Can any body help me to create a meaningful repository in SAP MDM
Hi ,
I am new to this area . I have read the RKT material provided for MDM 5.5 SP4 and have the software installed with me . I know how to create repositories but what I am looking at is some help where someone can provide me with some repository structure and corresponding excel files so that I can exactly replicate the scenario in my server and learn to import the data . I am looking for a scenario which involves some hierarchies/taxonomies and lookup tables . The excel files for such a repository structure would certainly help .
Can someone help me out with this ?
Thanks
RavikumarRavi,
If you allow, this is what I would suggest -
1) First focus on the concepts. Understand how MDM goes beyond the traditional database concepts of master child relationship and uses concepts of Hierarchy Table, Taxonomy/Attributes tables, Qualified Lookups etc. RKT material exercises are good enough for quick ramp-up on these concepts. Once you have got the concepts, you will be able to easily create a XLS file yourself. Also the fun is not in importing an XLS file that has been created specifically for import into MDM. Any logical data structure in xls should be importable into MDM by using the functionality of MDM Import Manager
2) In the RKT material you should find an exercise called Case Study. I am emailing a Spreadsheet that created to use with this exercise. It is basically a Products Main Table, with Manufacturers coming from a Hierarchy Look table and Categories and Attributes table to store product classifications.
Let me know if this was helpful.

How to create repository in SAP XECM 10.5 Opentext
Hello,
I have installed SAP Extended ECM 10.5 Opentext with MSSQL database for SAP suite. As per the installation guide I have installed Archive and Content server. But I am facing problem to setup the repository in ECC server which connect to Opentext server.
In OAC0 transaction, what parameters value have to be given to setup up repository ??
As per guide I have created a logical archive as "A1" in client Administration, but I don't know how to use it in ECC system ?
I need to know what values have to be assign here to create A1 repository?
Also when I click in Protocol tab, no values are found. As per the installation guide two protocols must be shown here. I have properly run the setup but strange to see the no values in protocol tab.
Regards,
ArjunHi Deepak,
I have already applied Open text Add-Ons to ECC EHP7 system. You can confirm from the attached screenshot.

Vendor Master Fields to be considered for Centralization in SAP MDM
Hello Experts,
In my present assignment, we have 3 different ECC systems each for three different businesses. Now the objective is to consolidate, Harmonize and centralize the Vendor Master for all these standalone ECC systems in SAP MDM.
So multiple discussions are going on the which Vendor Master fields to be kept as Global fields and which ones as local in Central Vendor Repository in SAP MDM. The debate is whether should we keep "Vendor Account group" as Global field or as Local field in MDM.
The debate is each inidividual business unit has defined different account groups for the same vendor in their respective systems.
The question is : What is the best practice-- Should we keep Vendor account group as main table field and define Vendors with one unique account groups OR we maintain the account group in qualified table each pointing to different business unit.
Your inputs are highly appreciated

PTMHi Manoj
The debate is each inidividual business unit has defined different account groups for the same vendor in their respective systems.
The question is : What is the best practice-- Should we keep Vendor account group as main table field and define Vendors with one unique account groups OR we maintain the account group in qualified table each pointing to different business unit.
In my opinion this is going to be very complex solution. Ideally we need to define all the Harmonization rules before syndicating data to different target systems.
Is this possibel that the same vendor record which is existing as vendor of different account groups in different systems have same set of attributes. If yes then enabling the remote key for Account group Lookup field is one option and defining a unique Account group 'AG" (which is mapped to say AG1 from remote system1, AG2 from remote system2 and so on..)..
Managing this via Qualified table will be very complex and not advisabel. As Rajesh also mentioned Account Group in MDM should be considered as Global attribute and all such harmonization rules should be defined in your project. AG1=AG2=AG in above exmaple.
Hope this clarifies.

SAP MDM Console not allowing to add new fields or load repository
Hi all,
We are in SAP MDM 7.1 SP06. I do have access to create table, fields, ports etc., And I also have access to load and unload repository.
But when I login to SAP MDM Console and repository, options to load repository --> immediate and update indices are disabled. This is happening for Add/ Delete Table/Fields/Port etc.,
However, if I login to repository using MDM console in another laptop or system using the same userid, I am able to perform all the operations mentioned above.
Can you please help me with any suggestions to fix this. I do not want to reimage my laptop now inorder to fix this.
I tried to uninstall and install mdm console again but in vain.
Thanks,
RajeshHi Rajesh,
In the Main Menu you have a lock sign,click on that and unlock the view.
This should solve the problem.

Create Roles with acess control in SAP MDM
Hi Experts,
I am new to SAP MDM.I want to know how to create roles with access control for various users in SAP MDM.
Thanks,
Manojhi,
in the console; you can create roles with access control and you can assign these roles to users.
follow this path:
Console --> repository --> Admin node --> roles,
here you can create new role. for role here you can maintain
1. role detail
2. Functions --here you can restrict the particular role , none / Execute the functions.
3. Tables/fields -- here you can give access to the role Read only / Read and write, and you can apply constraints also.
and follow the links:

SAP MDM-GDS repository structure
Hi,
Does anybody have any input or knowledge of SAP's direction regarding repository structures for MDM and GDS now that they've begun integrating the functions into the MDM solution the offer?
At present, whilst the GDS Console is basically just accessing data in an MDM repository, it can't be your core MDM product data repository, but rather it has to be a separate one, set up specifically for GDS and nothing else, and thus it needs to be populated separately. I am wondering if this is a long term vision, or just a result of the way the package has been developed and that further integration will be forthcoming.
Any ideas?
SteveHello lis716
I'm not recomend working with SAP MDM database directly moreover modify some data at Database level because database structure is close information. (i had expiriens to mass upload users and their roles directly in MDM database, after that operation repository hasn't been started - repair returned a lot of errors and i was very happy when repository has been started)
You can lost important data because database structure may be modify in any time.
SAP MDM provide API for different development platforms as is .NET, ABAP, JAVA, COM.
My suggestion you should use API in your application for connect to data.
Additional information about API you can find here:

Help Required -- Can we use SQL Query to READ data from SAP MDM Tables
Hi All,
Please help.........
Can we use SQL Query to READ(No Creation/Updation/Deletion just Read) Data from SAP MDM tables directly, without using MDM Syndicator.
Or direct SQL access to SAP MDM tables is not possible. Only through MDM Syndicator can we export data.
Thanks in Advance
RegardsAll the tables you create in Repository comes under A2i_CM_Tables in Database named as your repository name. So the tables names are fields of table A2i_CM_Tables. Now i tried it but cant make it.
Now, I dont think its possible to extract all fields in tables and there values using select query. May be pure sql guy can do that or not.
But there is no relation of data extraction and syndicator. Data is viewed in Data Manager. and you can also store data in a file from DM also.

Trusted Connection Problem while creating a project in MDM WD Confg.Manager
Hi Experts,
We have the Netweaver instance (CE7.2) and MDM instance (MDM7.1SP07) installed in the same machine.
In our current scenario we are trying to create a projects in the MDM WD Configuration Manager for displaying the MDM records.
Things Done:-
1) Created allow.ip file and added the IP address of the server and also added the IP address of the Local Host (127.0.0.1).
2) Same user exists in the Netweaver and as well as in the MDM repository with same case.
3) Created a necessary MDM Destination.
4) After adding the entry in the allow.ip file, i have restarted the MDM server too.
Now when i create a project in the Config. Manager, after selecting the MDM destination i get a Trusted Connection error.
Cannot retrieve language list from repository [null] on server [null]. UserConnectionException: Can not connect with UserSessionContext to repository 'Inbox' on the server 'ctsinsapnw7'., Can not connect with UserSessionContext to repository 'Inbox' on the server 10.239.31.178'., Can not resolve JCA connection. Cause exception: Connection Failed: Cannot create JCA connection. Cause exception: Failed to create trusted connection to MDM server '10.239.31.178' for user 'mdmuser' because server is not defined as trusted, error code: ConnectionNotTrusted, com.sap.mdm.internal.protocol.manual.ServerException: The connection is not trusted
Is there anything to be done. Any help on resolving this will be very much appreciated.
Regards,
Prasanna Kumar R YPlease make sure of below things...
1. Location of allow.ip file.
Default location is exe folder where your MDM server executable are available.
2. If not using default location,
Then check the entry of 'TrustedFiles Dir" property in mds.ini file.
3. Is server stops completely?
Its very important to restart the server.
Sometime console may show that the server is stopped but server might be running.
If possible please check whether server stopped, using Console on different machines.
4. Check the log of MDM server while starting and stopping the MDM server.
Please pest the log messages in this thread to help you better. -
Brief discussion on SAP XI and its' Integration with SAP MDM.
Hi,
I have never worked on SAP XI.
I am discussing it on brief, please give your valuable replies.
SAP XI consists of System Landascape Directory(SLD).
SLD Consists of Business System and Techinical System.
Technical System contains all information about the software
component. The Business System consists of Inbound and Outbound Business
System which are used as logical names for data transfer.
There is communication Channel for Receiver and Sender Business System and n agreement
is signed between Sender and Receiver.
Outbound Interface defined for Business System Outbound and Techical System associated
with the Business System,
Inbound Interface defined for Business System Inbound and Techical System associated
with the Business System.
In SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Directory, we have defined the Integration Scenarios,
Actions, Interface Objects, Mapping Objects, Adapters Objects.
Mapping Object defines the Structure and Value Mapping.
Adapter Objects defines the Adapter program which implements RFC Adapter, FTP Adapter logic.
FTP Adapter is used for XI-MDM Communication.
RFC Adapter is used for XI-ECC Communication.
Integration Repository: Both Outbound and Inbound Interfaces are Mapped with Value mapping and
Structure Mapping inside Integration Repository.
The File Adapter takes the File from the Outbound port of MDM System
and sends it as IDOC to Receiver Business System.
Value Mapping must be done between Sender and Receiver interfaces.
Value Mapping is done by XSLT or Java based program.
SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Server at runtime:
Message Split, Interface Determination, Receiver Identifaction, Mapping, Techincal Routing
and Call Adapter Proccess are done.
In SAP XI 3.0 and MDM 5.5:
Step 1: Create busines system as service.
Step 2: Create communication channel for each business service. If the system can communicate
through different channels, then create all possible channel types if necessary.
Step 3: Create receiver agreement between the systems.
Step 4: Interface determination:
- Here you see for the first time the software component mentioned;
there are some special requirements regarding this software component in relation to the customizing ID mapping.
- To modify this software component, the customer needs to copy the SAP standard delivered software component
into its own namespace. The customer is able to modify to create archives
for the customized ID mapping.
Receiver determination.
Configure an FTP Server on the MDS.
Create a send folder for outbound messages using outbound port(s) for
remote systems(s).
Create receive folder inbound messages using inbound port(s) for remote systems.
This ia all about concept of SAP XI Infractsture and its' Integration with SAP MDM 5.5.

Kaushik BanerjeeHi Kaushik,
You must be aware of File types that MDM Import Manager can Import i.e. we have XML, Excel etc. Now there are two transactions to extract data from R3
1. MDMGX -
- For lookup table extraction
- Output in XML format which MDM can import without using XI.
- FTP can be configured to put the file in the desired folder which will be then picked by Import Server.
2. MDM_CLNT_EXTR -
- For Main table records.
- Output is in Idoc format which MDM doesn't understand hence we need XI in between which converts Idoc file received from R3 into XML which can then be imported using Import Manager or Import Server. For this we need to implement XI Scenario that consists of Source System, Receiver System, Type of Data etc.
Just a basic understanding...

SAP MDM Port Creation not Possible
Hi,
I am not able to create MDM Inbound Port for my Repository.
The problem is I am not getting the XML Format is coming as Deactivated.
Regards
Kaushik BanerjeeHi Kaushik ,
To import a XML source file in to MDM from a Remote sytem using the port:
- Create an XML schema which will define the structure of the incoming XML file .and upload this xml schema under the XML schema table in mdm console under teh Admin node
- After this create the port in MDM with type as inbound.
- Select the the XML Format for importing in the format property and the XML schema which you have uploaded in console.
- Make the processing type as Manual if you are going for manual importing or else change it to automatic and configure the MDIs.ini file accordingly.
Refer the use of XML schema table in Console in the below link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm550/helpdata/en/8e/9f9c427055c66ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm
If you are importing a standard XML file from the ERP system you will have to acc use the std XML like Matmas05 for a Material record frm R/3 or ECC else if you are importing a test data which corresponds to the MDM repository structure you can generate the XSD using Xomlite software and the exported schema from MDM rep(rep->rt clik->export schema)
Hope It Helped,
Thanks & Regards
