Start-Up With MDM
Hi all,
How to start -up MDM as a fresher to this. Can you provide me with the links or material.
Thanks
Manju.
Hi Manju,
As a beginner,i would suggest that you firstly understand what exactly do you mean by master data,what are its problems and then the how to part of how SAP MDM can address these problems.
To begin learning MDM you have the MDM REf guides available with SAP.
- MDM Console
- MDM Data manager
- MDM Import manager
- MDM Syndicator.
These reference guides covers everything unders MDM.
You can try working with Demo rep provided by SAP in the below links:
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-demomodel#section21 (Demo Rep)
http://www.inquera.com/InqueraCatalog/CustomerLogin.asp (Demo Rep from Inquera you need to register and they will mail you)
These repositorise can be used as Training rep for practice purpose.
For that you first need to download and install MDM.
For that refer the below links for installations:
https://websmp102.sap-ag.de/installmdm (MDM Instalaltion)
https://websmp102.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001119842007E (MDM Installation)

Communication Channel Error with MDM PI Adapter
Dear Experts,
We had new sever for PI(image copy). In new PI server we are facing problem only with MDM adapterin communication channel monitoring and below error occuring.
*" MDM Adapter listener could not start due to: Can not create repository session '<server=SAPMDMD serverUser=Admin repository=TTSL_Vendor_Dev user=Admin>' caused by: Connection Failed: Cannot create connection to MDM Server 'SAPMDMD' for one of the following reasons: (1) server does not exist, (2) server is not started, or (3) input/output problem while creating connection, error code: UnknownServer "
Any expert please help us to resolve this.
Thanks in advance.

Make sure that connection is fine between systems. Test the RFC's in both systems. Also check the services too.

Hi Guy's
I had seen many posts saying that career in MDM will be booming. But on contractary I had seen jon saying that it is good to have skill and that too with BI ( http://www.jonerp.com/component/option,com_jd-wp/Itemid,20/p,40/ ). After reading this I am in big confusion wheather to take up MDM course as ABAPER or not.
Please let me know you help views on how would be the career in MDM with ABAP would be?
Thanks
PoweredHi,
As a whole if you talk about MDM system it basically dependent upon,
1. Cosolidation 2. Harmonization 3. Centralized scenarios
so when you consolidate data in MDM, it comes from outside systems like SAP R3/ERP/CRM, any Legacy system or any 3rd party system. and in harmonization you send back after doing some manipulation on that data. similarly centalization means doing every thing in MDM. Thats baiscs.
Let me tell now, you are an abaper and you know all the tables which are related to Customer, vendor, Material, sales, bank, Purchase, shipping, etc...
and mdm when takes data from R3/SAP from my point of view if you have knowledge of that system. Its good to have.
MDM also deals with ABAP APIS so its also good for an abaper.
For starting MDM see this link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm550/helpdata/en/43/D7AED5058201B4E10000000A11466F/frameset.htm and you can search this forum you will find a lot of things for MDM and ABAP with MDM etc...
Rewards if useful.

Issues with MDM installation - Windows + MaxDB 7.7
I list here some observations resulting from the installation of MDM on Windows with MaxDB
You can find the documentation here:
http://service.sap.com/installMDM
Important is the Installation Guide.
1) only two files are needed:
MDM: 51032724.zip (more then 1GB)
MaxDB: http://service.sap.com/swdc
Support Packages and Patches, Additional Components, MaxDB, MAXDB 64-BIT, MAXDB 7.7 64-BIT -> MAXDB7702_16-10004357.SAR
2)
the installer propose sometime the path sdb and sometimes sapdb
I always used M:\sapdb\....
install the maxdb as explained in the inst. guide of mdm
http://service.sap.com/installMDM
( first client , then client+server)
mdm installation is straightforward
(3x server + some clients)
3) Install OSS 684106 (paragraph 3.2.1 in the installation guide)
4) restart the system after installing
5) start the console and use only the DB-User SAPMDMDB with password SAP
6) After creating a repository, log in using the user Admin and no PW
7) capital letter are in general importantHi Manish,
Here are other some problems you may face...
1) 7.1 does not support some of the database charset which was supported in 5.5, which may lead to re-installation of database...
2) Multiple workflows on single record was supported in 5.5 but its no longer possible with 7.1, which may lead to redesign of existing scenarious...
3) A strict ristriction is added in Import manager xml maps, which requires single root element in xml. There is autimatic transformation step for doing this, but dont know how much it works accuretly...
4) Tuple is added as new structure, but is has more restriction than the qualified lookup, validation are applicable for qualified lookup but you cannot write validation and assignment on multivalued tuple...
5) PI Adapter is marketed as "it can directly intereact with MDM", but as such there is no advantage because only ftp will get replaced with java api calls, and PI/XI cannot directly read-from or write-to MDM. all the file transfer via import and syndicator remain same continuing "BLACK BOX Communication" bettween MDM and PI/XI.

Hi
i am going to work on the project which have the components like EP and MDM. it is going to start soon.
so far i have not worked in this combination.
can u tell me what are the requirments will come between EP and MDM ?
how are the interactions will be happend between EP and MDM
can u tell me more about that MDM and portal combinations???
i am not aware of MDM but knows abt portal
it is very helpful to me if any body gives good suggestions.
Regards
SunilHi Sunil,
Portal with MDM is a very hot area now as everything is moving to ESOA .
Before starting with the integration you need to do some prior installation setup on EP side
- Business packages which will contain MDM connector,Java API's etc needed to set up the connection between these two systems.
You can work on different scenarios using the EP MDM combination.
1)Basic Scenario: Accessing MDM repositories from Portal.
You can use std iviews provided and connect o MDM system by doing the basic req config on EP side like creating sytem aliases,system objects etc and access the MDM rep from EP .You can view the Master data ,create it,edit it,delete it etc all the MDM activities can then be carried out from EP side.
2) UWL:Running MDM workflow through Guided procedures.
You can create MDM Workflow and run these from Ep side through Guided procedures.This will give single point of acces to Master data.
The workflow jobs will be displayed in the UWl and by doing User Mapping workflow jobs can be handled by different user Roles.Control is passed from Ep workflow to MDM workflow through Java Api's
Hope this helps
Thanks & Regards

I guess I squeezed my entire issue into the subject line. lol When I sync my iphone to my laptop I notice that all my address book pics and iphone pics have become lower resolution, even though I started out with the resolution that I really needed to produce decenty address book printouts. I doubt I can correct the losses of resolution that have occurred but can anyone help me figure out how to prevent future losses? Thank you!
Plugins usually are installed externally to Firefox. However, you can disable them in Firefox so that Firefox does not use them.
SearchReset is supposed to automate the task of resetting certain preferences, but you still can edit them manually if necessary.
'''''Address Bar Search'''''
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the filter box, type or paste '''keyword''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Right-click '''keyword.URL''' and choose Reset. This should restore Google as the default for address bar search.
Does that work?
'''''Search Box'''''
Usually it works to choose your preferred search engine from the drop-down. To remove an unwanted search engine plugin, usually the Manage Search Engines... choice at the bottom of the drop-down takes care of it.
Do either of those work?
There might be another way to hijack that search box; I think some of the other frequent responders probably are more familiar with it than I am. -
fire fox opens with tabs from preveous session not home page in tools under options and tab general I have start up with home page but all tabs from previous session open instead

If you see files sessionstore-##.js with a number in the left part of the name like sessionstore-1.js then delete those as well.
Deleting sessionstore.js will cause App Tabs and Tab Groups to get lost, so you will have to create them again (make a note).

Why does my itunes crash after start up with an "APPCRASH" error every time i open it?! I have been trying to fix this for weeks but all i can do it re-install it every other day which does nothing! I am desperate to get access to my itunes to get music on my phone and all of this just makes me want me to sell my iphone since there is no other way to add music to my phone. If things go get sorted soon you can say goodbye to my support.
For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
The further information area has direct links to the current and recent builds in case you have problems downloading, need to revert to an older version or want to try the iTunes for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) release as a workaround for installation or performance issues, or compatibility with QuickTime or third party software.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there are also links to backup and recovery advice should it be needed.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, Interface builder starts up with an error every boot.
I've got a late 2008 Macbook Unibody 13", and a few months back I upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Ever since the upgrade, at every boot up Interface Builder starts up with an error. I've just ignored it mostly, but now I'm getting annoyed with it. How can I find the programs that start up every boot to research this, or stop it from loading Interface Builder every time?
You have to delete it using the minus sign at the bottom. The check/un-check is for hiding items.

How do I start iTunes with whichever iTunes library I want?
How do I start iTunes with whichever iTunes library I want?
I've created a 2nd iTunes library using the "press shift-key while opening iTunes from the start menu" method given in iTunes help. Now, when I try to start iTunes from the Quick Launch menu or from the system start menu, I get the new library--without choosing it.
Otherwise, the new library works as I'd hoped. By turning off "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library," I'm able to use "Add Folder to Library" (where the folders are in the 1st iTunes library) without using more disk space for the 2nd library. So far, it works just fine for CDs and movies. I'm anticipating an iPad which can hold much less than my iPod Classic.
I have the latest iTunes (10.2.1.1)A solution found!
I found where Apple addresses the question. Actually, I had tried this before I found Apple's answer and before I asked the question here and I didn't get it to work. I finally have it working, but the Apple answer is missing a step--or so it seems.
Locating Apple's answer:
From the iTunes window,
Help > More resources > iTunes Support Website > iTunes Library and Backup > iTunes Library >
How to open an alternate iTunes Library file or create a new one.
Apple quote:
1.If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
2.If you are using Windows, hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu and choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes.
3.If you are using the Mac, open iTunes and immediately hold down the Option key.
4.You should see one of the following screens:
End quote.
As it says, you get a prompt to: Quit or Choose Library or Create Library.
I created my new library by choosing "Create Library" and expected to be able to use "Choose Library" later. So, when I clicked "Choose Library," I got a new window that's titled "Open iTunes Library" (it looks a lot like a Windows Explorer window). I selected (on the sidebar) the old library, clicked "Open" and nothing happened. The problem is likely my inexperience with this type of issue, but, still, the solution seems hokey.
After too much screwing around and a 24oz beer, this is what's working:
1. If iTunes is running, quit iTunes.
2. Hold down the Shift key and from the Start menu, choose All Programs > iTunes > iTunes. (You don't have to have the shift key down until just before you click the last "iTunes.") Don't release the shift key 'til the prompt comes up.
3. The prompt is: Quit or Choose Library or Create Library. Click "Choose Library."
4. When the "Open iTunes Library" window comes up, click the desired iTunes library on the sidebar. (Mine are named "iTunes" and "iTunesIPad.")
5. Then, you'll see a list of items in the right pane. Find the file named "iTunes Library.itl" and click it.
6. Now, with both the iTunes library name selected on the sidebar and the "iTunes Library.itl" file selected in the right pane, click the "Open" button.
7. iTunes will come up using the desired library.
8. Using iTunes from the Quick Launch menu or the desktop will bring up the same iTunes library again, even if you shut down your computer.
9. When you want to change the iTunes library in use, start at step 1.
Nice about this, is that I would only have to get into the "iTunesIPad" library if I need to add something to it from my regular "iTunes" library or I want to sync to the iPad. Most of the time, I'll use my regular 185GB "iTunes" library (even here, I deselect many movies so that I can sync the library to my iPod).
Caution:
I must add the warning that I'm doing this because the iPad (that I don't have yet), won't hold even half of what I have in my iTunes library. At this point, the "iTunesIPad" library will take up very minimal disk space since it's using pointers to the regular library rather than copies from the regular library AND it's easy to switch between libraries only when needed. I can't say that this will all work until I try more setup work and I actually use it with an iPad. If someone knows that this is going to cause problems or if they have a better idea, I'd sure welcome comment. BTW, before trying this, I restructured my iTunes library (File > Library > Organize Library > Reorganize files in the folder "iTunes Media.") to bring it up to date and then backed it up on an external drive. The website "iLounge" has an article about the old and new library structure. -
^^ that's the question... Want to delete the current and start over with the one I've already created, but want to keep all my songs and apps. Is it possible?
