MDIS.ini : no repository entries

Dear All
The MDM server is running on UNIX. MDIS is on the same server as MDS.
When i checked the MDIS.ini there are no repsoitory entries in it.(I have 3 repos with remote systems and ports configured)
Initially the server name was mentioned incorrectly in the MDIS.ini. I changed it (<sever name>:59750) and restarted the MDIS.
Shouldnt the repository entries appear automatically in MDIS.ini when the repositories are created?
Files are not getting picked up from the Reday folder. Port is in status "Has data".
But there is no files in the Status, log or exception folders.
However the log files in MDIS is having the error:
Connection to MDS server failed with error: The function ID returned did not match the expected function ID
What am i missing?
Regards
Deepika

Hi SwarnaDeepika,
Yes parameters should appear automatically after restart.
Please recheck the passwords of MDIS from console level.
There is a good blog by Shambhunath here,this should be of help to you

Hi Aklilu,
just a copy & paste of my reply in the other thread
> We are trying to parameter the mdis.ini and until now it does not work.
Could you specify this? In addition, I've got a few hints:
MDIS has to have the same build version as the MDM Server. In addition, MDIS has to be running (in Windows, you can check this in the Services Screen). Furthermore you should have a look at the Console's port definition (select your repository, go to Admin -> Ports in the menu tree). The port has to be configured correctly (XML Scheme, which map to be used, and so on). Very important: you have to set the port to automatic processing.
Here's a sample for the MDIS.ini:
[GLOBAL]
Version=5540
Server=WDFD00146633A
Interval=30
Automap Unmapped Value=True
Unmapped Value Handling=Add
Always Use Unmapped Value Handling=False
VXR_MAX=25000

Using the Verbose parameter you can define which errors, issues, messages and so on should be written into the MDIS log. You can find the logs directly in the port's log folder and in the log folder of your MDIS installation directory. If MDIS is not working or the import fails, these files contain some helpful information.
Kind regards
Michael

Mdis.ini file?

Hi Friends,
I am looking for the mdis.ini and importmanagerbatch.exe files.I couldnt trace those files. I want to run the batch job.
Please guide me
regards
Shankar

Hi Shankar,
To run batch job you will have to first install the batch clients (ImportmanagerBatch and SyndicatorBatch). Download these file and install them onto your machine.
Once you install Importmanager Batch , it will create following directory structure:
C:\Program Files\SAP MDM 5.5\Importmanger Batch\ImportmanagerBatch.exe
Now you will have to configure the "mdis.ini" file as in you need to populate few of the parameters. e.g. Map Name . Server Name (IP / Host name),Repository Name , Port number.
You are now ready to run the batch job. Just create a batch file and type in ImportmanagerBatch command and execute it.
Regards,
Amol.

Mail server parameters in MDIS.ini

Hi Guru's,
To get mails through workflow..Can anybody tell me where in MDIS .Ini file do i maintain Mail server parameters...?
I mean do i need to put
Mail server parmeter:-................
OR
Just key in Mail server parameters any where in mdis.ini file...
Regards
Vikrant M Kelkar

Hi Vikrant,
As far as I know,the Mdis.ini file is the system configuration file that determines the settings to be done for enabling automatic Importing the parameters to be set in the mdis are:
[Global]
Version
Server
Interval
Verbose1
Log Dir
SLD Registration
[Repository_Name]
Chunk Size2
No. Of Chunks Processed In Parallel1
Login
Password
PasswordE
Log Protocol Transactions
Inter-Chunk Delay MS3
There is no option to set the mail server details here.
However in the Mds.ini file we have:
Mail server:
Mail SMTP time out:
These parameters will enable the mail settings for sending mail through MDM.
I may be wrong, but this is what the sap guide talks about and also the blog speaks about the settings required in the mds.ini file
If theres somthing different you've done, we can discuss it futher
Hope It Helped
Thanks & Regards

After unarchive a repository, the auto import is not working

Hi All,
I've met a problem when I archived a repository and unarchive it using another repository name:
I can login to it by Console, and Data manager, etc. But when I put a input file to the Ready folder of its port, the file is not processed by the Import Server. On the other hand, all the other repositories on that server remain fine and the auto-import is normal.
Could any one tell me if there is any other Config shold be done to make the import work?
PS: still the 5.5 version, not 7.1.
Thanks,
Angela

Edited by: Angela Zhang on Aug 6, 2009 9:09 AM

Hi Angela,
If you are using any password for Admin user then same needs to be mentioned in MDIS.ini file. Check the below steps
1. Open MDIS.ini file located in <MDM Insallation directory>/Import Server
2. Navigate to your repository section
3. Remove the character 'E' from the entry PasswordE
4. Write the password of Admin user i.e. Password = abc
5. Restart the Import Server once and check the same password entry, it should get converted to PasswordE and the value should be some characters.
6. Now check the Auto Import

One MDIS for several MDS

Hello,
Is it possible to use one MDIS for several MDSs?
For example, configure mdis.ini in the following way:
[GLOBAL]
String Resource Dir=E:\PROGRA2\SAPMDM1.5\IMPORT~1\LangStrings\
Log Dir=E:\PROGRA2\SAPMDM1.5\IMPORT~1\Logs\
Server=MDS1,MDS2,MDS3
Best regards,
Dale

Hi Dale,
This is indeed a good question and i tried this as well but it is not possible to use more then one MDM Server with one Import Server. When you make the entry in MDIS.ini against the server attribute, it treats that as a single string hence if you specify more than one server name it will not recognize even the single.
Hope it helps.

Import Server fails to import if repository has password

Hi,
I am using MDM SP05 Patch2 on Windows Server.
I added a login password to my repository. Now what happens is the import server fails to import files for that repository giving the error :
"<i>[MDS=MDM Repos=Repo]: CatMgrClientWorker.Connect() failed. RC: 0xffaa0200 Invalid logon credentials</i>"
After changing the password, i restarted MDM Server and Import Server both.
But if i remove the password from my repository, the import runs successfully.
Someone pls suggest.
Regards,
Chintan

Hi Danish,
The process of changing the password in .ini files works till MDM 5.5 version.
From MDM 7.1 version, the password Must be Changed only at the Auxilliary level. Changing it in the .ini file directly will have no effect.
In MDM 7.1, configuration of some repository-specific MDIS/MDSS parameters moved from the repository sections of mdis.ini/mdss.ini to a new MDIS/MDSS-specific Repository Detail pane in MDM Console.
When you connect to the Auxilliary servers, you fill find both the configurations for MDIS and MDSS:
User: The user name MDSS uses to access the MDM repository.
Password: The password MDSS uses to access the MDM repository.
Use the same password that you have assigned to Admin in the Console.
You can refer to the Console Reference guide : page number 263.
If you have already done this, can you please check the log file and let us know if you find anything.
Thanks,
Priti

Upgrade related query- Repository Update

Hi All,
As mentioned in the upgrade guide :
After installation of MDM 7.1 and having started the MDM 7.1 Server use the MDM Console to update
your repositories. Choose Update Repository from the context menu of each repository. The MDM Console then updates
the repository so that it can be used with the latest builds. The data in the repository is automatically
upgraded.
But, i did the same thing but in my case after un-archiving the repository and login in with respective correct repository credentials,Right clicking on repository the option "Update Repository" is not active ...How will i do this action ?how do i update the repository now ?
( I have tried by Loading & Unloading also )
Please suggest !

MDIS don't import automatically

Hi to all.
i want to automate import to the MDM Repository via XML files
i have some XML files and XML Schema
there are my steps:
-at first i've created map between XML Schema and table from MDM Repository [Here my mapping|http://www.imgstore.ru/files/8kBOJDlUMcMRUC871IWAd0lntlgXwJ2lHyJYmT5L.png]
-after that i've matched that at [next sheet of the Import Server|http://www.imgstore.ru/files/C1tZVBiFWDmLnOsCAAjbnevNzz9IVqpDGCrTj6za.png] and set Default Import Action
-after that i've saved map [here is status sheet|http://www.imgstore.ru/files/u5s1d2cdE9t6KRS0RmoBT13k8U60TCoXcu6iQhgO.png]
then i go to MDM Console and configured [Port for Import|http://www.imgstore.ru/files/XCCsDIel40WDDjKqBT94YCoY47vSbK04N12mJjwu.png]
after all i put at port folder one XML file (U can check it at Port Status - Has Data )
MDIS is running and in mdis.ini there is Interval=15 but he didn't import automatically
if i Connect MDM Import Manager to Port and press Execute everything imported right and XML file moved from Ready to Archive folder.
Did smb faced with such problem?
May be i forget smth in map?
Thx in advance.

Hi Mike,
Is the MDM import Server service started?
If it is not then just start the service for import server via Administrative tool.
then import server automatically pich up the file from the ready folder of the inbound port.
Hope this will help you.

Saurabh..

Sequence of files for MDIS

Hi,
We have thrown lots of XML files over last couple of days every 10 mins or so. So, while MDIS takes time to process these files, there are around 50-100 files getting built up for import.
One thing we have observed is that MDIS is picking up files arbitrarily from this backlog instead of following a pattern like taking timestamp or filename into account. Do you think MDIS follows some mechanism to import files or does it import files randomly?
Regards,
Dev.

Hi Dev,
Import frequency can be set in MDIS.ini as below:
1.At server level :
Import frequency set in field Import 'Interval' in secs .
'Num of chunks processed in parallel ' indicates the chunks that have to get processed at a time
2.Repository level:
Number of records to be processed at a time - Chunk size
Number of chunks processed in parallel - Generally set between 5 to 9
Auto Import of bulk records can be controlled using these parameters.

Vinay

Store documents in 3rd party repository

Hello. Is anyone familiar w/ storing documents (text, pdf, etc.) in a Filenet repository? Currently we have users storing docs in the ecc database (oracle). Since our company already has Filenet for other (non-SAP) document management I thought I could somehow configure SAP to store the docs/images there. I see Filenet has some connector product (one for imaging and one for documents) so does that mean I cannot do myself? That I need a license (and extra cost) for the Filenet connector? Was hoping I could do something without a 3rd party product? Any info on how to get started configuring (or even get started with a DMS ) would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance and have a nice day.

I have created a new Repository entry ZDMS and a new entry in tcode OACT... i am still getting an error...
here is the error
Input values must be defined in Table TOAOM. The value or values 'ZED ' are not specified in this table.
When the users are in the CV01N transaction they type a new name for the document and then the document type in ZED is chosen in the pull down.
I am familiar with the data in TOAOM for archivelink... I create an OAC0 entry and then an OAC2 entry and then update the OAC3 entry (which is the TOAOM data).... I am not sure which SAP_OBJECT and AR_OBJECT is being used in the CV01N transaction.
In OAC2 I can create ZED if needed with the document class *dwg?
where is documentation to explain the other steps needed?
thanks for your time.

[Solved] pacman -Syyu sync's repository and then repoistory.db

For instance I run 'pacman -Syyu' and it will then sync core, core.db, extra, etra.db and so on a so forth for all the repo's in my pacman.conf. It did not sync the .db on my last install which was up to date unitl I just did a fresh install using the archboot iso. I looked through the pacman.conf a few times and did not see anything obvious wrong to me. <-- not saying much
I searched this section of the forum going back about 2 months figuring it has to do with signatures and found nothing. So i believe it means that either a) my last setup was incorrect. b) My searching skills are lacking.
If this is normal that is fine, it doesn't bother me, was just curous about it.
Cheers.
