Package com.sap.mdm.commands Description

Provides commands for establishing a session with the MDM server.

Overview

To communicate with the MDM server, the MDM Java API needs to establish a session with the MDM server. There are three types of sessions, server session, repository session and user session. There are a number of commands that do not require a session (session-less). The general usage order for a session is:

• Creates a session
• Authenticates the session
• Make use of the session
• Destroy the session

Sessions

As mentioned, there are three type of sessions. What each session type is use for is as follow:

Server sessions are use for general management of a running MDM server. Server sessions are use for mounting a repository, setting the MDM server password, stopping the MDM server, unarchiving a repository, etc.

Repository sessions are use for management of a MDM repository. A repository session identifies a specific MDM repository. Repository sessions allow for managing repository users, roles, tables, fields, etc. If for any reason a repository is unmounted, the repository session will become invalid.

User sessions are use for repository content management. User sessions are use for limiting records, record update, attribute deletion, etc. If for any reason a repository is unloaded, the user session will become invalid.
