I'm trying to save a object to the table Binary_Objects, but I get the error: "com.sap.mdm.internal.protocol.manual.ServerException: Server error (0xffaab000)"

I assume you are trying to create a BinaryBlobRecord in the Binary_Object Table.

Here is some code that works:

BinaryBlobRecord record = RecordFactory.createEmptyBinaryObjectRecord(tableId);

record.setBinary(new BinaryValue(bytes));

record.setDataSize(new IntegerValue(size));

record.setHasOriginal(new BooleanValue(true));

record.setDataGroupId(node.getId()); // get the node using RetrieveGroupTreeCommand command.

record.setSource(new LookupValue(new RecordId(1))); // see below

record.setCode(name); // The code has to be unique, so you can add a random number to the name.

record.setName(new StringValue(name))

CreateRecordCommand createRecordCommand = new CreateRecordCommand(connection);

createRecordCommand.setSession(authenticatedUserSession);

createRecordCommand.setRecord(record);

createRecordCommand.execute();

• If you don't set the source properly , you will get that error. For setSource method, you need to set a Location ID. With API 5.5 SP5, most likely there is no way to create a new location ID and we have to use one of the existing Location IDs. Just to make the code work, I used "new LookupValue(new RecordId(1)) ", which requires having at least one file uploaded to the table via MDM Data manager and use the first part of its location ID.

• For setDataGroupID, first create the group node in the MDM Data Manager and find the node in the GroupTree with API. To get the GroupTree, use RetrieveGroupTreeCommand.
