Scenario between MDM & PLM

Hi all
Can anybody help to get some information about scenarios between SAP MDM/MDG and SAP PLM.
Does exist some SAP official documentation that show this scenario?
Thnks!
Jose Luis.

Hello Jose Luis.
SAP MDM doesn't have standard scenario from MDM-PLM integration.
I think, because it depend by production fokus area of enterprise.
We have created PLM solutions to Whirlpool Eur.:
Custom repository in MDM because for PLM need many properties which not use in ERP.
GUI - Rich client and more powerfull WebDynPro application based on ABAP API.
And we don't use integration with CAD systems.

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:

Who can tell me the difference between MDM,BW and ODS

What's the difference between MDM/BW/ODS,and what aspect/domain does each of them emphasize.

Thank Dirk,Anil for your wonderful answer.
After study these docs on sap.com and your reply,I have other questions to ask:
1. If I use MDM as a Enterprise's Data center repository,Is that mean I can give up other database such as Oracle,SQL Server,and build new application or shift those regacy non-SAP applications on MDM gradually,you know,if I retain these DB,I should syncharonize them cautiously,and it can not avoid "dirty data" between heterogeneous systems.
Consider such a scenario,application A request data from MDM to modify,application B request the same data from MDM to query,then "dirty data" happened?
So,I think if I use MDM as center data repository,then I should give up other DB,and these non-SAP systems should reference these data and deal its own business matter.
2.When I implement MDM,Would the data in SAP R/3(such as PM/MM/FI/CO) also be replicated to MDM,then shared to other non-SAP systems?or these data needn't synchronize to MDM?
3.consider such a scenario,I need SAP R/3 data to share with other non-SAP system,besides XI,should I need MDM,using MDM to implement data management and sharing.
4.Dirk has noticed "MDM could also mean Meta Data Model ",so I want to ask if MDM fully compatiable with CIM(common information model) and I can create complex objected-oriented data and mutiple relationship in it?
thanx for your answer again,Best regards
jiansen

Differences between MDM 3.0 and MDM 5.5?

Hi,
Can anybody tell, what are the differences between MDM 3.0 and MDM 5.5?
I heard that, there are lot and lot of changes...
Thanks for your reply,
regrads,
cg

We can look at differences in more than one way:
1. Technology wise
MDM5.5 is developed in C++ & runs on a C++ engine as compared to MDM 3.0 which runs under WAS
However MDM 5.5 is integrated with NW largely, though it can & is planned to be improved further
2. Product Catalog Management
MDM 5.5 has rich PCM capabilities which did not exist in MDM 3.0
3. Other additional capabilities in 5.5
Multilingual support
Syndication of data to XI or file system
Lean, R/3 Idoc based model for supplier, customer, material, employee
4. Ease of installation and usage is a also an advantage of 5.5
You can read Nitza Levi's blog on MDM home page for more details

Network bandwidth requirement between MDM server and MDM Clients

The MDM Sizing document for 5.5 states that 'a network connection between MDM Servers and MDM clients should be at least 100 Mbps'. Is this true? This would preclude MDM being offered as a hosted service. I'm interested in MDM Catalogue for SRM, so the catalogue content managers would need the import and data manager clients.

One factor I noticed, in our project...
I would recommend a 4 GB RAM for someone who is working with Import Manager.
As far as the Network connection goes, I am not sure what the requirements are.
We have faced several issues when the end user's laptop are less than 2 GB.
If someone is working with Image Manager, then I would recommend 4GB.
For bulk imports, I would use Import Server.

Difference between MDM adaptor and File adaptor?

Hello All,
Could any one light on the difference between PI Adaptor and File adaptor?
Thanks
Rajeev

Hi,
>>>Could any one light on the difference between PI Adaptor and File adaptor?
for MDM <= 5.5
there was no difference as file adapter was the MDM adapter
it changed with the latest version as Shabz mentioned

Link between MDM repository & SQL database

Hi
Problem - once i create a MDM repository & rename the repository, SQL database still refers the repository with the old name. How to identify which repository corresponds to which database.
Arvind

Hi Arvind
If you look in your underlying database (SQL Server, Oracle, DB2) you'll find an "A2i_xCat_DBs" database / schema. In here you'll find a table called "A2I_CATALOGS". You'll find the link between repositories and database / schema names in this table.

Need help for asynchr. scenario between 4.6c and XI

Hi,
I need some help with this. We are running 4.6c and now I need to talk to XI 3.0 asynchronously.
I have a situation where I need to send data to an external application.
So: R/3(4.6c) -> XI -> external application (the application is not in our landscape).
It's not required for now to get an answer back from the external application so what are my options?
I want to build my solution around that I will eventually get a response back to be real time but
for now, the FTP adapter should work fine. PCK will be implimented in the future to make it real time.
Just for a test, I tried:
R/3 -- (RFC Adapter) --> XI --> File adapter ... but it's crashing in R/3 since R/3 is expecting
a response back. If I setup two receivers in XI (one being R/3 and the other the file adapter, then it's crashing in XI saying since I cannot have two receivers for a synchronist request.)
I was looking to use an ABAP proxy but from what I'm reading, it cannot be used in 4.6c.
So what are my options? Is it only trough an IDoc that I can communicate out of R/3 to XI if my request don't required a response back?
Thanks
Yves

Hi Yves.
For a 4.6 R/3 system the only possible options are the RFC adapter and the Idoc adapter.
The Idoc adapter is used for async processing (no reponse)
The RFC adapter is used for sync processeing (and will therefore always expect a respons message)
The File adapter also onlu supports async (no response) processing.
There are two ways to solve your problem:
1. Create a Idoc to file scenario
2. Use the sync to async bridge
On help.sap.com you can fing documentation on this scenario:

What is the differnce between MDM 5.5 SP04 and SP05

I do have both service pack versions SP 04 n 05 but what does SP05 offer over SP04 version.

Hi Tejas,...
few noticed things about SP5...
1. Syndicator batch is not available
2. In the console Repositories are always locked...(user id required to login)
3. Console>admin>Connections(earlier it was called Login)
4. You can syndicate thru workflow...
there are few more will keep update...
thanks

Any sort of integration between MDM and a mySAP application such as PLM can be done one of several ways. First, there is the tried and proven method which is to use Exchange Infrastructure as the message broker. The trick with MDM as opposed to most of the other SAP applications is the fact that there is no native ALE, so it sort of has to be treated as a third-party software product in order to integrate using XI. If you are interested in this method, you can check out these two weblogs which don't detail your exact secario, but will give you a better understanding of how to integrate MDM to NetWeaver apps:
1. Either way you go, you will need to configure the MDM syndication server, this blog I wrote should help you with that:
/people/harrison.holland5/blog/2006/11/27/mdm-syndication
2. If you want to use XI as the message broker check out my other blog:
/people/harrison.holland5/blog/2006/12/20/xi-configuration-for-mdm-integration--sample-scenario
The other methods of integrating MDM with PLM is with the two API's for MDM. This of course being the ABAP API and the JAVA API. Check out <a href="https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700004121872006E">THIS LINK</a> (which requires a marketplace login) which provides great documentation on the ABAP API. It has everything you need to get started.
And of course the MDM wiki has a link for more information on the ABAP API:

Discovery Box and MDM Scenarios

Hi,
What scenario's are available on the discovery box ? Especially interested in the MDM stuff : What repositories are loaded, any scenario's like mdm harmonization implemented... )
Thx,
Dirk

Hi Dirk,
The Discovery System uses SAP MDM to store the suppliers and products master data of the CoolCorp company. The supplier and product master data are used by the purchase order business scenario that is part of the box.
We have an exercise, in which we assume that the CoolCorp company acquired another company named SmartComp. As a consequence a new list of suppliers and products needs to be consolidated into MDM.
For purchase order business scenario (http://sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/3aecc59c-0d01-0010-d0ad-b7133a8e49d8)
supplier and product data has been extracted from the backends, mapped and uploaded to MDM.
Of course you have all freedom to realized additional scenarios in MDM on your own.
Hope that helps,
rAimund

IDES model company to test PLM scenarios

Hi Team,
Is any IDES model company available to test PLM scenarios. Please suggest I am from PP/QM background & trying to develope my skills in this area or else suggest me how to start up with.
Thanks & best reagrds.

Hi
You can get every (most of) scenario in IDES-PLM. If you have ATC training material, you can study the exercises as it is. If no, go for generic approach.
