Java API for MDM SP06 patch 2

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I am currently using the MDM version 5.5 SP06 patch 2.

I want to know which are the java APIs compatible with my MDM version?

Can I use the MDM4J Jar files or are there any upgraded version for the MDM SP06 version onwards.

Also let me know that are the Jar files also patch dependent or just the same Jar files can be used for all the patches?

Please share the links for installation of jar files compatible with my version of MDM.

Thanks and Regards,

Sravan Velamury.

Hi,

From MDM 5.0 onwards MDM JAVA API is getting changed, now new API versions are released;

If you are using MDM 5.5 SP02 , you need to use the following jar files;

The new API consists of five JAR files and also with another Extension API (mdm-extension.jar);

● mdm-admin.jar

● mdm-common.jar

● mdm-core.jar

● mdm-data.jar

● mdm-protocol.jar

● mdm-extension.jar (extension layer only)

For MDM Version 5.5 SP02 , MDM4j is not needed;

The MDM4J API functions are limited to those dealing with the repository content while the new MDM Java API is more comprehensive and is designed with a more flexible architecture. Its command-oriented approach offers a broad set of functions covering data and repository management as well as MDM Server administration.

And

Any customer with a valid license is entitled to download the API from the SAP Service Marketplace as follows:

1. Directly navigate to the SAP Software Distribution Center (SWDC) with your browser using the URL http://service.sap.com/swdc.

You need a valid SAP Service Marketplace User ID (S-User) to log on.

2. Then follow the path Download u2192 Support Packages and Patches u2192 Entry by Application Group u2192 SAP NetWeaver u2192 SAP MDMu2192 SAP MDM 5.5 u2192 Java API.

Hi Saravan,

MDM Java API jar files are version specific to MDM Version.

You can download version specific jar files also from service market place in the following link.

MDM4J can be used for SP06 version but these jar files are depricated, It is recommended to use new MDM Java API

Hi shruti,

Kindly help me find the exact JAVA API that I have to use in my application to work with my MDM server (MDM 5.5 SP06 patch 2 and built 5.5.62.33).

Please provide me the exact link to download the compatible JAVA APIs.

Hi Shruti,

i have followed the link but i found the APIs for MDM 5.5 SP06 Java API Patch03 HF17(Build 5.5.63.91) and MDM 5.5 SP06 Patch04 - Java API (Build 5.5.64.71).

However mine is SP06 patch 2.

Will those APIs which I found will work for my version of MDM?

If not from where do i get the relevant JAVA API's? I do not wnt to upgrade my MDM server as of now.

Thanks and Regards,
