Unable to connect with Database server in MDM

Hi Experts,
I have installed the MDM server 7.1 on windows 64 bit box, but installed MDM console (32 bit).
Getting the issue like below
Can anybody please help me out to fix the issue.
Thanks in advance,
Bhaskar N

dear
Did you install Oracle client on MDM server. If not please install it and revert with the result..
Please check SAP Note 1350635 - "Problem connecting to database from MDM console" & Note 1363797 -" Oracle connection problem".. Kindly also check the log in MDM console and revert with the result.
Also, Please check Configurations Settings as mention in [MDM installation Document|https://websmp209.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001668492008E] from Page no 42 to 45.
do the following
You need to create tnsnames.ora file even on the host where MDM is installed and define Oracle database host and instance there. Then, MDM user needs to have access to oracle client libraries and needs to have access to this tnsnames.ora file as well. Once you set this up, it will work fine.

Database tables in MDM

Hi SDNers,
I would like to know about this table A2I_XCAT_DBS in MDM database. I know in this table we will find repository schema user ids and repository entires. Any documenration for these database table.
please advise on this??
Thanks Kiran

Hi Kiran,
More than documentation ,suggest you use SQL Enterprise manager (incase of SQL server) or any database tool.You can have a look at all the tables and fields practically once.
Connect to database SQLserver > Navigate to Databases folder > Select the repositoryname_m000 > select Tables from hierarchy pane > Tables pane on right hand side will display all the tables related to repository.
You can as well run simple queries for tables and view the records.
This exercise will surely provide a good insight on DB tables related to MDM.
Please give a try .
sorry, I dont have any doc on this.

Unable to Retrieve Database Settings in MDM 7.1 Console

Hi,
I have installed MDM7.1 on AIX and on DB2 successfully.
Installed MDM Console 7.1 on my desktop and as part of Post steps I am able to mount the DB but while I am setting Database settings getting the error "unable to Retrieve Database settings" in MDM7.1.
Can any one please suggest on the same
Regards,
Srinivas

Hi Saini,
Thank you for your reply, I have gone through that thread. I have done all the settings required for MDM and DB2.
Only thing I havn't done is DB2 Client was not installed. Because our DB2 expert is saying that he has installed full DB2 installation and since DB2 and MDM are on the same box,
client software is not necessery. Is this correct..please advice.

Srinivas

MDM adapter : what is meant by the database server ?

Hi all,
we are testing MDM adapter on PI 7.1 (no eHp). The adapter config requires an MDM server but separately a database server entry as well.
Does anybody have a working MDM adapter ? if so, what did you fill in in the "database server"
parameter of the adapter ? is it a URL ? JDBC name ? JNDI name ? IP address ? and to which database ? Í'm assuming the database of the MDM server, but that one is installed on the MDM server
(for which we configured an IP address in the "mdm server" field).
additionally, can somebody explain the reason for that separate Database config parameter ?
I have found no explanations in the documentation so far.

How to create the oracle database for MDM

Hello Friends,
I am new to MDM technology. I have been asked to install MDM 5.5 on windows with oracle database.
i have gone through the installation guides and master guide of MDM. But in the installation the procedure is not given to create the data base after oracle installation. i want to know do i need to create the database manually if yes then what should be the DBSID of the database and schema name etc.
Please help.
Thanks,
Manoj

Well, let's rock.
Oracle database creation
Use Oracle Database Configuration Assistant (Start -> Programs -> ...) to create a new database.
The database naming (on Step 3) is up to you. I used MDM as for SID and MDM.<MYHOSTNAME>.<MYDOMAIN> as for the db name.
Be sure you select UTF8 for the character set (on Step 12) - this requirement is mentioned in the SAP MDM Installation Guide.
All other settings can go default.
Listener and TNS name configuration
The next step is to configure a listener and tns name for your database.
Run the Oracle Net Configuration Assistance and select the "Listener configuration". Default settings on the wizard pages should suite your configuration.
Click Finish.
Run the Oracle Net Configuration Assistance again and select the "Local Service Name configuration". Add one. Choose the name of the database for the service name. It was MDM.<MYHOSTNAME>.<MYDOMAIN> for me.
Ensure that you use name of the database that you've entered during the database creation.
Everything else should go as suggested by default.
Once you are at the Test stage of the wizard and get the "invalid login/password" message, clisk "Change login" and use SYSTEM user and the password you\ve entered during databae creation.
After the test passes, you can connect to your Oracle database through the MDM Console.
Please, let me know if you have any questions, I'll help.
Thanks!

Database error - MDM server installation

Hi,
I installed SQL Server and then MDM server. Now SQL server is up, server sign on console is green, when I try to unarchive repository archive, I got database error: error to initialize database. (I uses "sa" to connect )
What is needed to configure MDM to talk with SQL Server?
Thanks a lot in advance!
David

Hi Subbu,
When i tried to set DBMS settings or unarchive repository, it prompt me <server name>[Sql Server] Initialization. Two entries are needed there:
Data file path:
Transactional log file path:
I set them as following:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data
C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data
then get error:
"Unable to set current database with database server";
"The MDM repository list schema has not been created"
I also tried to input as "C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\mdmsp3_Data.mdf" and C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\mdmsp3_log.ldf"
still get the same error.
Please put some light on this!
Thanks!

SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 - Installation Process

Hi All,
I'm in the process of installing SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 but I'm not sure about the correct installation process.
The SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 installation guide indicates that the following instances are mandatory for SRM-MDM Catalog system:
1- Java system with the central instance, the central services instance, the database instance
2- MDM Server, and MDM Import Server
We have covered the first point by installing an SRM 7.0 JAVA system. Regarding the second requirement, I have some doubts in the way it should be completed. What we did so far was to install the SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 from the MDM 7.1 installation master. So, we now have two MDM server instances: MDS and MDIS.
I'm stuck now. I'm not sure on how to connect my SR-MDM system to the JAVA DB (created in step 1) to create a new MDM schema within it. This makes me wonder if I've followed the correct process. Could you please clarify and explain which steps should be performed to get my SRM-MDM system up and running? Actually my main concern is..Should I first install a MDM system as it's described in MDM IG, and after that perform the installation of the SRM-MDM catalog as I've already done in step 2?
Hope being clear enough I'll wait for your suggestions.
Thanks and regards

Hi Diego.
The Installation Note Number for SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 is : 1177779. The recommended steps would be to follow how the Installation Guide recommends you to do so.
But still your assumption is correct. MDM landscapes and Java landscapes are both different set of categories to be installed to make the Catalog scenario to be successfull.
Step 1: Make sure you have the back end database server(SQL/Oracle/???) is installed.
Step 2: Make sure all the MDM components(MDS, MDIS, etc) is installed.
Step 3: Make sure Java WebAS is installed correctly.
Step 4: Now deploy the Catalog SCA and MDM Connector deployed in the Java WebAS.
Step 5: You can unarchive and load the repository.
Step 6: Try to launch the catalog using the URL provided to check and make sure if the connection is fine.
Also what Masa has mentioned is the communication path how the whole process is achieved technically and that doesn't mean that it has to be in the same order which he has mentioned. The below sequence is just an path to describe how the communication is achieved technically.
User -> Browser(Search UI deployed on AS Java) -> (Java API on AS Java) -> MDM Server -> MDM Repository -> DB
Relating Masa's path with the above steps
User ->
Browser(Search UI deployed on AS Java) -> Step 3 and 4
(Java API on AS Java) -> Step 3 and 4
MDM Server -> Step 2
MDM Repository -> Step5
DB-> Step 1
Hope this helps.
Regards
Bala

MDM - Import Manager

In the import Manager, I am unable to connect to any source database - Oracle, SQL Server. It gives me error message that the database is unavailable. But I can ping the databases and connect to them externally. I tried creating creating connections and ports in MDM console. I do not find any place where I can give details of database etc.

Hi Jay,
Please refer to the following link:
Import using Oracle
Also, make sure that Oracle client is installed on the server for MDM.
If you connect to source that is Oracle, then you must install Oracle client on the machine that is running the IM, for this source "file" - IM is connecting directly to that Oracle database (not thru MDM server).
I hope this helps,
Silpa

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".

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

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

MDM Console

Greetings,
Can someone answer this question.
I have MDM 7.1 SP05 (MDS, MDSS, MDI) running on a SUSE 10 server. I also have Oracle 10.2.0.4 running on the same box.
On my windows laptop (Win XP sp3), I have installed the MDM Console 7.1.05.88) and I am able to mount the server which MDM is running. I can also go to the http port for MDM and start the admin console / snap in tool to see the MDM instances running.
However, when on my laptop, I can not create a repository / connect to the database. I have not been able to - ever. Though I did not find any information in the MDM install guide or the MDM Console guide, SAP says that I need to install the Oracle client on my laptop.
I have completed this; I am able to connect to the database on the MDM server (via sqlplus from windows). I have tried to use the system/manager userID to try to create the repository in the console.

Hi Guys -
I'm looking at something similar ...
@Aamir Suhail u2013
Iu2019m looking at the download location :
Support Packages and Patches - Entry by Application Group " -> SAP NetWeaver and complementary products " -> SAP MDM " -> SAP NETWEAVER MDM 7.1 " -> Entry by Component " -> Administration Clients
Administration Clients
MDM CLIX 7.1
     >> Win32
     >>Windows Server on x64 64bit
MDM CONSOLE 7.1
     >> Win32
The console only comes in Win 32 u2026
@ Shiv Prashant
The errors that I am seeing after I mount the MDM server and try to create a repository is:
[excerpt]
ERROR CODE=-1 ||| Failed to intitialize Oracle shared library.
Last CMD: OCIErrorGet: pfnOCIErrorGet==NULL
OCI Init returned 0x84020028
Oracle Initialization Failed -- likely missing libraries/dlls
[/excerpt]
Iu2019m not clear on the last statement u2013 WHICH Oracle libraries? On the MDM Server that is housing the Oracle database?
On the laptop which is trying to connect to MDM (which I am leaning towards).
As a note: I did follow SAP note 1250319 and used InfoMds scripts for validation. As far as I can tell, the params and checks passed. I ran the script as MDM OS user ID and the Oracle OS user ID with the u201C u2013ou201D option for the database connections.
@ jignesh patel
As a note, I am using u2018system/masteru2019 and an MDM user I created in Oracle. With both users, I can access the database from the different laptops or on the server itself via the sqlplus command. According to the Install Guide for the MDM Server and the Console Guide, it starts by saying that you need to use SYSTEM or some similar user to begin.
Not sure what you mean on point 5 (also check Path). What path are you referring to?
@ Rajesh Chavan
Port 21 is turned off and Iu2019m not sure why you would need that; I AM able to telnet to the MDM server ports and get a connection.
Few things:
        If SAP is saying that you need to install Oracle client on my laptop, is this something that any of you were told to do?
        What libraries would I need (or, the MDM server running the database) that are not being recognized when connecting?
        Is there a way to test using CLIX (Win 32)?
Thanks!

Unable to modify database

hi,
i'm unable to perform the following operations:
unarchive a repository
create a new repository
create a new repository from schema
duplicate repository
i'm getting the error "unable to modify database".
I have tried restarting the MDM server but the problem persists.
This problem has never occured before. Has someone faced this issue before? if yes then could you kindly provide the cause and resolution?
I'm on SP05 patch2 HF1 (build 5.5.42.57). MDM is running on Oracle.
Thanks in advance

Hi Swana,
<Unable to Modify Datbase>
This error occurs due to a problem with the database on which MDM server is seated.
You can try one of these options to correct this problem:
- Check the oracle data base Listener configuration
- Stop and start the oracle service from the system on which it is installed.
Start->Program->oracle->
- After doing this stop and start the MDM service.
- Then try performing the above activities.
It should work.I had faced the similar error.
Hope it helps
