MDM workflow - syndication step

[Former Member]

Dear MDM experts

I would like to ask you about help with workflow step - syndicate.

I just make a workflow which seems to be working fine. There is only one step I do not understand why is not behaving as I expect it. That step is syndicate. I can see the status is "Received" but nothing happen. I cannot find file under syndication folder.

Can you help me to explain why it is like that?

Hi Rafal,

There can be a couple of reasons for that:

1. Syndication port should be manual.

2. The record, which you are trying to syndicate, might not fit your map criteria. Connect to the port in syndicator and try to syndicate the same record and see if you are able to do so.

3. At the time your WF is at syndication step, you are not connected to same port through syndicator.

4. You do not have a descrption for syndication step in WF. (Although it may sound wierd, but it is required iin some MDM versions).

5. Repository password saved in console/mdss.ini might not be correct.

If everything seems fine, check the logs. This will tell you the actual problem.

Best regards,

Dheeraj

HI Rafal,

Apart from checking your MDSS,you should also check syndication map.

If there is no chnage in record and supress unchanged record is Yes,no file will be syndicated.

Also,pls go through this link

Hi Rafel,

Is your MDM Syndication Server Running? Please can you check.

What "Processing Type" you have defined for the Port in MDM Console (Manual/Automatic?). If Automatic then please check the schedule for next syndication.

Kindly revert with your findings.
