Cross-Repository Validation/Load

[Former Member]

Assume that in the Product repository we have a qualified-lookup table which contains the Vendor/Pricing for a part.

In this case we have two master objects that are (somewhat)related... like a Purchase Info Record in R3 ERP. The Product and the Vendor (with cost..). Is there an established scenario where the Vendors are loaded in their respective repository and then a 'cross-repository' validation or load can be done to the Product repository. Is there an defined method/API/approach for this?

Hi Tom,

As of MDM 5.5 SP3, we don't have defined methods for cross repository communication.

The only option I could think of is write API's to load Vendors into Product repository by reading the Vendors from Vendor repository.

Let me know if you need any additional information.

Thanks and Regards

Hi Tom,

Go to

https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/instguides

Installation and Upgrade guides -> SAP Netweaver ->Release 04-> Operations -> SAP MDM -> SAP Documentation Center

Look for

1.MDM 5.5 SP03 - Java API Library Reference Guide

2.MDM 5.5 SP03 - COM API Library Reference Guide

You need to have service market place id to view/download this file

Thanks again, Subbu.

Hi Tom,

Another option could be to send new/changed vendors from the Vendor repository to the Product repository using the Syndicator Server and Import Server.

Thanks, Richard... this appears to be the easiest solution w/o a lot of extra engineering.
