SRM MDM, Error, "Table with Code 'null' does not exist in repository"

Hi experts,
We has SRM MDM scenario, while doing OCI settings, we are able to connect with MDM repository but getting follwoing error message in portal, "java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Table with Code 'null' does not exist in the repository 'Repository' or is one of the system table (e.g. Workflows) that is not exposed in repository schema"
Can You please suggest,
Thanks and Regards,
Munish

Hi everyone,
Sudhanshu and Anshuk:- Thanks for your response, let me try and explain the real scenario in details:-
We have deployed the SRM-MDM Catalog Search UI in Portal.
We tried accessing the http://<Portal Host>:<Portal Port>/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM
Then we got a screen (Search UI App screen), where in we have provided the MDM Server name, then the MDM Server Password, then presses the Connect button, then below this, it displayed the Repository name created in the MDM. We have selected the Repository, then provided the Credentials of a User (Name: T_CORP) in MDM which has "Catalog Manager", and the "UI Configuration Manager" Roles. Please note that these Role names were created by us in MDM. Is it the right procedure or do we have any standard Roles delivered by SAP in MDM to map? If any standard Roles are available, where we need to check these.
Once the Credentials of MDM User is provided, and then selected the "Login" button.
Then we are getting the below error.
"java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Table with Code 'null' does not exist in the repository 'Repository' or is one of the system table (e.g. Workflows) that is not exposed in repository schema"
Please clarify; we are not configuring any values in iViews. Where we need to do this, I mean name of the iView, and what values do we need provide generally? We are just running the Search UI App application; I don't think it is an iView, because the URL shows the Application name details, etc...
Please guide us, how to fix this Error.
Thanks and Regards,
Munish

SRM-MDM AS Java Sizing

I have some sizing questions regarding the SRM-MDM NW AS Java instance.
In the document "Sizing SRM-MDM Catalog 2.0 SP03" the following equation is provided for calculating memory requirements for the NW AS Java server:
Fixed Memory = CMULANG*CAT + 50MB
C = fixed memory contant (~ 15mb per 100k items in catalog)
MU = number of MDM users
LANG = number of languages for concurrent connections
CAT = number of catalogs
It is unclear whether these variables are for all catalogs or for each catalog. I would assume that since there is a multiplier for the number of catalogs (CAT) that the rest of the parameters are for each catalog.
With that assumption I would have the following values for my system. Can anyone confirm that I am interpreting the meaning of the variables correctly?
C is based on the number of items I have per catalog (not total), in my case 1000items/catalog. So C= .15 MB
MU is the number of MDM users where an MDM user is defined in the document as: "the user who is maintained in the URL of the catalog. The available MDM users can be seen in the MDM Console. Only those users who have role Catalog User assigned can access the SRM-MDM Catalog." I am not sure why more than one MDM users would be needed so I am using the value 1.
LANG is the number of languages for concurrent connections. Is this per catalog or for all catalogs? If I assume all I would guess that I might have 5 separate languages at any given time.
CAT in my case is a very large number as we have a large amount of small catalogs (~250).
Fixed Memory = .15MB * 1 * 5 * 250 + 50MB = 237.5MB

Hello Michelle,
MU--> How many no of MDM user will use the catalog on the web.(In current version of catalog max 50 user can log into the catalog concurrently)
If you not mentioned the user credential in the catalog access URL, it will ask fior the catalog user name and pwd. It totally depend on the business req, how you have to use the MDM users for the catalog.

Making changes in SRM MDM Catalog page

Hi All,
I am working on SRM MDM Catalog 2.0. I need to make some changes in shopping cart create screen. My changes include
Renaming the label, deleting the tabs, changing the look and feel of the catalog page etc.,
Can any one guide me whether Is it possible to do any settings in the UI for any of these issues ?If not how can i go about it to make these chanegs in the shopping cart page? Or is there any other way to make these changes..
Can anyone please guide me on this...
Thanks & Regards
Sireesha.

Hello Sreesha,
You can configure the look n feel of your Catalog Screen.
The SRM-MDM catalog business content, there are some scar files which you have deployed on the server.With the help of that scar file, you can access the search UI Catalog Screen from the link as mentioned below:
Http://servername:port/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM
Just coneect with your MDM server by server name and password then select your repository.In the standard repository of SRM-MDM, there is alreardy a user as "Master" having role as "UI Configuratation Manager"
Just login with user as "Master" and pwd as blank.
then you can find the UI screen, there are so many functionality to configure your catalog screen.
Hope this will help you.

SRM MDM Catalog ---- SRM

Hi,
Is there a middleware (Pi) required to connect "SRM MDM" with "SRM" ?
Can anyone explain the integration between these two.
Points will be given
Thanks!

Hi,
In the SRM MDM Catalogue bundle provided from SAP, there are 2 SCA files provided along with the other components. So your basis team need to deploy those SCA files through SDM (Software Deployment Manager) in SRM Portal. The files arovided are for background connectivity of MDM+SRM and the second one is for UI(User Interface) Management. So after deploying the same, your basis team will provide you 1 url which is composite of your server name, port etc.
Paste that URL in Internet Explorer and it will route you to that UI Manager. You should have UI Manager role assigned to your user ID so that you can access the UI. By Default there is 1 user created in MDM as Master with blank password which is used to maintain the UI as it has that role assigned to it.
So when you open that link, it will ask you for server name, password of that server and later User ID of SRM repository and Password. When you login into that, it will show you the configuration done for SRM Portal. There is one button named as OCI (Open Catalogue Interface)mapping. So when you press on that, it will open the OCI mapping sheet where the MDM fields will be mapped to corresponding SRM Portal fields to view the data. By this mean only the connectivity is done for SRM MDM Scenario.
XI is required in only case when you need both the functionalities like you need to use SRM MDM and normal MDM scenario in a single repository. For eg you have one catalogue consisting several materials which are displayed as Catalogue and all the materials which are changed, should be sent to XI to send it further.
Once OCI is done, you need to maintain the webservice in SRM System for accessing the catalogues in MDM directly. For that Masks are created and assigned to that particular user id. In web Service, you need to define the URL, Server Name, Repository Name, Password, Mask etc by which you can automate the process and bifercate the users to access the catalogues related to their country or organisation.
Please let me know in case of any issues.

Gaurav

SRM MDM CATALOG VER10

Hi All,
There is a requirement at my customer end to have configurable product for catalog items.. it is possible???? As per my understanding it is not....
Configurable Product like: When some with employee role tries to but computer / laptop... he should be in a position to select from drop down menu in the shopping cart menu as which specification of HDD he can select 60 GB, 80 GB, 100 GB etc as maintained as characteristics multi value; similarly like selection of Display etc...
Please let me know if you have alternatives or work around's etc...
Regards,
Ram

Hello Ram,
There are several options.
1. E-Form
OCI has Business type = E-Form option. You can develop your own UI and transfer the values by BADI. There is Business card sample in the system.
SE80, Internet Service BBP_FREEFORM
SE19, BADI implementation BBP_BUSINESSCARDS
SE18, BADI definition BBP_CAT_CALL_ENRICH
2. Supplier SKU
If supplier provides SKU, you can put all SKU in the catalog. Memory and Disk should be attributes/Characteristics.
3. Coming SRM-MDM Catalog 2.0
I think there are some functional enhancement.

Named Searches in SRM-MDM

Dear Experts,
I try to create Named Searches On the SRM-MDM Catalog.
I created named searches and assigned each named search do CATALOG_ID.
I assigned the relevant CATALOG_ID to the organizational unit in the organizational stracture.
In the Search UI the user sees the link to the named search I assigned, but he still see all the Items and not only the items I assigned to the named search.
I guess I did not assign the items I picked properly.
Can someone help?
Thanks & Regards,
Keren

Hi,
In SRM MDM data manager select the current table as Named search in record mode.Right click -Add -Say NamedSearchS1.Then Select your main table as current table.Select the records which you want to display to particular user.Then go to menu Search-Add to named search S1.
Go to Console under roles table-select the particular role-under tables and field tab-Named search-add constraint as S1.
MDM support 400 named searches.
In EBP then add the s1 in call structure.

How to use the Masks in SRM-MDM catalog?

Hi Expert,
We are at SRM-MDM catalog 3.0.
There have two types of SRM contracts were transferd to one MDM catalog repository, and we config two different number range for these contract types. We will creat two web services in SRM IMG, only the same number ramge of the contracts could diaplay in one web service.
As this requirement, may be the MDM function Masks could be a solution I think. But when I try to separate the contracts with two masks in MDM Data Manager, I have no idea that how could I set the key filter with the contract number fields.
Could every expert tell me how could i set the Masks as this situation?

Hi
Have you assigned the masks created in data manager to some role in Console(Console-Roles TableRole1-Table and fields tabMask--add Mask 1 say)
Once the mask is assigned to the role then only the role can see records pertaining to that mask else it can see all the records in the repository.

SRM-MDM Catalog publication in portal

Hi experts,
Iu2019m facing some difficulties concerning MDM / portal integration. We are implementing SRM-MDM catalog scenario and Iu2019ve already created a catalog in MDM Data Manager. Iu2019ve also set the parameters for the web service definition in SRM system, and assigned the Catalog ID in ppoma_bbp.
However, Iu2019m still not able to access my catalog information in portal. When I try to access my catalog it is necessary to introduce again the logon details and an error message u201CLogon failedu201D is displayed, which is not normal right?
In addition, if I introduce my logon details nothing happens but the error message is changed for a warning message u201CLogon failedu201D. Consequently I cannot access my catalog in portal.
Can someone help me? What might being wrong with my catalog publication?
Many Thanks!
Best regards,
Andreia Nascimento

Hi,
Yes, You can define any user which has "Catalog User" Role defined in MDM in SRM Web Service". and this is not required to have same user in SRM system. You can assign this web service ID as attribute to any SRM user.
Did you get "Connection Successful Message"?? I couldn't see that in your Trace.. Once you test Connection then you should get message in Green "Connection test was successful".
Also, Check the following Things and revert with the result:
1. Is your repository Loaded?
2. Try to Console through the User which you have defined in Web Service. This will confirm whether User credentials are correct or not.
Also, let us know which version of SRM you are working with and what is version of your SRM-MDM Catalog.
Regards,
Shiv
Also Check this document (Page no 32 ) and make sure if you have defined other parameters correctly in the web service definition.

SRM-MDM catalog custom field

HI,
We are loading external supplier item in out SRM-MDM 3.0 catalog. Soem of the Items have additonal field which desbite the item in more detail (like length, color and so on). During the import we can easy add the field as attribute and see in the datamanager.
But whats about the SRM-UI. Is there a way to get the attribute field in the UI or do I really have to extend the repository ?
Regards,
Bernd

Hi,
As mentioned by Mark, you can easily make attributes available on SRM-MDM Search UI by configuring the UI applications.
I would like to add to Mark's statement that you should have Role "UI configuration manager" assigned in MDM to configure the UI interface.
Also, link for UI interface will be as follows: http://<Java WEB AS>:<Java Port>/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM
Open this link in a browser, connect to MDM server and catalog repository using user which has "UI configuration manager" role assigned in MDM. for example, Master, and complete the UI configurations.
Revert if any questions.
Best Regards,
Shiv

Enable Shopping Lists for every SRM-MDM Catalog User individually

Hi,
As per SAP Note 1153525, I am trying to pass the username through OCI parameter 'sl_user' with value 'SY-UNAME' and type SAP field. When I try to access the catalog through SRM, I get 'Logon Failed' error. Not sure if I am missing anything because if I use the normal 'username' parameter I am able to access the catalog content without any issues.
Also while using 'sl_user', I viewed the source code of the HTML doc and the username is correctly passing in the outbound OCI parameters.
Please advise.
Kind Regards,
Lalit

Hi Lalit,
Compare the URL passed by you with the below one
http://demosystem:57100/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM?sap-locale=EN&HOOK_URL=&mask=&namedSearch=&username=guest&password=guest&catalog=SRMMDM&server=demosystem&datalanguage=EN
Also note that the user you are passing should have Catalog User role assigned to it.
Kindly update us...

Reg..SRM - MDM Queries.

Hi,
We are implementing SRM5.0 with SRM-MDM 2.0
We have implemented the Standard Functionality of SRM-MDM2.0 without XI.
We have some doubts pertaining to SRM-MDM2.0
1) Why Key Mappings are required?
2) What is the purpose of Linking Attributes with Categories?
3) Why we have to upload the Images into several places.
    for eg in "Images" table and also in Catalog Items there is
    a field for images.Where exactly we have to upload images
    in Images table or in the Catalog Items field
    called "Images".
4) Functionality of "Mask"
5) In the Shopping cart 'Context View' Tab is missing.
6) How Shopping Cart will be used by the SRM user.
7) How we mapped SRM user with SRM-MDM Catalog.
8) In the "Catalogs Items" Table there is a field called "Relationships" what is the purpose of the same?
Kindly help me on the questions with details description.
BR,
Priti

Hi
1.Why Key Mappings are required
A remote systems objects are mapped to master data objects withinMDM using key mapping. A key mapping maintains the relationshipbetween the remote systems identifier (or key) for an object and thecorresponding master data object in MDM.A key in MDM is a remote system-specific and object-type-specificunique identifier.
4. Functionality of Mask
Masks is a static snapshot of the repository in other words it is a virtual repository that we create. Masks can be easily created based on your search in the Data manager client. You can then store this search as mask. Masks have to be first created in the data manager, this mask can be assigned to a given user in the console manager under the Roles table. Once the user is assigned mask he will be able to see only those records assigned to him. In other words it acts like views.
Masks can be also passed as parameter in the url if you are viewing the catalog in the browser (SRM-MDM). Records need to be added manually to the masks they dont get added dynamically.
8. Realtionships table
For relationships table you need to create relations between your records. This can be helpful when you have items details for procurement where your Main item can be related to a subsitute item or a component item or its accessories.
You can create relation ships in the main table record in the data Manager in the record mode just double click on the relationship pane in the Record Detail tab...you will get the relationship box for that record than you can just drag and drop other records as per the relation you want it to maintain with other records.
I think it may help u

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

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
