Port sequence and file processing in SAP MDM

Hi All,
Can any one let me know how port sequence mechanism works in MDM 7.1? As per my understanding in SAP MDM no one files from different ports are processed simultaniously...Suppose if you have three different ports A,B,C and the scenairo is as below:
SAP PI sends 2 files to A port and then sends 2 more files to B port and then sends 1 file to C port....All these files are not send simultaniously.
Thanks
Rajeev

Once started, MDIS scans inbound ports in the order set by the Sequence column in the Ports pane of the MDM Console. When it finds a port containing an import file, it uses the portu2019s associated import map to process the file.
The sequence in which MDIS processes ports is not affected by a portu2019s remote system.
MDIS processes all files in a portu2019s Ready folder before scanning the next port in the sequence.
When more than one import file is present in the folder, MDIS processes the files in a FIFO (first in, first out) order, meaning the oldest file in the port is processed first, then the next oldest, and so on.
Under certain circumstances, MDIS will skip over a port and not process any import files it may contain. These circumstances include the following:
·        Port is set up for manual processing instead of automatic.
·        Port is blocked due to a structural exception.
·        Port is connected to an Import Manager or other MDIS.
Once all ports on the MDM Server have been scanned, MDIS waits the number of seconds specified in the Interval property of the mdis.ini file before restarting the sequence (for more information, see MDIS Configuration).
Thanks,
Shambhu.

Brief discussion on SAP XI and its' Integration with SAP MDM.

Hi,
I have never worked on SAP XI.
I am discussing it on brief, please give your valuable replies.
SAP XI consists of System Landascape Directory(SLD).
SLD Consists of Business System and Techinical System.
Technical System contains all information about the software
component. The Business System consists of Inbound and Outbound Business
System which are used as logical names for data transfer.
There is communication Channel for Receiver and Sender Business System and n agreement
is signed between Sender and Receiver.
Outbound Interface defined for Business System Outbound and Techical System associated
with the Business System,
Inbound Interface defined for Business System Inbound and Techical System associated
with the Business System.
In SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Directory, we have defined the Integration Scenarios,
Actions, Interface Objects, Mapping Objects, Adapters Objects.
Mapping Object defines the Structure and Value Mapping.
Adapter Objects defines the Adapter program which implements RFC Adapter, FTP Adapter logic.
FTP Adapter is used for XI-MDM Communication.
RFC Adapter is used for XI-ECC Communication.
Integration Repository: Both Outbound and Inbound Interfaces are Mapped with Value mapping and
Structure Mapping inside Integration Repository.
The File Adapter takes the File from the Outbound port of MDM System
and sends it as IDOC to Receiver Business System.
Value Mapping must be done between Sender and Receiver interfaces.
Value Mapping is done by XSLT or Java based program.
SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Server at runtime:
Message Split, Interface Determination, Receiver Identifaction, Mapping, Techincal Routing
and Call Adapter Proccess are done.
In SAP XI 3.0 and MDM 5.5:
Step 1: Create busines system as service.
Step 2: Create communication channel for each business service. If the system can communicate
through different channels, then create all possible channel types if necessary.
Step 3: Create receiver agreement between the systems.
Step 4: Interface determination:
- Here you see for the first time the software component mentioned;
there are some special requirements regarding this software component in relation to the customizing ID mapping.
- To modify this software component, the customer needs to copy the SAP standard delivered software component
into its own namespace. The customer is able to modify to create archives
for the customized ID mapping.
Receiver determination.
Configure an FTP Server on the MDS.
Create a send folder for outbound messages using outbound port(s) for
remote systems(s).
Create receive folder inbound messages using inbound port(s) for remote systems.
This ia all about concept of SAP XI Infractsture and its' Integration with SAP MDM 5.5.

Kaushik Banerjee

Hi Kaushik,
You must be aware of File types that MDM Import Manager can Import i.e. we have XML, Excel etc. Now there are two transactions to extract data from R3
1. MDMGX -
         - For lookup table extraction
         - Output in XML format which MDM can import without using XI.
          - FTP can be configured to put the file in the desired folder which will be then picked by Import Server.
2. MDM_CLNT_EXTR -
          - For Main table records.
          - Output is in Idoc format which MDM doesn't understand hence we need XI in between which converts Idoc file received from R3 into XML which can then be imported using Import Manager or Import Server. For this we need to implement XI Scenario that consists of Source System, Receiver System, Type of Data etc.
Just a basic understanding...

Jitesh Talreja

How to manage pulp and paper processing through SAP

Hi...
please let me know how to manage pulp and paper processing through SAP-PP in details......
or please provide sum links where i can get the solution....
regards,
sandeep.

Hi Ema,
you need to ensure in your BAdi implementation that the records do not overlap. Ideally (for performance reasons) you also keep the number of records in RPM_BUPA_AVL low
i.e. one record for 01.Jan to 05 Jan with 8 hours is better compared to 5 records with 8 hours each.
Best regards

Approval Process within SAP MDM

Can SAP MDM workflow handle multiple approval process. Is MDM support looping mechanism?

Hi Rajesh,
If approver rejects the records then the workflow will go back to previous step also u can branch the workflow on the basis of approve/disprove i.e. if the records approve then to a step and if approved then to a default step by using Branch.The record will be in MDM .The workflow history can be seen in data manager.And to have a report u can make a application. The link shows hw to have the history.

RFI, RFQ and RFI Process in SAP Bidding Engine

Hi All,
can anyone help me with the following from an SAP point of view, I know how the business process works for each
1. How does the RFI scenario for bidding work in SAP Bidding Engine? What would the config look like for the transaction type and what would the suppliers response be?
2. How does the RFP scenario for bidding work in SAP Bidding Engine? What would the config look like for the transaction type and what would the suppliers response be?
3. Does the cFolders collabortation allow back and forth processing between supplier and purchasing team to enable the supplier to post questions that need answering as part of an RFP process?
Cheers
Chris

Hi Chris,
1. How does the RFI scenario for bidding work in SAP Bidding Engine? What would the config look like for the transaction type and what would the suppliers response be?
In SRM, you can use the same bid invitations for RFI and RFQ. The process is same. Price can be kept optional in RFI. In the first round of bidding i.e. RFI, yuo can specify dynamic attributes and weighting feature to gather the information from bidders and evaluate respnses.
For accepted bidders from the first round, you can create a follow-on bid invitation for RFQ. Here you can track the history of preceding documents.
The other way is to create two different transaction types for RFI and RFQ. Ensure that you select "No price" option for Indicator: "Detailed Price Info to be Entered in Bid" in the transaction type definitation.
2. How does the RFP scenario for bidding work in SAP Bidding Engine? What would the config look like for the transaction type and what would the suppliers response be?
Pls follow below URL for more details on biding process:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm50/helpdata/en/61/c3833cfa3dbc2ce10000000a114027/frameset.htm
3. Does the cFolders collabortation allow back and forth processing between supplier and purchasing team to enable the supplier to post questions that need answering as part of an RFP process?
Yes. It does allow sharing and processing of documents in C-folders during bidding between purchasers and bidders. For scenario details pls follow below link:

Image Sequences and Batch Processing: Can opening files from different folders as image sequences be set up as an action for batch processing?

I have an ongoing series of tasks that necessitates opening the contents of a series of folders as image sequences.
I'm used to setting up some fairly complex actions, including ones that are intended to be applied to all of the contents of materials in various subfolders, but for some reason I cannot get an Open-with-Image-Sequence-Checked action to set up in a way that will batch process correctly.
Complicating matters is that the file prefixes (i.e., the letters before the sequential numbers) and the folders will always have different names from the last time the process had to be carried out.
The steps I would like the action to carry out would be the following:
1. Open Subfolder 1 - that is, Photoshop shouldn't be looking for a specific folder. It's just *any* subfolder to the current parent folder.
2. Select first file in sequenced set of files.
3. Open as an image sequence.
4. Open Subfolder 2.
5. Select first file in sequenced set of files.
6. Open as an image sequence.
...rinse and repeat until Photoshop runs out of subfolders to check.
Am I asking the impossible?
Thanks!

I'll look around there, because I had posted something about this and was told to look here ps-scripts - Browse /Image Processor Pro/v3_0 at SourceForge.net
then this is the image here:
is the result I received. Granted I'm new to using scripts and actions for image processing large amounts of files.

Step by step procedure of SAP MDM process

Hi PP Gurus,
Can anybody give me the step by step process of SAP MDM.
Regards,
Pramod

Hi,
1.First of all you need to know the list of the source systems whose master data you need to maintain in MDM.You can have the source data in the form of XML, excel or MS Access etc. The first thing you need to perform is designing of the repository in the MDM console wherein you have the structure for the incoming data . Here you also need to create the users , roles , mention the remote systems from where you are extracting the data .Then Extract or import source data (e.g. Customer master data, Product master data, etc) from connected remote sytems i.e client applications.
2. Consolidate this data centrally on MDM, cleanse it.
3. Then harmonize or export the data through MDM syndicator tool. Then if there is FTP then dump all your XML data in the FTP from where SAP XI would pick the data and send it back to the different client systems from where you have fetched the data.
4. In the client applications, the received data can be complemented with local attributes.
Reward points if it is helpful.

Chinmoy

Difference between MDM adaptor and File adaptor?

Hello All,
Could any one light on the difference between PI Adaptor and File adaptor?
Thanks

Hi,
>>>Could any one light on the difference between PI Adaptor and File adaptor?
for MDM <= 5.5
there was no difference as file adapter was the MDM adapter

SAP MDM Port Creation not Possible

Hi,
I am not able to create MDM Inbound Port for my Repository.
The problem is I am not getting the XML Format is coming as Deactivated.
Regards
Kaushik Banerjee

Hi Kaushik ,
To import a XML source file in to MDM from a Remote sytem using the port:
- Create an XML schema which will define the structure of the incoming XML file .and upload this xml schema under the XML schema table in mdm console under teh Admin node
- After this create the port in MDM with type as inbound.
- Select the the XML Format for importing in the format property and the XML schema which you have uploaded in console.
- Make the processing type as Manual if you are going for manual importing or else change it to automatic and configure the MDIs.ini file accordingly.
Refer the use of XML schema table in Console in the below link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm550/helpdata/en/8e/9f9c427055c66ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm
If you are importing a standard XML file from the ERP system you will have to acc use the std XML like Matmas05 for a Material record frm R/3 or ECC else if you are importing a test data which corresponds to the MDM repository structure you can generate the XSD using Xomlite software and the exported schema from MDM rep(rep->rt clik->export schema)
Hope It Helped,
Thanks & Regards
