Hello Harmony

Different service packs SAP MDM 7.1 supprot the same Syndication and Import map format.

For Import map is updating you can use Import manager

For syndication map is updating - Syndicator

If your syndication and import map have been saved into repository just archive repository from your source landscape and unarchive it in destination.

If your syndication and import map haven't been saved in repository.

Exporting your maps to xml(syndication maps from syndicator and import maps from Import Manager) before migration and importing it to new repository.

According updating(modification) repository structure:

For Import map is updating you can use Import manager

For syndication map is updating - Syndicator

Another way(very exotic) - make changes in exported xml maps.

That's all
