Hide Field with no Data at the SRM MDM Catalog

Dear Experts,
I am uploading many files with items and connect them to a unique search name.
Aot of all, Jest few supplier items are contain a certain field.
How can I set the system to hide the field at the Catalog, if it displays supplier items that has no data at this field?
Thanks,
Yaron.

Dear Masa,
Thank you for your response.
We are using SRM MDM 3.0 SP05 Patch 2 with SRM server 550 SP12.
I am talking about the screen that the user see when he connects to the Catalog to add items to the Shopping cart/PO/Contract.
I can add/remove fields at the UI seting, but i can't find where I can set the option to hide the field if there are no data in it (at the all supplier catalog). this is how it works at the CCM Catalog....
Thanks & Regards,
Yaron.

Hello Priti,
For accessing the catalog, you have to define the external webservice with the config parameters in SRM System under transaction "SPRO"
Please refer the SRM-MDM Catalog configuration guide.
Hope this will help you.

SRM MDM Catalog Multiple Imgae (field) display in UI

Hi MDMers,
I have configured the SRM-MDM Catalog and I had done Import data, mapping data, OCI, SRM call structure and UI settings. Everything works fine when we call the Catalog in SRM.
My SRM -MDM Catalog needs certain custom fields which should hold some Button indicator for item classification (Red, Amber, and Green)
Already we used MDMSRM_IMAGE field to have pictures of Item and mapped in Display view in UI manager.
I tried one more custom field for the Image to hold this buttons (.gif file) but unfortunately it is not bringing the indictor images, just place holder is exist without indicator image.
Could you please help me and give some work around solution to bring that Button Indicator in My Catalog view for each item.
Please light up something on TEXT HTML, TEXT BLOCK, HYPERLINK and mime type
Is it possible to have the .gif Image by using above functionality? If so please guide mates.
Regards
Edwin

Hi Tam,
I have tried to set up hyperlink for my images in SRM-MDM catalog.But no luck.
1. My MIME Type is GIF.
2. My url is
http://fssomsdits01.forensic.gov.uk/eMerge/images
The URL path contains my Images file like GREEN.GIF and RED.GIF
Where I have to display the 2 images according to the catalog Item.
As per forum discussion I tried the steps.
I declared the MIME Type & Hyperlink type (rendered) in Look up table.
I have mapped the fields in Catalog item table for MIME Type<hyper link> & URL<hyper Link> and Hyper Link.
The data is just replicating in DATA manager, but not displaying in UI as image.
Please can you help me to sort it out?
Just explain me how to enable the Hyperlink field to line item.
The steps to import thre Mime type/hyperlinku2026look up table and Qualified table.
Regards
Edwin

SRM MDM catalog with Negative contract price

Hi SRM / MDM Gurus,
I am facing a problem, when transferring contract data from SRM MDM catalog 3.0 to SRM 7.0 shopping cart process.
Scenario:
We have a u201Cnegativeu201D contract Price in MDM and the same I can able to see in the SRM MDM catalog. When trying to add that contract item to shopping cart the price is always positive. For example the SRM MDM catalog contract price is -100.00, when trying to add that item to shopping cart it is always 100.00.
Is there any configuration or OSS to resolve this issue?
Kindly also let me know is it possible pass negative value to shopping cart?
Kindly let me know your comments.
Thanks.
Regards,
Magesh Basavaraj.

Service hierarchy for SRM-MDM catalogi scenario

Hello,
We tried setting up the 'new' SRM-MDM service hierarchy catalogi. I've looked over some sdn threads already and read the SAP help http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/6b/7fb967f6cd4df0a5a9d5dec7e4aa72/frameset.htm. Both told me the service hierarchy should work in the SRM 'bidding/RFx' scenario. Since service hierarchy should work for RFx we continued trying setting it up but ran into the following problem:
Up on opening our service hierarchy catalogi it returns the following message 'Table is empty' and does not show us any items(mss hierarchy is enabled in the SRM-MDM UI configuration for this catalogi). If we change thé UI setting to 'products' the items do show-up in a 'flat' manner (without hierarchy).
- We've set up grouping in the SRM-MDM catalogi for these items
- We've set up an entry in the MSS hierarchy lookup table and assigned this entry some of the catalogi items
- We've not setup any MSS Hierarchy price
- We've setup the item types, the outline item is of type 'MSS header' the subtypes are of type 'Free Text' and the MSS hierarchy entry is of type 'MSS header' aswell.
- we've setup the hierarchy manually with testdata via the important manager (no pi/ix).
Could anybody confirm service hierarchy works in the RFx scenario (mss hierarchy enabled)? Is there something we've missed or are forgetting? Any other pointters are greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Tim

Hello Masa,
We have not loaded our service hierarchy catalogi items from ECC nor SRM. We've manually set-up test-date via the import manager and data manager tools. This, as long as you set it up correctly, should still work in my oppinion?
For the UI configuration the service (mss) is enabled causing the 'empty table' line to show up. If we would change it to 'product' the items would show but in a flat manner.
Do you have any other pointers . F.e. what the item types should be (subitems: free-text and header: mss-header) and what the role of the mss-hierachy and mss-pricing table are and what we should do with those? We've configured grouping (main item, component item, substitute item ..) to enable hierarchy is this correct?
Ps. What does 'MSS' stand for, what does it mean?
Kind regards,
Tim

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

SRM-MDM Catalog Installation/Landscape

Hi,
We are currently having the following landscape in place with regards to the SRM, MDM and SRM-MDM Catalog :
Server 1 : SRM 5.0 Running   (HP-UX)
Server 2:   Enterprise Portal running with MDM Content and SRM-MDM Catalog JAVA components (HP-UX)
Server 3:   Standard MDM Server installation (Windows 2K)
We have configured everything according to the notes and guides (including the guide from Sudhendu Pandey), but when we try to configure the Search UI in Webdynrpo, the java components cannot connect to the MDM host and we are getting just the connection failed error.
My questions are :
1)   Can we run with the above landscape or is it necessary to have the SRM-MDM Catalog Java components installed on the same server as MDM.
2)   Do we have problems with versioning of the MDM server and the SRM-MDM java components ? We already replaced the MDM_JAVA_API with the correct one, but I do not have a newer version of the other api.
3)   Do I need to configure anything on the MDM server to get this running ?
Thanks in advance for your help
Regards
Raymond

Hi Foh,
Apologies for my late reply, but I was travelling. Thanks for this tip. We were using the latest versions for the MDM Portal Content, but the API for the SRM-MDM catalog was different.
I have updated this API with the latest version (Patch 3 HF 1) and now I can logon to the MDM server and I see the MDM Repositories. However if I now try to logon to one of the repositories he gives me the same error that the Login has Failed. The user that I am using is the default one coming with the SRM-MDM repository (Admin).

Raymond

Renaming the label, deleting the tabs, changing the look and feel of the catalog page etc.,
Can any one guide me whether Is it possible to do any settings in the UI for any of these issues ?If not how can i go about it to make these chanegs in the shopping cart page? Or is there any other way to make these changes..
Can anyone please guide me on this...
Thanks & Regards
Sireesha.

Hello Sreesha,
You can configure the look n feel of your Catalog Screen.
The SRM-MDM catalog business content, there are some scar files which you have deployed on the server.With the help of that scar file, you can access the search UI Catalog Screen from the link as mentioned below:
Http://servername:port/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM
Just coneect with your MDM server by server name and password then select your repository.In the standard repository of SRM-MDM, there is alreardy a user as "Master" having role as "UI Configuratation Manager"
Just login with user as "Master" and pwd as blank.
then you can find the UI screen, there are so many functionality to configure your catalog screen.
Hope this will help you.

Note 1141870 - SRM-MDM Catalog: Usage of Shopping List (Memory, M/S)
Symptom
The usage of Shopping Lists in the SRM-MDM Catalog has direct influence on the memory consumption of the MDM Server.
Note 1153525 - Enabling shopping lists for named users
Note 1165452 - SRM-MDM Catalog 2.0 SP04 Patch00 Release Note
Shopping Lists
You can use this function as a:
Template for orders that are made regularly
Search criterion
Prerequisites
Your User Interface (UI) Configuration Manager has given you shopping list authorization.
A shopping list must have at least one item in it to serve as a search criterion.
To display all items in a shopping list, the search criterion must be reset before the shopping list is selected.
This is because the search UI treats the shopping list as a search criterion. Consequently, any other active search criterion reduces the items displayed to a subset of all the items in the shopping list.
To display all shopping lists, including empty ones, on the Shopping List tab page, one of the following conditions must be met:
No other search criterion has been entered
The search has been reset
Activities
When a shopping list is selected as a search criterion, the system restricts the search by removing any items not included in the list from the search result.
Items can be added or removed from shopping lists in the shopping cart preview.
Note
Depending on authorization, users can modify either their own shopping lists or those of others.
This function provides search strategies for locating products, displaying product item details, and transferring items to procurement applications such as the cart. The Search User Interface (UI) can be configured to meet individual user requirements.
Prerequisites
The User Interface (UI) Configuration Manager is responsible for configuring the search UI.
If you cannot access some of the functions and features listed below, check that your user has been correctly configured. For more information, see User-Specific Configuration: Product Procurement
Features
On the Search tab page:
Keyword search
Advanced Search
Hierarchy (category) View
Allows you to drilldown when searching. This view also displays product attributes, if they have been maintained.
List View (for displaying search results)
Displays results with images and a URL to item details
Context View (for displaying search results)
Navigation up and down the list is possible and item images are also available.
In the List View and in the Context View, the following functions are available:
Add To Cart
Compare for price comparisons. For more information, see Compare Function
Cart Preview
On the Cart Preview tab page, the following functions are available:
Transfer Items
Delete
Delete All
Back to Search Result
Add to Shopping List
Recalculate
Add to Shopping List
Remove from Shopping List
Current search parameters are displayed on the Search Criteria tab page.
Shopping Lists can be maintained on the Shopping Lists tab page.

SRM-MDM-Catalog and XI using HTTP

I need to do a integration between SRM 5 and SRM-MDM-Catalog using XI.
I imported the SRM-MDM-Catalog packages into the XI and I saw that all connections with MDM are using FTP in the comunnication channel template.
Is it possible to do connections for MDM using http or soap?

As far as I know using Files is how XI interacts with MDM. All scenarios I have seen on SDN have been with File adapter being used on MDM 's side.
Maybe there is a way , am watching this thread as well.
