Transport Mechanism in MDM
Hi,
Can you please tell me how transport mechanism works for MDM from development to Testing to Production?
(Scenario is that all the three repositories are on different boxes and three MDM systems are maintained in SLD)
Hi Jaydeep,
Are you using SP03 or SP04? As per my knowledge SP03 is not build for this kind of scenario.
For SP04 it is possible to use transport utility. Please go thru the following link for your reference<a href="/people/savitri.sharma/blog/2006/08/03/increased-functionality-and-ease-of-use-the-ins-outs-of-mdm146s-new-transport-utility Utility</a>
Thanks & Regards,

We have currently 40 users to add content in the Web Page Composer (WPC) tool, but we are preparing for 100+ users when we start converting our existing Intranet content. We are interested in what your experience has been and what may be some lessons learned while using the WPC.
What kind of transport mechanism do you have in place (CTS u2013 manual or automated, ICE)? We would like to allow our users to push their content to PRD when they completed development and testing.
Any ideas or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!Simone-
As from our experience. It is best to have content admin for the intranet sites to create there content in production. Make sure they are given permissions only to create and modify content on WPC sites.
Its just content in production. That means they dont break any thing else. Creating content in Dev and transporting is not advisable. Because users create content every now and then. and they want it to show up immediatetly. It not worth the time spending on transport to.
EG. If user changes one link. You have to actually transport in all system. Which is more easier to change in prod.
Just control the permissions for users and give content admin for that website.
Please follow the link for more info on transporting.

What is the transport mechanism in XI??
How to transport from Development system to Production syatem.
Is there anyway other than Import or Export??
Thanks in advance,
Jeevan.When you migrate the Integration Server and the Integration Builder, you install a new IS/IB
3.0 on additional hardware. After completing the Customizing on IS 3.0, you use XI tools to
migrate XI configuration and runtime data from the IS 2.0 to the IS 3.0 system. Finally, you
have to switch the addressing for all application systems, adapters, and SLD parts from IS
2.0 to IS 3.0.
You can prepare most steps in setting up Release 3.0 without interrupting the operative use
of Release 2.0. Therefore, the XI downtime is kept to a minimum.
The basics of the migration procedure are as follows:
1. Installation and Customizing of Integration Server and Integration Builder (XI 3.0) on a
standby host machine (all-in-one)
2. Migration of SLD data from Release 2.0 to 3.0.
3. Migration of XI Integration Builder data from Release 2.0 to 3.0.
4. Cache refresh.
5. XI downtime starts, which disables the input stream into IS 2.0 / IS 3.0.
6. Migration of essential runtime data.
7. XI downtime ends, which enables the input stream into IS 3.0 again.
8. Address switching of adapters and application systems from IS 2.0 to IS 3.0.
Migration starts with the upgrade of the DEV landscape (including the DEV SLD) to Release
3.0
After upgrading the DEV landscape, there is no way to transport configuration data
from the DEV 3.0 landscape to the QA 2.0 or PRD 2.0 landscapes.
We recommend that you perform all required transports from DEV to QA or
PRD before the migration procedure is started for the whole landscape.
If you need to make configuration changes after the DEV landscape migration to DEV
3.0, for example, for emergency corrections, you need to make the configuration
changes separately and in parallel for DEV 3.0 as well as for QA 2.0 and PRD 2.0.
The transport mechanisms for the SLD and Integration Builder are described in the Online
Help.
All application systems in the DEV landscape must switch their addressing to the new
Integration Server 3.0 of the DEV landscape. For more information, see the relevant sections
below.

A customer has asked if I can describe our "data transport mechanism(s)" to move data between their databases. I have not been able to get more detail on what they are looking for, other than TCP is too low level.
We connect from one Oracle database to remote databases using database links for Oracle databases and Heterogeneous Services (ODBC or OLEDB) for other databases.
Can anybody help with a reference to Oracle's mechanism, or even some other "data transport mechanisms" so I can search for something at the correct level?
Thanks in advance,
DavidI would think a brief description of Oranet and ODBC would do the job along with a diagram of the Oranet (database link) database to server/database and ODBC connections.
Oracle has white papers on Heterogeneous Services (also called generic connectivity) available on metalink.

Version Control Mechanism for MDM
Hi All,
Can anybody please tell me how version control mechanism is used in SAP NW MDM.
Thanks in advance
ChandanHi Chandan,
If you are looking out for maintaining the history of all the Master records, then to the best of my knowledge its not available in MDM. MDM only deals with the latest version of records, however, you can still get back to the old values of records( in data base) , using the change tracking functionlity in MDM.
However, MDM GUI's will show you only the latest updated values.
To know about the change tracking and how it can be integrated with a UI, refer to the link below:

Now, in case you are asking about the ALL VERSIONs feature of MDM, which we use in relation with Check out, then refer to the link below:

In my company, If i developed a program, I have to transport to QAS environment to perform UAT, after the program satisfy, then transport to PRD. The program is when i create a complexity program, will will involved create add-on table, dialog program and so on, then transport QAS to perform UAT, if the program has somethings wrong, I need to modify it in DEV environment. After long long time, many transport requests are created. Then the UAT pass, transport to PRD, since there are many transport request are there, some time, I will forget which transport request should be transported, finally, the program caused runtime error after transport to PRD, because one the request forget transport. I would like how to prevent this issue. Any mechanism should i do or any policy should i use. Thanks!
Hi,
Go to se09, create "Transport of copies".
click on Transport Request and click on button "Include Object".
Click on Radio button "Object list from multiple Request".
Select all request pertaining to your object changes.
Press Merge.
All objects in all request you have mentioned will be merged in one request.
Now, Right click on Transport Request and "Sort and Compress". This will merge all similar object and remove redundant entries. Also this will take care of keeping latest version.

Automatic Transport Mechanism to four systems in same landscape
Hi,
We have come across a requirement where we need to transport a request to four systems instead of traditional three.
The systems involved are - DEV (Development), QAS (Quality), PRD (Production) and TRG Training).
Currently the transport route is setup for three systems and we need to add the fourth one - Training system. The solution we are looking for is once the request is imported in Production it should be imported automatically in Training system, without any manual intervention.
The version being used in ERP 5.0.
Any input in this reagrd is much appreciated.
Regards,
RajeevHi,
You can configure the transport route accordingly
Then Click on the system where you want to schedule the auto import job (Training System ). Once you are in the import queue of that system (Tranining ), click on import all request (Big truck). After choose option - at start time and give a period say from today 7 AM and then choose the period option like (every 15 mins) and save this. It will release a periodic job running every 15 mins in your system with the name TMS_00000000XXTMS_TP_IMPORT. -
What is the transport mechanism in OWB?
Dear all,
We will be using OWB to control the Transportable tablespace process from a "Reporting Mirror" of the E-Business Suite to a Data Warehouse.
The underlying partitions we will be moving are stored on ASM.
Am I correct in thinking that OWB, behind the scenes, will be using the DBMS_FILE_TRANSFER utility to copy the partitions from source to target?
(ftp does appear to be a clear option within OWB but we don't want to use this)
Many thanks,
Barry

Connect as SYS DBA with CONNECT / AS SYSDBA command.
Shutdown the database instance with SHUTDOWN command.
Rename or/and move the datafiles at operating system level.
Start Oracle database in mount state with STARTUP MOUNT command.
Modify the name or location of datafiles in Oracle data dictionary using following command syntax:
ALTER DATABASE RENAME FILE ‘<fully qualified path to original data file name>’ TO ‘<new or original fully qualified path to new or original data file name>’;
Open Oracle database instance completely with ALTER DATABASE OPEN command.
If the datafiles that need to be changed or moved do not belong to SYSTEM tablespaces, and do not contain active rollback segments or temporary segments, there is another workaround that does not require database instance to be shutdown. Instead, only the particular tablespace that contains the date files is taken offline.

Transport Mechanism in SAP Cloud for Customer
Dear All, Do we have a mechanism to move newly created roles in SAP Cloud for Customer, from D?? to Q?? to P?? !? If not, is there an alternative methodology to move security roles Or if nothing exits, do we have a timeline as to when we can expect an alternative solution ? Please share. Thanks raj
Hello Raj,
Instead of recreating the roles, you can use the Migration Templates available. These are excel templates which can be downloaded from the tenant . Under the Activity List in Implementation Projects, you could go to Integrate and Extend and choose Migration of Business Roles to upload this excel. This is a step by step mechanism which will allow you to migrate your business roles instead of recreating each role manually. Pre-requisite of this is that you need to make sure you have scoped the system properly allowing for this.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
We are planning to have a parallel landscape solution of ECC 6.0 for our client.
Existing landscape-- DEV>QA>PRD
Parallel Landscape-- DEV1--QA1
Whatever we design we will transport in the following path:
DEV1-->QA1
Then the objects will be transported from QA1-->DEV
As the transports reach DEV it would follow the existing route:
DEV>QA>PRD
Client has reviewed the proposed parallel landscape solution with their technical architect and would like to understand how we propose to handle the system ownership of transports. Each transport is stamped with the SID of the originating system. Once we move these transports into existing Development, then we will not be able to change the configuration / code of the transport. How do you propose that we can regain ownership of the configuration / code once in the existing landscape?
Proposal given by us to the client:
The ownership of the transports from Parallel/project landscape to existing landscape can be achieved in multiple ways by Basis function; following SAP standard options are generally followed.
Option 1 - Transports from a system originates with SID and owner ship of the user. When we import this transport to another system, selectively Basis can help to modify and regain the owner ship of the particular transport. The prerequisite for this is the old developer should exist in the system.
Option 2 - We can create a new transport and add the imported transport/objects to new transport request to gain the ownership of the objects of the transport.
Is these the correct options??Is there any other way we can maintain the ownership of the transports??Please guide & suggest me.The rekeying (also called dual maintenance) of Business as Usual transports that have reached Production back into your Project landscape, is definitely advisable, as it will ensure that the two landscapes are kept consistent and in sync, and you do not hit unexpected issues when your project cuts over to your BAU landscape that you did not see during Project test phase.
However doing this rekeying manually can be an extremely time-consuming and human-error prone activity, and often introduces new issues and inconsistencies.
As already mentioned by Ashutosh, tools like Transport Express can automate this activity.
TE Merge capability automatically creates new transports for the objects contained in the BAU transports, and puts them into the Project landscape, avoiding the need for developers to do it manually. You can see a demo of how TE’s Agile Multi-track development functionalities can help make your organisation more efficient and avoid the need for manual rekeying on your multi-tier landscape on the BTI website

Can any one explain How transport mechanism happens
explain the concept of Transporting objects or packages from dev to production
Follow this steps in Development server
First login into development server
1)Try to keep all the objects in one folder(say myfolder) under portal content.
2)Now come to system administrator->tranport-> tansport package->export->portal content-> create a new folder
3)Select this new folder right click new transport package-> give the name and id->finish ->and close the transport package.
4)Now open the transport package which u have created just now.(make sure that u r transprt package is opend at right in content area)
5)Now select your folder which contains actual content(i.e iviews,pages,worksets,roles,etc ,, in this case my folder) right click add all objects to tansport package
6)Click on export button
7)Click on start export button
8)Download the export file using downlaod export file link
9)Save on your desktop
Now login into production server or quality server
Now importing the object inot quality server.
1)Go to system administartor->tansport->transport package-> import
2)Source for package file as client. click on browse and and select the .epa file which u have saved on to desktop (i.e from 9 step from above)
3)Click on upload
4)Select content to be overwritten as all and click on import
5)You get a message a import successful.
To check the object are present in your quality server or productin server
Go to the content administartor->portal content and check u r folder

I have a C309g Photosmart Premium All-in-One printer that the paper transport mechanism rumbles
My computer operating system is Windows XP
An error message "Remove Paper Jam" occurs when I am trying to print even when there is no paper in the printer. It also rumbles as it scans a document to the computer but it takes almost 3 times longer than normal to scan. I have checked the printer and duplexer for a paper and they are clean.
Nothing was changed to the computer, printer or operating system.

Best Practice to transport MDM Workflows trough a 3-tier Landscape
Hello Experts,
I wanted to ask you for some Best practices to transport MDM Workflows from D-to Q/P?
Well besides the Archive/Unarchive method because we want to keep the Data of P in the repository
and do not want to import the whole.
Any ideas? Points are for sure!!
Best regards
CarstenHi Carsten,
Currently with the MDM 5.5 version the only transport mechanism that will allow you to export your Workflows from the development server to the Production or Quality is the Archieve/Unarchieve method.
but this methods archives the data as well along with the workflow.There is no such method to exort the workflow alone.
But with the onset of the MDM 7.1 there are new transport mechanism included and hopefully they address this issue.
A work around that i can think of at this moment:
- If you have your development server as your Master rep and the Production server as your slave
- Then you can call the workflow from the D to the P.If you do not have any data presntly in the dev.
- and then Normalize the Productions server to make it an individual master rep with its own data.
I am not sure how well this solution will help but just a suggestion....
Hope It Helped
Thanks & Regards
