How to use mdm-xi-r3

Hi!
I have some doubts.
Is there any guide, or someone can tell me the step by step solution to use xi-syndicator?
*I want to implement srm-r3-mdm. I've downloaded the business content, but i don't know how it works, also I don't know anything about the xi content, only that I've downloaded.
-for example for SRM, the BC recommends to use 1 table as vendor with 4 fields. But in my repository I have 10 fields in that table, using the inbound port I will get only the data of those 4 fields. Can I use that xml (add the fields I use) as an outbound?? or I have to create a new xml, with my schema?
-with R/3
to get the info, I will use the mgmgx transaction, it will generate one or some xmls. Can I use them to export data?
-how can i create an xml, only exporting the schema in the console... is it the same i can use in syndicator and import manager??
--even if i have to create a new xml or use the same as in the inbounds... how mdm-syndicator-xi-srm/r3 works? when the xml converts in an idoc... you need to map something? or how
the data in mdm, knows to wich field in r3/srm have to go?... here is where the xi-mdm content works??
i hope someone can help me!

Hi,
If I understood correctly; You are trying to connect SRM and MDM and not R/3.
You need SRM-MDM catalog.

You should also read the SAP Note 1057316.

How to use MDM users in portal?

Hi All,
How to use MDM users in EP, my requirement is,
i have an users, if the user log's in portal, depending on the portal user login, we need to assign a perticular region for that user such as europe, south america, asia....,
before he log's in portal we need to confirm that user belongs to perticular region in MDM.
we maintain users in MDM, when an europe user log's in portal we need to assign him europe system so that he can login in to that europe system. when a asia user log's in portal we need assign him asia system, so that he can login in to that asia system.
how to do this in portal
Regards
jagadeesh

Hi Jagaeesh,
You need to configure sso between MDM and EP. You can do it with the help of UID method as there is no logon ticket method available with MDM 5.5.
And for region specification, you can create different portal desktop, framework, theme for diffreent region users inside portal and define portal's master rule as per accordingly by creating user groups inside portal and assigning different desktops to different region user's.
Then, create contents (like roles, worksets, pages, iviews, km contents) inside portal according to region and assign those contents to different groups as per requirement.
So that, deplending on region user's, when they login into portal would see different content inside it.

How to map lookup main table field in another main table using MDM 7.1?

We created a new SAP MDM 7.1 repository with multiple main tables. The first main table is called ProductMaster table which contains Products information. The ProductCode is the primary key and the only display field for the table during data loading process. The second main table is ProductByRegion table which has a main table lookup field ProductCode and a RegionId field. These two fields (ProductCode and RegionId) combine as the PK for this main table. Both main tables have key mapping enabled.
I was able to load ProductMaster table using Import Manager. But Iu2019m having trouble to load data into ProductByRegion table using MDM Import Manager. Although I have met all the 5 requirements below (excerpted from MDM Import Manager Reference Guide P.222), the ProductCode wonu2019t show up on the destination value pane. If I mapped all productCode to NULL field, ProductCode wonu2019t load. If I u2018Addu2019 all ProductCode to Destination Value pane, the Import Manager added duplicated rows to Product Master table while only loading 1 record to ProductByRegion table. I canu2019t get ProductCode show up in Matching Destination Field list. When I checked ProductMaster records in MDM Data Manager, I right-clicked on one of records, chose Edit Key Mappings, it didnu2019t show anything. However, if I right-clicked on one of those duplicated rows, Edit Key Mapping shows remote system and key correctly.
Where did I do wrong? How can I fix the problem?
Thank you for help in advance.
From: SAP MDM Import Manager Reference Guide:
Mapping to Main Table Lookup Destination Fields
Import Manager handles main table lookup fields (Lookup [Main])
differently than other MDM lookup fields. Specifically, Import Manager
does not display the complete set of display field values of the records
of the underlying lookup table. Instead, the values it displays for a main
table lookup field are limited by both the key mappings for the lookup
table and the values in the source file.
Also, Import Manager does not automatically display the values of a
Lookup [Main] destination field in the Destination Values grid when you
select the field in the Destination Fields grid. Instead, for a main table
lookup field value to appear in the Destination Values grid, all of the
following conditions must be met:
u2022 The lookup table must have key mapping enabled
u2022 The lookup field must be mapped to a source field
u2022 The source field must contain key values for the lookup table
u2022 The destination value must have a key on the current remote system
u2022 The destination valueu2019s key must match a source field value
NOTE ►► The current remote system is the remote system that was
selected in Import Manageru2019s Connect to Source dialog (see
u201CConnecting to a Remote Systemu201D on page 416 for more information).

Hi Michael,
Thank you very much for your response. I'm new to SAP MDM, I need some clarification and help regarding your solution.
I did use two maps to load ProductMaster and ProductByRegion separately. Here were my steps:
1. create main table ProductMaster with key mapping enabled at the table level and set ProductCode as unique and writable once (primary key).
2. create a map to load ProductMaster record from a staging table located an oracle database. But Key mapping didn't show anything when I looked at them using Data Manager.
3. create main table ProductByRegion with a lookup field looking at ProductMaster table. This field and RegionId combines as a unique field for ProductByRegion table.
4. create a map to load ProductByRegion table. But ProductCode records only shows on the source pane not destination pane and can't be mapped properly.
My questions:
1. How can I "Ensure that you add key mapping info for all ProductMaster records" besides enabling Key Mapping on the table level?
2. How can I define a concatenation of ProductCode and RegionId as a REMOTE KEY"?
Thanks a lot for your help!

How to create a taxonomy using MDM 5.5 SP05 JAVA API?

Hi ALL,
I have a requirement in which i have to create a taxonomy using MDM 5.5 SP05 JAVA API.
Can anyone tell me how that functionality can be achieved?
Thanks in Advance.
Rajat.

HI, Rajat.
For exposing hierarchy in WD view you need to use node with recursive children in the context and Tree/TreeNodeType UI elements in view layout.
For load hierarchy records you have to use RetrieveLimitedHierTreeCommand. You can load whole hierarchy (as I know, SP05 API have a bug - only first 1000 record can be loaded) or load hierarchy nodes on demand (using OnLoadChildren action of TreeNodeType element).
Refer to this example of loading child records:
// Context structure:
// Tree (model node, model class built from com.sap.mdm.data.Record interface)
// |-- Children (recursive child node repeating Tree node)
// |-- DisplayValue (string value attribute, TreeNodeType's text property bound here)
// |-- HasChildren (boolean value attribute, TreeNodeType's hasChildren property bound here)
// parentElem is element of node Tree or Children for which we must load child records, null for first level of hierarchy
private void fillNodeWithChildren(IPrivateHierarchySelectView.ITreeElement parentElem) {
     // Determining RecordId of parent record and context node to which child records belong
     RecordId parentRecordId = null;
     if (parentElem != null) parentRecordId = parentElem.modelObject().getId();
     IPrivateHierarchySelectView.ITreeNode parentNode =
          parentElem == null
               ? wdContext.nodeTree()
               : parentElem.nodeChildren();
     // Loading children with RetrieveLimitedHierTreeCommand
     try {
          RetrieveLimitedHierTreeCommand retTreeCmd = new RetrieveLimitedHierTreeCommand(...); // use suitable constructor
          if (parentRecordId != null) retTreeCmd.setRootNode(parentRecordId);
          retTreeCmd.setResultDefinition(...); // don't forget set ResultDefinition
          retTreeCmd.execute();
          HierNode subRoot = retTreeCmd.getTree()
          parentNode.invalidate();
          // Processing loaded child records - add elements into parentNode
          if (subRoot == null) return;
          IPrivateHierarchySelectView.ITreeElement childElem;
          HierNode childRecord;
          HierNode[] children = subRoot.getChildren();
          int count = children == null ? 0 : children.length;
          for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
               childRecord = children<i>;
               childElem = parentNode.createTreeElement(childRecord);
               childElem.setDisplayValue(childRecord.getDisplayValue());
               childElem.setHasChildren(!childRecord.isLeaf());
               parentNode.addElement(childElem);
          if (parentElem != null) parentElem.setHasChildren(count > 0);
     } catch (/* Some MDM Exceptions */) {}
Don't forget call fillNodeWithChildren(null) in wdDoInit for load first level of hierarchy.

MDM Web Service authentication issue. How to use ?

Hi,
I' am a Microsoft technology person I' am working on integrating SAP MDM 7.1 to SharePoint 2010 using MDM Web Services interface and consuming the same in .NET custom component.
I tried the WS with "None" authentication and it worked great.
I' am having issues understanding how HTTPAuthentication with SAP Logon ticket authentication works in MDM.
Created the authentication enabled web service and while testing in NetWeaver WS Navigator, it throws me exception, not able to establish session with repository for user XYZ.
Please help me with the following queries I have:
1) How to test a authentication enabled web service in NetWeaver WS Navigator ? Do the user id/password needs to be set in the "Invocation Parameters" ? Link to any article etc will be appreciated.
2) How to pass the MDM user credentials (or just the username) in the MDM web service in .NET code. I didn't see any parameter in the Client class constructor to pass the same, nothing related to that found in the code that gets generated on adding the service reference.
As per the documentation on the MDM security, looks like a trust relationship also needs to be configured on MDM - allow.ip file entries.
However first I want to understand how to pass this information in Web Services through code.
SharePoint   -
(1)--> SAP PI -(2)--
> SAP MDM
(integrated with Active Directory                        (Where Web services are deployed     (have its own user accounts)
so logged in user is already authenticated)          and have its own user accounts)
The trust relationship configuration could solve the problem of authentication marked in second hop (2) by registering the IP address of PI server.
Please help me understand how would it work to solve the first hop (1) problem and what needs to be done.
Thanks,
Parvinder

Thanks Gaurav.
The link talks about setting up the Trust with MDM server.
The code sample provided there has the following step where user name is being set and passed to MDM:
Use command to authenticate user session on trusted connection
       TrustedUserSessionCommand tuscTrustedUser =
       new TrustedUserSessionCommand(mySimpleConnection);
       // Set the user name to use
       tuscTrustedUser.setUserName(UsernameAsString);
       tuscTrustedUser.setSession(session);
       tuscTrustedUser.execute();
       session = tuscTrustedUser.getSession();
I want to understand how to do that for MDM Web Services.
I didn't see any method accepting this user name while calling the web service method / creating client object.
So that link is still missing.
Appreciate if anyone can help me with that.
This is for MDM 7.1
Thanks,
Parvinder

How to Use the language function for assignment and validation

Hi All,
If anyone can explain me in details with example ,how to use the language function for assignments and validations?
Thanks
Arnab

Hi Arnab,
The expression is checked only for the current MDM session.
If u login with the ABC language it will always show the ABC language no matter how many times u execute it.
Try connecting to the DM with the XYZ language.
It should go to the if part rather than else.
Hope it helps.

How to use the catalog in our own Web Dynpro program?

Hi Expert,
How to access MDM catalog and bring the product data back to a our own Web Dynpro program?

Hi Masa,
The Catalog Search UI of SRM that is referred to as UI as aforementioned is a page which is capable of the selection of catalog items is linked from the shopping cart creation.
Our biz requirement content two scenarioes to processing the purchase requirement.
A. Create shopping cart via the catalog (PR) --> SRM PO Process --> SUS(PO and Invoice)
This is the standard SRM purchase scenario and we have already implemented that.
B. Create a requirement document via the catalog (This document is same with the SC but very simple, and we create this function by the own web dynpro program) --> transfer the requirement document to other purchasing system(none SAP) in our intranet.
So the key problems we faced are below:
1. How to connect to the catalog search UI from our own web dynpro program.
( If we connect the catalog via the MDM ABAP API, that will make the catalog serach UI could not be used;
Also it has been failed to simulate the function of SC's connection to the catalog;
So we decide to link the catalog serach UI via the URL, the linkage is "http://<J2EEserver:J2EEport>/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM?sap-locale=EN&HOOK_URL=&mask=&namedSearch=General&username=&password=&catalog=<Repository Name>&server=&datalanguage=EN". )
2. How to transfer the catalog item data to our own web dynpro program.
If we link the catalog search UI by URL, we can not find any good method to transfer the catalog item data to our own program.

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.
