MDM and BPM

Dear All
We have a scenario where BPM is used for managing the workflow. In one of the approval steps the workflow goes to Data steward who only has access to Data manager. He is notified for a task and he can perform his actions only from data manager. Is this possible for the BPM workflow to proceed to next step based upon his action in Data Manager?
Thanks-ravi

In general my recommendation would be no.  As far as I know, actions performed with the MDM GUI tools only raise a couple of events and those are primarily syndication related.  I don't think that you can raise an event that alerts the BPM (or some other service) that a record has changed.  Therefore you would have to have a custom service or Java program (as was mentioned above) which would have some logic by which it checks the repository.  I don't think this is a good idea from a design perspective, but it is technically possible.
Edit:  I thought about it again, and it may be possible to use the enrichment controller to raise an event, but I've never done it before so I'm not quite sure how that would be done.

  • MDM and XI Relationship

    Hi,
    Looking at the complete SAP Netweaver stack, I would like to understand where SAP strategically positions data distribution.
    - SAP MDM offers distribution capabilities trough (a) the key-mapping concept and (b) the syndicator/port functionality
    - SAP XI offers mapping functionality and can "duplicate" input into multiple outputs.
    To illustrate my question more - concider this basic scenario. SAP MDM holds customers data and needs to send all these customers to 60 different SAP R/3 systems, using a specific set of selection criteria for each R/3 box.  With standard ALE, one would define 60 logical systems and set-up idoc/segment filtering criteria in the distribution model.
    I would like to understand how such a scenario would be designed using MDM and XI.
    Thx
    Dirk

    Hi Dirk,
    Its a very interesting scenario.
    We can definitely use MDM and XI to implement this scenario. XI can pick up the data from MDM and generate multiple Idocs (one for each receiver). All the 60 receivers can be configured in the XI interface. I think handling the filtering is the main challenge in this scenario. Though we can write a complex user defined function to filter each Idoc based on receiver (or a complex BPM), but based on my project experience, I have seen that it is never a good idea to load XI too much with processing logic. In this case, it will be better if we handle the filtering logic in the respective target systems (in the posting function itself).
    I am sure there would be other good ways also of implementing such a scenario. What I have suggested is based on my project experience.
    Thanks,

  • Data Quality Comparison Report across Systems(MDM and BW)

    Hi,
    I have a requirement of generating a Data comparison report in Excel using BODS. I need to extract data from SAP MDM and SAP BW and do a comparison on the record basis. For example.I take a material 100 record from MDM and same Material 100 record  from SAP BW. I  have to compare field by field values between these 2 systems.If there is any contingency,I have provide that record as output in Excel.
    I think i need to create a batch  job in BODS to run this requirement. Could you please tell  me the approach of comparing the records in BODS and give the output of the record in Excel.
    I really appreciate your help.
    Thanks,
    Kumar.

    Hi,
    The steps are :
    To read data from BW need to create a open hub detination based on the datatarget where the data is stored.
    Read the MDM data to BODS and then in BODS.
    Once both the data from BW and MDM are sotred in BODS then create a pioneer report which is based on excel.

  • Business Rules and BPM

    Anybody here knows the difference between Business Rules and BPM..
    We can do pretty much everything with a Business Rules Engine as we would do with BPM , then in which scenario should we use BPM and in which scenario should we use Business Rules Engine?
    Ofcourse Business Rules Engine has more complex set of rules than any BPM product in the market for .eg. ILOG Business Rules...

    BPM and a rules engine are different. Both are important, but they have different uses.
    Oracle BPM Studio is used by Business Analysts and Developers to model processes, integrate underlying components (including business rules) and develop user interfaces.
    There's an Engine that executes the processes that have been modeled. It sends the work item instances to the right person or persons with the right data when the work item reaches an interactive activity in the process. Similarly the Engine has invokes the underlying components specified in the process when the work item instance reaches an automatic activity.
    There's an out of the box Workspace runtime that lets end users manage and run their work item instances as they flow throughout the processes.
    We can business rules inside the processes, but one does not replace the other.

  • Test/Trial project on MDM and XI integration.

    Test/Trial project on MDM and XI integration.
    I want to try out a test case scenario where in i would be importing and exporting data to XI (Using XML files i guess)
    I am a newbie in MDM integration.
    Please help me out with my trial project.
    What i already have:
    I have MDM system and repository on which i have been learning basic MDM designing a (test)repository of my own.
    What information i need:
    -What all system requirements (XI system configuration and all) are needed to established. (What all should i be asking the XI and the system admin guys to be able to get the platform ready for me.*
    *-The further procedure for actual integration to be done for importing/exporting data as in a real time project scenario

    Hi Gaurav,
    SInce you want to try a test scenario including MDM and XI, I would suggest you to try
    ECC -> XI->MDM scenario
    Wherein you can take the data from ECC in the form of IDOCs and convert them into XML.
    You can then import the XML into an MDM repository. MDM repository can be a Customer, Material, Vendor etc repository. Hence extract the similar data from ECC.
    Kindly follow the steps below:
    1) Firstly you will have to extrcat the look-up table data from R3 using MDMGX transaction-
    Please follow this link to know about the same:

    2) For loading the main Table Data into MDM, kindly follow the link below, which will guide you to the config/prcoess that will be required for the data to be uploaded from R3 into MDM.
    2.1) R/3-XI-MDM (Outbound Scenario)
    You will have to extract the data from R3 in the form of IDOCS and then using XI, you will have to convert them into XML format as MDM understands that.
    2.2) For the process of Data from MDM back to R3, kindly refer this link below:
    MDM-XI-R/3  Integration
    2.3) For general info about this scenario, kindly refer this link below:

  • What products to choose for a SOA and  BPM Scenario?

    Hi, i am beggining in this interesting world of SOA and BPM. I am responsible for evaluating to implement a business testing case of SOA and BPM that involves these products: Oracle BPM, Oracle Service Bus, Oracle BPEL, Oracle Weblogic Server.
    So, i decided to install and configured in the same order, the following products (some of them are from the Fussion Middle Ware 11g):
    1- Oracle Database XE
    2- Repository Creation Utility (11.1.1.2.0) to create schemas in database for SOA and BAM
    3- WebLogic Server (10.3.2)
    4- SOA Suite (11.1.1.2.0), that includes BPEL
    5- JDeveloper and Application Development Framework (11.1.1.2.0)
    6- Soa-jdev-extension
    7-Oracle BPM Suite
    Next, i tried to follow the running y building tutorial for Fusion Order Demo, according to "e10275-Running y Building an Application with SOA Suite" guide, but i couldn´t deploy the demo because of Ant Module Issue.
    Also, i've noticed, that the service bus included in SOA Suite 11g is not the Oracle Service Bus but Enterprise Service Bus called mediator, and according to documentation in Soa Suite 11g, Oracle Service Bus is available as a separate download with an Oracle SOA Suite license. But revising Oracle Service Bus downloads, there is an only one: Oracle Service Bus 10gR3 (10.3.1.0) hat works with Weblogic server 10.3.
    Besides that, there is no integration between Oracle BPM Suite and SOA Suite.
    And after all, i have the following questions:
    1. Is it correct the products choosen (version 11g) to implement Business SOA/BPM evaluation case?
    In case of answer to question 1 be affirmative:
    2. How can i integrate Oracle Service Bus to SOA Suite 11g?
    3. How can i integrate Oracle BPM Suite to SOA SUite 11g?
    In case of answer to question 1 be negative:
    4. What products to install and configure to fulfill the business test case products requeriments: Oracle BPM, Oracle Service Bus, Oracle BPEL, Oracle Weblogic Server?
    I would appreciated your help.
    Roycito

    Hi Roycito,
    And after all, i have the following questions:
    1. Is it correct the products choosen (version 11g) to implement Business SOA/BPM evaluation case?Yes. From technical perspecive it is possible and you have chosen the right combination, however it may differ as per your business requirements and use case.
    In case of answer to question 1 be affirmative:
    2. How can i integrate Oracle Service Bus to SOA Suite 11g?Current version of OSB (10.3.1) does not support 11g resource adapters so direct integration may not be possible but through a transport protocol such as HTTP(S), JMS, File and FTP, you can integrate OSB indirectly with SOA suite 11g. Please refer -
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/integration.1111/e10223/04_osb.htm
    3. How can i integrate Oracle BPM Suite to SOA SUite 11g?Through BPEL it should possible. Please refer -
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/integration.1111/e10223/505_bpm.htm
    Try to contact your local Oracle Sales Representative for more details and support from Oracle for implementaion of your use case.

  • Failing to assemble Downloaded Pre-built Virtual Machine for  SOA Suite and BPM Suite 11g

    Hello,
    I checked the download checksum of the files downloaded for Pre-built Virtual Machine for  SOA Suite and BPM Suite 11g ( Pre-built Virtual Machine for SOA Suite and BPM Suite 11g ) and they all match checksums.
    however, when I try to assemble them with 7zip, I get a corrupt error message.  I have tried downloading with Chrome and Internet Explorer.  I have also tried assembling the 7zip files different ways.
    Is there anything else I should try?
    Running on Windows 7, 64 bit machine.  (with lots of disk space).
    Is there any other way to get the files?
    thank you.

    thanks for the response
    I guess I will have to do that as well.
    However, it defeats the speed with which can ramp up with the toolset;  thus slowing my time I can allocate to learning it...

  • How to determine Chord and BPM

    Hi everyone,
    I'm a garage band beginner. I've successfully recorded 2 songs with loops, harmonies, and vocal tracks - even the occasional editing of a loop but I have difficulty when I start up a new project trying to determine chord and bpm - well, mostly bpm.
    There is a song I want to cover and customize myself. Is there anything in garage band or anywhere on the web that anyone knows of where I can play a song and it determines the bpms?
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Thanks HangTime! What do I multiply it by?
    Multiply it by the seconds I counted?

  • Connected MDM and LDAP, but but now what? Why user mapping?

    Hi Gurus,
    In my last thread, I posted that I was not able to connect MDM with LDAP. I was finally able to.
    My problem now is I have to define user mapping in SAP Portal for the MDM business iViews to work.
    By connecting MDM and LDAP, I got the benefit that now the authentication and authorization is happening via LDAP.
    But this does eliminate the need for user mapping. If this is the case then why the real benefit of using LDAP?
    In this case this becomes worse as I need to know the user's LDAP Password which no body will share for sure.
    Any ideas? I want to get rid off this user mapping stuff.
    Warn Regards,
    Karan

    without knowing specifics of ur architecture, i can quickly point out two things:
    1)  LDAP is primarily used for authentication, true.
    2) Portal User mapping should not be an issue if u already have portal tied up to the active directory or some kind of single sign on?
    So portal knows the users who has logged it, polls the Active directory for authentication and Active directory logs into MDM with that users role.

  • Problem in completing the TASK when using Web Dynpro Java and BPM

    Hi,
    I am using Web Dynpro Java and BPM.
    i see my Web Dynpro View when i run the process.
    Just that the task is not completing.
    when i click on the Web Dynpro button to signal the completion of the event, nothing happens.
    i have appropriately created events in both Component controller and Interface Controller and used the same in creating the Task.
    a method in Component controller fires the event and a button click in the view calls this method.
    i have successfully completed Donka Dimitrova's "SAP Netweaver Business Process Management-End-to-End Process Implementation Sample " but when i tried my own with slight modifications, it is not working !!!

    Hi Amol,
    The way you described the things, I dont see any problems. Just to make sure that you are triggering the right event that you mapped as completion event for the task, try to cross check once again and see if the correct event is getting triggered. Also try to put some messages for debugging to see till where the control goes.

  • XI impoartance in MDM and SAP core?

    Hi Friends,
    I am new to the NW competency,Just working in XI.
    can any one explain the use and importance of XI in SAP and MDM.
    Thanks un advance.
    regards
    Mc

    Hi,
    Good.
    SAP XI is critical component in NW stack.
    Using which we can communicate/exchange data to SAP R/3,non-SAP,BW,  MDM and any legacy system and from.
    SAP MDM is master data management server. as in our SAP R/3 Customer Master, Vendor Master, Material Master, Etc.
    These Master Data we are maintained in conventional way means individual SAP R/3 and non-SAP itself.
    However, these Master Data can store in single point source of truth and then distribute to all after consolidating the master record data.
    Here you can understand requirement of XI.
    First, we will get the all Master Data (ex. Customer, Material, Etc) from Different sources (ex. SAP or non-SAP or DB) using the scenario
    SAPR/3---> XI--> MDM (Outbound to SAP R/3 or Inbound to MDM)
    Second,
    Then we will do the all the necessary things in MDM.
    Third, we will syndicate/ distribute the consolidated Master Data to all the Systems using this scenario
    MDM-> XI-> SAPR/3 (Outbound to MDM or Inbound to SAP R/3)
    I hope this will be very helpful to ALL and rate this as Points
    Sincerely,
    Bala
