New password to MDM server

Hi All
We have SAP MDM test environment, where right now we do not have password to MDM server. We would like to change password not to be blank.
Can you tell me what are the consequences for doing so? For example each time we have to log on with our user password and Server password when we would like to perform some actions?
I was asked to get list of all functions we will have to user server password after we will change it from blank.
our pasword is blank here:
Open MDM Console
mount server
right click - choose change password
Thank you very much.
I was trying to find answer in manuals, but right now with no success.
Thank you in advance.

Hi Sani
Thank you for your replay. Can you tell me how complex operations in daily basis we will have after creating a password?
If many functions will require to log on, then maybe is not valid to do it.
Our plan is to move some of the SAP MDM User Administration tasks to other IT department. Therefore I believe is good idea not to have "blank" password.
Do you know what is general "the best MDM procedures" to move some tasks to other delartments? It is good idea to spleat tasks between departments or rathernot, maybe only one "SAP MDM department" should perform all the tasks in MDM area?
Thank you in advanced.

Initialization of MDM Server Password

How to initialize MDM Server Password?
While starting Console application, one need to connect to server by starting MDM Server. If it is password protected, how to initialize the password?
How and where these controls are provided?

Hi Rajesh,
By default, MDM Server is not initialized with any password.
Setup password for MDM Server:
Once the MDM server is mounted and started. Right click on the server and click "Change Password". Enter the new password and confirm the password.
1. When you try to mount the password protected MDM server<b>(Which is in Running state)</b> to the MDM Console then it will ask for the password.
2. If the password protected MDM Server is mounted and stopped. It will ask for the password once you try to start the MDM Server.
Hope this helps.
Thanks and Regards

MDM Server Password Parameter in SRM Web Service for SRM MDM Catalog 2.0

Hi Experts,
We have password set on our MDM server. I am little confused about how to define MDM server password parameter in external Web service Call structure in SRM System for SRM MDM Catalog 2.0.
Will Catalog webservice work, if we don;t define password for MDM server in webservice??if No, then please let me know how to define MDM server password in SRM websevice.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Shiv

Hi Shiv,
The MDM Server password is needed when you are changing Webdynpro UI Configuration.
For catalogs, all you need is the repository userid/password parameters in the call structutre.

MDM Server Password Reset

Hi,
In our MDM, someone has accidently change the password for the Server. As an Admin, how can I reset the MDM Server level Password without knowing the old password.
Regards,
Tanveer

Tanveer,
Only way to do it is go to underlying database, if you have access or a DBO can do that (with all permisions). In database every repository is saved under database tab, there Under tables--> you have mdm user table enteries and the password can be reset.
Otherwise you can not login to repository means no other way to do this.
I hope it will help. Please rewards if found helpful.

I reset the passwords in my server database, I put the new password in DW?

Hi, stupid question but things aren't quite working here. I am moving my site to a new host and I changed the passwords to my database to the same passwords for simplicity. (also because I wasn't sure what the old ones were and I don't want to hold up the move.)
Anyway, I reset the database password then went into D.W., site/edit/remote server and entered the new database password. That was correct right?
It's not connecting but it might just need more time. Want to make sure I did it right.

Which database password are you referring to?
There's the FTP password which DW needs to connect to your remote site for file uploads/downloads.
Then there are the database passwords on the server if you're using MySql databases. Those have nothing to do with the DW FTP password.

HT1414 My email account on my i phone will not allow me to enter new password. Each time my phone says that the yahoo server is unavailable. What is the problem so that I can once again get my email on my phone?

My iphone will not accept my new password for my email account. It keeps saying that the yahoo server is unavailable. what is the problem and how can I get my phone to accept m;y new password so I can once again get my mail on my phone?

This may work, try deleting the Yahoo email account from your phone and then re-add it, using your new Yahoo password.
If that doesn't work, log into your Yahoo account from a computer and double-check that you are entering the correct password. Also, your password may be case sensitive, so enter it into your iPhone the exact the same way you created it.
Let us know what happens!

MDM Server Window Service failed after adding server password

After adding MDM server password, MDM server window service can't start up. We have to use clix command to start the server. Is there anyway to fix window service problem?

Hi Jean,
From the version number it sounds like you're using version 5.5 SP4, right? The Console application was significantly changed in SP5 and you would no longer see the locked server icon... If you unmount the server from the Console, and re-mount it, isn't there an option on the context menu for the tree (right-click on the server node) to provide the password? Did you try "Connect to Server" or "Start Server" on this context menu?
Thanks... I don't know if I can help you with your problem, but I will try!

TS3276 I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails to people in my address book. Hotmail advised me to change my password for that account, which I did. Why won't mail recognise the new password?

I have recently had a problem with one of my hotmail accounts, some sort of virus sending random emails from my address book. Hotmail advised me to delete all contacts and change the password for that account, which I did on my laptop running windows XP. The change was successful and I was able to send and receive emails with no problem. I then had to change the account password on my iPhone 4s, which I did and it too was successful but when I came to change the password on my iMac, running the latest version of Lion it would not recognise the new password. I have tried to remove the account details and re-install but every time I go to add new account my old details are in the box. This is very frustrating as I use my iMac for all my profects and I need to access my email. Please help.

hi guys,
I had already deleted all reference to the hotmail account in question from the keychain access app, I have also tried to delete and re-instal the account details from within mail. The icon in the side bar dissapears but when I go to Add Account, the old account details are in the new account box. I then input my new password but am told that the server does not recognise it. If I access hotmail via google on the iMac I can get into my account with no problems. I am thinking there must be some other form of security system within the mac software that is blocking the new password. This is driving me nuts. I have been trying to resolve this for the last two days. Thank you for your advise anyway.

Yesterday I changed my email password on my home computer. Today, I can't get any new emails on my Samsung Galaxy 4; I deleted the email account entirely and tried to set it up again as a new account, using the new password, but it keeps giving me an error message that reads: Cannot safely connect to server. The new password is working on my home computer. I even tried the old password; it just gave me the same error message.

I'm sorry you're having issues with your e-mail account on your phone Rusty1112. Let's figure out what's going on. First, please try deleting account/information again and then restart phone. When phone is back on, try adding e-mail account again, and be sure you're entering exactly as you set up, meaning its case-sensitive. If you're still getting same error, please let us know and let us know what e-mail account it is, Yahoo, AOL, MSN, etc.
Thank you,

HT201320 How do I enter a new password into my ipad mini?

My BtYahoo account was "compromised" on the evening of 4th Feb......it affected tablets etc. As requested by BT Internet I changed my password and did all the other listed checks without finding anything untoward. I can use my desktop and iphone, but I don't know how to put the new password into my ipad mini. I tried deleting the old password from mail etc in settings, and putting the new one in, but still can't send mail. I'm assuming the password is the problem....I'm sure that there must be a correct way of changing it that I haven't discovered. Help please! Ariesowl

I'm not familiar with BtYahoo specifically, but generally speaking, there are two passwords for an email account. One is for receiving and one is for sending email. Check Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > [your email account] > [Advanced --- or outgoing mail server]
... and look for a password in that area.

Error while connecting to MDM server from Webdynpro

Hi ,
   I am trying to connect to MDM server (5.5 SP04 no patches) through a webdynpro application . The following is the piece of code that I am using as a test .
CatalogData CatalogData = new CatalogData();
    int resultLogin = 0;
    try {
          resultLogin = CatalogData.Login("USNOC01AQ05",2005,"Admin","Erico1234","English [US]");
    }catch(Exception e){
          wdContext.currentContextElement().setValueattr("Not Connected");
         //System.out.println("Error while establishing connection");
    if (resultLogin != RC.RC_OK){
          wdContext.currentContextElement().setValueattr("Not Connected");
         //System.out.println("Error logging to the SDM server");
         //System.exit(-1);
     wdContext.currentContextElement().setValueattr("Connected");
    //System.out.println("MDM server connected");
The import statements are as follows
import a2i.common.CatalogData;
import a2i.generated.RC;
I have put the following jar files in the java build path
MDM4J
mdm-admin
mdm-common
mdm-core
mdm-data
mdm-protocol
When I deploy my application I get the following error
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: a2i/common/CatalogData
It can't be determined from the exception chain, which class loader failed to load the above class. But at least the class loader of the current application does not contain a resource with name 'a2i/common/CatalogData'.
What do you guys think is the problem ?
Regards
DeepaK Singh

Hi ,
   I found a document which says that MDM4J is the legacy API and is considered deprecated .The MDM Java API is the new one .I have both of them in the java build path . I am not sure if this is that cause of the problem .
Now I had a look at the javadoc for the new API but I am not able to locate the class to obtain a connection to the MDM server from a custom application being built in Netweaver Developer Studio . Can someone help me out with the same ?What would be the code to obtain the connection to the MDM server with the new JAVA API ?

How to find out the SDM password in WAS server

Hi Friends,
can any one explain how to see the SDM password in WAS server. It is very need ful and urgent?
Thanks & reagards

Hi,
in my opinion you can't see the password. But you can change it.
Changing the (remote) SDM Password
Since the SDM Server offers you functions that you can use remotely, they must be protected from unauthorized use. For this reason, the SDM requires remote users to authenticate themselves with a password. The default shipped password is sdm. You can change this password in the following ways:
Pushbutton in the remote GUI
changepassword command
sdm changepassword sdmhome=<...> newpassword=<...> [password=<...>]
where
newpassword: New password
password: Old password. Since 6.30 SP5, this parameter has been set optional so that the password can be changed without reference to its current value. If this parameter is specified, its value will be ignored.
Note: changepassword command can be executed only if SDM server is stopped (see stop/start SDM Server) and it is in standalone mode (see jstartup). It would be better to return SDM in the same state as it was before the execution.
regards
Timm

Find SA password in sql server 2000

Hi Team
i have 2 sql servers
1. sql server 2000
2. Sql server 2008R2
now i'm migrating some database from old server to new sql server
but i forgot my SA password on my old server (sql2000)and no one has sys admin access
can any one help me how do i get sa password
could you plz tell me step by step process
Kamal

Hi,
You cannot find SA password as a fact you cannot see any password for SQL server its hashed. Below article would help you in logging in SQL server when all administrators are locked out I am not sure whether it will work in SQL server 2000 as I barely remember
having such issue on 2000
In SQL server 2005 if started with -m option any user who is member of Built in administrator ( or added as admin in local windows account) can connect regardless of whether the BUILTIN\Administrators group has been granted a server login that is provisioned
in the SYSADMIN fixed server role. This behavior is by design. This behavior is intended to be used for data recovery scenarios. Check if same holds for SQL 2000 as well
Connect to SQL server when Sysadmins are locked out
Do you have any other login which is member of sysadmin. I cannot find a reason to shutdown SQL Server what if its a production DB ( yes I know few SQL 2000 which are still production) use backup restore to move databases always.

Error starting the MDM server in client system

Hi MDM Experts,
I am new to MDM and we have just installed MDM 5.5 on our system. We are able to 'Mount the Repository' via the MDM Console on the client side but when we try to 'Start MDM Server', we encounter the error below:
"Error starting MDM server: The machine (server name) is not Windows-based. The MDM server cannot be started from this application; please use CLIX on the machine instead."
What must we do to resolve this error? Please help us on this matter.
Thanks in advance!
ASP

Hi ASP,
MDM server operations can Be performed through Console only if your Server is Windows based.
You can perform the some repository options through Console ,but for any Server based operations like Mounting the server,Start/Stop server etc you will have to operate through the CLIX ie Command line interface.
I Guess yours is a Unix based system or something else which is not Windows based.
so it will not allow you,
Either you install your server on a windows based system to operate through Console.
Or if you want to continue with the NON windows based system then you will have to use CLIX for most of your Console opeartions.
Hope It Helped
Thanks & Regards
