Transfer master data such as contacts and products from SRM to MDM catalog

[siowfong_chen]

Hi! We have a client who is not using PI as their middleware. They are using SRM 7 with SRM-MDM catalogue. My question is: do we definitely need PI in order to distribute product master and contract data to the catalogue? When programs such as BBP_CCM_TRANSFER_CATALOG and MECCM are run, is the data passed on to PI automatically? Or do they just generate an XML file in a designated location which we then use to upload to SRM-MDM Catalog? In this case, I suspect we can use other middleware to handle the upload into the catalog?

Appreciate clarification on the above.

Thanks!

Hi,

PI is required. Mapping is executed in PI.

If you do not want to have PI, you can develop custom extractor and mapping.
