What Is The Difference Of Master Data Management And ETL?
Apr 3, 2007
Hi, all experts here,
Thank you very much for your kind attention.
I got a bit stuck for the concepts of master data management and ETL. Arent they the same things? I mean both of them are serving the same aims of cleaning and validating data? Any experts please shed any light on that for what is the big difference between them? And what is the best practice to combine these two technologies if there is any clear difference between them?
Thank you very much in advance for your advices and help. And I am looking forward to hearing from you.
I am trying the assign the models to the user in the user management page. But when I try to expand the + symbol next to the model and open the entities, I get the error that the object reference is not set for a object server instance.
We already integrated different client data to MDS with MS Excel plugin, now we want to push back updated or new added record to source database. is it possible do using MDS? Do we have any background sync process to which automatically sync data to and from subscriber and MDS?
What is the difference between MS SQL Server Management Studio Express and MS SQL Server 2005 Express Edition? i download SQLEXPR.EXE, do i also need to download the other?
I am getting ErrorCode 8 while loading the data from stage to model. I have checked my error view it states that "Member Code is Inactive".
Initially I have loaded same set of data in Model from MDS Stage table but then deleted with ImportType = 5 which removed all the data from the MDM model.
Now i want to load it back but its giving the Error Code 8 .. Before loading the same data i have changed the stage table Importtype to 2 and Importstatusid to 0.
I've been quite excited about SQL Server MDS that should allow non-IT staff to easily maintain data. However maintaining data that have many-to-many relationships seems to be quite a pain. I believe the best way is:
Open up your MDS web interfaceGo to entities > product (for example)Add a new member and fill the details Click "product parts" in the bottom right "Related Entities" partAdd a new memberTry and find the product you just created from the dropdownlistSelect the first part and click OKAgain try and find the product you have created from the dropdownlistSelect the second part and click OKRepeat...Close the tab on your browser and finish your product entity.How I wish it worked:
Open up your MDS web interfaceGo to entities > product (for example)Add a new member and fill the detailsCheck a checkbox for each part visible under "product parts" in the bottom right "Related Entities" partFinish your product entity.
Background: In my current company the business users maintain a huge quantity of master data using excel. Then a series of SSIS jobs are edited and manually executed.
Goal: the challenge is to replace this process using MDS. One of the requested features is the possibility for the users to edit or insert new master data using the Web UI or the Excel Add-in and when they are done perform a merge of the master data in the target, in this case in the reporting DB.
The perfect solution for me is something like trigger the execution of a SSIS package to export the data from the subscription views to the reporting DB after the business rules are apply to a specific entity.
Everytime I run the load packages that I have built into the MDS staging the tables, in MDS_Staging, get cleared down and then repopulated. When the MDS database gets new data it appends it and does not clear down the data that is already in the database and is there fore hold duplicate rows.
Is there a way of truncating the tables in the MDS database before populating again with the new data from the MDS_Staging database so as to not hold duplicate rows?
I am newbie to MDS of SQL,want to know how we can transfer tables from two different SQL Databases to MDS.Suggest me the steps to proceed with any examples.
I need someone to give me a small briefieng on how a enterprise data warehouse (EDW)differs from a regular database? Currently we have an appplication that accesses a database with about 18 tables. We also have a Data Warehouse. For some reason I was thinking that it would be possibly to migrate thedatabase into the data warehouse. The reason is that in looking at the schematic design forthe data warehouse there are some data tables that could also be used by our application that uses the DB. I guess I am confused because I am not sure if a data warehouse is used in the same wayas a database?
I have two similar tables in different database and need to make query to select only the data from the first table that is not available in the second table and there is no unique record for each record , but each row is having different records for example:
CREATE TABLE table1( [PNR] [nvarchar](10) NOT NULL, [Tkt_Number] [nvarchar](10) NOT NULL, [DepaCityName] [nvarchar](50) NULL, [ArriCityCode] [nvarchar](3) NULL,
It looks like these options are only available in the SQL Server Management Studio? I installed SQL Server Management Express Studio and I can't even find the DTSWizard.exe on my machine.
Can you please help how I can import data from excel or where can I download the SQL Server Management Studio?
Hey all, Here is what I would like to do.. if any can give some advice or direction with this i would appreciate it.
We have a "master database" (MS SQL) at our main office. Then a smaller office with only a dial-up connection. Can I have my db application write all the data input to a local DB. Then write something to connect with the master DB, through a Terminal server, etc., and update it with the data from the other smaller db?
Can any one tell me the difference between Select Query and SelectCommand in data adapters?
Using SelectCommand:
string selectSQL = "SELECT CustomerID, CompanyName FROM Customers WHERE Country = @Country AND City = @City"; SqlConnection nwindConn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=localhost;Integrated Security=SSPI;Initial Catalog=northwind");SqlDataAdapter custDA = new SqlDataAdapter(); SqlCommand selectCMD = new SqlCommand(selectSQL, nwindConn);custDA.SelectCommand = selectCMD; // Add parameters and set values.selectCMD.Parameters.Add("@Country", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 15).Value = "UK";selectCMD.Parameters.Add("@City", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 15).Value = "London"; DataSet custDS = new DataSet();custDA.Fill(custDS, "Customers"); Using Select Query:
SqlDataAdapter da = new SqlDataAdapter("select P_UID,P_EMIAL,P_NAME from p_users where p_email=@p_email and p_pwd=@p_pwd", con);
da.SelectCommand.Parameters.Add("@p_pwd", SqlDbType.VarChar, 50).Value = pwdtex.Text; Can you plz tell vat is the need for giving custDA.SelectCommand and adding parameters to that command instead of directly giving Select Query in Data Adapter? Similarly Update Command: custDA.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@CustomerID", SqlDbType.NChar, 5, "CustomerID") custDA.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@CompanyName", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 40, "CompanyName")Dim myParm As SqlParameter = custDA.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@OldCustomerID", _ SqlDbType.NChar, 5, "CustomerID")myParm.SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original[C#]custDA.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@CustomerID", SqlDbType.NChar, 5, "CustomerID"); custDA.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@CompanyName", SqlDbType.NVarChar, 40, "CompanyName"); SqlParameter myParm = custDA.UpdateCommand.Parameters.Add("@OldCustomerID", SqlDbType.NChar, 5, "CustomerID");myParm.SourceVersion = DataRowVersion.Original; instead of above process, y cant v do above method in below procedure?
Hi all, I am working with SQL Server2000 and I have done a horrible thing here. We here have an script that delete all data from all user tables of a database, and I run it in the master DATABASE. As we don't made backups of this database, now somethings of the database aren't working.

I have tried to restore master table with the restore function, but it doesn't work. When I try to do this I received a message informing that it can't copy the data because one file was in use. The server was in a single user mode.
Is there anyway to recover the data that I have lost?
I have just installed Microsoft SQL Server 2014 on a Windows 2008 Enterprise server, and for some reason the following error appears every time I try to access the "Explore" page within MDS.
Arguments:Debugging resource strings are unavailable.Often the key and arguments provide sufficient information to diagnose the problem. URL...
I have been using the SSIS Log Provider for SQL Server quite a lot this year with little to no problems. Recently however as I edit or create packages the logging seems to keep going to the master.dbo.sysdtslog90 table as opposed to the [db].dbo.sysdtslog90 as setup in the package. I tried totally deleting the connection from the package and recreating and still had the problem.
Is there some setting on the SQL server itself that can cause this? Our "dba" likes to make changes without letting anyone know about them.
Is it possible to set an entity is update but can't add/delete? I want to control adding/deleting members in SSIS from another source system, but only allow users to change certain attributes.
I have 2 SQL servers (2012 SP1 & 2014SP1) with MDS. Both are working well on web. I installed the 2014 version Excel add-in, however, it can connect to 2012 instance but failed to connect to 2014 with below error.The connection failed because the URL is not valid or the Master Data Manager web application version is not supported.
I have Office 2013 installed, SQL server 2012 and MDS installed.I tried installing MDS add-in (all version supporting 2010, 2013 & 2016) and I get same error about the prerequistes.I tried installing it via command prompt through run as administrator option.
My problem seems simple but I can't how to do it with MDS... or even if it's possible !
I've got 2 entities "Agent" and "Function".
"Agent" has a code, a name, and an attribute called "function_code" which refers to "Function"'s code
"Function" as a code and a name. Name is the description of the function.
I'd like to see in a single row :
"Code", "Name", "Funcion_code" and "Name" (the last one from the entity "Function").
In SQL it will something like
Select a.code, a.name, a.function_code, f.name from agent a, function f where a.function_code = f.code
I've tried with explicit hierarchy, derived hierarchy, consolidated members...
I was able to have an entity with all those attributes but I can choose the attribute I want. My goal is that, according to "Function_code" in Agent, I get the "Name" of the function...
I need to copy data from warehouse tables to master tables of different SQL instances. Refresh need to done once in an hour. What is the best way to do this? SQL agent jobs or SSIS packages?
I have two nvarchar fields with time data 12:34:34 and the second one 12:34 I want to calculate the difference in Hours. The first field is called (OTIM) the second field is called (ReportedTime) if the name matters. I tried substring to trim the OTIM, I am unable to make it work.
I removed MDS web UI which is working before and recreated. I enabled Window Authentication and Disabled Anonymous Authentication in IIS Authentication. I am getting Access denied when I view MDS web Site.
I was reading that when applying 2008 R2 SP1 you need to run the MDS update component manually: [URL] I was curious if that package changed in later service packs because I couldn't find any mention of it.
SQL 2012, if there was a similar process in their service packs for MDS, or if it hasn't been upgraded?
I have an issue with MDS (Master Data Services for ONE platform). When I try to connect to MDS from Excel addin, I get the error - please see the attachement.
