Read data from MDM For Lookup and Flat table using MDM ABAP API

Hi,
I have requriment to read data from MDM from FLAT and Lookup table using MDM ABAP API. My design is like this ,
I have one ITEMS (Main table in MDM) and inside that i have one Lookup flat table ITEM_TYPE , my requriment is to read Item number and its related Item type.
From ABAP.
Please help if any body has any idea.

HI Guys,
I found my solution by myself. Below is the solution , hope this will help others:-
Retrieve data from MDM using MDM ABAP API.
Step- 1. Create structure in SAP with the same name as that of MDM field code for MDM Main table.
Step-2. Create another structure in SAP having all lookup fields of MDM , fieldname in ECC must be same as that of MDM field
code.
Step-3.Create structure in SAP for individual lookup field(Single Field only) with the same name as MDM Field code.
Step-4.

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
Are you creating material in MDM using Data Manager or Portal. or Using ABAP API.
If your workflow trigger Action is "Record Create" then it should trigger workflow as soon as new material is created. I don't see any problem in this.

MDM Hierarchy Table Into Tree UI Control in ABAP WebDynpro & MDM ABAP APIs

Experts,
I am a newbie to ABAP / MDM ABAP APIs. I am looking into the possibility of using Tree as as a UI control in a webdynpro abap application to represent hierarchy tables, perform hierarchy / taxonomy search, create and update records involving hierarchy fields, using MDM ABAP APIs.
I would like to seek inputs to check whether and how, is it possible to use MDM ABAP APIs to:
1. To perform taxonomy search on material table
2. To Create material records in the main table involving taxonomy fields.
3. To search on main table records using taxonomy attribute values as search parameters.
4. To use Tree UI control with in WebDynPro ABAP, to peform above operations.
We intend to use function modules - service calls from within WebDynPro ABAP applications, hence would like to know the feasibility, actual build effort and complexity of function modules.
Inputs and advice on same will be highly appreciated and duly rewarded.
Regards,
Paras

1. To perform taxonomy search on material table - if material table is of type Taxonomy then possible
2. To Create material records in the main table involving taxonomy fields - possible . you create records in main table and assign value of field to that of taxonomy table entry
3. To search on main table records using taxonomy attribute values as search parameters. - possiblr
4. To use Tree UI control with in WebDynPro ABAP, to peform above operations. - yes possible
dont mix between hierarchy table and taxonomy table
they are diff in MDM , but it is possible to build UI with WD tree element for each of these types.
all that you said are supported in ABAP APIs
thanks

MDM ABAP API - Retrieval of Qualified Flat lookup fields

Hi,
I am having trouble retrieving the records using MDM ABAP API when the fields that are being retrieved includes a Qualified Flat lookup field. An exception is being thrown with the error message Value with type id 0 is not supported. I don't see any problem when I am trying to retrieve other fields of types String or Real. The type of the Qualified Flat lookup field is set to MDM_QUALIFIED_LINK_TABLE as per the How to guides given by SAP. Any ideas on why the exception is occuring?
Thanks

        ENDLOOP.
      ENDIF.
      CALL METHOD lr_api->mo_core_service->query

        IMPORTING
          et_result_set       = gt_result.
I can't pass multiple values to gt_query like in select-option.
Is there any way to do so?.
Thanks & Regards,
Soumya.

Any solution?.

MDM ABAP APIs Issues;

Hi All,
1. Can we Create Lookup Field in the main table which is
link to Lookup Sub table Using MDM ABAP APIs.
2. We have to Assign FieldQualifiedFlatLookup entries and also qualifiers manually by going into MDM Data Manger as given in HowTo_13.Pdf. Can we achieve this Only Using MDM ABAP APIs.
3. What is the Role of Value Check inHowTo_19.Pdf.
4. Can change tracking achievable using MDM ABAP APIs
Assure Ponits will be rewarded for helpful Answers:
Thanks in Advance,
Mandy

Hi Mandy,
I would like to help you out on your last query.
ABAP API's has provided with 2 methods which are related to Change tracking.
The 2 methods are:
1. RETRIEVE_CHANGE_TRACKING: You can use this method to update the MDM Change tracking metadata.
2. RETRIEVE_UPDATE_TRACKING You can use this method to retrieve the MDM Change tracking metadata.
Along with this, you can use the tracking and CCMS Montioring functionality to keep a track on changes done in MDM through ABAP API's.
I am also attaching a link to a very gud webinar by Klaus David on ABAP API's:
[https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/00dd47bd-f2f1-2910-5eab-e9ca52465ae4].
Kindly go through it.
I hope it helps.

Thank you Andreas its working fine. I am getting new issue
if i can filter result vs result or result vs selected or sleeted vs result.
I am passing the values in is_matching_filter.

How to populate boolean fields using MDM Java API's

Hi Experts!
I am trying to populate Boolean fields in main table of my repository using MDM JAVA API SP 05 patch 2.
Problem is i am geting syntax error for any value that i try to put in.
Please provide me sample code for the purpose.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Here is the code snippet to populate boolean values from Main Table in the Repository:
Populating boolean values from Main Table in the Repository:
wdContext.currentNodeElement().setABC(Boolean.valueOf((strABC).toString()).booleanValue());
Putting boolean values in the main table:
Record objEmptyRecord = RecordFactory.createEmptyRecord(new TableId(strTableId));
boolean bFieldValue = ((Boolean)strABC).booleanValue();
objEmptyRecord.setFieldValue(new FieldId(strFieldId),new
BooleanValue(bFieldValue));
Hope this helps.

MDM ABAP API - Language information not valid for repository

Dear all,
We're programming an interface in SAP R/3 to MDM catalog through 'MDM ABAP API's'. Automatically, it creates an RFC connection to MMD, but we're getting the following connection errorwhen executing the API:
E MDM_ABAP_API 078 Language information ENG US USA not valid for MDM repository XXXYYYZZZ*.
*where XXXYYYZZZ is the repository name.
W'e've established the connection in R/3 through transaction MDMAPIC and we've created the same user in R/3 and MDM Console.
This is the code written on the program where we are defining the language (ENG), country (US) and region (USA).
*maintain logon language information
ls_repository_language-language = 'ENG'.
ls_repository_language-country = 'US'.
**no region information needed here
ls_repository_language-region = 'USA'.
How can I see the repository language definition?
Which are the correct codes to be used for language 'English', Country 'United States' and Region 'USA'? And for other countries, like spanish language, country Spain and Region ¿spain?
In fact, we copied this code from website:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmdm71/helpdata/en/44/93ad8931381053e10000000a422035/frameset.htm
Maybe the problem is that any RFC configuration is missing, and it has to be done in transaction SM59?
Thanks for your feecback,
Carlos Santamaría.

The problem is now solved.
The correct languague information codes for Language Spanish, Country Spain and Region, are as follows:
Language: 'spa'
Country: 'ES'
Region: '___'
It is important to respect the CAPS, otherwise it doesn't work.
Regards,
Carlos Santamaría.
