I am a SAP MDM and MM Consultant , want some knowledge about Java

Hi,
JVM means Java Virtual Machine--> If Java is loaded in Calculator then that Calculator
is the JVM which loades the .class files an executes the main method.
Java API are likes Applets and Swing which can be used to create many Java based Forms or
Custom Applications.
Please specify whether I am right or not?

Can someone describe the product history (SAP MDM) and evolution

can someone describe the product history (SAP MDM) and evolution

Hi SasikanthReddy M,
can someone describe the product history (SAP MDM) and evolution
This is what one of the blog says on this:
MDM product was available for the last few years and its last version was MDM 3.0 this product was ABAP based tool with very strong capabilities in large scale data integration and consolidation between SAP systems, the problem with this tool was that it was too complicated for implementation and less strong in the client side.
In order to make it better SAP had to decide whether to invest more development efforts or buy some other product that will be able to provide the missing capabilities, during the quest for this tool SAP found this Israeli company called A2I and their product called xCat. Even though the xCat product was intended for product catalog management SAP identified the grate potential in it both from conceptual and technical point of view and decided to buy it and make it SAPu2019s MDM product.
At first this product was called MDME (MDM Extension) but now it was announced as the MDM official tool by SAP. The MDM5.5 tools is a very sophisticated tool from one hand providing great Data Modeling , data consolidation, fast data extraction , and search capabilities, and from the other hand it is very simple for installation and implementation (both from infrastructure point of view and end user experience). So now SAP has a very strong offering in the MDM world:
Now the lastest version of MDm is MDM 5.5 SP06.
Hope it helps.

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.

Some questions about Java deployment steps and techniques

All my java experience is coding and testing in my local machine (where, of course, a jre is available), but ... when I deploy to other people, they may not have a jre or they may have a different version of it than the one needed to run my application. I've read different stuff online including jars and java web start but still I have many questions.
(1) first one first, Sun contradicts common sense, when it says that i can redistribute my own customized light version of their jre by taking out some files (java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/jre/README). there are two ways for me to get a jre: Way one is by downloading one from Sun, the download comes as an *.exe file and I don't see how I can take files out of it, so do you know how?. Way two would be by simply copying the set of files i choose (according to that Readme) from my current jre installation (the one on my \java\jdk\jre directory), does this make sense?, (if you're under windows) doesn't an installed version of a jre need a couple of dlls plus some new registry entries?, this contradicts common sense, if I'm not wrong, that Readme is a nonsense, but since that readme is at each of us jre installation \java\jdk1.x\jre\Readme, it can't be a nonsense, therefore I'm wrong, therefore the answer is either Way 1 or Way 2, HOW? ... or maybe there's a Way 3?
(2) Say I never read that Readme so I download the jre (as an exe) to bundle it along with my application in a jar ... now I'll give my neighbor either a jar with two exes or two exes jars ... is there a way to make a jar so that two files get executed? ... if the answer is No and I have competition from a second neighbor, then I believe I'm asking my first neighbor to choose my application based on our friendship, that's not reasonable if we are doing business, so Java loses.
(3) Say that my application is a single executable file like this,
class X{
public static void main(String[]$$$){
System.out.println("Console, where are you?");
At this point, say that my neighbor accepted the two executables, he executed the jre.exe and has jre6 in his system, now he double clicks on my X.jar ... it's a console application and jar files are not associated with the java.exe launcher since java 5, but with javaw which doesn't open any console ... how do i make it so a console opens and prints "Console, where are you?" ... do I ask my neighbor-customer to add a couple of lines to his path and open his console and (please) enter java -jar jarfile.jar? ... isn't it too much? ... i hope i'm wrong cause this is kind of discouraging
(4) I've read that by installing a more recent version of a jre on a system that has an older jre (there to help other applications work), I might be causing a problem for the other applications to run ... I guess that's the reason why that Readme kind of encourage to redistribute a "private" version of a jre (one that doesn't come with a java.exe launcher ... any feedback on this?
(5) I'm reading a lot of hype about Java Web Start ... it looks better than the traditional jar/jre deployment ... but setting up a MIME type to *.jnlp, it doesn't come with some free hosting I've checked ... somebody can recommend a free hosting service that allows to set a *.jnlp MIME? (I'll appreciate a suggestion here, cause I would like to test Web Start)... and, anyhow, how you people compare it with the paradigm of the single executable file?.
Thanks. Your feedback is highly appreciated.

...it looks better than the traditional jar/jre deployment ... but setting up a MIME type to .jnlp, it doesn't come with some free hosting I've checked ... OK. You cannot define new mime types, but perhaps the site already has it defined. An easy way to check is to upload 'any old file' that ends in .jnlp and use the [mime type checker|http://pscode.org/mime/] to see what content type it is served as.
..somebody can recommend a free hosting service that allows to set a .jnlp MIME? (I'll appreciate a suggestion here, cause I would like to test Web Start)... I'm pretty sure the Google based sites offer it.

SAP MDM and Informatica ETL as Integration Tool

HI Expert's
We have a Scenario where i want to use Informatica ETL as a Middle ware. Informatica will pull the data from legacy and will post a tab delimited file in MDM inbound folder.
can any one guide me how to achieve this ? what all steps need to be defined at Informatica ETL Level does any one know ?
I wont be using FTP for this activity si is there any other way for this?
Thanks in advance to all of you.
Regards
Praful.

Hi Praful,
You are free to use any middleware as long as it gives data in required format to MDM
It depends what data you want to pull from source system using middleware. for Main table data (records) I am sure Middleware like informatica can place data in MDM inbound folder directly, then you don't need to Make it as FTP enabled. If NOT then you need tomake FTP enabled.
About reference data you need to decide how will you pull that from source system. Since it is not very frequent activity and if you have less number look-ups then even we can prepare data in spreadsheet and pull in MDM. Also check with Informatica if they can pull reference data from source system and place in MDM inbound folder of respective ports. If possible then you don't need to make it FTP enabled.
Having Informatica as middleware will also be helpful to carry your cleasing actvity. Update us on your views.
Cheers,
Rc

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 Implementation Methodology and Architecture

Hello,
I wanted know what are the standard approaches for MDM architecture and MDM Implementation:
MDM Implementation phases:
what are standard phases recomended by SAP?
Architecture:
what are different mdm architectures that an Enterprise can think of?

Hello SudhaViz
SAP MDM can work as independent solution for master data management.
SAP MDM has own servers( MDM Server, Import Server, Sysndication Server, Layout Server, and user application s for server management and master data management.
SAP MDM can work with different RDBMS like as Oracle , MS SQL, My SQL, DB2.
Here is good presentation about SAP MDM and it's business scenarios:

Data Quality Comparison Report across Systems(MDM and BW)

Hi,
I have a requirement of generating a Data comparison report in Excel using BODS. I need to extract data from SAP MDM and SAP BW and do a comparison on the record basis. For example.I take a material 100 record from MDM and same Material 100 record from SAP BW. I have to compare field by field values between these 2 systems.If there is any contingency,I have provide that record as output in Excel.
I think i need to create a batch job in BODS to run this requirement. Could you please tell me the approach of comparing the records in BODS and give the output of the record in Excel.
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Kumar.

Hi,
The steps are :
To read data from BW need to create a open hub detination based on the datatarget where the data is stored.
Read the MDM data to BODS and then in BODS.
Once both the data from BW and MDM are sotred in BODS then create a pioneer report which is based on excel.

Hi Elmar,
I have checked the packages and the XFree86-libs-4.3.99 is not installed. I guess I will have to install it.
Now your question about oracle user. I am not sure if you have performed any SAP MDM installation with ORACLE RDBMS but the installation guide is totally different than the normal SAP inst guides. Indeed someone needs to install separately SAP MDM and ORACLE and in my installation I do not install NetWeaver since it is not mandatory for the testing phase of the project. You can have a look at the guide (it is very poor -no reference to ORACLE details):
https://websmp105.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000271882007E
So the official ORACLE inst gudie says to install the ORACLE software with the oracle user.

SAP MDM Non SAP Systems

Hi Gurus,
I am new to MDM. Can you tell me how to link up SAP MDM and a Non SAP client. How does the data flow from the client to MDM.
Grateful for your help
Regards
Leo Gift

Hi Leo
If you are using a middleware to connect the source & destination, then the file formats supported by middleware will be the limiting factor for data communication. The data from source systems gets converted to the format supported by middeware & then output file from the middleware can be in one of the forms supported by import manager.
Similarly in syndication, the output can be xml or flat file formats.

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 Vs IBM MDM

Hello Experts,
I am new to MDM, and want to know what is difference between SAP MDM and IBM MDM.
Also please provide some good documetation on SAP MDM.
For what it is used, what are the advantages of using it and all.
Thanks,
Suma

hi,
SAP MDM: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. 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.
Advantages of SAP MDM
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
Master Data Harmonisation
Central Master Data Management
Rich Product Content Management
Global Data Synchronization
The IBM View
In IBM's view, MDM is a set of disciplines, technologies, and solutions used to create and maintain consistent, complete, contextual, and accurate business data for all stakeholders (users, applications, data warehouses, processes, enterprises, trading partners, and so on). It's a holistic framework for managing structured and unstructured data that's aligned with business processes and managed throughout the information life cycle
To a large extent, SAPs NetWeaver initiatives are concessions to the reality of heterogeneity. No customer is going to have a completely SAP- or Oracle-based environment. With NetWeaver and Fusion, SAP and Oracle propose to accommodate the heterogeneous data-access requirements of their customers while keeping their bread-and-butter application software at the heart of things.
IBMs middleware vision displaces the primacy of the ERP vendors. Its probably too much to say that customers who embrace Big Blues WebSphere data integration middleware can pick and choose from between and among best-of-breed financial, SCM, and MRP (among others) products for their enterprise application needs. If nothing else, however, IBMs data integration and MDM middleware stack does give customers an alternative to SAP .
However one of the problems with IBMs approach to MDM is that, taken in isolation, it would mean that application vendors would need to completely rewrite their applications to take advantage of the MDM layer. This isnt going to happen, not least because vendors like SAP have their own MDM capabilities.
Moreover, users those do not want to convert to IBM's new multiform MDM offering will have to
negotiate separate maintenance agreements to protect their long-term investments in
WPC (which is WebSphere Product Center is a product information management solution for building a consistent central repository.).
Lastly, users should work with IBM to ensure that the standard IBM three-year
maintenance commitment will continue with the current WPC product, independent of
any move to a single MDM platform.

How to load data from SAP MDM to SAP BI/BW

Hi Guys,
I want to load master data from SAP MDM to SAP BI and would appreciate if some could provide me the step by step guide do the same. I found one of the document which talks about using generic DataSource "0MDM_Generic" but i dont find this datasource in BI content in my SAP BI 7.0 System.
Please let me know if some has already worked on this scenario and have any document.

Synching the data between MDM and ECC

Hi All,
We have been on SAP MDM Central Master Data Management scenario for more then a year now. In the pas we have seen many issues ike - Syndication server failures, idoc failures due to which the data is not 100% in synch between MDM and ECC.
Though we are working on the idoc failure tracking process but my question is this -
I need to create an automated program which runs on a weekly basis finds the data which is out of synch in MDM and FEP and gives me the same. So the logic should be something like this - Pick up the records updated during the last week in MDM, look for those records in ECC. Compare field by field and give me the delta.
Since it is a central master data management scenario hence there are cases in which records are created in MDM but not present in ECC may be because of syndication failures or idoc failures.
Any one worked n a similar sort of program/logic? Kindly let me know your experiences as well in efforts to keep the data in synch.
Regards,
Indraveer

Hello Indraveer
Yes you can do it.
You can configure exchange between ECC and MDM by schedule directly or through PI
or
SAP MDM 7.1 has own API for ABAP, JAVA, .NET. (5.5 for ABAP,JAVA, .COM)
That may be abap transaction or java(.net) application is working by schedule.
more about MDM API you can read here:
