SRM-MDM Catalog Problems

Hi ,
We are in POC for SRM7.0 with MDM3.0 Catalog. Here I have some questions
1) We are not using any external catalog i.e you said that is only internal MDM catalog is XI required for this??
We are not using any Contracts,PIR from ECC or SRM. and We have created some products in to the MDM system repository and created an System in SAP EP and linked MDM system to SAP EP. But we are not able to see any search or products in the SAP EP UI. All are showing as errors. Can you please guide me what is the next steps to be followed??
2) I have Given the Same URL which we are using for access of SRM via portal will it trigger MDM-Catalog link also??
3) I want to show some images in the catalog.
Can you please guide me what is the next steps to follow..
Regards,
Anil

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.

Andreia

SRM-MDM Catalog Installation/Landscape

Hi,
We are currently having the following landscape in place with regards to the SRM, MDM and SRM-MDM Catalog :
Server 1 : SRM 5.0 Running   (HP-UX)
Server 2:   Enterprise Portal running with MDM Content and SRM-MDM Catalog JAVA components (HP-UX)
Server 3:   Standard MDM Server installation (Windows 2K)
We have configured everything according to the notes and guides (including the guide from Sudhendu Pandey), but when we try to configure the Search UI in Webdynrpo, the java components cannot connect to the MDM host and we are getting just the connection failed error.
My questions are :
1)   Can we run with the above landscape or is it necessary to have the SRM-MDM Catalog Java components installed on the same server as MDM.
2)   Do we have problems with versioning of the MDM server and the SRM-MDM java components ? We already replaced the MDM_JAVA_API with the correct one, but I do not have a newer version of the other api.
3)   Do I need to configure anything on the MDM server to get this running ?
Thanks in advance for your help
Regards
Raymond

Hi Foh,
Apologies for my late reply, but I was travelling. Thanks for this tip. We were using the latest versions for the MDM Portal Content, but the API for the SRM-MDM catalog was different.
I have updated this API with the latest version (Patch 3 HF 1) and now I can logon to the MDM server and I see the MDM Repositories. However if I now try to logon to one of the repositories he gives me the same error that the Login has Failed. The user that I am using is the default one coming with the SRM-MDM repository (Admin).

Decimal places in SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0

Hi experts,
Iu2019m using SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 and Iu2019ve an issue related to the decimal places configuration.
Our products are defined with 2 decimal places and after importing the records I can see them in Data Manager with the correct price information. However, when I access my catalog in EP, I can see all my records but without any decimal places. For instance, if I define a price 1.25 Eur for one product, in EP I have 1 Eur.
Can someone help me? Itu2019s really important that we can show the product correct price.
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Andreia Nascimento

Hi,
My problem was in MDM Data Manager - currencies table. If you choose currencies table, select your currency and check if there are any decimal places defined.
You can also check in MDM Console price table u2013 amount u2013 decimal places.

Multiple SRM Systems One SRM-MDM Catalog?

Hi
I'm currently upgrading our SRM 5.0 to SRM 7.01 with SRM-MDM Catalog 7.01. Is it possible to use one SRM-MDM Catalog in our non-production environment and connect multiple SRM systems to it?
For example our sandbox, development and QA SRM 7.01 systems would all connect to the same SRM-MDM Catalog 7.01.
Thanks.
Neil

Hi,
for non-production use and if it is just a catalog without custom coding running I see no problem in using one MDM server for multiple SRM systems (especially sharing one for sandboxes and dev). It is a setup I have seen multiple times and it worked always without problems.
You should set up different repositories for each SRM system so that you don't interfere with each others data (i.e. suppliers or other lookups tied to SRM).
You have to keep in mind that you have to upgrade all systems together. But you can always use separate MDM servers during the upgrade process and then consolidate onto one server when the upgrade is done.
If you are running custom coding with your MDM catalog I would recommend having a separate MDM system for the QA SRM in order to be closer to the production set-up when testing your custom solution.

Martin

SRM-MDM Catalog: Images not shown in search ui - only placeholder visible

Hello Expert,
we have the problem, that the images, which we imported into the repository using the Data Manager are not shown in the search ui. The image is visible in the Data Manager and assigned to a product.
If I make a right-click on the image in the brower, I get a URL like this
http://[server]:port]/webdynpro/resources/sap.com/tc~mdm~srmcat~uiprod/Components/com.sap.mdm.srmcat.uiprod.ItemDetails/null//Images?id=1&variant=Thumbnail&cachePath=/tmp/largeObjectRepositoriesCachedFolder/kfw-mdm-ae54/RepositoryPort_2010/User1&relativePath=t07/0000000/r00001v-2.jpg

Setting up SRM-MDM catalog 2.0 in PI 7.0

Hi guys,
Iu2019m configuring the scenario for SRM-MDM catalog 2.0 and in the IR when I open the configuration scenario SRM_MDM_Catalog I get the following error:
u201CSoftware component version with GUID 44345e20-149b-11da-ab19-eb7a0a114c15 does not existu201D
I went to a demo system and I found that this GUID belongs to the SWC SRM SERVER 6.0. So, it means this object SRM_MDM_Catalog from SWC SRM-MDM catalog is referencing some object in the SWC SAP SRM SERVER 6.0.. However, we are not working with SRM 6.0 but with 5.5 releases.
I also went to service marketplace and I didnu2019t find the package for SWC SAP SRM SERVER 6.0.
Without this SWC I canu2019t skip this error!! Anyone has faced this issue before? How can I get the PI content for SAP SRM SERVER 6.0.?
Thanks in advance,
Ricardo.

I fixed by myself.
It seems the XI content "SAP SRM SERVER 6.00" is not yet available for customers, but a SAP friend sent me the content. Now the problem it's fixed.

Ricardo.

Scenario - ( EC6 - XI - SRM-MDM Catalog )

Hi,
I am working on Scenario"Transfer Info records and contracts from ERP, Auto Import of contract and info Records from ERP".
Scenario:

Sender Side:
=>Run Tcode: MECCM in ERP system and send Purchasing info records to Catalog system via XI.
Recvr Side:
=>Same will be received as XML file in a file location(FTP Server running on SRM MDM catalog system).

XI Side:
=>I have uploaded XI Content in repository and same has been transported to Integration Directory also.
=>Using Intergation scenario configurator i have done all configurations in Integration Directory also.
=>I have configured XPATH in condition field for interface determination as dicussed in SAP OSS Note 967088 to be used for ths scenario.
=>Now when i am running the tcode from sender side message is getting stuck in SXMB_MONI with error: No receiver Determined.
I can understand there is some problem in Receiver Determination. When i tried to check all settings, only thing i found fishy was There was no Interface mapping being displayed in Interface determination but condition field is filled as discussed in SAP note 967088.
I doubt there is some problem in interface determination only.
Expert comments are required. I can send you screenshots if required.
Any help is appriciated.
Thanks,

SRM MDM catalog with Negative contract price

Hi SRM / MDM Gurus,
I am facing a problem, when transferring contract data from SRM MDM catalog 3.0 to SRM 7.0 shopping cart process.
Scenario:
We have a u201Cnegativeu201D contract Price in MDM and the same I can able to see in the SRM MDM catalog. When trying to add that contract item to shopping cart the price is always positive. For example the SRM MDM catalog contract price is -100.00, when trying to add that item to shopping cart it is always 100.00.
Is there any configuration or OSS to resolve this issue?
Kindly also let me know is it possible pass negative value to shopping cart?
Kindly let me know your comments.
Thanks.
Regards,
Magesh Basavaraj.

Inactive Catalog item still display in SRM - MDM catalog

HI,
I have one new issue in SRM-MDM catalogs.
For Catalog Item there is one field called 'status' having value Active and Inactive and I change the status to Inactive for one of the Catalog item in Data manager but when i access the same in SRM - MDM catalog from Shopping cart, the Catalog item still display there.
Does anyone guide me.
Smriti

Hi experts,
I'm facing the same issue...
I check the NAMEDSEARCH parameter used in the Catalog definition in SPRO and in some cases we have data in this field and in other cases we haven't. Is this a problem?
Thanks for your help

Service hierarchy for SRM-MDM catalogi scenario

Hello,
We tried setting up the 'new' SRM-MDM service hierarchy catalogi. I've looked over some sdn threads already and read the SAP help http://help.sap.com/saphelp_srm70/helpdata/en/6b/7fb967f6cd4df0a5a9d5dec7e4aa72/frameset.htm. Both told me the service hierarchy should work in the SRM 'bidding/RFx' scenario. Since service hierarchy should work for RFx we continued trying setting it up but ran into the following problem:
Up on opening our service hierarchy catalogi it returns the following message 'Table is empty' and does not show us any items(mss hierarchy is enabled in the SRM-MDM UI configuration for this catalogi). If we change thé UI setting to 'products' the items do show-up in a 'flat' manner (without hierarchy).
- We've set up grouping in the SRM-MDM catalogi for these items
- We've set up an entry in the MSS hierarchy lookup table and assigned this entry some of the catalogi items
- We've not setup any MSS Hierarchy price
- We've setup the item types, the outline item is of type 'MSS header' the subtypes are of type 'Free Text' and the MSS hierarchy entry is of type 'MSS header' aswell.
- we've setup the hierarchy manually with testdata via the important manager (no pi/ix).
Could anybody confirm service hierarchy works in the RFx scenario (mss hierarchy enabled)? Is there something we've missed or are forgetting? Any other pointters are greatly appreciated.
Kind regards,
Tim

Hello Masa,
We have not loaded our service hierarchy catalogi items from ECC nor SRM. We've manually set-up test-date via the import manager and data manager tools. This, as long as you set it up correctly, should still work in my oppinion?
For the UI configuration the service (mss) is enabled causing the 'empty table' line to show up. If we would change it to 'product' the items would show but in a flat manner.
Do you have any other pointers . F.e. what the item types should be (subitems: free-text and header: mss-header) and what the role of the mss-hierachy and mss-pricing table are and what we should do with those? We've configured grouping (main item, component item, substitute item ..) to enable hierarchy is this correct?
Ps. What does 'MSS' stand for, what does it mean?
Kind regards,
Tim

Doubts on SRM MDM Catalog

Hi xprerts,
Few doubts on SRM MDM Catalog...
1. I am running SRM MDM Catalog 1.0 and when i launch the http://localhost:50100/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tc~mdmsrmui/MDM_SRM_UI_App (Webdynpro UI) am not getting the password field only server with no password is working here.
What should be done to have this password field?
2. I have deployed SRM MDM Catalog 1.0 webdynpro content and SRM MDM Java API on WAS 7.0 and i am using MDM Server as sp5 with SRM MDM Catalog repository .Will it work or not?
Awaiting ur response
Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
Are you sure you have the latest patch for SRM-MDM? I am at SRM-MDM Catalog 1.0 SP01 Patch00 Hotfix02, and I now have the server password field displayed in Config UI (wasn't there in early versions).
As for your second question, I guess you will have to be more specific. Or better wait until you set everything up, and run a test from Shopping Cart. Then revert with problems, if any.
Cheers,
Serguei

SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 - Installation Process

Hi All,
I'm in the process of installing SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 but I'm not sure about the correct installation process.
The SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 installation guide indicates that the following instances are mandatory for SRM-MDM Catalog system:
1- Java system with the central instance, the central services instance, the database instance
2- MDM Server, and MDM Import Server
We have covered the first point by installing an SRM 7.0 JAVA system. Regarding the second requirement, I have some doubts in the way it should be completed. What we did so far was to install the SRM-MDM catalog 3.0 from the MDM 7.1 installation master. So, we now have two MDM server instances: MDS and MDIS.
I'm stuck now. I'm not sure on how to connect my SR-MDM system to the JAVA DB (created in step 1) to create a new MDM schema within it. This makes me wonder if I've followed the correct process. Could you please clarify and explain which steps should be performed to get my SRM-MDM system up and running? Actually my main concern is..Should I first install a MDM system as it's described in MDM IG, and after that perform the installation of the SRM-MDM catalog as I've already done in step 2?
Hope being clear enough I'll wait for your suggestions.
Thanks and regards

Hi Diego.
The Installation Note Number for SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 is : 1177779. The recommended steps would be to follow how the Installation Guide recommends you to do so.
But still your assumption is correct. MDM landscapes and Java landscapes are both different set of categories to be installed to make the Catalog scenario to be successfull.
Step 1: Make sure you have the back end database server(SQL/Oracle/???) is installed.
Step 2: Make sure all the MDM components(MDS, MDIS, etc) is installed.
Step 3: Make sure Java WebAS is installed correctly.
Step 4: Now deploy the Catalog SCA and MDM Connector deployed in the Java WebAS.
Step 5: You can unarchive and load the repository.
Step 6: Try to launch the catalog using the URL provided to check and make sure if the connection is fine.
Also what Masa has mentioned is the communication path how the whole process is achieved technically and that doesn't mean that it has to be in the same order which he has mentioned. The below sequence is just an path to describe how the communication is achieved technically.
User -> Browser(Search UI deployed on AS Java) -> (Java API on AS Java) -> MDM Server -> MDM Repository -> DB
Relating Masa's path with the above steps
User ->
Browser(Search UI deployed on AS Java) -> Step 3 and 4
(Java API on AS Java) -> Step 3 and 4
MDM Server -> Step 2
MDM Repository -> Step5
DB-> Step 1
Hope this helps.

Bala

Installation of SRM MDM Catalog

Hi SAP Mentors,
We are installing SRM MDM Catalog. I needed some clarification regarding the same. The version for SRM MDM Catalog is 7.02. Do I need a SRM 7.02 server with MDM 7.1 installed on it , on which I will be putting SRM MDM Catalog?
Please let me know as we need to start installation Monday. The docs are not very clear.
Thanks,
Asad

Zafar,
Yes. You need to have same release including the patch level. We experienced similar scenario and resolved all issues only after syncing the release and SP level.
hope it helps.
