MDM Slave repository in Read only mode

[Former Member]

Hello Team,

We have an issue with our MDM 5.0 system, Its clustered with the standard setup as active/passive. If we move the services to passive node, the slave repositories go in to Read only mode. The logs just says,<servername> is in read only mode and our procurement team is not able to make any changes to the catalogue they get a message saying "MDM repository is in Read only mode". Not sure which logs should be referred and what settings in missing in the passive node. The team who implemented this set up is no more with the project.

Could you please help me? May be point where logs can be checked or if someone has faced this issue and solved it?

Thanks,

Hi Bharath,

Are you using MDM 5.5? If so the behavior you described above is the expected one.

Slave repositories are read-only repositories, the only way to change the data is to update it in the master repository and to execute a synchronize operation.

Hi Tal,

Thanks for the reply. Apologies. My mistake. I mentioned it wrongly. Our procurement team tried updating the master repository and not the slave one. That is when they receive the error.

Any ideas?

And yes. Forgot to add. Our MDM is 5.5 indeed.

Hi Shiva,

Since it live system I wont be able to paste it and if I hide the Host name the parameter wont make sense . But I do have a link which is a standard SAP document which gave me the exact parameters that I should use.

For your quick reference I have attached the screen shot taken from the document.

Thanks,
