MDM - GDS - AS2

Hi,
on one presentaiton about MDM - GDS
I've noticed that SAP says: GDS provides out of the box connectivity to
GDSN (via AS2 adapter)
does it mean that GDS includes some As2 adapter ?
as XI does include this adapter in standard
or do we need to buy it ?
Thank you very much,
Regards,
michal

Hi Michael,
SAP provides out of the box connectivity to the data pool 1Sync which is part of the GDSN.
An AS2 adapter is not part of the shipment of the MDM-GDS solution, though it is required to use one. But we do have a reseller agreement with Seeburger and therefore their AS2 adapter can be acquired from us.
Kind regards

URGENT::Regarding MDM GDS

Hi SDNers,
WE seek your help regarding syndicating data out from SAP MDM GDS.
Could you explain the required configurations to be made in SAP MDM GDS and SAP XI for successfully sendig data out from MDM GDS?
Any help in this regard would be rewarded.
PS: SAP Configuration Guide is being referred which suggests use of GDS_DP_Out interface in IR of SAP XI. Kindly share knowledge in this regard, if any.

SAP MDM-GDS repository structure

Hi,
Does anybody have any input or knowledge of SAP's direction regarding repository structures for MDM and GDS now that they've begun integrating the functions into the MDM solution the offer?
At present, whilst the GDS Console is basically just accessing data in an MDM repository, it can't be your core MDM product data repository, but rather it has to be a separate one, set up specifically for GDS and nothing else, and thus it needs to be populated separately. I am wondering if this is a long term vision, or just a result of the way the package has been developed and that further integration will be forthcoming.
Any ideas?
Steve

Hello lis716
I'm not recomend working with SAP MDM database directly moreover modify some data at Database level because database structure is close information. (i had expiriens to mass upload users and their roles directly in MDM database, after that operation repository hasn't been started - repair returned a lot of errors and i was very happy when repository has been started)
You can lost important data because database structure may be modify in any time.
SAP MDM provide API for different development platforms as is .NET, ABAP, JAVA, COM.
My suggestion you should use API in your application for connect to data.
Additional information about API you can find here:

General availability of MDM GDS 2.1, which NetWeaver Version is supported?

MDM GDS

Hi,
Do we need to know java programing to work on GDS Console.
Thanks,
MS Reddy

Hi,
Java programming is no where related to working on GDS Console. GDS console is a UI, where you perform various functions and publish your data to the trade partners. So you can work on GDS console, even if you do not know Java.
Hope this is helpful.

Java Program in MDM to call a standard java class

Hi All,
In MDM- GDS, (Global Data Synchronization), we have a scenario where, once we register the Items , it will be transported to a Data Pool called 1SYNC through SAP PI.
There is a standard Java PRoxy(Kind of java Class) in MDM, which will be triggered once we register the Item in MDM-GDS.
That Java Proxy will send the Item INfo as a XML message to PI.
So we would like to know whether its possible to automate this process.
Like,Writing a new Java Program which will check all the new items and trigger the Java Proxy and send these items as XML Messages to PI.
I m new to MDM. So it would be really helpful, If i could get some inputs on this. Like, is it possible in MDM. If so, how?

Aarthi,
you can acheive this from MDM itself, and need not to write any Java proxy.
you may consider following logic.
Create a field with the Name Status and Initilize it with Value "new". Now define syndicaiton Map to syndicate records which holds value "new" in the status field. define a workflow with syndication step, using maps defined earlier. After syndication step, execute an assignment to change Status field value from "New" to "Syndicated".
Revert back if any question.

Error connecting MDM system from XI through Java proxies-standard component

Dear Friends
We are trying to connect to the MDM system from XI through Java proxies(i.e standard components),in relation to that we have done the following:

Hi ,
   I found a document which says that MDM4J is the legacy API and is considered deprecated .The MDM Java API is the new one .I have both of them in the java build path . I am not sure if this is that cause of the problem .
Now I had a look at the javadoc for the new API but I am not able to locate the class to obtain a connection to the MDM server from a custom application being built in Netweaver Developer Studio . Can someone help me out with the same ?What would be the code to obtain the connection to the MDM server with the new JAVA API ?

SAP GDS implementation Case Studies

Hi,
One quick question:
Is anybody aware of any case studies related to SAP MDM GDS implementation?
Thanks in advance.
Shah

Hello Alexander,
let me introduce myself, I am the program manager responsible for GDS within SAP.
Could you give me a detailed example of what you refering to with regards to fundamental design changes?
We keep on evolving the solution to the changing market needs as well as, to required changes in the GS1 standard and updates from data pools but I fail to see fundamental changes.
In addition I would like to remark that "automating the GDS functionality" as you stated most likely will include modifying the solution in several areas. These specific changes could be lost during updates, yes, though I would say, then not the product is to be blamed.
Kind regards

GDS/1SYNC Schema

Hello,
We are going to implement the SAP GDS Console (SAP MDM-GDS) on SP06. However, how does this tie in to the 1SYNC schema version? If 1SYNC decides to upgrade the schema, how do we do that on the GDS console/XI? Do we need to upgrade the entire GDS console? Also, what is the easiest way to tell what schema version we are on?
Thank you.

Carley Hi,
One of the features of GDS 6.0 is its flexibility. When 1Sync upgrades or updates fields, you have the capabilities to change these on your own. For example if they add a new field you can add this field with the MDM console and then use the UI configuration in the GDS Console to add the field to any tab you choose.
The GDS version is alswys displayed on the upper left of the Internet Explorer
hope this helps,
Stanley Levin.

Hi John,
GDS is Global Data Synchronization.We can work with MDM along with GDS to get the Data and process standarized as per the GS1 Standards.
To know more in detail about this you can refer the MDM GDS Guide and other related docs in the below link:

How to configure GDS console

Hi MDM-GDS experts,
I would like to fill the property sheet with dummy values .Would someone give me idea how to fill with dummy values so that i can work on.
Server -> services -> configuration adapter -> apps -> sap.cpm -> GDS -> appcfg -> propertysheet application
Kind Regards

MT,
1. I can only speak on my own experience in setting up the ODI console, but my understanding is that the console is configured against a single master repository - the connection details are picked up when the WebLogic server starts. If I'm wrong, I'm sure one of the gurus will correct me.
2. I haven't come across a way to do this - I'm using 11.1.1.5. Aside from my initial go-live, I tend to only promote individual scenarios across environments. For the rare occasion when I need to do a larger bulk import I'll just use ODI Studio.

Hi Richard,
IN the API you have provided, Do we have a feasibility to update a Table in MDM GDS (TMData which has many lookup and qualified tables) in one short.
As of now, we are able to insert record for 3 fields, which we are trying to insert feild by field.
but our requirement is we have to insert data for 185 fields and read the fields of 240 feilds.
Need your advice on this.

GDS repository for MDM server

Greetings,
A couple questions for GDS experts...
1. Is there a GDS repository for MDM server? I am asking about an .a2a file. I am not able to find one. Could you please guide me to the location from where I can download it? Thanks.
2. When we extract data from ERP, it is stored on MDM server. This much I gathered from different presentations but in which repository does it go to?
3. If there is an MDM repository for GDS solution then can we modify it and add more fields to it?
Regards,
-T

Hi,
I checked the directory listing of the folder where I extracted that zip file and as you can see below there is no a2a file.
