Hi Siddharth,

MDM4J was the old jar files which has been shipped by SAP. In earlier, for customization of any user requirement which is not avialable in MDM, In this case, we can use the MDM JAVA API. for using the same, we need to deploy the MDM4J.jar file then we can use.

Now, SAP has replaced the old MDM API file name as "MDM4J.jar" with "MDM Java API.jar".

the only difference between two is that they have added some new jar files to do the specific work with the MDM4J.jar itself. you can find the name as below:

MDM4J.jar

mdm-protocol.jar

mdm-data.jar

mdm-core.jar

mdm-common.jar

mdm-admin.jar

they have removed some old functionality from MDM4J.jar file itself and added so many new functionality with it.

for example: by using old java api, we can not get the password of any user but it is possible by new java API jar file. like this they have added so many new fuctionality which we can perform on the MDM Console and MDM Data manager.

for further info about the MDM JAVA API, you can just refer the following links:

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdmgds55/helpdata/EN/index.htm

in the left pane,go to programming interface, the required java apis documents is there.

All the documentation is available on the MDM documentation center on SAP Service Marketplace:

http://service.sap.com/installMDM

But for this you need valid service market place id and pwd.

Hope this will help you.

Saurabh...
