Hi Harmony,

1) Is it based on ABAP Stack / or do we need ABAP System for this ?

You need an SAP NetWeaver AS Java and an SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP. SAP recommend that you use the SAP Solution Manager. The systemu2019s Support Package Stack must be NetWeaver 7.0 EHP1 or higher.

2) How transport can be handled ? from PI to MDM system?

I didn't get you here exactly. If you mean how to transport MDM in the system landscape, then it works as: The deployment of MDM specific transport orders in the current version is done with provisioning the change files to the CTS+ outbox folder defined for the MDM target system, where the MDM administrator has to pick it up for manual MDM deployment.

3) What can we transport ? is it everything or some limitation are there during transport?

With MDM 7.1 the following data model objects can be transported from a source system to a target repository:

1. Tables & Fields

2. Relationships

3. Languages

4. Roles

5. URLs (Web Links)

6. XML Schemas

7. Remote Systems

8. Ports

9. Validations and Calculations

10. Assignments

11. Workflows (new with MDM 7.1)

12. Import Maps (new with MDM 7.1)

13. Syndication Maps (new with MDM 7.1)

14. Matching Rules including Matching Strategies (new with MDM 7.1)

4) Can we transport the changes for repository?

Yes, we can manage the transport changes for a repository using Change Extraction Process. It consists of following steps:

1. Defining a basic reference before starting to perform the data model changes (this basis will later be referenced to extract the changes done).

2.Extracting the changes to a MDM change file (.xml file).

3.With The Change extraction automatically a new reference is created to be able to calculate the next set of changes to be extracted.

For complete details, Please refer the below guide:
