Hi  Masters , what importence of mdm.please answer it

Hi Masters ,
       what is importence of mdm, for cosolodation and master data maintence we can also do in BI, then what is special functionsality for mdm with compare to other i.e BI OR BW.
      actually in as per  netweaver architecture in information integration layer , there BI , BW, mdm . but I dont know about Mdm specialities with compare to BI or BW.
please reply to this when compare to BI or BW what is special functionalities in MDM.
   best answer is appreciated

Hi Surya,
BI or say BW are analytical reporting tools whereas MDM is used for master data management.
Business Intelligence systems are designed to help organizations understand their operations, customers, finance etc. This information is used to make decisions about organizational direction. Poor reports results in poor decision making. The costs can be enormous.
The basic reason the reporting is wrong is that the operational data feeding the analytical engines is filled with errors, duplications and inconsistencies. If the poor quality reporting is to be fixed, it has to be fixed at its source u2013 poor quality data under the applications that run the business. This is the Master Data. The solution to this overarching problem is Master Data Management. MDM is the glue that ties analytical systems to what is actually happening on the operational side of the business.
Basic Need of MDM
1. Consolidation of Master Data
2. Harmonizarion of Master Data
3. Central Master Data Managment
MDM can be used for scenarios like
1. Rich Product-Content Management
2. Global Data Synchronisation
3. Customer Data Integration

  • Please answer, if i buy an iPad and a newer one comes out.

    Say i were to buy the new iPad, and next year a newer iPad comes out. could i return my previous iPad and get the newer one? or what would happen? Please answer!

    no.
    Maybe if you were one of those people that bought a 2 right before the 3 came out and it fell within that 14 day return period. There may have also been cases of people benefitting from a sympathetic store manager, but I can't take my iPad 2 back to Best Buy and swap it out for a 3. THey'd laugh at me if I tried.
    In the same way you can't buy a model 2 TV and then swap it out for free for a model 3 TV a year later.
    There is no 'lifetime free upgrade to the latest hardware' option.

  • What Is Wrong With Java? STILL NOT ANSWERED, PLEASE ANSWER!

    So today (10 PM January 20th), the Firefox Plugin Checker said that my Java version was outdated. I also got a pop-up saying that my current version of Java at the time (Java 7 update 10) had vulnerabilities. So to try and fix this, I went to the Java page and downloaded the update (Java 7 update 11).
    To check and see if my update was working, I went to Java's check page, as well as another page I use. And here I discovered a problem. I got a notification that an old version of Java had been detected, and another prompt to download the current version (which I had already done). So I erased all versions of Java from my control panel, and tried to check it again. And when I did, I got this: http://oi50.tinypic.com/35b6xx2.jpg and http://oi47.tinypic.com/15fg37p.jpg.
    As you can see, both pages tell me that I need to install a missing plugin of some sort. So, thinking this would resolve the issue, I clicked the Install Missing Plugin button. This is what it told me was missing: http://oi45.tinypic.com/302uwbl.jpg. So I clicked next to install it.... and got this: http://oi45.tinypic.com/2cici0x.jpg, which I assume means that the plugin did not install. So I pressed Manual Install... and was lead/linked right back to the Java download page (where it all began, and what doesn't seem to be working in the first place)
    I go to check my plugins again (Just to make sure and also for extra information), and it appears to say that my Java version is current (is that what "Java Deployment Toolkit 7.0.110.21" is? I don't know, I am not good at technology at all. Either way, here is what it looks like: http://oi48.tinypic.com/4kxzz4.jpg). So...if it is current, why is it not working (i.e. I am unable to play games, DO MY COLLEGE CLASSWORK, or play Java-based games)?
    If it helps anything, here is what my control panel looks like in regards to Java right now: http://oi45.tinypic.com/2qlxu9t.jpg Am I missing anything that would make Java work?
    And before anyone says that Java is not essential: It may be that way to you, but I need Java to do classwork for college. Veterinary college.
    So, in short, what is going on with Java, and how can I fix it?
    EDITEDITEDIT: I Have found that I can do my classwork without Java.
    HOWEVER, this DOES NOT mean that the problem is solved or over with. I STILL WANT TO KNOW HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND GET JAVA TO WORK. Even if I never actually need it, I would still like to have a (working!!!) Java version because of two reasons: 1) I would rather have such a program and not need it, than need such a program and not have it, and 2) aesthetics. Sorry to say, but I am very particular about how things look when it comes to my belongings, and the fact that Java is messing up is making me actually stressed. In short, I still want the above issue solved, even if it's just purely for the sake of Peace Of Mind.

    STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN A REPLY. PLEASE ANSWER ASAP, AS THIS IS STILL IMPORTANT TO ME. COME ON NOW, I KNOW THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE ONLINE AND ANSWERING QUESTIONS!!

  • What  are the advantages over sql in pl/sql...can you please answer this?

    Hi,
    what are the main differences between sql and pl/sql...why v are using pl/sql rather then sql...can you please answer this question?

    SQL is used to access the database. PL/SQL is a programming language where SQL is seamlessly integrated. In order to access the database in PL/SQL, you have to use SQL.
    Think of it as two pieces of software, two "engines". If you want to interact with the database, then performance wise it's best to use only one engine (SQL only), instead of two (PL/SQL and SQL). If a PL/SQL program executes a SQL statement, it does a "context switch", i.e. saving its state in PL/SQL before giving control to the SQL engine and vice versa. This is quite fast, but do a lot of them and it is slow, so beware of programming SQL statements inside loops.
    Another way to put it: SQL is a fourth generation language (4GL) where you tell what you want, not how. The software, the optimizer, will decide for you how to process the statement. PL/SQL is a third generation language (3GL), or at least the PL-part is, where you describe how things should be processed. Leading to more code and more control. With every Oracle release, SQL becomes more powerful and the optimizer gets better, so using SQL is increasingly important.
    For complex processing, using PL/SQL is still necessary. But use it with care.
    Hope this helps.

    Rob.

    OK, here is my problem...i leave my ipod classic charging for 2 days and it still has the 'Please wait, very low battery" sign! what should i do? Please answer!

    When you connect the iPod to the adapter or PC, you should see either of these signs on the iPod Screen .
    If you just get
    It may mean that your Adapter is not giving enough juice, because

  • What are the MDM Modes and explain them?

    hi friends,
    What are the MDM Modes
    please explain each mode with examples?
    thanks and regards,
    ramu.

    Hi,
    There are five modes in Data Manager which are as follows:
    1. Record Mode: When Data Manager starts, record mode is opened.It is the primary working view. From here, the content of the data can be
    managed. We perform various operations like
    a. Adding a record
    b. Deleting a record
    c. Searching a record. The search for a record in record mode can be started from the tree view located in the left area of the main window. The search parameters are shown here.
    2. Hierarchy Mode: In this mode, the user of the Data Manager can view and change all hierarchies stored in the repository. The hierarchy table to be edited can be selected here. The tree view displays the tree structure of the hierarchy.
    3. Taxonomy Mode:  The taxonomy determines how records belonging to different categories are defined. Through a taxonomy, an attribute can be attached to a record. These additional attributes are defined for records, which belong to a certain category. An example of this could be personal data, which differs according to the role in the organization, and thus includes additional information.
    The taxonomy mode can only be selected if there is a table of type Taxonomy in the repository.
    4. Matching Mode:  We can define transformations, substitutions, and matching rules u2014 and bundle these rules into matching strategies.
    According to a matching strategy, for example, SAP net weaver MDM will calculate scores for the probability that specific records are duplicates. We can then compare potential duplicates and merge any objects that are in fact repeated.
    In Rules Tab, we set up rules to automate the detection of duplicate master data.
    In Strategies tab, we bundle rules into matching strategies to calculate the probability of duplicates.
    A high matching score indicates that a data entry is likely a duplicate record.
    5. Family Mode: In family mode, all existing records that are already assigned to a category can be subdivided into families. The taxonomy table in which the family definitions are to be stored is selected in the toolbar. Then the family can be selected in the tree view.
    Regards

    Take a look at the troubleshooting steps provided by Apple in this support article:

    Hope those help.
    Your iPod touch will never appear in Windows Explorer, by the way. It doesn't have the "disk mode" that the older iPods did.
