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.

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,

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.

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.

How to handle authorization assignment in MDM console

How can we assign authorization based on different users role? Is there a function in MDM console? Thanks!

Hi Alfred,
Here I am giving you a small pratice case study to get clear picture of user authentication in MDM
Case:
Table A has five fields F1,F2,F3,F4,F5
User X, User Y, User Z are three MDM user with different roles.
Objective:
User X should have read/write access to all the fields in Table A.
User Y should have only read access to all the fields in Table A.
User Z should have read access to F1,F2 and read/write access to F3,F4,F5 of Table A.
Steps:
1. Create a role named For User X. Got to Tables and Fields tab, select Read/Write radio button for Table A.
2. Create user User X assign the role For User X to the user.
3. Create a role named For User Y. Got to Tables and Fields tab, select Read-Only radio button for Table A.
4. Create user User Y assign the role For User Y to the user.
5. Create a role named For User Z. Got to Tables and Fields tab, select Read-Only radio button for fields F1,F2, select Read/Write radio buttons for fields F3,F4,F5.
6. Create user User Z assign the role For User Z to the user.
7. Also go to Functions tab, set the permissions like create, delete to the roles.
Testing:
1. Login to Data Mgr as User X, now you can
2. Login to Data Mgr as User Y, now you can only read the data. If you try adding/updating/deleting any data it will throw warning message.
3. Login to Data Mgr as User Z, now you can edit fields F1,F2 but when try to edit F3 or F4 or F5, system will throw warning message.
Creating Masks and assigning to a role:
1. Login to Data manager as Admin.
2. Create a mask in the mask table.
3. Go to main table, right click on the record(s) and add them to the mask. Or do free form search based on hierarchy and add the records to the mask.
4. Go to Console->Admin->Roles table->select a role say For User X -> tables and fields tab->drill down to mask table->select the mask from constraints field.
Testing:
1. Login to data mgr as User X.
2. Now you can see the masked records only.
3) Is this action of authorization assignment a little bit same with what we usually do in SAP R/3?
 No idea
Thanks,

MDM Security role issue

Hi ALL
I have created a new MDM role for Combined Basis & security purpose, The role works fine when tested for creating users & roles & some basis activities. It has full access to basis activities & readonly access to other activities outside of basis.
The problem i face is -> when User click on any of the nodes other than the Basis area & select "create a new record " then the user gets Not authorized message, But upon cancelling the activity also, the user can't get back to the basis area because the NO AUTHORIZATION comes back upon clicking on any area,
Only solution i see here is that the user should close the MDM client console & then relogin again into the server & repository.
Do you know how can i get back to the basis activity without closing the MDM console & work normally.
regards
Naveen Murthy

Some how can you revist the assingments ?
can you go to SUIM and determine which tcds are executable for the role assigned and the user?

MDM Developer Role

Hello guys.
As an MDM developer, what is part of your role:
1. Import Data from XI using Import Manager
2. Using MDM Console to create Repository and populate it with Data
3 Syndicate the data using MDM Syndicator
4 .Convert Functional to Technical Specs
Is using an MDM Data Manager to de-duplicate the data part of Developers role, or it's MDM Super User's job, some one from the Business Side?
Also does the developer participate in Blueprinting phase, like gathering Functional Specs, or Developers job only to transfer them to Technical
specs?
Also please list some of the other roles of MDM Developer.
Thank you

Hi Igor,
1) Is using an MDM Data Manager to de-duplicate the data part of Developers role, or it's MDM Super User's job, some one from the Business Side?
- Creating The De-Duplication strategy to find Duplicate records is the job of an MDM consultant,but once the rules and strategy is set up the matching an merging will be performed by the Business guy, as there is a business need to it.While merging two records it very important which info from which records is selected and this a business person will need to decide.
2)Also does the developer participate in Blueprinting phase, like gathering Functional Specs, or Developers job only to transfer them to Technical
specs?
- Ya it is true that an MDM consultant will decide the MDM technical specs but an MDM consultant also plays an imp role in deciding the Functional specs as this is determined by what MDM can do & what it cannot do.Like for eg an MDM consultation will be req to decide which Roles should be granted which all access,what data can be used as a qualifier data or an hierarchy data.etc.
3)Also please list some of the other roles of MDM Developer.
- An MDM developer another imp role could be in designing a Workflow as most of the data importing will be through a workflow.
Hope it helps
Thanks & Regards

SAP MDM Console

Hi,
I'm new to MDM Console. Can anyone please tell me how can I, from SAP MDM Console restrict a particular user from viewing specific records in MDM Data Manager.
Thanking you in advance.
Hemal

Hi,
You can achieve this using Masks.
Step 1:
In the Data Manager , you filter records based on what ever condition you are looking for. Add the filtered records to a Mask.
If you have no masks defined in the Data Manager.
Select Masks table from the top left corner list in the Data Manager and create a Mask.
Once you finished creating the Mask, go back to the Main table and add the Filtered records to the created mask.
(Select all the records right click and select Add to Mask and select the Mask).
Step 2:
a. For New Role:
1. In the MDM Console for that particular repository, create a new role and in the role details grid, select Table/Fields tab and look for Masks table. In the Constraints column, you select the Mask you created in the Data Manager.
2. Assign the created role to the user.
b. For Existing Role:
In MDM console select the role in the repository and
in the role details grid, select Table/Fields tab and look for Masks table. In the Constraints column, you select the Mask you created in the Data Manager.
Hope this helps.
Let me know if you need any additional information.
Thanks and Regards

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,

MDM Users & Roles

Hello All,
I am trying to document all of the users and roles that are provided by the default installation of MDM 5.5 SP3. I haven't been able to find anything specific regarding the users but with the roles I have found the following:
-Business Expert
-Master Data Administrator
-Master Data Expert
-OCI Subscriber
I am also wondering what type of server MDM Server runs on. By that I mean, does it run on NW Web Application Server 6.40? I've gone through all the documentation on the marketplace and haven't found a clear answer. It might be there, but I'm kind of overloaded on documentation. I would just install MDM and play around with it but I don't have the software or hardware to do it at this time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chad

Subbu,
Thanks for the information. I found more documentation that leads me to a few other questions:
1. When opening the MDM Console, are you prompted with a username/password or does the software just open up? From what I've read, I would assume that the software just opens up and any authentication takes place when you mount a server (if the server is password protected).
2. From what I have read and seen in diagrams, it looks like tcp/ip is used to communicate between the GUI clients and the
MDM server. Do you know if the authentication process between the two is encrypted or is it in clear text?
3. When mounting a MDM server, I noticed that the MDM console user has to have administrator privileges for the machine on which the MDM server is running. Is the MDM Console user an Operating System (Windows, UNIX) user? I noticed that you start a MDM server with the "mds" account in UNIX and in Windows any account with Administrator privileges will work. SO does that mean the user I type in to mount the server has to exist in the operating system on the MDM server and has to have administrator privileges in order to mount the MDM Server?
Thanks,
Chad

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.

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

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,
Dennis
