MDM 2.0 - OCI mapping of field "Price Information"

Question

Hi SDN,
we are on SRM 5.0.
we are setting up MDM 2.0. We do a new installation, although we were already on MDM 1.0. Anyway, we want to keep the repository from MDM 1.0.
Right now we have problems transferring the price of shopping cart positions from the MDM Web Search UI  to EBP.
what we did so far:
1. set up j2ee server and oracle
2. set up MDM 2.0 Server
3. Deploy MDM 2.0 SP 2.0 Java API and UI stuff to j2ee
4. set MDM 1.0 Repository in the appropriate place in the file system of MDM Server and unarchived it in the MDM console
5. run repository upgrade using link from upgrade guide (http://<j2eeserver>:50000/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tcmdmsrmcat~uiutil/Utilities)
6. upgrade configuration (same link as before, but step 2)
still, in the OCI Mapping for price, I still have "price - amount" mapped on NEW_ITEM-PRICE
and still, the price, which I can see in the search UI, is not being transferred to EBP...
I am not sure, if I have to have "Price Information - amount" available as OCI mapping field. Right now, this is NOT the case. In MDM 1.0 it used to work fine with "Price - amount"
In my repository in table cataloge items I have the field "Price Information" which is a qualified lookup table, based on look up table "Price". "Price" contains the field amount, which carries the price value.
any clues welcome - regards, Matthias

Answer 1

Hi Masa,
just another brief status Q:
Now I am able to receive the price in EBP.
But this is a workaround. Just for a test I did a new OCI mapping like this:
I leave the OCI field NEW_ITEM-PRICE blank and use instead
NEW_ITEM-CUST_FIELD4 --> mapped on --> Price Information - Amount.
Thus I am able to get the value of the price field in my BADI bbp_catalog_transfer.
There seems to be a mismatch of field types. In the MDM Console the amount field is of type 'currency' - I assume this is decimal in fact.
In my incoming structure in the BADI I have tabletype catalog_content which is based on structure BBP_WS_OCI_ITEM_S which carries field price of type DEC...  seems reasonable to me - but in the debugger I can't see the incoming price value. Instead now I use BBP_WS_OCI_ITEM_S-CUST_FIELD4 which is of type CHAR20. This works! I regard this as a workaround and I am still researching to get the price field mapped correctly to the proper price field in my BADI.
Masi: Concerning your weblog and SLG1 and Errorlog BTC1...
I set up in SPRO the MDM Catalog and also checked "use error log" for the catalog - still
I wonder how I can access this log and esp the OCI fields -- can you guide me there?
I was clicking through the entries of SLG1 but don't get to see the OCI fields of the transfer, though an entry which is because of the data transfer from mdm towards EBP.
kind regards, matthias
btw: SDN was down, hence the delayed response
