I referred to many threads on SDN but couldn't get through any.
I have already downloaded the java API which has one .sca file and two folders, each has some .jar files and javadoc folder.
Kindly help on how should i go with it.
Regards,
Chintan Sheth

Hi Chintan,
You wont install MDM Java API as u install your MDM server or client.
What the use of the MDM Java API?
1. Stand-alone Java Applications.
U can use MDM java API for your stand-alone applications that runs locally on your PC etc... For this you can import the MDM Java jar file into to the library of yourstand alone java application project.
2. J2EE Application or custom MDM iview in EP or SAP Webdynpro Apllication.
U can deploy the .sca file in the SAP WAS Java using the SDM client and u can extend the MDM Java API in your J2EE Application or custom MDM iview in EP or SAP Webdynpro Apllication
get back for help...

Some question about mdm java api and portal content

Hi Gurus,
I am new to MDM. I am going to develop some web dynpro application using mdm java api.
My question is regarding the relationship between MDM version and NW version:
for example
1.MDM5.5 JAVA api can be deployed to CE 7.11 server?
2.MDM7.1 JAVA API can be deployed to CE 7.11 server? or can only be deployed to CE server.
the same question for the MDM portal content.
the possible dev environment for our company would be:
1.MDM7.1
2.CE7.2(do we need another EP7 server for the UWL?)
Best regards,
John

Hi,
I am using Portal 7.0. MDM version is 7.1.
My problem is ... i am trying to connect WebDynpro (JAVA) to MDM7.1. But am unable to do so. I have a WD Frame in which i have a WD iView and the MDM iView. But i am unable to pass parameters from the WD iView to MDM Item Details iView.
Note:
1. I have deployed MDM JAVA API on NWDS
2. I have specified " * " as a parameter to pass from the URL in the Item Details iView.
Please help.
Every help that i have read talks about CE7.1 but not NW 7.0

Hi Suresh,
You can have the MDM JAVA API javadocs from the link
http://help.sap.com/javadocs/MDM/SP06P2/index.html
There you can see a package named com.sap.mdm.examples.The classes in it contains some examples using which you can start understanding the code.
You need to have MDM JAR files for it. And these JAR files to be used at build time can be added to the project thru :-
Right click on project-> properties->Java Build Path - > Add external JARs
At run time you can add them the reference in
Right click on project-> properties->web dynpro references->library reference.

MDM JAVA API to enter value into field of type date

Hi All,
I am having an input field in a typical Dynpro application where a date would be entered.I want to enter the date in my MDM table in a field of type "Date".Do you have any idea about MDM JAVA API's I need to do this.Also how can I do this ?
Thanks
Vinay

Hi,
Web Dynpro shall return you a type Date field. For Value, you shall have to pass SystemTime Object.
Just get the substring of Date.toString() and convert them to Integer ..
So a typical date would look like yyyy-mm-dd (eg: 2006-10-19) and not yyyymmdd.
SystemTime st = new SystemTime();
st.setYear( Integer.parseInt(Date.toString().substring(0,4));
st.setMonth ( Integer.parseInt(Date.toString().substring(5,7));
st.setDate ( Integer.parseInt(Date.toString().substring(8,10));
A2iField date = new A2iField("fieldname", new Value(st));
Hope that helps..
Regards,
Tanveer.
Please mark helpful answers
Note: The above mentioned code is not pasted from any editor..So might contain syntax error..

MDM Java API : urgent

hi all
we hv added 5 jar file
         MDM4J.jar
         mdm-admin.jar
         mdm-common.jar
         mdm-core.jar
         mdm-protocol.jar
but still we are getting error at
IConnectionSpec spec = connectionFactory.getConnectionSpec();
saying "Can not resolve IConnectionSpec"
does any one kno its solution??
do we need to add more jar files???

Hello
We have read installation guide "SAP Netweaver MDM 5.5 SP05", page 22, we want install MDM Connector and MDM Java API, in "installation procedure", it is indicate
1. Extract the files from the archives.
The javadoc folders contain an HTMLbased
collection of documents that
describe the Java API. Make sure you
retain the directory structure.
2. Deploy the SDA files on Web AS
Java using the Software Deployment
Manager (SDM). MDM Connector uses
the mdm4j library as a shared library to
support generic connection.
3. Store the JAR files at the standard
location for the application that uses
them.
4. Include the path to the JAR files in
the class path for the application that
uses them. This may be an
environment variable, a command line
argument, or an application
configuration parameter.
Only we are clear point 2, but rest, we are not sure, please could you clear us it ???
Thanks

Attachments using MDM java API

Hi
How to store attachments in MDM repository using MDM java API.
Could you please suggest us.
Thanks
Sowmya

Hi Sowmya,
You can store attachments using MDM Java API. You can use the following piece of code.
BinaryBlobRecord record2 = RecordFactory.createEmptyBinaryObjectRecord(tableID);
//Attachment to be saved
String filePath = wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_Resource().getUrl(0);
IWDResource resource = wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_Resource();
FileInputStream stream = (FileInputStream)resource.read(true);
int length = 0;
while(stream.read() != -1)
     length++;
byte[] b = new byte[(int) length];
stream.read(b);
stream.close();
record.setName(new StringValue("filename"));
record.setOriginalName(new StringValue("filename"));
record.setHasOriginal(new BooleanValue(true);
RetrieveGroupTreeCommand groupTreeCommand = new    RetrieveGroupTreeCommand(wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_ConnectionStr());
groupTreeCommand.setSession(wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_SessionID());
groupTreeCommand.setGroupType(GroupTypes.DATA_GROUP_TYPE);
groupTreeCommand.execute();
//Set data location and data group ID
record.setDataLocationId(new GroupNodeId("GN2"));
record.setDataGroupId(new GroupNodeId("GN2"));
record.setBinary(new BinaryValue(b));
CreateRecordCommand createRecComm =
                         new CreateRecordCommand(wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_ConnectionStr());
createRecComm.setSession(wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_SessionID());
createRecComm.setRecord(record);
createRecComm.execute();
//Link this record to the main table record
Record QRec = RecordFactory.createEmptyRecord(mainTable);
//Setting the above created record in main table record object
QRec.setFieldValue(attachmentField, new LookupValue(record.getId()));
CreateRecordCommand createRecComm =
                    new CreateRecordCommand(wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_ConnectionStr());
createRecComm.setSession(wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_SessionID());
createRecComm.setRecord(QRec);
createRecComm.execute();
Now the main table record is created with an attachment.
Hope this helps you.

Hi Nitin,
Thanks for the prompt Response.
Even I am guessing that its becose of Connection pool.
I am destroying session as follows
               DestroySessionCommand destroySessionCommand =
               new DestroySessionCommand(p_pool);
          destroySessionCommand.setSession(p_repsession);
          try {
               destroySessionCommand.execute();
          } catch (CommandException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          destroySessionCommand.setSession(p_Uesrsession);
               try {
                    destroySessionCommand.execute();
               } catch (CommandException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
But I didnot find any method by which i can close realsse connection from connection pool.
It would be great if you can help me how close or realese those connection.In MDM Console i am able to see those sessions even after destroying them.
