[Former Member]

Hi MDMers,

We are having Development and Tetsting servers created for the MDM.

i am able to import the article data automatically through MDIS In the development server environment,but not for the Testing environment.

1.What settings need to be done in MDIS.ini file so that the system starts importing the article data automatically.

2.Do i need to create/copy the emake new mdis.ini file OR make some changes in the same mdis.ini file

Please need some guidance on these gurus..

hi,

if you want to have the same data in testing: follow these steps

1. Export schema from development server,

2. Import the schema in Testing server.

3. here you can use Master/ Slave repository concept.

4. You can create Slave in testing server, if there are any chages in Master repository, you can use Synchronize slave functionality in Console. ( it is faster than a duplicate the repository)

hope this may help you,

Hi Vikrant,

Please check user name and password that you have mentioned in mdis.ini file. It should match with the user and password which you have in MDM repository.MDIS first connects to MDM repository using user id and password in mdis.ini file. If user and password is not correct then it would not import the file automatically.

or you can go with this option also:

just remove the PasswordE=and add as Password=with your encoded password and again start the MDIS service.Just try with it.I hope this will solve your problem.

otherwise you can check with the settings as Alok has mentioned in the earlier thread.

Hi Alok & guys,

Thanks for the reply,

Actually my question was

1.Do i need to copy/create and save new mdis.ini file Or i need to implement the changes as suggested by you in the same mdis.ini file.(as the file currently present oes not show the new server ip,and hence the corresponding reposirtories)

Sorry for any confusions caused.

Hi Vikrant,

You dont have to to create/copy "mdis.ini" files as its updated automatically by system itself. Try restarting your "mdis service" on Testing server.

If problem persists , change existing (same) "mdis.ini" file with following parameters:

[Global]

Version=

Interval=

Server=

Verbose=0x0000

String Resource Dir=C:\PROGRA_2\SAPMDM1.5\IMPORT~1\LangStrings\

Log Dir=C:\PROGRA_2\SAPMDM1.5\IMPORT~1\Logs

SLD Registration=False

[Repository Specific]

Chunk Size=50000

No. Of Chunks Proccessed In Parallel=5

Login=Admin

Password=

Log Protocol Transactions=False

Inter-Chunk Delay MS=10000

Provide details of your repository and specify the user id / password accordingly.

Regards,

Amol.
