How to get the sample repository data of over 6000 records for products

[Former Member]

Hi,

I have MDM installed and ready to use with the standard 9 repositories provided by SAP. I was wondering if I can get the unarchive .a2a file with the sample data of records (I think over 6000 records) for the Products repository. I have tried to bring in the two .a2a product files that I have, but it was giving version inconsistent errors. How do and where do I get the real sample data (not the one we can create in data manager) correct version provided by SAP, so that I can get my hands on SAP data manager funtionality.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Navin,

Business Content archives that are provided by SAP for MDM do not come with the sample data.

In the bsuiness content ,if you unzip the file you will see the a2a archive of the rep as provided by SAP and the import /export maps and the lookup data file.

There is no main records that SAP provide with the sap content it is basically the data modell that SAP provides so that the foundation is set for you and you can now import and work with the data.

However if you wish to use the demo repository or the training rep from Inquera then you will same some sample data already loaded in MDM rep to work upon.

Regarding the version problem

Check the MDM version of the business content rep with the MDM server you are using .They have to match to work correctly.

You can work with a lower archives of the rep(say SP04) with an Upgraded MDM server (say SP06) by using the Update Repository option in the context menu of the MDM server in Console.

But the vice versa is not possible.

Check you MDM server version by clicking on the MDM server and see its details in the right side record detail pane.

To know more on the demo and Inquera rep kinldy view the below links:

Hope It Helped

Hi,

Can u please elaborate what version error are you getting?

For eg:If the demo repository is of Sp04 and ur MDMserver is of SP06 then u can use the same a2a file upgrading it.Once u unarchive it ,u see a grey square.This tells u abt version mismatch.Right Click-Update Repository.

You can refer the demo repositories at
