Error with field hyperlink, triggered when clicking item details
Hi SDN,
we are running SRM-MDM 2.0 SP04 PL11.
I have created a repository which uses the hyperlink lookup table to add a link to a pdf file for the particluar item. In the hyperlinks table I created one type "Link".
From my Excel import I map URL against URL<Hyperlink> and URL-Type against Hyperlink (LookUp Table). Works fine so far. So when clicking on my pdf file-link -- looks like this:
mdmserver\folder\2000123.pdf I get a new window displaying the pdf in adobe acrobat reader. Nice so far - but this is no http link but a link to a share or shared folder in the file system. So it is merely a file-link - no web http ftp or thelike link.
I get a follow on error which should not have to do anything with this, but the error text tells so.
Just to make things clear - if after a successful search, I have a data entry in the mdm list view with 2 hyperlinks - one leads to my pdf, the other to item-details.
As I could not find out how to avoid the link to item-details (link is on short description, but I don't need it...) I get an error, when clicking on short description - error text is this:
The initial exception that caused the request to fail, was:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.services.exceptions.InvalidUrlRuntimeException: Invalid URL=file:
mymdmserver\folder\2000123.pdf
In fact, if I write in data manager eg http://www.cool.de to the URL field, then I don't get an error when clicking item details. Can somebody tell either how to avoid the details link (didn't find anything in the config web UI tool), or
how to avoid this error anyway...
One bonus question but not as important: Is there a way to change the column name "hyperlink" on the web UI? I'd rather have "Preview" instead. But I can't find tools or ways to change this. Not in the config web UI, neither in the
console - there we have the label "Hyperlink" only in the item details in the lower right corner. But this seems to be the label which the web UI uses.
kind regards, matthias

MDG-F 7.0 Difference of Import/Export Master Data and File Upload/Unload
Hello all,
On MDG-F main selection screen, there is a function called File Upload. Separately, there is another function called Import of Master Data.
Would there be any big difference between these two function? I think that file upload function has enough capability to load financial master records in MDG-F especially with diffferent upload modes SAP offered. Then in which instance, should I use Import of Master Data?
Thanks,

Problems syndicating Vendor from MDM5.5 to BI via XI
Hello colleagues:
So far I've been succesful when syndicating products from MDM 5.5 Material repository to SAP BW 3.5 using XI 3.0. We are using the standard business content for BW in BW as well as in XI, and the standard GenericProduct MAP. I've achieved this solution by means of implementing all the steps described in document MDM553_ConfigGuide_V4.pdf in the "BI Integration" section.
Now, we would like to implement the same solution for syndicating vendors to BI. I've followed the same steps as for the material syndication.
However, when I try to syndicate even very few vendors I get a "syndication failed" message, and no XML file is generated. If I go to the XML Preview window, I get an "Out of Memory" error.
I've already loaded the XSD schema file which was extracted from the XI business content, and tweaked it as described in the Config Guide Documentation. I'm trying to use de syndication map that comes with the MDM SP3 distribution for generic vendor.
So far, we have a bit over 40,000 vendors in the repository.
Please, any hints will be kindly apreciated.
Difference between Consolidation, Harmonization and Central master data man
Hi ..Expertise
Consolidation is use to identify duplicate records and merge them into one record.
Harmonization is the process of pushing the new cleansed data back out to your partner systems.
Central master data management means you create records within MDM and then you distribute (Syndicate) this centrally created data to your Remote Systems.
My Question is her after Consolidation both Harmonization and Central master data management is doing the same thing i.e. sending the clean data to the other system. What is the difference between these two? Please explain me with an example or scenario..
2 MDG issues !
Hi Everyone,
I am new to MDG and i have started supporting MDG with no training ( only read few documents) and so i am struggling to understand the requirements. i would like your help for the below 2 issues#. please check and suggest.
Please provide your suggestions in detail, thanks in advance. Highly appreciated.
Issue # 1
"a mass change is needed on Warehouse Responsible (partner function ZW) for the attached SB partners from Sales Organization S060.
Current personnel number 100012 (#name##) must be changed into new personnel 110102 (#name#)."
a file of 530 lines is provided which contains details like below
Customer | Sales Organization | Partner Function | Personnel Number | Name | New Personnel Number | Name |
2121 | S060 | ZW | 100012 | name 1 | 110102 | name2 |
please suggest how to approach this (upload the data or change the data and where/how ).
Issue # 2
"supplier 106398 was created for A070 (UK branch) and A110 (UK Plant). I have changed some sensitive data like bank details requiring an approval.
I would expect flow to ask approval from Charlie (approver of A070) which is ok but also from Chris (approver of A110). People that are actually required to approve the change by system are:
GB10229 BILAL KHAN
GB11646 VANESSA STICKWOOD
GB24242 CHARLIE HORROCKS (ok!)
1. do the first 2 people have authorizations to approve suppliers? if yes for which purchasing org./group?
2. why Chris is not in the list of approvers? He should be....
In one of our latest improvements of the system workflow has been modified in order to manage suppliers created for different purchasing organizations/purch.groups. In this case, approvals should be required from APPROVERS of all purchasing organizations involved."
please suggest.
Thanks in Advance.
Give access at entity level
Hi All,
We are using MDG 7.0 for our Customer & Vendor implementation. We have created our own custom parallel rule based workflow since our design requirement is different than the default workflow which is available with MDG activation.
In our workflow once the central Customer data is approved, the flow is split into parallel tasks of Company Code Data approver & Sales Org data approver. These approvers can also edit data. Now I have two below requirements:
- The Company Code data approver should have edit access only to Company code entity and they should be able to only view other details. Similarly the Sales Org data approver should have edit access only to Sales Org entity. How can this be achieved?
2. In a parallel workflow if any one of the task is "rejected/Send for revision" then how can we complete/invalidate the other parallel tasks automatically and the workflow has to be routed back to requestor?
This feature is available in the default parallel workflow given by SAP for Change Supplier.
Let me know if more details are required.
Regards,
Ashwin

Custom Change Request Selection for Customer/Supplier Update
Hi experts,
Anyone knows how is possible to display the change request selector popup when starting a Customer/Supplier/BP update?
For MDG-C and S I only have this popup when is related to creation process. When is a update the standard change request is considered for the process.
Screen on creating a customer
What I need is the same screen when starting an update process, because I will need to specify a Z change request type. Anyone knows if this can be made with some configuration?
Kind Regards,

Syndication Map mapping
MDGF 7.0 Value Mapping documentation
Hi,
We have a business scenario, where Chart of Accounts from MDG Hub need to be replicated to multiple target systems with system specific value.
Eg: ABC (MDG HUB) need to transformed as 123 (system 1) and XYZ (system 2). Also same is the requirment for Company Code (BUKRS).
In MDGV_ELEMENT table we did not find an entry for Char of Account (KTOPL). However we have for BUKRS. We did maintain Sytem specific configuration, but thats not being trigerred in GL IDOC Outbound implementation. Within the Class there is no refernce to Value mapping logic. All we see is Key mapping for (COA+GL) & (COA+COMP cod+GL) and Trading Partner (COMPANY).
I did not find any SAP documenation on Value / Key mapping for MDGF. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Saran.
Data Replication Model DIRECTLY
Hi
I am creating CCH with collective processing in MDG and it is activated also.
But in replication from SLG1 log it seems that it will try to use Replication Model DIRECTLY which does not exists at all.
Replication model DIRECTLY is not stored or inactive in customizing
Also it tries to use SOA as replication method whereas I defined IDOC as replication method
(Change request 000000000136 uses services for replication: full replication only)
Is missing something?
MDG Filter on BAdI Implementation
We have MDG-F in production and use a custom Z implementation of USMD_WF_AGENT BAdI. Enhancement Spot = USMD_WF_AGENT.
We are now activating MDG-C and it is using another implementation of the BAdI (MDG_BS_CUST_WF_AGENT_ERP). The customer implementation came in with a filter. Filter is MDGC_ERP = AGENT_FILTER.
Our problem is that the MDG-F Z implementation does not have a filter and it is getting picked up by default for both MDG-F and MDG-C.
I've been doing some research, but cannot figure out what/where this value would get sent. I wondered if "MDGF_ERP = AGENT_FILTER" would work, but tested and it does not.
We are using "other MDG workflows" for MDG-F.
Can anyone point me in right direction?
Thanks,
Keith

DATA MODEL 0G Cutom
Hi ,
As a standard data model 0G does not contain activity type.
So since we need to add activity type to our Standard DM 0G,
Do we have to extend it by adding new entity types or do we have to create attributes in the given standard entity types??
Thanks

MDG on own server
Hi everyone!
We try to start a new project which include MDG and HANA.
So, we will deploy MDG as a standalone system on own server. And we have a couple questions. I hope that you can help us, guys:
1. When we deploy MDG on top of an opertional ERP we have 4 configured scenarios (MDG-S, MDG-C, MDG-F, MDG-M). What we have in case of standalone system on own server?
2. By what technology we can connect MDG and databases of ERP or HANA?
3. Maybe, do you know where configuration guide for MDG (as a standalone system) exists?
Thank you for your time and help!

Maintain Classification Information in MDG-M without passing it over to MM
Hi Gurus,
I've a new requirement from business. We want to maintain Classification information in MDG but don't want it to be pushed to MM.
Is it feasible to do so - considering Classification info is a Type - 4 entity in MDG and necessary data structures (tables KLAH, KSSK) are not present.
Where exactly it stores the classification information when material masters / requests are created ? I could not follow -
The master data of this storage and use type can be changed in Master Data Governance only with a change request of an entity type with storage and use type 1. The entity type needs to be in a relationship with the relationship type leading and assigned as the To-entity type to an entity type with storage and use type 1. The system generates the check table as described for storage and use type 1, but also generates the entity types that are assigned through qualifying relationships as key fields. The system does not generate a text table, attachments, or sets since entity texts are not allowed for entity types with this storage and use type.
Thank you in advance for your valuable inputs.
