    Hi Sandeep,
    When you fetched the FieldID from FieldProperties object. There is one more method to this class named FieldProp.getName(). This returns you the Name of the Field. You can store that too if you need it later.

    Can anyone give me clue on this

    Hello Rama:
    Under Java you can do these things:
    Delete key mapping:
    CatalogData.DeleteKeyMapping(ClientSystem : String, Table :
    String, RecordID : int, Keys : String[])
    Argument Description
    ClientSystem -> Client system name
    Table -> Table name
    RecordID -> Record ID
    Keys -> Remote keys to remove
    Set a new keymapping:
    CatalogData.SetKeyMapping(ClientSystem : String, Table :
    String, RecordID : int, Keys : String[], DefaultKeyIndex
    : int)
    Argument Description
    ClientSystem ->    ClientSystem name

  • Does MDM APIs work in CE 7.2 landscape?

    Hello Experts,
    We have a requirement to fetch data from MDM tables and display in WD Java applications. We have to use MDM APIs for that. Our landscape is as follows:
    Portal server is on CE 7.2
    MDM Server version is 7.1 SP05
    Now, the major problem is, in order to establish a connection to repository by MDM API, we need to provide "MDM System Alias" in the code. This alias is for the system of type MDM created in portal system administration --> System Config.
    As far as I know, we need this alias created if we want to establish a connection. But following documentation on help.sap.com says that MDM Business Package isn't supported for CE 7.2 version. And until we deploy MDM BP, system template of type MDM isn't avaialble on portal.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm71/helpdata/en/5e/48a04270600d31e10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm (See the Prerequisites section)
    What should we do in this case? Is it so that MDM APIs are not supported for CE 7.2 version at all? Or is there any other way to achive it?
    Please help me with your valuable inputs.
    Thank You,
    Ameya

    Hello Kanstantsin Chernichenka,
    Thank you very much for the reply. There is no way I can do this in SP 05? or do I have to upgrade to SP7 only? I am not sure if we can upgrade to SP7 that's why I am a bit concerned.
    And it is supported in SP07 means that I can deploy a business package for MDM on CE 7.2, only if MDM SP is 07?

  • Key benefits of using MDM

    Hi,
        I am trying to build a business case as to why a business should go for MDM implementation. Can anyone provide any insight into what are the key business benefits of implementing MDM ?
    Thanks

    Hi GS,
    In addition to above posts
    MDM Implementation basically deals to manage and maintain master data of the any firm/organization.
    The Dis separate and bad data is lying through out your IT landscape. to get a "singel version of truth"  or "360 degree view of your data" you need to implement MDM.
    though many MDM technologies are in market in order to implement. but as far as SAP MDM is concern, it is  the most versatile and beautiful platform over all others
    as it gives you
    Master Data Integration :
    Use MDM remote system extractor to extract customizing data in the initial setup of your MDM system
    Use MDM remote system extractor to automatically extract master data
    Use MDM import mechanisms to load master data from various sources
    Use MDM business content to integrate data
    Use MDM Syndicator to distribute master data to various targets
    Use MDM APIs and Web services to integrate data
    Some of the Operations :
    Data Modeling
    Role-Based Data Access
    Search
    Workflow-enabled Data Creation/Maintenance
    Data Publishing
    Master Data Quality
    Use validations and assignments to check the accuracy and consistency of your master data
    Create more complete and meaningful master data using the MDM Enrichment Architecture
    Create non-redundant and consistent master data using matching and merging capabilities
    I think things are clear for you  as far as MDM Implementation is concern.
    Hope it helps.

  • Attachments using MDM java API

    Hi
    How to store attachments in MDM repository using MDM java API.
    Could you please suggest us.
    Thanks
    Sowmya

    Hi Sowmya,
    You can store attachments using MDM Java API. You can use the following piece of code.
    BinaryBlobRecord record2 = RecordFactory.createEmptyBinaryObjectRecord(tableID);
    //Attachment to be saved
    String filePath = wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_Resource().getUrl(0);
    IWDResource resource = wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_Resource();
    FileInputStream stream = (FileInputStream)resource.read(true);
    int length = 0;
    while(stream.read() != -1)
         length++;
    byte[] b = new byte[(int) length];
    stream.read(b);
    stream.close();
    record.setName(new StringValue("filename"));
    record.setOriginalName(new StringValue("filename"));
    record.setHasOriginal(new BooleanValue(true);
    RetrieveGroupTreeCommand groupTreeCommand = new    RetrieveGroupTreeCommand(wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_ConnectionStr());
    groupTreeCommand.setSession(wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_SessionID());
    groupTreeCommand.setGroupType(GroupTypes.DATA_GROUP_TYPE);
    groupTreeCommand.execute();
    //Set data location and data group ID
    record.setDataLocationId(new GroupNodeId("GN2"));
    record.setDataGroupId(new GroupNodeId("GN2"));
    record.setBinary(new BinaryValue(b));
    CreateRecordCommand createRecComm =
                             new CreateRecordCommand(wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_ConnectionStr());
    createRecComm.setSession(wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_SessionID());
    createRecComm.setRecord(record);
    createRecComm.execute();
    //Link this record to the main table record
    Record QRec = RecordFactory.createEmptyRecord(mainTable);
    //Setting the above created record in main table record object
    QRec.setFieldValue(attachmentField, new LookupValue(record.getId()));
    CreateRecordCommand createRecComm =
                        new CreateRecordCommand(wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_ConnectionStr());
    createRecComm.setSession(wdContext.currentContextElement().getVa_SessionID());
    createRecComm.setRecord(QRec);
    createRecComm.execute();
    Now the main table record is created with an attachment.
    Hope this helps you.

  • How to upload Image to MDM 5.5 SP3 using Java APIs

    Hi,
    I am trying to upload Image to Images table in MDM 5.5 using JAVA API for MDM. But. I'm not able to find particular field in Images table where I need to set the Blob object ( Image data ).
    I'm not aware of the method to set the Blob, there is one for getting the Image data.
    I have gone through I am not able to add images into Catalog thru java API forums posts and tried the code. But with no luck....
    I think this code is for some other MDM version as the fields mentioned are not present in the Images table e.g. DataObject - this field is used in the above posts to set the Blob data but this field does not exist in Images table in MDM 5.5
    Can anyone suggest the solution?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Mausam

    Hi Mausam,
    Please try the following:
    // adding to a image table
    // get the bytes for the image
    byte[] imageBuf = readFile("C:\pic.bmp");
    // setup A2iFields
    fields = new A2iFields();
    fields.Add(new A2iField("DataObject", new
    Value(imageBuf))); // the image binary (required)
    fields.Add(new A2iField("Name", new Value("pic.bmp")));
    // a name for the image
    fields.Add(new A2iField("OrigName", new
    Value("pic.bmp"))); // the original image file name
    (required)
    fields.Add(new A2iField("DataGroupId", new Value(888)));
    // the data group to add to (required)
    fields.Add(new A2iField("OrigLocationId", new
    Value(999))); // the data location of the image
    (required)
    fields.Add(new A2iField("Description", new Value("a
    short description"))); // a short description here
    // add the image
    String imageTable = "Images";
    catalog.AddRecord(imageTable, fields, -1, -1);
    It's taken out of the API guide for SP3 (the example for method AddRecord.

    You can upload images to MDM via the API, but the only way to create thumbnails is via the MDM Data Manager application which uses some embedded libraries to do the work.
