MDG Questions...

[former_member469694]

MDG experts,

I donu2019t know much about MDG. I assume the process will be similar to MDM and that includes consolidation, harmonization & central master data management scenarios. If that is true then, could anyone clarify the following questions?. If not, guide me how MDG works. I am in the process of reading the MDG doc's.

1. In MDG, where is the master data is stored?. Is it in MDM?

2. Is there any architecture diagrams for initial load & Harmonization process?

Initial load

1. How master data from SAP source systems will be loaded?. Is there any specific interface will be in-built with MDG?.

2. How Non-SAP master data will be loaded?. By using file upload to MDG?

3. Is Hierarchies can be build in MDG for example, Profit Center group hierarchies, UNSPSC codes?

Syndication of Master data from MDG to SAP & Non-Sap systems

1. Is there any specific interface is already built for SAP ECC and BW systems?

2. How to syndicate master data to Non-SAP systems? Downloading data in to files then load these data in to non-SAP systems?

Thanks

2. Is there any architecture diagrams for initial load & Harmonization process?

ADB : yes - check link down

Initial load

1. How master data from SAP source systems will be loaded?. Is there any specific interface will be in-built with MDG?.

ADB : yes - specific extractors are designed in the MDG to extract from source and have them in MDM staging area

2. How Non-SAP master data will be loaded?. By using file upload to MDG?

ADB : file upload is supported

3. Is Hierarchies can be build in MDG for example, Profit Center group hierarchies, UNSPSC codes?

ADB : - yes can be done

Syndication of Master data from MDG to SAP & Non-Sap systems

1. Is there any specific interface is already built for SAP ECC and BW systems?

ADB : - there are syndicator interfaces built for any targets with PI as integrator

2. How to syndicate master data to Non-SAP systems? Downloading data in to files then load these data in to non-SAP systems?

ADB : - there are syndicator interfaces built for any targets with PI as integrator

this is Not MDG;s headache - it gives u the data out of its systems how u integrate to 3rd party systems ur effort and idea.

read this for all u want on MDG ! :

MDG is installed on top of the SAP Business Suite.

The master data is stored in your SAP Business Suite system.
