MDM 321 – SAP Netweaver Master Data Management

Symptom
Saving a record with MDM Item Details iView does not enforce Required property on Tuple fields
Other terms
Tuples, Required, iViews, MDM
Reason and Prerequisites
A field marked as a Required Field in the MDM Console appears with an asterisk in the Item Details iView. When populating fields in the Item Details iView, if values are not entered for those fields marked with the asterisk, a validation error occurs.

Symptom
When using MDM 7.1 SP00/SP01, after making changes to the tuple field for a specific

The result is that when searching for all changes for a specific main table, the change tracking application will not include in its report tuples changes, apart from the record stating that a tuple field was modified.
Solution
To report on the relevent tuple details changes, a separate new [...]
