MDM Development Setup and Configuration and Troubleshooting


MDM Development Setup and Configuration and Troubleshooting
1.       All the user account which part of MDM integration is should have been grant with following permissions,
a.       MDS Service Account in computer management
b.      Should be an LogOn user to MDS Database
c.       MDS Database user should have the membership mdm_exec and axmdm_exec permission should be checked
d.      MDS Database user should have the Owned schema are mdm,stg,mdq,dqs
e.      Users should be added to MDS site user with Super user permissions.
2.       All the MDM Database should be associated with an IIS site under Default website, so you verify the same by looking into the web config of the respective MDS IIS site where the MDS Database is configuring to connect between IIS site and MDS Database.
3.       We need to make sure that MDS IIS site is up and running and the user have enough privilege to access the same by browsing the site from IIS. Basically you can verify the permission once you open the MDS site you can see all the feature like System Administration, Integration Management and User Group Permission etc.
4.       Log on to AX machine and open the Dynamics AX Management shell and execute the following command,
a.       Syntax: Set-AXMasterDataManagementMDSSetup –MDSServerName -MDSDatabase

Eg: Set-AXMasterDataManagementMDSSetup –MDSServerName dBI04 -MDSDatabase MDS
5.       Open the Dynamics AX client and make sure that the License configuration has been enabled for the MDM in the following path,
a.       System Administration->License Configuration->Data Import and Export -> MDM
6.       In Dynamics AX client, go to Data Import and Export Menu under Master Data Management select Configure MDM with following parameters,
a.       Server : MDM Database server name Eg: DBI04
b.      Repository : MDM Database Eg: MDS
c.       Service URL : Basically you can find this under MDM IIS site-> Services-> Service.svc and click on browse. Copy the same URL and paste it here.
d.      Click on Test configuration -> If user has all permission the connection should be succeeded.
7.       In Dynamics AX client, go to Publish Entities and Click on Create schema by selecting the required entity, this will basically create the schema in MDS site with new Model and Entity and you can verify the same by looking in to the MDS site. Basically, publishing the entities required Schema permission as I have mentioned above in point 1. Once the Entity schema is created in MDS site, the InMDS checkbox will be checked in the Publish entity form.
8.       In Dynamics AX client, go to Manage Synchronous and  create new Sync group. Go to entities Only published entities will be displayed in lookup, choose the required entity and save. Go to Settings and configure the Push and Pull operation. Finally click on New Schedule and Run the Sync either by batch or normally based on the Push and Pull configuration it sync the data to MDS. Once the sync is completed we’ll get info about the record count that is synced From and To MDS site.
Configuring Customer Interface
Assumption: AOS1 and AOS2 – Customer synchronous through MDM via MDS service. Let’s say AOS1 is the Source and AOS2 is the Destination.
 





By Default, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3 system contains out of BOX MDM entities they are,
1.       Customer
2.       Vendor
3.       Product
4.       Party
5.       Employee
This section describes about How to configure the standard out of box Customer Interface Sync between two different AOS system using MDS service.
1.       Open AOS1 environment and Dynamics AX client.
2.       Click on Publish Entities under MDM section under DIXF.
3.       Select Customer entity and click on Create Schema. Basically, it requires the following schema owner for the mds_schema_user user,
a.       mdm
b.      stg
c.       mdq
d.      dqs
4.      
Once the entity is published, we’ll get info saying that the “Entity is published successfully” and you can verify the same by looking into the entity in MDS site with same entity name and Model.










5.       Click on Manage Synchronization menu and Click on New to create new Sync group.
6.       After creating Sync group, click on Entity on the respective Sync group, all the Published entities will be displayed in the lookup. Select the Customer entity in the lookup and save the same.
7.       After the selecting the entity, click on settings and select the Synchronization Type, it should Push and Pull.
8.       Open AOS2 environment and Dynamics AX client.
9.       AOS2 environment should also be configured with same MDS server where the AOS1 system is connected.
10.   Once you click on Publish entities menu, you can see that the Customer entity is already Synced with checkbox InMDS is true, it says that already Customer entity is published.
11.   Click on Manage Synchronization menu and Click on New to create new Sync group.
12.   After creating Sync group, click on Entity on the respective Sync group, all the Published entities will be displayed in the lookup. Select the Customer entity in the lookup and save the same.
13.   After the selecting the entity, click on settings and select the Synchronization Type, it should be Pull.
14.   Click on New Schedule on the Sync Group and setup the Batch JOB
15.   Go to AOS1 machine and click on New Schedule on the Sync Group and setup the Batch JOB.
