Hello All,

I have some guidance regarding designing a master data model for the customer base, where the client is seeking to build MDM for analytical purposes

The requirements as following:

We have two data source with different data structure, each data source holds number of customer as following - this data is fake, but it serves the requirements:

Data source 1:

PK	National ID	Name	Location	Email
1	A120	C. Ronaldo	Germany	cr@company.com
2	A120	C. Ronaldo	Germany	cr@company.com
3	A120	C. Ronaldo	Germany	cr@company.com

Data source 2:

ID	Name	Address	Email
123456	Cristiano Muller Ronaldo	170 St., Berlin	cr@company.com

The requirement as following:

We need to cleanse the duplicates of the customer in Data source 1, however, each record has many transactions.
We need to match the customer in Data source 1 with Data source 2 based on their names
We need to keep track the record that we merge them, in order to let the data steward for unmerge them
We need to keep the business keys of each of the data source – example, PK in Data source 1, and ID in Data source 2, the objective as we mentioned is MDM for analytical purposes, so the data warehouse that will extract the data from MDS hub shall know the transactions ID in order to retrieve their transaction from the data sources.
We need to have Row-Level security
We need to do the matching and cleansing the data automatically, as my client is not interesting in Excel features, since the integration will be done through SSIS because we have millions of records, and part of them will be done automatically.

The big question is how to achieve these requirements through leveraging the features of SQL DQS + MDS 2012

Hi All,

I would like to log one to many and many to many relationships within the metadata model at the attributes level.

For instance I would like to log the information products (like reports) which use the specific attribute for impact analysis. This results in a one to many relationship because attributes might be shown within multiple information products.

Hence, I only notice the ability to add on a one per one basis. Hope you can help me out.

Row Level Security

October 5, 2016, 5:13 am

≫ Next: Business Rule Extension examples

≪ Previous: Bug

Hi,

I enabled row level security by creating a DH on an entity and specifying for 2 users which members they are allowed to see. When I log in as user A it shows the members it is allowed to see. The user has also permission to create a new member. After creating a new member, it is visible for user A for some time, but after a while (and refreshing the browser) it disappears. It sounds logical because there is no security set on the newly created member.

What do I have to do to support the scenario that a user only sees the data to which it is allowed to see (row level security) and that newly created members are automatically applied to the right security settings (e.g. row level security is automatically assigned to newly created members).

≪ Previous: Recruiting people who would like to work with us for MDS (Master Data Service) features

Hi There,

I am just trying to use the features offered by MDS and its WCF WebService.

I created an entity in MDS, and I want just to insert / merge one line in this new entity. So I took the wsdl offered by the http://localhost/mds/service/service.wcf?wsdl

Until now everything works fine, I called with SOAPUI the ServiceCheck and ServiceVersionGet and it replied properly.

However when I try to call the EntityMembersMergeRequest I couldn't figure out what parameters to pass to the WebService in order fo it to work.

Below is the request ( in MDS my entity is called "Key Issue")

<ns:EntityMembersMergeRequest>
<ns:Members>
<ns:EntityId>
<ns:Name>Key Issue</ns:Name>
</ns:EntityId>
<ns:MemberType>Leaf</ns:MemberType>
<ns:Members>

<ns:Member>

<ns:Collections>
<ns:Collection>
<ns:CollectionId>

</ns:MemberId>

All the time I got the same error :

MDS 2016 - How to reassign super user access now that [mdm].[udpSecuritySetAdministrator] is gone?

October 9, 2016, 10:39 pm

≫ Next: Dynamic data masking from leaf to subscription not working as expected in MDS 2016

≪ Previous: EntityMembersMergeRequest using SOAPUI

Often a user creates an MDS database without granting Administrator or Super User access to other users, then leaves the company. As a result nobody can maintain the MDS databases (and as their AD account gets disabled we can't use it either).

In MDS 2008 R2 -> MDS 2014 Microsoft has a procedure to circumvent this issue as documented here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff487048%28v=sql.120%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396

However in MDS 2016 the procedure mdm.udpSecuritySetAdministrator is no longer available. What's the Microsoft supported method of reassigning Super User now when the original super users are no longer available?

Hi,

While doing PoC for dynamic data masking in SQL 2016, We came across an issue, where we are trying to process data after applying mask function in one of the attribute in leaf table. When we process leaf data to subscription view as admin user, subscription procedure (UDF) reading mask data instead of original data & processing the same in MDS subscription.

Ideally if we are running MDF leaf UDF as admin user, it should process original data not masked one.

Is it MDS bug or Is there any other way to process the same?

Thanks,

I've created an entity with a DESCRIPTION attribute which was created with a DATA TYPE of "Text" and LENGTH of 1438...now that some time has passed, I'm realizing that length should have been more like 2000 characters.

So, the question is: How can I increase a text field's length once it's been created? Both the DATA TYPE and LENGTH are greyed out...

Or perhaps the question should be: Why are the DATA TYPE and LENGTH properties of an attribute greyed out? I'm the guy that installed everything, I have god rights to everything...it's not a permissions issue (as best as I can tell), so why can't I change the length?

When I’m trying to delete a hierarchy the status hangs on GenericStatus_Updating.

I have tried this on our test server which have been updated from 2014 to 2016. When I noticed the problem on our test server I made the same test on the live server which are a fresh 2016 installation. And the problem was exactly same on the live server.

There is no problem to make new or edit entities, attributes or hierarchies. It’s only problem to delete objects.

Have I missed something I need to do in 2016.?

Hi,

I have MDS 2012 installed and we always use Excel add-in to add/modify records. One of my Japanese users occationally gets the error message "The user does not have premission or the Object ID is not valid" when adding records.

We have done no changes to the users access, in fact we haven't done any changes or additions at all in the administration tool. A temporary solution has been that I as administrator add the records for the user for some time (no issues for me as administrator) and after some preiod, the user can add records to the enity again. I dont know what trigger that it works again.

After the user has gotten this error message, I as an administrator can open up the entity and see as many empty rows as the user has tried to add, including only automatically generated code, all other attributes/columns are empty.

Last time this happend we noticed that there were some issue with a column containing Japanese signs.
On apply rules we got a error message refering to that column with japanese sign saying "Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value "xxx" to data type int." The column is nvarchar/text field. We tried to add a value to the same column containing latin letters/text and we got the same error. Publishing after this gav us the error message "The user does not have premission or the Object ID is not valid". However, publishing all columns except the one containing Japanese signs was successful and modifying/adding the japanese text to the record as second step was also successful!

Does anyone have an idea what the problem can be?
