Passing Search Parameter to SRM-MDM Through the URL

[Former Member]

Greeting all,

I would like to know how I can pass a search parameter to SRM-MDM using the URL in the web browser. This is needed to display the result directly instead of listing the whole catalog contents.

I am trying to pass a search parameter (Text string) to the catalog through an R/3 SAP system. As a result, it should give only the material that I am looking for.

I tried the "Background Search" as described in the OCI-specification paper but still couldn't get it!

By using the parameters mentioned in chapter 3.2.4 of OCI-specification paper, I did the recommended configuration and use the following URL but still failed to pass the parameter: http://....&FUNCTION=BACKGROUND_SEARCH&SEARCHSTRING=searchterm

Can anyone help me on that?!

Regards,

Yousif

Hi Yousif,

Why dont u save the search as a named search in MDM and then pass it onto the SRM MDM.

Save the records as Named search in MDM Data Manager

For eg:

Named Search name -->> search1

Now while passing the parameters to the SRM MDM Catalog specify the Named Search in its url.

http://J2EESERVER:PORTNO/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM?sap-locale=EN&HOOK_URL=&mask=&namedSearch=search1&username=...

After passing the named search in the hook url the you will be able to see only the search which was saved in Data Manager.

Hope dis helps u
