MDM Workflow - Scenario

Hi All,
I am supposed to work on MDM workflow.
I have done a primary scenario of adding record.. when a record gets added, it will go through stages of approval through workflow.
Can you please suggest some more scenarios to be implemented using workflow?
Thank You,
Mugdha Kulkarni

Back again
Have a decision making workflow where some records are sent back and some forwarded.
Also consider workflow after workflow in sequence.
Also can consider validating data in workflow.
Just read email notification as well.
Hope this helps too and others will feed business scenarios,

  • MDM Workflow Expiry message

    Hi Experts,
    I have a scenario in which MDM workflow is active, workflow is working fine and there are absolutely no issues. The only problem is, For workflow owner, I am getting following message everyday (If workflow is not clear or executed).
    The following workflow step is overdue because it has exceeded its expiration timeout:
    Assignee:                ; MDM System
    Job:                    10565
    Job Owner:              MDM System
    Records:                1

    Workflow:               Workflow Name
    Step:                   ABC
    Description:   
    Repository:             MDM Repository
    May be some setting missing, I want to deactivale this workflow reminder. Can you please guide and help?
    Regards,
    Maddy

    not sure on why you want to take the notifications out - for the sake of receiving harmless emails
    u can direct them to the spam folder easily
    but still if u wish
    go to the workflow visio diagram -- find notify step -- and remove ur emai id from the settings.
    thanks
    -Adrivit
    This will stop ALL email notifications pertaining to THIS workflow to ur id.

  • Max number of records in MDM workflow

    Hi All
    Need urgent recommendations.
    We have a scenario where we need to launch a workflow upon import of records. The challenge is source file contains 80k records and its always a FULL load( on daily basis) in MDM. Do we have any limitation in MDM workflow for the max number of records? Will there be significant performance issues if we have a workflow with such huge number of records in MDM?
    Please share your inputs.
    Thanks-Ravi

    Hi Ravi,
    Yes it can cause performance overhead and you will also have to optimise MDIS parametrs for this.
    Regarding WF i think normally it is 100 records per WF.I think you can set a particular threshold for records after which the WF will autolaunch.
    It is difficult to say what optimum number of records should be fed in Max Records per WF so I would suggest having a test run of including 100/1000 records per WF.Import Manager guide say there are several performance implications of importing records in a WF,so it is better to try for different ranges.
    Thanks,
    Ravi

    Dear all,
    We are planning to implement SAP workflow, for the creation of material master and info record of the materials. We are using SAP 4.7 version. Can you give me any idea or hint about how we can configure these cases. Is there any standard workflow on SAP?  If you can also send me documents or web address would be appreciate.

  • R/3 u2013 XI u2013 MDM integration scenario - Standard import Maps problem

    Hi Data Masters,
    We are working on R/3 u2013 XI u2013 MDM integration scenario for Vendor Object. We have extracted main table Data using u201CMDM_CLNT_EXTRu201D program. Now while importing the data in MDM we want to use u201CStandard business content i.e. Standard Import Maps (Name u2013 cremdm - 03 u201D but this maps are not mapping all the fields. So do we need to extend this maps..??
    OK. Second, To create own maps we are facing following problems,
    1)     In source section many fields are reflecting twice means in two segments i.e. LFA1 and ADRMAS like Name, City, Street, country etcu2026 whereas in Target section we have one field for the same so how to maps this fields.
    2)     In source, There are few fields like ADRNR which have values but in target we donot have any fields to map for the same, so how to handle thisu2026

  • 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.

  • R/3 - Xi - MDM integration Scenario.

    Hi experts,
    We are working on R/3 XI MDM integration scenario for Customer master wherein requirement is to consolidate the u201CGeneral datau201D but at the same time we need to retain u201Csales area datau201D for each record as it is.
    For example, In sap ECC system we have Master record (Which is duplicate) as mentioned below,
    Id   Name           Sales Area.
    1    Neethu      SA1
    2    Neethu Joy     SA2
    After merging two duplicate records general data we will have a single record in data manager. Further we want to link Sales Area Data to same consolidated record. Final picture in MDM data manager should look like this,
    Id   Name           Sales Area.
    1   Neethu      SA1; SA2
    Can anyone suggest a solution? How we can u201Cappendu201D Sales area data to Consolidated General master data. How we can deal with u201CDelta Recordsu201D to achieve the same Output..??
    Matter is most urgent...Points will be rewarded.
    Cheers,
    Rajesh Chavan

    Hi Rajesh,
    On merging two duplicate records, generally data merge as a single record in data manager.So i would suggest in this case
    You have to change your Repository design and MAP. you can achieve this, Firstly For Sales Area you have to make this lookup field(Multi-Valued) in main table which will lookup to SubTable say SalesA for which Multi-Valued is YES.
    Now come to Import Manager, Here during Map as you have
    Id Name Sales Area.
    1 Neethu SA1
    2 Neethu Joy SA2
    Map first Source Sales Area Field with Name(DF) when you select SalesA as your Current Destination Table then import Main table records as ususal here in which you also map Sales Area source field with Sales Area which is lookup field(Multi-Valued) in main table
    IN Data Manager, During Merge Records when you select Sale Area field as SA1 in Merged Record for Id 1 then Right Click on SA2 for Id 2 here your append Option will get enabled using this you can get desired output as
    Id Name Sales Area.
    1 Neethu SA1; SA2
    Rewards if useful....
    Hope it will help you,

    Check the scenario created in Integration directory also check if you are using same receiver interface for Multiple scenarios.

  • Best Practice to transport MDM Workflows trough a 3-tier Landscape

    Hello Experts,
    I wanted to ask you for some Best practices to transport MDM Workflows from D-to Q/P?
    Well besides the Archive/Unarchive method because we want to keep the Data of P in the repository
    and do not want to import the whole.
    Any ideas? Points are for sure!!
    Best regards
    Carsten

    Hi Carsten,
    Currently with the MDM 5.5 version the only transport mechanism that will allow you to export your Workflows from the development server to the Production or Quality is the Archieve/Unarchieve method.
    but this methods archives the data as well along with the workflow.There is no such method to exort the workflow alone.
    But with the onset of the MDM 7.1 there are new transport mechanism included and hopefully they address this issue.
    A work around that i can think of at this moment:
    - If you have your development server as your Master rep and the Production server as your slave
    - Then you can call the workflow from the D to the P.If you do not have any data presntly in the dev.
    -  and then Normalize the Productions server to make it an individual master rep with its own data.
    I am not sure how well this solution will help but just a suggestion....
    Hope It Helped
    Thanks & Regards
