No receiver could be determined while doing SAP ECC Integraion with MDM 7

Dear All,
Can you please help me to resolve the following issue.
We are doing SAP ECC Integration with MDM 7.1 by using MDM PI Adapter.
Source side we are processing MATMAS.MATMAS05 IDoc and Receiver side we are using MDM PI Adapter to Connect the MDM System.
I have checked the Configuration by using Test Configuration Wizard, it showing every thing fine there.
Is it because of any network connection issue at the Target system (MDM) side?
Plz check the error message for your reference;

Hi,
From error looks like it is not failing at receiver determination step. if you all configurations are fine, then this could be because of system cache refresh.
Go to Edit mode in your scenario and again save it and activate it. Do a cache refresh and check if it works.

Hi all
i have the requirement with webdynpro MDM JAVA API which interacting with MDM system.
i have one repositoty in the MDM console i.e DEMO_CUSTOMER
i have one table in that repository called CUSTOMER_ADDRESS .
i want to access the customer address details information from the MDM table into Webdynpro application.
can you please send the sample code to the following operations with MDM table which retrieves the information in the webdynpro application.
1) displying the table data
2) inserting the record from the table
2) deleting the record from the table
3) updating the record from the table.
it is very helpful to me if anybody would have to send the sample code to me to the above operations.

If you are using the MDM Java Connector from Web Dynpro application, you have to set the properites accordingly.
Go to properties of Project and there choose "Webdynpro reference". Here, choose library reference and there give your library reference.

XI connectivity with MDM

Hi All,
I have a project to integrate XI with MDM. Could anyone tell me the connectivity between XI and MDM, the system landscape details need to be maintained in both systems.
And how beneficial the standard package of MDM 5.5 which comes along with XI.
Thanks a lot for any help. Please send any docs related to these to [email protected]
Deno

Deno,
You can configure the MDM inbound and outbound folder in the OS level fo the MDM server and this place will be used by XI to put the files. MDM needs XML files and XI file adapter can supply the same. Apart from the maintenance of MDM as the third party system you need to identify the idoc types to be used and also the configuration to link XI to R/3 system so that you can get the outbound idocs in XI and also post the ones that comes from MDM.
MDM is capable of clubbing multiple data into single XML file. Hence if you need the inbound idocs as individual ones then you need to handle the same in mapping...else will post it as a mass idoc depending on the cardinality of the idoc type.
Cheers
JK

Using ABAP Web dynpro for connecting EP with MDM

Hi All,
We have an architecture landscape in which EP User interface (iviews) need to integrate with MDM import manager. Is it possible to achieve this using Web dynpro? If any company has implemented this kind of scenario before, please gave us the tips.
Thanks,
Anand

Hi Anand,
You can use MDM Java API in WD. ABAP API for MDM is is currently in process.
Just wondering what kind of business scenario do you have which allows portal users to use import manager`s functionality.
Best regards, Maksim Rashchynski.

Deleting DataLocationGroups (with MDM Data Manager or MDM Java API)

I´ve a lot of DataLocationGroups which are results of tests (importing pictures into the images tables but not stored as BLOB). I can´t see that the underlying table is exposed within MDM Data Manager. So i tried to delete the useless nodes with the DeleteGroup command.
However this seems not to be supported by the API
com.sap.mdm.commands.CommandException: Deleting of data location groups is currently unsupported
at com.sap.mdm.group.commands.DeleteGroupCommand.execute(DeleteGroupCommand.java:91)
I´m using the new Java API with MDM 5.5SP6.
No chance to remove the nodes?

Thanks for your answer. I would possibly open a service call to check if there is a hotfix available. Maybe you have some idea how i can check if the a Location is already existent? From experiments when importing with the MDM Data manager, it seems that a path is represented by a tree of HierLocationGroupNodes.
For example: I´ve imported from
cde271480MMPPpictures.jpg using the Data Manager. When using the RetrieveGroupTree Command, i can see that there are two nodes named cde271480 (Id: GN39) with child node named MMPP (Id: GN89).
Maybe i now want to use the API to import a picture from
cde271480 estlocation into the images table. To get a locationID usable for the setDataLocationId i had to compare the pathname of the picture with elements of the GroupTree from the root. If one element of the path is not existent in the tree, i have to create this new element and connect it to the parent. And i can then use the ID of the Leaf node for the DataLocationId. Is this correct?

Career ABAP with MDM

Hi Guy's
I had seen many posts saying that career in MDM will be booming. But on contractary I had seen jon saying that it is good to have skill and that too with BI ( http://www.jonerp.com/component/option,com_jd-wp/Itemid,20/p,40/ ). After reading this I am in big confusion wheather to take up MDM course as ABAPER or not.
Please let me know you help views on how would be the career in MDM with ABAP would be?
Thanks

Hi,
As a whole if you talk about MDM system it basically dependent upon,
1. Cosolidation 2. Harmonization 3. Centralized scenarios
so when you consolidate data in MDM, it comes from outside systems like SAP R3/ERP/CRM, any Legacy system or any 3rd party system. and in harmonization you send back after doing some manipulation on that data. similarly centalization means doing every thing in MDM. Thats baiscs.
Let me tell now, you are an abaper and you know all the tables which are related to Customer, vendor, Material, sales, bank, Purchase, shipping, etc...
and mdm when takes data from R3/SAP from my point of view if you have knowledge of that system. Its good to have.
MDM also deals with ABAP APIS so its also good for an abaper.
For starting MDM see this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm550/helpdata/en/43/D7AED5058201B4E10000000A11466F/frameset.htm and you can search this forum you will find a lot of things for MDM and ABAP with MDM etc...
Rewards if useful.

SRM5.0 with MDM Catalog

Hi,
I would like to know following questions :-
1, Do I need to replicate/bring master data (vendor, product category, material) from ECC6.0 to MDM Catalog if I need to implement MDM Catalog? Already SRM is having master data (replicated from ECC6.0).
2. I believe in CCM2.0 I don't have to replicate master data and just need to upload catalog. CCM was able to use SRM server master data,
3. My client is usuing MDM extensively and when we go for MDM Catalog, will it be totally seperate system from MDM SAP they are usuing?
Thnaks,
Rajan

Hello Michelle,
When you download the business content of SRM-MDM then you will find the MDM installables also.
This does not mean that you have to install the seperate instance of MDM Server.
It is not necessary that you have to use the seperate instance of MDM Server for the MDM Catalog Scenario.
But If you can use the seperate instance of MDM Server for SRM-MDM Catalog then you can, it will be good.
Just match the version of MDM installables which is in the Business content of SRM-MDM Catalog with the version of MDM Server which you are using. this is because of the business content contains some scar files to be deployed on WAS which is dependent on the MDM Server version. So check If both are same than you can use the same MDM Server for SRM-MDM Catalog Scenario.
For the verion mapping of SRM-MDM Catalog with MDM 5.5, you can refer the following SAP Notes:
Version mapping SRM-MDM Catalog 1.0 to SAP MDM 5.5--> 1082069
Version mapping SRM-MDM Catalog 2.0 to SAP MDM 5.5--> 1083126
I hope this will clear your doubt.

Issues with MDM installation - Windows + MaxDB 7.7

I list here some observations resulting from the installation of MDM on Windows with MaxDB
You can find the documentation here:
http://service.sap.com/installMDM
Important is the Installation Guide.
1) only two files are needed:
MDM: 51032724.zip (more then 1GB)
MaxDB: http://service.sap.com/swdc
Support Packages and Patches, Additional Components, MaxDB, MAXDB 64-BIT, MAXDB 7.7 64-BIT -> MAXDB7702_16-10004357.SAR
2)
the installer propose sometime the path sdb and sometimes sapdb
I always used M:\sapdb\....
install the maxdb as explained in the inst. guide of mdm
http://service.sap.com/installMDM
( first client , then client+server)
mdm installation is straightforward
(3x server + some clients)
3) Install OSS 684106 (paragraph 3.2.1 in the installation guide)
4) restart the system after installing
5) start the console and use only the DB-User SAPMDMDB with password SAP
6) After creating a repository, log in using the user Admin and no PW
7) capital letter are in general important

Hi Manish,
       Here are other some problems you may face...
      1) 7.1 does not support some of the database charset which was supported in 5.5, which may lead to re-installation of database...
      2) Multiple workflows on single record was supported in 5.5 but its no longer possible with 7.1, which may lead to redesign of existing scenarious...
      3) A strict ristriction is added in Import manager xml maps, which requires single root element in xml. There is autimatic transformation step for doing this, but dont know how much it works accuretly...
      4) Tuple is added as new structure, but is has more restriction than the qualified lookup, validation are applicable for qualified lookup but you cannot write validation and assignment on multivalued tuple...
      5) PI Adapter is marketed as "it can directly intereact with MDM", but as such there is no advantage because only ftp will get replaced with java api calls, and PI/XI cannot directly read-from or write-to MDM. all the file transfer via import and syndicator remain same continuing "BLACK BOX Communication" bettween MDM and PI/XI.

Portal with MDM

Hi
i am going to work on the project which have the components like EP and MDM. it is going to start soon.
so far i have not worked in this combination.
can u tell me what are the requirments will come between EP and MDM ?
how are the interactions will be happend between EP and MDM
can u tell me more about that MDM and portal combinations???
i am not aware of MDM but knows abt portal
it is very helpful to me if any body gives good suggestions.
Regards
Sunil

Hi Sunil,
Portal with MDM is a very hot area now as everything is moving to ESOA .
Before starting with the integration you need to do some prior installation setup on EP side
- Business packages which will contain MDM connector,Java API's etc needed to set up the connection between these two systems.
You can work on different scenarios using the EP MDM combination.
1)Basic Scenario: Accessing MDM repositories from Portal.
You can use std iviews provided and connect o MDM system by doing the basic req config on EP side like creating sytem aliases,system objects etc and access the MDM rep from EP .You can view the Master data ,create it,edit it,delete it etc all the MDM activities can then be carried out from EP side.
2) UWL:Running MDM workflow through Guided procedures.
You can create MDM Workflow and run these from Ep side through Guided procedures.This will give single point of acces to Master data.
The workflow jobs will be displayed in the UWl and by doing User Mapping workflow jobs can be handled by different user Roles.Control is passed from Ep workflow to MDM workflow through Java Api's
Hope this helps
Thanks & Regards

Do I Need XI with MDM ?

Hello.
I want to use MDM to distribute master data.
I've seen several documents and had a question.
What case or What situation do I need XI(PI) to distribute mastar data to some systems with MDM.
I konw that MDM Syndicator has some functions.
What are the differences between what Syndicator can do and what XI(PI) can do.
Please let me know.
Regards,
Koji.

Hi Koji,
The Syndicator is used to export a file (flat, xml) and XI is used to pick that file and it provides this file to the required system.
Using Syndicator results to a manual process but by making use of Syndication Server you can automate the process.
XI is used to pick a file from outbound port (Ready Folder).
For Outbound port: A file is created automatically in Ready folder according to the properties you specify in the syndicator while mapping.
You have to specify a syndication map in console for your outbound port .
Note:Syndication server should be running.
Thanks and Regards,
Sagar Sonje

Any Chance of Integrating MI with MDM/ XI/ BI

Hi All,
I would love to know any information on integrating MI with MDM/BI/XI or vice versa.
According to me using XI in MI is a restriction.
Any updates from SAP regarding the same (May be in Newyork release).
Thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Karthick

Hello Mainak,
Here are the benefits which I got from below link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/b2/e50138fede083de10000009b38f8cf/frameset.htm
The integration of SAP XI and SAP BW offers the following advantages:
·        Central maintenance of message flow between logical systems of your system landscape.
·        Options for transformation of message content between sender and recipient
Mappings help you to adapt values and structures of your message to the recipient. In this way, you can transfer different types of files to a SAP BW system using interface mapping. However, in any case, it is necessary to transform the data into a format that corresponds to the interface of the function module that is generated in SAP BW and used for data transfer. The function module contains a table parameter with a flat structure. This means that the data have to be transformed so that they fit to a flat structure in SAP BW.
·        Using proxy communication with SAP BW
Proxies are executable interfaces generated in the application systems for communication with the SAP XI Integration Server. We recommend the use of proxies for communication with SAP BW because they guarantee Full Quality of Service (Exactly Once in Order). They also guarantee that the data is delivered only once and in the correct sequence. The SAP XI Integration Server keeps the serialization as it was established by the sender.
cheers,
Vishvesh
