MDM 7.1 Archiving

Hi experts
We are archiving our product repository on a daily basis.
And we want to create a backup repository also for the same on a daily basis.
How we can automatically do this task?(We are using 7.1 version)
Thanks in Advance
Dhanish Joseph

Hi Dhanish,
This can be done using MDM Clix commands in the form of batch files which you need to scheduled with the help of scheduler.
Please refer the below wiki for complete details:
[Automatic Backup (Archive) of MDM Repository|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SAPMDM/AutomaticBackupofMDMRepository%28UsingMDMCLIXinWindowsOS%29]
Similarly this can be achieved for MDM 7.1.

Delete MDM 2.0 archive files

Hi MDM gurus,
how is it possible to delete archived repositories.
We're using a Linux-Server. So do I have to delete archive files via command line ... or is it possible to delete archives via MDM Console?
Deleting archive files shouldn't make any problems, right?
Reason is that we need space on the harddisk.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Best regards,
Henning

Hello Henning,
I have to delete archive files via command line
Yes, you have to delete via command line.
Just follow the path as given below:
C:\Program Files\SAP MDM 5.5\Server\Archives
Under the Archives folder, you can delete the respective archive files (.a2a files).
Note: Installation directory may difer as per your MDM installation directory.
is it possible to delete archives via MDM Console?
No, it is note possible via MDM Console.
I hope this will clear your doubt.
TNR,
Saurabh...

SRM-MDM - procedure for archiving/unarchiving a repository

Can anyone point me to a system admin guide for SRM-MDM? I'm getting the error: "Error: 0xffaa0202, Invalid password during stopmdm" when I try to stop the system and I cant find an admin guide.
Here are the details of my problem:
We are running SRM-MDM 5.5 in Oracle and HP/UX in our landscape. I've archived our production repository and copied it over to the development system where I unarchived it. I set the password in the console so I can now connect and load the new repository in development. However when I try to stop the system by running the stop script, I get the error "Error: 0xffaa0202, Invalid password during stopmdm"
SAP support tells me I have to set the password in the "m000", "z000" (and similar) and A2i_Xcat_dbs schemas, but where is this password set? I cant find any reference to a password setting in the DB schemas.
Thanks in advance.

SRM MDM 3.0 BMECAT Repository Schema

Hello at all,
I have currently run the SRM-MDM 3.0 with the standard respository delivered as archive on the install CD. I still have created some data with the data manager and it runs all very well.
Now I want to import a catalog based on BMECat 1.2 standard. I Have the complex catalog data XML from the vendor Bechtle and the images folder for the articles.
When running the Import Manager there are many fields and tables in the source xml that do not excist in the destination hierachy (repository).
My question is how do I create a repository based on the BMECat 1.2 standard to import the vendor catalog xml ?
What I still tryed was. Creating a new repository. It's empty except of the standard table like Admin, Images, Products etc.
Than go to Transport -> Import Repository Schema -> choose the vendor XML
That doesn' work. I get the Error Message: "There are problems with the transport (XML) which prevent it from being processed"
I have learned that an XML schema data is described with the ending .xsd but when I try to import the databrowser looks for .xml endings.
Could someone please advice what's I have done wrong?
Thanks a lot.
Rico

Hi Rico,
I am not aware of BMEcat standard but in MDM terms you can take the backup of repository in two forms:
1. Archive/UnArchive -> If you want to move the repository from one MDM server to another i.e. from dev to QA then you can Archive the repository which creates the .a2a file and place the file in the Archives folder of MDM Server installation directory which can then be copied and moved to Archives folder of target MDM server and you can UnArchive it on that MDM server.
Archive = Repository Schema + Data
2. Export / Import Repository Schema -> With this method you can export the schema of the repository and create the new repository on some other MDM Server using Create Repository from Schema command. When you perform the export repository schema command, it will ask for the file name and path. You can then copy this schema file and place in the file system of another server.
Export / Import Repository schema = Repository Schema only

MDM Archiving Error

We are trying to archive a repository on our MDM instance and we receive the following error:
$$$ Operation ended in ERROR : 84020008H : Database binary object error.
I then went on to check the repository and got this 1 warning:
$$$ Warning(1329): Table A2i_1 needs compacting(IdMax=171, IdCount=137).
I did some searching and found a way to compact the table with this command in sqlplus:
alter table A2i_1 shrink space compact;
But it has not have resolved the issue. We are running MDM on a Windows machine with an Oracle database. Has anyone seen this message before? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Edited by: Nicole on Apr 8, 2008 11:29 PM

Hi Nicole,
I have not faced this problem before, but since the error tells you that the repository needs to be compacted.
I hope you have tried compacting the repository from Console.
RIght click on the rep-> Compact Repository.
Also if you have mentioned the error, you can also find out Which table and which line in MDM is causing the error.
Table A2i_1 needs compacting(IdMax=171, IdCount=137).
May be you must have created something before, that you have deleted later on. But the memory might have remained.
Also it sometimes might happens because of the Field Length. It should be kept to a minimum. Check your repository manually also.
Then kindly check and Verify your repository for errors.
Hope it helps.
Thanks and Regards

MDM 7.1 on HP-UX Archiving on a daily basis

Hi all,
We are migrating a MDM landscape from Windows to HP-UX.
We used to run CLIX .bat files scheduled on the Windows Server to perform daily archive of our repositories.
As CLIX is only available for Windows Plataform (you can check the MDMCX7100*.ZIP from http://service.sap.com/swdc), we need to find a way to perform Repository Archiving natively on our HP-UX environment.
Is there a HP-UX tool, or MDM commands we can schedule on our HP-UX Server?
(We were recommended to run CLIX commando from our workstations, but is not really an option we can consider)
Thanks in advance
Yours faithfully,
Cristian Marin

If anyone my find this helpfull,
CLIX is installed as a native tool of the MDM Server, so all we had to do was to rebuild our CLIX commands under (sh) shell.
Below you may find the code we have modifiy it to replace the final a2a file.
#!/bin/sh
#El archivo resultante queda en la ruta
#/usr/sap/MDP/MDSXX/mdm/archives
FECHA=`date +%F_%T`
clix cpyArchive "<mdm-host>:<mdm-password>" "<REP_NAME>:<SID>:Oracle:system:<oracle-system-password>" -A <REP_NAME>_$FECHA.a2a
Good luck!

Stop archiving repository in MDM Console

Hello ,
I wanted to take back up of a repository which had 6000+ records.
I archived the repository in "unloaded" mode some 3 days back and still the status is showing as archiving.
Since the repository was unloaded, I cant use MDM Data Manager.
Does anyone have any idea why is it taking so long to archive the repository?
Also, is there any way as to how can we stop the process of archiving a repository?
Will stopping the MDM server help?
Any help in this regard will b appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Roshani.

Hi,
As 'An' said i too dont think it should take so much time.. for 6000 records either in minutes or max a couple of hours... any ways as you said its still under process might be it got stuck somewhere its better instead of restarting your server, you stop your console, by selecting AltCltDel and then restart you console. and then try to archieve a small repositorya and then you try with the 6000 thousand one....
Cheers,
Cherry.

Archiving of Java component and SAP MDM

Hi,
For ABAP components it's quite easy to archive data or manage documents through BC-AL and BC-HS interface.
Does there is the same type of interface for java components (PI or EP for example) and for SAP MDM.
What I wantt to do is data archivng with probant value by using Opentext LEA or Documentum for example
Thanks in advance,
Thomas

Hi Sri,
There are many possibilities in XI for your scenario.
1. You can post an http request from your java application to SAP XI. In that case you need an HTTP Adapter and an RFC Adapter in XI.
2. You can generate a file from your java application which will be picked up by SAP XI using FILE Adapter and using RFC or IDoc adapter you can post the data into R/3.
3. Optionally you can try with webservice from your java application so that using XI SOAP adapter you can get the data from Java application.
and the options are still more....
Thanks,
Sasi

HR PA Data Archiving

Hi,
We are undergoing the archiving project for HR module. For PD data, we can use object BC_HROBJ, for PCL4 data, we can use PA_LDOC. What about 2000 series infotypes data, such as PA2001, PA2002, PA2003, etc.? Because all changes to these infotypes are stored in PCL4 cluster LA, we only need to purge the data from these tables. What is the best way to purge PA2xxx data? We cannot use transaction PA30/PA61 to delete records because user exit edits prevent any action against old data beyond certain time frame.
Thanks very much,
Li

Some important questions on MDM functionality

Hello All,
I have some basic/imp questions to be understood on MDM 7.1 for a data consolidation project.
1) When importing records in import manager, some of the records are failed with this error message "Import failed. Unable to find value map index". When checked the records in excel source, those records are having one or two fields carrying some square like char, ? and some non readable char (chinese, japanese). SAP is the source and SAP CRM has those characters successfully maintained in the system but MDM has some issue. How do we tackle these in MDM to successfully import those records?
2) How do we archive a repository to create a new one which needs to have empty records in main table but need to carry look up table records?
3) There are some records attached to workflow and when deleted those records from data manager, system throwing error "attached to workflow". Can anyone help me how to remove this attachment and delete those records?
4) The max number of records which can be imported at one shot in import manager is 100K? What happens when we exceed this records let's say 200K? Does the process go infinite loop? Is there a way out to import more than 100K records at one shot?
5) What are the different types of data consolidation projects MDM Gurus encounter? Elaborate please.
6) How many clients use Hierarchy, taxonomy, family tables for repository design? Is it very common or rare? And what would be some of the reference use cases (articles) I could find in sdn blogs for these?
Thx and appreciate for responding to these and also please let me know if any additional articles around MDM which are very popular and must see for a MDM consultant.
-Mike

1) When importing records in import manager, some of the records are failed with this error message "Import failed. Unable to find value map index". When checked the records in excel source, those records are having one or two fields carrying some square like char, ? and some non readable char (chinese, japanese). SAP is the source and SAP CRM has those characters successfully maintained in the system but MDM has some issue. How do we tackle these in MDM to successfully import those records?
Thats a known issue in MDM 5.5 but i am not sure about the current 7.1 SP08 release it might by fixed too, MDM Import manager does not support some special characters,only solution is to identify those records which has special characters in excel and exclude them from the load, may by unmapping the field which has special characters and load the other fields data using the map. and then login to Data manager and copy the text to the corresponding record manually.
2) How do we archive a repository to create a new one which needs to have empty records in main table but need to carry look up table records?
We can not create a repository from an archive with out main table data automatically. you need to clean the main table manually or by using an import map we can delete the data.
Check the below link for deleting data from a main table through import manager:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0245870-0adf-2b10-46a8-ca9dcf8e1a4d?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true
3) There are some records attached to workflow and when deleted those records from data manager, system throwing error "attached to workflow". Can anyone help me how to remove this attachment and delete those records?
Click on workflows tab in data manager and you can find in which workflow the record is and check the history by right clicking on the record. if you have rights to stop the workflow do that , or else login with the workflow owner and stop the workflow so that record will come out of the workflow and will be able to be delete that record.
4) The max number of records which can be imported at one shot in import manager is 100K? What happens when we exceed this records let's say 200K? Does the process go infinite loop? Is there a way out to import more than 100K records at one shot?
Importing 100K data in one shot is not a good idea, and the system will go in infinte loop. you need to split the source files in to multiple chunks. chunk size in your system will be set in MDS.INI file, talk to your MDM Basis guy he will help you in getting details of those..
5) What are the different types of data consolidation projects MDM Gurus encounter? Elaborate please.
Let us know which kind of consolidation project you are working in, Tricks will be based on the particular requirement
6) How many clients use Hierarchy, taxonomy, family tables for repository design? Is it very common or rare? And what would be some of the reference use cases (articles) I could find in sdn blogs for these?
Again for this question it will be based on the requirements... i am sure you will be able to find blogs how to use hierarchies,taxanomies and family tables but not the client names...
Hope i answered your questions.
regards
Sowseel
