Setting Up MDM Change Tracking in the Portal

The following guide explains how to set up the MDM change tracking
application in the Portal. The first step is to set up a JDBC connection from
the Portal to the relevant MDM database :

Deploying a JDBC driver

As standard, the system does not come with an Oracle JDBC driver – this
must first be deployed as follows :

1) Log on to the Visual Administrator of the relevant Portal

2) Go to Server->Services->JDBC Connector Service->Runtime tab
3) Choose Resources->drivers and click the “Create New Driver” icon
4) Choose name “Oracle”
5) Select file ojdbc14.jar from location
c:\usr\sap\<SID>\sys\exe\run\uc\NTAMD64

Now the datasource can be created :

6) Log on to the Visual Administrator of the relevant Portal

7) Go to Server->Services->JDBC Connector Service->Runtime tab
8) Choose Resources->datasources and click the “Create New
Datasource” icon
9) Fill in the relevant details as per the screenshot below :
a. Alias would be “MDMDNBCT” rather than “MDMCT”
 10) Click on the “Additional” tab and fill in the details for the MDM DB
server as below. When finished, click “save” :

11) Select the “DB Initialisation” tab and enter the statement “Select count
(*) as NumRecs from A2i_CM_History”. Then save the entries on this
screen .
12) Select “execute” and you should receive a confirmation that the
connection has been established.

Deploying the Application

The MDM tracking application is delivered as part of the MDM_WEB_UI

package. This was downloaded from SAPnet and placed on the Basis
software share under Z:\MDM55_SP6\Portal Content\MDMWUI55006P2_9-
10004548.ZIP.
Extract the SCA file from the zip package and deploy it to the Portal system
via SDM.
