Hi Vijay,

Standard Business Package is use to provide interaction between MDM Server and the Portal. It consists of MDM iViews like Item Detail iView (allows to create,edit and delete the records) , Resultset iView (Displays the records, allows to add the records in workflows etc), Search iViews (for searching)i.e. Data Manager functionality.

Java API are used when you need some functionality that standard MDM iViews dont have.MDM Java API consists of set of classes and interfaces with the help of which customization can be done.

Hi Vijay,

When you install SAP MDM Business package,you will get templates to create iViews like Search,resultset,item details with create,edit,delete options etc for custom repository.Also you can find standard content under Content Administration->content provided by SAP->Specialist->MDM application in portal.

.

If these iviews are not meeting your requirement then you can use Java API and can build custom webdynpro applications.
