MQseries as Midddleware instead of SAP XI(SRM MDM Catalog&SRM integration)

Hi
Has anybody used MQ series as Midddleware instead of SAP XI to integrate SAP SRM with SRM MDM Catalog.
If you have done so, can you please provide links or documents relevant to the same.
Regards

I guess, MQ series will supply messages in a queue/topic. These messages will have to be imported into MDM as XML files. Similarly to send XML files to MQ series, u will need a middleware with a MQ series adaptor.

SRM MDM Catalog ---- SRM

Hi,
Is there a middleware (Pi) required to connect "SRM MDM" with "SRM" ?
Can anyone explain the integration between these two.
Points will be given
Thanks!

Hi,
In the SRM MDM Catalogue bundle provided from SAP, there are 2 SCA files provided along with the other components. So your basis team need to deploy those SCA files through SDM (Software Deployment Manager) in SRM Portal. The files arovided are for background connectivity of MDM+SRM and the second one is for UI(User Interface) Management. So after deploying the same, your basis team will provide you 1 url which is composite of your server name, port etc.
Paste that URL in Internet Explorer and it will route you to that UI Manager. You should have UI Manager role assigned to your user ID so that you can access the UI. By Default there is 1 user created in MDM as Master with blank password which is used to maintain the UI as it has that role assigned to it.
So when you open that link, it will ask you for server name, password of that server and later User ID of SRM repository and Password. When you login into that, it will show you the configuration done for SRM Portal. There is one button named as OCI (Open Catalogue Interface)mapping. So when you press on that, it will open the OCI mapping sheet where the MDM fields will be mapped to corresponding SRM Portal fields to view the data. By this mean only the connectivity is done for SRM MDM Scenario.
XI is required in only case when you need both the functionalities like you need to use SRM MDM and normal MDM scenario in a single repository. For eg you have one catalogue consisting several materials which are displayed as Catalogue and all the materials which are changed, should be sent to XI to send it further.
Once OCI is done, you need to maintain the webservice in SRM System for accessing the catalogues in MDM directly. For that Masks are created and assigned to that particular user id. In web Service, you need to define the URL, Server Name, Repository Name, Password, Mask etc by which you can automate the process and bifercate the users to access the catalogues related to their country or organisation.
Please let me know in case of any issues.

SRM MDM Catalog - SRM OCI mapping relevant for Contract Catalogs

Hi,
According to the scenario we would like to implement, the contract items are distibuted to a catalog and later on they are recalled within other contracts. In this case to do OCI mapping in SRM (customizing activity?) is still relevant? Is this activity necessary for all catalogs internal or external?
Is this what is enabling to dispaly the catalog within SRM transaction like Process Contracts for all type of catalogs?
Thank you in advance,
Edited by: Gaia K. on Nov 18, 2008 6:16 PM

Hi,
Thanks for your input,
I did unmapping between OCI fields and MDM fields at OCI Mapping and but i have selected unmapped fields at all Views.
Now when i login and checked at my catalog side, i can able to see the data for that fields, which i have unmapped at OCI Mapping.
My question is :
1) Why this fields are getting values , when i Unmapped at OCI mapping Level?
2) If this fields are getting values at catalog irrespective of mapping/unmapping at OCI Mapping level, then what is the actual use of OCI mapping?
3) where exactly adding of Custom fields at OCI side is helpful?
Your solution will be rewarded in points
Thanks

ECC TO SRM-MDM CATALOG THROUGH SAP PI

We have a scenario where we are sending data from ECC to SRM-MDM Catalog through SAP PI and data is coming from ECC through proxy and sending to SRM u2013MDM catlog through file adapter. In ESR part we have used SAP defined standard service interfaces (CatalogueUpdateNotification as sender interface and MDMInfoRecordDataTransmission as a receiver interface). The mapping used is also standard one.
Now we have got requirement to send the data for vendor mat no, manufacturer field of info records from ECC to SRM-MDM catlog. But we are unable to find out these two fields in standard interfaces/messages. Can anybody guide us how to add these fields in the current data types or is there any other standard interfaces we can use.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Shiv,
Many thanks for your reply.
Since we're not using XI / PI scenario and this is an upgrade from SRM 5.5 to SRM 7, Iu2019m using the same approach that was already used in SRM 5.5 with CCM 2.0.
The idea is that the catalogue and all the records maintained need to be associated to a contract. So, I add the contract ID and the correspondent contract item in the import file, in addition to the supplier name, product ID, price information and so on. I mapped the contract ID with the field contract price.
In relation to the price information fields, as I want it to be visible for any user that accesses the product catalogue, I tried different approaches:
1.Using OCI Price information u2013 amount, currency, price base quantity and price base quantity UoM;
2.Using OCI Price contract u2013 amount, currency, price base quantity and price base quantity UoM;
The first approach didnu2019t work very well, as I was not able to see price information when accessing the catalogue. I could only see it once I transfer the items to the SC. In addition, this approach had one problem. The products were displayed but it was not possible to select the items one by one. To do that I needed to select all the items of the catalogue and after that the detail of the contract ID was displayed in every item, allowing me to choose the items that I want to select to my SC.
The second approach was better as the information was visible when accessing the SC and I was able to select all the items, one by one, as it should be. The main problem of this approach was that Iu2019m getting errors in the SC when the materials have stock u2013 u201CInterface data contains errorsu201D. Or alternatively, if the items didnu2019t have stock, the SC was possible, but when I tried to create a PO from that SC, It simply does not work.
So, can someone help me? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Andreia

Installation of SRM MDM Catalog

Hi SAP Mentors,
We are installing SRM MDM Catalog. I needed some clarification regarding the same. The version for SRM MDM Catalog is 7.02. Do I need a SRM 7.02 server with MDM 7.1 installed on it , on which I will be putting SRM MDM Catalog?
Please let me know as we need to start installation Monday. The docs are not very clear.
Thanks,
Asad

Zafar,
Yes. You need to have same release including the patch level. We experienced similar scenario and resolved all issues only after syncing the release and SP level.
hope it helps.

Is use of flat file in SRM-MDM catalog search UI possible ?

Hello,
When user looks for materials inside SRM-MDM catalog (using search user interface), search is done manually with free form or drill down search.
Then, among the search result, user has to select items he wants to add to his shopping cart and finally transfer those items from his shopping cart overview inside SRM.
Is it possible to automate this user selection using for exemple a flat file uploading (or any other way you could know) ?
This flat file will have material number (or service), supplier code and quantity (no more information).
The aim of the request is to help requester to not have to select each item one by one (in the search result) knowing that :
- SC will have more than a hundred items,
- delivery time and price (for example) must be checked in MDM, being the master data reference
- materials (or service) to order are received by requester via a flat file without any information about prices, so i cannot upload my flat file directly into SRM because file missing data must come from MDM.
With this process, user should have only to transfer items automatically selected.
Could you please share your advises ?
We use SAP MDM 5.5.
Regards.
Laurent.

Hello Masa,
Masayuki Sekihara wrote:
A vendor look at buyer stock information like VMI and fill stock weekly base. So the vendor sends material number and quantity information as flat file to buyer. Buyer should create SC from flat file and price information should fetch from catalog.
Yes, your are correct: example you gave corresponds to process for my SC uploading.

Error replicating customizing data to the repository (SRM MDM Catalog)

Hi Folks,
I am currently configuring SRM MDM catalog, and one of the initial steps is to replicate data from SRM to the repository.

What am I missing?
thanks a lot a happy holidays!

Hello Priti,
For accessing the catalog, you have to define the external webservice with the config parameters in SRM System under transaction "SPRO"
Please refer the SRM-MDM Catalog configuration guide.
Hope this will help you.

Pictures not appearing in after upgrade to SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP7 Patch4

Hello,
Due to some issues in Advanced search we performed the service pack upgrade from SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP5 (with MDM 7.1.03.72) to SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP7 Patch4 ( MDM 7.1.04.146). With this new SP, the Pictures are not appearing anymore under the Hyperlink section anwhere in Catalog browser( Compare, Context view, Item details). With earlier SP pictures were appearing perfectly.
We have done like this:( refer earlier thread - Re: SRM MDM Catalog 3.0 Image display) thanks Sudhanshu, Jitesh and Mandeep for suggesting that solution!
Using the hyperlink field
type : rendered
MIME type : image type i.e. .jpg
URL : web URL
We had gone for this option because we dont want to store impages in MDM, and this worked perfoectly until new SP upgrade.
Any clues?
Thanks
Pravin

Hi Bala,
Nothing appears under the Hyperlink section in Catalog browser, though a valid link exists in Data Manager under Hyperlink as type-Rendered, MIME type as JPG and a valid URL.
I have searched Service Market place for this fix of this issue and found that SAP has improved the technology ( from Object Cache to Blob Cache) to display pictures/hyperlinks from SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP06 and MDM 7.1SP04 onwards. We were on SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP05 and MDM 7.1 SP03 before Dev upgrade.
Here are the notes for reference of others who get into same issue.
Note 1450593 - Implementation of BlobCache
This note states "MDM7.1 SP04 offers new image caching functionality called Blob Cache. The old functionality of Object Cache is replaced with the Blocb Cache mechanism in Catalog 3.0 SP06 P1"
Note 1505796 - Images not showing in SRM-MDM catalog (error in BlobCache)
This note talks about the issue in MDM API with Blob Cache. The Fix has been provided in SRM-MDM Catalog SP08 Patch 01.
But upgrade is not something that happens on the drop of a hat, we dont want to do another upgrade, I would like to know if there is a workaround.
Thanks
Pravin

SRM MDM 3.0 Integration with PI 7.1

I have the integration scenario where Supplier list need to transfer from SRM 7.0 to MDM 7.1 using the PI 7.1.
Imported the content into ESR (SRM Server 7.0,SRM MDM catalog 3.0 ) . I have 2 issues.
1. Try to transfer the process integration scenario from ESR to ID , I am able to see the SRM_MDM_Catalog_30 scenario. But when it did not allow me to assign the business systems and connections .
It throws an error saying that" Cannot load action; check whether all the required actions have been released in the Enterprise Services Repository". So I have done all the steps manually.
I have created the Interface determination with the following details :
Sender Interface: CataloguePublicationRequest_Out
Sender Namespace: http://sap.com/xi/EBP
Receiver Namespace: http://sap.com/xi/SRM-MDMCatalog
Receiver Interface: MDMSupplierListTransmission_In
The issue is, it does give me the option to select the any operationmappign with the above details.
Any steps in ESR missing or any CacheRefresh issue?
Thanks in advance for any suggestion.

Check the Operation mapping,like what is anbound interface and outbound interface, these details should match with interface determination details(outbound interface details).if you have configured perfectly then it will show the operation mapping.
still if you have a problem then better to refresh the cache,it will solve the problem.even you can manually type the operation mapping name in Interface determination,and test end to end.
if it is also not working out,then create one interface copy objects from two name sapces http://sap.com/xi/EBP
, http://sap.com/xi/SRM-MDMCatalog . and finish ESR and and finish ID too..

Raj

What is use of Hyperlinks and Pdfs in srm-mdm catalog??

Hello friends,

Hi Mandy,
You can do this:
On the MDM Console, right click on the Repository -> Properties -> PDF -> Allow invalid PDFs -> Yes .
Alternatively,
You can also find some information about it on https://service.sap.com/srm within this link on the left frame go into
mySAP Supplier Relationship Mgmt --> mySAP SRM in Detail --> SRM 5.0 --> Catalog Content Management --> SRM-MDM Catalog and you will get the document.
Hope it helped.

Please check what all error logs appear in SLG1 and RZ10 and RZ20 transactions in this case.
Which SRM/CCM/MDM versions, support packs are you using ?
FYI, Catalog names are case sensitive.
OCI parameter should be like this.

70 datalanguage SY-LANGU
80 mask <blank>
90 named search <blank>
User name and password mainatined in MDM console is case sensitive.I would suggest you to follow this step
1.In MDM Console for User1 enter password as user1(note that password is all small case)
2.Ensure that you enter the password in similar manner in defining OCI.

Unable to add Item to Shopping Cart in SRM-MDM Catalog

Hi Guys,
I am using SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0, MDM 7.1 and SRM 7.0. I have done all the configurations in SRM as well as in Portal like External Web Service creation, Assigning Catalog in Organisational Plan, UI Config and OCI mapping.
I am able to see catalog on SRM-MDM web dynpro UI; however I am not able to select any item in the Catalog (the Checkbox is grayed out) and also I am not able to change the Quantity of any Item (by default it is 1). The Action column is also blank for all the items.
In the Catalog, both Select and Quantity Columns are in disabled mode. I am not able to edit their values.
I have tried all options in UI Config but no luck. Request you to please suggest if something needs to be done with the Config or I need to apply some SAP note.

Setting up SRM-MDM catalog 2.0 in PI 7.0

Hi guys,
Iu2019m configuring the scenario for SRM-MDM catalog 2.0 and in the IR when I open the configuration scenario SRM_MDM_Catalog I get the following error:
u201CSoftware component version with GUID 44345e20-149b-11da-ab19-eb7a0a114c15 does not existu201D
I went to a demo system and I found that this GUID belongs to the SWC SRM SERVER 6.0. So, it means this object SRM_MDM_Catalog from SWC SRM-MDM catalog is referencing some object in the SWC SAP SRM SERVER 6.0.. However, we are not working with SRM 6.0 but with 5.5 releases.
I also went to service marketplace and I didnu2019t find the package for SWC SAP SRM SERVER 6.0.
Without this SWC I canu2019t skip this error!! Anyone has faced this issue before? How can I get the PI content for SAP SRM SERVER 6.0.?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

I fixed by myself.
It seems the XI content "SAP SRM SERVER 6.00" is not yet available for customers, but a SAP friend sent me the content. Now the problem it's fixed.
Regards,
Ricardo.
