MDM 5.5 SP05 - Failure to unarchive standard Repositories

Hi,
We have recently upgraded to 5.5 SP05, I now experience failures when trying to unarchive any of the 55510_ or 55520_ Repositories, although with the 55410_, 55420_ and 55430_ Repositories there are no problems.
These are the last few lines of one error log:
<Trace ts="2007/09/07 09:01:27.145 GMT" tid="3085" entry-no="13128"><LF/> Table 210 MaterialsV51_m000-A2i_Data_87:</Trace>

Any help much appreciated.
Kind regards

Hi Kevan,
This behavior occurs when Unarchiving to Oracle or DB2. The standard repository
was created on SQL Server and uses some very long Japanese and Korean strings.
These character sets expand greatly in Oracle and DB2 and exceed the storage
allotted. A work-around for this problem is available in 5.5 SP05 Patch02.
Please read the release notes for placing
Increase TextStart Storage=true
into the mds.ini file.
I think this will fix the problem, however, you may have found a new bug.
Hope this helps.

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.

How to create a taxonomy using MDM 5.5 SP05 JAVA API?

Hi ALL,
I have a requirement in which i have to create a taxonomy using MDM 5.5 SP05 JAVA API.
Can anyone tell me how that functionality can be achieved?
Thanks in Advance.
Rajat.

HI, Rajat.
For exposing hierarchy in WD view you need to use node with recursive children in the context and Tree/TreeNodeType UI elements in view layout.
For load hierarchy records you have to use RetrieveLimitedHierTreeCommand. You can load whole hierarchy (as I know, SP05 API have a bug - only first 1000 record can be loaded) or load hierarchy nodes on demand (using OnLoadChildren action of TreeNodeType element).
Refer to this example of loading child records:
// Context structure:
// Tree (model node, model class built from com.sap.mdm.data.Record interface)
// |-- Children (recursive child node repeating Tree node)
// |-- DisplayValue (string value attribute, TreeNodeType's text property bound here)
// |-- HasChildren (boolean value attribute, TreeNodeType's hasChildren property bound here)
// parentElem is element of node Tree or Children for which we must load child records, null for first level of hierarchy
private void fillNodeWithChildren(IPrivateHierarchySelectView.ITreeElement parentElem) {
 // Determining RecordId of parent record and context node to which child records belong
 RecordId parentRecordId = null;
 if (parentElem != null) parentRecordId = parentElem.modelObject().getId();
 IPrivateHierarchySelectView.ITreeNode parentNode =
 parentElem == null
 ? wdContext.nodeTree()
 : parentElem.nodeChildren();
 // Loading children with RetrieveLimitedHierTreeCommand
 try {
 RetrieveLimitedHierTreeCommand retTreeCmd = new RetrieveLimitedHierTreeCommand(...); // use suitable constructor
 if (parentRecordId != null) retTreeCmd.setRootNode(parentRecordId);
 retTreeCmd.setResultDefinition(...); // don't forget set ResultDefinition
 retTreeCmd.execute();
 HierNode subRoot = retTreeCmd.getTree()
 parentNode.invalidate();
 // Processing loaded child records - add elements into parentNode
 if (subRoot == null) return;
 IPrivateHierarchySelectView.ITreeElement childElem;
 HierNode childRecord;
 HierNode[] children = subRoot.getChildren();
 int count = children == null ? 0 : children.length;
 for (int i = 0; i < count; i++) {
 childRecord = children;
 childElem = parentNode.createTreeElement(childRecord);
 childElem.setDisplayValue(childRecord.getDisplayValue());
 childElem.setHasChildren(!childRecord.isLeaf());
 parentNode.addElement(childElem);
 if (parentElem != null) parentElem.setHasChildren(count > 0);
 } catch (/* Some MDM Exceptions */) {}
Don't forget call fillNodeWithChildren(null) in wdDoInit for load first level of hierarchy.

MDM 7.1 SP05

Hi Guys,
I have a few questions about new version of MDM 7.1:
1) What does the new WF step "Wait" does ??
2) Is it possible to configure the matching scope in the Match Web Dynpro UI with MDM 7.1 SP05 ?
3) Will there be just one step for enrichment WF with SP05 and not the two process steps together as we have till SP04?
4) Any plans to make MDM WF more flexible, as in integration with the Org hierachies or dynamic approvals ?
Best Regards,
Dheeraj

Hi Dheeraj,
1) What does the new WF step "Wait" does ??
The records coming from syndication or import and one of the record field contains the date that a Wait step should wait for. The dates may be different for different records. When the user moves the workflow job to a Wait step, the user can choose a date at run time. For more details Please refer SAP Note: 1329424
Also refer this thread for more understanding, Re: Delay step in MDM Workflow
2) Is it possible to configure the matching scope in the Match Web Dynpro UI with MDM 7.1 SP05 ?
I think yes, Please refer below link for more details :

Complete Guide: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmdm71/helpdata/en/4b/f48066166e043ae10000000a42189b/frameset.htm
3) Will there be just one step for enrichment WF with SP05 and not the two process steps together as we have till SP04?
As of MDM 7.1 SP05 Yes, it is there Now you can use only one step that replaces the trigger and wait steps. For more details, Please refer, http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmdm71/helpdata/en/44/bedae9317456a3e10000000a1553f6/content.htm
4) Any plans to make MDM WF more flexible, as in integration with the Org hierachies or dynamic approvals ?
I think for Dynamic Approvals as of MDM 7.1 SP05 it is not there, can hope in future releases
With MDM 7.1 SP05, In MDM Workflow: Enhanced: Added new EC Service workflow step for use with MDM Enrichment Controller to enable the user to specify and maintain the EC related settings directly as part of the step definition.
For more details, Please refer SAP Note: 1422355 - SAP NetWeaver MDM 7.1 SP05 Release, 1st pt under MDM workflow

Integrate EP 5.5 with MDM Standard Repositories

Hi everyone,
Does Anyone experienced the EP integration with MDM Standard Repositories. If yes. Please share your experiences here. I am trying to do the same.
Thanks
Veera

hello sir,
These are the common question come to your mind when you dealing with repositories.
1. Will there be separate repositories for IT
scenarios, GDS & Catalog publishing?
2. How data is harmonized in SAP MDM 5.5? What is the
difference between Syndicator, GDS & SCM?
> As far as my knowledge goes there is no separate
> repository for IT scenarios, GDS and catalog
> publishing. GDS stores the trade item data in MDM
> repository iteself.
Though GDS is an application built upon MDM platform and uses hence its repository this repository can not be used for other purposes than GDS. In other words, this is a private GDS repository and if you want to leverage product data for other purposes you have to build another MDM repository.
In regards to IT scenarios it actually depends on your business scenarios. It may be one repository used for harmonization and central data management or two different. Anyway it's one repository per object family (Customers, Products, Employees and so on
Hope IT Helps...!!
Thanks

MDM 5.5 SP05 JAVA API

Heii All,
As per If we use Java API from MDM 5.5 SP04. We will not be able to find any classes that will retrieve image and pdf data. The old API was able to do this, In API of SP05 version we can make it, but does SP04 version have any classes that will retrieve this data?
Please help me out.
Thanks
-KT

Heii,
As per my knowledge The SP 05 version of MDM Java API has a RetrieveBlobCommand command. As per I know this command was only added in SP 05 and does not exist in SP04.
This will help you.Please Reward Full if you find it useful.

Hi ,
   I found a document which says that MDM4J is the legacy API and is considered deprecated .The MDM Java API is the new one .I have both of them in the java build path . I am not sure if this is that cause of the problem .
Now I had a look at the javadoc for the new API but I am not able to locate the class to obtain a connection to the MDM server from a custom application being built in Netweaver Developer Studio . Can someone help me out with the same ?What would be the code to obtain the connection to the MDM server with the new JAVA API ?

MDM 3.0: error when deleting a Standard Address

Hi,
when loading delections in MDM 3.0, the function module BUPA_ADDRESS_REMOVE can't delete addresses if in the table BUT021_FS the field XDFADU is = 'X'.
This means that I can't delete a Standard Address.
Do you know how can I by-pass this problem?
I need to delete those addresses.
Thanks in advance.
Fabrizio Rubino

Hi Fabrizio,
first of all this is a correct behaviour of the SAP Business Partner (BP). The address handling is designed in a way, that you cannot delete a default address if a BP already had one. The question is what do you want to do with the addresses? Do you want to delete all addresses of a BP? Then the answer is that this is not possible (at least it is not possible without modifying SAP code). If you want to replace the standard address, the sollution is to import the new standard address first, change the "is standard address" flag and then delete the old one.
Kind regards
Michael

MDM 5.5 SP05 installation - Anyone installed it on SUSE Linux?

In accordance to my previous post, I will give the whole story of my installation in order to make it clear.
It is about a test server , running Linux SUSE LES 9.3. We want to install on it MDM5.5 (without NetWeaver -stand alone installation) and ORACLE 10g database.
So I started with the ORACLE 10.2 installation which went fine.
Now I am in the process of installing the MDM 5.5 on the same Linux server.
The installation guide is very poor regarding instructions for Linux like systems:
Extract the MDM Server, Import Server, and Syndication Server files from the archives with the
following name structure:
<server>.<incremental version>.<rebuild version>-<platform>-<compiler>.tar.<archive extension>
2. Place the server files in the root directory under /opt.
We recommend to place and install all servers (MDS, MDIS, MDSS) in the same folder, for
example /opt/MDM/bin.
3. Install each server folder by executing tar -xvf <server file>.
4. Delete the server archives and files.
Launching the Servers
1. Define a user account named mdm to run the MDM Servers on.
A process may not allocate more memory than the value of the ulimit -d command. So set
this value as large as possible for the mdm user. On some Unix-based OS, unlimited is
default, but on others, the kernel imposes a maximum value. Check your system carefully to
determine the optimum setting.
For AIX 64bit, we recommend adding ulimit -d unlimited to the user profile of mdm.
2. Log in as the mdm user.
3. In the mdm account's home directory (or a subdirectory), set up execution directories for the servers.
The execution directories will contain various runtime files (for example, nohup.out for error
messages) that are created and used by the MDM server software. Normally these directories do not
require any manual intervention.
We strongly recommend to set up an execution folder structure similar to the following example
to run each server process in its dedicated folder:
~mdm/mdm/mds
/mdis
/mdss
This ensures that the runtime files of the different servers are clearly separated.
Ensure that you make the dedicated execution directory the current one before launching one of
the servers. Use pushd to set the execution directory each time you run one of the servers.
4. Launch each server (MDM Server, Import Server, and Syndication Server) from the mdm user
account by executing mds, mdis, or mdss from within the server's dedicated execution directory.
Do not run mds, mdis,or mdss from the installation directory or any subdirectory (this is the directory defined in the MDM_HOME variable).
So I have followed all these instructions but I am not sure what does it mean to "set execution directory"!!! My MDM home is /opt/MDM/bin under binI have mds,mdis and mdss with the respective scripts. I run them to launch the servers and I get the error:
mdm@mucsapt2:/opt/MDM/bin> ./mds-r
./mds-r: error while loading shared libraries: libxerces-c.so.26: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
The libraries are there under /opt/MDM/liband with the right access rights.
The document says to run the mds-r from the execution path which should be under /home/mdm. Does it mean that I have to copy all the scripts there? It is not clear at all.
I am surprised, such a big forum and nobody had faced this issue. Is there anybody who did the installation on Linux? From what I see there are not too many questions for the installation itself. Was it so straight forward for all you?
Thanks in advance,
Loukas

Unsupported Linux version should not make a major difference in this case...
This happens because your system runs out of swap space necessary for installer to fork and exec external process which configures the domain. Solution is to increase the amount of swap space available to installer - on Solaris this is usually done by cleaning up any unnecessary content from /tmp partition and shuting down non-essential processes prior to reinstalling. I suppose the same steps would help on Linux.
Before reinstallation you should also use provided uninstaller to cleanup this failed installation if you intend to install in the same location.

How to Introduce Client System in Standard Repositories

Hi People
I am facing a problem to know how to add my client system in "VendorDemo" repository which is given as standard Repository by SAP MDM 5.5 SP2.
Is this not available in Demo system are is there any other method to add it ?
Veera

Hi Veera,
as to my knowledge, there are no restrictions regarding the number of client systems for the demo repositories. But in order to add a new client system [or edit an existing one] you have to unload the rep. first, then the context menu 'add cient system' is active. create your client system and load the repository again. There's no possibility whatsoever to create/edit client systems for a running rep.
Good luck!
Cheers,
martin
