Hi Suresh,

MDM XI integrations is must to explore the functionalities of MDM . If the repository used in MDM is standard Business content then we have IDOC structure provided by MDM in the business content .

IN mdm 's side remote system and ports are to be created .

In XI 's side the whole structure have to be created as present in MDM and a target structure for the target system.

I am sending u the URL's of few blogs .Hope it will help u out and will make the picture clear.

Hi Suresh,

Q1. What are the settings require to carryout in MDM and xi to pull the data from MDM to xi?

MDM:

1] Define you remote system in console (Admin Section).

2] Decide the file format to send across to XI. As of now MDM deals with only two fromats (Text(delimited) and XML) during syndication.

3] Define the ports.Refer to following link for detailed information about remote system and ports definition.

[http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm550/helpdata/en/ff/37e4c6857449388ddb6c77f160ac4f/frameset.htm]

Now Ports plays an important role in connecting MDM with external world.Whenever you want to pull the data from MDM . use Syndicator. In this process "Outbound" Ports are used to wirte MDM data (in the from XML / Text file).

XI:

1] Once you have the connectivity between MDM and XI (Ports) , XI receives files from MDM.

2] XI then process this data so that target system should be able to understand.

e.g. If you consider target system as SAP system , it receives data from external world in the form of IDOCS. XI does this job of processing XML files from MDM into IDOCS.

Q2.What are the settings require to carryout in XI and MDM to send the data from XI to MDM?

Its exactly the reverse process. The only difference over here is this time data flows from XI to MDM. So again its XI's responsibility to processs data from target system into MDM understandable form (which is again file). This time MDM "Inbound Port" comes into picture.

Refer to same link for more clarification.

You can even automize the complete process using "MDIS (MDM Import Service)" and "MDSS(MDM Syndicator Service)".

Amol.
