Evaluating SAP MDM

[Former Member]

Hello everybody we are new to SAP MDM and we are evaluating it but we have some doubts can anybody help me with the nexts points:

1.- Can we get SAP MDM wihthout SAP Netweaver??, it's in my understanding that SAP MDM is an application separte from common SAP applications and was not developed by SAP and contains it's own repository and don't run on a WebAS, it's obligatory to get SAP Netweaver to get SAP MDM???.

2.- To connect SAP MDM with SAP R/3 4.6C it's obligatory to use SAP XI as Process Integrator or can we connect SAP MDM and SAP R/3 4.6C by RFC, iDoc's or any other interface like a SAP MDM Adapter????

Thanks in advance for your help,

Regards

SAP MDM Server can run independent of the SAP Netweaver Application server. However if you want to implement Portal iviews for MDM or MDM Webservices or MDM Enrichment architecture you will need the Netweaver application server too.

To answer your second question refer this

Hi Julio,

SAP MDM itself is a kind of platform rather an application, & MDM is one of the component of SAP Netweaver platform, without WebAS and Portal & XI it is difficult to deploy & map the requirement of customer into SAP MDM.
