MDM console - basic query

Hi All
I am new to MDM and have been asked to have a conceptual overview of MDM. I have a ABAP and XI backround.
Can you please let me know what does it mean by MDM console. Is it a GUI that developer interacts with ? Please correct me if I am wrong.
Please note that I don't have MDM server installed so can you please guide me about concepts. If you have some links to refer please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
Mugdha Kulkarni

Hi Mughda,
Yes, MDM Console is a GUI but it is used for administration purpose in short. Using MDM console you can define or change the structure of repositories in which master data is going to be stored, can define user and roles for restricting users to see records, can define remote systems to or from which data is coming or going to be supplied by MDM etc.
Please follow the link of <a href="https://websmp110.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700006291622006E">Console Reference Guide</a> for more details about MDM Console.
For MDM Server installation please follow the link
<a href="https://websmp110.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000271882007E">MDM 5.5 Installation Guide</a>
Hope this will help you. Revert back to me for further queries.
Thanks,
Shiv.

MDM Console - Roles

Hi all
Inside the Data Manager i create 2 rows in the Named Serches table, then i did a query (in the free form search --> i look for a value in qualified) and I finally I assign to one of them.
I prude the resulset: Search --> Restore Named Search --> My_NamedSearch and got the filter. Now i want to assign this named search for a role, but in the console i don't have an option to choose this (the label constraint doesn't show me [ALL])
Im using MDM 5.5 SP05 (5.5.42.84)
Any suggestion.
R

hi,
upto MDM 5.5 SP05 versions, constriants are available for look up tables, Categories and mask table only.
in SP6 version you can assign Named searches to a role;
Enhanced Administration and Repository Reconciliation
􀁸 MDM Server and MDM Console
o Roles may include constraints based on Named Searches.
o The Relationships table in the MDM Console now contains the Code field.
o The default Remote System is created as type Inbound/Outbound (previously
Inbound).
o Austrian German is available as a data language.
More information: MDM 5.5 SP06 Console Reference Guide.
follow the link:

MDM Console - Roles (Contraints)

Hi all
Im using MDM Console 5.5 SP5 (5.5.42.84) and im trying to create some roles depending the values of a flat table (Plants); the thing is that in some cases MDM offer me the option ALL (in the "Constrait" label ) and when i click it the values of table appear to select which ones are available, but in some cases not. How can I add this option or what should resolve this problem??
(MDM Console --> Admin --> Roles --> Tables and Fields tab)
Really aprecciate.
Pp

Jose,
Please see page 154 of the Console Reference Guide. <a href="http://service.sap.com">MDM Reference Guides</a> or <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm550/helpdata/en/8e/9f9c427055c66ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm">SAP MDM Help - Record Constraints</a>
Basically you can only set constraints on the Masks table and lookup tables (single-valued only, not multi-valued).
Hope this helps,
Tim

Error in starting MDM Server from MDM Console

Hi,
I have installed SAP MDM 5.5 SP05 on Windows 2003 Server.
When i try to start the MDM Server (i.e. MDM Service) from the MDM console it gives me the following error:
Error Starting apmdmd(MDM Server): The machine 'apmdmd' is not Windows-based. The MDM server cannot be started from this application; please use CLIX on the machine instead. 
But if i start the MDM Service manually and then mount the server, it works fine.
Kindly help.
Regards,
Chintan Sheth

It sounds to me like a problem potentially with either the permissions of the Windows user or perhaps a software firewall. The Console uses a low-level Windows API function to determine if the target machine on which MDS is installed is Windows-based. This function may be blocked by some OS or firewall-level setting. This may be the case even if you are able to use the same client machine to connect to the target machine via the Service Control Manager and start MDS from there.
I would like to help with this problem, but I need to know a few more things:
When the problem occurs, is the Console running on the same Windows machine as MDS?
You mentioned Windows 2003 Server... when you run the Console on this machine, are you logged in as an Administrator of the machine? And do you still get the error when you attempt to start MDS from within the Console?
Once MDS is started, and you mount it within the Console, are you having any other problems, such as logging in to a repository, or viewing logs?
Is there a firewall installed on the machine or machines that the software is installed on? We may have to review the settings of the firewall, or try temporarily disabling it (on both ends, or at least on the machine running MDS), to see if the problem goes away -- then we'll know the problem is with the firewall settings.
CLIX is a fine workaround if you can use it, but clearly this problem needs to be rectified.

Basic query in Oracle Spatial

I'm trying to learn Oracle Spatial working with 11g R2 and with 3D georeferenced data (specifically data describing buildings in a city).
But I'm having trouble getting a basic query to work on my dataset (it works for the book example), and I'm trying to do it exactly the way it's done in the Spatial Developer's Guide for 11g.
To learn how spatial queries work, I set up the cola_markets tables used in the book, made the appropriate manual entry in the user_sdo_geom_metadata view and created the index. Having done that, I can run the following simple query (as well as the others in the manual) on the book tables:
SELECT SDO_GEOM.SDO_DISTANCE(c_b.shape, c_d.shape, 0.005)
FROM cola_markets c_b, cola_markets c_d
WHERE c_b.name = 'cola_b' AND c_d.name = 'cola_d';
but when I try to do the same thing on my own tables (created from citygml data), I get an error. There is the difference that the data is 3D, and the index was created without any PARAMETERS ( ... ), hence is just 2D. But still I don't get why the following query doesn't work:
SELECT SDO_GEOM.SDO_DISTANCE(c_w.envelope, c_b.envelope, 0.0005)
FROM cityobject c_w,
     cityobject c_b
WHERE c_w.id = 50025
     AND c_b.id = 50018;
The id's for the buildings are valid, and I used the same tolerance used by the software that set up the database.
Here's the error I get in SQL developer:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: java.lang.Exception: 54535
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_3GL", line 637
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_GEOM", line 1973
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_GEOM", line 1990
29532. 00000 - "Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception: %s"
*Cause: A Java exception or error was signaled and could not be
     resolved by the Java code.
*Action: Modify Java code, if this behavior is not intended.
So, thinking it might have something to do with the fact that it's a Java interface, I also tried running it from SQL/PL command line and get essentially the same thing:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-29532: Java call terminated by uncaught Java exception:
java.lang.Exception: 54535
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_3GL", line 637
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_GEOM", line 1973
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_GEOM", line 1990
Any ideas why this isn't working?
(P.S.: I couldn't find a specific board for Oracle Spatial, hence put this question here--if there's a better place for this question, then, admins, of course, feel free to move the thread to the appropriate spot)

How to change XML Schema in MDM Console?

Hi Experts,
My scenario: SRM send products to MDM Catalog using PI.
I need to change the XML Schema (XSD) for processing some new fields that don't exist in Catalog. So I created a copy of the XSD file in my station and made the necessary changes.
In XML Schema (MDM Console), I changed the FileName for getting the XSD I created.
But when I tested SRM Shopping Cart again, this couldn't access the products in Catalog anymore.
1) After my chage the FileName shows the name with "c:\Documents and Settings\...". Does it work?? Is this the cause of the error?
2) Do you know why my change affect the Shopping Cart access to the products in the Catalog?
3) Now I don't know how to undo my change in FileName. I can't do it because in the FileName MDM Console it doesn't allow to write it. It allows only to choose a file in some place, my station for example.
Could anyone help me?
Thanks!
Rose

Hi Kanstantsin,
I was analysing what you explain, but it was not exactly this problema. But what you wrote, help me to understand better the MDM and lets me know more about schemas .
Thank you very much for your help.
Hi Vinary,
It was exactly this. I had edited the name. I changed it and now it is working.
Thank you very much for your help!

XML schema in MDM Console

Hi! I have created a new XML and XSD for catalog item load. This is for batch processing of imports. I understand that I have to assign the format and XSD to the port relevant for this load. Before I can do that, I have to add the new XSD via Console > Admin > XML Schemas. The XSD is located on my C: Drive. After I have added the XSD schema, I noticed that the File Name colume is showing 'C:\product.xsd'. This is different from the other XSD that already existed in the system. For example, MDMSupplierListTransmission has filename MDMSupplierListTransmission without Namespace.xsd. My questions are:
1. I assume that the xsd MDMSupplierListTransmission is located on the server? If so, where can I find them?
2. For the XSD that I have added, is there a way for me to have it load onto the server (assuming 1 is correct)?
Appreciate your enlightenment on this.
Cheers!
SF

Hi SF,
If you have generated an XSD File from your system and then uploaded from the system to your MDM console.
It should work fine without nay problem.
Thats the standard way to do it,if you dont have an already existing XSD and have to create one..
Once the XSD file is loaded in console and its correct ,then your XML file must be allowed to import using it.
Hope It Helped
Thanks & Regards

Basic question - Problems with basic query - Mask = INSIDE

Greetings,
I'm doing a basic query on Oracle 10g Spatial, is to determine the intersection between two layers (one point called "Calidad1") and other polygons, called "Parishes")
For issuing the following query based on the documentation of oracle:
"select C1.ID, C1.SECUENCIA,
P. COD_ENTIDAD, P. STATE
Cod_county P., P. TOWNSHIP,
P. COD_PARROQUIA, P. PARISH
from CALIDAD1 c1,
PARISHES p
where sdo_relate (c1.geoloc, p.geoloc, 'mask = INSIDE querytype = WINDOW') = 'TRUE'
order by C1.ID;
When I run the query, no errors but extends too long (more than 10 minutes) and no end, I have to cancel.
Canceling shows me the following error:
"ORA-13268: error obtaining dimension from USER_SDO_GEOM_METADATA
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.MD", line 1723
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.MDERR", line 8
ORA-06512: at "MDSYS.SDO_3GL", line 89 "
This query is very basic and the data volume is small, a conclusion: I must be skipping a step or activity.
Can you guide a little to resolve this situation and get the query that I need?
Thanks to all

First, try this query with the ordered hint and also note the change in the FROM clause.
select /*+ ordered */ C1.ID, C1.SECUENCIA,
P. COD_ENTIDAD, P. STATE
Cod_county P., P. TOWNSHIP,
P. COD_PARROQUIA, P. PARISH
from PARISHES p,
CALIDAD1 c1,
where sdo_relate (c1.geoloc, p.geoloc, 'mask = INSIDE querytype = WINDOW') = 'TRUE'
order by C1.ID;
See if this is using the index as expected. If not try this:
select /*+ ordered index(p name_of_the_spatial_index_on_the_PARISH_Table) */
C1.ID, C1.SECUENCIA,
P. COD_ENTIDAD, P. STATE
Cod_county P., P. TOWNSHIP,
P. COD_PARROQUIA, P. PARISH
from PARISHES p,
CALIDAD1 c1,
where sdo_relate (c1.geoloc, p.geoloc, 'mask = INSIDE querytype = WINDOW') = 'TRUE'
order by C1.ID;

Issue in Posting Messages from XI to MDM Console

Helloo Experts,
I am trying to Post the Message from XI to SAP MDM Console. When I am trying to post a test message it appears success in XI and it is not visible in SAP MDM.
But, the logs of MDM shows the Namespace and Interface were not registered.
Can any one tell me how I can register my Namespaces in the SAP MDM console?
From some of the previous topics I can understand that to register any interface I need to have the below details
Namespace :
Interface :
Bean :
Method :
I can provide the Namespace and Interface which I am using to post the messages to SAP MDM console.
Can any one tell me where do I can find the Bean and Method of the particular Inbound interface?
Cheers!
Ram

Hello,
I think I clearly didn't explain my problem.
My Scenario is to post the message from SAP XI to one more External SAP system using HTTP cc (RFC destination)
Unfortunately that External System has been built on SAP MDM.
As per XI it is picking the message from the Source and successfully sending to the Receiver.
But at Receiver side we donu2019t see any message. But we can see certain Logs stating that
Error in processing the Inbound Message Exception:-Unable to Process the Message with Message ID u201C*********u201D with u201CNameSpace#Inbound InterfaceNameu201D is not Registered.
I want to know how to register the namespace and the Interface name of XI system ( my own system ) in External SAP System.
Cheers!

MDM Console Connectivity to MDM Server

Hi,
My scenario is that I have install MDM Server on one machine with Oracle as Database. Now when I try to connect to connect to that MDM Server using MDM Console from other machine it is not connecting.
The machine on which Console is installed is already having Oracle Server installed for another aplication. I did create a Net Alias and I can connect to Oracle Database on MDM Server using SQL plus of the server on which cnsole is installed.
Someone say that I need to install oracle client on MDM Server side....is it so ?
Regards
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Assuming your MDM Server is on a Windows system:
Does a MDM Console on the very same machine connect to the MDM Server?
Kind regards,

MDM 71 - mdm console and clix - unable to connect to database server

Hi,
environment, MDM 7.1, AIX 6, Oracle 10.2.0.4 (installed as part of a standalone java AS)
i've an issue. I have installed MDM 71 via sapinst, before that I installed a standalone java application server. During the installation, i gave the 'oracle client', 'oracle home' and 'oracle sqlplus utility' to be those of the oracle database installed for the java AS.
After sapinst completed I tested my connection to the database via
tnsping <SID> = OK
sqlplus system/passwd@<SID> = OK
When i start up the mdm console (7.1.02.90) i can mount the MDM server, BUT when I try to configure the database settings i get
error 'unable to connect to database server'
I get the same error when i use clix dblist
Error: 0x84020004, Unable to connect with Database Server
Has anybody got any ideas.

To see why the MDM is not able to connect to database, do the following:
% cd /usr/sap/<SID>/MDSxx/log
% ls -ltr
You will find last updated log file with name like MDS_LogXXUX101224X164953.csv
% tail -100 MDS_LogXXUX101224X164953.csv
You will see the reason for not being able to connect. If the reason is:
",MDSAdminServerXGetAvailableReps,Oracle_DBConnection.cpp,205,,,,server_user,server_global,,,
2011-09-23T06:10:48.933,6 ,24,"Service 'SID', Schema 'system', ERROR CODE=12154 ||| ORA-12154: TNS:could not resolve the connect identifier specified
OCI Attach, try again ...
Then edit the /oracle/SID/112_64/network/admin/tnsnames.ora with entry like following:
SID.WORLD =
(DESCRIPTION =
 (ADDRESS_LIST =
 (ADDRESS =
 (COMMUNITY = SAP.WORLD)
 (PROTOCOL = TCP)
 (HOST = hostname)
 (PORT = PORT_NO)
 (CONNECT_DATA =
 (SID = SID)
 (GLOBAL_NAME = SID.WORLD)
then issue:
tnsping SID
If result is like
Attempting to contact (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS_LIST = (ADDRESS = (COMMUNITY = SAP.WORLD) (PROTOCOL = TCP) (HOST = hostname) (PORT = PORT_NO))) (CONNECT_DATA = (SID = SID) (GLOBAL_NAME = SID.WORLD)))
OK (0 msec)

SAP MDM Console not allowing to add new fields or load repository

Hi all,
We are in SAP MDM 7.1 SP06. I do have access to create table, fields, ports etc., And I also have access to load and unload repository.
But when I login to SAP MDM Console and repository, options to load repository --> immediate and update indices are disabled. This is happening for Add/ Delete Table/Fields/Port etc.,
However, if I login to repository using MDM console in another laptop or system using the same userid, I am able to perform all the operations mentioned above.
Can you please help me with any suggestions to fix this. I do not want to reimage my laptop now inorder to fix this.
I tried to uninstall and install mdm console again but in vain.
Thanks,
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
In the Main Menu you have a lock sign,click on that and unlock the view.
This should solve the problem.
Thanks,

MDM console GUI on Windows is not mounting the MDM server on Solaris

Hello MDM experts,
This is kind of administrative problem. I am basis person, installing SAP MDM 5.5 SP04 for the first time.
I have configured the MDM server (mds) on solaris 10 system. I have also configured MDM import server(mdis) and Syndication serever (mdss) on the same machine. I have installed the database software and configured the empty repository on the same host machine.
So, Database and all the 3 MDM services (mds,mdis,mdss) are running on Solaris machine.
After that, I installed "MDM console fat client GUI" component on my desktop and trying to "mount the server" by specifying the "hostname" of the solaris machine where MDM services are running.
But I am not able to mount it...it says invalid server and does not mount.
Any idea what might be the problem ????
I referred following link :
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdmgds55/helpdata/EN/8e/9f9c427055c66ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm
which says, you should have administrative right on Solaris machine where MDM server is running....but how do I have that being a Windows user ???
Please advise.

Hello Mark,
1. When I right click on the "SAP MDM servers" node in "Console Hierarchy" pane on the left hand side of the Console GUI, and select "Mount MDM Server..." option in context menu, I get a dialog box for entering my MDM server name.
I typed in the fully qualified host name of my solaris server where "mds-r" is running.
When I click "OK" button, it adds an entry in "Console Hierarchy" on left hand side, but the entry comes with "Yellow exclamation Mark" sign. Also it says Status "Invalid" when I see the "MDM servers" section on right hand side top.
When I right click on my newly created entry of MDM server, all the options on context menu like "Mount Repository, Create Repository, Connect to MDM server" look greyed out. Only the option of "Unmount MDM server" seems to be enabled
2. I tried to do the same thing on 2 different Windows machines and got the same output.
Regards,
Bharat
