces with names above. what did we miss? anybody has the same problem?
Thanks
Jane

we are on ECC 5.0, system.
it's in the XI system that the interfaces are missing. we tried to create 'external destination', but we got a message says software component can not be changed. we wouldn't think we have to create an external destination for pre-delivered content, or is it so?
Thanks
Jane
