JAVA API AND ABAP API SIMPLE SCENARIO

Question

Hello MDM gurus
I have never used any Java API or ABAP API to leverage and present MDM functionalities on front end systems like portal,etc...
Could you please give me all the required to play around with JAVA api and ABAP api's.
Points will be given to every valuable answer.
Thanks

Hi Nazeer,
In order to use Portal you need Java APIs and to start with refer the MDM Java docs to get the basic idea of various classes and methods to be used in developing the simple java application and access it using portal.

Sample code for Duplicating Repository
public class TestDuplicateRepository
           public static ConnectionPool simpleConnection;
           public static RepositoryIdentifier repIdentifier,repIdentifier1;
     public static String session;
     public static String connection = "MDMServer_Test";
     public static String repository1 = "Test_Repository";
     public static String repository2 = "Test_Duplicate";
          public static DBMSType dbmsType = DBMSType.MS_SQL;
     public static void main(String[] args)throws CommandException, ConnectionException
               //Creating Connection.
               simpleConnection = ConnectionPoolFactory.getInstance(connection);     
               //Establishing connection with Repository.
               repIdentifier = new RepositoryIdentifier(repository1, connection, dbmsType);
               repIdentifier1 = new RepositoryIdentifier(repository2, connection, dbmsType);
               //Creation Sever Session.
               CreateServerSessionCommand createServerSessionCmd = new CreateServerSessionCommand(simpleConnection);
               createServerSessionCmd.execute();
               session = createServerSessionCmd.getSession();
               //Authenticating Server Session.                    
               AuthenticateServerSessionCommand auth= new AuthenticateServerSessionCommand(simpleConnection);
               auth.setSession(session);
               auth.setUserName("Admin");
               auth.setUserPassword("Admin");
               auth.execute();
               session = auth.getSession();     
               //Duplicate Repository Command
               DuplicateRepositoryCommand duplRepCmd = new DuplicateRepositoryCommand(simpleConnection);
               duplRepCmd.setDBMSUserName("sa");
               duplRepCmd.setDBMSUserPassword("abc");
               duplRepCmd.setSession(session);
               duplRepCmd.setSourceRepositoryIdentifier(repIdentifier);
               duplRepCmd.setTargetRepositoryIdentifier(repIdentifier1);
               duplRepCmd.execute();
Similarly you can try with Getting server version, Archive repository and then move on to adding,modifying records etc.
