Advice on Promoting Master Data Services Changes from one environment to another, e.g. DEV to UAT

Hi,
Has anyone got experience of creating a script to promote Master Data Services changes from one environment to another, e.g. Development to Production please?
The changes basically consist of adding several new MDS members which can be accessed via Excel.
Thanks in advance,
Kind Regards,
Kieran.
Kieran Patrick Wood http://www.innovativebusinessintelligence.com http://uk.linkedin.com/in/kieranpatrickwood http://kieranwood.wordpress.com/

In MDS terminology an Entity is metadata, and Entity Members are the data.
Typically changes to an Entity (ie model design changes) are promoted to different environments. Model design changes can be replicated manually in each environment or you can Export the model and Import it into the target environment.
Adding, editing and deleting entity members is performed directly in each environment.
If you want to selectively import data from a Dev environment, you can use staging.

Master Data Services not available under shared feature while installing SQL server 2012

Hi,
I am trying to install Master Data Services but do not see the option to select MDS under the shared features when going through the SQL server 2012 installation. I have the SQL server 2012 SP1 (64 bit) install files. I have also installed SP2. I havent
found anything online about the issue.
Can someone please advise?
I have a screenshot of the installation screen which I will attach as soon as I am able to get my account verified. Thanks!

Hi Revees,
This might be a very naïve and also out of the original scope of the thread question.
We are thinking of going with the developer edition. We have 2/3 developers and some other testers and business users.
1) I understand that we need a developer license for each developer. But would we need a license for the business user. Can they have a sort of read access to the dbs?
2) If a developer has MSDN subscription, Would they need to purchase the license too assuming we purchase the developer edition of the software (and not download it using the MSDN subscription)?
Thanks for your assistance!

Master Data Services Add-in for Excel Issue

I am trying to configure MDS in the Production server. I am running into isssues.
(I was able to do the whole process successfuly in my local system - Versions are same in the local and server - Only difference is local machine is windows 7 server is Windows 2008 R2)
I have installed SQL server 2012 Enterprise Version SP1. I am able to browse the MDS URL. User has got full permissions. When I try to access the MDS via Excel I get the below error.
Can any one help me please I have spent days on this withou any joy.
Error message
TITLE: Master Data Services Add-in for Excel
An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to
http://MYIPADDRESS/mds/service/service.svc/bhb. This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See
server logs for more details.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
The underlying connection was closed: An unexpected error occurred on a receive. (System)
Unable to read data from the transport connection: An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. (System)
An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host (System)
BUTTONS:

I have finally found a solution for this problem! Every time I opened Excel (unless I ran as administrator) I would have to activate the MDS add-in; this was time-consuming and annoying. It seems like there was no solution posted online anywhere! Well
after much aggravation, I have finally found a solution:
Fixing the Microsoft MDS Excel Add-In so it Stays Enabled
Press the Start button (Windows button)
In the search bar type “REGEDIT”
Open regedit.exe
A pop-up will ask permission for the Registry Editor to make changes to the computer, select Yes.
In the Registry Editor expand HKEY_CURRENT_USER
In the HKEY_CURRENT_USER folder, expand in the following order: Software -> Microsoft -> Office -> Excel -> Addins
Select Microsoft.MasterDataServices.ExcelAddIn
Double-click on LoadBehavior in the right panel
In the Edit Value popup, change the value to
Press OK
Exit the Registry Editor
The excel add-in should now be active anytime you open Excel. If multiple errors occur while using the add-in, the Load Behavior may change back to 0. If that occurs simply follow these steps so the add-in will be active when Excel starts up.
I hope this helps some of you avoid the long hours of trying to find a solution to this silly problem.
Cheers!

Match Data dialog window in Master Data Services Excel Add-in

Hello, I am following the Enterprise Information Management using SSIS, MDS, and DQS Together
on
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj819782.aspx. I am now in lesson 4 Task 4 on
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/13a13f03-b307-4555-8e33-6d98c459d994.
I click the Match Data button in the ribbon in step 21. According to the tutorial the Match Data dialog window should look like this:
However, the Match Data dialog window I have looks like this:
Am I doing something wrong? Or am using a different version of the Master Data Excel Add-in?
I use SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition version 11.0.3000. Master Data Excel Add-in 11.0.2100. Excel 2010. Both Master Data Services and Data Quality Services are installed. Integration between those is configured. I have a full Master Data ribbon containing
the Data Quality buttons, which indicates DQS integration is configured.

Hi Arjen,
I seem to be having the same issue i.e the Match
Data dialog window that I have looks like the one you show
I am using:
SQL Server 2012 Service Pack 1 (SP1) MDS Add-In For Excel:
11.0.3393.0
SQL Server 2012 Developer Edition: Microsoft
SQL Server 2012 (SP1) - 11.0.3128.0 (X64)
Don't know if you got anyhere with the issue recently.?
I'll keep digging.
Thanks, Martin

Is there any way we can set default value for a Date Attribute to current date in Master Data Services

Is there any way we can set default value for a Date Attribute to current date in Master Data Services.
I as well wants to know that is there any posibility to show Calendar control while input data into respective date attributes.
Thanks.

Hi Anagha,
So far i havent found any way to set todays date by default from MMI, but i guess this flow should work as workaroud
1. Add buisness rule which can set a default value when Date = NULL/Blank
2.get the entity table ,use -select EntityTable from mdm.tblEntity where Name = '<enter entity name>'
3.Go to that table and add a after update trigger like
if uda_<entityid>_<attributeid(Date attribute)> = default value
update uda_<entityid>_<attributeid(Date attribute)> =getdate() where id = <LastUpdatedRow>
I will check on this too from my side.
By the way AFAIK i dont think so calendar control integration is possible .

Master data services - EDIT access only

Hi Gurus,
I am wondering if there is an option in Master data services where I can restrict the users to only edit the records and in this case they cannot delete the records. I see that, the update option allows both edit and delete access.
Also, in the security privileges table, what does the execute and control privilege exactly mean.
Thank you everyone for contributions and keeping it active and wonderful.

In the SQL2012 or SQL2014 release, there are 3 permissions, Deny, Update, ReadOnly.
Update means user can Create, Delete, Update.
In the SQL vnext, we are considering has granular permission as CRUD.
For now, as a workaround, I think you can give user ReadOnly permission on the entity or membertype (leaf) level, and give update permission on each attribute. So they can edit the attribute, but cannot create/delete the member.
Execute and control privilege are deprecated level from SQL 2008R2. They have no effect and are completely removed in the next release in the UI.

Master data services 2012 domain trust issues

hi,
we have a Master Data Services 2012 installation within one domain and the users exist within another domain. This has a selective trust both ways.
the behaviour that we are seeing in MDS 2012 when adding users to the master data services from the other domain we are getting no exact match found for the users that exists when adding users in; these users are from the domain that MDS does not reside
in but there is a trust in place.
we have given authentication permissions to all users requiring access to the server that MDS resides on.
the question is what steps are necessary to allow MDS to operate in two domain environment. We have other applications that function in this manner but MDS is causing issues.
any help would be appreciated..
thanks

I don't have the exact multi domains environment to try it on. But I tried on mutil forest domains. It seems working fine.
When add the user, the format is like [DomainName\]UserName
When add the user for another domain, the domain name is required.
There is a trust between our two domains (which works because I can log into SQL Server effortlessly with SSMS). However, when I try to add a user from the other domain, I get the error
"No exact match was found for domain\user"
It seems that MDS really doesn't like trusts.

Cannot view Master Data Services Models with Excel Add-In, using MSSQServer 2014 Trial and Excel 2010 (non-trial)

I'm using using MSSQServer 2014 Trial with Master Data Services installed. I have connected to the MDS server with the Excel 2010 MDS Add-In.
Models are not listed in the Add-In's Explorer browser. When I open the MDS server with IE, no models are listed either.
I can view them locally on the server in IE.
There are no remote DB access issues.
Is it just that the 2014 Trial version does not supply this info remotely??

Was a Model Permission issue. Fixed here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff487055.aspx
Would be good if the interface would show some kind of alert to that fact.

Excel 2012 SP1 plagin for Master Data Services - Bugs ???

Excel 2012 SP1 plagin for Master Data Services 32bit or 64bit
1.
My entity A has 50,000 records.
Entity B has a domain attribute "City" from entity A.
I successfully add new records to the entity B, but after refresh I cannot see any data in the domain attribute "City" for new records (empty cels)!!! Although in the Web client (or through SSMS in table) I can see the data in "City"
attribute (e.g. code_095 {Moscow}).
If I reduce the number of records in the entity A to 20 000, then I see code_095 {Moscow} in Excel 2012 SP1 plagin for MDS.
Bug???
2.
Why Excel 2012 SP1 plagin for MDS resets the format cells ??? Bug???
3.

Master data services - Excel addin integration with Sharepoint

Hi Gurus,
I am looking for different ways to present Excel addin plugin to user community. Can sharepoint be used to launch the excel within the portal. I am not sure if this is possible where a user can launch the excel directly from sharepoint website
where the excel opens with in the website.
It would be great to integrate with shareopoint, as it would allow users to go to one centralized location to perform MDS related tasks.

The excel UI can be only hosted in the Excel desktop UI.
The webUI is possible to hosted in the sharepoint.

Master Data Services Add-in will not stay enabled

Using Excel 2013 x64 with the 2012 MDS add-in.
The master data services add-in works but when I shut down Excel, the add-in is soft disabled and I have to re-enable it every time I start Excel. I've tried disabling everything and then just enable MDS and that doesn't help.
How can I troubleshoot this? I can't roll out 2013 to my users if this problem persists.

How do you handle PII in Master Data Services?

What are the best practices for handling PII, such as ssn, credit card, address, phone number, etc., in MDS? Has anyone had to implement PII in Master Data Services? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Gerald

I would second Gerald's question. While I would not want to store credit card details. Attributes like SSN, address, or phone number would be of interest if anyone has faced this issue. For example, is there an ability to use
SQL Encryption for an attribute or is the best solution to create proxy values for attributes like SSN.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Steve
