MDM COM API Installation

Hi All,
How can we install MDM COM API on the server. I mean what are the requirements.
I have to run MDM UOM manager for which it is required.
Thanks
Devinderpal Yadav

Hi,
first of all you should consider installing the COM API and the UOM Manager on a client machine as it is a client software.
1. Download COM API from service marketplace
2. Copy the installer to the according server / desktop pc
3. Start installation
Prerequsite:
Runs only on windows platforms (as a matter of course due to the fact that it is a COM lib).

MDM com API: Retriving Attribute priority in C++

Has anyone been able to retrive attribute priority using C++ in MDM 5.5sp3? We're in the process of upgrading from mdme4 to 5.5sp3 and the code that has worked for us in the past is failing to return the priority value:
unsigned char ucPriority;
ucPriority = a2iAttribute->Priority;
(Where a2iAttributre is a valid IAttribute object)
Is now always returning a value of 0 irregardless of the true value of the priority.
When we access the priority in either VB 6.0 and c# (.net 1.1) it works fine.
We're using build 5.0.28.17 from Jan 17th, 2006.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
-glenn

It turns out this problem occured only when we tried accessing an attribute's priority via icatalog.GetLimitedAttributes.
Many thanks to Nick Luu and Stanley Levin at SAP for their help in narrowing down on the exact problem and getting it fixed in time for the release of mdm 5.5 SP3 Hotfix 5 on 8-11.

MDM ABAP API - Language information not valid for repository

Dear all,
We're programming an interface in SAP R/3 to MDM catalog through 'MDM ABAP API's'. Automatically, it creates an RFC connection to MMD, but we're getting the following connection errorwhen executing the API:
E MDM_ABAP_API 078 Language information ENG US USA not valid for MDM repository XXXYYYZZZ*.
*where XXXYYYZZZ is the repository name.
W'e've established the connection in R/3 through transaction MDMAPIC and we've created the same user in R/3 and MDM Console.
This is the code written on the program where we are defining the language (ENG), country (US) and region (USA).
*maintain logon language information
ls_repository_language-language = 'ENG'.
ls_repository_language-country = 'US'.
**no region information needed here
ls_repository_language-region = 'USA'.
How can I see the repository language definition?
Which are the correct codes to be used for language 'English', Country 'United States' and Region 'USA'? And for other countries, like spanish language, country Spain and Region ¿spain?
In fact, we copied this code from website:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmdm71/helpdata/en/44/93ad8931381053e10000000a422035/frameset.htm
Maybe the problem is that any RFC configuration is missing, and it has to be done in transaction SM59?
Thanks for your feecback,
Carlos Santamaría.

The problem is now solved.
The correct languague information codes for Language Spanish, Country Spain and Region, are as follows:
Language: 'spa'
Country: 'ES'
Region: '___'
It is important to respect the CAPS, otherwise it doesn't work.
Regards,
Carlos Santamaría.

2) what are the JARs files are required and how to integrate those jar files into webdynpro for java application.
3) is there any SDN help on MDM JAVA API with webdynpro for java? . can you please send the link on the same.
4) can you please help by providing sample code on how to use JAVA APIs for retrieving,deleting,inserting and Updating the data in the database.
if anybody helps on the same then it is the great help to me.

Hi Suresh,
You can have the MDM JAVA API javadocs from the link
http://help.sap.com/javadocs/MDM/SP06P2/index.html
There you can see a package named com.sap.mdm.examples.The classes in it contains some examples using which you can start understanding the code.
You need to have MDM JAR files for it. And these JAR files to be used at build time can be added to the project thru :-
Right click on project-> properties->Java Build Path - > Add external JARs
At run time you can add them the reference in
Right click on project-> properties->web dynpro references->library reference.

Hi Nitin,
Thanks for the prompt Response.
Even I am guessing that its becose of Connection pool.
I am destroying session as follows
               DestroySessionCommand destroySessionCommand =
               new DestroySessionCommand(p_pool);
          destroySessionCommand.setSession(p_repsession);
          try {
               destroySessionCommand.execute();
          } catch (CommandException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          destroySessionCommand.setSession(p_Uesrsession);
               try {
                    destroySessionCommand.execute();
               } catch (CommandException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
But I didnot find any method by which i can close realsse connection from connection pool.
It would be great if you can help me how close or realese those connection.In MDM Console i am able to see those sessions even after destroying them.

MDM 7.1 installation / system copy

Hi,
New to MDM administration here so please help. I have a MDM 7.1 Production system running on windows and ms sql. Now i need to create a new QA system as a copy of this prod system. I am confused as to whether i should use the archive/unarchive procedure to move the repository content or shall i use the SQL backup/restore to copy the DB. I have about 8-9 small DBs in my MDM system -- around 1 GB each and I have one big DB around 200 GB that I believe has all the master data.
Shall i first copy the DBs and then do MDM installation or shall i only do a fresh install and then archive/unarchive the repositories ?? will archive/unarchive bring over all my data and configuration like connections to PI, ECC system etc ?
Also, i would like to know how to modify the connections etc in MDM to point to the correct QA systems after a system copy ?
Thanks,
BV

MDM 3.0 Installation - Business Package - License

Back ground:
We have completed the MDM 3.0 installation and now wanted to do installation related with EP. (Step 11 of section 2.5.1 in Master Guide for MDM 3.00).
During the process, we get an message like: "However this business package is in 'Restricted Shipment' status with message 'License required'.
Question:
Is it mandatory to have such License or is any other method available to download the same (some note etc.)?
- Rajesh Mangrulkar

Hi,
you can access the download of the Business Package for MDM 3.0 60.1 here in SDN at https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/contentportfolio.sdn.
You must be signed in with your Service Marketplace user. If you hold the appropriate license, you will get a download link that will start the download.
If you do not hold the license or have not logged on with the Service Marketplace user id, you will see a 'License Required' instead.
In case you hold the required license and the link still does not show up, open a OSS message at XX-SER-RU with the problem description.

Hi Vitthal,
We have to install MDM Connector and MDM JAVA API.
All these sca files that u got along with the business content needs to be deployed onto Web Application Server (recommended WAS 7.0 ).
U can deploy these files with the help of SDM.
Hope dis solves ur problem.
