Importing XI Content for MDM Business or MDM Business Content 5.5 SCV to IR

Hi All,
I'm required to create a CRM->XI->MDM using the provided MDM 5.5 SP05 - Business Content - Business Partner in the. marketplace. From the pdf files that i have read, I understand that i would have to import SAP ABA 7.0, and MDM Business Content/XI Content MDM Business to use the interface objects, mappings and comm channel templates. I have two questions:
1) Should I be importing the XI Content MDM Business or the MDM Business Content 5.5 SWCV to the IR?
2) After importing the above SWCVs , all i get is an empty SWCV for Both MDM Business Content and XI Content MDM Business with no pre-defined namespace and no object. SAP ABA 7.,0 SWCV however is working fine, with all pre-defined namespaces, and objects intact. How can i remedy the MDM Business Content/XI Content MDM Business SWCV?

Hi Sushil,
While i'm not 100 per cent sure of about it, i'm fairly certain that there should be ( I might be wrong). Two documents in the sap service marketplace implies this:
In https://websmp204.sap-ag.de/installMDM under the "Installation" Header->MDM 5.5 SP05 - Business Content - Business Partner.zip, there's a pdf file in the zip folder there that states:
"The XI content for MDM delivers interfaces, interface mappings and communication channel templates tailored to the supported SAP remote systems
and the shipped MDM 5.5 SP05 repositories."
Under the same "Installation" header, there's the IT Scenario Configuration.pdf file. In the pdf file, under the "Setting up XI" section they indicated that as a pre-requisite:
"You have imported the XI content MDM Business 5.5 (XI 3.0) or MDM Business 5.5
7.00 (XI 7.0) to the Integration Repository.
This XI content delivers interfaces, interface mappings, and communication channel
templates tailored to the supported SAP remote systems and the shipped MDM
repositories. The included integration scenarios dramatically reduce the manual effort
required to define the message flow between MDM and the supported SAP remote
systems."
Hence. that's why it leads me to believe that importing the SWCV into the IR "should" give me a pre-defined namespace with some objects available. Any advice on what i should do or did i misread it totally?

XI Business content for MDM - Syntax error in IDOC adapter

Hi mates,
I'm trying out the Master Data Harmonization scenario for Vendor data with R/3 as the client system. I'm using SAP delivered XI Business content for MDM. The mapping program is generating ADRMAS and CREMAS IDocs but the IDOC adapter reports that there is a syntax error in ADRMAS IDOC. Find below the details.
<i><SAP:Category>XIAdapter</SAP:Category>

Strangely, the control record is blank. I looked at the XSLT program, it is coded that way. I do not understand the reason. Is the error pointing to the control record?
Look at the code sample from XSLT mapping program
<xsl:for-each select="IDOC/*/E1ADRMAS">
     <IDOC BEGIN="1">
     
          <EDI_DC40 SEGMENT="1"/>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
     </IDOC>
</xsl:for-each>
How can an IDOC w/o control record be posted?
Did anyone come across this error? Whats wrong/missing?
I appreciate ur inputs.
thx in adv
praveen

Moorthy,
I tried reloading the IDOC metadata from IDX2. Still I get the same error.
Regd, IDOC w/o control record, can u elaborate on "dynamic value while posting IDOCs". From where, XI message SOAP header with Business System replaced by corresponding logical system names?
Thanks

Where to download MDM Business Content for PI 7.0/7.1?

Hi Everyone!
I kindly ask for your help on my problem: I am not able to find the MDM Business Content for PI 7.0/7.1 anywhere. I searched in the Service Marketplace for a long time, but without any results... https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/installMDM seemed to be a good place for it, as well as in "Software Distribution Center" -> "Support Packages and Patches" -> "SAP Content" -> "ESR Content (XI Content)", but neither supply the adequate file
Can anyone help me? Thank you very much!
Best regards
Benedikt

Christian, thank you very much!
Call me blind, but I still can't find it.
After Navigating to Support Packages and Patches --> SAP NetWeaver as suggested, I just have the following options:
SAP NETWEAVER
ADAPTIVE COMPUTING CONTROLLER
SAP NW IDENTITY MANAGEMENT
ACCEL. AD FOR SAP NETWEAVER
Technology components releases prior to SAP NetWeaver
When I follow to the first option (SAP NETWEAVER) I just have the options for various releases of SAP NetWeaver, but no MDM in one of them
Do you have another hint?

XI Content for Material Master used by MDM

Dear all,
Where can I get the XI content for MDM 5.5 SP4 to receive the master data sent from ERP system?
As far as I know, ERP sends two IDoc basic types (MATMAS and MDMRECEIPT). But why I cannot find at the URL https://websmp206.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700004672592006E?
By the way, is it possible for ERP system to send master data via XI proxy instead of IDoc at the moment?
Thanks + Best Regards
Jerome
null

Hi Jerome,
your link is refering to the XI content documentation. To download the XI content, please have a look at SAP <a href="http://service.sap.com/swdc">Software Distribution Center</a>. Follow the menu to "Download" -> "Support Packages and Patches" -> "Entry by Application Group" -> "SAP Netweaver" -> "SAP MDM" -> "SAP MDM 5.5". There you'll find everything you need for your system landscape setup.
The standard extracors for materials do only support the IDocs in ERP.
Kind regards

Hi , how to install " xi content for mdm " in XI

hi
how to install " xi content for mdm " in XI .
does any body know the procedure
cheers
akhil

Hi Akhil,
TPZ files you talking about are related to SAP Systems-MDM integration, i think. They need to deploy on integration engine of XI and require special permissions. Basis Admin of XI server can help you in this regard.
Most of them contains IR(Design Part) objects and after deploying thenm you need to do configuration part.
Ask your Basis Admin of XI to deploy them on XI server.

Importing xml file using standard maps in mdm

Hi Experts,
In a scenario of getting the data from ECC system to the MDM system(using MDM standard business contents and standard Maps), we are two cases.
Case 1 : Using MDM_CLNT_EXTR, we extract the main table records into the standard IDoc structure and sent to PI and PI converts this standard IDoc in to an XML file and sends it to the inbound folder of MDM and from there using the standard map, it is imported into MDM.(most common method of implementation)
Case 2: we are using XML File option in Partner Profile to store the XML file in the Global Directory of ECC system and we are generating XML files using the transactions BD10, BD12 and BD14 for the respective business objects.And then copy these XML files from the Global directory and plae it in the inbound folder of MDM manually.
Now the question is can the xml file in the case 2 be used as a substitute for the xml of case1 and
can we use the same standard map to import the XML file abtained from case2?
Please share your experience to solve this issue.
Thanks and Regards,
Sravan.

Hi Sravan,
this depends on the business content you are using. Some parts of the content use XSLT mappings on PI to change the message content. Please refer to the related SAP content notes for details:
MDM Business Partner Content (SAP Note 1035773)
MDM Customer Content (SAP Note 1252884)
MDM Employee Content (SAP Note 1268212)
MDM Material Content (SAP Note 1255401)
MDM Product Content (SAP Note 1252846)
MDM Vendor Content (SAP Note 1252883)

Importing text file (delimited, fixed width) with MDM Import Manager?

Hello all,
According to the overview section of the import manager reference guide, it is possible to import from delimited text files (e.g. CSV).
But when it comes to the details, text files are not mentioned anymore. I also found no option in the Import Manager.
Could you tell me whether this is possible and - if it is - how?
Thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Dennis

Hi Dennis,
In order to import flat files into MDM do the following. This solution is specific to MS Windows:
I. Set up ODBC for *.txt or *.csv files
1. Open Data Sources (ODBC) interface:
Start> Settings> Control Panel--> Administrative Tools -->Data Sources (ODBC).
2. Select System DSN Tab in Data Sources (ODBC) interface.
3. Click on [Add]. Select the Microsoft Text Driver. Click Finish.
4. Write a Data Source Name
5. Uncheck Use Current Directory to enable the [Select Directory] button.
6. Click on [Select directory] to determine the source directory.
7. Select the source file.
8. Click [OK] and return to the ODBC Text Setup screen.
9. Click [OK].
10. Return to the ODBC Data Source Administrator dialog and click [OK].
II. Importing from Flat file
1. Run MDM Import Manager.
2. Select ODBC from the Type drop-down field of the Connect To Source dialog.
3. Enter the DSN name from the Setup ODBC Connection dialog above.
4. Select the file name with extension (.csv or .txt) in the Tables panel of MDM Import Manager and the file content in the Records panel.
Hope this solved your problem.Please mark helpful answers

Santosh.

How to implement the Tax Data for Material Master IN MDM

Hello Experts,
The MDM 7.1 standard business content does not ship the content required for TAX data implementation. We need to include this however for Material/Vendor/Customer.
We have alraedy tried the approach of a multivalued lookup table for TAX fileds (Plant,Country,Tax Type, Tax Category, Tax Classfn) and linked it to the Sales DAta Qualified Table.
but this does not satisfy the interdependencies of SAP ERP i.e Sales Org-> Distribution Channel-> Plant-> Departure Country-> Tax Type-> Tax classification. We intend to implement this same relation in MDM.
Kindly guide as to what would be the right approach. Can a qulalified lookup for Tax data be helpful for this scenario?
Also can anyone secify the correct table or T-Code where we can find this entire dependency in ECC?
Thanks in advance,
Elizabeth.

Hi Elizabeth, hi Shiv,
as long as you're using MDM for consolidation and harmonization only, you could add the tax information. As for customers (for example), you maintain tax indicators as a child of the sales area. This means for MDM that you need to include the tax indicators in the sales data tuple. As tax indicators are repeatable records, you need to create a nested tuple for that.
But as Shiv has correctly mentioned, the tax information itself is quite complex in regards to which tax information must be maintained depending on e.g. the country and/or sales area. In MDM it is hardly possible to predefine any mandatory values like it is possible in ERP. So if you plan a central creation of data, you'll most probably have to invest a lot into the correct validations to ensure that you create correct data. Still it needs to be closely investigated if you can do this with the MDM functionality or if you need some external API programming to do the job.
Best regards
Michael

Hi all,
Plz let me know , the SAP components required for implemeting SAP SRM MDM , for the following points:
· Internal catalogs hosted and maintained by buyer?
· Internal catalogs that are maintained by vendor (vendor will be using buyer's firewall)?
· External catalogs hosted and maintained by vendor?
Thanks and regards
Harish

Hi Harish,
The SAP components you would be needed are
SAP MDM5.5 or 7.1
- MDM server
- MDIS server
- MDSS server
SAP SRM5.5 or 7.0
SAP SRM-MDM business content
WAS engine typically used for deploying sca files given by SAP for configuring MDM as catalog. Mostly was engine of SRM is used in such case.
If you need an integration with backend system SAP PI will be used.

MDM Architecture: what does RICH content / THIN content refer to

Hi,
When I read through the SAP NetWeaver MDM architecture (major building blocks), I have a question (in order to explain to other audience....):
What does RICH content / Thin content refer to / mean?
Under the thin content, there is Search/View, Data maintanance, OCI. For rich content, there are all mdm clients listed below. I don't know how to explain this diagram because using SAP MDM, it seems there no thin content....the search/view and data maintanance function are realised in MDM data manager. So why is it listed here?
Thanks in advance!
Angela Zhang

As already guessed, it is simply that MDM can be run in a fully administrative environment consisting of the MDM UI clients (i.e. the MDM Data Manager, MDM Console, MDM Import Manager, MDM Syndicator, MDM Publisher), and/or you can run it using SAP NetWeaver Portal (thin client). For portal usage MDM has specific portal content (for example, specific iViews).

Business System not reflecting the XI Content for SRM

Hi,
We are currently working on the SUS-MM scenario.
The landscape includes PI 7.11, SRM 7.0 and R/3 4.6C. SLD Communication is working fine between these systems.
Integration Builder has SRM Server 7.0 and SRM Server IC 7.0 imported.
The current status:
We can successfully transfer vendors from SAP R/3 to SUS
We cannot transfer transaction data from SAP R/3 to SUS, e.g. purchase orders etc
Our Main Issue:
The Business System INTEGRATION_SERVER_<SID> is imported into the Integration Builder from the SLD.
On the Display communication component screen, the receiver and Sender tabs are not showing any of the SRM Server or IC components that have been imported into the ESR. However is displaying only the BASIS components that was imported during inital install.
Because of this, we are not able to proceed with the configuration though the interfaces being available in the ESR. We are not sure what is that we are missing that is preventing the XI content for SRM from being displayed. Also, the PI business system in the SLD has the SRM Content listed under the installed products list.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Venkat.

Hello,
do you have a solution? I'm facing the same issue.

Importing of material master from SAP to MDM

Hi all
we are working for a scenario where we need to import data from SAP R/3 to MDM using IDoc and XI.MDM already provides standard T codes for collective generation of IDocs for vendor and customer master( what i mean is single IDoc is generated for a selection of mastres) but no such option is there for material master.
This means in the READY folder in case of material we will have say 1000s of xml files in case we are importing 1000 records from R3.
What is the way out??It becomes difficult to import all files one by one.What are different options we have?
regards-
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
Go to the transaction MDM_CLNT_EXTR.
Select Extraction Object:MATERIAL_EXTRACT
Give Target sytem ( XI Sytem)(This should create with SALE transactio, ALE IDOC Settings)
Distribution Mode:I
Create a variant for this and save
Come to the same transacction again, select the saved variant.
Press ENTER button
Click 'Start Extraction ' button.
Then this program will send all the material from SAP R/3 system to the target system.
Regards,
Nikhil

Problems with MDM 5.5 SP05 Portal Content - ResultSet iView

Hello Experts,
We are having problems with standard iViews from MDM 5.5, more specific with ResultSet iView. We created an iView using English as default browsers language but our client wanted it in Portuguese, so in the MDM Repository both languages were defined and used in MDM Data Manager, when passed to the Portal iView an error occur, but only in a ResultSet iView from the MDM Portal Content, the others iViews (itemDetails, PicklistSearch, etc...) are shown in Portuguese, and we cannot figure out why it works fine in English and not in Portuguese. We left the default language defined by clients browser. Below Im sending the LOG, which by the way, doesn't help much, but I put it also here. Any ideas of what should I do ?
LOG ERROR:
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: unknown format type at
We are using Portal 7.0 SPS11 and MDM 5.5 SP05 - Portal Content in a Win2003/Oracle server each.

Alex,
sorry to disturb you with this issue, can you explain me basic steps in order to setup standard MDM iviews from the portal?
I mean, I have already installed all standard mdm business content, and also have configured system and aliases in the portal to connect to my mdm repositories. Those system/aliases are working propperly.
But, when I try to preview standard MDM iviews/pages I got several JAVA errors in trace logs.
Specific iviews are: Item Details, Show products, etc..any iview execution fails.
So, am I missing something?, do i have to create a specific user in portal?, assign specifi roles or groups???.
Platform is: nw2004s SR2, SP11, MDM content 5.5
Thank you in advance.
