Hi,

Import Manager is basically used to import data in the selected repository.

Initially When you launch Import manager it asks you for repository name,language and username & password(can be Admin or one specified in console)

Then next step it asks you for

1.)Type(type of source file i.e excel,access,port(in case of remote system),ODBC,XML).

2)Remote system(MDM For local desktop or ABCfor client system)

3)Filename

Then you select the source file and destination table.

Then source preview tab you can see the source data ,In partition tab you can create combination of fields for say hierarchy.In Map fields you should map corresponding source and destination fields and values .

In Match Records tab you select the field as per the uniqueness of this field records are imported.selected import action as create for first import.

In Import Status if its ready to import execute import.

Other features of Import manager include pivoting ,reverse pivoting,split in hierarchy,split in multiple fields,convert data values etc.

reward points if helpful

Hi Anil,

Here is the link of SAP Guides

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdmgds55/helpdata/EN/43/D7AED5058201B4E10000000A11466F/frameset.htm

Basically MDM Uses following GUI clients :

1. Console : Where u can create ur Repository( Structure)

2. Import manager : Using which u can import the data in MDM

3. Data Manager : To manage(View/Edit/change) data.

4. Syndicator : To send MDM data to other systems.

Through Import manager u can import Text,XML, EXcel & database files.

The process of the same is given in IMport Manager Guide.

Thanks,
