SRM MDM with Multiple Repositories and required S&A.

Hello everyone,
We are in the planning process to migrate from CCM to MDM. Our current environment has two separate customers running on two separate SAP clients in SRM 5.0 using the internal CCM (one SAP SRM instance, 2 separate SAP clients).
In MDM it seems the concept of SAP client does not exist but the concept of an MDM Repository. I was thinking that by creating two dfifferent repositories (one for each customer) it would substitue the concept of the internal CCM on each SAP client.
Can we have one MDM system with two separate repositories one for each of the existing customers with the required S&A?
That is, customer A will logon to MDM to maintain only A's repository. Customer A must not be allowed to access B's repository and viceversa.
Also, Repository A would be published only for users using SRM system under SAP Client A, and Repository B would be published only for users using SRM system under SAP Client B.
The intention is that each customer will have their own electronic catalog.
Thank you.
Martin

Hi Martin,
The answer to your question is yes, it is possible to have one MDM system with two separate repositories one for each of the existing customers (that intend to have different electronic catalogs).
In fact, I think this would be the best way to separate: 1. data sets, 2. access.
1. Each MDM repository carries its own data set (like SAP client)
2. Each MDM repository has its own security (users/passwords, roles, etc.)
Another consideration (relates to point 1) is bringing data from SAP client (e.g. product master, contracts). Since you have two different SAP clients, managing replicated data from both of them in one MDM repository would be a form of suicide.
You can have multiple repositories on one MDM server. A common case is when you have a staging (master) repository, and a production (slave) repository. The slave repository is what you show to searching end users; the master repository is for data loads. You synchronize the slave repository with any changes from the master at such time when you're sure the master is good to publish.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Serguei

How to achieve no-downtime solution deployment on farms with multiple WFEs and LB

Taking SharePoint Solution Deployer, my opensource PowerShell deployment script, to the next level,
Bill Simser got me the idea of making the deployment even more smooth on farms with multiple WFEs and load balancer in order to achieve a no-downtime deployment
The basic idea is to deploy the solutions on each WFEs one-by-one by
1. Taking one WFE offline
2. Installing the solution with the -local switch
//Solution deployment
Install-SPSolution -Identity <solutionname>.wsp –GACDeployment –CASPolicies –Local
// Solution upgrade
Update-SPSolution -Identity <solutionname>.wsp -LiteralPath LocalPathOfTheSolution.wsp -GacDeployment -Local
3. Run post-deployment actions on the WFE (ie. restart services, recycle apppools or IIS reset, warmup server), which my script already does for each server
4. Take WFE online again
5. Repeat step 1-4 for all other WFEs
I am struggling with three things here:
1. The whole deployment process could be quite risky when something goes wrong in between. And in order to roll back I would require the original solution if it was already deployed before (which I can back up of course before I replace
it)
Anything which involves changing the content dbs should of course be done after the solutions is deployed to the whole farm, so this should not hurt in this case.
Anyway MSDN says that the "DeployLocal" method (which I assume is the same as the -local switch in PS ) should be only used
for
troubleshooting purposes.
So it would be great to hear about anyones experiences with it
2. As there can be different types of load balancers (hardware, software) which might not be configurable through my script I assume that taking out the WFE from the the load balancer may not always be possible.
So I thought about just taking the server offline.
I haven't found an option yet to take only one server in the farm offline (without removing it from the farm of course), so maybe I miss something. Any ideas?
3. Before taking a single WFE offline, I would like to assure that this server does not have any open sessions, operations of users ongoing. Unfortunately I found only the possibility to quiesce the whole farm, but not a single
server. Am I missing something?
Appreciate any ideas which might point me in the direction to solve the overall goal!

Hi Mike,
unfortunately not. I tried several different approaches but didn't really success reliably with any of them. So eventually I gave up on it.
Interesting idea though that Eric Hasley is commenting on the blog post you mentioned.
"There is another approach that has worked for me in the past. Because the deployment to each server is handled through a timer job,
by stopping the timer service in a controlled fashion you can rollout your solution without incurring any user outage."
It could work like that (in theory).
Stop the SPTimerV4 on all servers in the farm apart from one.
Take out the one to deploy to from the NLB
Wait until it has no connections
Deploy the solutions on it in the ordinary way (eg. with my
SharePoint Solution Deployer ;))
Put it back into the NLB and take the others out
Wait until they have no connections left
Activate the timer service on the others servers and let them deploy
Put them back into the NLB
No clue if this is actually working and you still have the problem with the NLB, so it could take a while.
Also I am not certain what happens in state 5 if users use different versions of your solutions at the same time (old version on the remaining open connections, new version on the updated server)
I do not have a suitable farm at hand to play with it though, so can't test it.

With multiple iPhones and an iPad, how do I keep from downloading info from one device to another? All of my info, example my calendar, ended up on my daughter's iPad.

Each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes when syncing multiple devices with the same iTunes library under the same computer login account.
If sync calendars with the same calendar is selected under the Info tab for your daughter's iPad sync preferences with iTunes, the same calendar will be synced with her iPad.

How to make an editable bulleted list with multiple lines and custom bullets?

How do I create an editable bulleted list in Acrobat Pro? I've figured out how to add text fields with multiple lines, and how to add a list box, but I don't see the check box for multiple lines in the list box or how to add bullet points. Can someone please give me step by step instructions? Also is it possible to use custom bullet points?

Is it a text field or a list box field? The two are not the same...
The bullets are something that the user will have to enter manually (into a text field, they can only select values in a list-box).
They can use any unicode character, or special characters if the font used for that field allows for it. You can't use images for the bullets, if that's what you mean.

Posting an Idoc with Multiple Headers and Multiple Lines

Hi all,
I have a scenario like this fileXIIdoc
Invoice file comes in text file with multiple header and multiple lines like this
111               aaa     13214234    US   (header)
09082010     ABC    9999            A     (Line)
222               ccc     43454543    US   (header)
09082010     XYZ    7777            B     (Line)
09082010     PQR    8888            C     (Line)
I need to post single Idoc with all the headers and lines
we are planning to use Custom Idoc,Is this possible by having the header segment as unbounded??
Regards
Edited by: Vamsi Krishna on Sep 8, 2010 8:05 PM

hi,
lets go again.
you have to edit the custom IDoc and change the ocurrance on the header segment. also modify the details segment adding an addtional field that identify which header that this detail belong.
for this case you cannot change the occurrance in SAP PI because you wont identify what i have told you before. in PI apply to change the occurrance if you could send ONE Idoc Per Header.
now is better clear???
Let us know.
Thanks

Import Illustrator File with multiple layers and sublayers as composition retaining all layers and sublayers

I have drawn a country map with multiple layers and sublayers including streets, cities, rail lines, ...
Now I want to create a template for my collegues in After Effects.
For this I want to import the .ai file into After Effects retaining all sublayers and layers in compositions and subcompositions.
When I do that, I get the first couple of layers correctly, the other ones comes in one merged composition.
What can I do, to get all layers each as a layer in After Effects?
Yours, Raphael

Illustrator only imports the first level of layers. If you have groups or paths below you need to release the groups to layers. The layers will then be stacked in order as sub layers. Then you need to move them up.
The steps are to select a layer in the Illustrator layer panel, then without selecting any specific element in the layer click on the menu in the top right corner and select release to layers. All a elements in that layer will be converted to layers. Now select them all and drag them up above the original layer. This will leave the original layer empty and put all elements in new layers.
Here's a tutorial I did a zillion years ago which uses this technique to turn a blend into a morph.
Morphing With Adobe Illustrator. I hope this helps.

Downloading .xls file with multiple rows and Columns

Hi ALL,
I need to genarate .xls file with multiple rows and and Columns and sent as an email.Since our customer having Problem with .CSV files need to genarate .XLS file.
Please do the needful.
Thanks
Madhu

Hi Madhu,
You might also consider using Excel Spreadsheet XML as the target structure (namespace is urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet). When you double-click the resulting xml on a PC it automatically opens with Excel. So, users don't see a difference. It will open up a lot of options with formatting including creating multiple worksheets if you wanted to. Best of all you can stick with XML.
See my response in this thread:
Re: Convert XML data into XLS

I made a project with multiple tracks and had it all panned and mixed. Now it's only playing in the right speaker. Not even regestering a left side in the master volume? What happened, how can I get both sides back?

Thank you for that info.
For video, the codec is MPEG-4 Video (XVID) and for audio it says MPEG Audio Layer 1/2/3 (mpga).
There are two issues with that file:
The first is the Xvid CODEC (not meant for editing), and then the MPEG Audio/MPGA. I would convert that file, to something that is more editable.
Good luck,

Implementing SRM-MDM with WebDynpro ABAP or JAVA and OCI

Hi,
I have the following situation at one of our clients.
They have implemented the SRM-MDM catalog. Via MDM the SRM server displays the catalog via ITS.
Now I want to make a WebDynpro which can talk to SRM-MDM catalog and sends the data to the shopping cart and then to SAP. How to do this? Is this possible?
It is also possible to make an iview in the portal, which reads the catalog directly from MDM. Then another iView with my own WebDynpro. Via portal eventing, I can receive which item is clicked in the catalog. Then I can show the right webdynpro view. Can I then directly call the BAPI in SRM to send the order?
What is OCI in this case exactly? Do I need that? I am new on this topic, any help is appreciated.
Sandhya

Are you basically trying to put a new User Interface (UI) on top of MDM because you do not want to use the standard MDM UI? If so, then yes you could write a custom WebDynpro and use the MDM API. We evaluated WebDynpro as an option, but instead we built a new Adobe Flex based UI that sits on top of the MDM Catalog and it totally awesome! There is a sample on our website (www.simplifying-it.net), but we are making some changes to the look/feel... however, the sample demo on the website should give you an idea.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thanks,
Mark

SRM MDM - store multiple pricing for one entry and have it select the price based on a users site

I've had an interesting request. We have a region where they have one supplier who will support some products for multiple sites. The sites are in different cities and so the pricing varies based on the location of the user. I know how to do price scaling in SRM MDM but wasn't sure if there was a way to have one part that could someone pick the right price based on the user. I don't think this can be done since we don't pass any "user" information in the OCI connection.
Has anyone run into this scenario and was there some other way to not duplicate the entries or create a separate view just because the pricing was different for the same product but different site? I'm open for suggestions. I'm looking to make long term maintenance of the data as easy as possible.
We are still running SRM MDM 5.5 SP6
