MDM Workflow Launch Problem version SAP MDM 7.1.2.59

Hi All,
I have installed SAP MDM 7.1.2.59 on SUSE Linux Server 64-bit m/c. And installed all Clients on Windows XP.
MS-Visio is also installed on my windows Box.
But when i open data manager i am seeing the workflow icon disabled. Also not able to add a workflow.
Any one knows what is the reason for this?
Please let me know if i need to add any specific patch at Server side.
Srinivas

Hey -
Checkout your visio setting
In MDM Data Manager, make sure the Workflows table is the current table. In the Records pane, select any workflow record.
In the Record Detail tab, then double-click on the Workflow property to open Microsoft Visio. Choose Tools > Options from the Visio main menu.Choose File Paths to open the File Paths dialog. In the File Paths dialog, set both Add-Ons and Start-Up to the folder where the Worklfow.vsl file is installed (the Data Manager installation folder, by default). Click OK to close the File Paths dialog.

MDM Workflow - Exclude a user in a step

Hi All,
We have the following requirement, please can you let me know is it possible to be implemented in SAP MDM.
We are in SAP MDM 7.1 SP04.
1. Start - Process - Approve -- Stop
2. Start - Check out record
3. Stop - Check In Record.
4. Process Step owner - Launcher of the Workflow.
5. Approve Step assigned to a Role.
6. 2 roles - Requestor and Approver.
7 User A has both Roles Requestor and Approver.
Q: Requestor(User A) launches the workflow - while sending from Process to Approve Step - we have to ensure that the owner of process tep in the workflow should not be able to approve the record -- Is it possible to check and exclude or show an error message that the previous owner is not allowed to be selected in the Approve step.
Thanks,
Priya.

Hi Priya,
you have asked question as
We are in SAP MDM 7.1 SP04.
1. Start - Process - Approve -- Stop
2. Start - Check out record
3. Stop - Check In Record.
4. Process Step owner - Launcher of the Workflow.
5. Approve Step assigned to a Role.
6. 2 roles - Requestor and Approver.

Q: Requestor(User A) launches the workflow - while sending from Process to Approve Step - we have to ensure that the owner of process tep in the workflow should not be able to approve the record -- Is it possible to check and exclude or show an error message that the previous owner is not allowed to be selected in the Approve step.
so my another question to you is
what is the assignee type and authorizations are provided to this User or Roles ?
are you assigning the same roles to both this users ? What is the Execution type for this Workflow? try to make it as All Sequential Orderd and then see if it works if it does not then please let me know we will check out some other way for this/
Thanks and Regards

SAP MDM Work Flows Status

Hi Tim,
                  I am using SP5 not SP4, and workflow also enters in received mode after launched. But after that it goes to TRASH, and this behaviour only comes when i add some new fields to main table. is this the only reason for trash status or something more behind it. and also is it an actual status for workflows or its an uncommon behaviour.
Thanks Tim your suggession really works for me.

In General Console talks about repository structures we cant do any record manipulation. Basically it can be done at MDM DATA Manager level (in recent SPs), earlier its called CLIENT. Launch MDM Client along with the same repository, change workflow as your current table and there you can add records, assign records and launch the same.
MDM WorkFlow
You can find MDM workflow under Record mode.
MDM there are no Tcodes as we use in SAP R/3.
Basis related stuff is to maintain console which has repoaitories and Role and authorization (user and assignment of Roles to user)
MDM has four main component
Console, Import Manager, Data Manager, Syndicator.
Please feel free to revert to me for further clarifications.

SAP Master Data Management
SAP Master Data Management (SAP MDM) enables master data on customers, partners and products to be consolidated and harmonized across the enterprise, making it available to all staff and business partners. A key component of SAP NetWeaver, SAP MDM ensures data integrity across all IT systems.
The SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (SAP NetWeaver MDM) component of SAP NetWeaver creates the preconditions for enterprise services and business process management. The functionality represents customers, products, employees, vendors, and user-defined data objects in unified form. With SAP NetWeaver MDM, customers can manage master data and supplemental content, such as texts, PDF documents, high-resolution images, or diagrams in a central business information warehouse.
SAP Master Data Management (SAP MDM) is a component of SAP's NetWeaver product group and is used as a platform to consolidate, cleanse and synchronise a single version of the truth for master data within a heterogeneous application landscape. It has the ability to distribute internally and externally to SAP and non-SAP applications. SAP MDM is a key enabler of SAP Enterprise Service-Oriented Architecture. Standard system architecture would consist of a single central MDM server connected to client systems through SAP Exchange Infrastructure using XML documents, although connectivity without SAP XI can also be achieved. There are five standard implementation scenarios:
Content Consolidation - centralized cleansing, de-duplication and consolidation, enabling key mapping and consolidated group reporting in SAP BI. No re-distribution of cleansed data.
Master Data Harmonization - as for Content Consolidation, plus re-distribution of cleansed, consolidated master data.
Central Master Data Management - as for Master Data Harmonization, but all master data is maintained in the central MDM system. No maintenance of master data occurs in the connected client systems.
Rich Product Content Management - Catalogue management and publishing. Uses elements of Content Consolidation to centrally store rich content (images, PDF files, video, sound etc.) together with standard content in order to produce product catalogues (web or print). Has standard adapters to export content to DTP packages.
Global Data Synchronization - provides consistent trade item information exchange with retailers through data hubs Some features (for example, workflow) require custom development out of the box to provide screens for end users to use.
http://www11.sap.com/platform/netweaver/components/mdm/index.epx
IBM MDM
n IBM's view, MDM is a set of disciplines, technologies, and solutions used to create and maintain consistent, complete, contextual, and accurate business data for all stakeholders (users, applications, data warehouses, processes, enterprises, trading partners, and so on). It's a holistic framework for managing structured and unstructured data that's aligned with business processes and managed throughout the information life cycle.

SAP MDM workflow erroe while launching

Hi Experts,
I am using SAP MDM 7.1 (7.1.04.142).Whenever I am trying to launch a workflow I am getting this error
One or more records have following validation failures:
Invalid validation recordId(s) in val;idate field
Any help please
Thanks
Vinay

Hi Vinay,
As per this SAP Note: Workflow stop at Stop Check-in.
Are you using Check out at Start step in your workflow ?
So I would also suggest try to launch the workflow who is Owner of the workflow. May be that user has not right to launch the workflow.
Also check who can send next step in your Start step of MDM workflow, Owner/Launcher/Any user ?
For testing, Create a new record in your Data Manager then Add this record to Workfow job manually by right click on this record Workflows>Add to Job>workflow name and check are you able to complete this work-flow or not?

Mdm workflow through sap r/3

hello experts
I have a scenario to trigger a workflow in SAP R/3 from MDM
Objects need to be created in SAP for this
I found this in a pdf file
"A pre-requisite for connecting SAP Business Workflow to MDM is to build a BOR Object which represents the products in MDM. But how does this BOR Object really communicate with MDM?
Using MDM ABAP API Creating an ABAP code which communicates with MDM via MDM ABAP API (available as of MDM 5.5 SP3). Using the ABAP API directly from the Workflow environment simplifies integration between SAP Business Workflow and MDM, but makes integration to other systems more difficult as ABAP is not the greatest environment with regards to openness."
How do I go about it ? Where is this API and how do I use it ?

this is the link to the pdf
Workflow for SAP NetWeaver MDM How, Why and What to Choose

Using xml schema problem (SAP MDM 7.1 Syndicator)

Good day !
I try to syndicate directory which correspond to some xml-schema and I have a problem.
I want to syndicate data from hierarchy table which have one field which have a type like lookup <Flat> (multivalued).
In XML-schema element "DEF_PRODUCT" and "DEF_PRODUCT_CODE" - attribute presents hierarchy table.
"CREDIT_PRODUCT" and childs presents linked flat table.
According idea and business rules I must get the result like this: each "DEF_PRODUCT" have N-"CREDIT_PRODUCT". One - to- many.
But when I set up all map completely and look to xml result file I start to be disappointed.
XML result file approximately must be like this:
<DEF_PRODUCT>
    <CREDIT_PRODUCT/>
    <CREDIT_PRODUCT/>
    <CREDIT_PRODUCT/>
</DEF_PRODUCT>
but in result I have all <CREDIT_PRODUCT> in one node and child attributes.
I attach 3 pics which explain my situation.
xml-schema :[http://xmages.net/storage/10/1/0/6/3/upload/42ca6ca8.jpg]
field mapping: [http://xmages.net/storage/10/1/0/6/a/upload/bbbc09f2.jpg]
example: [http://xmages.net/storage/10/1/0/c/c/upload/817b0e23.jpg]
Anybody can help me?
About software : SAP MDM 7.1 (7.1.04.139)
P.S: My problem can be resolved succesfully if I will use 1 <main> table and 1 <qualified flat> table.
       But in my case I must use hierarchy - structure because it most usable for business - users

If SAP MDM will present many opportunities to me I will be very glad.
I repeat I must get output xml which have the pair like "RemoteKey"="RemoteSystem" in tuple subnode.
In tuple, after your advices.
Ideally, Syndicator must present to each user ability to choose pair "RemoteKey" = "RemoteSystem" in each subnode like <LookUp> table in root (look at my example pic).
Imagine you have one root table and N-linked <lookup> tables.
Tree like this :
<main tbl>
<subtbl1/>
<subtbl2/>
<subtbl3>
     <childtbl1/>
     <childtbl2/>
</subtbl3>
</main tbl>
It's dangerous to deprive SAP MDM user to select pair "RemoteKey" = "RemoteSystem" from ROOT to ALL and LAST LEAF in abstract hierarchy. How do you think ?
Now, I haven't abilities to solve my problem using standard resources. Really ?

SAP MDM customer upload problem

hi experts
when i did some changes in customer master data like some field values like customer master data should be maitained in polish language apart from english language and after changing language of customer master i interfaced/distribute those data to target OLTP system. after that when i did some other changes the polish language changes have been roll back i have not get the solution of this problem till now.plese tell me the solution.
regards
atul

Hello Atu
By default SAP MDM fill all another languages values from Centlal Language(US by default)
1) you can set Central language
2) you can fill translation for Polish and when you load Data Manager - all translated values view at Polish
3) you can syndicate(or get trought API) values only at selected languages
More about support multilanguages in SAP MDM you can read this:

SAP MDM Workflow

Hi,
I have written some SAP MDM Workflows.
Now, the email is not firing.
There is a setting to be done in .rhosts or in some particular
where you have to specify SMTP Mail Server.
Regards
Kaushik Banerjee

Hi Kaushik,
For activating the Notification step in MDM workflows you have to make settings in the mds.ini file in the server folder location,where you have to mention the Smtp server taht you are using for sending the mails.
Bedsides this settings you will have to crete users in MDM console with their email ids so that they can receive mails acc from the owner of the workflow.
You will have to add the notify step in the Visio template and fill in the correct property details.
These settings should enable your mail services for the wf users.
The mail will be shooted in 1 sec to the desired user as the timeout default time is set to 1 sec however you can set this prameter,if the mail sending is failed due to any unknown reasons an error is loged but the sending is not redone.
Follow the below link to get a clearer idea o the same:

Current SAP MDM version & s pack ?

Hi All,
what is the current SAP MDM version & s pack ? (latest) and the upcomming new versions ? Is it SAP MDM 7.3 ?
what else new will features are being added...... any idea?
also
I am currently working on MDM 7.1, but wanted to know which service pack I am working on........ where exaclty I can I see this information.(I mean where can I see the version, service pack, patch and other details)
In the console->help , I have seen the version , and [7.1.00.75], does this mean something ? pls exp.
Please share your thoughts
Thanks,
ve

Hi Veena,
Current MDM version available is MDM 7.1 SP05.
Scheduled upcoming MDM version as per my understanding would be MDM 7.2 not MDM 7.3
In console help, you can check the build number of MDM.
1st four characters tells about the version and Support package and last three letters are not exactly Patch.
It means that you are on MDM 7.1 SP00
Yes, you can download it from Service Market Place if you have access and right to download MDM.
Please refer similar thread to check path to download MDM : How to get MDM 7.1? Please tell me the download link.
Also check this link where you can get everything about MDM 7.1, Please refer MDM upgrade guide which you need to follow. https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/installMDM71
@ Deepak, See i am using MDM Server Build (7.1.03.69) that does not mean i am using Patch 69,
You can check [SAP Note 1425021|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1425021] where Patch is 19 not 69

Which is the Latest version to be released after SAP MDM 7.1 version ?

Can any body give me the details about the latest version to be released after SAP MDM 7.1?
Thanks & Regards,
Krishna ..

Hi Krishna,
as far as i know MDM 7.1 general versions for user is still about to come.
but With SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management 7.1, SAP has enhanced the MDM technology foundation to build pre-packaged business scenarios and integration. This SAP NetWeaver MDM release has been in ramp-up shipment since the end of November 2008.
But for 7.1 some highlights are
Extended flexibility for data modeling and support for complex objects
Higher performance and improved inbound and outbound processing e.g. through native MDM adapter for SAP NetWeaver Process Integration
Enhanced integration into SAP NetWeaver standard administration and life-cycle components
after successful Operation with this I guess new release will mess up.
Hope it helps.
