XI impoartance in MDM and SAP core?

Hi Friends,
I am new to the NW competency,Just working in XI.
can any one explain the use and importance of XI in SAP and MDM.
Thanks un advance.
regards
Mc

Hi,
Good.
SAP XI is critical component in NW stack.
Using which we can communicate/exchange data to SAP R/3,non-SAP,BW, MDM and any legacy system and from.
SAP MDM is master data management server. as in our SAP R/3 Customer Master, Vendor Master, Material Master, Etc.
These Master Data we are maintained in conventional way means individual SAP R/3 and non-SAP itself.
However, these Master Data can store in single point source of truth and then distribute to all after consolidating the master record data.
Here you can understand requirement of XI.
First, we will get the all Master Data (ex. Customer, Material, Etc) from Different sources (ex. SAP or non-SAP or DB) using the scenario
SAPR/3---> XI--> MDM (Outbound to SAP R/3 or Inbound to MDM)
Second,
Then we will do the all the necessary things in MDM.
Third, we will syndicate/ distribute the consolidated Master Data to all the Systems using this scenario
MDM-> XI-> SAPR/3 (Outbound to MDM or Inbound to SAP R/3)
I hope this will be very helpful to ALL and rate this as Points
Sincerely,
Bala

SAP MDM field status and SAP ERP field status

Just wanted to understand what are the implications of a field status mismatch between SAP MDM and SAP ECC for Vendor Masters. Further, what happens in a scenario where the vendor master data is changed directly in SAP ECC. I am presuming that both systems will not be in sync as the MDM system talks one way and updates the SAP ECC system. Or is there a feasibility whereby any change carried out in SAP ECC is also routed back to SAP MDM.

Hi,
Basically MDM is implemented in order to maintain Master Data at single location, such that control can be incorporate in flow of Master Data.
Thus it is recommended that master data should be changed or created in MDM itself and than syndicated to other systems.
But in case Master Data need to be changed in ECC, MDM ABAP API's can be used to update data in MDM Repositories directly from ECC so that Master Data remains in Sync.
(Using MDM ABAP APIs, code can e developed in ECC to update fields in MDM.)

Data Quality Comparison Report across Systems(MDM and BW)

Hi,
I have a requirement of generating a Data comparison report in Excel using BODS. I need to extract data from SAP MDM and SAP BW and do a comparison on the record basis. For example.I take a material 100 record from MDM and same Material 100 record from SAP BW. I have to compare field by field values between these 2 systems.If there is any contingency,I have provide that record as output in Excel.
I think i need to create a batch job in BODS to run this requirement. Could you please tell me the approach of comparing the records in BODS and give the output of the record in Excel.
I really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Kumar.

Hi,
The steps are :
To read data from BW need to create a open hub detination based on the datatarget where the data is stored.
Read the MDM data to BODS and then in BODS.
Once both the data from BW and MDM are sotred in BODS then create a pioneer report which is based on excel.

SAP Master Data Management
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.
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.

Using the Open Catalog Interface (OCI) between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM

Hello ASUG Community.
I'm working on an SAP-MDM project where we will configure the OCI interface between SAP-ECC 6.0 and SAP-MDM. The business requirement will be to punch out to SAP-MDM's catalog from SAP-ECC for expensed items (e.g., no material master record exists in SAP-ECC).
The data that will be returned to SAP-ECC will be purchase price info, material group, short text, & our global SAP-MDM item number.
The question I've been trying to design around is "where to store the SAP-MDM item number"?
I've looked into creating a custom filed on EKPO but now feel that a configured text field will be the best solution from an SAP-ECC point of view (less effort on the SAP-ECC side from a development perspective, no need to regenerate the EKPO table, etc.).
The question I'd like to pose to ASUG is.... Does anyone have experience or an opinion to offer using this functionality? It seems that I will have to code in a user exit or BAdi to insure that the SAP-MDM item numbers are returned to the appropriate text field on my POu2019s. Or can this be done using the standard OCI functionality?
I found OSS note 1347656 which references BADI "ME_CATALOG_INTERFACE" but I'm not sure if this right path to go down or if this would be the correct place to code non-conforming OCI mapping requiremetns.
Any insight would be most appreciated.
Thanks. Sincerely,
Rich Wortmann

I would suggest you create a new field for this as you may require thois going forward for reporting as well. Text fields are difficult to report.
Sorry not sure about the BADI to use.

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

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.

Can someone describe the product history (SAP MDM) and evolution

can someone describe the product history (SAP MDM) and evolution

Hi SasikanthReddy M,
can someone describe the product history (SAP MDM) and evolution
This is what one of the blog says on this:
MDM product was available for the last few years and its last version was MDM 3.0 this product was ABAP based tool with very strong capabilities in large scale data integration and consolidation between SAP systems, the problem with this tool was that it was too complicated for implementation and less strong in the client side.
In order to make it better SAP had to decide whether to invest more development efforts or buy some other product that will be able to provide the missing capabilities, during the quest for this tool SAP found this Israeli company called A2I and their product called xCat. Even though the xCat product was intended for product catalog management SAP identified the grate potential in it both from conceptual and technical point of view and decided to buy it and make it SAPu2019s MDM product.
At first this product was called MDME (MDM Extension) but now it was announced as the MDM official tool by SAP. The MDM5.5 tools is a very sophisticated tool from one hand providing great Data Modeling , data consolidation, fast data extraction , and search capabilities, and from the other hand it is very simple for installation and implementation (both from infrastructure point of view and end user experience). So now SAP has a very strong offering in the MDM world:
Now the lastest version of MDm is MDM 5.5 SP06.
Hope it helps.

MDM and virtualization

Hi there,
for different projects I need different patch versions of MDM running on one laptop. So far I never used virtualization however read in this forum that it is possible. Does anyone have any experience with that? I downloaded a trial of Altiris SVS, but I didn't really figure it out. Does it anyway work with software virtualization (thinstall, Altiris) or do I have to use OS virtualization like VMWare?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Best regards
Christian

Hi Christian,
Inorfer to make the term VIRTULIZATION clear:
Virtualization is a broad term that refers to the abstraction of computer resources. One useful definition is "a technique for hiding the physical characteristics of computing resources from the way in which other systems, applications, or end users interact with those resources.
in MDM this includes
a) making a single physical resource (such as a server, an operating system, an application, or storage device) appear to function as multiple logical resources;
b) or it can include making multiple physical resources (such as storage devices or servers)
The traditional model for deploying SAP MDM has been to use one or more stand-alone computer systems, each of which runs a single operating system. As the power and capacity of individual hard processing cores, network interfaces, and mass storage peripherals has increased, the actual utilization of these hardware components has, in many cases, decreased. An immediate result of this combination is the desire to consolidate more than one software application or workload on the physical server. This practice is generally referred to as
hardware consolidation. To address this desire for efficiency, HP provides a broad spectrum of hardware partitioning and sharing technologies. Grouping hardware components of a physical computing configuration into subsystems or partitions is one approach to hardware consolidation.
Because these partitions contain entire hardware
components, they provide dedicated access to those components. Providing a means of sharing hardware components within a physical server or partition can be
performed in many different ways.
Finally,this partition can be done in several ways and you can find more information about it in the pdf available at [this URL|http://docs.hp.com/en/10015/SAP+VSE1.1.pdf]
[http://www.gcn.com/blogs/tech/40201.html]
I hope it will sufice to hint you about MDM and Virtulization.
Best Regards,
Krutarth

Test/Trial project on MDM and XI integration.

Test/Trial project on MDM and XI integration.
I want to try out a test case scenario where in i would be importing and exporting data to XI (Using XML files i guess)
I am a newbie in MDM integration.
Please help me out with my trial project.
What i already have:
I have MDM system and repository on which i have been learning basic MDM designing a (test)repository of my own.
What information i need:
-What all system requirements (XI system configuration and all) are needed to established. (What all should i be asking the XI and the system admin guys to be able to get the platform ready for me.*
*-The further procedure for actual integration to be done for importing/exporting data as in a real time project scenario

Hi Gaurav,
SInce you want to try a test scenario including MDM and XI, I would suggest you to try
ECC -> XI->MDM scenario
Wherein you can take the data from ECC in the form of IDOCs and convert them into XML.
You can then import the XML into an MDM repository. MDM repository can be a Customer, Material, Vendor etc repository. Hence extract the similar data from ECC.
Kindly follow the steps below:
1) Firstly you will have to extrcat the look-up table data from R3 using MDMGX transaction-
Please follow this link to know about the same:
How to Configure Master Data Management Reference Data Extraction -

https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/012006153200000394732006E/MDM554_GenericExtactor.pdf
2) For loading the main Table Data into MDM, kindly follow the link below, which will guide you to the config/prcoess that will be required for the data to be uploaded from R3 into MDM.
2.1) R/3-XI-MDM (Outbound Scenario)
You will have to extract the data from R3 in the form of IDOCS and then using XI, you will have to convert them into XML format as MDM understands that.
2.2) For the process of Data from MDM back to R3, kindly refer this link below:
MDM-XI-R/3 Integration
2.3) For general info about this scenario, kindly refer this link below:
