Hi Shai,
Refer the IT Scenario Configuration Guide for detailed use of Business Content
https://websmp207.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001119482007E
For syndicating Customer Master Data standard Maps are available for Syndication in your downloaded Business Content --> Customer -->Export.

Where to download MDM Business Content for PI 7.0/7.1?

Hi Everyone!
I kindly ask for your help on my problem: I am not able to find the MDM Business Content for PI 7.0/7.1 anywhere. I searched in the Service Marketplace for a long time, but without any results... https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/installMDM seemed to be a good place for it, as well as in "Software Distribution Center" -> "Support Packages and Patches" -> "SAP Content" -> "ESR Content (XI Content)", but neither supply the adequate file
Can anyone help me? Thank you very much!
Best regards
Benedikt

Christian, thank you very much!
Call me blind, but I still can't find it.
After Navigating to Support Packages and Patches --> SAP NetWeaver as suggested, I just have the following options:
SAP NETWEAVER
ADAPTIVE COMPUTING CONTROLLER
SAP NW IDENTITY MANAGEMENT
ACCEL. AD FOR SAP NETWEAVER
Technology components releases prior to SAP NetWeaver
When I follow to the first option (SAP NETWEAVER) I just have the options for various releases of SAP NetWeaver, but no MDM in one of them
Do you have another hint?

Importing XI Content for MDM Business or MDM Business Content 5.5 SCV to IR

Hi All,
I'm required to create a CRM->XI->MDM using the provided MDM 5.5 SP05 - Business Content - Business Partner in the. marketplace. From the pdf files that i have read, I understand that i would have to import SAP ABA 7.0, and MDM Business Content/XI Content MDM Business to use the interface objects, mappings and comm channel templates. I have two questions:
1) Should I be importing the XI Content MDM Business or the MDM Business Content 5.5 SWCV to the IR?
2) After importing the above SWCVs , all i get is an empty SWCV for Both MDM Business Content and XI Content MDM Business with no pre-defined namespace and no object. SAP ABA 7.,0 SWCV however is working fine, with all pre-defined namespaces, and objects intact. How can i remedy the MDM Business Content/XI Content MDM Business SWCV?

Hi Sushil,
While i'm not 100 per cent sure of about it, i'm fairly certain that there should be ( I might be wrong). Two documents in the sap service marketplace implies this:
In https://websmp204.sap-ag.de/installMDM under the "Installation" Header->MDM 5.5 SP05 - Business Content - Business Partner.zip, there's a pdf file in the zip folder there that states:
"The XI content for MDM delivers interfaces, interface mappings and communication channel templates tailored to the supported SAP remote systems
and the shipped MDM 5.5 SP05 repositories."
Under the same "Installation" header, there's the IT Scenario Configuration.pdf file. In the pdf file, under the "Setting up XI" section they indicated that as a pre-requisite:
"You have imported the XI content MDM Business 5.5 (XI 3.0) or MDM Business 5.5
7.00 (XI 7.0) to the Integration Repository.
This XI content delivers interfaces, interface mappings, and communication channel
templates tailored to the supported SAP remote systems and the shipped MDM
repositories. The included integration scenarios dramatically reduce the manual effort
required to define the message flow between MDM and the supported SAP remote
systems."
Hence. that's why it leads me to believe that importing the SWCV into the IR "should" give me a pre-defined namespace with some objects available. Any advice on what i should do or did i misread it totally?

Usage of MDM's material master relevant XI Content and Business Content

Dear all,
In MDM's material-relevant XI content, there's a message interface "MDMMatmasIn". But in the demo system this interface is not used to write material master data to file. The IDoc type MATMAS.MATMAS05 is used instead. No mapping is used. May I ask why?
I tried the 00_MATMAS05_R3.map file and can import file in the format of MATMAS.MATMAS05. But some value mappings are not done and have to be added manually. Do I miss precedent steps?
In MDM Business content, there're lots of import map files like 00_MATMAS05_R3.map and 03b_Units_SAP_R3.map. During the data consolidation procedure, should we just use one map to import the IDoc-XML file? Shouldn't we first use other map file to fill the lookup tables? If not, what are those map files used for? Is there any document about the usage of those map files?
Very sorry for asking so many questions. I'm very new in this area and desperately need help...
Best Regards
Jerome

Hi Christiane,
Thanks for the document. But I didn't find how to import the customization data into the lookup tables. For example, in the MDM standard business content, the "Material" repository contains a lookup table "Material Type". It doesn't contain the values like "ROH" and "HAWA". How can we fill such tables?
And the standard map "00_MATMAS05_R3" doesn't automatically add such values into lookup table by value mapping. When I tried to import a material master, I had to manually modify this map. Is there any solution to this problem?
Best Regards
Jerome

XI Business content for MDM - Syntax error in IDOC adapter

Hi mates,
I'm trying out the Master Data Harmonization scenario for Vendor data with R/3 as the client system. I'm using SAP delivered XI Business content for MDM. The mapping program is generating ADRMAS and CREMAS IDocs but the IDOC adapter reports that there is a syntax error in ADRMAS IDOC. Find below the details.
<SAP:Category>XIAdapter</SAP:Category>
<SAP:Code area="IDOC_ADAPTER">ATTRIBUTE_IDOC_METADATA</SAP:Code>
<SAP:P1>Segment 'E1BPAD1VL', segmentnumber '000001' not correct in structure ADRMAS02</SAP:P1>
<SAP:P2 />

</E1BPAD1VL>
</E1ADRMAS>
</IDOC>
</ADRMAS02>
Strangely, the control record is blank. I looked at the XSLT program, it is coded that way. I do not understand the reason. Is the error pointing to the control record?
Look at the code sample from XSLT mapping program
<xsl:for-each select="IDOC/*/E1ADRMAS">
 <IDOC BEGIN="1">
 
 <EDI_DC40 SEGMENT="1"/>
 <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
 </IDOC>
</xsl:for-each>
How can an IDOC w/o control record be posted?
Did anyone come across this error? Whats wrong/missing?
I appreciate ur inputs.
thx in adv
praveen

Moorthy,
I tried reloading the IDOC metadata from IDX2. Still I get the same error.
Regd, IDOC w/o control record, can u elaborate on "dynamic value while posting IDOCs". From where, XI message SOAP header with Business System replaced by corresponding logical system names?
Thanks
Praveen

MDM 7.1 Business Content....

I downloaded the MDM 7.1 business content. For example Customer Master Business content is MDM71400_CUSTOMER.SDA. How to open this SDA file?
I downloaded the openoffice software to open this file but not sure how to open this one.
Anyone can help me with this?

Hi Mike,
.SDA file is totally different from .A2A file, and .SDA does not contain .a2a file.
To use .a2a file, you have to put this file in " <MDM server installation Directory>/Archives" directory. Then open MDM console. Right click on MDM server (After mounting MDM server) and select "Unarchive Repository". After this provide the Database credentials(userid and password) and then on the next screen provide repository name and select the .a2a file from the dropdown and select OK.
This will unarchive your repository .a2a file on the MDM server and repository will be ready for use.
For more details please refer to Console Reference Guide [using this Link |http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmdm71/helpdata/en/49/bea6800cc92222e10000000a42189d/content.htm]

MDM Business Partner 5.5 Not Creating Customer Master in SAP ECC

Hi,
I am importing Business Partner into ECC from MDM using XI with BP Business Content. This is done using proxy.
The business partner is created sucessfully but the customer master table KNA1, KNB1 is not being populated.
Does anyone experienced this before? Or has a solution for this?

I am not creating customer in ECC. I am creating Business Partner, this is because we are using IS-U which uses the BP instead of the Customer Master.
So we are using the MDM BuPa to ABAP BuPa mapping.
The thing about this is, when we run the transaction BP to create Business Partner, it automatically creates a mirror KNA1 record to match the business partner. But through MDM-XI proxy, it is not creating the record.

Business content - Customer, Business Partner or both

Hi
We have a task where we need to decide which business content to choose: Customer or Business Partner. Our current requirements points out that we can fulfill 90% of the requirement by utilizing the Customer information modell in SAP ECC.
Our MDM scenario (decentralized MDM strategy) looks like this:
Customer created in SAP ECC and then sent via SAP PI to SAP MDM. From SAP MDM the customer data is then distributed to SAP CRM and other non-SAP systems.
Should we utilize both the business content (Customer, Business Partner) in SAP MDM as templates since the business content for Customer is based on ECC and business content for Business Partner is based on SAP CRM. If so I assume that we need to create a syndication to the Business Partner repository for each customer created in the Customer repository. Then we need to initiate a syndication to SAP CRM from the Business Partner repository. Is it better in this scenario to have Customer- and Business Partner in the same repository?
So two questions based on the above input:
Which Business content to use Business Partner, Customer or both?
Should they be in separate repositories or in the same? (I understand that by keeping them in the same we create a more tight connection so that if you want to make changes in the Customer repository we need to unload the repository and thereby also influencing the Business Parter related harmonization processes).

Hello Göran,
Customer created in SAP ECC and then sent via SAP PI to SAP MDM.
From SAP MDM the customer data is then distributed to SAP CRM and other non-SAP systems.
I would suggest to consider Centralized MDM strategy (Still like to know the thought behind Decentralized MDM Strategy).
Customer should be created first in SAP MDM and then it should be syndicated to other systems.
Benefits of having Centralized MDM strategy are...
1. You can differentiate between potential Customers and Actual Customer by implementing Approval process.
2. You can use MDM key strength, that is Match & Merge feature which help avoiding duplicates.
3. You cat get most out of SAP MDM using Centralized MDM strategy.
Which Business content to use Business Partner, Customer or both?
Depends on your business need.
Should they be in separate repositories or in the same?
Having them in two independent repositories will be beneficial, because...
1. For avoiding tight connection (as you stated)
2. You can use SAP Business Content very well.
3. Repositories created based on SAP Business Content will be flexible from long term perspective (Upgrade, Maintenance etc).

Unable to 'set the default source system' to Install Business Content

Hi,
Maars here. This is my first post hoping that in future ones I'll also be lending a helping hand.
I am trying to 'Install Business Content' under the BUSINESS CONTENT section in txn RSA1. I am doing this after 'Transfer Data Sources' in R/3 and I can now see all the data sources (under the application component hierarchy) for the source system. But I am not able to see the Info Objects in the Business Content.
When I try to set R/3 as the default source system (got this screen after clicking a icon in the standard tool bar), BW is not saving the settings ie., I set the R/3 as the default and then click on OK. If I go back to the same screen again, I find that my settings were NOT saved.
Could you please help me out?
Thank you.

Hi,
It seems to be a bug in version 3.5.
Do like this:
After you open the screen to choose the dafault source system
Clcik on 3rd button(F6) available in the bottom of the scrreen.
And then select teh tick mark for required system.
And then click on Continue button
You have do this step before you drop the cube to right side of the cube.
Ok, even after all these steps , if you reopen the screen you would not see Tick mark u have done just before. DONOT WORRY ABT it.
Drag and drop required cube with dat flow before.
Now you can see the Transfer rules with selected Source system only in the collected Objects.
With rgds,
Anil Kumar Sharma .P
