Hi Jack,

For Demo Purpose,

1.Create few master records in R/3 Servers [ MM(Tcode MM01) /Employee(PA40) /Vendor(Xk01) /Customer(XD01) according to your MDM Repository(For Example "Products").]

2.Extract those master datas from R/3 Servers.

3. You will get the xml file of master datas.

4.Open the import manager and import the xml file into the MDM server.

5.In Import manager ,you need to map the records[Source Fields(Imported records) VS Destination Fields(MDM repository)].

6.Once you imported the record ,u can see the records in the MDM Data manager.

We can Create/edit/Delete those records .

We can merge the records for consolidation purpose.

We can perform Data enrichments process like Validation,Workflow,Assignments..etc.

7.Once cleaned the Master records,it is ready to distribute to R/3 servers.

8.Syndicator is used for sending data back to the R/3 servers

Here also we have to do Mapping against R/3 servers.

Using XI We can connect the R/3 Servers.

Hope u will understand this.

This is very simple example for MDC-MDH Scenario.

For futher learning on how to create a repository/Enrich the mater datas, go through reference documents in the Service Market place.

There are 7 repositories delivered as "business content". You can get them via http://service.sap.com/installMDM (see topic "Installation") - an S-User is required.

HI,

To get repository as told by Dennis download business content from service market place or it will be available in your installation cd.

choose any one repository eg. 55310_MATERIAL,Unzip it so you will be able to see lot of files copy this files and paste into <Installationfolder>\SAP MDM 5.5\Server\Archives.

NOw open mdm console and you can create new repository from this archived repository.

Welcome to MDM, Jack

please have a look at <a href="http://service.sap.com/installMDM">http://service.sap.com/installMDM</a> for a large number of very helpful guides dealing with MDM. You can find the main installation guide which helps you setting up the MDM server. What you probably need is a WinXP 64 machine with some database (Oracle, MSSQL, .... ) to run the MDM server.

Hope this helps

Good look,
