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

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

  • 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:

  • 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 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.

  • SAP NetWeaver 70 - Java and ABAP VMware Trial.part02.rar CRC error?

    HI,
    I've downloaded the file:
    SAP NetWeaver 70 - Java and ABAP VMware Trial.part02.rar
    of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 - Java and ABAP Trial Version on Linux - VMware Edition
    four times and everytime a get a CRC error in the RAR file. Is the file wrong or the download incorrect?
    Regards, Edwin Slee

    Hi Henry.
    I’ve downloaded the file again. Now it is called:
    SAP NetWeaver 70 - Java and ABAP VMware Trial.part02.tgz
    But it is a RAR file.
    As you suggested I open the file with WINRAR 3.61 and select
    Tools -> repair archive
    In the directory a file:is created with the name:
    rebuilt.SAP NetWeaver 70 - Java and ABAP VMware Trial.part02.tgz
    The WINRAR message box reads:
    Detecting archive type...
    ---> RAR

    Searching for recovery record

    When I open this file with WINRAR again a try to extract
    SLES10SP1_Test_drive(2)-s003.vmdk I still get a CRC error, the archive file is corrupted.
    I think the error isn’t due to the download, because I’ve downloaded the file using three different internet connections (8 times now) and all the files are identical, with a CRC error !

  • How to access SAP netweaver development Studio and PDK?

    Hi All,
      I have access to EP server on my machine with super admin role .Is there any way I can acess SAP netweaver Developer Studio and PDK through EP server or I have to install in my local machine?
    Thanks in advance,
    Jasmine.

    You'd want to install the NWDS application locally no matter what (unless everyone has a thin client/citrix connection via dumb terminal). You can however, opt to install a local instance of EP or use a central instance. Here's how I see the two approaches:
    1-install the NWDS on developers' machines and deploy to a development instance of EP
    <b>PROS:</b>
    i-developers can develop locally and only connect to the EP server for deploying/testing
    ii-share development (although not very efficiently) and test each others' iViews etc.
    iii-demo your work online to business users directly
    iv-connect to the corporate SAP R/3 and other ERP systems
    <b>CONS:</b>
    i-you can only use this while connected to the network
    ii-could be slow over a slow/remote network connection
    iii-developers may not be able to do everything on the portal server (may not have super admin access)
    2-install the NWDS on the developers' PC along with a test EP environment
    <b>PROS:</b>
    i-develop and deploy locally, without a network connection, anywhere and anytime, fast and efficient
    ii-enjoy full access (super admin) to the Portal - to be able to test pretty much everything
    <b>CONS:</b>
    i-may not be able to connect to the company SAP R/3 and other ERP systems, unless you're connected to the network and have configured the connections
    ii-not able to get others to test or demo your development without having to port them to a central EP instance
    I think a developer needs every resource they can get, therefore I suggest a combination of the above two scenarios, an instance of EP locally and a central instance of EP for the best of both worlds
