MDM Print Publisher installation

We have MDM 7.1 SP07. MDS is on HPUX (Linux0 ver 11.31.
We want to install MDM Publisher.
Can we install MDM Layout Server (MDLS) on linux??. I checked MDM master guide and it seems like it can be done only on Windows server. Pls suggest
Cheers,
Rc.

Hi Rajesh,
Unfortunately it is not possible to install MDM layout server on any OS other than Windows.
Also, while Installation of layout server, SAPInt looks for MDM server profile directory. So, if your MDM server is running on some server other than on which you are installing MDM layout server OR your MDM server is running on Unix then in such case you will have below two options:
1. mount/share MDM server profile directory with the layout server.
2. Install a dummy MDM server (without DB) with the same system id on the layout server.
We had this kind of landscape i.e. MDM server running on unix and we faced many challenges in installation of layout server.

Shiv

Printer Software Installer has stopped working

Product: HP Laser Jet M1005 MFP
OS: Windows 7, 64-bit
Notebook ACER , Aspire 5349, Intel Celeron CPU B800 @ 1.50 GHz
(new notebook, old printer - printer worked well on Windows XP)
I downloaded driver ljM1005-HB-pnp-x64-en. Driver had been extracted and setup started.
Installation started and after some initialization (~10 sec) it kept writing:
Preinstalling the driver files... or Copying files to hard drive... (switching approx. once per second) after a while (~ 20 sec)
Printer Software Installer has stopped working. Windows tried to find solution but did not find anything.
I TRIED ALREADY EVERYTHING. I used patch for AMD processors (of course, did not work); I have Windows installer up to date; I disabled Internet Explorer 9.0 (I cannot uninstall and iether can I step back to IE 8.0 since notebook is brand new); There is no windows driver preinstalled for this printer and there is no similar driver working.
Driver cannot be installed and printer does not work.
Please, help.

MDM 7.1 installation / system copy

Hi,
New to MDM administration here so please help. I have a MDM 7.1 Production system running on windows and ms sql. Now i need to create a new QA system as a copy of this prod system. I am confused as to whether i should use the archive/unarchive procedure to move the repository content or shall i use the SQL backup/restore to copy the DB. I have about 8-9 small DBs in my MDM system -- around 1 GB each and I have one big DB around 200 GB that I believe has all the master data.
Shall i first copy the DBs and then do MDM installation or shall i only do a fresh install and then archive/unarchive the repositories ?? will archive/unarchive bring over all my data and configuration like connections to PI, ECC system etc ?
Also, i would like to know how to modify the connections etc in MDM to point to the correct QA systems after a system copy ?
Thanks,
BV

MDM 3.0 Installation related

We are in a process of doing MDM installation.
Background:
We have new server in place for MDM 3.0 installation.
We already have XI 3.0, EP 6.40 as separate instances running on different machines.
Question 1:
Can I reuse XI and EP's existing instances for MDM?
Question 2:
If MDM needs separate EP installation, can EP be installed on same server on which MDM will be installed?

Hi Rajesh,
I would install SolMan on a dedicated machine because you will have one SolMan in your landscape but at least Dev/Prod or Dev/QA/Prod for MDM.
Kind regards,
Alexander

MDM 3.0 Installation - Business Package - License

Back ground:
We have completed the MDM 3.0 installation and now wanted to do installation related with EP. (Step 11 of section 2.5.1 in Master Guide for MDM 3.00).
During the process, we get an message like: "However this business package is in 'Restricted Shipment' status with message 'License required'.
Question:
Is it mandatory to have such License or is any other method available to download the same (some note etc.)?
- Rajesh Mangrulkar

Hi,
you can access the download of the Business Package for MDM 3.0 60.1 here in SDN at https://www.sdn.sap.com/sdn/contentportfolio.sdn.
You must be signed in with your Service Marketplace user. If you hold the appropriate license, you will get a download link that will start the download.
If you do not hold the license or have not logged on with the Service Marketplace user id, you will see a 'License Required' instead.
In case you hold the required license and the link still does not show up, open a OSS message at XX-SER-RU with the problem description.

MDM Server : NetWeaver installation is not necessary?

I have been assigned in a project which will require the usage of MDM for ironing data information between our Siebel and SAP system. I have got the information that in order to install MDM server, NetWeaver installation is not necessary.
I guess this is correct but from your experience, is it also recommended?
The installation will be on Linux with ORACLE DB.
Thanks in advance,
Loukas

Hi Loukas,
if you want to use MDM, you (at least) need:
- a Database Server, Oracle is fine
- the MDM Server
- MDM Console for Repository maintenance
- MDM DataManager for viewing data
- MDM ImportManager for importing data
- MDM Syndicator for exporting data
You definitely do not need the whole Netweaver stuff - no application server or anything like that. However, if you want to integrate MDM into your system landscape, SAP XI is recommended to act a a message broker between any system and MDM. I don't know the requirements of XI.
You can run MDM Server on a single machine, together with the database and all the client tools can be on different machines.
I hope this helps. If you need further information, we'd need a more specific desciption of the requirements.
Best regards,
Martin

BI publisher installation on Windows 2008 64bit sever

Hello, everyone
I need simple installation direction about BI Publisher version 11.1.1.3 onto Windows 2008 64 bit server with Oracle 11g database and Apex 4.0. More I read the installation, more I am confused. The document ID: E10539-01 is very confused to me. Sorry. The 32bit server with BI Publisher version 10.1.3.4.1 is much easier to set up.
Thanks in advance.
Tigerwapa

Thank you Tony,
Sorry about the name spelling. English is not easy. :-)
The instruction for install and configure the PDF Printing is very similar between Apex3.0 and Apex 4.0. But, you do need to install BI publisher on one of the server and set up the port like 9704. What happen is we have a brand new 64 bit server with Windows 2008. The BI publisher previous version (was for 32 bit) will not install on 64bit server and having error message due to fail requirement.
And BI Publisher 11g is a total different game. After read the installation doc., I am more confused.
Right now, I was able to change the new server REPORT PRINTING to point to the other server (previously working). It is ok for now. I had posted to the BI forum and to see what responses I will get.
Thank you very much.

SAP MDM printing

Hello,
I am working on SAP MDM Publisher.
In Actual Spread, I find that there is lot of manual work. In my catalogue, I want to have 7 fields. For actual print preview, manually I have to see that all fields are visible.
Also, when I hide some object, in family objects tab element goes away but in print preview field is still coming.
Can you guide any smart way of publishing my MDM data in MDM publisher.
Regards,
Sameer.

Hi Rathakrishnan,
It's not a functionality of SAP script, but you have to set an attribute of the output device. Use transaction SPAD, select your printer and hit button Output Device. Then go to Tab 'Output attributes' and set 'Copies as separate output requests (in SAP System)'. This is similar to the collate functionality.
Does this solve your problem?
Regards,
John.

HP Printer Software Installation will not complete

I have an HP Officejet 8500 wireless bought in late 2011. Never an issue until a recent new printer added to the computer seems to have changed an unknown setting and now printer or computer will not recognize or initiate a wireless print request. Have tried all firmware updates, software updates, etc. Printer is perfectly connected to wireless network established by router. Any wireless print request from my MacBook is met with a "printer offline" description and sits in printer que. Printer works(ed) fine when connected via USB to MacBook.
Thought to uninstall/reinstall printer software hoping to reachieve initial set up defaults which have been working well prior to addition of new printer to computer.
Uninstalled HP software; result was normal. Inserted original software CD and tried to re-install software; result was as expected until step 5. Comments now read Installing HP Scan, Install was successful. Software has stalled on "5 items remaining" and will not move on to "4 items remaining" as next step.
HP Uninstaller is not yet in HP application file, Attempting to "quit" HP Installer generates a warning window indicating "files could be damaged" which is same window generated when trying to shut down computer using Apple shutdown command. Shutdown ends up being cancelled by HP Installer.
Computer is stuck and I'm stuck and I still don't know if reinstall would have solved original problem. Hours into troubleshooting... any help available would be appreciated. MacBook running OS X 10.6.8 all updates complete. Thanks

Thanks Bob - yes - setup from printer display to wireless network was done originally when printer was new and again today in attempt to reestablish whatever setting might have been accidentally changed. Printer is "perfectly" connected to wireless network with Excellent signal quality, etc... As is Macbook perfectly connected to wireless network.
Problem now is that when trying to reinstall original HP printer software to computer the installation process has frozen. I now cannot end the installation process or shut down the computer without potential fear of "damaging files". I also am concerned that if I power off manually (hard shutdown) that I will not be able to uninstall those HP files that have been installed thus far before the process stalled.

11.1.2 print server installation

Hi All,
I wonder if anyone has had experience of installing 11.1.2 in a primarily Solaris environment.
For our installation - everything seems to be going quite well apart from getting PDF's from financial reports.
Since the print server needs to run on Windows - we have installed it in Windows Server 2003 and gone through the configuration. However when running a report in PDF, workspace shows the loading message forever and never returns a PDF. It is fine in HTML.
Our environment is:
Solaris 10 VM for foundation services - running Shared Services, Workspace and APS.
Solaris 10 VM for essbase - running just Essbase.
Solaris 10 VM for reporting services - running EAS, Essbase Studio, Web Analysis, Financial Reporting, Reporting and Analysis
Windows Server 2003 VM for the Financial
Looking at the logs give some clues that there are attempts to access non existent files and I believe I know the problem is where I configured the R&A repository directory on the server which for the both installs was local. On the unix install some of these errors are looking at paths to a C: drive (i.e. the print server install location). It looks like I need to configure both to the same location.
So the advice I'm after is:
- should I setup a unix share through Solaris and try and get the print server to access this
- or should I setup a windows share and get both services to access this also.
Or is there any other way to do this. The install guide is quite vague about the repository location.
Cheers,
Dan

Hi, dlclarke
I have a similar scenario here and also can't get the PDF output with 11.1.2. Right the same symptom and a very similar environment.
One of the servers is a Linux 64bits with Essbase, WA, RA Framework, Foundation, Financial Reporting (except print server). The other is a VM with Windows 2008 64bits and ghoscript 8.63 32 bits with the Print Server.
The Print Server is configured but when you open a financial reporting as PDF it becames loading and loading forever. The output of the Print Server is:
Financial Reporting Print Server started successfully.

Was your problem appeared to mine? Is it needed to create a folder share between both hosts?

HP Officejet 4500 All-in-One Printer - G510g installation windows 8.1 64bit

After operating a HP Officejet 4500 All-in-One Printer - G510g from both an old Windows XP notebook and from an ASUS Windows 8, 64bit laptop, subsequently updated to 8.1; I'm now trying to install it to run from a Toshiba Satellite NB10T-A notebook Windows 8.1 64bit, but without success.
The original installation CD does not provide an installation but on start up (presumably because it is only compatible with Windows XP and 7.
The www.hp.com site offers a download of a full driver for the printer, forWindows 8.162bit. This seems to download fine. The file unpacks, says it is installing, but on completion the driver is not available.
There are no options to uninstall, either in control panel/printers or in control panel/software.
Without the driver, the Windows 8.1 system recognises the printer and allows simple printing ffrom applications. However, it is not possible to use the scan options, giving the error message that the driver is not available. Neither HP Solution Center or HP Document Manager are installed.
I have tried HP Print and Scan Doctor. This recognises the printer on USB link, says that there are missing drivers, downloads, unpacks and installs drivers. But the printer icon in control panel/printers continues to have an alarm icon and indicates that the printer is still missing drivers.
I have also tried the HP Printer Installation Wizard. The result is similar.
Please advise how I can install the scan options of this equipment and confirm that the machine is compatible with windows 8.1 64bit.
Thank you
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Hello @monc , welcome to the HP forums!
I read through your post about how you cannot scan on your Windows 8.1 computer as the driver and software doesn't seem to be completing successfully on your system. However, you have been able to install the printer and its functioning fine on other computers.
I would suggest checking the Control Panel to see if there are any printer files to uninstall: Uninstalling the Printer Software
Restart the PC afterwards
Perform a Clean Boot
Restart the PC again
Download and install the printer again: HP Officejet Full Feature Software and Driver
If you see any error messages or codes during the installation process, make note of the exact problem or error and post me back a screen shot or the details.
Good luck
