Deploying a model from DEV to PROD did not create the users, their rights and notifications!

$

0

Hi,

Pretty disappointed here...

I deploy my first MDS model and all the security is lost as well as the notifications setup in the rules!!!

After some research I found that the users are not created and the security maintained (very bad design decision Microsoft...) but why the notifications are lost too????

How to correctly deploy stuff if the deployment tool  dont do a good job?

is there any utility or sample already doing this? (I dont want to code this if possible)


Installing Master Data Services?

$

Hi,

I'm trying to install Master Data Services on my laptop for educational purposes but I can't find it on 2014 enterprise edition installer (en_sql_server_2014_enterprise_edition_with_service_pack_1_x86_dvd_6669617). Integration services, reporting services and analysis services are all there but master data services are missing. It should be included in enterprise edition, right?

Thanks!

Get the message "401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials" after attempting to connect to my website

I get the message "401 - Unauthorized: Access is denied due to invalid credentials" after attempting to connect to my website.

I used the "Identity" value in the MDS Application Pool (go to IIS Manager, click the "Application Pools" node under the host node and look at the "Identity" value for "MDS Application Pool") as the "User name" and the password for that "Identity" value as the "Password". I do not have a domain set up (using Workgroup: WORKGROUP). I am running Windows 10 Pro on my computer, which is the host of the website. I made sure that in the Windows Authentication setting for my website, "NTLM" is above "Negotiate" on the "Enabled Providers" list. Only Windows Authentication is enabled. I also made sure that it was set the same way in the host, itself. Only Windows Authentication is enabled. In the website "Basic Settings...", I used "MDS Application Pool" and pass-through authentication. In "Edit Permissions..." under the "Security" tab, after clicking "Edit...", I added the user "IIS AppPool\MDS Application Pool" and gave it "Full control".

Does anyone know how I can connect to my website? Thank you.

User friendly way to manage data with many-to-many relationship

$

I've been quite excited about SQL Server MDS that should allow non-IT staff to easily maintain data. However maintaining data that have many-to-many relationships seems to be quite a pain.

I believe the best way is:

  • Open up your MDS web interface
  • Go to entities > product (for example)
  • Add a new member and fill the details
  • Click "product parts" in the bottom right "Related Entities" part
  • Add a new member
  • Try and find the product you just created from the dropdownlist
  • Select the first part and click OK
  • Again try and find the product you have created from the dropdownlist
  • Select the second part and click OK
  • Repeat...
  • Close the tab on your browser and finish your product entity

How I wish it worked:

  • Open up your MDS web interface
  • Go to entities > product (for example)
  • Add a new member and fill the details
  • Check a checkbox for each part visible under "product parts" in the bottom right "Related Entities" part
  • Finish your product entity

Is there really no easy way like this?


Windows 8 - "The required .svc handler mappings are not installed in IIS"

Hi

I am getting the error "The required .svc handler mappings are not installed in IIS" in the Master Data Services Configuration Manager. I am running the configuration tool as administrator on a domain joined machine using a domain user account (which is also a member of the local Administrators group).

My configuration is as follows:

Windows 8

SQL Server 2012 RTM + CU 2 (build 11.0.2325).

All required prerequisites should be installed in IIS.

I have reviewed this issue: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/is/sqldenmds/thread/764ba30b-418a-4f79-9a8d-ce9dd3225a7a

 But it does not seem to be the same problem - at least not the same solution. I hope someone can help. Thanks.

Hi there,

I have one small Question I guess you guys can answer this  I hope I did create one Entity which isLinktable. Users would like to populate only  GroupCustName andRegion  attribute.

when we do domain based for CustomerGroup (MasterTable) it always look at either Name or Code but we are not populating Name or Code attribute

So I was trying to write business Rule for Name attribute like if users what ever they populate in theGroupCustName that should be in the Name attribute as well...

Can anyone help me how to write the business rule to populate Name attribute from GroupCustName attribute?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi, I have to install MDS on a production server without testing on test server (there is none test/dev server)
On the production server each day are rendering SSRS reports which cannot be interrupted.
What risk is by installing MDS on a production server, (the SSRS, SSIS and engine may not go down,well can for some hours)  SQL2012Enterprise
What do I have to do first, steps taken, to install as save as possible for the current running BI environment?

Automation of data publishing

$
0
0

I inherited a SQL Server 2012 database with a partially implemented MDS.  Right now we are able to get data into our MasterData database using the Excel AddIn.  Basically, I connect to the MDS server using Excel, then I delete all of the records in the MasterData table that apply to the current year.  I then copy the new dataset into Excel.  I can then publish the data and my tables are updated with the new information.  It is a pretty simple process, however, I need to do this every week for two different datasets.  I was wondering if there is a better way (and by better I mean automated) to update the tables.  The only validation (rule) that we have is that only one model value can be present for a given year. 

I have seen that there are various types of tables (stg, leaf etc).  If there is a tutorial on this overall process, I would appreciate the direction.  I believe we can definitely benefit from master data management and the tables associated with the process above both qualify for my understanding of master data.  In other ERP systems, master data management is integrated in the software, but in this case we are managing the data independent of a formal software package which is why this methodology was devised.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Business Rule Error - Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string - SQL Server 2012 CU3

$
0
0

After application of CU3 for SQL Server 2012 I now receive conversion errors with simple business rules that use date comparisons.  This could be related to the fix for blank values in CU3??


I was able to reproduce this with a very simple entity.

BrDateTest

Add two date/time attributes, FromDate and ThruDate.

Add a single business rule.

Condition

ThruDate is not equal to Blank

Action

ThruDate must be greater than FromDate



Add member to the entity and set the ThruDate to a value < FromDate and the conversion error happens.

After tracing it looks like the dynamically created procedure to check the rule is comparing attributes that are "datetime2" to string values that are not datetime values hence the conversion errors.

Here are the important bits..

Procedure - [mdm].udp_SYSTEM_14_1298_CHILDATTRIBUTES_ProcessRules

 CREATE TABLE #BRMemberData
      (
         [MemberID] INT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY CLUSTERED
        ,[OriginalCode] nvarchar (250) Collate database_default  NULL --Needed later for processing of staging.
        ,[ChangeTrackingMask] INT NOT NULL
          ,[Code] nvarchar (250) Collate database_default  NULL
        ,[FromDate] datetime2 NULL
        ,[ThruDate] datetime2 NULL
    );

-- Error is caught on this next comparison

UPDATE #BRConditionEvaluation SET
            IsConditionTrue = CASE BusinessRuleID
                WHEN 1873 THEN CASE WHEN ((( md.[ThruDate] IS NOT NULL AND md.[ThruDate] <> N'~NULL~' ))) THEN 1 ELSE 0 END
          END --case
          FROM #BRConditionEvaluation AS ce
          INNER JOIN #BRMemberData AS md ON (ce.MemberID = md.MemberID);

That comparison of md.[ThruDate] <> N'~NULL~' causes the issue.

Is this a known issue and are there any work arounds for this other than excluding or deleting these business rules?

Any help would be appreciated.
