how to add a reference to another entity member when creating a member
I need to create a member that one of its Attributes (maybe my term is wrong) is a reference to another entity member named group
the code
createRequest.Members.MemberType = MemberType.Leaf;
createRequest.Members.Members = new System.Collections.ObjectModel.Collection<Member> { };
Member aNewMember = new Member();
aNewMember.MemberId = new MemberIdentifier() { Name = uag.groupName, MemberType = MemberType.Leaf };
aNewMember.Attributes = new Collection<MDSService.Attribute>();
aNewMember.Attributes.Add(new MDSService.Attribute { Identifier = groupID }); // groupID is Identifier I got of the referenced group
//Some other attributes here
createRequest.Members.Members.Add(aNewMember);
// Create a new entity member
EntityMembersCreateResponse createResponse = clientProxy.EntityMembersCreate(createRequest);
Tells me: "The attribute data type is not valid"Is it wrong to add the reference as attribute?
How can I embed the reference in the new member?

MDS Filter entity based on attribute from another domain
Hi,
I hope you could provide me with a solution to my problem. I have an entity (A), in which I use domain based attribute. The second entity (B) has several attributes. My problem is that, I would like to filter the first entity (A) based on an attribute that belongs to the second entity. The only way I can filter it (in MDS Excel add-in or Explorer) is by using Code or Name from the second entity.
I have in mind a couple of solutions, but they require some coding with xml saved query from Excel.
Is there out of a box solution that comes with MDS?

How to manage MDS development + production (+UAT...) data + models?
Hi,
how would one manage development and production of MDS? Use only one MDS and dev / prod versions or use separate MDS installations for dev / prod? I am uncertain about the proper way to install this. We have to develop new models and enter new data on the dev machine. We then have to sync the models and some of that data to prod. We also have to sync some data back to dev at times (because data stewards enter data in prod that we require for dev).
Any hints on best practices would be great. TIA,
Tim

Need to set permission on a set of members. Setting Hierarchy member permission does not appear to work
Our business requires us to set permission by divisions. For example, division A can only update/change division A managed products and division B can only update/change division B managed products, etc. (Users of both divisions can read each other's products).
How could I accomplish this? I tried to set permissions on a derived hierarchy called Product By Division. But i did not get the desired result:
- On the excel add-in, even though division A products are greyed out for division B users, division B users can still change any of the division A products and publish successfully.
- On the web UI, division B users can't change division A products (good) but they can change their division attribute to A and save it. Also, add new member is diabled for all users.
I appreciate any insights on how to solve this.

Issue with Assigning Member Hierarchy Permissions in one environment
Issue: Currently the Member Hierarchy permissions will not become effective in our production environment. However, QA and DEV environments cannot replicate the issue.
Description:
On the Hierarchy Members screen, we assign read-only to one member and deny to the other.
The Entity is set to read-only for user.
When looking at the user only screen for the hierarchy membership - the read-only and deny permissions are shown. However, effective shows read-only for both AND an "*". If you hover over the members on this screen it shows "Read-only (inherited).
In QA - the effective screen reflects the hierarchy membership permissions set under the user only screen.
Troubleshooting steps taken:
1. Validated that SQL Service account in Production environment has sysadmin access. The Service account actually didn't have the sysadmin access when I check originally. I added this and restarted SQL. However, the problem was not solved.
2. This issue is occurring for multiple users in the production environment. I cannot replicate it in QA.
3. After assigning all of the permissions I am using the recommended sp as directed in the immediately apply membership permissions write-up on technet
4. I have validated that the Service Broker is enabled and an Endpoint is present in the production environment.
EXEC [mdm].[udpSecurityMemberProcessRebuildModel] @Model_ID = MODELID, @ProcessNow = 1;

Derived Hierarchy Permissions - able to move to locked parent
We have MDS 2012 in which we are using derived hierarchies to manage call center data. I have set up permissions at the highest parent level so that uses only have access to modify their centers, but have read only on the others so they can see other parts of the hierarchy.
Our users are testing and found they can move objects from parents where they have access to parents where they do not have access.
For example:
Parent A
-Child A
-Child B
Parent B
-Child C
-Child D
User Bob has Update permissions on Parent A, Read-Only on Parent B. Bob can move child A from Parent A to Parent B, even though he has Read-Only on Parent B.
No validation errors occur from business rules, nor from permissions; however, once the model validates, Bob cannot edit Child A under Parent B as it is now Read-Only. We do not want users to be able to move children across parents for which they do not have update access.
How to I fix this?

Change order of attributes using arrows jumps over 24 attributes
I am working in SQL Server Master Data Services Version 11.0.5058.0 (SP 2).
I have been asked to group all the financial attributes together. When I move one of the attributes up using the arrows, it works good jumping over one attribute at a time. Then I reach a section of attributes where it leap frogs over 24 attributes. It appears these 24 attributes are in a subgroup but there are no attribute groups and I removed the subscription view from the entity. If I move one of the 24 attributes in the group, it moves it outside of the 24 attributes. Any ideas on what is causing this issue?
This is under leaf member attributes. There are no collection or consolidated groups.
Thanks.

Cannot apply business rule - greater than decimal datatype
Hello,
I've encountered such a irritating problem, which I can repeat only on specific environment (even if both tested for sql server 2012).
I created a business rule for 'arg' datatype decimal. The condition is "if is not blank" and the action is "must be greater than 0". After publishing business rules I hit "apply rules" in excel add-in and I received this error:
"Error converting data type nvarchar to numeric. Transaction count after EXECUTE indicates as mismatching number of BEGIN and COMMIT statements. Previous count = 0, current count = 1.Transaction count after EXECUTE indicates as mismatching number of BEGIN and COMMIT statements. Previous count = 0, current count = 1.Transaction count after EXECUTE indicates as mismatching number of BEGIN and COMMIT statements. Previous count = 0, current count = 1.Transaction count after EXECUTE indicates as mismatching number of BEGIN and COMMIT statements. Previous count = 0, current count = 1. Uncommittable transaction is detected at the end of the batch. The transaction is rolled back. "
So far I am 100% sure, that the problem is caused by this specific business rule. There are no values in 'ARG' that return the error of "converting nvarchar to numeric", I've already tried to query that from db level witch cast or checked any uncommitted transactions.
Do you have any ideas what the cause is?

Get value of a member from an other entity
Hello !
My problem seems simple but I can't how to do it with MDS... or even if it's possible !
I've got 2 entities "Agent" and "Function".
"Agent" has a code, a name, and an attribute called "function_code" which refers to "Function"'s code
"Function" as a code and a name. Name is the description of the function.
I'd like to see in a single row :
"Code", "Name", "Funcion_code" and "Name" (the last one from the entity "Function").
In SQL it will something like
Select a.code, a.name, a.function_code, f.name
from agent a, function f
where a.function_code = f.code
I've tried with explicit hierarchy, derived hierarchy, consolidated members...
I was able to have an entity with all those attributes but I can choose the attribute I want. My goal is that, according to "Function_code" in Agent, I get the "Name" of the function...
Thanks a lot !

Powershell New-WebServiceProxy fails for MDS Web Service

I can probably manually generate a proxy assembly but it would be far easier if anyone knows a workaround for this.

Product Entity with different Attributes for each type of Product
Hello,
We have a requirement where the Products would have different attributes (or data requirement). For example:
the 'Ball Bearing' product should have the following attributes: Inner Diameter, Outside Diameter, Material, Shields
the 'O-Ring' product will have: Inner Diameter, Outside Diameter, Material
the Ball Valve product will have: Body Material, Connection Type, Size
Some of the Attributes above are Free Form like the Inner Diameter, Outside Diameter. Some of them are Domain-based like the Material, Shields, Size, Connection Type.
The sample above are just few of their data requirements, but the average number of product attributes would be between 15-10 per product type.
We have 2000+ different kinds/type of products, combining all different/unique attributes, we have 1400+ unique attributes. To make one master Product entity, I would need to create 1400+ different attributes.
I've tested one by creating a Product entity with 900 attributes (just below the table limitation). Have created the entity via Excel add-in. The entity was successfully created, but due to the Very Large entity, it would not even display in the explorer anymore.
What I would need to do is to have one product table, where each product would have their own attributes depending on the type of the Product. Different products can be in different entities (if that is the only way), but I would still like be able to list all Products in one view or from another entity, then be able to drill down to their specific data requirements/attributes.
Brgds,
Harold

Maintaining contiguous code id's by applying business rule
I deleted some records out of an entity, I'd like to keep the Codes as contiguous and incremental, meaning no breaks between the code numbers.
I created a business rule and applied it but codes remain the same.
I used the "Default to a generated Value" action, then selected the Code attrib. --Saved.
Then back to the Entity, I applied business rules. But nothing seemed to have happened. As there was no change in codes.
There are no validation errors either.
What might I be missing?

This issue does stop us doing anything forward.
MDM add-in , first time, we found, when you go to options-->com add-ins, the verbage below shows "not loaded. A runtime error occurred". Then I followed below link to upgrade my MDM add-in

Advanced filtering of domain-based attributes
I’m at a loss with a user requirement right now and I’m hoping you may have an idea to a solution.
Data Scenario– Sitemaster entity has two attributes (Region and Country).
- Region and Country are both domain-based attributes on separate entities [Region and . The Country entity has a domain based attribute on REGION.
- Data relationship looks like this… REGION > COUNTRY
Customer Requirement
- Customer would like the MDS UI to filter the Country drop-down options based on the Region selection.
To my knowledge – the only filtering that can be done is based on user security using Hierarchy Membership Permissions.
Let me know if you have any ideas.
