Hello,
I need to send an e-mail alert when a change has been detected.
I've created a business rules that call a user defined script when a change has been detected.
I try to call the msdb.dbo.sp_send-dbmail but it doesn't work : "The EXECUTE permission was denied on the object 'sp_send-dbmail', database 'msdb',schema 'dbo'
The business rule executes my stored proc with user 'mds_br_user' wich is a SQL user without login (Impossible to map to msdb).
Any idea or workaround ?
Thanks
Good day
I'm trying to upload a list onto master data services by creating a new entity in ms excel however the error I get is:
User does not have permission or object ID is incorrect, but when I look at the permissions I have for all the models, it seems I have all the permission in the world to make all the necessary changes, so this is totally confusing.
I hope someone will be able to help.
Thanks in advance.
We are transitioning from MDS2012 to MDS2016. Some of the users need to connect to both instances. The 2016 add-in does not support the 2012 databases and the other way around. I don't see how to install both add-ins in excel on a client computer. Does anyone know how to allow a user to access data from MDS2012 and MDS2016 using the excel add-in from the same PC?
Has anyone found an issue with the Master Data Services 2016 Excel-add in ( x64 ) causing Excel 2016 x64 to crash continually at start-up ?
I'm running Windows 10 Enterprise Version 10.0.10586 Build 10586
Excel is 2016 x64 running under Office 365 ProPlus
MDS Excel Add-in version 13.0.2121.20 (x64)
I also have the required .netframework versions and Visual Studio 2010 runtime installed. Tried it on a Windows 7 machine with the same version of Excel and MDS plug-in without any issues; tried it on another Windows 10 Laptop and the issue occurred again.
Event Log errors:
Microsoft Excel: Rejected Safe Mode action : Excel is running into problems with the 'microsoft.masterdataservices.exceladdin' add-in. If this keeps happening, disable this add-in and check for available updates. Do you want to disable it now?

Hello I’ am using Master Data Services(MDS) from Microsoft SQL Server 2016 and use the Excel Plugin to upload and download content on the Mater Data Server. Everything works except when i add an new column to an existing entity.
When I add the new column in Excel the column gets a green colour and when I press publish. Nothing happened. Only when I add new rows in Excel and press Publish then the content will be uploaded to the MDS Server.
My question is: Is it possible to add new columns in an existing data set? And how can you do that?
Many thanks!!

Hola, acudo a vosotros para haceros una pregunta que me presentan...
Sobre una instancia de SQL 2016 ya instalada y funcionando con sus bases de datos, en Failover Cluster, me piden instalar Master Data Services (MDS).
Se me presento este mismo problema hace tiempo sobre SQL 2012, en mismo escenario sobre Failover Cluster, y recuerdo que no estaba soportado, hasta que sacaron un "Fix", el cual forzaba después del fix si el clúster de conmutación por error ya está
instalado y la función MDS no se encuentra instalada en los nodos de clúster, la instalación de SQL Server 2012 debe desinstalarse y luego reinstalarse según un procedimiento dado... para mas información os dejo el enlace:
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2683467/fix-master-data-services-is-not-supported-on-a-clustered-installation
Mi duda, es que si el procedimiento sigue de la misma forma en SQL 2016. No he encontrado nada que sugiera otra forma de instalarlo en versiones mas recientes.
La única recomendación que encuentro en el MSDN es instalar MDS sobre grupos de disponibilidad AlwaysOn como alta disponibilidad y no menciona nada sobre Failover Cluster
de antemano gracias

I have a problem with the MDS Excel Addin being permanently disabled on Win 10. After repair then reinstall I followed these steps to fix:
Here’s the initial state. If I check the COM addin to enable, and go back in it is immediately disabled.
<v:shapetype coordsize="21600,21600" filled="f" id="_x0000_t75" o:preferrelative="t" o:spt="75" path="m@4@5l@4@11@9@11@9@5xe" stroked="f"><v:stroke joinstyle="miter"><v:formulas></v:formulas></v:stroke></v:shapetype>Unfortunately it was already set to auto load
So I went to their plan B. This key was not in the registry at all so I manually entered it:
But no luck, it is still showing disabled. Any ideas what to try next?

SQL Server 2017 MDS ... seems to be OK for some users but not others. This crash occurs for all users that are in the Local Administrators group of the Server where SQLServer is installed. I have not seen this crash for users that are not in the Local Administrators Group. What could be wrong?
User and Group Permissions -> Edit Selected User -> Click Models Tab
User and Group Permissions -> Edit Selected User -> Hierarchy Members Tab -> Hierarchy Drop Down
I have two derived hierarchies configured and neither appears in the Hierarchy Drop Down

Hi,
I have followed all documentation and online guides to set up MDS in SQL 2017 RTM. It all works and connects fine, including browse to the hompage from my machine fine.
EXCEPT using the MDS Excel add-in for SQL 2017 (onExcel 2016 64 bit). When adding a connection and clicking the 'Test' or 'Connect' buttons, nothing happens. Then I switched on the VSTO_SUPPRESSDISPLAYALERTS environment variables, and sure enough it's generating an exception:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.Any idea what could be going on?
Many thanks,

Hi All
Good Day!!
I am working on MDS 2016 as a developer and require excel plug-in for performing bulk data inserts, updates and deletes.
Though, it is a fairly simple installation process outlined by MS and same steps works on my colleagues' machine, but on my machine it does not. For clarity of problem, I will outline below exact steps followed by me for installation:
Excel Version: MS Excel 2016 32 Bit
SQL Server Version : 2016
Runtime Installed : MS Visual Studio Tools for Office Runtime 2010
Excel Add In Installed : MasterDataServicesExcelAddinSS16
Step 1 - Install the VS tools mentioned above on local machine (where excel is installed)
Step 2 - Install Excel Plug In mentioned above
Post this, after opening excel I am able to see the Master Data Tab available will multiple options.
But while I am trying to establish a connection to SQL server, nothing happens. I created a Dev connection as per below image:
But when I click on test or connect, nothing happens....no error message, no loading screen. I tried many possible solutions available over the internet but did not happen. Can you please help me with the solution to this?
Let me know if further info is required for debugging the issue.
Many Thanks

Hi,
I have a custom workflow dll that is configured to be called through a business rule for change tracking .
The rule executes fine when the changes to the attributes are made through MDS Explorer web UI one at a time , However, when the changes are made through the mds excel add-in, it sends the message for the top most record only.
For examples if there are 3 records in an entity , student.
Code Student Name
1 Raj
2 Jack
3 Ashley
And all three names are changed by changing last letter , it sends code '1' 3 times to the integration workflow service.
I even tried clicking apply rules before publish , but it still did the same.
Any thoughts/ideas would be greatly appreciated?
I've been unable to find the answer to this question, so trying here.
There is a column called "ChildLevelNumber" in the view of each parent-child hierarchy (view usually called mdm.<EntityName>PC)
When moving a member between the nodes in the hierarchy that level is set to -1 and then can be corrected by some process.
I am guessing that it is done by this SP: mdm.udpHierarchyMemberLevelSave but how is it called?
So far I've tried validating model, running business rules etc - no luck.Hi.
We have recently upgraded from MDS 2012 to MDS 2016, and notice that tbltransaction table is missing. However I do find that there is table tbl_**_**_TR for each entity that should hold the transaction data for that entity, but I do not see this table for any existing entity in the model. Also I tried creating new entity with Transaction Log Type as Attribute/Member but did not create this table at SQL server.
I have reports built on tbltransaction to fetch the changes at entity level in a specified period , which fails in MDS 2016. Can anyone suggest any alternative for tbltransaction ? or any other way to set these reports ?
Thanks
hi there,
I just noted index checking message as below sometimes cannot be correctly shown to user in MDS Add-in for Excel:
"The duplicated attribute value cannot be saved because there is an unique index "
Instead, it only ask client to turn on IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults, (either ServiceBehaviorAttribute or serviceDebug) or turn on tracing as per Microsoft .NET framework SDK. The error beginning with the below message:
"The server was unable to process the request due to an internal error."
Can this be due to permission access that stop the message showing error detail, or if I should try turn on the things as message suggested?
Hi,
We're using SQL server 2016 SP1-CU7
I have Entity A and Entity B
Entity B contain a domain base attribute from Entity A and a free form text field.
I created a Derived hierarchy base on Entity A field 1 as parent and Entity B as child (which contains the domain base field from Entity A).
I have one user who has read permission on Entity A and Full Access for Entity B.
In the hierarchy members permission, using the derived hierarchy created earlier, I gave full access to 2 specific values in Entity A.
Now using the Excel add-in, the user is able to read, delete or insert new data in Entity B and can only select the two values in the domain base attribute field from Entity A. So everything is working well so far.
But when the user tries to insert and publish a large amount of entries (> 300 at a times). the user get an error.
When I look at the log file, the error is
06/16/2018 11:28:35,7f831ad0-f0f5-4059-a60c-31755040c9d6,EntityMembersCreate,Error,"SqlException message: A database error has occurred. Contact your system administrator.

When I remove the hierarchy members permission and give all access, the user is able to publish more than 1500 entries at a time.
Anyone has any idea why the user cannot publish more than a couple entries at a time? Is it a permission issue? Or a server setting perhaps?
Thanks!
Hello Experts,
I am using SSIS to load master data files in MDS. I have a entity which has the cross field validations as a business rule in MDS. When I do call validate entity procedure, I can see that the validation failed for the records which do not meet rule specs.
But I do not see the validation errors been logged into MemberErrorDetails table. I tried to find the related table in MDS from which I can retrieve validation error but unable to find any.
I need to fetch these errors into the file and report it back to the users through the automated SSIS package.
Appreciate any help here.
Cheers,
Prashant Bhatt
I'm wondering if it's possible to change the format of the notification emails? I would like to add in a new column.
I've tried to edit SettingValue in mdm.tblSystemSetting for ValidationIssueHTML. However, the new column I added doesn't show in the emails.
Thanks in advance!
