When mount MDM server on MDM console...MDM Console hangs.

Hi,
when i try to mount MDM server on MDM console, MDM Console hangs and then i have to stop MDM console with task manager.
For this i have tried with restarting MDM server - then also issue was not resolved, then i have rebooted the server, then issue resolved.
But rebooting the server is not permanent solution, this problem occurs everything next 3-4 days.
Please let me know the cause and it's solution if anyone has faced the similar issue.
---------------Server details----------------
SAP MDM 7.1SPS11
OS - Suse Linux
DB - MaxDB
MDM Console is also SPS11
Thanks and Regards,
Murtaza Najmi

Hi Murtaza,
This may be due to the memory full issue. It is advisable to allocate appropriate memory in the RAM where server is running. Generally it will be done by the DB team or Linux/unix team. Raise this ticket to your concerned teams.

Error starting the MDM server in client system

Hi MDM Experts,
I am new to MDM and we have just installed MDM 5.5 on our system. We are able to 'Mount the Repository' via the MDM Console on the client side but when we try to 'Start MDM Server', we encounter the error below:
"Error starting MDM server: The machine (server name) is not Windows-based. The MDM server cannot be started from this application; please use CLIX on the machine instead."
What must we do to resolve this error? Please help us on this matter.
Thanks in advance!

Hi ASP,
MDM server operations can Be performed through Console only if your Server is Windows based.
You can perform the some repository options through Console ,but for any Server based operations like Mounting the server,Start/Stop server etc you will have to operate through the CLIX ie Command line interface.
I Guess yours is a Unix based system or something else which is not Windows based.
so it will not allow you,
Either you install your server on a windows based system to operate through Console.
Or if you want to continue with the NON windows based system then you will have to use CLIX for most of your Console opeartions.
Hope It Helped
Thanks & Regards

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.

Bharat

Unable to MERGE-Err Msg "MDM Server Failed to Merge the Selected Records"

Hi Friends,
I am using a Match Strategy in the Workflow. In the START Process of the workflow I CHECK OUT the records. In the step MATCH / MERGE when I try to MERGE similar records I get the Error Message "MDM Server Failed to Merge the Selected Records".
But the same step works fine when I dont CHECK OUT (CHECK OUT = NO) the records in the START STEP. But this would not be the right way to do it, as the incoming duplicate records would be visible in the Data Manager by other users even before it is merged.
Your inputs would be greatly appreciated to tackle this problem.
Thanks.

Hi Ravi,
The workflow steps are as follows: (I am on MDM 5.5 and SP 6)
Start (Check Out)   -
> Process -
> Validate -
> Match    (Manual Merge)   -
> Approve----
> Stop    (Check In)
                                                                                The Match and Merge step is a Manual step in the Workflow.
I Check out the records when i start the Workflow and Once the entire process is complete I check in the record. What is happening is that it does not allow me to Merge the records and I get the Error message.
If i dont Check out the Incoming records and run the workflow it Merges fine. But this would not be correct as the Incoming records(whihc could be duplicates) would be visible in the system until they are merged.
Your Input woould be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.

MDM Server Connection

Hi,
I am trying to configure the MDM 5.5 and unable to connect the server.
1. I've installed the software on windows
2.Started the MDM server service.
3.Mounted the MDM server by giving my machine name but I see the grey icon and could not do anything.
Please let me know what should I do?

Hi suren,
Please follow these steps:
1. Start the MDM server service by going to Control Panel--> Administrative Tools --> Services and then Select 'Start Service' for 'MDM Server'.
plz note that this service is available where MDM Server is installed and it should be running on that machine.
2. Now go to Console Right Click in 'Console Hierarchy Pane'. Select Mount MDM Server from Context Menu and specify the IP address or Host Name of MDM Server where it is installed.
plz note that it is IP address of MDM Server only and not where you are using your Console. It will be same only if Console and server are installed on same machine. 
3. For the Mounted MDM Server Go to Console Hierarchy Pane right click on it and Select Start Server.
Just try this out.
Plz revert if any queries.
Thanks and Regards,
Sagar Sonje.

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:
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. 
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.

Error Message in MDM Server Log

Hi Experts,
Can anybody tell me what could be the problems if we have the following scenario ?
For an example: Our MDM Server is based on 5.5 SP06, MDM Server name is DFM and our repository name is MDMQ110.
1) Checking the Reports from this Repository MDMQ110 from MDM Console, no errors and no warning. This repository can be loaded successfully and completed.
2) Server Log has an error in message:
Error: Service 'DFM', Schema 'MDMQ110_m000', ERROR CODE = 0,
SELECT LENGTH(Data) FROM A2i_Misc_Blobs WHERE Id=1000
Thanks very much for your help in advance
Regards,
WD

Hi Kanstantsin,
Thanks for your reply. I have done the stop and repair but It did not help any. By repair, there are no errors and warnings that have been fixed which I can see in the repository reports.
The Assertion Log has come up first with the messages like:
6426            2010/01/12 09:07:08.500               Error: Data_2 accelerator does not exist in A2i_CM_Accelerator_Status

4884 2010/01/12 09:43:30.335   Error: KeyWord_2_F4_Leng_USA accelerator does not exist in A2i_CM_Accelerator_Status
As soon as I run into MDM, the Server Log has come up the same messages:
It looks like not only happened to this repository. As I can see if I load any other repository, there are the same messages in Server Log but only the repository name in the message is different.

Error while connecting to MDM server from Webdynpro

Hi ,
   I am trying to connect to MDM server (5.5 SP04 no patches) through a webdynpro application . The following is the piece of code that I am using as a test .
CatalogData CatalogData = new CatalogData();
    int resultLogin = 0;
    try {
          resultLogin = CatalogData.Login("USNOC01AQ05",2005,"Admin","Erico1234","English [US]");
    }catch(Exception e){
          wdContext.currentContextElement().setValueattr("Not Connected");
         //System.out.println("Error while establishing connection");
    if (resultLogin != RC.RC_OK){
          wdContext.currentContextElement().setValueattr("Not Connected");
         //System.out.println("Error logging to the SDM server");
         //System.exit(-1);
     wdContext.currentContextElement().setValueattr("Connected");
    //System.out.println("MDM server connected");
The import statements are as follows
import a2i.common.CatalogData;
import a2i.generated.RC;
I have put the following jar files in the java build path
MDM4J
mdm-admin
mdm-common
mdm-core
mdm-data
mdm-protocol
When I deploy my application I get the following error
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: a2i/common/CatalogData
It can't be determined from the exception chain, which class loader failed to load the above class. But at least the class loader of the current application does not contain a resource with name 'a2i/common/CatalogData'.
What do you guys think is the problem ?
Regards
DeepaK Singh

Hi ,
   I found a document which says that MDM4J is the legacy API and is considered deprecated .The MDM Java API is the new one .I have both of them in the java build path . I am not sure if this is that cause of the problem .
Now I had a look at the javadoc for the new API but I am not able to locate the class to obtain a connection to the MDM server from a custom application being built in Netweaver Developer Studio . Can someone help me out with the same ?What would be the code to obtain the connection to the MDM server with the new JAVA API ?

MDM 5.5 SP03 - Error while connecting EP to MDM server

Hello colleagues,
I've deployed the following content of MDM 55 SP03 delivery to portal:
a. com.sap.mdm.tech.mdm4j.sda
b. com.sap.mdm.tech.connector.sda
c. BPMDMTECHN00_0.sca
d. BPMDMAPPLI00_0.sca
Then I created MDM system in Portal, arranged mapping but I couldn't
connect to MDM server using Connection test.
The MDM server is ip and running, port number in Portal is correct,
versions of deployed JAVA API and MDM connector fit to MDM server, user
mapping is correct too.
I actually have no idea what is the problem.
Are there any authorization requirements while connecting from EP to MDM Server?
Thanks and regards,
Konstantin.

Hi Nir,
Sorry for replying so late. I am following the steps given in the Business Package document.
1.I have created a system with system alias SAP_MDM_Repository_Customer(I want to connect to only customer repository) in a folder "Customer Repository".
2. I have created three groups MDM 5.5 SP3 Business Expert, MDM 5.5 SP3 MDM Admin, MDM 5.5 SP3 MD Expert
3. Then from the "Content provided by SAP" -> Specialist i am copying all the roles viz. Business Expert, Master Data Administrator, Master Data Expert. And then in the folder "Customer Repository" paste them as delta links.
4. Then in the user administration tab in the roles tab I am searching by group and adding the roles to these groups as below:
       Group                               Role
MDM 5.5 SP3 Business Expert      Business Expert
MDM 5.5 SP3 MDM Admin            Master Data Administrator
MDM 5.5 SP3 MD Expert            Master Data Expert
(Initially i have not adde eu_role but later i have added that also)
5. Then in the user mapping tab. I do the user mapping for the groups with the mdm repository users as below:
PortalUser           Group                 Repository
user
mdmuser    MDM 5.5 SP3 Business Expert     User/pwd
mdmadmin    MDM 5.5 SP3 MDM Admin           Admin/pwd
mdmexpert MDM 5.5 SP3 MD Expert           Expert/pwd
6. Then when i test the connection i get connection failed error.
7. When i add each roles in the "Everyone" group the connection test is successful but no data is displayed when i login with the portal user mdmuser no data is displayed.
Thats all. AFAIK i have covered every detail. Waiting for your reply.
Regards,
Jaydeep

Mount error when mounting Windows Server share

Trying to mount a share on a Windows Server I have in my home.
When I use:
smbclient -L SERVERNAME -U administrator
and I enter the password after the prompt
It returns a list of all the shares in the server like so:
Domain=[SERVERNAME] OS=[Windows Server 2003 3790 Service Pack 2] Server=[Windows Server 2003 5.2]
Sharename Type Comment
SHARE1 Disk Shared folder
SHARE2 Disk Shared folder
SHARE3 Disk Shared folder
Domain=[SERVERNAME] OS=[Windows Server 2003 3790 Service Pack 2] Server=[Windows Server 2003 5.2]
Server Comment
Workgroup Master
but when I try to mount of the shares with
# mount -t cifs //SERVERNAME/SHARE1 /mnt/mountpoint -o user=administrator,password=password
it returns an error
mount error: could not resolve address for SERVERNAME: Unknown error
Am I doing something wrong?
Thanks,

the SERVERNAME in these commands is a netbiosname and can differ from the hostname.
Smbclient seems to use it's own method to resolve netbiosnames, possibly the mount command uses a different method.
Try the mount command with the ip-address of the server instead of SERVERNAME to verify mounting the share works.
If the share can be mounted by //ip-address/SHARE1 , you may need additional options for the mount command to make netbios name resolution work correctly.
check man mount.cifs .
edit : typo's

Error connecting to MDM server

Hi all,
I am getting the check user mapping error while connecting to MDM server. The MDM Server and EP Server are on different systems. And when i try using the group "Everyone". The connection test was successfull but when i login with that user id/pwd no data is displayed.

Hi Simona,
I tired to import schema, but its not over written(user names & roles) by the merging it with the other Repsoitory schema.
I tried creating duplicate, but could not see the duplicate repository in the Console - server - repository, but could see the repository at the database level(Oracle DBMS).
Anyways SAP has adviced to Connect to Oracle DBMS directly and remove the trailing space in
USERNAME column of A2I_CM_USERS table for the user mentioned.
But, its not possible to reduce the length of the username field.
Could you please guide me, if u have any idea??
Cheers
