MDM and SRM Integration

[Former Member]

Hi Team,

We have MDM 5.5 running in our environment and as per business demand we have just completed SRM also.

So now, we want to leverage the features of MDM-SRM so that the SRM system will use the best features of MDM-SRM functinality to maintain Repositories (Catalog data) of MDM-SRM system.

So for this to achieve, how do I integrate or configure MDM-SRM system (MDS1) with SRM system (SR1)? so that SRM system will be able to communicate with MDM-SRM system.

Thanks

Hi Sekhar,

Follow the below steps

Prerequisites

1. SRM Server

2. SRM-MDM Catalog 2.0 installables

3. Web Application Server

1. Deploy the two SCA files available with SRM-MDM 2.0 installable - MDMJavaAPI and SRMMDMCAT on WAS and restart the Portal

2. Access the Config UI by using the URL http://<Server>:<Port>/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM and change the layout as per the requirement. In this you can specify the fields to be displayed for Search, type of UI etc for the particular user

3. Create the Web Service in SRM system and specify all the required parameters. Check SRM-MDM configuration guide from Market Place.

4. Change the Org Plan in SRM to assign the Catalog(web service created) to the SRM users.

5. Login into EBP and select SHOP, you should get the SRM-MDM Catalog link if all the configurations are correct.

Hi Sekhar,

Check the points appended by me.

1. Deploy the two SCA files available with SRM-MDM 2.0 installable - MDMJavaAPI and SRMMDMCAT on WAS and restart the Portal

Sekhar: Where should I do this, in SRM or MDM system?

Jitesh: You need to deploy the SCA files on WAS using SDM (Software Deployment Manager)

2. Access the Config UI by using the URL http://<Server>:<Port>/SRM-MDM/SRM_MDM and change the layout as per the requirement. In this you can specify the fields to be displayed for Search, type of UI etc for the particular user -

Sekhar : Where do i need to execute this URL and what do we achieve with this?

Jitesh: Once you deploy the SCA files successfully, restart of portal will enable this URL with the help of which you can create different views for different catalog users. E.g. You have the requirement to enable Shopping List functionality for some users and for few users there should be only display access. All these configuration are to be made in Config UI

3. Create the Web Service in SRM system and specify all the required parameters. Check SRM-MDM configuration guide from Market Place.

Sekhar: Would you please give me more details on this, Web service is the only way of accessing MDM from SRM system?

Jitesh: Yes, this is the pre delivered web service which is used to access the data from MDM.
