SQL Server 2016 Master Data Services Change Member Status Transaction differs from Reverted Transaction
I have a client who is using SQL Server 2016 Master Data Services. The client has strict requirements for the Audit Log and the data in each transaction. During testing a user noted that the transaction record of type "Change Member Status" (functional soft delete) created a record without any data in the "Old Value" and "New Value" fields. This was not surprising. However, if that transaction is "Reversed" in MDS, then compensating transaction does have values in the "Old Value" and "New Value" field (i.e. Inactive and Active).
Is this by design? Shouldn't the compensating transaction be a mirror image of the first?

Connecting to SQL Server 2012 with Excel 2016.
Hello,
I'm attempting to install and utilize the MDS plug-in for Excel.
I have 64 bit Excel 2016 and a 2012 MDS implementation.
The only plug in that I can successfully install is the 2016 version; however, when I attempt to connect to the MDS web server, I get the following message:
"The connection failed because the URL is not valid or the Master Data Services web application version is not supported."
Previously, on a different machine, I was successfully connecting, but I was using Excel 2010.
Any insight to this?
Thanks.

MDS 2016 not loading records from _leaf table
I am having an issue loading records into MDS entities using the import tool and _leaf tables. After I load the records into the _leaf table the batch shows up in the import tool. When I run the batch, it executes and indicates it has completed with no errors. However, no members are loaded into the entity and the import status on the _leaf table is still 0 (should be changed to 1 if successful or 2 if it failed).
When this initially happened, I was able to work around the issue by clearing all of the batches from the import tool, deleting all of the records from the _leaf table, and then reloading the batch into the _leaf table. However, this issue has occurred again and that workaround did not work. I have also tried run an update on the _leaf table to assign a new batch ID but the new batch does not appear in the import tool.
Does anyone have a way to get the import tool working again?

MDS Domain-Based Attributes in Excel
I have setup SQL Developer 2016 and Excel 2013 with all of their updates through today. Still having the following problem.
Specifically, this is regarding the drop down list in the Excel sheet cell after I have setup the attribute to be domain-based. On my install, the drop down in Excel only shows “DomainEntity2345ljh234j5h2….” (DomainEntity followed by a random string which
is different for different columns that have the domain-based attribute setup). It should show the list of names and codes that it should pull from the associated entity. I have setup a basic test set of entities with nothing too complicated.
Multiple re-installs of the add in and re-creation of the domain-based attribute both starting from Excel and the web explorer but nothing. It's fine in the web explorer when I drill down to the member row and open the side box. Just need it to work in Excel otherwise the entire domain-based drop down concept won't serve its function.
Thanks,
Chris

MDS 2012 --> MDS 2016, business rule - error 156
Important!!!
I did Upgrade the database with MDS 2012 --> MDS 2016 (SQL Server 2016 EE SP1). Upgrade was successfully.
If I edit an existing business rule or create a new business rule: for example, "minimum length is 5 characters",
the value 5 is not stored in business rule. We watched the Profiler: web applications not pass a parameter to a stored procedure.
When we publish the business rule, we get an error 156.

SS 2016 Model drop down empty
Hi,
I'm using SQL Server 2016 GA with no CU and have it set up on a Windows Server 2012 R2. I was able without problem creating an MDS model, actually two models with entities, SV's etc.
Then all of a sudden the model drop down is blank. I receive an error when trying to access the security part and when trying to create a new model I receive a general error. The DB is still there with the entities etc. In Master data configuration manager I'm able to select and edit DB properties and also connect the web to it.
So then I tried creating a new MDS database. That worked, but I can't add any model, same error (110001) again.
So I understand that something has happend that caused this, but I can't figure out what. I've restarted SQL server and IIS. I've run SQL Server Profiler and can't seem to find any calls to the DB when refreshing the MDS site.
Thankful for any pointers in the right direction.

Problem with Microsoft Excel Add In
My PC Config is:
Windows 10, Excel 2010, Sql Server 2014, IIS v10 (I think)
I have installed SQL Server and have set up the MDS database.
When I go into MDS Services Configuration, I see message :
"Internet Information Services (IIS) is not configured on this server.
These required Web Server role services are not installed:
Windows Authentication"
Despite above, I was still able to successfully create web app and connect to MDS via the Web Application.
From MDS in Web Browser , I then installed MDS Add-In for Excel.
When in Excel, I try and connect to MDS, I get error, "The HTTP request in unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Ntlm'. "
I cannot find WindowsAuthentication check box in IIS. I cannot find it when I go to turn on Windows Features. Is this because I have Windows 10?
As I cannot find WindowsAuthentication anywhere, is there another way to get the MDS Add-In for Excel working?

Filter by another table using join in Excel Add-on
Hi,
Have anyone of you figured out how to filter results in Excel by joining with another table?
Is there possibility to modify .msdqx file for joining?
It would be very unpleasant to populate company level tables with group level data just to use those fields as a filter.
Or if you guys have given up on this possibility, what has been your workaround? Opening whole table and filtering rows afterwards using external views? Something else?
Thanks in advance,

Versioning data in a SQL database
Hello,
We are storing information about our products but we will like to store information of the changes made to our products. If a product change instead of override the information create a new product revision. Each product has several properties in separate relational tables, so those tables also need to point to the latest rev.
ProductA, Revision: 1
{
Property: A Value: Z
Property: B Value: D
}
Can anyone help me with an approach for do 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

MDS sends email notification of version status change to all users
Hi,
I have successfully configured MDS notification settings, however it turned out that version status change notifications are sent not only to those members who have UPDATE permission on model (model administrators) but also to those who have effective Read-Only + Deny (combination) permission.
I wonder how this could happen and whether it is possible to completely turn off version status change notification?

Primary platform is 2014 Enterprise,
I’ve configured DQS in my local box, created Knowledge base and domain as well as its domain rules and imported an Excel (only Excel is allowed??)

How to insert new data into a [stg] entity table in MDS using a stored proc.?
Hello Everyone,
Right now, I manually publish data into one of my MDS entities using Excel UI. Is there a way to insert new data into my MDS entities ( [stg] tables ) using a MDS SQL stored procedure so data refresh is refreshed automatically through an ETL process as opposed to me publishing data to a MDS server through an Excel UI.
Thank you very much.
