MDMGX & MDM_CLNT_EXTR

[former_member283645]

Hi all,

Can any one tell me what is the use of Tcodes

MDMGX

MDM_CLNT_EXTR

In which SAP systems we use them and why do we use them?

If these tcodes are used to just extract data and send them to sap mdm, then what is the use of ABAP API concept in MDM??

Kind regards

Dear Eva

MDMGX is used to extract reference data(Lookup table data) from ECC. SAP MDM business content comes predefined with standard package for different master data like customer, material, vendor etc.

When master records flow from ECC to MDM we also need data in the lookup tables first and loading them manually and refreshing them each time data changes in ECC is quite challenging. MDMGX offers loading the reference tables from ECC and also refreshing them in MDM at a predefined frequency.

MDM_CLNT_EXTR is used for loading master records from ECC to MDM. FOr more details refer to the pdf

(SAP Note 1035601)

best regards

Hi ravi,

I am working with Customer master data and i use the predefined bussiness content that is present in SAP MDM (set of tables).

My scenario deals with data from ' SAP ECC -->SAP MDM --> a file '

Should i need to use these tcodes in ECC to send data from ecc to MDM??

If yes, then what is the use of my program(ABAP API) in ECC which is used to extract data from ecc and send them to sap mdm??

Regards

Hi Eva,

These t-codes are to be executed in ECC with proper settings and variants. When you execute them,the out put would be .xml file which u can consume in MDM. You can also automate the process through jobs in ECC.

On the other hand, ABAP APIs are called to execute a program so that an action will be taken e.g saving a transaction,triggering a sent file etc..Also these APIs can be called from any external environments.

Please google on API to know more.

Hi Eva,

The transactions MDMGX & MDM_CLNT_EXTR are T codes used when SAP MDM system is integrated with ECC (R/3) system. To interate MDM with ECC need to do configure it.

By using MDMGX, Lookup data (reference data) can be extract from ECC & pushed to MDM application (automatically) or download data & uplaod manually in MDM .

By using MDM_CLNT_EXTR, Main table data is extracted from ECC & pushed to MDM application.

what is the use of my program(ABAP API) in ECC ???

ABAP API's will be used to perform functions automatically from ECC system rather than manually usng MDM data Manager.

These can also be used to uplaod or update data of any specific fileds in MDM by pulling data from ECC tables.

Hi Eva,

The transactions MDMGX & MDM_CLNT_EXTR are T codes which are specific to MDM & these are used to

MDMGX - To extract the check table data from ECC & send it to MDM (local download or ftp upload directly).

MDM_CLNT_EXTR - Used to extract the master data object as a whole (need to do configurations for the same) & then upload the data to MDM.

ABAP API's will be used to perform some functionalities on MDM but display the same on ECC (For eg calling the matching strtaegies to check whether the records preent in ECC has any duplicates or not).

Hi Eva,

Please see also the [MDM Business Content site on SDN|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/nw-mdm?rid=/webcontent/uuid/2077a6dd-7768-2c10-6b9f-ab8c6e0d0632] [original link is broken];. There, you find more details on the master data and reference data extractors.

Hope this helps,

Hi Eva,

We use above mentioned T codes to extract Master data from SAP ERP system. MDMGX is used for extracting reference data (means lookup table data) and MDM_CLNT_EXTR is used for Main table master data.
