Use KM ABAP API without XI/PI

Hello KMC Gurus,
I try to use the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/db356ceb-0701-0010-ff8f-af07e78588a0">ABAP API for Knowledge Management and Collaboration</a> from a WebAS ABAP 7.00 (NW2004s). But I'm facing the problem that we don't have XI or now called PI installed. As I've read in OSS Note "883948 - NW 7.0(2004s): Inst.Add.Java Usage Types/Software Units" the Usage Type PI can't be installed afterwards. Is there a possibility to use the KM ABAP API also without XI/PI in place?
Best regards
Gregor

Hi Gregor,
The articel you mentioned above is a preview to the next major release which is not yet available. Unfortunately in NW2004s there is no ABAP API available. But beginning with NW04s, SPS13 there will be at least WebServices available for KM functionailty. You can use them to generate your own Web Service Proxy in ABAP to connect to KM.
best regards,
Martin

Hi,
I have requriment to read data from MDM from FLAT and Lookup table using MDM ABAP API. My design is like this ,
I have one ITEMS (Main table in MDM) and inside that i have one Lookup flat table ITEM_TYPE , my requriment is to read Item number and its related Item type.
From ABAP.
Please help if any body has any idea.

HI Guys,
I found my solution by myself. Below is the solution , hope this will help others:-
Retrieve data from MDM using MDM ABAP API.
Step- 1. Create structure in SAP with the same name as that of MDM field code for MDM Main table.
Step-2. Create another structure in SAP having all lookup fields of MDM , fieldname in ECC must be same as that of MDM field
code.
Step-3.Create structure in SAP for individual lookup field(Single Field only)   with the same name as MDM Field code.
Step-4.

Using java mail api without servlets, I ve sent an html mail. In that Ive specified action to the servlet. On click, it shows url as file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/sirivanig/Local%20Settings/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/Content.IE5/CNFHMDIT/updatemailerform%5B2%5D.htm instead of www.servername.com/....
May I know the reason why it shows like this.
Do I ve to send htmlmail through servlet so that it does show proper url?

Possibly your mailer is restricting your access to URLs to prevent
various scams. Without the details, it's hard to know what's going
wrong.
Have you tried with a different mailer?

Is it possible to use LiveCycle ES APIs without deploying ?

Hi.,
Is it possible to use LiveCycle ES APIs (like form flattening) without deploying it in any application server.
Can live cycle ES only be used with a server ?
Thnks.,

No. Adobe LiveCycle ES services must be run in one of the supported J2EE Application Servers.

Trigger MDM Workflow Using MDM ABAP API

Hi ,
I have requriment to trigger MDM Workflow from ABAP , Please suggest how to do it ?'
Thanks in Advance.
Shyam.

Hi,
Are you creating material in MDM using Data Manager or Portal. or Using ABAP API.
If your workflow trigger Action is "Record Create" then it should trigger workflow as soon as new material is created. I don't see any problem in this.

Matching Strategy by using ABAP API

Hi,
Actually we have a requirement to check the matching strategy by using MDM from R/3 ABAP program by using MDM ABAP APIs.
In our case there would be bulk number customer's comes into R/3, We need to run matching strategy for De-Duplication of customers.
By Using ABAP APIs, Is there any provision to pass Multiple customers at a time to MDM to find Matching records (I know it is possible for one Customer at a time).

Use VirtualBench API without LabVIEW. Example: Python, DLLs, etc.

Hello,
I would like to know if there is a way to use the VirtualBench API without LabVIEW?
Like using python or something.
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

We just released version 1.1 of VirtualBench that adds a C API and a bunch of other features, see http://forums.ni.com/t5/VirtualBench/Announcing-free-firmware-update-version-1-1-adds-SPI-and-I2C/td.... With that you could use VirtualBench in your programming language of choice if you write the appropriate bindings.

ABAP API to store DATE value in MDM 5.5

Hello All,
Currently I am working on MDM 5.5 and need to have some suggestions on ABAP API Function module to store date values in MDM.
We have interface from where we take the user input which updates the field value back in the MDM.
On the basis of similar scenario we have "DATE" field on the interface which will update the date and time in MDM, also we are making use of ABAP API for development.
The problem is that data type mismatch is happening between MDM and ABAP API,please let me know which ABAP API Function module should we use which simply accepts the DATE and TIME for every single record.
Source code provided will be much more appreciable.
Regards,
Swapnil

Hi Swapnil.
In the same link provided by Sudhanshu, can you navigate to the node "Retrieving Complex Types".
It has sample codes and MDM interfaces for TimeStamp, Time Stamp, User Stamp, Literal Date, Literal Time etc.
As suggested, you can also try to use the type MDM_CDT_DATE_TIME.
See the sample code provided in the link as below:
Type: MDM Literal date:
    CLEAR lv_date.
    CONVERT TIME STAMP ls_result_ddic_ex-fieldliteraldate-content TIME ZONE sy-zonlo INTO DATE lv_date.
    WRITE: AT (10) lv_date, '|'.
Type: MDM Literal time:
    CLEAR lv_time.
    CONVERT TIME STAMP ls_result_ddic_ex-fieldliteraltime-content TIME ZONE sy-zonlo INTO TIME lv_time.
    WRITE: AT (10) lv_time, '|'.

ABAP API MDM vs Standard MDM !!!

Maybe the expression that I am using is not the best one and hope that someone can give me any clarifications.
What I am intending is to know:
1)     If using ABAP API is the best way to implement MDM purposes or if hes an alternative to implement MDM using ABAP API?
2)     In the proof of concept that I am implementing, I only use the principal components of MDM (Import, Data Manager, Syndicator and Console) in order to find the solution of our enterprise business.
3)     Using ABAP API, I have to use programming method, implement by myself some functionalities in ABAP to connect and resolve my MDM purposes.
4)     If am not using ABAP API (The way that I am proceeding right now) , I have to use the standard software component (enterprises services ) of the R3 Systems in order to connect MDM with client systems.
Thanks guy for your assistance. We just want to know the best way to proceed with MDM .

The best method for implementing MDM depends on the requirements of each scenario. For example, if you have a program in R/3 that needs to pull some data from MDM for analysis then perhaps using the ABAP API would be the best route to take. If you need to transfer materials or vendors from MDM to various R/3 systems, perhaps using XI would be the best route to take. I would recommend looking at the <a href="https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700004656452006E">IT Scenario Configuration Guide</a> to get a better understanding of SAP's recommended practices given different scenarios

ABAP API Configuration

Hi All,
I am trying to make use of ABAP API from my R/3 system.
but I am not able to see the transaction MDMAPIC and many MDM related interfaces.
what could be the exact problem?
Any Service pack need to be added on normal R/3?
My R/3 system version is 4.7 with kernel patch NW2004 (640) dw patch 139 as per the How to guide.
Even I tried with R/3 5.0 with the same kernel patch.
I had maintained allow.ip at MDM server.
waiting for the reply

Hello,
using the MDM ABAP API requires SAP BASIS 6.40/7.00 and the right Kernel Patch level.
The API is not yet in SAP BASIS. That means it has to be downloaded from service marketplace and installed to the SAP System. After that the configuration will be there and the API is accessible.
Hope that helps.
Best regards,
Daniel
