Hi,

We need and an alternative for this and that is how the idea of webservices was proposed. So wanted to know more about how MDM webservices can be used to link Xi directly to MDM so that we can directly hit the tables in MDM

Hi,

As like other webservices, MDM webservice is also based on SOAP and WSDL standard.

So XI would require SOAP adapter to call the MDM Webserice methods to perform operation on Data.

The MDM webservice will use the [Java API |http://help.sap.com/javadocs/MDM/SP06/com/sap/mdm/examples/package-summary.html] to for this data operation.

MDM webservice methods:

Using Java API:

Do you mean integrating MDM..? MDM import manager and syndicator are mounted over the FTP servers, so in order to post and pull data to MDM you need to use the file adapter with FTP protocol.

An MDM adapter will be released as a part of MDM 7.1 late this november, by using this adapter XI can directly communicate to MDM as it does to the other R3 system using a IDOC/RFC adapter. This adapter can be used in PI 7.1 and PI 7.0.

Thanks
