Web Catalog Publishing using MDM RPCM scenario

Hi Experts
Is it possible to do web catalog publishing using MDM Publisher or Publisher APIs? if yes, where can i get the information on how to proceed with it?
I came across this[thread|Re: Web Catalog Publishing]
where Markus has stated that web catalog publishing is possible with java APIs and SAP is having plans to include that functionality in Publisher tool as well, in its future releases.
I couldnu2019t find any straightforward answer for my question either in MDM Java docs or in Publisher guide.
Thanks in advance
SwarnaDeepika

Thank you Markus for the prompt reply.
The link was very helpful. The line
To build dynamic Web sites with complex MDM data layouts
was what i was looking for.
So using the publishing APIs MDM data can be sent through to a web site which acts as a online catalog, can you please confirm?
Can these APIs be used to expose the catalog using enterprise portal as well, instead of a normal website (just like how its done in SRM-MDM catalog)?
P.S: Kindly bear with me, if my questions are silly. An expert's opinion is all i need

SRM product category contract using MDM retrurns contract with item 0

We are using SRM 5 with MDM catalog 7.1 using Ext classic scenario.
We've created more than 1 SRM contract for the same product category in SRM, eg. 2 contracts both for prod category STATIONERY with 2 different vendors (eg. vendor 1213, contract 44000330 item 1 and vendor 2456 contract 44000999 item 1). In the MDM catalog we reference 1 of these contracts/items, eg vendor 1213, contract 44000330 item 1.
When we select this item from MDM catalog it pulls in the vendor and the contract number, eg vendor 1213, contract 44000330, but the contract item is shown as item 0 (contract 44000330 / 0).
If however, we have only one contract for a product category, eg. TRAINING and we enter this contract/item in MDM, when we select that item from the catalog it copies the vendor and the contract along with the correct contract item number, eg. contract 44000661 / 1.
Any ideas why it is doing this? Cannot find any SAP notes or other postings on SDN with this problem.
Thanks
Neil

Thanks.
The issue is when we have more than one contract for the same product category. Both or only one of those contracts might be assigned to items in the MDM catalog. The catalog has the correct contract, AND the correct item number against the catalog item.eg. contract 123456 / item 1
If there is only one contract then there is no problem and the correct contract AND item number is copied back into the shopping cart, eg. 123456 / 1. Only when there is more than one contract for the product category does MDM pass back contract item 0 eg. 123456 / 0
We're not loading via XI. We're loading from a spreadsheet.
Any more ideas?
Thanks

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.

Architecture of Product Catalog Publishing

Hello CRM Experts,
I've created a product catalog in CRM 7. I'm using the CRM Webclient to create my sales documents. I thought that the catalog would be available in the Webclient but that is not the case for me. When I go to the webclient I don't see my catalog.
We're using the CRM 7.0 system in standalone mode.
While reading the documentation I ran across this document which lists the requirements for integrating the product catalog from CRM 7 to the Webclient
[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm70/helpdata/en/1c/12b2dc57d644d19ea3a5c4156f904f/frameset.htm]
A few questions arose after I read this. I'm hoping you can help me with some of the details (the text in italics comes from the documentation referenced above).
You have set up a Java based CRM Product Catalog. For more information, see Creation of Product Catalogs. I'm assuming that this is referring to the regular product catalog I've setup in CRM 7.0. Why does it say "Java Based" ?
You have set up a Web shop running on a Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE) server. For more information about the configuration of the Web shop, see SAP Solution Manager Do you know where I should look in Solution Manager? What if I'm using CRM 7.0 in standalone mode. Solution Manager is not involved. I'm working on a sandbox environment
You have configured the Extended Configuration Management (XCM) settings. For more information about Extended Configuration Management (XCM) for Web Channel, see SAP Solution Manager. Do you know where I should look in Solution Manager? What if I'm using CRM 7.0 in standalone mode. Solution Manager is not involved. I'm working on a sandbox environment
You have assigned the user to a business role. The following table explains the technical names for each business role in the standard implementation: My role has Sales Professional role. I'm assuming that should suffice.
I'd appreciate your inputs.
Thanks

For E-Commerce with CRM, (Web Channel - E-Selling) Product Catalog is a mandatory component. CRM Web Channel provides the required User Interface for the CRM Product Catalog. For the functioning of Product Catalog in CRM, TREX is mandatory. While the Product catalog definition and product master data still remains in the CRM backend, the TREX (Index server) is used to keep the product id and some pertinent chracteristics / attributes of the product in indices, thus making the product search as a "offline" task and searches are much faster without any load to the backend system.
E-Commerce with ERP (R/3 backend) provides Product Catalog feature - but has two solutions, one search with TREX and the other without TREX. Product search without TREX are run in the R/3 backend. Unfortuntely there is no such solution with CRM.
Well, now coming to using Product Catalog with Web UI (Interaction Center), you need the Product Catalog in CRM, and hence TREX. Hope this explains.
Now, ask the Basis team to please read the [Installation Guide|https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/crm-inst] and [Master Guide|https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/002007974700000372592008E/50089607_A4_CRM70SR1_130.pdf].
Here is the exerpt from [CRM Master Guide|https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/002007974700000372592008E/50089607_A4_CRM70SR1_130.pdf] for quick reference by your so busy Basis team.
3.7.2 Catalog Management in CRM
Description
You use this business scenario to create a centralized product catalog that contains product
descriptions, multimedia displays, pricing, and associated literature. The catalog enables quick
and easy customer access to timely and personalized product information. Product catalogs are
implemented in sales processes and are of particular importance in CRM Web Channel for presenting
your products in the Web shop.
Software Units
The following software units are required for the Catalog Management in CRM scenario:
Mandatory:
1. CRM Application Server ABAP
2. CRM Application Server Java
3. SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Search and Classification (TREX 7.0)
In the current context, there is no immediate option for 3rd party solutions.

Application Web Catalog on linux machines.

When tried to have Application Web Catalog on Linux machines like Cent-OS 6.3 and Ubuntu 12.04 thorugh firefox, It is asking for Silverlight to be installed. The Windows machines controlled by the same SCCM servers, are able to access the web catalog using
Silverlight 5.0.
For firefox on Linux, the latest available Silverlight is 4.0. Web catalog is not working with this version of Silverlight.
Is there any work-around to have Application Web Catalog on Linux Machines?

As additional context, the design point for the Linux and UNIX capabilities in ConfigMgr is specifically for servers, not desktops. Our thinking is that in a server-only scenario, user targeted policies don't really make any sense, and the
Application Catalog doesn't really make any sense, as there isn't a "user" logged in to the console to interact with the catalog.
If you have additional input on this topic, I'd be happy to hear it. You can contact me offline at username mikelley with the usual "at" microsoft.com.

Hi,
maybe you should see the settings for the ServicesRegistrySiService too. Under nwa->SOA.
I am not sure, but the error seems like not able to use the ServicesRegistrySiPort, which is to be authenticated against.
It is then used for retrieval of web services and publishing to the registry... i suppose.
I am not sure though.
Best regards,
Vera

R/3 u2013 XI u2013 MDM integration scenario - Standard import Maps problem

Hi Data Masters,
We are working on R/3 u2013 XI u2013 MDM integration scenario for Vendor Object. We have extracted main table Data using u201CMDM_CLNT_EXTRu201D program. Now while importing the data in MDM we want to use u201CStandard business content i.e. Standard Import Maps (Name u2013 cremdm - 03 u201D but this maps are not mapping all the fields. So do we need to extend this maps..??
OK. Second, To create own maps we are facing following problems,
1) In source section many fields are reflecting twice means in two segments i.e. LFA1 and ADRMAS like Name, City, Street, country etcu2026 whereas in Target section we have one field for the same so how to maps this fields.
2) In source, There are few fields like ADRNR which have values but in target we donot have any fields to map for the same, so how to handle thisu2026
Helpful answers will be rewarded,

Issue with - Consume Web Services in a Messaging Only Scenario

Hello,
I am trying to consume a Oracle - SOA web service in BizTalk.
1. I followed the below MSDN post,
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa560545%28v=bts.70%29.aspx
but I am getting "The custom tool 'BtsDiscoCodeGenerator' failed." error.
2. Tried another approach like the below blog
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/amantaras/archive/2010/03/03/consuming-a-web-service-in-a-non-orchestration-scenario.aspx
In this case, I am getting this error
"A message sent to adapter "SOAP" on send port "xxx" with URI "<<WSDL>>" is suspended.
Error details: Failed to serialize the message part "ProcessPOAck1" into the type "ProcessPOAckType" using namespace "xxx". Please ensure that the message part stream is created properly. "
I made sure there are no data type errors... I have copied the message to SoapUI and tested successfully. The message (output from BizTalk map) does not have soap envelop though. I had to copy
the message in
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" <<some name spaces>>
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
tags to submit a request successfully.
Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Venkat.

Why are you using the SOAP adapter instead of the WCF Adapter? I think the only way to do that would be with some fairly heavy custom pipeline components.
Using the WCF Adapter, this is very easy - you just need to subscribe to the result message from the web service call - not a big deal, just play with the promoted properties and see what you have; normally SPName. This can be sent to a file location
with Overwrite set so that you never run out of disk space (if you don't care about the content response).

Need to get catalog item from MDM of a specific supplier

Hi gurus,
i need to get the list of catalog item from MDM of a specific supplier,
user will give the supplier and i need to bring the list of the catalog item
that belong to the supplier that the user gave me,
through abap.
is anyone can help me with wich class+method do i need to use if i have the supplier name or id?
thanks in advanced,
dana.
Edited by: dana leving on Jan 10, 2011 3:59 PM

Hi Dana.
You can achieve this through MDM Webservices.
1. Create a MDM Webservice
2. Configure the tables and list the list of fields which you want to retrieve
3. You can specify the search criteria as well(supplier=XXX)
4. Generate it and save it
You can deploy the application in your landscape and call this webservice from your custom application to create shopping cart.
The below link will give you an insight of MDM Webservices.

CCM 2.0 Catalog to SRM-MDM 3.0 Catalog during SRM 7.0 upgrade

Hi,
We are upgrading our existing SRM 5.0 system to SRM 7.0 and we are planning to deploy SRM-MDM 3.0 Catalog as it is more flexible & SAP is not going to support CCM 2.0 Catalog after 2013. Please let me know the upgrade steps/plan to upgrade CCM 2.0 to SRM-MDM 3.0 catalog. As per my understanding, there is no tool/method available to upgrade from CCM 2.0 to SRM-MDM 3.0 catalog available. We need to build it from scratch i.e maintain SAP supplied MDM repository, upload data from SRM/ERP, upload suppliers catalog etc.
Thanks,
AS

Hi,
I have migrated CCM to SRM-MDM Catalog.
Steps are
- Install SRM-MDM Catalog
- Adjust Repository if you have custom fields
- Import contents
- Adjust view
Migration itself is not difficult but you need to learn how to use MDM client tools.
The SRM270 class room training is good one.

Web Service consumer using ABAP-PROXY

Hello,
I want to test Web Service consumer using ABAP-PROXY . So I do what is explain in the weblog :
[http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/WebServiceconsumerusingABAP-PROXY]
But when I execute the programm, the message : 'No valid source context supplied'.
But, proxy and port are ok and activate.
Can you help me.
Thanks.

Hi Jitesh,
Thanks for the link. I checked but did not find helpful info there.
I have managed to make it work yesterday. Two issues were identified.
1. The namespace in the WSDL file imported into ESR as an external definition. I need to create the same namespace in ESR before importing the WSDL and then import the WSDL into that namespace.
2. The authentication method. The authentication method in the IIS configuration of the .NET web service has to be set to Basic Authentication. Then I set logical port of the consumer proxy in the OSAMANAGER to use Basic Authentication also. So far only the Basic Authentication works in my test scenario.
I am closing this question.

Jiannan
