MDM Platform Question

Hi,
We were running MDM on a 32-bit Windows machine but were running into problems with our larger repositories. We have switched to a 64-bit Windows server running 64-bit MDM. However, we were unable to procure a 64-bit version of SQL-Server. Our 64-bit MDM instance has been locking up at least once a day requiring the MDM services to be stopped and restarted.
Is a 64-bit version of SQL-Server needed if running a 64-bit version of MDM?
Thanks,
Vince Moore

Hi Vince,
What do you concider "large".. I don't know a solution but would like to understand the limitations a bit,
Thx,
Dirk

Lightroom and processing platform question

I have posted a version of this question on PS, but it is LR where it really matters.
Some eons ago, I was a PS user and found my then-current machine had features which PS was not using. Cannot remember the fine detail, we are talking PS5 or 6...
So, now I am contemplating buying a new i7 based machine with umpteen GB of memory and super graphics board. All these raise questions:can LRuse the speed features of the i7, can they use the umpteen GB, switch into the graphics stuff.
I am fed up with the P4 3.2GHz, 3GB, GeForce 9800GT platform I have - it stumbles and makes me wait (.always Loading... taking seconds). will I end up finding things not much better on a platform potentially 50 times faster? Or is 50 times faster just a dream?
If someone replies that their xxx with yyy goes like lightning, they will not be actually answering the question. I want to know if LR (and PS) can use all the bells and whistles available to them as processes - are they 64-bit so able to use the nnGB... etc etc
Thanks...

LR and PS can use multiple cores, perhaps not all 6 if you get a $1000 CPU--I base that on a benchmark that had LR running the same on both a quad and hex-core although no details were available on what the LR portion of the benchmark was doing. LR and PS both have 64-bit editions.
CS4-PS takes advantage of the GPU for certain things, but LR seems to only be sped up by the OS using the GPU more, not LR using the GPU, specifically, itself.
CS5 and LR3 are just around the corner and we don't know everything GPU-wise they will take advantage of, although there are reports that CS5-Premier Pro will only use CUDA (nVidia) not OpenCL (ATI) because OpenCL is buggy, still.
50-times-faster would be a benchmark that can use all the cores to their fullest, whereas LR does some things in parallel but not nearly everything, so the speedup will vary depending on what you do.
I am about ready to build myself a i7 960 machine and expect LR and PS to be very fast on it. I am not sure if I'll try using an SSD or not for the OS. If I go with what I'm leaning towards at the moment, a Gigabyte GA X58A-UD7, it would likely have USB3 on a couple of the USB ports with a 6Gbps speed that a few peripherals can use. It also has SATA3, which is half that speed, but faster than SATA2. I don't know as I will be overclocking it, much, which depends on the cooling setup, so maybe the MB is overkill and I'll go for something cheaper.

MDM Syndicator Question

Hi,
I have a question on the MDM syndicator.
Can the MDM Syndicator handle the following business case... or do you need to have XI in the middle ?
MDM would need to send
(a) New data to each of 3 connected systems
(b) Changed data to each of the system for which there is an external key present.
I know the suppress unchanged records and suppress the records without a key option.. but these don't seem to be sufficient.
Thx,
Dirk

Hello Dirk:
As you ask about using XI, the answer is yes, MDM cannot interact (as syndication goes) with any system, it only exports the data either on txt flat files, or XML files, so XI, or any broker for that matter, is needed.
Sending data to new previously empty systems is also posible, just set up a new Client System and create its correspondient syndication map.
I hope that helps
Regards
Alejandro

Cisco ISE 1.2 MDM Integration Question

I have a working Cisco ISE 1.2.1 install which I've performed the integration to our MobileIron server. The "integration test" reports that the integration is good, but whenever ISE verifies MDM compliance, registration, etc.. with MobileIron when a mobile device connects it always reports that all statuses are good even if they aren't.
My test phone is out of compliance on Mobileiron because of an unapproved app, but when the phone connects ISE believes the MDM compliance status is good. I'm not sure if it isn't really checking with MDM or if the Mobileiron server is reporting erroneous results.
I also saw in a video that the phone has to be registered with MobileIron through ISE. Is this correct? I don't plan to on-board devices with MobileIron through ISE, it will be done directly through MobieIron (not connected to the Wifi network).
I only want ISE to check the compliance status of the device against MobileIron and quarantine if it isn't compliant or MDM registered.
Any help would be appreciated

Saurav and others,
Unfortunately, on-boarding sets some attribute fields on the endpoints that will then allow them to participate in a policy. It is nice that we all have MDM integration working but we almost need another class of on-boarding for corporate devices that are already in the MDM of choice (where we prefer to manage them!)
There is a little documented feature in ISE.
It appears to me that;
the on-boarding turns on the following states for the endpoint;
BYODRegistration
No ( No becomes Yes)
DeviceRegistrationStatus
NotRegistered (becomes Registered)
( The device is actually registered in MobileIron - this means did ISE register with MI. )
No MI attributes will work without this magic. TAC engineers I have dealt with don't seem to understand this feature.
This is definitely an enhancement that is needed.

Cross platform question

I made a DVD that plays fine on my Mac but won't play on a PC running either XP or Vista. What can I do to correct this? It was very embarrassing and almost cost me a gig.

What kind of DVD? Did you make a VIDEO DVD and if so did you use iDVD to make it?
If so, it should play on any computer regardless of platform which has a DVD player application.

Value Mapping Table - XI MDM Design Question

Hi All,
I have a scenario as :
When XI receives data from a sender system,before sending data to receiver system (in this case MDM),XI is supposed to check some fields in MDM and depending on the result XI should decide whether to send the records or not.
Now,in this case I have two options:
1.After recieving data from sender system ,from XI mapping call a webservice(webservice is supposed to go to MDM and check the fields and give the result),then depending on the result XI will decide whether to send or not.
2.After receving data from sender system,from XI mapping access a value look table in XI from a UDF and then check the result,then depending on the result XI will decide whether to send or not.
I have pointed out some glitches for every option:
1.First considering volume of XI source message( approx. 800 records per message),then MDM database records (approx 40000 or 50000).Hence once XI receives message XI will have to go to MDM for every record and every time it will search among 40000 MDM records using webservice.
This will effect performance as for every record webservice will be called and again it might face connection problems.
2.In this option XI will have to store all the 40000 records from MDM in the value lookup table.Again,how to synch up this value lookup table with MDM database?
This table has to be a copy of MDM database which changes everyday.
Is it ok to store around 40000 records in XI's value lookup table?
Considering above points can you please help me to find out optimum solution?
Thanks,
Shweta.

>>Is it ok to store around 40000 records in XI's value lookup table?
its advised to use value mapping for static values,not for dynamic values,since you will have changes everyday you should not use Value mapping here.
now coming to your first approach,why not copy this table from MDM to XI(i know XI is not the owner of data,but if its an internal MDM server,you should be able to do it),once the table is copied in XI itself,you can simply use ABAP mapping to create the receiver structure.
the above approach looks good to me as long as the MDM guys don't have any problem with XI storing the data as well and you sync up the table between XI and MDM periodically
Thanx

MDM schema questions

I am using
MDM Version 5.5 SP4 (5.5.33.13) on Windows XP
Please help me with the following
1. "Create Repository from Schema" option is not available in MDM console
2. How do I use the Business Content that comes with MDM to create schemas and import and syndication etc?
3. How do I use a2a files?
Thanks

Hi,
1. "Create Repository from Schema" option is not available in MDM console
Here you can create repository say Demo_Repo first by right click on your MDM Server Once the Repository is created Right click on your Demo_Repo and try using Export Repository Schema which is nothing but Create Repository From Schema.
2. How do I use the Business Content that comes with MDM to create schemas and import and syndication etc?
You dnt need to worry after downloading Business Content say for Article when you Archive this repository Everything you will get ready made except data means complete structure with required tables and fields, you have alredy created Ports etc.
3. How do I use a2a files?
Firstly you have to Place this .a2a files under your Archive folder as
C:\ProgramFiles\SAPMDM5.5\Server\Archives
where say C: Drive in which you have installed MDM Server
After placing files:
In MDM Console Right click on Server then Unarchive Repository then give your DBMS server: , Login, Password Credentials then give any repository Name say Susalra_Demo_Repo and select the respective archive name from drop down list then Finish. then you could see an ew repository is created under your MDM server with Name Suslra_Demo_Repo it take some time during unarchiving let it complete itself once it done then Load your Repository again it will take some time to get load
Hope it will Help you,
Rewards if found Useful....
Thanks,

Newbie JDBC's platform question

Hi!
While not necessarily to prgramming and Java, I am very new to JDBC, database and Linux.
I am using Windows, but I will have to develop a database Java for Linux. I am trying to learn JDBC with ODBC, but I have a feeling that ODBC is a Windows' thing? So what kind of Database would you suggest that I go with so that it will be easy to use JDBC and will be the same in both Windows and Linux?

Hi to everyone,
I am developing on MS SQL and OCBC Databases, anway i have a question.....
Is there any way to make a Java program copy your OCBC database info into the Data Sources (ODBC) when you run the program (.jar)?
I am asking because everytime i connect to a database, i have to add the Data Sources (ODBC) information manually
Please let me know if there is any solution to my broblem
Thanx in advance.....

46c with 46d_ext kernel sles and oracle platform question

Dear sap on linux community,
I currently have R/3 4.6c with 46d_ext kernel running on sles8 and ora 9204 (all 32-bit)
As part of an upgrade project I want to move current system to sles10 and oracle 10 (all 64-bit). I am using that note as a starting point.
According to the note oracle 9 client is required with ora10 db ?
Why is this ?
This leads to some conflicting results from pam.
pam states that it is supported to run ora10 64-bit on sles10.
But as far as I know it is not suported to install ora9 client on sles10.
Please explain.
Do I need a db server with sles10ora10 and a ci app server with sles9ora9 ?
Rgds, Eirikur.

Hello,
I strongly recommend you to take a look at the note <a href="http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/521230">521230: FAQ: Client software 9i or earlier on UNIX</a>
The oracle client to be used on a SAP system running on UNIX depends on the <b>KERNEL</b>
You are upgrading
- Your OS ( from SLES 8 to 10 )
- Your Oracle DB ( from 9i to 10g )
Your kernel is NOT changing, therefore the oracle client still is the same as before.
NOTE. Even when the oracle client still is 9i, you must have version 9.2.0.7 or 9.2.0.8
Please, do not confuse the oracle client version (9i) with the RDBMS version (10g)
There is no conflict with PAM. PAM talks about RDBMS version, not about client versions.
At the end you will have a DB server running oracle 10g (RDBMS) and CI/AS runing kernel 46D_EXT with Oracle <b>CLIENT</b> 9i

MDM - Beginner question(s)

We (Post Danmark) are just starting out with SAP and we are fairly certain that we are going to need some sort of Master Data Management approach (and perhaps tool).
We have a number of persons in the business that are responsible for the definition of one or more types of Master Data.
I would very much like to know more about what Master Data are needed in which modules/applications (in SAP).
What I'm are looking for is a list (per module/application) of what Master Data is required, when the module/application is installed without modifications.
Ie.
- SD needs Customer, Sales Price, Material/Product etc.
- CRM needs Customer, etc.
Does such lists exist, can they be extracted from R/3 or ... ?
Thanks (in advance),
Christian Roig

Hi Christian,
Both Solution Manager and it's predecessor (Value SAP framework), have good master data overview lists. The following is an extract straight from ASAP ( the full list is over 1000 lines long, so I'm not going to post it all, here).
If this looks good, let me know and we'll try and work out how to send you the full listing via email, rather than fill this forum with data.
Thanks, Andy

JDev Platform Question

I just returned from Open World and would like to set up JDev on my desktop. I am running windows 98, which according to previous postings in this forum, may or may not work. Should I just buy NT workstation and set up a dual boot on my computer? Any advice or suggestions appreciated.

do yourself a favor ....
don't waste your time trying to run it on win 95, 98 or me.
it's only certified for win nt 4 (sp5 or 6a are recommeneded for stability) or win 2000.

OID DIP (Directory Integration Platform) Question

Does anyone have any experience or knowledge with running numerous DIP Profiles on an OID? We're looking at 500+ DIP Profiles, each of them running very frequently, every few minutes. Will it be a problem for OID to handle this number of DIP Profiles?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!

We are syncing user information from a non-LDAP directory. Unfortunately, our DIT structure is such that certain types of users (as defined by geographic locations) are contained within separate folders. We have over 500 different "types" of users, each with their own place (container) in the tree. This removes the possibility of having one DIP mapping file. Each office has it's own mapping file and own config file that queries based upon said location.
Thanks.

Mixed platform question

I am going to be installing an ExtremeN (via cable modem) in a home with both apple and pc's. Is there anything I should do or know about working with this? I've set N's up with just apple computers in the past. Any WPA issues or just compatibility or reliability issues anyone has had.
thanks

The 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBSn) is compatible with both Macs and PCs equipped with either Ethernet or 802.11a/b/g/n wireless. Most issues arise when using WEP encryption, but usually can be overcome with just providing the AEBSn's Equivalent Wireless Password to the PCs. However, using WPA or WPA2, is highly recommended (as WEP is no longer considered to be secure) and usually doesn't pose a problem for either Macs or PCs suitably equipped.

Platform question

Nowadays, tablets seem to get better cpus (tegra2) and more memory. Flex tools, written in java, are meant to run anywhere.
Would it be feasible to install flex on a tablet? Is there a standalone (debug or normal) player running on android?

Flex has been available on mobile devices for quite a while. You can use Flash Builder 4.6 with Flex 4.6 to target Android, IOS and PlayBook. It uses the Adobe AIR runtime, which can be embedded in the app or installed manually (Android), compiled into the app (IOS) or built into the device (PlayBook).
BTW: Flex apps are written with ActionScript, not Java, but can often talk to server-side Java.
