SAP Netweaver MDM Career

Hello Experts,
I have 7 years of experience in SAP Technical mainly in ABAP, Interface technology with ALE/EDI/IDocs, Workflows.
How best career shift in MDM considering i have not worked in SAP XI or BI and have a very little knowledge of XI.
Is SAP MDM Certification a good option to start with?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Karai,
As rightly mentioned by Deepankar, in additon I would like to mention that MDM certification will be right boost for you to start your career in MDM.
MDM is a tool which involves a lot of integration. There  have been many ABAPers shifting to this field as MDM is a hot cake right now. Myself being one of them.
You can always use ABAP Knowledge in MDM in the form of ABAP APi's.
XI skills is also an added advantage if you know it. However, you will genarally always have XI consultant supporting you in a project.
Here are some links which are very useful for people who are thinking of making a career in MDM:

  • SAP NetWeaver MDM - Project and Bachelor Thesis

    Hello,
    I am a German student of business information systems. I will write my project and bachelor thesis about u201Chow to synchronize and interchange the master data of an existing non-sap portal, with an existing sap erp systemu201D.
    Therefore I would like to use the SAP NetWeaver Platform with SAP NetWeaver MDM. The thesis shall consist of two parts. First, the project thesis shall contain the requirements analysis and the specification. The bachelor thesis shall contain the implementation of these systems. 
    But there is one big problem. Is there any possibility to get SAP NetWeaver for educational propose, e.g. for free or for a free trial? At the download area of the sdn webpage, I found an SAP NetWeaver 7.0 u2013 Java Trial Version. Does this NetWeaver-Version include the Master Data Management Component? Does I need any other SAP-Systems to exchange the Master Data between these two Systems?
    Thanks a lot,
    Christian
    Edited by: Christian Beining on Jun 26, 2008 6:28 PM

    Hi Christian,
    you can get a trial version of MDM as a SAP customer (in Germany via your SAP software distributor). If you have only access to a SAP university system I don't think you will get access to MDM and XI (at least they don't have it at my university). But of course you can ask your professor or SAP representative maybe they can help you. As far as I know all SAP university systems in Germany are hosted centrally in Munich and I don't think that they also provide such special solutions like MDM.
    Doing a similar job in my thesis I can only recommend you to do this project only then if you have definitely access to all needed systems and having some people around with knowledge in additonal needed tools like XI or administration of SAP systems. Doing it all at your own without having SAP knowledge in the important points (system and database administration, software deployment, XI) is not realistic in a 5 month period when you have to build a SAP system landscape on your own in top of your project.
    Hope that helps. BR, bd

  • Configure Sap NetWeaver MDM with Sap Netweaver XI

    SAP NetWeaver MDM communicates with SAP NetWeaver XI by writing an XML file into a directory on a file server.
    Can someone gives me  an idea about the path of this file server? How can I configure it?

    Hi Stan,
    In addition to that Harrison told you,if you want automatic syndication of records ,then you must have to use syndication server.In case of syndication server the path of output file is always fixed and you cannot configure it.Path will be as follows:-
    <b>
    SAP MDM Root Directory\Server\Distributions\<server name> \ <Database instance name>\<Repository name>\Outbound\<client System code>\<Output Port Code> \Ready\</b>
    If u want  scheduled syndication of records(i.e. in batch mode) ,then u can use syndicator batch.And for manual syndication ,use syndicator .Both of these components will syndicate file where ever u want/specify on the file system.
    For more details about syndicator batch

  • SAP Netweaver MDM 7.1 Installation with MS SQL Database

    Hello Experts,
    I have installed MDM  7.1 System on IBM AIX and connected to Oracle database. I have observed whenever we create Repositories MDM Created Table Spaces/ Data files under the one Oracle_SID that is how it should be . Now we had to install MDM  on windows machines using with MS SQL DB. I have installed it and connected to MS SQL Server.
    The problem is when ever we create or copy new repositories it is creating new database for each repository under MS SQL Server, Although we have created a separate SQL Database and mentioned the same name while initializing the database connection.
    Example while connecting MDM For first time to the DB , I have used 4 schema options , Now if i create a new repository it is creating 4 Database instances under MS SQL DB. On oracle it will just create Table Spaces.
    Is there any one who worked on MDM Using MS SQL DB. Is this a problem or This is how it works on MS SQL  ?
    Please help , I really appreciate your help.
    Thanks,
    Ravi

    Hi Ravi,
    As per my understanding this is the standard behavior of MS SQL Database. I think this is how it works.
    Please Refer, Step III>> of this blog where he states that For each repository, there are two databases XXXX_m000 and XXXX_z000. /people/balas.gorla/blog/2006/09/08/change-tracking-in-mdm
    Also refer,  Here it says connect to database for repository.

  • SAP SRM-MDM

    Hello
    We have read installation guide "SAP Netweaver MDM 5.5 SP05", page 22, we want install MDM Connector and MDM Java API, in "installation procedure", it is indicate
    1. Extract the files from the archives.
    The javadoc folders contain an HTMLbased
    collection of documents that
    describe the Java API. Make sure you
    retain the directory structure.
    2. Deploy the SDA files on Web AS
    Java using the Software Deployment
    Manager (SDM). MDM Connector uses
    the mdm4j library as a shared library to
    support generic connection.
    3. Store the JAR files at the standard
    location for the application that uses
    them.
    4. Include the path to the JAR files in
    the class path for the application that
    uses them. This may be an

  • SAP NetWeaver component naming (and numbering)

    I have noticed this week (10-Oct-2005) that a number of the NetWeaver components have been renamed. For example, Enterprise Portal now seems to be called NetWeaver Portal, etc.
    What is the next 'evolution' of SAP NetWeaver component naming (and version numbering)?

    Hi,
    Just to add to my colleagues response. The SAP NetWeaver components are actually going away (they still exist for historic reasons). The new approach will start with SAP NetWeaver 2004s.
    Because of the growth of SAP NetWeaver technology and the reuse of features from one component in another and in new capabilities there is little sense in retaining the components naming.
    Is BI still BI if new functionality means you always access it through a portal for admin and query execution?
    So as the portal needs J2EE, BI will requires ABAP, J2EE, Portals, kmc, and BI from SAP NetWeaver. Is this the same old BI? We don't think so.
    This simply stops making sense to have pigeon holing component names on an ongoing basis especially when you start really blurring the lines between 'components'. They do not work!
    So SAP is now delivering SAP NetWeaver features and functions as IT Practices and IT Scenarios. These replace the component based rollout of SAP NetWeaver. For more information see the SAP service marketplace (http://service.sap.com/netweaver)
    You will still see the SAP NetWeaver 'fridge' slide as this is showing capabilities of SAP NetWeaver (example: BPM and Integration broker). Their will be more and more capabilities added as we add more meaningful groupings of technologies (example of recent ones: SAP NetWeaver MDM and Visual Composer).
    So, in short the component names are going away and being replaced by IT Practices/IT Scenarios.
    I hope this helps,
    Mike.
    P.S. Release numbers also history for SAP as we don't have components - so you will only see SAP NetWeaver release names like 2004s.
