Cost of MDM Repository CONNECT

I have a WebDynpro application which is creating, retrieving, updating and deleting records from/into MDM repository.
I use MDM ABAP API to access the repository. I use IF_MDM_ACCESSOR->CONNECT every time the user tries to retrieve the possible values for each input filed. Then I disconnect (IF_MDM_ACCESSOR->DISCONNECT).
I wonder what is the cost fo connecting and disconnecting from MDM repository? And is it wisdom to connect to MDM one time and fetch all possible values for all possible input fields (which might take a while) in one hit?
Please advise.

Hello Abdulla Dubaisy
You can use one connection for all your operations
only check timeout parameters in mds.ini file:

MDM Repository not Connecting after Server shifting

Hi,
Here We have SAP MDM 7.1 06 on Windows Server 2008 R2 with Oracle.
Recently we have shifted our MDM Server from 1 Data Center to Another Data Center, After this change MDM Instances started successfully.
1st Problem:
Now the problem is, i am not able to connect repository (Error is: Repository connect failed, Invalid Object State). After i mount the MDM Server in console, repository not connecting.
2nd Problem:
when i right click on MDM Server in Console, even i am not able to connect Databse in DBMS Setting (Error is: Unable to connect with Database server).
Need Help to fix this issue at the earliest.
Did some searches on net and sdn forums but couldn't get right solutions.
Thanks in Advance
Thanks
Ahmed

Dear All,
Thanks For your support.
The issue has been solved.
Problem was: MDM Server and Repository was not connecting to DB, due to sever shifting to new location with different public IP.
Solution is: when i check the tnsnames.ora file in the below location Old public IP was given so, now i just changed the newly assigned public IP, (Under file path: <Drive>:\oracle\SID\product\11.2.0\dbhome_1\NETWORK\ADMIN).
After the change and update of new public IP in tnsnames.ora, we have restart the MDM instances and DB from OS Level.
After this activity, DB connection issue was solved, then now i am able to connect to existing MDM repository.
Thanks
Ahmed

MDM WebServices Problem while connecting to MDM repository

Hello,
we have installed the Web Services for MDM.
When I test the Services, say the MDMSearchRecords I always get a ERROR status and the Message:
id (String) WS_LogonProblem
severity (String) ERROR
text (String) Problem while connecting to MDM repository: z_Material on server: debmu416.server..... at port: 4000. Maybe the Repository-Information has not been set correctly at the requested query.
status (String) FAIL
The Repository Information I try to connect with is correct (Repository Name, Server Name, Port, data Language and schema Language).
Can you pls tell me where the problem could be?
Points will be generously rewarded!
Best Regards,
Mircea

Hi Arun,
Thanks a lot!
you were right! The WebServices version was too old.
Now I can connect to the Repository in Test mode.
I get some other error Messages, like "Field Material_Number is not defined at Table Products." and "Repository Data is not available in the requested Language ." which isn' right.
Do you have a clue where this could come from?
BR,
Mircea

Unable to connect to MDM repository

Hi ,
I was able to create a new MDM repository by using my DB uid/pwd.The newly created repository appears under the MDM server in a locked state.When I try to connect using my admin uid/pwd,it says "Invlaid login credentials".I am able to login to other repository using the same uid/pwd on the same server.
Regards,
premjit

Hi,
There may be following issues :
1. in corrrect Login/PW: in case you don;t remember the login PW you need to retrieve the PW from Database. Or as suggested try with Admin/blank for MDM 5.5 and Admin/SAPMDM for MDM 7.1.
2. try to unmount and mount the server, then try loggin to the repos.
let us know if it worked.

Problem: Unable to retrieve workflow data from MDM repository

This is a new MDM installations scenario for version 5.5 SP05 (5.5.40.83).
After installing MS Visio, finding problems connecting it with the MDM Data Manager. After doing MDM workflow installations, able to initiate the MS Visio Workflow from MDM Data Manager and can see the Pane-MS Visio Workflow Stencil but not the able to see the Pane-MS Visio Workflow Stencil Details that appears below the Pane-MS Visio Workflow Stencil. Secondly geting a pop-up with the error message as - 'Unable to retrieve workflow data from MDM repository.'
I have added a parameter Mail Server=MailServerIPAddess (the existing IP addr), but it hasn't helped.
Can any one please help me in this !

Hi
As Felix mentioned, it might be a version compatibility problem.
You have also mentioned that mail server is not working for that do this
Mailserver = SMTP server.company.com ( ex. Mail.company(xxxxx).com)
MDM workflow notify task is working after rebooting the Machine. So the rule is after making changes to MDS.ini file reboot the machine ,to observe the consequence of configurable changes.
If u need anything this let me know.

Creating MDM repository for Material Master Data

Hello MDM Gurus,
I am new to SAP MDM. I want to create MDM repository for Material Master. What I unddertand is, I can create repository using Bussiness Content shiped with MDM software. I will copy *.a2a file to archive folder of MDM server and unarchive repository. I have following question for you.
1. HOw do I use export maps and import maps which I found in Busines contenst\Material folder?
2. How do I use MDM Lookup Tables which is xml document in Busines contenst\Material folder?
3. Why is the use of MDMGX_55520_Material.txt file which I found in Busines contenst\Material folder?
4. What is the use of *.xsd files and how can I use them?
Thanks,
Bhupesh

Hi Bhupesh
1. HOw do I use export maps and import maps which I found in Busines contenst\Material folder?
save all the map files on your loacl machine. open import manager and select file-> Import, browse to the .map file and save the map with a meaningful name. now next time connect to the source file you want to import and OPEN the map saved.
2. How do I use MDM Lookup Tables which is xml document in Busines contenst\Material folder?
Businees content contains the standard ECC refernce tables like countries, regions etc which can be refreshed from ECC. for this you have to configure MDMGX, defining all the ports in MDM and in ECC the tables from which data has to be refreshed. refer to below threads for details.
Extract Data usnig MDMGX
How to Export Materials from ERP to MDM 7.1 via MDMGX?
3. Why is the use of MDMGX_55520_Material.txt file which I found in Busines contenst\Material folder?
This helps us in configuring the table extraction from ECC, refer to thread-> Extract Data usnig MDMGX
4. What is the use of *.xsd files and how can I use them?
Schema files are used for syndicating the records from MDM to source system. Say we want to syndicate material master from MDM to ECC and in ECC they will be posted via MATMAS05 IDoc. these schemas are the structure of IDoc which will contain the values which will be syndicated from MDM.
Let me know if you know some more details.

Ravi

MDM-BI Connectivity

Hi all
the problem of conectivity MDM ABAP API still persist. I have given all the configuration parameters correctly and also i have made a allow.ip file and added the ip of server to be connected there and placed at the MDM SERVER at the right path. I have taken the restart of the server also.
I have already created the repository with the same name and made the same user id in MDM side.
But still i am getting the error : Server return code 0xFFAA0225: The connection is not trusted.
Can you plz provide with the solution because you have done the same thing.
Regards
Devinderpal yadav

Hi Devendrapal,
You are asking about user mapping it is not a big issue to get confuse about.
When we create a repository default user Admin with blank password get genereted in the user's table of MDM repository.
You log into the repository with Admin and create a new user ex ABC . Now dissconect the repository and try to connect with user ABC this time user name ABC will be mapped and get verified with the user ABC available in User;s table of repository and then only U will be able to connect to repository.
Same case is in MDM ABAP API ,Suppose you user name for BI is ABC and passwors is ******* When you create a repository using MDM ABAP API you must have an entry of user ABC in the User's table of the same repository U r trying to connect because you are logged in into BI with User ABC and trying to connect to repository through MDM ABAPAPI
so first create a repository and make an entry ABC as user in user's table of the repository and it must be in block letters.
Here a user mapping will be performed between the user name, you have created aloow.ip file so it is a trusted server connection so no need to pass password.
*******Also you talked about the versions of MDM and BI. Can you plz tell how to compare both the versions and where to check it.How to check weather they are compatible or not.*******
I dont think that there is any issue of versions of BI and MDM because for MDM ABAP API you need to install MDM_TECH Add-on patch that must be compatible to the MDM Server Version .
But Devendrapal as you haev mentioned that you are facing an error like "server error return code offx....."
this type of error occurs on ly when there is some problem with BI and MDM connectivity(check allow.ip file).
when there is any proble with versioning then an error like "crc check file not found will occure".
Hope it will clear you confusion.
Reward if helpfull.
Thanks,
Vinay Yadav

"the MDM repository is invalid"

Hej All
Vi have updatered our MDM server with standard update from Microsoft. Later on we can't start MDM services, therefore after "a long fight" it was decided to restore repositories in that way:
we restored a backup of the MDM database on the newly installed server. Afterwards we copied the MDM directories from the old server. we changed the servername in all configuration files and started the MDM systems.
All seems to be fine but each time we log on to repository we got an error:
"the MDM repository is invalid"
can you help?
Thank you in advance.

Rafal

Hi Rafal
just few questions to you
1) Have you checked the connection between your MS Sql and SAP MDM Server ?
2) If you have then are you able to create the repository manuallly?
if you have made the connection and still you are not able to create the repository manually then please reset the connection again, also plz check if the name of this particular repository you are trying the log in is ceated in your MDIS, MDS and MDSS.
if every thing seems to be right then please again import the schema of your old repository and then log with admin user and check if you are able to connect to the repository.
if still you are unable to log in please let us know.
Thanks and Regards
Praful

Repository Connection failed

Hi
I am on MDM Server 5.5 SP05 Patch 02. When I am trying to connect to repository its giving following error :
Repository connect failed;please try again
Error:Unhandled Exception.
I tried with both users Admin and Master. Also I am having 2 repositories on the same Server and for both repository, its giving same error. Can anyone help on this?

Hi Sapbasis,
You need to stop and start your MDM Server .This should rectify your problem.
Try unmounting all your rep .
Stop your mdm server
restart it
mount your rep again
If it does not work then check your datbase configuration as well
hope it helped
Thanks

Runtime repository connects on remote system fails in connection

Hi,
I've created runtime repository and access users and target schema on linux server through owb server install. Sqlplus onnections from my window2k PC work OK for all 3 users.

When I bring up deployment manager and try to connect to the remote target through this connection, it fails with RTC-5260:failed to connect to runtime platform...,and ORA_01017:invalid username/password. Also, I notices a java thread on the remote linux server was created each time I tried the connection .
I have the connection alias under both OWB and OracleDB tnsnames. What's the problem?

Edited by: 890922 on Oct 30, 2011 8:25 PM

You need to supply the "Key Store Location", "Key Store Password", "Private Key Alias" and "Private Key Password' to use socketssl.
Also please make sure that the content server has enabled "Use SSL". You can configure it using the enterprise manager.

Uploading images whit thumbnail to MDM repository using Java API

Hello,
can someone tell me how to upload images whit thumbnail to MDM repository using Java API?
i get following message using setHasThumbnail(true):
com.sap.mdm.commands.CommandException: com.sap.mdm.internal.protocol.manual.ServerException: Ungültiger Wert für Parameter
thanks

You can upload images to MDM via the API, but the only way to create thumbnails is via the MDM Data Manager application which uses some embedded libraries to do the work.
