Yes in console--> help if you see like this 7.1.00.75 it means MDM 7.1 SP 00 Patch 75.

Hi Veena

You can download the files from service market place.

For steps on installation/upgrade please refer to te MDM 7.1 installation guide.

Unlike MDM 5.5, MDM 7.1 installation is done via universal Installer SAPInst.exe which is a separate GUI and this can be also downloaded from SMP.

Below thread is on similar topic, should help you-

Hope this helps-Ravi

Hi Veena.

Just to add to that, you need a partner/customer id to download the files from the service market place. (http://service.sap.com)

@Deepak, Mandeep:

The 7.1.XX.YY represents

7.1 is the NW MDM Core Version

XX is the Service pack version

YY is usually called as build version.

Hey Deepak,

Your statement is true upto Service Pack but not for patch.

For example, I am working on MDM 7.1.04.146, which is MDM 7.1 SP04 Patch 20. So, 146 does not mean that it is patch 146; to be more clear, 146 is the Build version.

Please let me know your comments.

Best Regards,

Shiv

Shiv,

Please throw some point as in if I want to know about patch where exactly I can go for .??

Here in standered business content if it comes like Customer 55420.

it means MDM 5.5 SP 04 patch 20 . correct me if I am wrong.

Hey Deepak,

We were talking about version of MDM and its Components. So, please do not mix version strategy of MDM business content with MDM Version strategy.

Your statement could be correct for naming of MDM business content, but was not correct for identifying MDM Clients version.

Hi Bala,

The 7.1.XX.YY represents

YY is usually called as build version.

This is not true, YY is not called Build. Build is complete (7.1.XX.YY).

This is related to patches(hotfix) which provides bug fixing information. Patches deliver high-priority bug fixes. Deploying a Patch will not require a repository upgrade and may be applied to individual components. Patches may be backed out to an earlier Patch within the same Patch level. Software components from the same Patch will generally work together. In special cases, software components from a later Patch will require some software components to be at a minimum Patch in order to work together properly.

All components within the same SP level (e.g. 7.1.03.YY) are compatible. For example, if there was a fix in MDM Import Server (MDIS) there is no need to upgrade the MDM server, or any other component.

For more information please refer SAP Notes:

Note 1481741 - MDM Patch (hotfix) process information

Note 1345858 - Collaboration of MDM 7.1 ver. - Software Versioning Strategy

Hi,

Use below path to download MDM 7.1 latest patches:

Support Packages and Patches --> Entry by Application Group -->
 SAP NetWeaver and complementary products -->
 SAP MDM --> SAP NETWEAVER MDM 7.1

Hope this solves your problem.. Kindly revert if any further question.

Hello Veena,

Console help will show console version, not the MDM server's version.

The exact version of MDM server can be viewed by executing MDS.exe file on MDM server.

Installed console can have different version than MDM server.

Thanks,

Shaailesh.

Hi Shiv,

I could navigate to this path.......

SMP--> Support Packages and Patches --> Entry by Application Group -->

SAP NetWeaver and complementary products -->

Not able to see the below MDM navagational path below.

SAP MDM --> SAP NETWEAVER MDM 7.1

do you think something is wrong with my access ? or any different path?

Thnx,

Ve

Hi Veena,

If you are not able to see the link SAP MDM that means your ID doesn't have sufficient rights to download the MDM installables.

Check with Super user who has complete rights to download MDM Installables.

Please find similar thread with same issue.

Kindly mark thread as answered if this solves your query.

Hi Veena,

Current MDM version available is MDM 7.1 SP05.

Scheduled upcoming MDM version as per my understanding would be MDM 7.2 not MDM 7.3

In console help, you can check the build number of MDM.

1st four characters tells about the version and Support package and last three letters are not exactly Patch.

It means that you are on MDM 7.1 SP00

Yes, you can download it from Service Market Place if you have access and right to download MDM.

Please refer similar thread to check path to download MDM :

Also check this link where you can get everything about MDM 7.1, Please refer MDM upgrade guide which you need to follow. https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/installMDM71

@ Deepak, See i am using MDM Server Build (7.1.03.69) that does not mean i am using Patch 69,

You can check [SAP Note 1425021|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1425021] where Patch is 19 not 69
