Regarding MDM Import and Syndication Server

Hi,
I have earlier worked in MDM Import Server.
Today, I successfully did MDM Syndication by
MDM Syndicator.
Now, the point is I need to do Import and Syndication
by MDM Import Server and MDM Syndication Server.
The MDM Version is 5.5.
Now, the point is under my installed directory:
F:\MDM SERVER\Server
in mds.ini file:
I need to give the following path:
Distribution Root Dir=F:\MDMSER~1\Server\Distributions\
I think other than these I don't have to do any configuration
in mdis.ini or mdss.ini.
Also, I have already inbound and outbound ports made and linked
to inbound and outbound maps.
Is there any more configuration needed?
Regards
Neha Singh

Hi Neha,
There are many configuration needed to complete the Automatic import and syndication using MDIS and MDSS.

Setup interval on Import and Syndication server in 7.1

Hello Experts:
I am upgrading MDM from 5.5 to 7.1; I am having issues with Import Server picking up files from Ready folder, and Syndication Server creating the files on Ready Folder.
1. I checked Console, and both ports, Inbound and Outbound, are setup as Automatic.
2. I restarted both servers
The files are still on the ready folder for Import Server, and Syndication is not creating the file.
1. Do you know what else can I check to make this process automatic?
2. Do you know where, in 7.1, can I check the interval? I used to check it on the mdis.ini file, but I cannot find it in 7.1.
Thank you for your help,
Claudia Hardeman

Hi claudia,
check the below points:
1) Manually you can import and symdicate those files through import manager and syndicate manager its works fine, then PI not picked those files from ready folder, check the communication channel of receiver and sender systems.
2) files having some special characters (like ", ' etc.) MDM is not supported to special characters.
3)check the MDM server running and repository loaded or not.

Steps to configure Import Server and Syndication server

Hi,
Can some one help me to work on Import Server and Syndication server. I know there are few forums availabe on this topic but they are not very basic. I need to know the basic step(From installation to automatic transfer of data.) to work on Import Server and Syndication Server.

Hi Ron,
The MDM Import Server is a background process (service), which separates the core processing of master data imports from the front-end processing. MDM Import Server allows you to load master data records periodically from various
client systems to various MDM Servers and repositories based on the port concept.
Once the data is delivered by SAP XI on a specific port, it will automatically get picked within a configurable time interval and queued up for import processing.
MDM Import Server creates log files of the entire load process, which are stored
in the port folder Log and can be displayed in MDM Console.
If an error occurs in the automated import, the MDM Import Server stops and
drops the XML in the Exception folder of the port. You can import the XML
interactively using the MDM Import Manager and correct the error (for example
complete the import map).
Hope this might help....
thanks
Alexander

Import and Syndication maps - change in XSD

HI All,
Can any one let me know are these are correct if it is then are there any work around solutions?
We created manually Import and syndication maps.. fine..After few days we changed data type/deleted the filed/added new fields.... In all these above incidents do we need to recreate import and syndication maps????
There is no other work around for this ??
2) Even if there is no change in Repository structure but change in import or syndication XSD do we need to recreate all import and syndication maps???
Your inputs are really helpful.
Thanks
Rajeev

HI Rajeev,
So for any change in the MDM repository Import maps and syndication maps are not needed to recreate from scrach right?
For minor changes like field add there is no need.For changes involving deletion of mapped fields,changing types of already mapped fields,deleting mapped tables,one should first unmap the current map and then carry out structural changes.Later one can remap them again,this is to avoid maps from getting corrupt.
If there is any change in the XSD then there is a possibility to recreate the map from scrach??
Yes
Do Update XML schema option avaliable only in MDM 7.1?? not in 5.5?
Yes
A good description and usage is given by Aamir here Update of XML syndication map when XSD is changed
One more thing want to clear : I created a scheme and assigned the XSD.. Now when I created the port I am unable to assing the schema like I do for import map??? then what is the use of XSD schema for outbbound??
Seems you are not using in the way it is supposed to.the exact usage and defining what feature is available with which port is mentioned in pg no 356 of Console guide.
What is the usual method of import XSD and Outbound XSD?? Do Source and Target systems provide XSDs to MDM or MDM provides to Source and Target Systems?
For Standard contents SAP provides ready made xsds.
It is important to note that xsds are only to make MDM and other system understand the xml so they should be same.
To do this you can use Altova tool to create xsds based on your xml,also PI can help you do the same.
You can create xsd with PI for other idoc type too.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Ravi

Import and Syndication

Hi all
Can anyone tell me what the issues (if any) might be is we run and import process and syndication process simultaneously, provided of course that the data selection for syndication is not the data being imported

It has been our experience that one process will hold up the other. For example, we have been doing many imports and syndications as part of our set up and have done fairly large imports as well. During these imports, my syndicator will show at the bottom "please wait while the server performs an operation on behalf of 'USER' on 'MACHINE'". Once that process is completed, it will perform the next process in the queue. Hope this helps.

Scheduling Imports and Syndication

Hello Experts,
Is it possible to schedule Importing?
If so can we do it Thrice a day in a stipulated time?
weekly?
monthly?
I am sure that syndication can be scheduled by placing it in Work flow(on record import, update, delete)
And by making the outbound port hourly, daily, weekly.
Can we schedule Syndication Monthly?
Kind Regards
Eva

Hi Eva,
How can we include an Import proces in MDM wf!!!
In Data Manager, Once you have done with your design of mdm workflow, set workflow property Trigger Action = Record Import and set Autolaunch = immediate. But as you are looking for Scheduling import, I am not sure as i have not tried it so I would suggest just check and try with Autolaunch = Threshold and set Max Records = 1000 & Max Time = 3 days if it gives you desired result.
In import Manager, import map for which you want to set it. Go to configuration options--> set the property Checkout/Workflow = Workflow name from the drop down which you created in data manager and then save the map. So whenever record import for this map it will go through this mdm workflow.
PI/XI is also a good approach to control the import timing.
As you are looking for Import Scheduling thrice a day.
I feel that as soon as files comes to your ready folder port, files get imported to MDM if your Import Server is running. So in this case you can create another folder say initial backup import where you should contain import files and with the help of scripting language/scheduler, you should move files from this folder to ready folder after every three days.
Can we schedule Syndication Monthly?
You can make use of JAVA APIs and run a batch job to schedule it monthly.
Please refer these below threads for more details:
1. Java API : Syndication
2. Call a Java API via Unix Script

Import and Syndicate Server Configuration

Hi All,
Is it possible to setup the time interval in Import and Syndicator, with specific to one repository.
For example, if i have one repository, for which the import has to run every 30 mins, and for another if it has to run every 3 mins.
Is it possibel to do it?.
Same for syndicator as well?
Thanks,
Priya.

Hello Priya,
This is possible in MDM 7.1 without PI .
1. For MDSS, there is a repository level MDSS.ini configuration setting for such a delay
From the MDM 7.1 Console Reference Guide:"
Auto Syndication Task Delay= (seconds) .
Integer.The number of seconds MDSSu2019s automatic syndication task waits after syndicating to all ports associated with the repository. Value copied from the corresponding property in MDM Console
2. With MDIS it is a bit more complicated as MDIS is able to process in chunks of data.
Therefore you are able to define the delay between chunks
From the MDM 7.1 Console Reference Guide:"
Inter-Chunk Delay= (MS)
Integer. The number of milliseconds MDIS waits between processing chunks of records to allow other clients access to MDS.
These are all explained in the Console reference guide.
I advise you to read the appropriate sections.

Hedda Cohen.

DRM/MDM Import and Export File types - Question

Hi Guys,
We have been implementing Hyperion DRM to our existing Oracle Environment for managing the company's sales data which comes from multiple data sources. In my experience and research, I feel DRM is an excellent tool but there are some questions I have in our mind. The following are the few questions that I\we have.
a) How does the Import and Export of data functionality works in DRM? In this forum, I have found some one saying we can only import the data through flat files, in other words, "text file" with the delimiters [ ] seperated by comma. My question is, Is there any other possible way to import the data, Such as getting the data directly from the database tables? To get the data, Do we need to have any integration points or do we need to use SOAP APIs (& programming)?
b) While we exporting the data, can we export it directly to the Oracle database tables? What are the integration points needed for this kind of export?
c) Is there any sample guide or design document available for creating the hierarchy and nodes. I just want to know how the attributes that we have "is transformed" into the hierarchies and nodes in DRM? In the past, I used Essbase, which is integrated with DRM and that process was straight forward since we imported and exported data directly from DRM to Essbase.
I would appreciate any suggestion offered to me regarding the questions posted above.
Thanks in advance,
Leo

Hi,
1.As per my knowledge the Import can be done using Flat files only,we can import the data from Oracle Tables once the structure is ready in DRM.
2.We have an utility called Export to Table(in the last tab when you performing an Export along with Export to File), which requires the DB mapping to be done properly,
Thanks!

.p12 Certificate import in weblogic server 10.3.6.0

Hi,
I am facing a issue regarding certificate import in weblogic server 10.3.6.0. In my project I built a java webservice where a https url is invoked with xml input(correct format).Https url is restricted. I can not open this url from my browser. I got '403 : Forbidden' error in browser as well as webservice log in server. I asked my client. They gave me one .jks and one .p12 certificated file and password. When I installed this .p12 (giving password) in my local windows computer, I am able to open that https in my browser.I have imported this .p12 certificate in 'cacerts' as well as 'DemoTrust.jks' in weblogic server and restarted the server. But i am getting the same error(403 : Forbidden) in weblogic server.
Where should I import this .p12 in weblogic server? I mean in which key store.
FYI,
This code is running fine in 10g production server.I haven't developed this code. I have migrated this code to 11.1.1.7.0.
I am using this .jks() in the java code.
 System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStore", keyStore.jks);
 System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "<password>");
Weblogic server is running in unix environment.
Read many posts... But did not any find right solution. Can anybody please help me solve this.

If i remember correctly, .p12 will have both the public and private key.
You need to convert it to a jks and configure the server to use this jks

How do i update & test import maps and syndication maps?

HI,
Can anyone guide me/ let me know the steps - how do i update & test import maps & syndication maps during upgrade in development system>
Regards,
Harmony

Hello Harmony
Different service packs SAP MDM 7.1 supprot the same Syndication and Import map format.
For Import map is updating you can use Import manager
For syndication map is updating - Syndicator
If your syndication and import map have been saved into repository just archive repository from your source landscape and unarchive it in destination.
If your syndication and import map haven't been saved in repository.
Exporting your maps to xml(syndication maps from syndicator and import maps from Import Manager) before migration and importing it to new repository.
According updating(modification) repository structure:
For Import map is updating you can use Import manager
For syndication map is updating - Syndicator
Another way(very exotic) - make changes in exported xml maps.
That's all

Map including spliting operation dosen't work in MDM Import Server

Hi All,
I met a problem with MDM Import Server when using a map file with spliting operation in it, although I can use it in MDM import manager to load data successfully. The error in log file is like this:
Record Matching...
Importing Lookup...
One or more attribute values are invalid.
One or more attribute values are invalid.
One or more attribute values are invalid.
One or more attribute values are invalid.
Import Failed!
The spliting in my map is: I split field "Category" into category1 and category2 with space " ". e.g. value "Trousers M" is splitted into "Trousers" and "M" . Then I map category1 to category and category2 to size.
I tried to delete this spliting and just map "Category" to "Category" then it works well for Import Server.
Is it the bug of MDM import server? can anyone give me a explaination?
Thanks! Bin

Under Configuration Options of the Import Manager,
check the values for
Default Batch Handling
AutoMap Unmapped Values = Yes
Unmapped value Handling = Add/Ignore/Fail.
Set the values according to your needs.
Make sure that the data source is updatable as well.

Import and export MDM with the SAP Portal

Hi,
Would you have any clue on how to handle import and export from the SAP portal ?
I need your help because I haven't found any standard iView to perform these functions
The only information i got were some explanations on WebDynpro Java iViews using events to export from the Portal.
Thank you in advance

Hi,
MDM iViews are only meant to perform MDM Data Manager operations but on limited basis. EP-MDM scenario has been designed for end users only which should not allow to perform complex data manager operations and they need not install MDM Clients.
Thats why importing and exporting functionalities are not possible in standard MDM iviews.
