Hey Akhil,
In the MDM console right click on the SAP MDM SERVER and Mount the MDM Server by specifying either the IP address or the host name of the MDM Server.
After u mount the MDM server if it is in stopped mode then start it.
If u want to mount any repository right click on thatMDM server and say either create repository or unarchive repository.
If u want to unarchive any repository u must keep the A2A files which are provided along with SAP Business content on the MDM server SAP MDM -->> Server -->> Archives.
Then only u will be able to unarchive the repository and get the structure provided by SAP like for eg. Vendor,Employee,Article,Material etc...
Hope dis helps u

DBMS Settings

Hi,
I have installed Oracle and MDM . In MDM Console, after I mount the server, the field "DBMS Settings" is disabled.
Can anyone let me know why it is in disabled mode?

Hi Naga,
I hope you are checking for the DBMS settings at the server level by clicking on the server which is mounted.
If you are at the server level ,check to see on the right hand side whether you see the columns 'DBMS Server' and 'DBMS type' .If your oracle is properly installed you should see the DBMS server name and in type it should display as Oracle.
if these settings are ok then you should see the DBMS settings under MDM server in the menu bar.
Hope it helps
Thanks & Regards

Hi All,
When opening DBMS settings dialog in Console, in the property column, im not getting datapath,logpath and partitions under DBMS settings , also even if i right click and give expand branch, its not expanding(there is no + sign).
And when i try to create or unarchive a repository im getting an error "SQL Statement failed to execute".
In logs , the error reads as " tablespace A2I_A2I_XCAT_DBS does not exist".
Can anyone please suggest to resolve this.
Regards,
Nimal

Hello Nimal
If the same error you get when connected to another repositories from that DBMS server you should do next steps:
1. check you DBMS connection from standart DBMS application
2. update DBMS configuration in your console
if previous steps is OK.
1. unmount your repository
2. mount it to SAP MDM server
3. connect to repository
4. start repair process for it
5. load

Unable to Retrieve Database Settings in MDM 7.1 Console

Hi,
I have installed MDM7.1 on AIX and on DB2 successfully.

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.

Error in starting MDM Server from MDM Console

Hi,
I have installed SAP MDM 5.5 SP05 on Windows 2003 Server.
When i try to start the MDM Server (i.e. MDM Service) from the MDM console it gives me the following error:
<i>Error Starting apmdmd(MDM Server): The machine 'apmdmd' is not Windows-based. The MDM server cannot be started from this application; please use CLIX on the machine instead. </i>
But if i start the MDM Service manually and then mount the server, it works fine.
Kindly help.
Regards,
Chintan Sheth

It sounds to me like a problem potentially with either the permissions of the Windows user or perhaps a software firewall. The Console uses a low-level Windows API function to determine if the target machine on which MDS is installed is Windows-based. This function may be blocked by some OS or firewall-level setting. This may be the case even if you are able to use the same client machine to connect to the target machine via the Service Control Manager and start MDS from there.
I would like to help with this problem, but I need to know a few more things:
When the problem occurs, is the Console running on the same Windows machine as MDS?
You mentioned Windows 2003 Server... when you run the Console on this machine, are you logged in as an Administrator of the machine? And do you still get the error when you attempt to start MDS from within the Console?
Once MDS is started, and you mount it within the Console, are you having any other problems, such as logging in to a repository, or viewing logs?
Is there a firewall installed on the machine or machines that the software is installed on? We may have to review the settings of the firewall, or try temporarily disabling it (on both ends, or at least on the machine running MDS), to see if the problem goes away -- then we'll know the problem is with the firewall settings.
CLIX is a fine workaround if you can use it, but clearly this problem needs to be rectified.

How to change XML Schema in MDM Console?

Hi Experts,
My scenario: SRM send products to MDM Catalog using PI.
I need to change the XML Schema (XSD) for processing some new fields that don't exist in Catalog. So I created a copy of the XSD file in my station and made the necessary changes.
In XML Schema (MDM Console), I changed the FileName for getting the XSD I created.
But when I tested SRM Shopping Cart again, this couldn't access the products in Catalog anymore.
1) After my chage the FileName shows the name with "c:\Documents and Settings\...". Does it work?? Is this the cause of the error?
2) Do you know why my change affect the Shopping Cart access to the products in the Catalog?
3) Now I don't know how to undo my change in FileName. I can't do it because in the FileName MDM Console it doesn't allow to write it. It allows only to choose a file in some place, my station for example.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks!
Rose

Hi Kanstantsin,
I was analysing what you explain, but it was not exactly this problema. But what you wrote, help me to understand better the MDM and lets me know more about schemas .
Thank you very much for your help.
Hi Vinary,
It was exactly this. I had edited the name. I changed it and now it is working.
Thank you very much for your help!

MDM 71 - mdm console and clix - unable to connect to database server

Hi,
environment, MDM 7.1, AIX 6, Oracle 10.2.0.4 (installed as part of a standalone java AS)
i've an issue. I have installed MDM 71 via sapinst, before that I installed a standalone java application server. During the installation, i gave the 'oracle client', 'oracle home' and 'oracle sqlplus utility' to be those of the oracle database installed for the java AS.
After sapinst completed I tested my connection to the database via
tnsping <SID> = OK
sqlplus system/passwd@<SID> = OK
When i start up the mdm console (7.1.02.90) i can mount the MDM server, BUT when I try to configure the database settings i get
error 'unable to connect to database server'
I get the same error when i use clix dblist
Error: 0x84020004, Unable to connect with Database Server
Has anybody got any ideas.

To see why the MDM is not able to connect to database, do the following:
% cd /usr/sap/<SID>/MDSxx/log
% ls -ltr
You will find last updated log file with name like MDS_LogXXUX101224X164953.csv
% tail -100 MDS_LogXXUX101224X164953.csv
You will see the reason for not being able to connect. If the reason is:
",MDSAdminServerXGetAvailableReps,Oracle_DBConnection.cpp,205,,,,server_user,server_global,,,
2011-09-23T06:10:48.933,6       ,24,"Service 'SID', Schema 'system', ERROR CODE=12154 ||| ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
OCI Attach, try again ...
Then edit the /oracle/SID/112_64/network/admin/tnsnames.ora with entry like following:
SID.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
    (ADDRESS_LIST =
      (ADDRESS =
        (COMMUNITY = SAP.WORLD)
        (PROTOCOL = TCP)
        (HOST = hostname)
        (PORT = PORT_NO)
    (CONNECT_DATA =
      (SID = SID)
      (GLOBAL_NAME = SID.WORLD)
then issue:
tnsping SID
If result is like
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (COMMUNITY = SAP.WORLD) (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = hostname) (PORT = PORT_NO))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = SID) (GLOBAL_NAME = SID.WORLD)))
OK (0 msec)

XML schema in MDM Console

Hi! I have created a new XML and XSD for catalog item load. This is for batch processing of imports. I understand that I have to assign the format and XSD to the port relevant for this load. Before I can do that, I have to add the new XSD via Console > Admin > XML Schemas. The XSD is located on my C: Drive. After I have added the XSD schema, I noticed that the File Name colume is showing 'C:\product.xsd'. This is different from the other XSD that already existed in the system. For example, MDMSupplierListTransmission has filename MDMSupplierListTransmission without Namespace.xsd. My questions are:
1. I assume that the xsd MDMSupplierListTransmission is located on the server? If so, where can I find them?
2. For the XSD that I have added, is there a way for me to have it load onto the server (assuming 1 is correct)?
Appreciate your enlightenment on this.
Cheers!
SF

Hi SF,
If you have generated an XSD File from your system and then uploaded from the system to your MDM console.
It should work fine without nay problem.
Thats the standard way to do it,if you dont have an already existing XSD and have to create one..
Once the XSD file is loaded in console and its correct ,then your XML file must be allowed to import using it.
Hope It Helped
Thanks & Regards

Issue in Posting Messages from XI to MDM Console

Helloo Experts,
I am trying to Post the Message from XI to SAP MDM Console. When I am trying to post a test message it appears success in XI and it is not visible in SAP MDM.
But, the logs of MDM shows the Namespace and Interface were not registered.
Can any one tell me how I can register my Namespaces in the SAP MDM console?
From some of the previous topics I can understand that to register any interface I need to have the below details
Namespace :
Interface :
Bean :
Method :
I can provide the Namespace and Interface which I am using to post the messages to SAP MDM console.
Can any one tell me where do I can find the Bean and Method of the particular Inbound interface?
Cheers!
Ram

Hello,
I think I clearly didn't explain my problem.
My Scenario is to post the message from SAP XI to one more External SAP system using HTTP cc (RFC destination)
Unfortunately that External System has been built on SAP MDM.
As per XI it is picking the message from the Source and successfully sending to the Receiver.
But at Receiver side we donu2019t see any message. But we can see certain Logs stating that
Error in processing the Inbound Message Exception:-Unable to Process the Message with Message ID u201C*********u201D with u201CNameSpace#Inbound InterfaceNameu201D is not Registered.
I want to know how to register the namespace and the Interface name of XI system ( my own system ) in External SAP System.
Cheers!

Missing namespace for XI Settings for MDM Catalog 3.0

Hi All,
After having a SRM and PI server up and running, I am following the XI Settings for MDM Catalog 3.0 in the Note 1177780 https://websmp130.sap-ag.de/sap/support/notes/1177780
And I am now stuck at page 4 Interface Determination.
The problem is that I cannot find the namespace http://sap.com/xi/SRM-MDMCatalog
Thus, I cannot further proceed to interface mapping.
Any ideas?
PS: I found that if I
1/ do not follow the guide and use Business System as service, I can have F4 help on the namespace available in the Design Builder
2/ follow the guide and use Business Service as service, the inputs are just like text labels, and there is no F4 help on the namespace
So should I still follow the guide ? Or I will be better off using Business System as service ?
Yours,
Chun Fai

Dear Chun Fai.
Under the menu ~
SRM-MDM CATALOG 3.0 in integration repository software component SRM-MDM CATALOG, what namespaces are available?

MDM Console Connectivity to MDM Server

Hi,
My scenario is that I have install MDM Server on one machine with Oracle as Database. Now when I try to connect to connect to that MDM Server using MDM Console from other machine it is not connecting.
The machine on which Console is installed is already having Oracle Server installed for another aplication. I did create a Net Alias and I can connect to Oracle Database on MDM Server using SQL plus of the server on which cnsole is installed.
Someone say that I need to install oracle client on MDM Server side....is it so ?
Regards
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Assuming your MDM Server is on a Windows system:
Does a MDM Console on the very same machine connect to the MDM Server?
Kind regards,

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,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
In the Main Menu you have a lock sign,click on that and unlock the view.
This should solve the problem.

MDM console GUI on Windows is not mounting the MDM server on Solaris

Hello MDM experts,
This is kind of administrative problem. I am basis person, installing SAP MDM 5.5 SP04 for the first time.
I have configured the MDM server (mds) on solaris 10 system. I have also configured MDM import server(mdis) and Syndication serever (mdss) on the same machine. I have installed the database software and configured the empty repository on the same host machine.
So, Database and all the 3 MDM services (mds,mdis,mdss) are running on Solaris machine.
After that, I installed "MDM console fat client GUI" component on my desktop and trying to "mount the server" by specifying the "hostname" of the solaris machine where MDM services are running.
But I am not able to mount it...it says invalid server and does not mount.
Any idea what might be the problem ????
I referred following link :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdmgds55/helpdata/EN/8e/9f9c427055c66ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm
which says, you should have administrative right on Solaris machine where MDM server is running....but how do I have that being a Windows user ???
Please advise.

Hello Mark,
1. When I right click on the "SAP MDM servers" node in "Console Hierarchy" pane on the left hand side of the Console GUI, and select "Mount MDM Server..." option in context menu, I get a dialog box for entering my MDM server name.
I typed in the fully qualified host name of my solaris server where "mds-r" is running.
When I click "OK" button, it adds an entry in "Console Hierarchy" on left hand side, but the entry comes with "Yellow exclamation Mark" sign. Also it says Status "Invalid" when I see the "MDM servers" section on right hand side top.
When I right click on my newly created entry of MDM server, all the options on context menu like "Mount Repository, Create Repository, Connect to MDM server" look greyed out. Only the option of "Unmount MDM server" seems to be enabled
2. I tried to do the same thing on 2 different Windows machines and got the same output.
Regards,
Bharat
