SAP MDM-BOBJ Integration architecture

Dear folks,
in one of the solution providing scenarios i need clarification on the architecture of BOBJ and MDM. i have been seeing in the documents that BOBJ server is falling in between source and MDM. However i feel it is more relevent to send a file from MDM to BOBJ and get the data enriched(Data quality) and send back to MDM. That means MDM is falling between source and BOBJ.
please provide some help on this.
Regards
Biswanath

To start with, the [MDM homepage on SDN |Enterprise Master Data Management]currently features a Webcast showing an MDM-BOBJ data quality services integration case, and a How-to Guide dealing with integrating the BOBJ ETL capabilities with MDM.

MDM-BOBJ integration for initial load....

I have attended some demos for the MDM-BOBJ integration that dealt with the on-going creation and maintenance of master data but my question is how this is used for the initial load and enrichment for any master data.
When we used D&B for enrichment, data will be enriched/Cleansed before the initial load then after loading the data to MDM it will be de-duplicated based on the DUNS number .
How the initial load and de-duplication is handled in MDM-BOBJ integration?. For example, I have 100 thousand records and would like to enrich/Cleanse it before loading to MDM OR after loading to MDM.
Any help will be appreciated.

Mike,
Yes, BOBJ dataservices has been extensively used to handle the scenario which you described here.
There is a user guide to explain about the BOBJ-MDM scenarion under Integration of SAP Components with MDM.

hope this helps for Jump start.

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...

SAP and BOBJ XI 3.x Integrated Security Best Practice

I am trying to find any information around SAP and BOBJ XI 3.x Integrated Security Best Practice.
So far i think it is uninversally agred that you should :
1. Utilise the Business Objects platform security model to secure applications, folders and reports.
2. Use BEx queries as the data source for Business Objects Universes and keep the number BEx queries to a minimum
3. Use SAP authorisations over the BEx queries to secure report data at a row level.
Has anyone seen any formal SAP Best Practice document or have any info to add ?
Andrew

Hi,
those three items are all correct. In terms of security you can find lots of material in the standard BW help.
in terms of query design / universe:

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:
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/media/uuid/0030d731-65ac-2d10-6197-d64f34811d94

BW toolbar add for BOBJ Integration for SAP..silent add

I have searched and searched but cannot find the command-line syntax for adding/enabling the BW toolbar in the BOBJ Integration for SAP installation. I need to do this to a few remote PC's. I know how to do this from the GUI..but would like to do it from a command line. Can someone please help?
Thank you!!
BusinessObjects XI Integration for SAP Solutions 12.1.0.890 SP2 Patch 2.9

Due to the patch level you have the easiest way is to first uninstall all BO components and then install them again.
You can use the -w command line parameter of setup.exe in order to record an installation script
eg. setup.exe -w myInstallScript.ini) in which you choose the BW toolbar option
You can use then the recorded script to do the silent installation on the workstation you want
eg. setup.exe -r myInstallScript.ini.
Do not forget to copy the recorded script.
The -w and -r flags work for the BI XI 3.1 and CR 2008 installers (setup.exe) incl. Service Packs and Fix Packs.

Business Object Data Services (BODI) without SAP MDM?

Hi,
From an architectural point of view; do you always have to use SAP MDM when you want to use the Business Object Data Services (e.g. for data validity checks when creating customers)?
Or can you use Business Object Data Services in combination with SAP ECC without MDM?
Best regards,
Marius

All Depends on your business needs.
1) As in if you want to use most effective cleansing (BODS contains inbult infor for Adderess cleansing) along with some data governance(Validation, assignments,MDM Workflow) I would say fo with BO-MDM Integration.
2) Here I am not sure via BODS - ECC you can handle ongoing maintainance , it is supreb for first time data load.
so it is better if you use ECC-BO-MDM ---> BI/ECC for smooth transition through out landscape.
3) Here also try to check the data structure compactiblity between BODS and ECC as per their version, it can also create a big impact.
Hope these points can clear many doubts

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 Vs IBM MDM

There are five standard implementation scenarios:

Central Master Data 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.

History
SAP is currently on its second iteration of MDM software. Facing limited adoption of its initial release, SAP changed direction and in 2004 purchased a small vendor in the PIM space called A2i. This code has become the basis for the currently shipping SAP MDM 5.5, and as such, most analysts consider SAP MDM to be more of a PIM than a general MDM product at this time.

Master data is the core data of an enterprise that exists independently of specific business transactions and is referenced in business transactions. It builds the foundation for the smooth execution of business processes and well-informed business decisions. Master data represents business objects rather than business transactions and is rarely changed over a long period of time. The following objects are among a companys most important master data objects:
● Product
● Customer
● Supplier
● Employee

2.Is it better to have MDM as a seperate server and enable SRM MDM catalog content?
3.We have 2 punch out catalogs for 2 vendors.How to enable the punch out catalog links in SRM 7.0???What is the path for IMG config??
4. We have around 20 internal supplier catalogs .Now should we upload few of the supplier catalogs and then upload rest or can we upload all the suuplier catalogs at once through IMPORT MANAGER in MDM ???What are therestrictions in terms of the no of catalogs or catalog data that can be improted and mapped ???
5.What are additional features in SRM MDM 3.0 catalog in contrast to CCM??
6.The backend master data such as Supplier/Porg etc.....how is that synchronised from SRM to SRM MDM catalog???Is it through some scheduled programs???
7.What is the use of PI/XI in enabling SRM MDM catalog??Why is it mandatory??

9. Where can I find some sample catalog files for test upload?
10.What are the lastest SP for MDM available for integration with SRM 7.0??
11. after price changes from supplier(thru negotiation),are these price changes to be updated manually for indiavidual items/products through MDM data manager or is there any way to automate this delta update for price in MDM???
12.Also maintaining catalog data in MDM for SRM procurement will be a seprate actibity just like maintaing catalog in CCM??
I have gone through the help links but wud like ansers to above ques based on experiences of the forum members...Please provide inputs to my above queries if anybody has worked on MDM catalog integration with SRM 7.0....
Thanks for your time.

HI,
1.With SRM 7,0,can we use CCM oor MDM is the only option???
   You can use any catalogs which support SAP OCI interface.
2.Is it better to have MDM as a seperate server and enable SRM MDM catalog content?
   MDM Server(contents) and AS Java(for UI) are required. Please check the installation guide.
3.We have 2 punch out catalogs for 2 vendors.How to enable the punch out catalog links in SRM 7.0???What is the path for IMG config??
   Same as SRM 5.0. Define External Web Services.
4. We have around 20 internal supplier catalogs .Now should we upload few of the supplier catalogs and then upload rest or can we upload all the suuplier catalogs at once through IMPORT MANAGER in MDM ???What are therestrictions in terms of the no of catalogs or catalog data that can be improted and mapped ???
Yes. You can use Import Manager. No issues.
6.The backend master data such as Supplier/Porg etc.....how is that synchronised from SRM to SRM MDM catalog???Is it through some scheduled programs???
MDM Extractor is available.
7.What is the use of PI/XI in enabling SRM MDM catalog??Why is it mandatory??
Mainly for contents mapping.
8. What are the allowed file types for cataog data upload in MDM???Like it was CSV in CCM...
Any. Even for DB interface is also supported. You see all options when you run import manager.
9. Where can I find some sample catalog files for test upload?
Sample repository definition is delivered. You can manually create 1 entry by Data Manager.
10.What are the lastest SP for MDM available for integration with SRM 7.0??
You can find it SAP Service Marketplace. http://service.sap.com/swdc
11. after price changes from supplier(thru negotiation),are these price changes to be updated manually for indiavidual items/products through MDM data manager or is there any way to automate this delta update for price in MDM???
You can use contract and contract items are transfered to Catalog.
12.Also maintaining catalog data in MDM for SRM procurement will be a seprate actibity just like maintaing catalog in CCM??
Yes. Catalog is just Catalog.

How to handle data quality by using rules defined outside SAP MDM

Hi All,
I have a requirement: There are number of cleansing rules defined in different quality product. I need to integrate that quality tool with SAP MDM. Is it possible to do this? I guess with the help of Java API's!!!!
Can I use MDM enrichment controller here? If yes, than how to use it.
thx,
R.n

Hi R.n
The MDM Enrichment Framework is certainly the best way to answer your requirements.
Please see the Enrichment Architecture guide at MDM Documentation Center http://service.sap.com/installMDM
A recorded demo session at SDS Community Page is available to present such system.
