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

Automap Unmapped Value=True

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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Issues with import server : MDIS stops automatically

    Hello Experts,
    We are facing a critical issue, our MDIS server gets stopped automatically. Evan after restarting along with DB, the issue is not solved. We thought it might be some memory issues, but it is not, we cleared the old files from archive folder and from logs also, still when we start the MDIS it gets stopped in few minutes, we are not able to solve the issue,.. Have any one faced similar issue or clue or any guess how this can be sorted out?
    Thanks
    Vinoth

    hi Vinothkumar
    the MDIS is stopped with the MDS stopping or only the MDIS is stopped.
    1.when the MDIS is stopped,what operations do you perform,and please check the MDIS log as well as the MDS log.
    2.also,check the MDIS ini and MDS ini parameters,make sure they are configured properly.
    3.clear up your port files,including the ready,exception and archive folders.then try to restart your MDS,MDIS,MDSS.
    please get the results for further analysis.
    best regards

  • 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.

  • 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.

    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

  • Strange Errors from Import Server on Schema-based maps for repeating nodes

    I have already posted one thread about this, but perhaps some more in-depth information is required:
    We have uploaded our schema into the console, and have mapped the following multi-node file to it:
    CUSTOMER <repeating node>
      MDM_CUST (new Customer number returned)
      CUSTOMER(mapped back from XI for RECORD MATCHING)
      CREATE_DATE (text field)
      CONTACT<repeating node>
        CONTACT_NO (RECORD MATCHING : NON-QUALIFIER)
        CONTACT_SAP_NO (QUALIFIER)
         [NOTE: There are other qualifers for CONTACT, but only this one
    qualifier is being returned and is the only field that would and should be updated.
    The other fields should be left alone. However, it appears to overwrite EVERYthing
    with NULL other than these two fields. The CONTACT_NO is the sole qualifer on
    the table. It is a calculated field that equals the Auto-ID that is also produced on
    the table - but obviously not mapped.]
      PARTNER<repeating node>
        CUSTOMER_NO (RECORD MATCHING : NON-QUALIFER)
        PARTNER_FUNC (NON-QUALIFIER - Code given to lookup from PARTNER_FUNCTION table which has Code and Desc)
        PARTNER_NO     (NON-QUALIFIER)
        DEFAULT_PARTNER_FLAG (QUALIFIER)
    <CLOSE CUSTOMER NODE>
    In the Customer main table, all records are matched on CUSTOMER. The CONTACT_NO non-qualifer is matched to the CONTACT qualified lookup table directly since it is the only available non-qualifier. For the PARTNER table, the three qualifiers are mapped and then a compound field is created to map to the PARTNER table entry.
    We have the Configurations set at:
    Default Multi-Valued Update: Replace
    Default Qualified Update: Replace
    Default Matching Qualifiers: None
    Our record matching is: Create / Update(ALL MAPPED FIELDS) / Update(ALL MAPPED FIELDS)
    When the map is reused, the repeating nodes are all recognized, be it one node or many. However, when the map is reused, it does not automatically map the values for many of the Partner fields (nor the compound field) though the fields are correctly mapped.
    Also, when we attempt to use Import Server to automate the mapping, we use the mdis.ini set to
    Automap Unmapped Value=True
    Unmapped Value Handling=Add
    Always Use Unmapped Value Handling=False
    We get a very strange error saying that :
    [code]Encountered a pre-SP4 map. The map needs to be upgraded to SP4.
    Solution: Please, Launch the Import Manager GUI using the same source file and simply save the map.[code]
    Could it be that our MDM 5.5 SP4 is not compatible with schemas generated with XI v.7 SP9?
    All of our MDM is 5.5 SP4. It makes no sense that we would get THIS kind of error. Also, I am questioning our combination of these and other configurations since it doesn't always seem to do what it should

    Hi Donald,
    this sounds good so far. Just a short hint: you've set "Default Qualified Update: Replace". This explains why Import server "appears to overwrite EVERYthing
    with NULL other than these two fields.". The reason is the replace. A replace means that the old values are completely deleted and only the new incoming ones are stored. I'd suggest to use any of the Update possibilities.
    Note: the definitions you set in in the record matching step are mainly for the new records in the main table! Records in qualified look ups are handled differently! If you open your map in Import Manager, switch to tab "Map Fields/Values". Select a field that is your non qualifier. Right-Click on it and choose "Set qualified update" from the context menu. Now you can define which qualifiers can be used for the qualified look up matching. And you can define as well what should happen with new and/or existing records.
    Regarding the value mapping: do you use keymapping? Or do you use simple values only? Do you save the map everytime you add a new value mapping?
    Regarding the issue "Encountered a pre-SP4 map. The map needs to be upgraded to SP4. Solution: Please, Launch the Import Manager GUI using the same source file and simply save the map". This sounds very likely like a bug in MDIS and should be reported to SAP!
    Hope that helps

  • Can we remove timestamp which is added infront of the file name, in archive

    Can we remove timestamp which is added infront of the file name of datafile which was imported succesfully , in archive folder, i have a requriment to move file from archive folder  to another folder, but programmer is finding diffficulty in moving the file which has time stamp, he can move file with date stamp, but not able to move file which has time stamp, is there is any option in MDIS.Ini file or anywhere in import manager or console to modify the file names , or remove timestamp when file is moved in archive folder.
    does anyone faced similar issue, require help.........

    Hi,
    Moving file from Ready directory to Archive directory is MDM internal process and I strongly feel it is not possible to control the naming convention of File to be placed in Archive directory.
    But you can explain what problem you developer is facing while moving file from Archive directory to some other directory..then we can think about solution to acheive this. Also on which operating system you MDM server is installed.

  • Import Server not picking up the file

    Hello,
    I have 2 repositories running on the same server. Import server picks up file for one repository, but not for the other. What could be the reason? Also, for the repository, import server not picking up the file, workflow also does not send an email notification.
    Please help
    Subhash

    Hi Subhash,
    Hope you are not using the same Import Server for both the MDM Servers. If yes then you need to mention the MDM Sevrer name in the MDM Server parameter of MDIS.ini. Check the parameter list of MDIS.ini file.
    If your repository has password for Admin user then you need to specify the same in MDIS.ini file under your repository section for User = Admin and Passowrd = [Admin password]. Remove the E from the PAsswordE and give the password for Admin user. Once done restart the Import Server and check again, parameter Password would have converted to PasswordE.
    For Email Notification two things you need to check:
    1. You should have specified the mail server address in MDS.ini file under your repository section for parameter Mail Server.
    2. Workflow owner should have entry in Email address field of the user. Check this in Console under Admin -> Users.

    Hi Aklilu,
    the names of the XML files don't matter. MDIS tries to process everthing that is put into the ready folder. The ready folder is processed in a "first comes, first served" way. So there's no need to change the names. Is the time stamp in the file name really a problem? If yes, why?

  • Port sequence and file processing in SAP MDM

    Hi All,
    Can any one let me know how port sequence mechanism works in MDM 7.1? As per my understanding in SAP MDM no one files from different ports are processed simultaniously...Suppose if you have three different ports A,B,C and the scenairo is as below:
    SAP PI sends 2 files to A port and then sends 2 more files to B port and then sends 1 file to C port....All these files are not send simultaniously.
    Thanks
    Rajeev

    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm550/helpdata/en/43/120367f94c3e92e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm
    Once started, MDIS scans inbound ports in the order set by the Sequence column in the Ports pane of the MDM Console. When it finds a port containing an import file, it uses the portu2019s associated import map to process the file.
    The sequence in which MDIS processes ports is not affected by a portu2019s remote system.
    MDIS processes all files in a portu2019s Ready folder before scanning the next port in the sequence.
    When more than one import file is present in the folder, MDIS processes the files in a FIFO (first in, first out) order, meaning the oldest file in the port is processed first, then the next oldest, and so on.
    Under certain circumstances, MDIS will skip over a port and not process any import files it may contain. These circumstances include the following:
    ·        Port is set up for manual processing instead of automatic.
    ·        Port is blocked due to a structural exception.
    ·        Port is connected to an Import Manager or other MDIS.
    Once all ports on the MDM Server have been scanned, MDIS waits the number of seconds specified in the Interval property of the mdis.ini file before restarting the sequence (for more information, see MDIS Configuration).
    Thanks,
    Shambhu.
