MDM Console - security and views

Hi,
I access MDM console remotely on the Windows 2003 server that hosts the MDM system and locally on my own laptop. Both machines run the same version of MDM Console 5.5 SP6 (5.5.63.87) and I have Admin access.
When I view the repository on the Windows 2003 server I can see detailed information (individual fields and detail) when I view the repository from my laptop I can only see the detail.
If I use PORTS as an example. On the Windows 2003 server I can see a list of the ports and when I click on them I can see the port definition. On my local machine all I can see is the port detail (eg, the table definition).
As I have the same version of MDM Console installted on both machines (I have even checked the executable size and date) I'm at a loss to understand why the repository looks different when accessed from the server and my machine.
I have checked the MDM Console Guide and that doesn't offer an insight. I am still searching SDN without any luck.
Your advice is appreciated.

Rob
This might sound silly but are you sure the detail panel in MDM Console has not been pulled up to the top?
Can you attach a screenshot with the Port example?

When mount MDM server on MDM console...MDM Console hangs.

Hi,
when i try to mount MDM server on MDM console, MDM Console hangs and then i have to stop MDM console with task manager.
For this i have tried with restarting MDM server - then also issue was not resolved, then i have rebooted the server, then issue resolved.
But rebooting the server is not permanent solution, this problem occurs everything next 3-4 days.
Please let me know the cause and it's solution if anyone has faced the similar issue.
---------------Server details----------------
SAP MDM 7.1SPS11
OS - Suse Linux
DB - MaxDB
MDM Console is also SPS11
Thanks and Regards,
Murtaza Najmi

Hi Murtaza,
This may be due to the memory full issue. It is advisable to allocate appropriate memory in the RAM where server is running. Generally it will be done by the DB team or Linux/unix team. Raise this ticket to your concerned teams.

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)

How to get my software on my 8900 curve and view home security cameras ?

hello, i was hoping to find a solution on how to access my home security cameras on my 8900 curve ; was told it was possible but the attet tech didnt know how exactly ! is there a way to download my software and view my home cameras on my curve ?

hi and Welcome to the Forums!
You will need to do one (or more) of several things:
1) Find out if the maker of your cameras has an app for your BB. Do whatever they say to do to make it work.
2) Create a compatible web page from your cameras that you can then view using your BB web browser. Compatible media streams can be found in this KB:
KB05482 Media types supported on the BlackBerry smartphone
I think this has been done before -- do a wide search on this forum and see if you can find the answers that others have found in the past.
Occam's Razor nearly always applies when troubleshooting technology issues!
If anyone has been helpful to you, please show your appreciation by clicking the button inside of their post. Please click here and read, along with the threads to which it links, for helpful information to guide you as you proceed.

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:
<i>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. </i>
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.

Console Extension Custom View development

Hi,
I am trying to get started on developing a SCCM 2012 SP1 Console Extension (Custom View) for a removable media security solution.
My goal is to mimic the "Assets and Compliance"->"Endpoint Protection"->"Antimalware Policies".
I have created the XML so that a tree-node displays correctly under the "Endpoint Protection" parent node by following "How to Create Node XML for a Configuration Manager
Console Grid View" (yep, that is the easy part :-) ).
Where I need some help is creating the corresponding assembly dll. I thought following the SDK documentation "How to Create a Configuration Manager Console Custom View" would
be a great start and thought there might be a related sample in the SDK but this page leaves me with the following questions (I hope someone can answer):
1. What Configuration Manager reference assembly contains IConsoleView2?
I have added Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.ManagementProvider as a reference assembly and added a using (C#) for every namespace in the assembly but IConsoleView2 still does not resolve.
2. The documentation is saying to subclass OverviewControllerBase but I can find no documentation on what this class is.
Thanks in advance,
Tony

Hi Alfonso,
I did eventually release the console extension (see screen shot at the bottom of the page
here).
It has been a while since I worked on this code but as I remember, once I got the references straightened out (see this thread), a lot of the confusion I had was just understanding that some of the programming that had to be done was in WPF (not WinForm).
The sample code from Microsoft does work though.
I never was able to figure out how to tie the "tree node menu item" functionality into the Ribbon (at the top of the SCCM console) so that is still on my TODO list.
So, my advice to you is to start with the Microsoft example code (which I did) from the SCCM SDK and if you get compile time errors, look first for the SCCM assembly references (Microsoft.[ConfigurationManagement, ConfigurationManagement.ManagementProvider,
EnterpriseManagement.UI.Foundation, EnterpriseManagement.UI.WpfViews) and then at the WPF assembly references (PresentationCore, PresentationFramework) for missing class references.
I hope this information can help you. Good luck sir!

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.

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 <u>viewing</u> 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

Issues in persisting dynamic entity and view objects using MDS

Hi All,
I'm trying to create dynamic entity and view objects per user session and to persist these objects throughout the session, I'm trying to use MDS configurations(either file or Database) in adf-config.xml.
I'm facing following two errors while trying to run the app module:
1. MDS error (MetadataNotFoundException): MDS-00013: no metadata found for metadata object "/model/DynamicEntityGenModuleOperations.xml"

Hi Frank,
I m trying to save entity and view object xml by calling writeXMLContents() and saveXMLContents() so that these objects can be retrieved using the xmls later on.
These methods internally use MDS configuration in adf-config.xml, which is creating the issue.
Please share your thoughts on resolving this or if, there is any other way of creating dynamic entity/view objects for db tables created at runtime.

After AVG PC Tune up, software update message for security and stability update is available FireFox 3.6.18. Should I Update?

My Dell laptop (Operating on Windows XP) was hit with multiple viruses - I could not open Mozilla Firefox or any other applications for that matter. After much time and many attempts, I was finally able to install and run an AVG Scan and then an AVG PC Tune up. 4,559 problems found and repaired. After the repairs, I received the following message:
"Software Update - A security and stability update for Firefox is available: Firefox 3.6.18 - It is strongly recommended that you apply this update for Firefox as soon as possible. - an underlined link reading, "View more information about this update" and then 2 choices - "Ask Later" or "Update Firefox." Since part of the problem was with Firefox and some error messages pointed to that, I'm hesitant to click on any of the three options above. Can you help me to get past this error message, please. I am sending this from my home computer. Thank you. Diane

Sometimes the updater gets in a funny state - Go to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and download the full installer. Close Firefox and run the installer
