MDMGX download to ports as background job without FTP?

[Former Member]

Hello everybody,

is it possible to use MDMGX as a background job to download directly into the mdm ports without FTP?

If I try to download as a local download (in background job) I get the error message: "Cannot open dataset for batch download of file: No such file or directory. Message no. MDM_GX_MSG031"

Any advice?

Regards,

Hello Alex,

As said in the above post MDMGX is used to extract the reference data from ECC. This data can be extracted to the local system as well. You need to specify the FTP server and MDM Root of the system on which the MDM server is Installed, by doing so the data extracted will be placed in the respective folders created under the given root in MDM. PI is not required for this since the output is in the required XML format

Please go through the below link

Hi Axel,

We generally use MDMGX transaction to extract the lookup table data from ECC and we use FTP to post the data into the MDM system.

When we click on Local Download, then the files are extracted from ECC to our own system, but not posted into MDM system.

so we use FTP to paste the required files into the MDM system

So it is not possible to paste the files directly into the MDM system without using the FTP.

I hope this answer has satisfied you.
