Unable to use 'Visio Professional 2003' with 'SAP MDM Data Manager 7.1'

[Former Member]

Hello,

I'm currently working with MDM 7.1, and I installed 'Visio Professional 2003 SP2' to build my workflows.

The problem is that:

(1)- As the third pane ('Step Properties') did not appear in Visio when I drag & dropped icons => I executed 'Data Manager' help procedure (p. 301 / 302); cf.: help.sap.com : configuration of file paths in Visio, via 'Tools'>'Options''Advanced', etc.

(2)- After these steps, when I launched Visio again in Data Manager, my menu bar had disappeared in Visio, and I couldn't save my workflow, even with the 'Save' icon.

Does somebody know, or understand, what's happening, please?

Thx a lot for any help,

remi

Hi,

I also faced some issue with Visio. if you check MDM 7.1 Master Guide on page no 22, it mentions MS Visio version as "2003 Standard". So try by using Standard version of Visio and I think it will resolve your problem. I uninstalled visio professional and installated standard version and it worked for me...

Will Data Manager 7.1 be able to use VISIO 2007 in the future, my organization only distributes 2007 and there are a few people who have VISIO 2003 and we do need it to edit workflows and everytime I try to with 2007 it always gives me an error.

Hi Victor,

you should check the error either with your system administrator or SAP. Visio 2007 is already supported and actually working fine for me.

Hi,

As you have already installed MS-VISIO 2003.

Did you install Install Workflow Engine i.e. WorkflowInstall_Ver setup ?

If not please install it and then restart your machine.

Also, Note: Microsoft office Visio 2003 should be Standard edition.

Kindly update if you are still facing any issue..

Thanks and Regards,
