SAP Netweaver MDM Career

Hello Experts,
I have 7 years of experience in SAP Technical mainly in ABAP, Interface technology with ALE/EDI/IDocs, Workflows.
How best career shift in MDM considering i have not worked in SAP XI or BI and have a very little knowledge of XI.
Is SAP MDM Certification a good option to start with?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Karai,
As rightly mentioned by Deepankar, in additon I would like to mention that MDM certification will be right boost for you to start your career in MDM.
MDM is a tool which involves a lot of integration. There have been many ABAPers shifting to this field as MDM is a hot cake right now. Myself being one of them.
You can always use ABAP Knowledge in MDM in the form of ABAP APi's.
XI skills is also an added advantage if you know it. However, you will genarally always have XI consultant supporting you in a project.
Here are some links which are very useful for people who are thinking of making a career in MDM:

Optimized Supplier Spend Reporting based on SAP NetWeaver MDM

SAP NetWeaver MDM can help you a lot when it comes to aggregating and consolidating supplier data for global spend reporting. For more information about how this can be achieved, watch this [demo|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/elearn?rid=/library/uuid/a0a9f50b-09b1-2c10-8587-fe72b08eee29] and read this [article|Enterprise Master Data Management;.

SAP NetWeaver MDM - Project and Bachelor Thesis

Hello,
I am a German student of business information systems. I will write my project and bachelor thesis about u201Chow to synchronize and interchange the master data of an existing non-sap portal, with an existing sap erp systemu201D.
Therefore I would like to use the SAP NetWeaver Platform with SAP NetWeaver MDM. The thesis shall consist of two parts. First, the project thesis shall contain the requirements analysis and the specification. The bachelor thesis shall contain the implementation of these systems.
But there is one big problem. Is there any possibility to get SAP NetWeaver for educational propose, e.g. for free or for a free trial? At the download area of the sdn webpage, I found an SAP NetWeaver 7.0 u2013 Java Trial Version. Does this NetWeaver-Version include the Master Data Management Component? Does I need any other SAP-Systems to exchange the Master Data between these two Systems?
Thanks a lot,
Christian
Edited by: Christian Beining on Jun 26, 2008 6:28 PM

Hi Christian,
you can get a trial version of MDM as a SAP customer (in Germany via your SAP software distributor). If you have only access to a SAP university system I don't think you will get access to MDM and XI (at least they don't have it at my university). But of course you can ask your professor or SAP representative maybe they can help you. As far as I know all SAP university systems in Germany are hosted centrally in Munich and I don't think that they also provide such special solutions like MDM.
Doing a similar job in my thesis I can only recommend you to do this project only then if you have definitely access to all needed systems and having some people around with knowledge in additonal needed tools like XI or administration of SAP systems. Doing it all at your own without having SAP knowledge in the important points (system and database administration, software deployment, XI) is not realistic in a 5 month period when you have to build a SAP system landscape on your own in top of your project.
Hope that helps. BR, bd

Configure Sap NetWeaver MDM with Sap Netweaver XI

SAP NetWeaver MDM communicates with SAP NetWeaver XI by writing an XML file into a directory on a file server.
Can someone gives me an idea about the path of this file server? How can I configure it?

Hi Stan,
In addition to that Harrison told you,if you want automatic syndication of records ,then you must have to use syndication server.In case of syndication server the path of output file is always fixed and you cannot configure it.Path will be as follows:-

SAP MDM Root Directory\Server\Distributions\<server name> \ <Database instance name>\<Repository name>\Outbound\<client System code>\<Output Port Code> \Ready\
If u want scheduled syndication of records(i.e. in batch mode) ,then u can use syndicator batch.And for manual syndication ,use syndicator .Both of these components will syndicate file where ever u want/specify on the file system.
For more details about syndicator batch

System Copy SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.1 documentation incorrect

I am trying to a Homogeneous System Copy on PI 7.1 SP07. I don't want to do a
Copying the Primary Application Server Instance Only
Because (as the documentation says) "As of SAP NetWeaver based on kernel 7.1, you can copy a primary application server instance only. With this procedure you can move a primary application server instance to a different host within your system."
I don't want to move my system to another system. I just want to do a Database refresh. That option is not available when I run SAPINST.
I see the option for database refresh in the manual, but it's not a sapinst selection
6.3Copying the Database Only u2013 Refresh
With this procedure you can refresh the content of an existing database without having to copy the primary application server instance and to reinstall additional applications servers.
I'm using the latest SAPINST and I have the correct DVD from Service Marketplace.
This database refresh option appears in both the "distributed system" selection under system copy --> target --> distribute system.
"SAP NetWeaver Process Integration -> Software Life-Cycle Options --> System Copy --> Target System --> Distributed System --> Based on AS ABAP and AS Java --> Database Refresh or Move".
Is that the correct choice? Why is the documentation wrong?
"SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.1 including Enhancement Package" and "System Copy for SAP NetWeaver Process Integration 7.1". So it must be correct (I think).
I do see the database refresh option under the "

Thanks for the reply. So I would do this:
"Copying the Primary Application Server Instance Only
Because (as the documentation says) "As of SAP NetWeaver based on kernel 7.1, you can copy a primary application server instance only. With this procedure you can move a primary application server instance to a different host within your system."
and then do the "database refresh" option under "distributed systems"?
Is that correct?

SAP Netweaver MDM 7.1 Installation with MS SQL Database

Hello Experts,
I have installed MDM 7.1 System on IBM AIX and connected to Oracle database. I have observed whenever we create Repositories MDM Created Table Spaces/ Data files under the one Oracle_SID that is how it should be . Now we had to install MDM on windows machines using with MS SQL DB. I have installed it and connected to MS SQL Server.
The problem is when ever we create or copy new repositories it is creating new database for each repository under MS SQL Server, Although we have created a separate SQL Database and mentioned the same name while initializing the database connection.
Example while connecting MDM For first time to the DB , I have used 4 schema options , Now if i create a new repository it is creating 4 Database instances under MS SQL DB. On oracle it will just create Table Spaces.
Is there any one who worked on MDM Using MS SQL DB. Is this a problem or This is how it works on MS SQL ?
Please help , I really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Ravi

Hi Ravi,
As per my understanding this is the standard behavior of MS SQL Database. I think this is how it works.
Please Refer, Step III>> of this blog where he states that For each repository, there are two databases XXXX_m000 and XXXX_z000. /people/balas.gorla/blog/2006/09/08/change-tracking-in-mdm
Also refer, Here it says connect to database for repository.
Step 3) Connect to Database u2013 RepositoryName_Z000 and then open table A2i_CM_History http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/10cbe10c-0654-2c10-3d8b-ff99dadc402e?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true

MDM 5.5 SP02 Error during import of Customer Data

Hello,
I am a beginner in MDM 5.5.
I tried to import the customer data via the import manager. I got the error message:
" E1KNA1M wasn't found in the source "
What's wrong with this repository ? I used the DEBMDM06 for extraction out of an R/3 4.7. The XML-file includes this segment !
Can someone help me ?
Thanks in advance.
Michael

Ronen,
Thanks for quick response.
Let me fill you in with the my environment info. I am using MDM SP 02 with SQL Server on Windows XP.
I am following the SAP NetWeaver MDM 5.5 SP02
Scenario Configuration Guide to import customer Data from R/3 to MDM repository via XI, idoc.
According to guide I was able to extract the Customer data from R/3, and using XI (and FTP) I was able to get the data file customer.dat (which is in XML format).
In console I tried to setup the client system as a you specified, but here is what I see in my MDM console
Name: MDC (R/3 4.6 DEBMDM05)
Code: MDC (R/3 4.6 DEBMDM05)
Client System: Import [ for this field it shows me Import, Export, Import/Export options only and not the inbound/outbound as you specified]. If I select option Import then only it will show this Client System while defining the Port.
For port definition it shows following fields
[Port]
Name : R3Import
Code : R3Import
Type : Inbound
Data Definition: [ dropdown options are Access, Excel, XML, Flat Text, XML Schema. Were you referring this field as the 'Format' field.]
XML Schema: I selected DEBMDM05 from dropdown.
Client System : MDC (R/3 4.6 DEBMDM05)
Map: [ dropdown does not have any values to select and I can not type in that field]
If you are still with me, what are the correct settings for Client system and port?
How those settings are being used in Import Manager?
On Connect to Source dialogue screen what should I select/enter for following fields?
Type : [options are Access, Excel, ODBC, Oracle, Port, SQL Server, XML, XML Schema]
Should I be using Client System and Port or XML/XML Schema????
Client System: MDC (R/3 4.6 DEBMDM05)
Port : [ Why this value 'R3Import' is grayed out??? ]
Please help.
