Info about MDM Layout Server

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Can anybody send me the link if possible the detail info of the installation for MDM Layout Server ?

Will it be possible to install on a Windows XP Professional Laptop which has to connect to MDM Server based on unix platform ?

Thanks for your help

Kind regards,

Hi,

This is very interesting question and logically speaking you should connect to layout server this is where the concept of Platform Independent comes into picture.

You can also relate this with the MDM Server on Unix platform but can be accessed from the GUI clients i.e. windows platform.

Hi Jitesh,

Thanks for your reply.

For MDM 5.5 SP06 release, we have installed on unix platform for MDM Server/Import Server/Syndicator Server. As the MDMSP06 Installation Guide mentioned that the Layout Server is a seperate program that runs as a Windows Services, I guess that it would be also possible to install MDM 5.5 SP06 Layout Server based on Windows XP pro which has all the MDM Guis installed, am I right here ?

Thanks again for your help

Kind regards,

Hi,

MDM Layout Server is used along MDM Publisher and Publisher is a part of GUI Clients that is to be installed on Windows only hence you should install Layout server on Windows and it should communicate with MDM Server installed on Unix platform.

Hi Jitesh,

Thanks for your information.

I did try to install MDM Layout Server on my Windows XP professional Laptop with Publisher Gui.

And I could see that the services of the Layout Server has also been started.

When I opened Publish Gui and trying to connect to MDM Layout Sever, there were coming up with below error messages:

-

---

Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library

Runtime Error !

Program: c:\Program_1\SAPMDM1.5\Layout~1\mdls.exe

R6025

- Pure virtual function call

-

---

Could you or anybody help to let me know what this message means?

I am now using MDM 5.5 SP06 on version 5.5.64.84 for MDM Server on unix platform.

Thanks very much for your help
