MDS in Azure VM with DB in Azure SQL Managed Instance

Hi all,

My current setup is: MDS installed on an Azure Virtual Machine with the database being in Azure SQL Managed Instance.

I never managed to have the Master Data Services Configuration Manager working properly when connecting to the database:

To solve it I had to install a local instance of SQL Server Engine, create the MDS database on that local instance, then backup and restore it on the SQL MI and lastly changing the web.config file.

Is-it a known issue ? Does anyone have already encounter it ?

Hi everyone,

I have installed the MDS 2017 and Excel Addin 2017 but when I add the connection in the AddIn and hit the test button nothing happens. There is a green checkbox next to the connection but the test button doesn't do anything and if I hit connect it won't open the explorer. Even if I click on the Show Explorer it doesn't open. Where can I find any logs or other information on the issue?

Thanks

Error opening explorer from MDS web page

Hi,

I am having problems opening explorer within our live environment.  Dev and UAT work with no issues.  I'm at a bit of a loss what else to try.  I have gone through these two links I have found but neither seemed to help through the seem to be related to the same problem that I am seeing.

social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/eafef2b5-11cb-4760-814e-2e7211122c7d/httpwebrequestwebexceptionremoteserver-error-when-opening-mds-explorer?forum=sqldenmds

algour.com/2013/09/10/mds-issue/

When opening explorer we just get this pop up error message.  This has definitely worked in the past and as far as I'm aware nothing has been changed in the configuration.

[HttpWebRequest_WebException_RemoteServer]
Arguments: NotFound
Debugging resource strings are unavailable
Often the key and arguments provide sufficient
information to diagnose the problem.
See http://....................

Would anybody be able to provide any advise or point me in the direction of any documentation regards configuring the webconfig and applicationhost files that the links above seem to suggest updating ?

Thanks,

Lee.

Writing back to Azure SQL Database Managed Instance

I don't have a great deal of experience with MDS but I have a client who is using SQL Server MDS. They are considering using Azure SQL Database Managed Instance for some of their databases. They know there currently isn't an Azure solution for MDS. However, they would like to know if the on-premises MDS can "write back" to a Managed Instance database.

MDSModelDeploy Operation Failed, clone cannot be deployed, The Attribute Value is not valid

July 9, 2012, 9:30 am

I've created a model containing a customer entity with various domain based attributes.  I've populated the entities via a combination of manual entry and the staging tables.  In the source system I have approx 950 customer records, all of which fail validation on the source system as some of the attributes will be maintained only in MDS and are not in the source systems I'm pulling the initial data from.

I ran the MDSModelDeploy.exe to create a package containing data on the source system.  I then ran the package to apply the package using the -deployclone option on my target system.  I piped the output into a flat file for review.

Here is the error I'm receiving.

MDSModelDeploy operation failed. Elapsed time: 00:01:00.2314612
Error:
A clone of the "Subzero_1" model cannot be deployed.
An error occurred while processing message request type 'EntityMembersMergeRequest'. See exception details for more information.
Package deployment failed with 344 errors

The attribute value is not valid.
The attribute value is not valid.   (repeated 344 times)

Any ideas what the issue might be?  I have tried verbose logging as well and did not find anything that would point me in the direction of the problem.  The end result was that the model was not deployed to the target.

I have also created a package without data, deployed that, then applied the data.  This gets the model to the target and the data also appears to be there but I did receive this error on the deployupdate.

This is on SQL Server 2012.

The Future of SQL Server Master Data Services

Hi,

Can anyone advise, or point me towards, a roadmap for SQL Server Master Data Services? 

We are looking to implement an MDM solution but I have a couple of niggling concerns about commiting to the Microsoft MDS solution:

  1. Reliance on Silverlight which is not available in Edge, is this being addressed by Microsoft?
  2. Sparse communitydiscussion, blog, tech articles and not even a name check in the Gartner Magic Quadrant.  Am I just not finding the conent or are not many people using the Microsoft offering in 2018? (https://www.informatica.com/content/dam/informatica-com/global/amer/us/image/misc/gartner-master-data-management-magic-quadrant-2017.jpg)
  3. The Microsoft Master Data Services blog was last updated in 2015.  It there a new source for MDS updates which I'm missing? (https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/mds/)
  4. Not available on Azure as DBaaS.  Not a show stopper but because of the above I can't see if this is on a roadmap somewhere or not.

This all adds up to give me concern over the direction of the Microsoft MDS offering. 

Can anyone help answer these questions for me or point me in the direction of recent MDS articles and updates?

Thanks.

Explorer Windows doesn't open in Excel

Good afternoon,

I have an issue with the Add-in Master Data Service, to summarize, when the user tries to use it by opening the explorer window after connecting, it doesn't display.

To be able to make it appear, we must disable and enable the add-in everytime excel is opened.

The user have Win10 1703, Office 365 16.0.8***.2***, the version that is updated every 6 month, Add-in MDS SQL 2014 and link to the database is as well SQL 2014

Many test has been made to try and make it works:

- verifying the key value in the registry "3"

- Uninstall/install the add-in.

- delete all the configuration "link to server" and connect anew

- add the rights "write/modification" on the add-in file source.

An additionnal test was made on a different client Win 10 1703, Office 365 1803 built 9126, it didn't work untill I changed the security rights and add "Writes/Modification" on the add-in file source.

At this point, I have no idea what could make this problem to keep going.

If anyone have an idea, maybe issue with the web server, or compatibility issue between Office/OS/add-in, I couldn't say.

Thank you for your help

MDS entity-syncing: home-baked solution?

Hi all

We have several entities in MDS 2014 which we'd like to share and synchronize across different models. The syncing feature of MDS 2016-2019 doesn't support the syncing of DBAs within shared entities, so is not a viable solution for us.

Has anyone coded their own syncing solution, by accessing the MDS data dictionary tables directly?

Many thanks in advance

Hi. Does anyone know of a detailed reference guide to the MDS data dictionary? We would like to automate as much of our MDS workflows as possible by directly calling the underlying stored procedures; obviously we'd need to be very sure of what we were doing!

Many thanks

I've been looking and looking, and can't seem to find any good tutorials on Master Data Services.

I've found tons of examples for PowerView and PowerPivot and Tabular models using the various SQL Server databases, but can't find anything similar for Master Data Sevices - or Data Quality Services for that matter.A

Are there any good tutorials out there? If anyone has any insight into where I may find something like this, it would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi,

The OOB stored procedure - udpStagingBatchQueueActivate is taking longer time to complete and causing performance issues in MDS 2012.

This stored procedure is scheduled to run every 60 seconds and has a wait for 5 seconds in it . I could not find much details about this Stored Procedure . Could anyone provide more details on this particular stored procedure -  what it does ? in what cases does it cause performance issues.

Thanks

Rows Duplicating in Excel after publish (MDS 2017)

We are facing a bizarre issues with MDS since we migrated to 2017 version.

Issue #1: Once stewards publish data, the data on the screen duplicates. However, the data on server side is ok. If we close and reopen excel, it's all ok.

Issue #2: Occasionally if making multiple changes, the add-in would stop responding. Again, closing excel and re-opening solves it.

Issue #3: SOmeitmes users are unable to connect to MDS via excel. We get the "http://mysource/service/service.svc/bhb" could not be activated. See the server's diagnostic trace logs for more information.

Any help and/or insight in resolving these issues would extremely helpful

Hi,

I have an entity I am using as dropdown in my main table, ie code I have as staff members name then additional columns are:

* TEAM NAME

* TEAM LEADER

* TEAM HOURS

I then in my main table Staff stats have:

* STAFF NAME (which I pick from dropdown of table above we call this table XREF_TEAM

* TEAM NAME (Thought business rule I have it as defaults to XREF_TEAM.TEAM NAME)

The issue I am having is if the XREF_TEAM table is updated ie the STAFF NAME team member changed teams so XREF updated it is not automatically updating in main table.How do I get this to work.

Cheers

How can you link to a particular member via URL Query string parameters in Master Data Manager Explorer?

I want to setup a link from an SSRS report to Master Data Manager so when the click on the SSRS report item, it will pull up Master Data Manager filtered to the particular member that the user clicked on from the report.

I cannot find any references to that being possible. Is it possible? What is the query key value to pass a member code\id or other filter criteria to Master Data Manager explorer?

MID is Model ID

VID is Version ID

EID is Entity ID

Are there other possible parameters? Can a pass a member ID or code?

Thanks

More Extensible MDS in further releases

Hi,

I am currently working on custom UI application using WCF,

and found some missing (or I am the only missing for them :))functionality (at least from back-end-side)(IMHO) reaching perfectness , it would great:

Create custom attributes for model objects, (those could be accessible only via WCF) such as ShowModel, ShowEntity, ShowAttribute, DisplayAttributeInDBAAttributeLookup, and so on.

AttributeGroups are not full filled, because you can set visibility to a certain group, but you cannot forbid visibility of all attributes. So ,why groups are necessary? if you grant access for one group, you have to leave that user away from other groups and group-less attributes. It is the way easier than denying access to certain attributes through user's permissions.

Attribute visibility and editing options - sometimes System attributes causes pain in MDS WebApplication ,because attribute Code , which is AutoGenerated on bridge entities(ie ProductMarket)  means nothing to end consumer, and would be great to be able to make it hidden.

Also possibility to make attributes read only regardless access permissions, those would be calculated by business rules or loaded by staging , etc

In summary,

Everything is good, but could be better :)
