Port disabled in Import Manager
Hi,
I created remote system, port (with map and XML Schema) in Console and tried to import XML file manually in Import Manager using port option. The port I created in console is appearing in the drop down but in grey color and in disabled mode. I could not import data from XML file.
Did I miss anything?
Thanks.
Hi,
In ready folder, whatever XML file you placed then Port for this get enabled, it only after selecting port it checks wheteher your XML content Verifies with your XSD.
it may be due to :
1. Firstly in MDM Console , All port Settings which have you done is correct:
Type = Inbound, Remote System = say ECC, ofcourse your Map = which you saved in import Manager, Format = XML Schema, XML Schema = Select your XML Schema ( which you saved in XML Schemas table), Processing Type =Automatic, file Aggregation count =1 and Block on Structura Exception = Yes , Here in Staus it will show Has Data if your XML file is placed in ready folder otherwise Empty.
Apart from this, During Import Manager, Select your Type = Port, Remote Sytem = ECC which you defined During MDM Console Carefully, if u r selcting any other Remote System Port in MDM Import Manager will not get enabled.
Hope it will Help you,

Import two file with Import manager
Hello expert MDM,
I needs to import two Source file from different systems (Navision and ERP 2005). I am not using XI. but i have extract the both source manually and i have two XML-file with duplicate. I would like to import the both file with Import manager. I have import one file successfully. But I can not import the second file because the Button "Get the second Source" is faded out. Could you give me Input how can I solve this problem?
Thanks in advanceHi badang,
To Import Second file please follow these steps:
In Import Manager after you import your first file then go to <b>File --> Connect to Source</b> in import manager, a new window comes then specify your second file name and perform Import normally.
Regarding the Get the second source i found this documentation from reference guide:
The Port drop-down list includes an entry for each inbound port you define in the MDM Console for the selected Remote System; those that do not have files waiting or are locked by another user are disabled in the drop-down list. When you select a port, the
MDM Import Manager automatically selects the first source data file that is waiting to be processed; you can then use the Get Next Source File command to select each succeeding file.
Thanks and Regards,

MDM Import Manager Ports Disabled
Hi,
I created remote system in Console and tried to import XML file using Import Manager using port option. The port I created in console is appearing in the drop down butis greyed out
Can anyone help please.
I have the XML File in the Ready Folder
Thanks.Hi Harsha,
Are you using an XML schema to import the XMl file into MDM?
With higher versions of MDM, you need to import the XML file using a related XML schema which you have to upload in Console and also choose in the Port setting.
This completes the linking of the XML schema with the port and when you place an XML in the port, it automatically chooses the XML schema mentioned and imports the file.
You need to choose the XML schema in the Format property of the Port. And then mention the XML schema in the XML schema property of the Port. You will find all these properties under the Port table under the Admin Node in the Console.
I guess, you are not using the XML schema and hence the port might be disabled. Please check it out. Also after doing this, doing this, place the file in the inbound port ready folder.
Hope this info help.
Thanks and Regards

Unable to select the created Ports(greyed out) in the import manager
Hi ,
We have created some ports with specific Remote system and XML schema's and also assigned the map to it.
The processing type is manual for now,since we want to load data manually using import manager from the Ready folder of the port since PI is dropping the files there.But when I load import manager and select the file type as "Port" and also the relevant remote system ,I cannot select any of the list of ports created ,All are greyed out.
All I need is to select "Port" option ,remote system and use the created port from the dropdown list of import manager " connect to source" step,which i am unable to select as all the port s are greyed out and unable to select.
Any help greatly appreciated...Hello Arvind,
There is no need to start the MDIS (Import server) if you are importing the data manually.you just open the import manager, login into the repository and select type as XML as per your case and select the remote system (it depends on your requirement) and select the port on which your xml files resides.and enter in the import manager then map you data accordingly and you can import into the repository.
when you want to automate the process for importing the data in repository then you will need to Start the import Server. In that case import server automatically pick the file from the ready port folder and also set the property in console as the processing type is Automatic.
Hope this will help you and clear your doubt.

Cannot find the maps stored in import manager during port creation
Hi All,
I am unable to find any maps that i saved in import manager during port creation ,the maps are not showing in dropdown list during port creation in console.Do i need to store the maps that i have in import manager in specific place under mdm server,so that i can see them during port creation.
All i need to do is assign my import map during inbound port creation,but i cannot find any maps in console.
Could I know whether i am storing my maps some where other than default location.
Thanks
AravindHi Aravind,
First of all check the remote system assigned to ur Port. After that go to import manager. When u logon to the import manager, u get a window "Connect to source". Mention the same remote system over there.Select the file type.Browse the file and map the fields,values,field matching and save the map. then unload the repo and assign the map to the port.
Second way is, u create the port first and give any particular remote system to it. Put the file (u want to use for mapping) in the ready folder of that port and in connect to source window select the type as port, remote system(ame as used port port) and port.then map and save. unload the repo and assign the map to port. Ready folder will be in ur server at location: C drive or D drive->SAP MDM 5.5 ->server->distributions->repo name->inbound->port code->ready. For this option, Ur port type should be manual. After assigning the map u can change it to automatic or keep it manual as per ur requirement.
Hope this solves ur problem.

Dheeraj.

Help using workflow for import manager
hi all,
assumes import server is used for automation creation/update of records,
i need to design a workflow to verify existing record that:
if a validation pass: update all fields + update mapping key
if a validation fail : update mapping key only
can anyone provide good suggestion on how it can be done via workflow?
MDM API is out of scope...
thanks,
ShantiHello Shanti
Import manager and import server launch workflow after data loading is finished.
You cannot manage loading rules from workflow.
You can create two inbound ports:
one for keys loading
another one for keys+fileds loading

Accessing Unix folder while selecting source file in Import Manager,GUI
Hi,
I am using MDM 5.5 sp04.I am trying to use MDIS to automat the importing process.
Challenge is to use a map in port which will be used by MDIS.
Our MDM server system is in Unix. How I can select input file residing in unix folders( say ready folder of Material) from IM tool drop down so as to save that map and assign that map in Port.
Is a file can be used from window folder in IM ,save the map and assign it in Inbound port ?
Is there will be an conflict in this case since MDIS will be receiving the file from Ready folder(in unix) but the map of the inbound port will be having the source in different folder in window?
Appreciate your help/suggestion
ReoHello:
you shouldn't need to do that under MDIS. The thing is, use the Import Manager on windows to create the mapping file (importing a file also in windows)
When you created the mapping file, assign it to a port. Ports include a specific folder where you need to put the new file to be imported. Please refer to port documentation to find out where this folder is.
The map only has the "mapping structure", and the file will be taken from the port specification

Retreive Next Source File in MDM Import Manager
Hi all,
I am curious about the above feature in the MDM Import Manager. It can be found under File menu but I found that it is always greyed out even if I have selected multiple files. When I select multiple files, the system is clever enough to take all the records in the file so it doesn't seem to be used to move from one file to another. I couldn't find any information on the Import Manager guide so am trying this forum. Note that I have also searched on the forum before posting.
Appreciate if anyone can share their insight into this feature.
Cheers!
SFHi SF,
Yes I too did not come accross any document about this.
However,I guess this is something which helps you in exception handling.
When you handle exception of a port and there are multiple files,then you need "connect to source" again and again.
It takes you to next exception file.
Hope this helps!
Thanks,

Import Manager - Problem with 0..n field in Import Manager
Iu2019m having problems with XMLs that contain multiple or single tags in MDIS process. For example: I did the map using a XML with multiple tags for Address:
<address>
<item>
u2026
</item>
<item>
u2026
</item>
</address>
When I send two address or more Address, the Import Server work fine, but when I send only one Address, the address is not imported.
<address>
<item>
</item>
<item>
</item>
</address>
Opening the xml file with only one Address in Import Manager, I saw that the fields isnu2019t mapped, but when I open a xml file with multiple Address itu2019s open correctly.
The XSD cardinality for the Address\Item is 0..nHi Evandro ,
If it is processing the input file correctly through the Manul Import manager process then update your latest Map by using SAVE As option or else save this correct map with a new name altogether and use this new map in the port for automatic importing.
If your file is able to process correctly through the Import manager without showing any errors till the Import step in the Import manager then this map must be correct and shoul automate the importing correctly.
Provided you are using the similar file for automatic importing as well.The file name and the fields as well as the value mapping as saved in this corrected map must not differ with the input file else this saved map will not be able to import correctly.
Check to see if you have made correct setting for automatic importing by refering the below link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm550/helpdata/en/43/12036df94c3e92e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm (Automatic importing MDIS - Import manager ref guide>MDM import server(MDIS)>MDIS Consfiguration)

SAP MDM Import Manager connect to Oracle Database.
Hi expert,
I try to connect to Oracle DB with SAP MDM Import Manager but I cant.
I entered property in "Connect to Sorce" window.
============================================
Type : Oracle
Remote system : MDM
DBMS server : <DBMS host>:<listener port>
Database : Oracle_SID
User : Oracle database user
Password : Oracle database user password
============================================
then error ocurred.
"Unable to connect to source"
I aleady checked to connect to the Oracle database with Oracle client.
It is connected well.
How can I connect ??
thanks and regards
junHi all,
thank you for your replies.
I tried to connect oracle DB except "< and >" symbol but It did not work.
I installed windowXP 32bit , Oracle client 32bit and SAP MDM Import manager 32bit in My local PC.
Also I connect to MDM DB using sqlplus in My local PC.
I wonder that TNSNAME.ORA is used DB connection using SAP MDM Import manager ??
I think TNSNAME.ORA is not used when I connect to DB using SAP MDM Import manager because I enter parameters are properties of TNSNAME.ORA.
I don`t know why don`t connect to DB.

MDM Import manager data sources
Hi experts,
As far as I know MDM has ETL capabilities with MDM Import/syndicator tools that allows to load and extract data to and from MDM using files and relational databases as source/target.
What different kind of data sources supports MDM Import manager?
When should we work with SAP XI/PI?
When sould we work with ETL (Data Services as Data Integrator)?
Thanks in advance,
Abby
Edited by: Abigail Beurmann on Nov 23, 2011 11:38 AMHi Abigail,
So, Could you please tell me if it's a common practice to import data in MDM using files?
for example as you said, We want to import data from R/3 to MDM using XML files that XI/PI generates?
Yes its a common practice to import data in MDM in files.Most common mode of data exchange is xml which has many advantages namely it is accepted open standard,allows to clearly separate content from form (appearance), is text-oriented,is Secure, is extensible,is self-describing, is universal; meaning internationalization is no problem and XML is a future-oriented technology.
In our business scenario, We have a SAP CRM with SQL server 2005 as a source. Could MDM automatically import data directly from SQL Server or it's a better practice to generate XML files with PI using the Import Port/folder?
One should always use a interface as business rules can possibly change and making a later change could be huge ask.
So PI can act a interface between MDM and CRM.
CRM supports Bdoc and PI can integrate with CRM with help of ABAP Proxies.
The following thread provides you in depth information on integration of the 2 systems:

Hi everyone,
We are using the MDM Import Manager Batch to import data automatically. Can we write in our ImportBatch.ini the file name with * at the end : CREMDM.CREMDM04*.xml
because the file name comes with time stamp (CREMDM.CREMDM0420061129-103959-602.xml)
[Source]
Type=XML Schema
XML Schema=CREMDM04
File name= \...\... CREMDM.CREMDM04*.xml
DSN=
DBMS Server=
Database=
User=admin
In advance thanks,
AkliluHi Aklilu,
the names of the XML files don't matter. MDIS tries to process everthing that is put into the ready folder. The ready folder is processed in a "first comes, first served" way. So there's no need to change the names. Is the time stamp in the file name really a problem? If yes, why?
> We are trying to parameter the mdis.ini and until now it does not work.
Could you specify this? In addition, I've got a few hints:
MDIS has to have the same build version as the MDM Server. In addition, MDIS has to be running (in Windows, you can check this in the Services Screen). Furthermore you should have a look at the Console's port definition (select your repository, go to Admin -> Ports in the menu tree). The port has to be configured correctly (XML Scheme, which map to be used, and so on). Very important: you have to set the port to automatic processing.
Here's a sample for the MDIS.ini:
[GLOBAL]
Version=5540
Server=WDFD00146633A
Interval=30
Automap Unmapped Value=True
Unmapped Value Handling=Add
Always Use Unmapped Value Handling=False
VXR_MAX=25000
Verbose=0xFFFF
-- Verbose OFF: 0x0000
-- Verbose ON: 0xFFFF
-- FI Verbose: 0x0001
-- XML Verbose: 0x0002
-- MAP Verbose: 0x0004
-- THRD Verbose: 0x0008
-- PARSER Verbose: 0x0010
-- STRUCTX Verbose: 0x0020
-- VALUEX Verbose: 0x0040
-- IMPORTX Verbose: 0x0080
String Resource Dir=C:PROGRA~1SAPMDM~1.5IMPORT~2LangStrings
Log Dir=Logs
SLD Registration=False
[SP04_BUSINESS_PARTNERWDFD00143366AMSQL_21_13_4_3]
Login=Admin
Password=
Chunk Size=50000
No. Of Chunks Proccessed In Parallel=5
Using the Verbose parameter you can define which errors, issues, messages and so on should be written into the MDIS log. You can find the logs directly in the port's log folder and in the log folder of your MDIS installation directory. If MDIS is not working or the import fails, these files contain some helpful information.
Kind regards

In the import Manager, I am unable to connect to any source database - Oracle, SQL Server. It gives me error message that the database is unavailable. But I can ping the databases and connect to them externally. I tried creating creating connections and ports in MDM console. I do not find any place where I can give details of database etc.
Hi Jay,
Please refer to the following link:
Import using Oracle
Also, make sure that Oracle client is installed on the server for MDM.
If you connect to source that is Oracle, then you must install Oracle client on the machine that is running the IM, for this source "file" - IM is connecting directly to that Oracle database (not thru MDM server).
I hope this helps,
