Hi,
1. Deploy MDMJAVAAPI05_1.sca and SRMMDMCAT01_0.sca in the SAP WAS using SDM.
For more information about installation and Configuration please refer SAP Note # 1057316
2. to unarchive repository steps are follows:
     1. copy .a2a file in the archive directory of MDM server
      2. open console and mount MDM server.
      3. right click on server and select unarchive repository. provide the DBMS connection details and Repository Name and specify the .a2a file. then click ok. This will unarchive your repository. For more details please refer to console reference guide.
kindly let us know if you have any query.

Is use of flat file in SRM-MDM catalog search UI possible ?

Hello,
When user looks for materials inside SRM-MDM catalog (using search user interface), search is done manually with free form or drill down search.
Then, among the search result, user has to select items he wants to add to his shopping cart and finally transfer those items from his shopping cart overview inside SRM.
Is it possible to automate this user selection using for exemple a flat file uploading (or any other way you could know) ?
This flat file will have material number (or service), supplier code and quantity (no more information).
The aim of the request is to help requester to not have to select each item one by one (in the search result) knowing that :
- SC will have more than a hundred items,
- delivery time and price (for example) must be checked in MDM, being the master data reference
- materials (or service) to order are received by requester via a flat file without any information about prices, so i cannot upload my flat file directly into SRM because file missing data must come from MDM.
With this process, user should have only to transfer items automatically selected.
Could you please share your advises ?
We use SAP MDM 5.5.
Regards.
Laurent.

Hello Masa,
Masayuki Sekihara wrote:
A vendor look at buyer stock information like VMI and fill stock weekly base. So the vendor sends material number and quantity information as flat file to buyer. Buyer should create SC from flat file and price information should fetch from catalog.
Yes, your are correct: example you gave corresponds to process for my SC uploading.

Hi ,
1.What to download from service marketplace?
Install the SRM MDM catalog 2.0 business content.This contains a separate MDM server,GUIs ,a2a file,sca files .
2. Where to install?
Install MDM server and GUI.Aprt from MDM and SRM server we need to have WebAS.
3. What all other configuration/setup needs to be done?
Unarchive the SRM MDM repository(.a2a file)
create roles ,users and fields in that.Load it.
Import the data .

SRM MDM 3.0 BMECAT Repository Schema

Hello at all,
I have currently run the SRM-MDM 3.0 with the standard respository delivered as archive on the install CD. I still have created some data with the data manager and it runs all very well.
Now I want to import a catalog based on BMECat 1.2 standard. I Have the complex catalog data XML from the vendor Bechtle and the images folder for the articles.
When running the Import Manager there are many fields and tables in the source xml that do not excist in the destination hierachy (repository).
My question is how do I create a repository based on the BMECat 1.2 standard to import the vendor catalog xml ?
What I still tryed was. Creating a new repository. It's empty except of the standard table like Admin, Images, Products etc.
Than go to Transport -> Import Repository Schema -> choose the vendor XML
That doesn' work. I get the Error Message: "There are problems with the transport (XML) which prevent it from being processed"
I have learned that an XML schema data is described with the ending .xsd but when I try to import the databrowser looks for .xml endings.
Could someone please advice what's I have done wrong?
Thanks a lot.
Rico

Hi Rico,
I am not aware of BMEcat standard but in MDM terms you can take the backup of repository in two forms:
1. Archive/UnArchive -> If you want to move the repository from one MDM server to another i.e. from dev to QA then you can Archive the repository which creates the .a2a file and place the file in the Archives folder of MDM Server installation directory which can then be copied and moved to Archives folder of target MDM server and you can UnArchive it on that MDM server.
Archive = Repository Schema + Data
2. Export / Import Repository Schema -> With this method you can export the schema of the repository and create the new repository on some other MDM Server using Create Repository from Schema command. When you perform the export repository schema command, it will ask for the file name and path. You can then copy this schema file and place in the file system of another server.
Export / Import Repository schema = Repository Schema only

ECC TO SRM-MDM CATALOG THROUGH SAP PI

We have a scenario where we are sending data from ECC to SRM-MDM Catalog through SAP PI and data is coming from ECC through proxy and sending to SRM u2013MDM catlog through file adapter. In ESR part we have used SAP defined standard service interfaces (CatalogueUpdateNotification as sender interface and MDMInfoRecordDataTransmission as a receiver interface). The mapping used is also standard one.
Now we have got requirement to send the data for vendor mat no, manufacturer field of info records from ECC to SRM-MDM catlog. But we are unable to find out these two fields in standard interfaces/messages. Can anybody guide us how to add these fields in the current data types or is there any other standard interfaces we can use.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Shiv,
Many thanks for your reply.
Since we're not using XI / PI scenario and this is an upgrade from SRM 5.5 to SRM 7, Iu2019m using the same approach that was already used in SRM 5.5 with CCM 2.0.
The idea is that the catalogue and all the records maintained need to be associated to a contract. So, I add the contract ID and the correspondent contract item in the import file, in addition to the supplier name, product ID, price information and so on. I mapped the contract ID with the field contract price.
In relation to the price information fields, as I want it to be visible for any user that accesses the product catalogue, I tried different approaches:
1.Using OCI Price information u2013 amount, currency, price base quantity and price base quantity UoM;
2.Using OCI Price contract u2013 amount, currency, price base quantity and price base quantity UoM;
The first approach didnu2019t work very well, as I was not able to see price information when accessing the catalogue. I could only see it once I transfer the items to the SC. In addition, this approach had one problem. The products were displayed but it was not possible to select the items one by one. To do that I needed to select all the items of the catalogue and after that the detail of the contract ID was displayed in every item, allowing me to choose the items that I want to select to my SC.
The second approach was better as the information was visible when accessing the SC and I was able to select all the items, one by one, as it should be. The main problem of this approach was that Iu2019m getting errors in the SC when the materials have stock u2013 u201CInterface data contains errorsu201D. Or alternatively, if the items didnu2019t have stock, the SC was possible, but when I tried to create a PO from that SC, It simply does not work.
So, can someone help me? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Andreia

The DBMS Server property defines the network identification string of the DBMS instance / machine / server that is used by the DBMSspecific client on the MDM Server machine to connect to the DBMS. The brand of DBMS on which the repository is running is shown in the DBMS Type property.
NOTE ►► When you mount two MDM repositories with the same name (but located on different DBMS Servers) on the same MDM Server, MDM distinguishes them in the Console Hierarchy pane by appending the name of the DBMS Server in angular brackets to the repository name (e.g. u201Crepository <server>u201D).

SRM-MDM installation on Unix OS

Hi Gurus,
We are facing some problems in installing MDM Server on Unix machine. I have downloaded the SRM-MDM Catalog 2.0 content from market place. It contains the folder Master_Data_Server and two .tar files. We are not getting the ...VM.bin file specified in the Installation Guide after using untar command.
Your inputs are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jitesh Talreja

Hi Jitesh,
did you try an older version of SRM-MDM 2.0, whether the file is contained there? I could not find anything about it in any guide.
We had a message about a file javavm.tar (if I remember right), which was missing during installation of Web AS under Windows. However, this file was eventually not required.

thanks a lot a happy holidays!

Hello Priti,
For accessing the catalog, you have to define the external webservice with the config parameters in SRM System under transaction "SPRO"
Please refer the SRM-MDM Catalog configuration guide.
Hope this will help you.

SRM MDM UoM

Hi
I am loading a new MDM SRM Catalog repository with a supplier file. The supplier items are for hire i.e. computers, cabins, etc.
We want to load the catalog items that can be hired/leased. However in the search interface we can only select a quanttiy to add to the Shopping cart. i.e. we can add quantity of 3 computers. However for example we require to be able to order a quantity of items for a fix time period. i.e. we want to setup the catalog so that the end user can order 3 computers for 5 weeks and therefore the total price is calculated based on the weekly rate and quantity ordered.. We are not sure how to handle this in SRM MDM. In Requisite we had the items in the catalog and then created an 'Attribute Matrix' to allow the user to specify a Quantity of an item AND a period of time(which the end user could select while searching the catalog).
Any ideas how to set this up in SRM MDM. Upon loading the supplier file in the search interface we can only select the Quantity before adding to the shopping cart but cannot specifiy the time period
Thanks
Ben.

Hi Ben,
in this case I would advice to create your own EForm application, where you can set up a time frame for the item. This would be the easiest way to get a solution here.

SRM MDM: Workflow Unlaunch while performing the Automatic data transfer

Hi,
We are trying to import some data from R/3 4.6 C by configuraing remote system as ERP and creating Port based based on the XML Schema in the SRM MDM Catalog. We have created work flow to validate the above pulled data accuracy into data manager. Everything goes well here, I am able to get the data transfered into data manager Automatically But the only issue is in the Work flow.
Set workflow into data manager is not able to launch automatically even though the record is accurate via automatic transfer. I have accuratly set the wokflow name in import manager while svaing the MAP file for automatic import.
Please have your inputs why the work flow is not able to launch in automatic data transfer from the specified port.
Thanks/Pawan

Hi Pawan,
please check in the Data Manager, that you selected by the workflow, the right Trigger Actions, such as Record Import. And that the Autolunch is also set correcly.

Best Practice transport procedure for SRM-MDM Catalogue repositories change

Hi,
I have a question regarding SRM-MDM Catalogue repository change transports.
We currently have two QA servers and to Production servers (main and fail-over).
We are investigating the need of a Development server.
Changes are being made to the repositories on the system, and I see the need of a dev server.
What is best practice for SRM-MDM Catalogue?
With only QA and Prod environments I guess Repository schema transport is the best option, since there has not been created a Refference file (which is needed for change file transport).
Any other options?
We are running MDM as well, with dev, QA and prod environments. Here we use CTS+ for transports.
Is it best practice to use CTS+ also for SRM-MDM Catalogue transports?
KR,
Thomas

Hi Thomas.
What is best practice for SRM-MDM Catalogue?
SAP recommends to have the landscape model like DEV-QA-PROD.
So in case of catalog as well if we follow the same technique it will help you to have a successful implementation
Any other options?
As a part of proceeding with the CTS+ you need to create a reference file
Refer the Link: [CTS+|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d0dd1ae0-36e5-2b10-f8b4-e6365e643c0b?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true] for more details
Is it best practice to use CTS+ also for SRM-MDM Catalogue transports?
It is upto the requirement. if you feel there are many changes in catalog xml schema in various phases in an automatic manner then you can go ahead with CTS+ or you can perform the existing method of exporting and importing the schema to the repository.
Hope it helps.
Best Regards
Bala
