Can't add new image field in SRM MDM catalog

[Former Member]

Dear Experts

I have added a new lookup[image] field in Catalog Item table.

The problem is I cant find it in my

MDM_SRM_UI_App>Customize Display tab>SRM-MDM Repository fields list

Can't we add custom fields to repository?

I also read this SAP Note 1028343 (Changes in repository not reflected in Catalog UI)

where it is said to restart the mdm connector for the changes to take place.

However the note is quite old. Is it still applicable?

Please share your ideas.

Thank you.

Hi SwarnaDeepika

There is already Images and PDF lookup available for each record in Catalog items table. I am not sure how we can create a new images lookup

The below links explain the transport configuration process, this may help you identify custom fields in SRM-MDM Repository Fields list

Hi Goutham

I need to add a another lookup[image] field in addition to the existing one. I've added it but I'm not able to make it display in my SRM catalog UI.

Can you suggest what might be wrong?

I went through your links and they only talk about catalog preview and custom field OCI mapping.

Hi Swarna,

We faced this problem long back. Restarting java AS resolved the issue. I think SAP Note 1028343 is still valid. Restarting Java AS will automatically restart the MDM Connector..

Did you restart Java AS on which your Catalog UI application is deployed? If not, then Please try by doing so and let us know the result.
