MDM 5.5 SP2 - Scenario Process guide Issue

Hi,
The scenario process guide on SP2 specifies a transaction MDM_CLNT_EXTR. I checked in my R/3 4.7 system and could n't find this transaction. Can anybody give me more info on this?
Regards,
RK

Hi RK,
the transaction MDM_CLNT_EXTR is part of an R/3 plug-in (PI). This info is contained in the introduction of the MDM 5.5 SP02 Configuration Guide.
Details on the needed PI versions for ERP and R/3 releases can be found in SAP Note 836985.

Problem with XML import MDM 7.1 SP2 u2013 XSD.exe Issue

We are upgrading MDM from 5.5 SP6 to 7.1 and currently we are in SP2 but will be upgrading to SP4 soon.
After upgrading to MDM 7.1 SP2, when we use the import Manager and try to import the XML file we got the following error message Can't open C:/Program files/SAP MDM 7.1/Import Manager/XSD.exe.
My question is this error is only with MDM 7.1 SP2?. In few days we will be upgrading to SP4. In SP4, this issue is still there?. If Yes, How to resolve this problem?.
Anyone can send me the XSD.exe file ?

Hi Lamp,
According to the SAP Note: 1331426 - missing xsd.exe File, the error occurs due to missing xsd.exe file in the import manager executable.
This file doesn't come with the installation files and is part of the Microsoft .NET Framework SDK (Software Development Kit) 2.0, which can be downloaded from the download center of the Micrsosoft website.
Steps:
1. The xsd.exe file has to be downloaded from the Microsoft site: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa731542.aspx
2. The xsd.exe itself is only 76 KB in size, so you need to download only this single file instead of the whole 250(?) MB .NET SDK installation. Even if you download the .NET SDK, you don't have to install it. Just extract the .cab file (e.g. using WinZip), open it (again using WinZip), extract the file that starts with "xsd" to the Import Manager directory and rename it to "xsd.exe".
3. Execute it in the below path: C:\Program Files\SAP MDM 7.1\Import Manager
You need to do it for SP4 too.
I do have the file. Let me know where I should send it.
Thanks,
Priti

Central Contract, MDM Catalog, and classic scenario

Dear SAP experts,
We are in SRM 7.01 with backend ECC 6.05 deploying classic scenario. We are using Central Contract Management in which we negotiate contract in SRM and later distribute it to ECC. We also plan to use SRM-MDM Catalog.
We notice that if we are using classic scenaro, the contract that is used as reference is the contract number in ECC (the one distributed from SRM). So at first we assume that if we want to push the contract data to MDM, we should have pushed the ECC Contract number. However we find out that actually SAP block the ECC Contract coming as distribution from SRM to go to MDM.
Our second option is to use distribution of contract from SRM to catalog. It does using SRM contract number. We create SC and then we pull the catalog item from the catalog (which contain SRM contract number) and then we order. However we end up with 'error in process' in which the system try to create a PR instead in the ECC (meaning that the contract number cannot be read).
We're puzzled with this. How can we use the combination of central contract, MDM catalog and classic scenario? Can we use the combination?
Best regards,
John

Maria
If you want the contracts to be in SRM and do not want them to send to Backend, then check this out.
Create a Vendor list for those items in SRM by assigning the local contracts to the vendors.Activate Vendor list for sourcing.
Then local contract data should pick as SOS from the vendor list.
If you can create contracts in Backend for stock material then SC would pick the backend contract as SOS in classic scenario.
Let me know if the above works or not.
PS : Reward points if helpful.

Help pls... Need to find scenarios, processes & step names of a project

Hello SolMan-Development Gurus,
Hello Jurgen, Henry, Sangita, Pramod, Stephane,
I am sure somebody can help me. I am in a need to determine the hierarchy of scenarios/processes/process steps that I created in my project in an ABAP program.
Can you pls guide me? Seems like these details are not stored in any database table. If so, how to get these details?
best regds,
Alagammai.

Those look like they're probably LaunchAgents or LaunchDaemons. In the Finder, choose Go -> Go to Folder, then paste in each of the following paths, one at a time:
~/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchDaemons
In each of those folders, look for any files with names beginning with "com.mcafee" and remove them. Then log out and log back in (or just restart the computer).
Of course, that doesn't guarantee that nothing else was left behind somewhere else.

Processing Sequence issue of FTP protocol

Hi,we are using the standard SAP MDM data syndication mode which using SAP XI to publish the data to client system.In this sceanrio,we think the data files generated by MDM Syndication Server should be processed according to their time stamp in the file system, starting with the oldest file.I saw the Processing Sequence parameters of transport protocol File System (NFS) in XI file adapter,but not in the FTP protocol.It seems if we want to sure the processing sequence by date,we have to use NFS.
In the Notes 821267,it mentioned "The File Adapter allows you to configure the Processing Sequence of files for the Transport Protocol "File System (NFS)", which also determines the order for EOIO processing. Files can either be processed in ascending alphabetical order (Processing Sequence "By Name") or by their last modification time stamp (Processing Sequence "By Date"), where the oldest file is processed first. For the Transport Protocol "File Transfer Protocol (FTP)" files are always processed in ascending alphabetical order."
My question is if the file name is consisted of the timestamp,such as "data20081116122345.xml" "data20081117122040.xml",will the files be processed by the "timestamp" name ascending in the Transport Protocol FTP? For example "data20081116122345.xml" first, "data20081117122040.xml" second.Thanks.

Yes, if the file consist of timestamp then with alphabetical order, it will execute in the sequence you described.
Thanks

Wait for a file and start execute a scenario process

What is the best way to achive: Wait for a file and then once the file in droped...execute a scenario process.
Sample scenario:
- Admin user ftp the file to a target directory on Unix (export/home/odi/input/files)
- A scheduled scenario package will be running/scheduled daily
- In the above scenario, The first step is to have one OdiFileWait (with options: Dir:/export/home/odi/input/files, File: xxxxx.txt,wait time and loop over..etc)
/* But for some reason OdiFileWait is not waiting/checking for the file presence define in the option. It seems to run immediately without checking the presence of the file and passing it to run the second step) */
- The second step is the "OdiStartScen" (This will run an interface generated scenario) and since the file doesn't exist as a source to load that this interface uses...its fails.
What's the common practice to accomplish this? Appreciate your feedbacks…
Thank you

Update:
I increased the timeout and Pollint setting in OdiFileWait option and its working fine now.
When the file exists (or) ftp within the timeout the process goes to next step (OK). But, say the file doesn't exists and the timeout finished...how do i set a KO to OdiFileWait and stop/complete by existing at that step itself with out failure.

MDM web dynpro in BPM process

This is my first development in BPM, so please be charitable and understanding....
I have following error in my process:
Error: Build stopped due to an error: com.sap.glx.paradigmInterface.bpmn.compiler.BPMNCompilerException: [BPM.rt_c_bpmn.000024] I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't do that: The data object 'UIResponse' does not have any type assigned to it
I have MDM web dynpro Item detail component embeed in my process in the human activity. I suppose that the problem is maybe in WebDynpro part, but I have no idea where - I was following the instructions given in e-book "How to integrate MDM with BPM", until now :-(. Do you have any idea what can be the reason of such error? I tried to find something in google, but no results for that....
Thanks,

Yes, I follow instruction "How to Integrate Master Data Management(MDM) and Business Process Management(BPM)", chapter number 5 - "Passing MDM Semantic Data between BPM Process Steps using wrapper application". In my example I need to have BPMStatus visible in the context - I don't know why yet, but it is empty now. The previous problem which I described above is already solved. I am not sure where the problem exactly was, nothing helped, so I decided to create new process from scratch. Now I am able to build the project (no error occur), but my contrainer is empty. I drag and drop it as it is descibed on page 58. The only one difference is that I made connection with BPM status.
Besides, I discovered strange thing in this documentation on page number 61 - specify event handler. I use CE ver 7.2, and I have different windows than here - I have methods, events and event handler in separate tabs. So, I created event and event handler in those separate tabs, and then I should be able to copy them to Intefrace controller, as it is described it instruction. But in interface controller I don't have tab "event handler". Do you know why is that? Is it enough to have event handler in Component Controller? Maybe this is the problem why I don't see my container and cannot complete task?
Regards and thanks for your replies,

Minimum Hardware Requirements for MDM 5.5 SP2

What is the minimum hardware requirements for MDM 5.5 SP2? For what I am doing, I expect to have 25-50K records stored in it.

The question is clear but answers may vary from one repository to another. How many fields your main record will have, how big lookup tables will be, how complex your taxonomy with attributes will be, and so on. But! The good news is you may try it even on your laptop. I got an impression it's for your own playing and experiments but not production yet. If you computer allows to run MSSQL and it has other I'd say 50-100Mb of memory free it may be enough. But again, it really varies.
For production-oriented precise estimations you can read an official sizing doc at SMP - quick link /instguidesnw04
The rule of thumb - the faster/bigger computer the better:-)

Solar01 - Business Scenarios/Process/Process steps out of alignment

Hello Folks,
We have a situation where the business process that are now in BPH in Solar01 in Solman should have been business scenario
and same with process step should be process.... Is there any quick way to fix that like going into tables and fixing the
data? If so, Can you please let me know what are the tables in which the Business scenarios, processes and steps or the hierarchy is stored?
Or is there any other way to fix this?
Appreciate your kind response.
Cheers,
Venky

Hi Venky,
Unfortunately, there is no way to do it, because the nodes have different types, and it would be like trying to transform one thing in other totally different. You can only recreate the hierarchy manually.

Business Scenarios/Processes renaming in "MyProject"

Could you please let me know the best practice on this matter...Should we use our corporate process naming convention over the SAP process naming convention by renaming the SAP ones or keep the SAP provided ones ? What are the pros and cons....
Thanks !

Hi Michel,
This is a good point but depends on you really. You can choose to use your naming convention if that fits your needs better.
Of course SAP best practice would be to use the provided scenario/process names but only if that is suitable for you.
Otherwise it is not a problem to change if those involved in managing and using the BPH are more familiar with the company naming convention.
For example, we change the names of scenarios/processes based on those mapped in the blueprint documents. And although they may be different to SAP, we can still distinguish which ones they relate to from SAP.
Hope this helps,
-Rohan

SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 - Installation Process

Hi All,
I'm in the process of installing SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 but I'm not sure about the correct installation process.
The SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 installation guide indicates that the following instances are mandatory for SRM-MDM Catalog system:
1- Java system with the central instance, the central services instance, the database instance
2- MDM Server, and MDM Import Server
We have covered the first point by installing an SRM 7.0 JAVA system. Regarding the second requirement, I have some doubts in the way it should be completed. What we did so far was to install the SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 from the MDM 7.1 installation master. So, we now have two MDM server instances: MDS and MDIS.
I'm stuck now. I'm not sure on how to connect my SR-MDM system to the JAVA DB (created in step 1) to create a new MDM schema within it. This makes me wonder if I've followed the correct process. Could you please clarify and explain which steps should be performed to get my SRM-MDM system up and running? Actually my main concern is..Should I first install a MDM system as it's described in MDM IG, and after that perform the installation of the SRM-MDM catalog as I've already done in step 2?
Hope being clear enough I'll wait for your suggestions.
Thanks and regards

Hi Diego.
The Installation Note Number for SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 is : 1177779. The recommended steps would be to follow how the Installation Guide recommends you to do so.
But still your assumption is correct. MDM landscapes and Java landscapes are both different set of categories to be installed to make the Catalog scenario to be successfull.
Step 1: Make sure you have the back end database server(SQL/Oracle/???) is installed.
Step 2: Make sure all the MDM components(MDS, MDIS, etc) is installed.
Step 3: Make sure Java WebAS is installed correctly.
Step 4: Now deploy the Catalog SCA and MDM Connector deployed in the Java WebAS.
Step 5: You can unarchive and load the repository.
Step 6: Try to launch the catalog using the URL provided to check and make sure if the connection is fine.
Also what Masa has mentioned is the communication path how the whole process is achieved technically and that doesn't mean that it has to be in the same order which he has mentioned. The below sequence is just an path to describe how the communication is achieved technically.
User -> Browser(Search UI deployed on AS Java) -> (Java API on AS Java) -> MDM Server -> MDM Repository -> DB
Relating Masa's path with the above steps
User ->
Browser(Search UI deployed on AS Java) -> Step 3 and 4
(Java API on AS Java) -> Step 3 and 4
MDM Server -> Step 2
MDM Repository -> Step5
DB-> Step 1
Hope this helps.

Scenarios when Guided procedures are mandated/preferred to be used

Hi Everyone
Seeking information on when Guided procedures can be part of the SAP Landscape. It would be helpful to cite some examples or may be some scenarios where GP could fit.
Note : Existing environment involves SAP Netwevaer MDM 5.5 SP06 ,EnterprisePortal,Webdynpro Java using MDM 5.5 SP06 Java API and question which came to my mind is where would GP fit if an external process needs to be part of the current process and how would it achieve better process control w.r.t MDM Workflows vs UWL.
Regards
Navneet

Hi,
A Composite Application consists of mainly following layers:
1. Back end and Business Layer
2. UI Layer
3. Process Layer
4. Portal Layer.
GP is for Process layer.
You can get information for each layer in [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/20f7c4ef-b73d-2a10-a2b9-d9833908130c] document.
