  • New to mdm management

    Hi,
    I have recently taken on two School's IT management and they have a number of Apple devices.  THey currently do very little in terms of managing these devices and this poses a big risk to data loss.  More importantly, they can not do anything with lost or stolen devices.
    I'm aware of a number of MDM platforms on the market, I have in fact had experience with Good and Mobileiron but I'm wanting to do something cheaply if possible.
    I know Profile manager can do what I have mentioned above and much more, but I don't yet have an Apple computer to do this.  Can someone explain what device is best to use (iMac/Macbook)  Does the device need to be on all the time with the same network address? 
    I was planning to run this from home and manage both schools devices, just using seperate profiles for each school. 
    Any advice at the moment would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks

    " . . . what device is best to use . . .?"
    Does not matter as any mac will do. IMO the answer to your second question rules out a laptop as it would be a poor use of an expensive portable device more suited for a different purpose. Most people in your situation tend to go for a MacMini. It's cheaper than the other two and has a very small form factor. Ideally buy two and set them up in a redundant configuration.
    "Does the device need to be on all the time with the same network address?"
    As you know Apple's MDM is called Profile Manager. You get Profile Manager with OS X Server. OS X Server is an App and not an OS. That said it should still be treated as a Server with all that that means. A Server should have a fixed location within a network it resides in. It should be accessible by the devices you're trying to manage which implies a fixed IP address and always on availability. Beyond the fixed IP address nothing will work well (if at all) without a properly defined hostname and a DNS server that can resolve that name properly. This can't be emphasised enough and is crucial. Get that part right at the beginning and everything else will 'just work.' Your school's IT Management should have already done this anyway although depending on their understanding of what DNS is it may prove a potential stumbling block?
    You can access the PM web-based management portal from anywhere you like. However this will mean configuring whatever firewall the school is using. For example allowing VPN access from whatever computer you're using at your home - Mac or PC. Does not matter which as it is via a web browser and any web browser will do - or configuring the school's external domain to do the same.
    You should also look beyond PM. PM won't back-up the devices for you. If iOS devices are involved you should consider using a combination of iTunes and/or iCloud and/or Apple Configurator to back-up any locally stored data. I would steer clear of this and use something like WebDAV Navigator or Foldr instead.
    For OS X devices network logins would be the way to go. Student data would be stored on a drive attached to your Server. This data would in turn be backed up by whatever backup solution the school is using. Does not matter whether the network is based Microsoft's Active Directory or Apple's Open Directory. I would also consider using DeployStudio, Munki and Apple Remote Desktop for a more rounded management/deployment approach that go far beyond what is available in PM alone.
    It can be simple and straightforward and in practice it is as long as you know what you're doing and where the potential gotchas are. You may benefit from an experienced consultant coming in and advising/assisting you in the initial setup? It makes sense as using Apple devices in an enterprise network can be painful if the initial 'get-off-the-ground' phase is handled poorly.

  • Status Report for MDM

    Hi Folks
    I am new to MDM.  The requirement is that the through MDM GL accounts are created in 45 clients across the landscape.
    In each client, the error message are dispatched in the Business Workplace Inbox of the user. however The user have to go into each and every client to check for the error messages ( if any).
    We require a report which searches across each and every client and collects the error messages of GL Account data load and present it to the user in a summarized way.
    In this way, user will be able to get the summary of error messages  in each and every client without logging into each and every client and manually looking for the error messages.
    If you know any standard report, please let me know or if u know one which does this job in one client atleast so that I can make a custom copy of that report.
    Regards
    Waz

    The requirement is withdrawn. Will need to develop a custom report using RFC destinations.

  • Few questions on MDM

    Hi,
    Iam new in MDM have some questions can anyone do clarify the same,
    1.     How the User can validate the records before importing to import manager. We need to have a list of items which are skipped or created other than summary. Now we have only summary?
    2.     How to identify from which client the data is getting imported?
    3.     Is there an option of merging fields in batch?
    4.     How to trace which data is merged? Is it legacy or R/3?
    5.     How does user
    Thanks,
    Suresh

    Hi, Suresh,
    2. When you launch Import Manger you specify Remote System that you import data from. Also if table you are importing into has 'Key mapping' enabled, then you can map remote key and as a result you will find that just uploaded records have entries in key mapping table that point to the local system you imported data from.
    3. If you mean merging records (not fields) in batch then you can do it when you import records by defining Matching Fields at Matching Records tab of Import Manager. This fields or field combinations will be used to identify records to be merged.
    If for example there are 2 incoming records and 1 record in repository table with same value of field "ID" chosen as Matching Field, then finally you will get only 1 record, merged of these 3 records.

  • 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!

  • Catalog import with MDM Import manager

    Hi all,
    I'm new in MDM, and working on data import in MDM
    I've already import hierarchy data in MDM with hierarchy ID, hierarchy name, and key words.
    Now I'm building the mapping of catalogue item data
    I want to automap the source field "hierarchy cID" to destination field "hierarchy ID" BUT only display the field "hierarchy name".
    Same question on the supplier field.
    I believe it's a standard function, could and one help me please?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    I could think of two options:
    1. You can Use Remote Key for this. While import data into Hierarchy and supplier subtable Map Hieraarchy ID and Suppier Code field of the source File to the Remote Key, and clone of Hieraarchy ID and Suppier Code field to the Hieraarchy ID and Suppier Code field of MDM repository. in this way you can have Hierarchy ID and Supplier Code as remote key for Hierarchy and supplier Subtables.
    Now while importing Catalog Data in the Main table, if you are getting hierarchy ID or Supplier Code in the source File, MDM will automatically Map hierarchy ID with the Hierarchy Name & Supplier code with Supplier Name based on Remote Key.
    2. Change the Display Field of the Hierarchy and supplier subtables
    Try this and let me know if you face any Problem.

  • Error starting the MDM server in client system

    Hi MDM Experts,
    I am new to MDM and we have just installed MDM 5.5 on our system. We are able to 'Mount the Repository' via the MDM Console on the client side but when we try to 'Start MDM Server', we encounter the error below:
    "Error starting MDM server: The machine (server name) is not Windows-based. The MDM server cannot be started from this application; please use CLIX on the machine instead."
    What must we do to resolve this error? Please help us on this matter.
    Thanks in advance!
    ASP

    Hi ASP,
    MDM server operations can Be performed through Console only if your Server is Windows based.
    You can perform the some repository options through Console ,but for any Server based operations like Mounting the server,Start/Stop server  etc you will have to operate through the CLIX ie Command line interface.
    I Guess yours is a Unix based system or something else which is not Windows based.
    so it will not allow you,
    Either you install your server on  a windows based system to operate through Console.
    Or if you want to continue with the NON windows based system then you will have to use CLIX for most of your Console opeartions.
    Hope It Helped
    Thanks & Regards

  • MDM catalog Search UI is showing SRM-MDM Service catalog instead of Product

    Hi Experts,
    We are working on SRM7.0 with MDM. We have one Development environment where MDM is working fine.
    We made a copy of Existing MDM repository to new Server and Created new SRM-MDM environment for demo setup.
    We have nade SRM instance as a copy of Development and when we try to connect to the MDM after making all changes to the search ui as same as Development we are getting search UI page of catalog as SRM-MDM Service catalog instead of SRM-MDM Product catalog.
    I can able to acess the new repository through MDM Data manager it is fine.
    The products in repository are not displayed in search ui page as only service view of catalog is shown.
    Kindly reply if you have any idea or sugession.
    Regards,
    B.N.Karthikeyan.

    Hi,
    Login into the SRM -MDM repository ---> Go to General configuration settings --> select tab 'General'
    On default 'Service' radio button will be seected change the the radio button  to the ''Product' and save. Catalog will work as Product catalog.

  • Data is not imported in to MDM in PI---- MDM scenario

    Hi All,
    Here my scenario is loading data in to MDM from PI using MDM adapter.
    When i tried for the first message it is successfully loaded in Data Manager through the Import manager but when i try for second message its not loaded in to Data Manger and from PI side it is showing that data is successfully sent to MDM through MDM adapter.I dont know what could be the wrong as i am new to MDM can anyone suggest me where should i check.
    I also checked in the Port at MDM Console its showing the status as HasData.but when i check at import manager and Data Manager the second message is not there its only showing the first message or first record.
    kindly suggest me.
    Thanks,
    Kalyan

    Hi Priti,
    Thanks for valuable suggestion....Yes i did the same but problem which i found was lot of messages with same data were there in port->inbound-->ready folder  and i removed the same messages and processed with new messages.
    But one more doubt here...can't it directly store in data manger i mean without manual interaction lets say in the import manager we have to execute import option.....is it somethng like everytime when data comes to MDM from PI...is there  any workflow which can automatical stores the data in data manager without executing import option.
    BTW could you also provide me documents on creating customized workflows in MDM....??
    Here is your hit...
    Thanks,

  • Unique Identifier in MDM Profisee Stage table

    Hi team,
    I am new to MDM profisee tool and currently working for Addres verification project for my organization.
    I wanted to clear my doubts here about Unique Identifer in Stage table and how it works.. Here what i understand till now:
    Step 1) I created an Entity using MDM profisee UI and it generated a stage table in MDS database called stg.Address_leaf
    Step 2) I have loaded data from external source to MDS stage table using ETL and passed Import type as 2 and Import status id as 0
    Step 3) I have run store procudure system generated something stg.udp_Address_leaf to load the model and passed the version name as Version_1, Log flag as '1' and Batch tag as 'Address'
    Now my below are my questions:
    1) What is the field i can use in MDS stage table to populate my unique intifier value coming from source? (lets say Address_Id is my Unique value for all the records coming from source)
    2)  Where/how Unique Identifier is useful in this process? Will this be helpful in next time load from stage to Model?
    3) If i truncate and load my MDS stage table in next run and few earlier records has been updated how it will update those records in Model? will this process (code present in SP) recognize by Unique Identier column present in MDS stage table?
    I may have few more questions on this process but wanted to start from here.
    Thanks,
    Akash

    Thanks David for your reply.
    So instead of i use Auto generate to populate Code attribute, i can load Code Attribute during loading the stage table with my source unique values.
    And then later on, when i will have new updated values coming in for a member record, Stored procedure will use that code attribute value and update the model accrodingly for the changed values for the member?
    i need to use Import type as 2 in this case.
    Example:
    I have existing record in MDS staging table let's say
    Code, City, Zip, Import type, Import status
    0001, Chicago,61000,2,0
    In next load run, i first truncate the data from MDS staging and now i have updated row for existing code ‘0001’ where Zip code values changed from previous 61000 to 61001:
    Code, City, Zip, Import type, Import status
    0001, Chicago,61001,2,0
    In this case, when we execute the SP, it will update the Zip code in Model using Code as unique indentifier. and no duplicates will occur.
    Please correct me if i am wrong.
    Thanks,
    Akash

  • Java Program in MDM to call a standard java class

    Hi All,
    In MDM- GDS, (Global Data Synchronization), we have a scenario where, once we register the Items , it will be transported to a Data Pool called 1SYNC through SAP PI.
    There is a standard Java PRoxy(Kind of java Class) in MDM, which will be triggered once we register the Item in MDM-GDS.
    That Java Proxy will send the Item INfo as a XML message to PI.
    So we would like to know whether its possible to automate this process.
    Like,Writing a new Java Program which will check all the new items and trigger the Java Proxy and send these items as XML Messages to PI.
    I m new to MDM. So it would be really helpful, If i could get some inputs on this. Like, is it possible in MDM. If so, how?

    Aarthi,
    you can acheive this from MDM itself, and need not to write any Java proxy.
    you may consider following logic.
    Create a field with the Name Status and Initilize it with Value "new". Now define syndicaiton Map to syndicate records which holds value "new" in the status field.  define a workflow with syndication step, using maps defined earlier. After syndication step, execute an assignment to change Status field value from "New" to "Syndicated".
    Revert back if any question.

  • MDM 7.1 installation / system copy

    Hi,
    New to MDM administration here so please help. I have a MDM 7.1 Production system running on windows and ms sql. Now i need to create a new QA system as a copy of this prod system. I am confused as to whether i should use the archive/unarchive procedure to move the repository content or shall i use the SQL backup/restore to copy the DB. I have about 8-9 small DBs in my MDM system -- around 1 GB each and I have one big DB around 200 GB that I believe has all the master data.
    Shall i first copy the DBs and then do MDM installation or shall i only do a fresh install and then archive/unarchive the repositories ?? will archive/unarchive bring over all my data and configuration like connections to PI, ECC system etc ?
    Also, i would like to know how to modify the connections etc in MDM to point to the correct QA systems after a system copy ?
