Data Import from SAP R/3 to SAP MDM 7.1 without SAP PI

Hi All,
I have a requirement to import Vendor Master data from SAP R/3 to SAP MDM 7.1 on a regular basis. What are the Options available for data transfer between these two systems without any middleware(like SAP PI,etc). I checked the SAP Documentation and found the scenarios with SAP PI as middleware.
I have few very basic ideas:
1) Will there be any way for SAP MDM to pick a file from certain location and load the data..
2) Shall I use MDM ABAP API to write a program to connect to MDM Repository and schedule this at regular intervals to achieve the data transfer.
Pls suggest the best design approach..
Thanks in advance.

1) Will there be any way for SAP MDM to pick a file from certain location and load the data..
ANS : No, MDM will not pick up the file, file can be pick up from MDM Inbound folder and send from outbound folder for automize process and for MDM manual Process you can pick up and send file to local desktop, network shared path
2) Shall I use MDM ABAP API to write a program to connect to MDM Repository and schedule this at regular intervals to achieve the data transfer.
ANS : require to write code at ABAP side
so ABAP program will pick or send data file to MDM folder
Note following point
1. Require to write ABAP Program which will pick or send data file to MDM outbound / Inbound folder
2. Require to do some technical setting for ABAP program at SAP side, technical person will help regarding this matter
Note : There are many disadvantage and time consuming procss, monitoring file and it is not advisable to go without any intermidiate software for e.g PI, Tibco
Thanks,

Brief discussion on SAP XI and its' Integration with SAP MDM.

Hi,
I have never worked on SAP XI.
I am discussing it on brief, please give your valuable replies.
SAP XI consists of System Landascape Directory(SLD).
SLD Consists of Business System and Techinical System.
Technical System contains all information about the software
component. The Business System consists of Inbound and Outbound Business
System which are used as logical names for data transfer.
There is communication Channel for Receiver and Sender Business System and n agreement
is signed between Sender and Receiver.
Outbound Interface defined for Business System Outbound and Techical System associated
with the Business System,
Inbound Interface defined for Business System Inbound and Techical System associated
with the Business System.
In SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Directory, we have defined the Integration Scenarios,
Actions, Interface Objects, Mapping Objects, Adapters Objects.
Mapping Object defines the Structure and Value Mapping.
Adapter Objects defines the Adapter program which implements RFC Adapter, FTP Adapter logic.
FTP Adapter is used for XI-MDM Communication.
RFC Adapter is used for XI-ECC Communication.
Integration Repository: Both Outbound and Inbound Interfaces are Mapped with Value mapping and
Structure Mapping inside Integration Repository.
The File Adapter takes the File from the Outbound port of MDM System
and sends it as IDOC to Receiver Business System.
Value Mapping must be done between Sender and Receiver interfaces.
Value Mapping is done by XSLT or Java based program.
SAP NetWeaver XI Integration Server at runtime:
Message Split, Interface Determination, Receiver Identifaction, Mapping, Techincal Routing
and Call Adapter Proccess are done.
In SAP XI 3.0 and MDM 5.5:
Step 1: Create busines system as service.
Step 2: Create communication channel for each business service. If the system can communicate
through different channels, then create all possible channel types if necessary.
Step 3: Create receiver agreement between the systems.
Step 4: Interface determination:
- Here you see for the first time the software component mentioned;
there are some special requirements regarding this software component in relation to the customizing ID mapping.
- To modify this software component, the customer needs to copy the SAP standard delivered software component
into its own namespace. The customer is able to modify to create archives
for the customized ID mapping.
Receiver determination.
Configure an FTP Server on the MDS.
Create a send folder for outbound messages using outbound port(s) for
remote systems(s).
Create receive folder inbound messages using inbound port(s) for remote systems.
This ia all about concept of SAP XI Infractsture and its' Integration with SAP MDM 5.5.

Kaushik Banerjee

Hi Kaushik,
You must be aware of File types that MDM Import Manager can Import i.e. we have XML, Excel etc. Now there are two transactions to extract data from R3
1. MDMGX -
         - For lookup table extraction
         - Output in XML format which MDM can import without using XI.
          - FTP can be configured to put the file in the desired folder which will be then picked by Import Server.
2. MDM_CLNT_EXTR -
          - For Main table records.
          - Output is in Idoc format which MDM doesn't understand hence we need XI in between which converts Idoc file received from R3 into XML which can then be imported using Import Manager or Import Server. For this we need to implement XI Scenario that consists of Source System, Receiver System, Type of Data etc.
Just a basic understanding...

GuruvaReddy

Hi Guruva,
If you are talking about MDM APIs, then you will get them from Service place when you download the complete MDM 5.5 Suite. You need to choose the API which is appropriate to you. MDM comes with 2 different APIs - Java API and COM API as of SP1(The news is.. ABAP API is under development).
Pre-requisite for building applications using Java APIs is basic Java skills.

Technologies related to Sap MDM

Hi folks
I need a suggestion from an experienced guy.
Right now am with Sap MDM technology since 9 months...earlier am in Java
As i want to continue my carrer in SAP.and i feel just a plain MDM is not suffient..as i dont find any requirement on only MDM
Can anyone suggest me what other technologies to be learnt in relative with MDM such that i can get good carreer in Sap.
Points will be given to each suggestion.
Thanks & regards
Lakshmi
Edited by: Nagalakshmi Tirumanisetti on Sep 10, 2008 7:29 AM

Hi Nagalakshmi ,
In a Technolgy like MDM it is very essential to be Technofunctional rather than just technical
It is definitely very helpful and useful to have knowledge of all the netweaver components that integrate with MDM ,but it is even more important to have a sound knowledge on the functional side of mdm like
Material Functional
Customer Functional
Vendor Functional etc
Data related activities like data migartion
Taking up a course or certification on these topics will be time consuming as well as expensive.
And a in depth knowledge o these topics is also difficult to attain and not needed as well.So i basic but clear idea in theses areas will be defnitely fruitful.
Hope It Helped,
Thanks & Regards

SAP MDM field status and SAP ERP field status

Just wanted to understand what are the implications of a field status mismatch between SAP MDM and SAP ECC for Vendor Masters. Further, what happens in a scenario where the vendor master data is changed directly in SAP ECC. I am presuming that both systems will not be in sync as the MDM system talks one way and updates the SAP ECC system. Or is there a feasibility whereby any change carried out in SAP ECC is also routed back to SAP MDM.

Hi,
Basically MDM is implemented in order to maintain Master Data at single location, such that control can be incorporate in flow of Master Data.
Thus it is recommended that master data should be changed or created in MDM itself and than syndicated to other systems.
But in case Master Data need to be changed in ECC, MDM ABAP API's can be used to update data in MDM Repositories directly from ECC so that Master Data remains in Sync.
(Using MDM ABAP APIs, code can e developed in ECC to update fields in MDM.)

SAP MDM == PI== SAP ECC, IDOC posting

Hi,
We are integrating SAP ECC 6.0 with SAp MDM 7.1 SP04 using PI 7.1 as a interface. Scenario is SAP MDM ==>PI==> SAp ECC. I would be creating record in ECC and will be posted in SAp ECC through PI. We will be creating Basic Data (MARA), Plant level data (MARC), Sales Level data (MVKE), and Valuation level Data (MBEW) in MDM. IDOC used is MATMAS05.
Plant level data (MARC) will activate various views in Material master like Purchasing, Sales plant general data, MRP views and accounting views...right
I donu2019t want to activate MRP view but need plant level data i.e. Plant and profit center to populate in MARC table. Means same Material Type but some Materials donu2019t have MRP view activated and some may have alongwith other plant related views.
I tried creating record without passing MRP related fields but still IDOC failed saying MRP type is mandatory. (Which means it is activating MRP view)
Do we have separate IDOC for MDM integration?? Do I need to enhance IDOC??
Warm regards,
Rc
NOTE - This is possible while manual creation as will as through BAPI.

Hi,
Have you checked MDM71_Material_Content.pdf page no 20.
3.3.2 Business Scenario: MDM710_Outbound.
You also need MDM PI content to install and run this Scenario..
Hope it helps if you go through MDM71_Material_Content.pdf
As you said, I tried creating record without passing MRP related fields but still IDOC failed saying MRP type is mandatory
Try passing any constant through PI Message Mapping to inbound IDOC (Receiving System, ECC)
Thanks and Regards,

For sap mdm do i need to know webdynpro abap or java

hi
i want to learn sap mdm, then do i need to have knowledge in any of following languages?
1. webdynpro abap
2.webdynpro java
3. normal java( core java/j2ee )
4. normal abap
thanks
akhil

If you are using ABAP APIs then normal ABAP knowledge will come in handy
If u want to connect your MDM server to a portal system, then Portal knowledge will come in handy
Even the basic MDM scenarios are generally done by using Exchange Infrastructure
so basic knowledge of that is essential

SAP MDM-GDS repository structure

Hi,
Does anybody have any input or knowledge of SAP's direction regarding repository structures for MDM and GDS now that they've begun integrating the functions into the MDM solution the offer?
At present, whilst the GDS Console is basically just accessing data in an MDM repository, it can't be your core MDM product data repository, but rather it has to be a separate one, set up specifically for GDS and nothing else, and thus it needs to be populated separately. I am wondering if this is a long term vision, or just a result of the way the package has been developed and that further integration will be forthcoming.
Any ideas?
Steve

Hello lis716
I'm not recomend working with SAP MDM database directly moreover modify some data at Database level because database structure is close information. (i had expiriens to mass upload users and their roles directly in MDM database, after that operation repository hasn't been started - repair returned a lot of errors and i was very happy when repository has been started)
You can lost important data because database structure may be modify in any time.
SAP MDM provide API for different development platforms as is .NET, ABAP, JAVA, COM.
My suggestion you should use API in your application for connect to data.
Additional information about API you can find here:

SAP MDM and Zycus or Zoomix or Kalido or Trillium

Hi All,
please, could you help me to understand better which is the best enterprise-wide master data management software solution for harmonizing, storing and managing master data over time??
Even if Ill use SAP MDM; I need to cleanse and harmonize MD.
What about Zynapse? Kalido? Zoomix? Trillium??
Thank u in advance
Regards,
da

Hi,
Kalido MDM :
Master (reference) data management is thought as a special form of data warehouse federation(A federated data warehouse consists of a set of data warehouse instances that operate semi-autonomously, are generally geographically or organizationally disparate, but which can be thought of as one large data warehouse).
   However, experience shows that such systems are complex to manage and that, over time,the absence of a common warehouse (a single common source of master data) leads to inconsistency and frequent errors in transactional data.
    Furthermore, such systems generally do not easily lend themselves to being rapidly adapted to new business requirements since they are often dependent upon writing low-level code to effect the revisions.
            The high level architecture for a federated set of data warehouses with integrated data, based on maintenance of master data using a Master Data Warehouse, which supplies
master data to both the data warehouse federation and the underlying source systems.
It is important to note here that the Master Data Warehouse is in effect an operational system since it manages all master data flowing through the organization.
This demands effective processes and procedures for management and ownership of master data.
SAP MDM
Companies striving to accelerate business growth and improve business performance need to innovate and remain flexible to dynamic market forces. NetWeaver provides the ideal platform for enabling such innovation and flexibility. Satyams NetWeaver Practice provides a host of solutions based on the primary user interface (EP) framework, the primary integration engine (XI), the primary data management tool (MDM), and the business process orchestration tool that enable customers to:
     Design, build, and implement new business processes
     Knit together disparate processes and systems
     Develop a unified view of information from every facet of the organization, and deliver it to stakeholders when and how they need it through a dedicated NetWeaver Center of Excellence
SAP Master Data Management (SAP MDM) enables master data on customers, partners and products to be consolidated and harmonized across the enterprise, making it available to all staff and business partners. A key component of SAP NetWeaver, SAP MDM ensures data integrity across all IT systems.
The SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (SAP NetWeaver MDM) component of SAP NetWeaver creates the preconditions for enterprise services and business process management. The functionality represents customers, products, employees, vendors, and user-defined data objects in unified form. With SAP NetWeaver MDM, customers can manage master data and supplemental content, such as texts, PDF documents, high-resolution images, or diagrams in a central business information warehouse.
SAP Master Data Management (SAP MDM) is a component of SAP's NetWeaver product group and is used as a platform to consolidate, cleanse and synchronise a single version of the truth for master data within a heterogeneous application landscape. It has the ability to distribute internally and externally to SAP and non-SAP applications. SAP MDM is a key enabler of SAP Enterprise Service-Oriented Architecture. Standard system architecture would consist of a single central MDM server connected to client systems through SAP Exchange Infrastructure using XML documents, although connectivity without SAP XI can also be achieved. There are five standard implementation scenarios:
Content Consolidation - centralised cleansing, de-duplication and consolidation, enabling key mapping and consolidated group reporting in SAP BI. No re-distribution of cleansed data.
Master Data Harmonisation - as for Content Consolidation, plus re-distribution of cleansed, consolidated master data.
Central Master Data Management - as for Master Data Harmonisation, but all master data is maintained in the central MDM system. No maintenance of master data occurs in the connected client systems.
Rich Product Content Management - Catalogue management and publishing. Uses elements of Content Consolidation to centrally store rich content (images, PDF files, video, sound etc.) together with standard content in order to produce product catalogues (web or print). Has standard adapters to export content to DTP packages.
Global Data Synchronization - provides consistent trade item information exchange with retailers through data hubs (e.g. 1SYNC) Some features (for example, workflow) require custom development out of the box to provide screens for end users to use.
Trillium :
It is basically used for Data profiling.It can be used for data enhancements with certain address masters and other masters avaialble in the box. There is a lot of data quality analysis can be done in Trillium
Advantages of Zoomix :
1.Fast, accurate, automated, self-learning system :
2.No scripting or rule development required Zoomix Accelerator never requires the development of scripts or the manual definition or maintenance of data processing rules. The system automatically interprets data to learn the optimal matching, normalization and classification required for any data domain.
3.Processes all types of complex corporate data Zoomix Accelerator works equally well with product data, customer data, supplier data, financial data, etc. in any language or combination of languages.
4.Rapid integration into existing applications and business workflows The system's integration with daily user workflow provides objective, on-the-fly data correction. Erroneous, duplicated and incorrectly categorized data are repaired immediately, without disrupting routine business functions.

SAP MDM - Staffing Issues

Hi, I'm currently in charge of recruiting for experience MDM people for a Global BW programme, although I'm struggling to find the people. I've been told by a very Senior BW guy that I will struggle and the only place to find the people is within SAP AG! Is he correct? Please help!

Hi Adam,
Since MDM 3.00 is currently in ramp-up, MDM knowledge is basically spread among SAP experts (SAP consultants and consultants from the involved software partners).
Therefore, I'd recommend you touch base with your local SAP contact person.
Kind regards,
Markus
