Hi Aleem,

In MDM there are no Tcodes as we use in SAP R/3.

Basis related stuff is to maintain console which has repoaitories and Role and authorization (user and assignment of Roles to user)

MDM has four main component

Console, Import Manager, Data Manager, Syndicator.

Hope this will clarify your doubt about Tcodes in MDM.

Thanks,

Rohit

1- From Basis perspective, if there are no Tcodes in MDM, then, I am wondering, as to how are the respositories and console maintained?

2- How are the roles and authoriations assigned to MDM users, if there is no tcodes and no PFCG?

3- How are these four components mentioned i.e. Console, Import Manager, Data Manager, Syndicator maintained.

4- Does MDM have its own database like APO has LiveCache(MAXDB)?

5- Is MDM integrated with Portal?

6- How do I logon to MDM. Is there any specific URL and port nos?

Where is this information maintained?

7- How do I start a MDM server. Is there anything like SAP MMC for MDM?

8- Where are the MDM configuration files located?

9- Where are the MDM log files and trace files maintained?

10- Where do I troubleshoot in case of MDM system crash?

i.e. Are there any logfiles or traces to diagnose a MDM system crash?

11- What is difference between Console, Import Manager, Data Manager, Syndicator?

What are these above 4 components used for?

Thanks a bunch in advance.

Abdul,

You may be best at this point to start with reading some documentation on MDM.

Reference Guides can be downloaded from the Service Marketplace, if you have a S-user id. Go to the download center and navigate to the SAP MDM documents.

<a href="http://service.sap.com/swdc">http://service.sap.com/swdc</a>

Few other quick comments.

MDM runs on its own server (SQL, Oracle, DB2, MaxDB).

Users and authorizations are managed through the MDM Console.

Respositories are also set up and managed through the Console.

Data Manger is a view of the main database for storing records.

Import Manager/Server allow the importing of record information into a MDM database.

Syndicator is used to pull infomation from the MDM database.

There is functionality to integrate MDM with Portal.

There is also a Publisher component used for print publishing.

Best idea at this point is probably to continue to view the MDM information throughout the Service Marketplace and on SDN.

Some additional e-learning activities can be found here.

P.S.Kindly reward the points, if found problem solved...

Hi Aleem,

Alex has replied all the question raised by you.

Just to add more in that

Console: All types of repositories are maintained here ( Standard are Material Vendor Employee and Customer) . Roles user and authorization is maintained in console . History can be track at console level .

Import manager : By this componenet of MDM we can import file from various source like excel R/3 Port XML etc. System will check here records and pass to the Data manager.

Data manager: Here we can merge the records clenase the records and encrich the records with the help of Validating the data .

Syndicator: This component help to send the data back to destination system. May be same system from where data came or to different system.

Hope this give you some idea about various componenet of MDM.

Feel free to ask if you ahve any docubt.

Thansk,

Rohit

Hi Abdul,

My Ex-Projectmates (Rohit, Alexander) already explained very well.But i have few points to share with you.

1.How are these four components mentioned i.e. Console, Import Manager, Data Manager, Syndicator maintained.

All the MDM Components are working on the MDM Server.

MDM server is connected to the Console. Console is the component which does all the administrative activities.

Activities are Create/Copy/Delete/Duplicate Repository, Create/Delete/Modify User and their right...etc.

Only in Console ,we can see all servers and Repositories.

We can mount and up the Server/Repository (Start the server).

We can create different types tables and Relationships b/w the tables.

Coming to the Other Components(Import manager,Data Manager,Syndicator,Indexer,Publisher..)

Once you connected the repository ,these components will open.

For this we should have up and run server/Repository in the console.

I hope it helps to understand how MDM works.

5- Is MDM integrated with Portal?

MDM is not integrated with Portal,But we can integrate Portal using iViews.

iViews are the predefined Templates which helps user to search the records in MDM repositories without touching any of the MDM components.Even we can Create /Modify/Delete records using iViews.

What is difference between Console, Import Manager, Data Manager, Syndicator?

Import Manager:

We can say,It is inward point to the MDM Server.Using this we can import datas to server.

It does the major role in the MDM.Here only transfer/import the records according to the MDM repository structure.Using the match condition ,datas will be creted/Updated/Replaced in Data manager.

Once Mapping completed ,we can save the map for further usage(If you want import same kind of records in future)

Once Importing is done,we can see the Datas in the MDM Data manager.

Data Manager

We can records in Data manger only.

It allows to edit/Create/Delete records.

It allows to enrich the data (Validation,Assignments,Workflow,Creating hierarchy records,Taxonomies..etc)

It is very rich Tool for Searching.

It has Search Pane,Record Pane,Record Detail Pane and Free Form Search.

Using Search Pane, We can search a particular records under the particular Search condition.For example Product has inner Depth of 23 inches.

Its Search power is the major acheivement in the MDM 5.5.Because it is working on the Table Index.

Look up tables are doing the major role in the Search functionality.

Syndicator

It is Outward point to the MDM.Once Data cleansing and enrichment process completed in the Data manager,the Datas are pure(Without duplicate records).

It is ready to send back to respective servers(R/3).

Using XI we can connect any SAP/Non SAP Server.

For this we will create/Modify the fields according to the destination servers.

Hope it will clarify your doubts.

For further clarification,refer the reference documents...

Best Regards
