MDM SP4 Upgrade

Hi
we have migrated our MDM 5.5 from SP3 to SP4. Aftert this upgrade we have checked the syndication mappings for a copy of vendor repository and we have found out that in our syndication mappings, those mappings against qualified tables have dissapeared. It seems that for example all values for mapping Company code qualified table as can be BUKRS are not there, only LIFNR remains. We don´know if some of you have had this issue or not but we´ll appreciate much if there is somebody that have solved this issue anyway ( not remapping again obviously...)
Cheers

Hi Antonio,
we noticed this as well. What you could do if you you have not enhanced the repository: download the latest Vendor repository package from SMP. Use the maps delivered with this repository. You can simply import them to syndicator.
Kind regards
Michael

But,When I am testing <b>mdmsearch</b> webservice with correct repository,port,mdm server details with other required parametes as mentioned in the blog. I am getting the follwing error.
Problem while connecting to MDM repository "MyRep" on server "myserver" at port "2311". Maybe the Repository-Information has not been set correctly at the requested query!
To confirm the connection parameters,I wrote sample java program using mdm java api and run from the was server and i am able to connect to the same.
Is there other sca files need to be deployed on WAS to work with sp4 standard web services.

Inter iView Connectivity : MDM SP4

Hi,
I'm working with EP Business Package for MDM SP4. The requirement is to integrate the functionality of MDM iViews with Web Dynpro iViews. This can be done through client side eventing ( EPCF ) and I read in MDM SP4 feature list that, this connectivity is provided.
But, I'm not able to find any documents on the events being trigerred by MDM iViews. If anyone has tried or have some idea please do tell me.
Thanks & Regards,
Mausam

Dear Mausam,
please confirm: the suggested steps from chapter Support of the How to guide were applied.
Does it work now ? Is the mdm config visible in UWL Content
Configuration ?
If there is still no result (e.g. the mdm config still not visible in
UWL Content Configuration), then most probably this is a wrong
deployment issue on NW04s that will be fixed in SP4 patch3.
Please proceed with the following workaround:
1. locate the com.sap.mdm.uwl.par file in the installation folder of
Portal, e.g.
\usr\sap\<sysID>\JC<instanceNo>\j2ee\cluster\server<cluster>\apps\sap.
com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\deployment\pcd\com.sap.mdm.uwl.par.
bak
2. open the zipped com.sap.mdm.uwl.par.bak file (e.g. using WinZip or
WinRar), and extract the file uwl_mdm.xml to your local PC.
3. logon to portal with Admin access, and navigate to System
Administration -> System Configuration -> Universal Worklist & Workflow
-> Universal Worklist - Administration -> Click to Administrate Item
Types and View Definitions -> Upload new configuration -> then Upload
the xml file from the step 2 above.
4. restart the com.sap.netweaver.uwl services and clear the UWL cache
(as described in the above referenced article).
Does it work now ? Is the mdm config visible in UWL Content
Configuration ?
Thank you in advance.
Regards.
Laszlo.

Order of steps in CRM Mobile Sales 7.0 SP4 Upgrade

Hi,
Since I read the upgrade guide I am not really sure anymore about the right order of step when performing the upgrade (form 4.0 SP6 to 7.0 SP4):
(OS and Office version are up to the prerequesites)
0. Back up all ARS databases (dev, test, production)
1. Run Baseline Comparison tool: Is that recommended to do?
2. Upgrade SQL Server form 2000 to 2005 SP1 or SP2 with attach, detach and run the SQL script provided by SAP
2a. Install .net 2.0, Java VM 1.5.0_16 and Java Dev Kit (MAR and WB are on the same machine)
2b. Install Visual Studio (VBasic) 2005 SP00
3. Run Code Migration (only on DEV, it will create a change list which can be transported to the other systems, correct?)
4. Run MAR Upgrade tool
5. Upgrade MRS tools and services
The points I am really unsure is, when to upgrade SQL Server from 2000 to 2005 and when to install Visual Studio.
Could someone please feedback if all the steps are in the right order?
Whity

Hi everybody confronted with 4.0 to 7.0 SP4 upgrade of MSA,
I have done sich upgrade and here is the list of steps and the order of them:
Pre-upgrade: (check the current system works fine):
1. Confirm the SAP services (MAR Central, TA) are working fine
2. Confirm the Transport Process among DEV, QA and PRD is also working fine
3. Full generation of all apps
Pre-upgrade:
4. Baseline comparison in order to ensure all repos are in synch
5. Backup ars_db and ides
Upgrade steps:
6. Check software versions
7. Install Visual Studio 2005 SP00
8. Stop TA but not MAR Central Service
9. Install and run CMT (it will display thousands of collisions, we had 11270 but most of them were solved by the system, finally we had 67 collisisons to resolve manually)
10. Start TA and release CMT changelist and transport to CRM Server
11. Backup ars_db
12. CMT deinstallation
13. SQL Server upgrade from 2000 to 2005
14. Stop and uninstall TA. If TA is not being uninstalled there will be problems to uninstall but it can still be done via DOS command
15. Upgrade the MAR
16: Unistall the MAR upgrade tool
17. Install Java VM and SDK
18. Upgrade MDW (run on upgrade CD)
19. Resolve collisions (document the work!)
20. After CRM Online was upgraded do a BDoc synch (until this step, MAR, MDW upgrade run independently)
21. Generate Metadata and table scripts on Ides in ClientConsole
22. Do a full non incremental generation
23. Run the application (MSA, MSC, etc.)
Possible issues:
1. I had many errors during compilation (not generation, that worked fine). Some of the errors were resolved by ensuring that all objects were generated. This did not happen at the first generation. Other errors came from collision resolution. This is a bit more tricky but keep in mind NO MAJOR CODE CHANGE was required to resolve them. Probably date conversion issues will pop up which can be resolved by "fromadate" / "toadate"...
2. I had issues with the backed up Ides. Finally I had to restore an empty 7.0 standard SAP Ides and ran the Metadata and table scripts on this Ides. Then I connected and did an extract. This worked fine.
This is it in a nutshell. I hope it will help anybody with an upgrade!

We are currently running SRM-MDM Catalog 2.0 SP4 Patch10 on Netweaver 7.0 SP14

Hi Mike,
Kindly go trough the below link which explains the advantages of using SRM 2.0 over 1.0 vrs.
The blog also has links in between such as:

IWS v6.0 SP4 upgrade problem

Trying to upgrade from iPlanet Web Server v6.0 SP2 to v6.0 SP4 on a Windows 2000 Server and receive the following Application Event Log error message every time I reboot the
server. " Netsite startup: Incorrect Parameter config (1320):
Full Thread dump Classic VM (JDK-1.2.2_010, native threads):"
I get this message for each instance, the web server and
the admin server. I've even tried uninstalling the web server
completely and installing v6.0 SP4 as a new installation and
I get the same event error log messages. This did not occur with my v6.0 SP2 version. Any ideas or suggestions
are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
JD

Clay,
Instructions to upgrade are referenced in the link below:
http://knowledgebase.iplanet.com/ikb/kb/articles/5114.html
This will also work for iWS6.x servers. As always...make sure you test on a non-production server and have a complete backup prior to upgrading in a production environment.

MDM Patch Upgrade

Hello Experts,
I am facing an issue during the Upgrade of MDM on QA Server from MDM 7.1 SP05 Patch 1 to patch 34.
Below is the process that i am following for the upgrade, please correct me if I am wrong.
1. Stop the server
2. Run the SAP INST which will take you to a step by step process from root/<sid>adm users.
3. Select the option Update.
4. At one point of time it should ask to choose the new TAR file (for Patch 34) for MDM Server, MDM IIS and MDM SS. You can refer to those files here and proceed.
5. Finish Upgrade.
The issue is that, I am not asked for step 4. Please let me know if I am suppose to unpack the .TAR files or use a separate Installation Master for the Upgrade.
Regards,
Renu

Hello Renu
If you miss step 4 i think you update from your previous installation
I think, version number should be exchange.
Could you check version number your mds mdis and mdss and compare with perevious one?

Repository connect issue after MDM Patch Upgrade

MDM Expert
We recently upgraded our MDM patch from SP06 5.5.63.73 to SP06 5.5.65.91
after patch upgrade we are not able to connect to repository.SAP is saying that we have wong NLS Character set.It should be 'UTF8' or 'AL32UTF8'
We checked and found that we do not have character set as per SAP Recommendation but everything was working fine before upgrading the patch.As per SAP in new Patch MDM is lokking for Unicode Character set
SAP is asking to create new DB Instance for MDM.
If we create new instance for MDM then how we are going to use our existing repository.Our environment is clustered environment and name of MDM DB instance is also mentioned in cluster.We have to use same Instance name.We are also using oracle failsafe
Creating new instance seems to be risky for Production environment.Currently we are applying the Patch in Sandbox Environment
has anyone of you faced this problem while upgrading MDM patch, if yes then how you resolve the issue
Please help
Thanks

Collisisons in a MSA CRM 4 SP8 - CRM 7 SP4 upgrade

Hello everybody,
I have run the MAR Upgrade tool CRM 7.0 SP4 on a CRM MSA 4.0 SP8 landscape. In total 11 Change Lists have been imported. Each change list caused approximately 1000 collisions which is in total 11000 collisions. I am a bit surprised by that amount of collisions. Does anyone have the experience if so many collisions are normal and that it is worthwhile to proceed?
Some other questions:
- can it be that the CMT changelist is also a reason for collisions of the later imported SAP CLs?
- does each of the 11 CLs run into the same collision, e.g. if we have changed a SAP owned object that each of the 11 CL runs here into a collision, which would mean that we have actually only ca. 1000 collisions to resolve instead of 11000?
Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Raquel

Thanks for your help Shankar,
Finally we have realized that the result: 11917 collisions, was not the number of the non-resolved collisions.
If you perform the following SQL statement on ARS_DB, you can get an overview about the collisions:
select state,count(*) from collision group by state
state 0 means non-resolved collisions
state 2 means resolved collisions
In fact, we only have 67 in state 0.

Raquel

Sp4 Upgrade

All -
I just upgraded my app from SP2 to Sp4. Now I see the following error -
(all my portlets in sp2 used a patch from bea for the refreshAction).
<html><head><title>Page Flow Error - No Relevant Page</title></head>

Note - this is working fine in SP2 with the refreshAction patch. Not working in SP3 or 4.
Thanks for your help....

XIR2 SP4 Upgrade

We are planning on upgrading our XIR2 server to SP4. Does anyone have any horror or success stories on SP4?
Also, any issues upgrading from SP2 -> SP4, rather than SP3->SP4?
Thanks

I've installed SP4 about a half dozen times all servers and clients working fine (some were SP2 some SP3). I'd suggest to follow the best practices and install in a DEV environment 1st. There always a possibility that there could be issues when patching any software. If any issues arise please log an incident with support.

Tim

SQL SP4 Upgrade

We currently have our Zenworks Inventory database on a SQL 2000 SP3a
