Looking for Master Data Management in non-Netweaver environmets

Hello
Based on SAP literature I have read on Master data Management (MDM) ,it is a component of Netweaver product family.
Currently we are running SAP R/3 Enterprise edition(4.7C)  and wish to have some form of MDM  to maintain a consistent view of master data across different landscapes. Theses landscapes span different geographic and administrative areas.
Is there any product either  from SAP or third-party vendors which can offer a solution for MDM in environments such as ours that have not yet switched to Netweaver.
Kind Regards
Mohammad

Hi,
SAP definately offers SAP-MDM soultion. Yet its part of netweaver family but you can buy and install in seperately if you wish not to switch to Netweaver.
Its a myth that SAP-MDM is only for SAP products.
There are multiple input options available and hence it can work for you.
Please suggest if need more info.
Also you can post more questions into SAP-MDM forum.
Hope this helps,

  • Looking for Master data

    Hi Friends,
    can some one tell me which Data source I should use to get the data for following fields from R3
    1. 0WBS_ELEMT- work break down structure element.
    2.0DPM_DCAS -dispute case key
    3.0DEBITOR

    Hi,
    1. 0WBS_ELEMT_ATTR for the attributes (master data)
       0WBS_ELEMT_TEXT for the texts (descriptions)
       0WBS_ELEMT_HIER for possible existing hierarchies
    2. I am not quite sure about this one, but try
      0DPM_DCAS_ATTR and/or 0DPM_DCAS_TEXT
    3. normally 0DEBITOR is a reference to 0CUSTOMER so the datasources are
       0CUSTOMER_ATTR
      0CUSTOMER_TEXT.
    regards
    Siggi

  • Link To Download the documentation for Oracle Master Data Management

    Hi,
    I require to make a hierarchy for Processes in Master Data management.
    Where do you suggest will I get the user guides for all the Softwares in MDM.?
    Thanks,
    Aeron

    Looks like product related question - not a question about the download service which is the topic of this forum.
    MDM suite has a range of products so you need to be more specific when looking.
    You might want to post in a relevant forum category, if one exists for your specific product, such as:
    https://forums.oracle.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=157
    Please do not hijack someone's thread ({thread:id=2354806}) - instead start a new one
    Likely place to look for download (which should include documentation) in this case is edelivery.oracle.com.
    Some docs are also available from:
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18727_01/nav/scm.htm

  • About delta loading for master data attribute

    Hi all,
    We have a master data attribute loading failed which is a delta loading. I have to fix this problem but I have two questions:
    1. how can I find the those delta requests because I need to delete all these failed requests first, am I right ? Master data is not like cube or ods that we can find the requests in Manage, for master data how can we find them ?
    2. Could you please let me know the detailed procedures to perform this delta loading again ?
    Thanks a lot

    Hi...
    1. how can I find the those delta requests because I need to delete all these failed requests first, am I right ? Master data is not like cube or ods that we can find the requests in Manage, for master data how can we find them ?
    Look.....for master data.....no need to delete request from the target..........just make the status red.......and repeat the load.....But problem is that master data sometimes does'nt support Repeat delta..........if u repeat......then load will again fail with Update mode R.........in that case u hav to do re-init.......
    1) delete the init flag.......(In the IP scheduler >> in the top Scheduler tab >> Initialization option for source system)
    2) Init with data transfer(if failed load picks some records)..........otherwise .....init without data transfer.....if the last delta failed picking 0 records.......
    3) then Delta.......
    2. Could you please let me know the detailed procedures to perform this delta loading again ?
    1) Make the QM status red.........to set back the init pointer.......
    2) Repeat the load.....
    After that.........if again load failed with Update mode R.....
    1) delete the init flag.......
    2) Init with data transfer(if failed load picks some records)..........otherwise init without data transfer.....
    3) then Delta.......

  • What is master data management

    i want know clearly abut MDM in SAP.

    Hi naresh reddy  ,
    SAP NetWeaver MASTER DATA MANAGEMENT
    SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management (SAP NetWeaver MDM) is an enabling foundation for enterprise services and business process management -- providing a single version of the truth for customer, product, employee, supplier, or user-defined data objects.
    Working across heterogeneous systems at disparate locations, SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management ensures cross-system data consistency through interactive distribution. It integrates business processes across the extended value chain, delivering features and functions to enable:
    Master data consolidation -- Consolidate master data for companywide analysis and reporting. SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management consolidates and cleanses master data objects from disparate systems. After consolidation, it stores information from different systems in a centralized repository. Related rich content can be included to augment the data store.
    Synchronization and distribution of master data -- Enable consistent data maintenance and distribution to ensure permanent harmonization of master data. Using global attributes, you can ensure that all systems receive the same master data during distribution -- and enrich the distributed data objects with additional attribute values in the target systems. Distribution can be controlled, visible, and traceable, with active status management at each distribution step.
    Centralized management of master data -- Supports companywide quality standards by ensuring that central control of master data begins as soon as the data is created. Centrally created master data can subsequently be distributed to client systems as required using interactive distribution.
    Administration of master data -- Manage master data without custom code. A powerful interface supports administrative tasks such as data exception handling and assignment of role-based access to business processes and information. Data managers use the interface to configure data source merging, business rules, and distribution details to downstream applications.
    Management of internal content -- Collect and centralize all your content -- including parametric information and rich content such as images, paragraphs of text, PDF documents, and organizational intelligence about content -- in an enterprisewide repository.
    Catalog search -- Deploy intuitive interfaces that help you locate items internally, publish Web catalogs on e-commerce storefronts and in supplier enablement programs, and integrate easy-to-search catalogs into e-procurement solutions -- all from a centralized repository, and all at speeds surpassing normal SQL-based queries.
    Print catalog customization -- Disseminate product information directly from a centralized catalog repository to popular desktop publishing programs, and automatically generate fully formatted and populated page layouts.
    Multichannel syndication of product catalog content -- Publish restructured and reformatted extracts or incremental updates of your product catalog content -- and distribute them to trading partners in several delimited text and XML formats -- on an unscheduled or regular basis.
    Business process support -- Enable communication in a heterogeneous environment, and insert master data into other systems.
    Business analytics and reporting -- Leverage synchronized data for reliable analysis and accurate reporting.

  • Error while creating Data Source for master data attributes

    Hi BI Experts,
    Well its been some time for me that I have been part of Extraction in BI.I primarily handled reporting in my last assignments.
    I was trying extraction with flat files in SAP BI 7(new to sap bi 7 but very much familiar with BW3.5) but failed in the activity during master data attributes and text upload in infoobject (say IOSP_Mat).
    Here is the procedure that I did after creation of characteristic IOSP_Mat.I created a source system for flat file followed by data source for Master data attributes, i selected all the parameters correctly.i.e. csv file format, data seperator as   ,
    and other settings, now when i am trying to look at the proposed data in the next tab using Load example data.its not showing the desired result.The columns that I have maintained in Flat File is  MAT_NUMBER and MAT_NAME (with say 100 data in the file)
    same is the result when I am trying to load the text data too columns maintained are
    (LANGUAGE MAT_NUMBER Short Description)(same 100 data).
    now i used to rsa1old transaction  to upload the file using 3.5 version.i created info source for master data/text/hierarchies for  IOSP_Mat
    now when trying to upload it using info package for master and text data,I observe its(the data) not maintained in the characteristic IOSP_Mat.
    When I monitored ,I figured the data has not been even uploaded to the PSA level.
    Can you BI experts tell me the answer for this.
    Thanks,
    Srijith

    apologies to all of you for late response,
    was busy with some other activities.
    I don't remember the exact message,but I remember it was not loaded to even the PSA level.I will try it again and post the exact message.
    Thanks again for your quick response.
    Once again sorry to all of you for my late response

  • Aggregates for master data & Line item Dimension

    Hi i have question
    1     Can we create Aggregate for Master Data?
    2     Can we create Aggregate with Navigational Attributes?
    3     Can we create Aggregate with Line Item Dimension?
    4     How many dimension we can add with how many characteristics in it if we create a new Aggregate

    1 Can we create Aggregate for Master Data? - <b>No</b>
    2 Can we create Aggregate with Navigational Attributes? - <b>No</b>
    3 Can we create Aggregate with Line Item Dimension? - <b>No</b>
    4 How many dimension we can add with how many characteristics in it if we create a new Aggregate - <b>You can create a maximum of 13 dimensions in the cube.You can add as many characteristics for an aggregate,adding many characteristics in the aggregate is as good as having the query fetch data from the Cube instead of the aggregates.</b>
    Aggregates are subsets infocubes derived from the main InfoCube to increase the query performance.You can create as many aggregates you want in an InfoCube.
    For each aggregate,internally dimensions are created based on the selected characteristics.

    Hello Michelle,
    First of all, MDM Admin UI and SRM-MDM Search UI both are in same sca file (SRMMDMCAT20SP03P05.sca) and there is another sca file with API and MDM Connector (MDMJAVAAPI06_2.sca).
    Remember that files name might be change as per the business content version.
    So there are two file which you need to deploy. You can deploy these two file on any Web Application Server (WAS 7.0 and Above) using Software Deployment Manager (SDM) of SAP NW AS J2EE installation.
    For further information about these files, you can refer the SAP Note- 1057316 -- SRM-MDM Catalog 2.0 - Installation & Configuration.
    For checking the successful deployment of these SCA files, you can check with the mentioned below URL:
    http://ServerName:PortNo/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/tcmdmsrmcat~uisearch/MDM_SRM_UI_App
    go to the above link, try to connect with the MDM Server which you have installed. After connecting the MDM Server, Choose your SRM-MDM Catalog repository and try to connect with the user as "Master" with blank pwd. If you are able to login in the repository, it means you have successfully deployed the correct sca files.
    For further details regarding this scenario, you can refer my answer in below thread:

  • Classes in Master Data Management

    Hello All,
    Why Classes are used in Master Data management.What is the Concept of Distribution Class for distributing Master
    Data. Kindly help me to understand the Concept.
    Regards,
    Hazam

    Cookoid
    You comment regarding 'changing the nature of authorisations' is an interesting one because as you have already pointed out and is consistent with the way the product(s) work; you cannot change any more than your SAP credentials allow you to change.
    All that said, quite rightly; the idea of being able to perform mass changes on ANYTHING in your SAP system of record should not be taken lightly and due diligence should be applied in determining who should have such tools and under what circumstances they should be used. Design and testing in QA or pre-production environments is an absolute must and this discipline should be applied with the same level of enthusiasm and commitment as you would any objects that you develop for productive use even if they are LSMW or regular BDC's.
    The product supports a controlled release approach if implemented in a particular way, using centralised license management and workflow controls around the scripts and data templates and workbooks. Scripts can be restricted to particular SAP instances, particular volumes of data, particular transactions, particular times of day/week/month for execution.
    Additionally you have two types of licenses, author/developer licenses and runner-only licenses. This avoids you landing up in a situation where inexperienced users can create their own automation objects, in such circumstances these users would typically only be given a runner license.
    Some customers don't choose to use this governance and compliance approach though and choose to buy only the authoring tools, accordingly they essentially leave the door open to the creation of potentially harmful objects.
    Again exhaustive testing is always recommended. WIth over 1,000 customers globally there are plenty of ASUG member references and you should actually be able to get referrals to existing customers who can tell you how they have introduced and manage controls around the use of the products.

  • Central Master Data Management

    Hi All,
    Can anyone tell me about central master data management ?
    In what way it is difference from consolidation and harmonization?
    I have gone through several documents but i did n't get any idea on that topic.
    If anyone have knowledge on CMDM, Please explain in their own words.
    Thanks
    Narendra

    Consolidation and Harmonization procedures are very different from CMDM (central master data management), however often times CMDM is not very useful without considering the other two as well. 
    Consolidation essentially means creating identity around your master data across your landscape.  More specifically you want to identify duplicate records and merge them into one record.  Harmonization is the process of pushing the new cleansed data back out to your partner systems.
    Central master data management is the process of creating and managing enterprise level attributes in one place.  One common mistake that people make is that central master data management means having one place to create your records and containing ALL data.  This is not correct, MDM focuses on enterprise level attributes.  In other words, which attributes are KPI's, shared across multiple processes in scope, shared across multiple systems, important for reporting, need ultimate quality, etc.  Once you have determined your data model then you begin developing the workflow (if needed) around the creation of master data.  This way you can easily keep your data clean and free of duplicates moving forward following a consolidation and harmonization process.
