MDM Matrix Application

Hi All,
i need help in understanding how we can leverage MDM Matrix Applicaiton functionality in MDM to manage article master particularily variants. How does this application works and can we use this application in standalone MDM instance or do we require web services such as portal to be configured with MDM to make use of this functionality.
Any helpful documents would be great help.
Thanks

MDM- Matrix Application Installation (.EAR)

Hello,
I would like to install the Matrix Application EAR file on the WebAS as mentioned in the installation guide. It says "Install the .EAR files on Web AS using the SDM in the SAP NetWeaver Developer". How do I proceed with that? I tried deploying the .EAR with the SDM directly but it resulted in the error. Am I missing something here???
This is kind of important and urgent. please help.
Best regards,
Dharmi

Matrix Application

Hi Guys
I want to use the functionality of the Matrix product where one create a master product and then creates variants. I am not using SAP retail but I am implementing a product master for a e - commerce company . They have a variety of products that they sell on line . The requirements is to implement something like the martix appl where we create a master and then create a variant, My question to you all is whether I can use Matrix appl as it is to even when I am not using the Article repository . What should i do to make the application work . Does somebody has any details and documentation apart from what I get on SMP. ?
Thanks

Yes you are right in saying that the Matrix application is suitable while using MDM with a Retail system. However, this fuctionality is used to create Master records and its variants.
I have not worked on this application of MDM, however as far as i understand, if you want to create variants with Products, it should support your requirement. The article below talks about selling products online.
Please refer to this article below:

This can guide you on steps needed to be followed to set this up. Please test it for your requirement.
There is very less documentation available available on Matrix Application. I found this article very helpful and informative.
Hope this helps.

Interface of Matrix application

Hi all
In my company they use a matrix application which is basically for the sales people with PDAs , jobs assigned to them...etc
Can any body tell me how a diff application can be interfaced with SAP and where, which place I have to look it for.
cheers
AJ

Hi Florian,
No its not possible to use the SAP Portal as web proxy to your other web-app.
From my experiance I can tell you to stop searching/trying on the serverside fetching part, it wil not do wat you want.
There is only one solution direction and that is that you place some kind of reverse proxy in front of your Portal...
This reverse proxy solution (I keap it abstract as there are multiple solutions for this) should listen on the WWW and translate requests to the right servers.
For example calls to "/" could be translated to "/irj/portal/" and back
But also "/yourotherapp" can be translated to "http://yourotherappserver:port/yourotherapp and back
Resulting in that all calls to http://yourexternalurl/ will go to SAP Portal and all requests to http://yourexternalurl/yourotherapp will go to your other app. When this works you can use the URL or Intergrater iView using the default client side fetching.
I know that it is possible with Apache as a reverse proxy so I guess (and hope for you) that its also possible with ISA.
Good luck,
Benjamin Houttuin

MDM Custom Application using WD - WDJ / WDA preferred?

Hello,
Is there any preferred approach in developing custom WD application for MDM? So far we see that MDM Java APIs are used from WDJ application.
I came to know that WDA can also be used? Which is a preferred approach? Guess MDM Java API's are more matured to handle custom applications.
Any hints?
Thanks,
Dhanz

A very good question.
Being from Java b/g i would say Java, but to be fair, in my project we are using both MDM java for the front end and ABAP for data load. The issues that we faced in ABAP were
- The user id has to be passed in Upper Case, though MDM user ids are case sensitive, for ABAP it accepted user ids in only Upper case.
- Some limitations in Matching strategy
I would personally prefer Java over ABAP any day as Java being more extendible and as SAP suggests, use ABAP only if you are staying with in ECC. If your landscape comprises of systems outside ECC/SAP, stay with Java.
Cheers!!!

Issue of Discard/Save Changes popup in MDM WDC application

Hi All,
I am facing an issue in a WDJ application involving usage of MDM WDC Components.After editing in item details component,we are setting record id as -1 so as to clear the item details and trigger a bpm process.We are protecting the record after submission.But on submission we are getting a popup window asking for Discard/Save changes .This occurs randomly.What could possibly cause this.Any pointers regarding this will be helpful.
Regards,
Apoorva Dave
Edited by: Apoorva_Dave on Sep 12, 2011 1:42 PM

Hi Apoorva,
Before setting -1 in your item details try to write following line of code.
wdthis.wdget<Itemdetails>interface.cancelRecord();
I hope it helps.

Matrix Application Error - in the WEB pane

Hello,
After successful installation of the Matrix .EAR files now when we try to see Matrix in the WEB pane, it results in error "An Error has occurred Please see log for details".
Can somebody please address the following questions?:
1. Where is the log file located that I can check for details?
2. Is there a demo already available with the data that can be looked into as example?
3. Is there an description available how one can set up the Matrix scenario, something like the Business Package guide that we have for MDM iviews?
I would await a quick response if possible. Thanks much.

Matrix in MDM

Hi all
can someone explain the concept of matrix in MDM and how is it used for storing Variants for the same product?
What will be the performance issue if any?Do we have any restrictions on number of master and slave relationships?
Can anyone who has worked on this scenario justify its usefulness?
No links please.
Thanks in advance
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
Though I have not actually worked on Matrix but will share how much I know and the stuff i had collected.
Please refer to the link below that contains the fair information about Matrix and also how to configure it.Refer from page no. 12.One more suggestion from my side is:Use SAP's standard shipped Article repository because it is configured for the Matrix application so you have to do few things only.
[https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/installMDM] -> Installation -> MDM 5.5 SP06 IT Scenario Configuration Guide
Once your repository is Matrix enabled (by right clicking on the repository and enabling the Matrix support property), Add Master option will be enabled in the Data manager.By which you can actually create Master and variants relationship but this functionality will be visible only through iViews that u will deploy on your portal (stated in the document mentioned above).
Once you have created Master and its variants and they are sharing some common fields(whose Matrix type have been selected as Master in the Console) then if you change the Master field of the master record, it will be reflected in the corresponding variants also.
Note: If you add the record using Add Master option then that record cannot be deleted unless you have configured all the necessary settings.So it would be better if you try this on some dummy repository.

MDM Security Requirements

Hello All:
I am new to MDM Security Administration and would like to know how and what controls are available in the system. (Example controls on able, fields etc)?
I am trying to compile a Task/Function Matrix which will help the functional teams convey their access requirement in the system.
Help is much appreciated.
Khurram

Hi Khurram,
I am new to MDM Security Administration and would like to know how and what controls are available in the system. (Example controls on able, fields etc)?
I am trying to compile a Task/Function Matrix which will help the functional teams convey their access requirement in the system.
MDM security is largely maintained by the presence of roles and users. We can have roles defined in MDM which will have proper authorizations. We can then create users and then assign them roles so that we can maintain the security in MDM. This all can be done through MDM console.
These authorizations ensures that only users who have access or read/write authorization will be able to perform theie respective tasks.
This is what is mentioned in SAP Help documentation in this regard.
A.              MDM Repository Security
A traditional SQL DBMS allows you to define basic user-level security to prevent unauthorized access to the database. You can specify the tables to which each user has access, granting at the table level either: (1) no access to the table; or (2) complete read/write access to the table, including access to all of its fields and records.
By contrast, MDM supports a dramatically more flexible multidimensional security scheme that provides much more granular control over which users can access an MDM repository, which functions they can perform, and which tables, fields, and records they can access. The MDM security scheme includes:
●      Users. A user represents an entity that can connect to and access the MDM repository. Each user has a user name and password, and is assigned one or more roles that collectively specify the complete set of privileges for that particular user.
●      Roles. Each role specifies a set of privileges to access each of the MDM repositoryu2019s tables, fields, lookup record values, and records, and to perform each of the repository functions. The same role can be assigned to more than one user.
●      Privileges. For each repository function, you can either prevent or allow the role to perform the function, and for each table and field, you can grant the role full read/write access or read-only access.
●      Constraints. For the Masks table and some lookup tables (those referenced by at least one single-valued lookup field and no multi-valued lookup fields), you can specify the set of masks or lookup values that should be visible and accessible for the role.
Precisely defining each role u2013and then assigning one or more roles to each useru2013 provides very fine control over who can access an MDM repository and how they can access it.
You can define repository security from within the MDM Console by working on the following administrative tables, which are located under a repositoryu2019s Admin node in the Console Hierarchy tree:
●      Roles. Defines the sets of functional permissions, access privileges, and record constraints that can be assigned to MDM user names.
●      Users. Defines the MDM user names that can access the MDM repository and manages their role assignments.
Within a SQL-based DBMS, you can use views to precisely control field- and record-level access by various users. However, views are cumbersome to manage, and more importantly, degrade system response, often creating severe performance bottlenecks.
B.                  Console-Level Repository Security
Recall that MDMu2019s multi-level security model supports granular, role-based repository access to functions and data from within MDM client applications. This multi-level security model extends to administrative functions within the MDM Console itself.
The MDM Console security scheme includes:
●      Users
Repository administrators must connect to an MDM repository with an MDM user name and password before any administrative tasks can be performed in the MDM Console.
●      Roles
The roles assigned to an administratoru2019s MDM user name determine which administrative functions are permitted or restricted for that administrator in the MDM Console.
●      Privileges
Administrative, Schema, and Change Tracking functional groups on the Roles table enable granular control over access to all MDM Console functions.
With these features, you can precisely define limited administrative roles for each of your administrators or administrative tasks. You can then assign these targeted roles to users instead of the Admin role, which retains full access to all MDM privileges.

MDM Last Login History table?

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone was aware if the last date/time login history of a mdm user to a repository is actually stored in one of the DBMS tables for a repository schema. We are aware of the Audit xml log file that tracks actions of when a user logs into a repository - but we are trying to find out if this is already recored in one of the MDM database tables so we can more easily make use of last login time for custom development.
Thanks.

Hi David,
You can try out this...... goin the Console client in the system tables check the Login Table. But this you will get records that MDM maintains which corresponds to a currently connected MDM client application, along with the connection time and time since last access, allowing you to monitor connection activity.
Name: The user name.
Host Name: The system on which the MDM client is running.
Application Name: The MDM application (e.g. Client, API, Import Manager).
Connection Time: The date and time the connection was established.
Last Activity Time: The date and time the connection was last accessed.
Hope this helps you ...............
