Creating and Using Ports Using MDM 5.5 SP 2

[Former Member]

Hi

Does anyone have information on how to utilize this feature?

I have added "Client Systems" & "Ports" in the console.

I configured the "Client System as follows:

Name: SAP

Code: SAP

Client System: Import/Export

Key Generation: None

I configured the Port as follows:

Name; in from SAP

Code; NewPort (automatically generated)

Type: inbound

Data Definition: Flat Text

Client System: MDM

Where do I need to put the file I need to import?

When connecting using the Import Manager I get the following error;

"Login Error: Invalid port "data definition.

Thanks

Charles,

I think the client name you have given is SAP. However while creating the port you are giving the client name as MDM.

Try changing that.

Hi Charles,

yes, I tried it and it works. I am using SP02 Build 5.5.24.04 ...

Now I see the mistake: Currently creating a port is only possible for "import" or "export" client systems (not for "import/export". Change this e.g. to "import" and you will be able to create a "import" port.

This is already reported to SAP Development and is fixed in the next released SP02 Patch.

-BTW--

Using Ports has two mayor advantages:

- Predefined folder structure under the server directory for message exchange with XI

- No need for direct file system access from the machine where Import Manager or Syndicator runs (instead: Connect to port)

Regards

Andreas

Hi Charles,

the configuration of Ports in MDM is part of the MDM 5.5 SP02 Configuration Guide. It is available on service.sap.com/instguides -> SAP NetWeaver -> Release 04 -> Installation -> SAP MDM

Thanks Andreas

I have been using the configuration guide step by step.

Have you succeeded?

It does not seem to work at the moment.
