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.

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.
Please go through the link below for the same:

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 <b>Serve</b>r and Syndication <b>Server</b>.

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 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.

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.

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

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

How to setup ftp with dreamweaver and windows server 2003

Does anyone know if there is a tutorial/article on settinp up Dreamweaver cs3 to use Windows server 2003 as an FTP server...
any assistance would be greatly appreciated...

I was able to figure out how to setup the ftp connection, connect to my home server, however,whenever i tried to upload the contents of my website to my server, nothing gets uploaded to the site. I tried putting one page at a time, nothing. tried everything, and still no joy. I can see everything on my local server which is a XAMP package, but nothing on my remote server. Do i maybe need to maybe have a WAMP or XAMP on the Windows Server 2003 or that should not matter. This is new to me so i am learning as i go along.
Another thing, i was able to create a subfolder in my c:\www.ftproot folder, i can see that folder on my local machine, i'm just not seeing the files in that folder when i do my 'put' with my files.

How to setup WebLogic Admin Server and Managed Server

Hi,
I working to setup a Weblogic admin and managed server but fail.
May i know the correct steps to setup the system ?
Tx.

TX. I will proceed to upload more logs here later.
Anyway I notice that after i follow the guide to setup the admin and managed server, I only able to access the web apps on admin server. I can not access web apps for managed server.
I setup the admin server using port 7001 and managed server using port 7003 based on oracle guide.
I found weird here. when I browse to http://adminserver:7001/apps, it works. But when i browse to http://managedserver:7003/apps it does not work.
But funny thing is when i browse to http://adminserver:7003/apps, it works.
I confuse that which configuration I have done is incorrect and have this result???
besides that I notice that in the nodemanager setting...the listening address is set to localhost and it works. If i configure it to IP address, it will give me errors.

Hi astro,
Please ensure that you haven’t renamed or moved the destination excel file during the exporting process. Also make sure that “Create destination table” option is checked as below screenshot and the SQL statement is correct.

SQL Server 2012: Import and Export Wizard - Exporting Multiple Result Sets at Once?

I'm working in SQL Server 2012 trying to export some data from our database into an Excel file. My SQL statement has two separate Select statements. They are not joined by a union. When I Execute them inside of SQL Server Management Studio, with Results
set to go to a Grid, I get two result sets back. Two full tables of data.
However, when I use the Import and Export Wizard, the Excel sheet only has the first set of data.
What do I need to do to have it so both result sets show up in the excel file?

Why cant use merge them using union/union all if intention is to get them to same sheet? Is it like the metadata is different so that they cant be merged to single sheet?
If that being the case you need to do it in two steps.

Issue while importing table from oracle to sql server using import and export wizard

I am trying to populate oracle table to sql server using import export wizard and i am getting the below error.the table is allready present in the database but still it throwing error like table doesn't exists.
Could not connect source component.

Kindly help me out
Thanks in advance

Hi Snehasis,
Please check whether the table name in the Oracle database has lower case letters. The table name should be exactly correct.
In addition, the issue might be related to the Oracle driver. What provider/driver do you use? If you use Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Oracle, you can try the
Oracle OLE DB Provider. If you use Enterprise or Developer edition of SSIS 2008 or higher, you can also try the
Microsoft Connectors for Oracle by Attunity. The Oracle OLE DB Provider and Microsoft Connectors for Oracle are proved to have better performance.

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
