Multiple Client Systems and Multiple Repositories

Hello,
The client I am working on is insisting that we create two repositories and connect one repository to an R/3 system, and one to an ECC system.
Can this be done?! I keep insisting that this is against the basic principle of MDM to have 'one single version of the truth' and that having different data in different repositories is not true MDM.
Can this even be done? Or can it be done if each repositories hold the same data?

Hi Nichole,
I agree with Shiv that this totally depends on your business requirement. You can have two repositories if there is business requirement, only need to be taken care of Sizing. As you are keeping the same data in two repositories rather than one so as per performance you should take care of required memory, hard disk size etc.
e.g. There are scenarios where sometimes as per business requirement you have to create different repositories as per region. Like one for Europe, other for US etc.

How to Introduce Client System in Standard Repositories

Hi People
I am facing a problem to know how to add my client system in "VendorDemo" repository which is given as standard Repository by SAP MDM 5.5 SP2.
Is this not available in Demo system are is there any other method to add it ?
Veera

Hi Veera,
as to my knowledge, there are no restrictions regarding the number of client systems for the demo repositories. But in order to add a new client system [or edit an existing one] you have to unload the rep. first, then the context menu 'add cient system' is active. create your client system and load the repository again. There's no possibility whatsoever to create/edit client systems for a running rep.
Good luck!

How to find the executables for OWB Client, Design and Runtime Repositories

Hi Guys,
I have installed OWB 10G in the my local desktop (in D Drive). From the start menu, I can see the menu options for OWB Client, OWB Design Repository and OWB Run time Repository. If I want to get that execuatbles from which location can I find out. All the menu options are pointing out into d:\OWB Home \....\bin\launch.exe, but when we hit launch.exe nothing is displayed on the screen. can anyone give their suggestions pls
Regards
Kishan

launch.exe is the executable but if you look at the lnk files in your start menu the launch exe is followed by two parameters where the last one points to a specific cl file (I'm guessing short for command line) in the same bin directory that also contains a number of parameters. Here all the java jar files are listed that are needed to launch the specific component and how much memory the application can/may use.
So you won't find a classic windows executable if that is what you are looking for. But why are you searching for this in the first place since you can just copy the shortcut/lnk file if you want shortcuts in other places?

KMS license activation issues client systems within child domains

KMS Server Setup:
OS: W2K12 R2
KMS ver: 2012
Multiple child domains including a single domain in which the KMS server resides. All client systems and servers are scattered across the child domains throughout the enterprise.
The new KMS server, running OS 2012 R2 and KMS 2012, sits within a separate domain. All systems will eventually get migrated to this domain. I have two (2) KMS servers I plan on using to accommodate the pending activations. From reading I think you're allowed
to have a totla of six (6) KMS servers.
I've modified DNS to include placing the two servers within a security group and granting that group Full control permissions on the new _svc record.
As of right now I'm able to discover servers and client systems scattered across the enterprise. I've also confirmed the ability to update license status on a number of servers.
When attempting to update license credentials on client systems I get the following error:
Unable to connect to the WMI service on the remote machine.
I've come across a few systems that I've been able to update, most sitting within the same location. So I'm a little confused on how best to troubleshoot this issue.
In addition I have a few Macintosh systems running a virtual parallel of Win7 that are also getting this error when attempting to activate.
I've had other instances where when attempting to update license status the office products will get activated but not the OS.
This issue only occurs on client systems so I'm hoping to get some direction as I've ruled out firewall and blocked ports as the cause.
Any response appreciated.

remote WMI needs a few things to work;
a) networking/routing (can the destination machine be resolved by name? can you route to the destination machine?)
b) permissions (is the account you are using to connect to the target, permitted or denied?)(is there a trust?)
c) is WMI and DCOM on the target machine, healthy/configured correctly?
d) can you successfully connect/authenticate to the target machine, using tools such as msinfo32, compmgmt.msc, "WMIC /node:computername csproduct get name"

Building dts/ssis from client system

Hi All,
Is there any way, we can build a dts/ssis package with custom tasks at client system and place the package to package files under datamanager folder on server, so that we can associate with a data manager package.
Any Help will be greatly appreciated,
kranthi

Hi,
look at this Guide this may help you.
There is also a small executable (
%Servername%%Volume$%BPCWebsrvrWebInstallation) to register the Tasks on a client machine (with BI Dev Studio installed) but i don't recommend to build the Package on an other machine than the Server.
On a client machine we had problems to use the debug functionality of SSIS Dev-Studio.

SRM MDM with Multiple Repositories and required S&A.

Hello everyone,
We are in the planning process to migrate from CCM to MDM. Our current environment has two separate customers running on two separate SAP clients in SRM 5.0 using the internal CCM (one SAP SRM instance, 2 separate SAP clients).
In MDM it seems the concept of SAP client does not exist but the concept of an MDM Repository. I was thinking that by creating two dfifferent repositories (one for each customer) it would substitue the concept of the internal CCM on each SAP client.
Can we have one MDM system with two separate repositories one for each of the existing customers with the required S&A?
That is, customer A will logon to MDM to maintain only A's repository. Customer A must not be allowed to access B's repository and viceversa.
Also, Repository A would be published only for users using SRM system under SAP Client A, and Repository B would be published only for users using SRM system under SAP Client B.
The intention is that each customer will have their own electronic catalog.
Thank you.
Martin

Hi Martin,
The answer to your question is yes, it is possible to have one MDM system with two separate repositories one for each of the existing customers (that intend to have different electronic catalogs).
In fact, I think this would be the best way to separate: 1. data sets, 2. access.
1. Each MDM repository carries its own data set (like SAP client)
2. Each MDM repository has its own security (users/passwords, roles, etc.)
Another consideration (relates to point 1) is bringing data from SAP client (e.g. product master, contracts). Since you have two different SAP clients, managing replicated data from both of them in one MDM repository would be a form of suicide.
You can have multiple repositories on one MDM server. A common case is when you have a staging (master) repository, and a production (slave) repository. The slave repository is what you show to searching end users; the master repository is for data loads. You synchronize the slave repository with any changes from the master at such time when you're sure the master is good to publish.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Serguei

Centralised EHS system and users and organisations in multiple SAP systems

Wanted to have your experience/ advice or experience in setting up a centralised EHS system talking to multiple SAP systems and other ERP systems
If the client have sister companies and locations in multiple SAP systems , can we go for a centralised EHS system talking to multiple SAP systems
Is there a concept of application ID in EHS system : If so how EHS system can identify the < to EHS system records to tag the system > , <EHS system Records bound to have different configs for each ERP systems> and < from EHS system records to multiple SAP systems >
Can you list client experiences or roadblocks for this type of design

Hello
the answer to your question is: may be you can use a central EHS system. The reason is: EHS is correlated with MM. A SAP system in which EHS is used without MM makes "not realy" sense. So it is a matter of definition "what is a central EHS system".
EHS it selfs uses SAP standard techniques. That is "ALE" distribution to other SAP systems. The distribution of EHS data top NON SAP systems is possible to via XI (which is the common solution). If you use as the scenario SAP to SAP you must make your that standard EHS customizing is the same on both sides.
Furthermore SAP EHS is a "great" module with several submodules. So regarding each of the potential scenerios you need to check the necessary prerequisites. It ois very common to have EHS PS, DG, HSM in one system and to distribute data via ALE to a different system so that the EHS data can be used "decentral" in the several SAP logistic processes.
In most cases you need to distribute per ALE at least DG master and hazardous substance master.
As a starting point take a look here: http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_05/helpdata/en/c1/eda0f591ec12408b25e7a1b369ca45/frameset.htm

AC 5.3 Logical systems and multiple Physical systems

HI all:
We have set up a Logical System, and then have hooked up 2 Physical systems to it. Based on the documentation from SAP, the rule set (and the way we set it up) is at the Logical system level.
Physical system #1 is reporting the correct results, however, Physical system #2 results are not complete. My understanding is that both Physical systems should be drawing from the rule set based in the Logical system.
Results: Physical system #1 - correctly identifies 10 risks
Physical system #2 - incorrectly only identifies 5 of the expected 10 risks.
Role assignment to user is exactly same, authorizations are exactly the same. The User/Role/Profile Full Sync has been repeated as part of troubleshooting.
Has anyone experienced this? I'm looking for ideas/options on where to investigate why the results are different.
Thanks
Margaret

HI:
Thanks for answering!! I'm having trouble understanding the answers, sorry.
When you have a logical system...you upload the rules once to that system, and generate them. Then when you set up a physical system and hook it up to the logical system...the 1st, 2nd or 3rd physical system....they all use the same ruleset. The whole concept (as I understand) is that the use of Logical and Physical systems...and putting the rule set on the Logical system so you don't have to worry about one rule set taking precedence over another, is an advantage, if this is possible (ie: we don't have multiple rule sets).
Where should I be checking that the risks are defined properly? The rule set is the delivered one from SAP. The functions and risks match what we had (plus more) in the CC 4.0 system.
The first physical system we set up (example: Development) works fine, and all regular SoD risks are coming up as expected. When we added another system (example: Test)...the results of SoD analysis were incomplete.
Does that help clarify? Perhaps I'm just missing something?

Multiple BW systems and "unbundling" into 1

Hi
We have recently started implementing BW 3.5 running on HP TRU64 o/s and are unable to upgrade to higher version without changing our hardware as any further development on TRU64 ceased in Dec 2005. BW reports are delivered through windows based EP6.0.
Right now we are about to commence implementation of a portals based HR solution on ERP2005 and EP7.0 and reporting will be BW based using BW7.0 (NW2004s) which is required to deliver the solution we require. All of this will be running on a separate environment (except EP which we will upgrade from 6.0 to 7.0).
Regarding BW, SAP have suggested that we run BW7.0 for HR as a separate instance on the HR server. This sounds appealing to us as we can buy a medium size server now for HR and BW with the view of unbundling BW-HR and including it back on our central BW system once we upgrade the hardware and BW version. This will give us additional capacity on the HR side due to the expected growth in the organisation in the next 3-5 years.
Is it possible to unbunble the BW-HR system and incorporate it back into our other BW system? What challenges / problems are we going to face.
Thanks
Geoff

Hi Fahed,
Welcome to SDN !!!
I think we can have 2BW systems to a source system but the logical system name shouldn't be similar.
You are only allowed to change the logical system name if the system is not connected to other systems, as changing the name would render the connections to all connecting systems useless.
for more information go through this link..

Business System and Client

Hi
I checked many treads and still I couldn't get a satisfactory explanation to the difference between Business System and Client. I read in help.sap site that multiple business systems can be assigned to a single technical system and also each numbered client of an SAP system is a Unique Business System ? So are client and business system one ? If so why use it interchangably ? And if many business systems can be assigned to the technical system how do we specify a related Integration Server ? As I understand only one Business System can be assigned Integration server. So if we assign many business systems to one technical system then how can we have related Integration server for all ? I couldn't get a satisfactory explanation to this doubt in any thread in this forum
Midhun

>>each numbered client of an SAP system is a Unique Business System ?
It could be. But it is not necessary that each client of SAP system is communicating with PI. If it is then there will be one Business System for each client.
>> So are client and business system one ?
No. Client is more substantial category in SAP system. Business system just defines the logical name to these clients if they communicate with PI.
>> If so why use it interchangably ?
Actually they can't be used interchangably always. The only relation is that for each client of SAP system, there could be only one Business system.
>>And if many business systems can be assigned to the technical system how do we specify a related Integration Server ?
For related Integration Server name, you need to select the PI Business system name which would communicate with your business system. For a single SLD scenario you will see PI Dev, Q and Prod business systems.
>> As I understand only one Business System can be assigned Integration server.
Correct. Its a PI Business system.
>> So if we assign many business systems to one technical system then how can we have related Integration server for all ?
For all Business systems of 1 technical system, you need to select the same PI Business system name.

Adding system and client specific TMS approval steps

Hello,
In defining QA approval steps, how to define a step which is not system and client wide?
When adding a new step, it is automaticaly defined with * in the client and system fields, and when changing the steps, these fields are not editable. However, there are several approval steps for which a specific system and client are entered, but this was done by a consultant, who was here some years ago.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks in advance,
A

Hi Aleksandra,
Did you ever find a solution to this issue. I too have multiple QA systems in our landscape (4 system landscape), and yet I can not defined system/client specific approval procedures in STMS.
The system and client options don't even appear when I go into change mode, yet table TMSQASTEPS has the options available. Direct table update works fine, but it would be nice to know the "SAP standard" way of doing this.
Cheers
Shaun
