MDM Monitoring

Hi All,
I a newbie here and this is my first post - so please bear with me!!!
Regarding the CCMS plug-ins that can be installed so you can monitor the MDM system; are these plug-ins standalone, or do you also need to install WebAS too? Is this the only method for monitoring MDM - and if you have to install WebAS anyway, why not just use the standard Netweaver monitoring functionality (Alert Management etc)...confused - a little.
Any help / advice appreciated.
Many thanks
Tim.

Hi Timothy,
You need to have Web Application Server for CCMS. You can also use Solution Manager for Monitoring MDM.
The above two methods as well as other MDM Stand alone monitoring via Logs etc is explained in the MDM 5.5 SP3 Solution Operation Guide <a href="http://service.sap.com/instguides">MDM 5.5 SP3 Solution Operation Guide</a> under the path SAP Netweaver/Release 04/Operations.
I personally never worked on any of the above Netweaver monitoring tools (CCMS and SM).
All the best !
Hope this helps,
Rajani Kumar

MDM monitoring setup

Hello All,
I'm in the process of monitoring setup for my MDM environment
MDM 5.5
SP6 - patch3
I've gone through some notes for SMD setup, but need more information.
Also, need information on CCMS monitoring setup for MDM.
Please let me know if any of you have the step-by-step kind of document for MDM monitoring setup.
Any kind of pointers to startup will be very helpful.
Thank you.

Recommendation for MDM monitoring tool

Dear all
We are using MDM 5.5 Sp06 on HP Unix. What should we use as an monitoring tool?
CCMS and SMD is not supported for the above combination.
Please suggest. Thanks in advance.
Regards
Ravi

Thanks Markus for the reply.
SMD is not supported for MDM 5.5 sp06 on HP UNIX platform. We got this confirmed in one of the SAP OSS message also.
since MDM 5.5 SP06 P4 we are supporting CCMS heartbeat again. The documentation is almost finished and waits for last rework - will be provided soon
We are not using P4, but if you can share the documentation or provide the link, it will help a lot.
Just to re-confirm CCMS heartbeat is supported for SP06 P4 on HP Unix. Can you please confirm this?
Thanks in Advance-

PDFs do not open after iOS 7.1 update

I've got several employees that now report not being able to view PDFs on the iPad 4 now that they have updated the iOS to 7.1. The PDFs will open fine on their laptops and PCs, so they are not corrupt files. We've tried using the default Quick Look, Bluebeam Revu, and Adobe Reader.
I tested the exact same PDF files on an iPad 4 that was still running 7.0.xx and the files opened perfectly fine with all three apps mentioned above. Once I updated that iPad to 7.1, it behaved like my other employee's iPads.

Did a full backup of iPad to desktop iTunes.
Did a reset of all apps and data on the iPad.
Performed restore from iTunes.
Also removed from MDM monitoring, removed all MDM profiles.
No change in behavior. On an occasion where a PDF will consistently open, it appears to be from a copier scan and not one that was created in another application and then converted to PDF (like architectural CAD drawings). We access building drawings in PDF all day long from different sources. We never had this issue before iOS7.1 was released.
Some PDFs will open in Quick Look, some in Adobe Reader and some in Bluebeam Revu (or Vu). Most don't open at all in Quick Look or cause Bluebeam to crash (back to home screen). Adobe Reader says the file is corrupt. But ALL of them will open on laptop or desktop computer.
Any other suggestions are welcome...

Monitoring and transports in MDM 5.5 sp6

Hi all,
Monitoring:
In mdm 5.5 sp6 once you create your repository, how do you monitor it regularly??
lets say i need to upload a excel file every day via import manager and syndicate it.
i schedule it using windows scheduler.
Now,is there any specific location where i can look at whether the my repository is working fine are it is runing through errors?
and Normally how do we monitor a repository ?
Transports:
I learnt that once you create a repository , if you wish to move from ur dev to qa, then..
1) we need to archive the rep,
2) copy the file to archive directory of quality system
3) unarchive in qa
is this the correct way of transportation involved in MDM.(5.5 sp6)??
or do we have any other process to move the repositories?
If you move the a2a file in the above mention way, do our rules, strategies, validations be created automaticallly in qa or we need to create them manually again in qa ??
Thanks in advance
Regards
phani

HI Phani
when you say mdm console,can you tell me where init?
Under each repository you will also find reports which contains useful LOGS and information. GO through them for monitoring different actions done on MDM. Similarly at the server level you can access the LOg files which you can find in consle at the bottom.
transports:
when you say schema are you talking about the input or output structure schema that we upload in 'schema' under admin folder in console ??
Transporting the repository can happen in 2 ways:
1. using the a2a file as described by you. this is exact replica of the repo with all data, Matching etc.
2. Creating a new repo from one environment to another using "Import Schema" option. For this first you need to export the repository schema from console.
please close the thread if answered.
best regards

Monitoring MDM v2.1 with JMX or Weblogic ?

Hi all,
I would like to monitor my MDM application that is in production now and I read that we can use JMX. My question is what is the difference between monitoring a MDM application with weblogic versus JMX ?
Many thanks.

The demo you loaded is for Weblogic server, not for glassfish. You can't just deploy the demo and run it.
I'm not even sure it has been done jet, but may be someone has successfully done it.
Have you searched (google) for a solution?

Ho to monitor that vendors delivered files on time to MDM

Hi all
I have one more question regarding monitoring. This time is about how can we monitor that our vendors / partners / colleagues from other departments delivered files to proceed by MDM on time?
Our MDM system starts to grow and play very important role in our organization. We have to assure that all data are up to date. Here is very important that our MDM systems works with no problems and all potential problems which we can notice in Exceptions folders can be discovered and solved asap.
Here is also one more task we have to assure. That is processing all requests scheduled in MDM. Sometimes it happens that we have complaining uses using BW about missing data. We have to spend time to investigate case, involve different departments and solution is our external vendors did not delivered filers for us on time. To avoid this kind of situation I am looking for any kind of solution.
Do you have any opinions, comments, solutions, basically whatever idea to monitor that files are delivered on time please share?
Thank you in advance.
I know maybe that is difficult topic but is seems in our organization seems to be important.

Rafal Paczynski

Hi Rafal
You must be usinh PI for getting the files from external parties into MDM ready folders.
All the files placed follow a naming convention and also have a time stamp appended in the name. If not this can be easily achieved in PI.
Now the requirement is to know if all the files placed came on time. This can be easily found out by seeing the files placed in Archive folder for the previous days, their names will have the timestamp also.
Over the period you can also delete the older files from the archive folder( files older than a month?) using batch job/ Script.
hope this helps-

MDM 5.5 SP6 install and post-install config - SLDREG related question

Hello,
I've just installed MDM 5.5 SP6 on Oracle/Solaris and have the server running with no problems, repositories loaded, etc. I do receive the following error in the MDM Console which I understand to mean the sldreg utitlity cannot be found.
Error: Unable to register server in System Landscape Directory: Call to SLDREG Utility in /usr/sap/sldreg failed, Error = 0x100.
Set proper value for parameter 'SLDReg Utility Path' in server configuration file.
If you are not using SLD, set parameter 'SLD Registration' to false in server configuration file so that the server does not try to register with SLD. This will avoid this error in the future.
My questions are:
1. should there be an ABAP install on the same box which would create the file structure referenced above?
2. or can this parameter be set to look at a different /usr/sap directory?
3. Or can I just drop that utility in that directory ?
In other words, is there a recommendation to install an ABAP instance, thereby creating the referenced file structure on the same server as the MDM/Oracle instance? Or is there a workaround approach for this error.
Thanks in advance for your help

Can I monitor multiple iPad screens on a single iPad?

I'm a teacher and we have distributed iPads to many of our students recently.
We have a few issues with ensuring the pupils are using the iPads as we have asked and are not using it to access social media, games and messaging etc during class time.
Is there an app that can be used to simultaneously monitor what each pupil in the class has on their iPad screen? Almost like ipad cctv!
We have tried Guided Access etc but that is obviously quite a laborious task with up to 20 iPads at one go.
Any ideas or advice would be excellent.
FIngers crossed!

Our teachers use Casper Focus to keep kids on track and locked into an app. You can't mirror/monitor the screen itself, but you can "see" the app that is in use, and can lock a particular app if you want. All this is done wirelessly via the Casper Focus app and the MDM.
Hope this helps!

Hi All,
Thanks for the reply. I have loaded the data into the cube 0figl_c10. Installed the virtual cube 0figl_v10 and also the query
0FIGL_V10_Q0001( Bal.Sheet and Profit and Loss (New):Actual/Actual Comparison ) from BI content. Extracted the hierarchies
for the infoobject 0GLACCEXT.In this hierarchy for some gl account in the field BAL_DEPEND ( Balance Dependency of a
Hierarchy Node ) the value is maintained as "1" "Suppress Balance if Positive" for some gl accounts and "2" "Suppress Balance
if Negative" and blank "No Balance Dependency" for some gl accounts.
We have a gl account 60380 for this gl, in the bal dependency field the value is maintained as 1 in Assets and 2 in Liabilities(
coming from R/3).
This gl is maintained both in assets and liabilities. I executed the report.
In a business area in a period the value for this gl is both +ve and -ve. But actually assets should show only +ve values and
liabilities should show only negative values.But this gl account is appearing in the node "Assets" only and the balances have
both the values i.e +ve and -ve.
As per the setting in the field BAL_DEPEND i.e 1 in Assets, the postive values should be suppressed.
But it is not suppressing the postive values. It is showing both the values under only assets node.
I changed the bal depedencey value to 2 in the assets to see whether it suppresses -ve values but also it is not suppressing.
Any solution or explanation ?

Data Import from SAP R/3 to SAP MDM 7.1 without SAP PI

Hi All,
I have a requirement to import Vendor Master data from SAP R/3 to SAP MDM 7.1 on a regular basis. What are the Options available for data transfer between these two systems without any middleware(like SAP PI,etc). I checked the SAP Documentation and found the scenarios with SAP PI as middleware.
I have few very basic ideas:
1) Will there be any way for SAP MDM to pick a file from certain location and load the data..
2) Shall I use MDM ABAP API to write a program to connect to MDM Repository and schedule this at regular intervals to achieve the data transfer.
Pls suggest the best design approach..
Thanks in advance.

1) Will there be any way for SAP MDM to pick a file from certain location and load the data..
ANS : No, MDM will not pick up the file, file can be pick up from MDM Inbound folder and send from outbound folder for automize process and for MDM manual Process you can pick up and send file to local desktop, network shared path
2) Shall I use MDM ABAP API to write a program to connect to MDM Repository and schedule this at regular intervals to achieve the data transfer.
ANS : require to write code at ABAP side
so ABAP program will pick or send data file to MDM folder
Note following point
1. Require to write ABAP Program which will pick or send data file to MDM outbound / Inbound folder
2. Require to do some technical setting for ABAP program at SAP side, technical person will help regarding this matter
Note : There are many disadvantage and time consuming procss, monitoring file and it is not advisable to go without any intermidiate software for e.g PI, Tibco
Thanks,

Transfer the data from MDM to SAP R/3

Hi,
I have to transfer the material master data from MDM to R/3.I have syndicated the data and put the file in the .xsd format in the ready folder of the repository.Now I have to transfer this file to R/3 , one way is through XI(XI will pick the file from the current location and an IDOC from there will pass this data to R/3. The other way I was thinking a UNIX script can do it. The UNIX script will run and pick the data from ready folder and pass it to R/3.If somebody of you has done similar thing kindly reply.
Regards,
Ashutosh

The best method of integrating MDM with R/3 is to use XI (PI). There are a couple of reasons for this, but most importantly you can use the IDoc adapter to turn your XML message into an IDoc and send it to R/3. This has a lot of advantages because IDocs are very easy to monitor, troubleshoot, and reprocess in the event of an error. IDocs are definitely the preferred method of integration with R/3, therefore using PI is a very good idea. A few years back I wrote a blog about how to configure XI for an interface between MDM and R/3, perhaps it will help you:

While it is possible to use a batch script, it's not recommended. You would still have to write a load program (LSMW or some other type of load program) on the R/3 side. Monitoring and troubleshooting is going to be more cumbersome, because you also have to monitor the message flow on the UNIX system. If PI is serving as the middleware it does the end-to-end monitoring for you.

MDM Log / EPCF Eventing in Result and Item Details Iview

Hi,
I have EP7 with SP15 and MDM 6.0, recently upgraded. Before upgrade we have an application which uses the MDM iviews and maps the fields of one table to other and displays in some other iview.
The application was working fine before upgrade of MDM. But after upgrade, the mapping seems not working.
My scenario is as : Using MDM Search iview, I search records from MDM repository, Main Table. This result is displayed in MDM Result iview. From this result iview, I select a record. From this selected record, a field is mapped to the other table. The mapped record, then, is displayed in MDM Details Iview.
After MDM upgrade, whenever we select a record from the result of table 1,the mapped iview throws erros :
Error occurred: Error performing search. com.sap.mdm.internal.protocol.manual.ServerException: Illegal value for parameter, com.sap.mdm.internal.protocol.manual.ServerException: Illegal value for parameter (see log for details)
when serached log : Key is not found in table:<Table1>-KeyMappings it may have been deleted or renamed, please use editor to fix the problem##
We have used EPCF eventing for MDM iviews.
I have written some code to check the values passed from Result Iview and seen that the values are being passed correctly...Now think, i should also have a check in MDM how the values are recieved and mapped...
Any idea how I can use MDM log service to do this? Or any idea how I can enable MDM log to monitor what comes in and what goes out?
has anyone out there faced same issue ?
Please let me know your views.
Regards,
Abhijeet

Solved at my own. The MDM SP6 needs the subtable key field to be TEXT type.
