Create MDM repository from repository schema.

Hi,
I have exported MDM repository from one MDM console schema and saved it. Now I am trying to create a Repository from a different MDM console using this Schema. I am getting the Error "ERROR LOADING FILE".
The versions of these MDM are different. Is this causing the failure? How can I overcome it?
regards,
MRao

Hi Mahesh,
This is an Un-usual error, which even I am facing. In my case there is no version mis-match. I am trying to take the Export the Schema from a rep in 1 MDM server and then importing into another rep in another server.
Hence it might not be a version issue.
However, check the following things in your case.
1. Check the Original repository for error and repair them if found any. Upload your repository with Updated indices. Export the schema out and save it on your desktop.
2. Try creating a new repository using Import Schema on the same MDM server and check if its still showing you an error.
3. Try importing the schema on an Existing repository on the same MDM server.
4. Try Importing the schema and create a new repository on a different MDMserver.
Please check it in a test environment and no need to press the OK button while Import schema. We just need to see if the Import schema windows opens.
If in any case, you do not find the error, then probably we can understand the clear reason of the Error.
If error still persists, then would advice you to raise an SAP ticket for the same.
Hope this info helps.
Thanks and Regards

Download MDM roles from repository

Hi,
How do I download roles from MDM repostories with their respective functions and tables and fields into an spread sheet.
Rakesh

Are you SQL savvy? Take a look at the database schema MDM creates (on Oracle/SQL Server - whatever you've used).
In the schema named "YourRepository_M000", look for the set of tables starting with A2i_CM_ROLE...
It's pretty easy to generate a simple report of Roles vs Users. You'll need get a a little more creative to get those to show role details (function/table/field), but the data is all right there.
Here's a start...
SELECT r.rolename, r.description "Role Description", u.username, u.fullname, u.description "User Description", u.useremails
FROM YourRepositoryName_M000.A2i_CM_ROLES r, YourRepositoryName_M000.A2i_CM_USERS u, YourRepositoryName_M000.A2i_CM_USER_ROLES ur
WHERE r.roleid = ur.roleid
AND u.userid = ur.userid
ORDER BY 1, 2

Create new repository from schema

The option "Create new repository from schema" is not appearing in my MDM console.
How can I add this?
MDM 5.5

Hi,
I am on MDM 5.5 SP6 Patch 1 and the option is visble here.
May be on smaller version this option is not there.
well, on right click on your Repository level , Do u get option Export Repository Schema and Import Repository Schema.
if yes, you can achieve the same, firstly create a new repository and then use option Import Repostory schema, you will get the same result as "Create new repository from schema"
Hope it wil Help you,
Rewards if Useful....

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.

Creating Repository from using Archive file (.a2a)

Hello,
I Archived a repository from MDM 5.5 SP4 running on Oracle.
Can I create a repository using that Archived (.a2a) file in MDM 5.5 SP5 running on SQL Server ?

Can we create one repository from different data Source

Hi Experts
I have one doubt
1. Can we create one repository in OBIEE from different source like..
I have three Database(Oracle) and i want to create one single repository from different source.
2. If my Database are different like(Oracle,DB2,Teradata..)
Thanks in advance
Regards
Frnds

Hi..
Yes It's possible to create a repository from different datasources, provided there should be different DSN for each...
If it's ORACLE, we can import objects from OCI directly.. by mentioning the TNS Name, without creating DSN

RFC call - RfcClientException: functiontemplate from repository was null

Hi all,
We are attempting to retrieve data from the ABAP stack of XI via the RFC adapter. However the call to the RFC is returning the following error:

I have already come across SAP note 730870 but it didn't help.
Any suggestion?
Many thanks,

Hi all,
I have found the problem.
The mapping to the RFC request was not creating the correct namespace prefix in the root xml element.
I have downloaded the file rfcnormalizer.jar from SAP note 730870 and used it in my interface mapping. It solved the problem.

One schema for OWB Design repository, runtime repository and target schema

Currently we have contents of OWB Design schema, runtime schema and target schema all combined into one schema of the same database in OWB 9.0.2 as well as OWB3i. We like to move to OWB10g in very near future. Can we keep the same structure for convenience of migration in OWB10g? Is it mandatory that OWB design repository (and components) must be separate from OWB run time repository (and components) and target schema? In other words is it possible and workable to use only one schema to contain OWB design repository, OWB run time repository and target schema in OWB10g environment with repositories to be situated on Oracle v9.2.0.1.0? Also what special considerations should be taken to create the database v9.2.0.1.0 and installation of OWB10g. What are the problems/side-effects to have all in one schema?
Also please let me know how to install Oracle Workflow server to be used along with OWB. Will OWB10g work with repository on Oracle database v9.2.0.1.0?
Your prompt advice will be very well appreciated.
Sankar

The design repo is a metadata repo that stores all the design-time objects and so forth.
It is an architectural decision that you or your team need to decide on. There are many flexible ways to architect an OWB infrastructure.
Also, your repository users will be using the design repository on the the other DB instance to do their design work...potentially less people always hitting the target database all the time.

Cannot import from repository to Design Center

Why when I try to import an object from repository into the design center of Warehouse Builder, no objects are imported and when I save all this error message is shown:
API5072: Internal Error: Null message for exception. Please contact Oracle Support with the stack trace and details on how to reproduce it.
oracle.wh.util.Assert: API5072: Internal Error: Null message for exception. Please contact Oracle Support with the stack trace and details on how to reproduce it.

In this way, I can't import any object from repository and the only way to create a new object is to create it on Design Center and then deploy it. It's so boring creating table or views adding a field by hand...

The issue may be a bit more complex than just missing roles. If a target schema has been rebuilt (i.e. dropped and recreated) you will need to re-register it as a valid location with it's local runtime repository.
I have, on a couple of occassions, had problems re-registering a user through the GUI if that schema was not unregistered prior to being rebuilt. Make an OMBPLUS connection to the runtime environment on the instance where your target is located, and re-register it with:
OMB+> OMBCONNECT OWB_MGR/OWB_MGR_PWD@YOUR_HOST:YOUR_PORT:YOUR_SRVC USE REPOSITORY 'OWB_MGR_SCHEMA'
OMB+> OMBUNREGISTER USER 'TARGET_SCHEMA' IDENTIFIED BY 'TARGET_SCHEMA_PASSWORD'
OMB+> OMBREGISTER USER 'TARGET_SCHEMA' SET PROPERTIES (DESCRIPTION, ISTARGETSCHEMA, TARGETSCHEMAPWD) VALUES ('TARGET_SCHEMA', 'true', 'TARGET_SCHEMA_PASSWORD')
OMB+> OMBSAVE
OMB+> OMBDISCONNECT

Error migrating Master Repository from Dev. to Prd, Environment

Hi,
We are trying to migrate our development environment (dev_env) to production (prd_env), so for this we are doing the following:
- We create a Execution Work Repository (prd_env)
- We create a Master Repository (prd_env) with different internal ID (dev_env)
- We export one scene from dev_env and import to prd_env
- We export Master Repository from dev_env and import to prd_env, but in this point we have problem with the import wich say
"com.sunopsis.tools.core.exception.SnpsSimpleMessageException: ### KEY com.sunopsis.res.object / DwgDuplicationTools.GeneralImportObjectFailureMsg### a"...".run(Unknown Source)Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-02291: integrity constraint (....) violated - parent key not found"
Please, some one help us with this issue, thanks!!!

Hi,
Both your Prod and Dev are in same platforms?
Normally Dev we do on windows and production in Linux.
IF, your case is above. then create another schema in same platform(DB and OS ) and import the master and work repositories in Insert update mode from dev.
After import, re-export this newly created repositories and try importing into your production.
I have faced the similar issue and after following the above process, I am able to import my master and work properly.
If you are still not able to resolve this issue after following the above way.
Then try export you Logical and Physical Schema instead of master repository.
While importing , please import the Physical topology(Topology) and then the Logical Topology.
Thanks,
Nagarjuna

Is there a way to create a local package repository

Is there a way to create a local package repository without technically being a mirror. For example, setting up multiple AL box's on my network and having them grab all the latest packages from one AL box?
Thanks,
Craig

What you most likely want is an ABS tree of your own, containing only the PKGBUILDs of those packages which you want to be included in your repository.
You should already have heard of the gensync program. In short, the parameters are the root of PKGBUILDs, sorted in subdirectories (ie. like the ABS tree), the intented name and location of the repository database file, and the directory containing the binary packages.
Let's assume you downloaded the current ABS tree to your hard drive, as well as all matching (same version as in the PKGBUILDs!) packages from a mirror, but you don't want the reiserfsprogs package in your repository. To achieve that, you must remove the /var/abs/base/reiserfsprogs directory, and may optionally remove the binary package, too. Since gensync analyzes the ABS tree you supplied as a parameter, removing the subdirectory of a specific package will cause this very package to not be included in the generated database. Assuming your packages lie in /home/arch/i686/current, your gensync call would look like this:
gensync /var/abs /home/arch/i686/current/current.db.tar.gz /home/arch/i686/current
If there are any discrepancies like
- PKGBUILD, but no matching binary package found
- PKGBUILD and binary package versions do not match
- permission problems (writing the db file must be possible)
gensync will gladly complain.
Otherwise you should find the db file in the place you specified. Keep in mind that the name of the db.tar.gz file must be equal to the repository tag in the pacman.conf to use the repo.
To make sure the db contains the right packages; use
tar -tzf current.db.tar.gz | less
to list the contents. Every package has it's own subdirectory including the metadata, which is rather obvious considering the file's generated from such a structure in the first place.
The binary packages along with a correctly generated db file are all you need. Make the repository directory containing these files available through FTP if local availability doesn't cut it for you, edit your pacman.conf if needed, and use it!
Adding packages works similar; All you need to have is the PKGBUILD in an ABS-like tree (it doesn't have to be the official tree; gensync doesn't care where the files come from. Just stick to one subdirectory per PKGBUILD, and you'll be fine), and the matching packages somewhere else, run gensync with the appropriate directories, and cackle with glee.
HTH.

Receiver RFC error- RfcClientException: functiontemplate from repository wa

Hi All,
I am in an R/3(IDOC) - XI - 3rd party(File) scenario. Need to do a lookup to R/3 from XI before file is sent to 3rd party system.
For RFC, I followed various blogs( currently using Michaels blog https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/a03e7b02-eea4-2910-089f-8214c6d1b439 )
However I get the error in RWB:
"Error in processing caused by: com.sap.aii.af.rfc.afcommunication.RfcAFWException: error while processing message to remote system:com.sap.aii.af.rfc.core.client.RfcClientException: functiontemplate from repository was <null>"
Came across note : 730870 and it talks of metadata refresh. So I reimported the function module into IR, reactivated the comm channel but still the same error.
Do you guys have any idea why it could be happening.
To sum up,for RFC lookup I have created
1. RFC enabled FM in R/3
2. Comm Channel in ID
3. UDF (supplied the above comm channel and Buss syst name here and FM xml signature)
4. Used the UDF in existing Message mapping
( I have not created any separate Interface mappings for this...is it OK)
( My RFC function module will return a single field, but when I import RFC FM in IR, I do not see the return field, it has only the FM incoming fields...is that OK.....??? )
Any help/pouinters are welcome
Many thanks
Shirin

Hi Praveen,
Yes its an R/3 - XI - 3rd Party scenario.
To cut the story short, I am doing lookup to R/3 Due to some file sequencing requirements. This is the only option left as getting this data in the IDOC initially didnt help.
As you have pointed, can you help let me know how can I correct it in the UDF. (I am a javao novice, so appreciate if you could help me with it)
I have attached the UDF code below.
Many thanks
Shirin
