API Architecture

[Former Member]

Hi

We have 2 different User Interface application interacting with same MDM 5.5 SP05 Repository.

These user interface are built using MDM4J.

Is it possible to upgrade one of the User interface to New Java API ?

Will it be ok to have a MDM4J built application and NewJava API build application interacting with the same repository ?

Please let me know if they are any known problems/risks involved.

Thanks

Hi Nathan,

There is no problem using applications written with different API's to access the same repository.

Concerning your question regarding "upgrading" an application from MDM4J to MDM Java API, this will require a rewriting of almost all the functions dealing with MDM data access. There is no simple "upgrade" process since the underlying design of the MDM Java API is quite different to that of MDM4J.
