Initial Setup of Business Data Orchestration

Initial setup of Business Data Orchestration describes the key steps and recommended sequence for configuring master data distribution, ensuring SAP Master Data Integration prerequisites are completed for a successful implementation.

Before you can start setting up Business Data Orchestration, make sure that SAP Master Data Integration is fully configured. See Initial Setup and Administration for SAP Master Data Integration.

The sections are organized in the recommended sequence of steps that you should follow:

  1. Business System Name
    Business system name defines a unique system identifier used across connected landscapes to ensure consistent object recognition, accurate key mapping, and reliable data replication in integration scenarios.
  2. Configure SOAP Replication
    SOAP replication configuration defines how to enable business partner data exchange via SOAP in SAP Master Data Integration, including activation requirements, database impact, and irreversible configuration constraints.
  3. Connecting Clients
    Connecting clients describes how to establish communication between Business Data Orchestration and master data systems using SAP BTP destinations, enabling model propagation and ensuring proper configuration of credentials, interfaces, and integration settings.
  4. Configure Monitoring (Recommended)
    Monitoring configuration for SAP Master Data Integration and Business Data Orchestration using SAP Cloud ALM to track message distribution across clients, providers, and consumers. This setup enables technical-level monitoring of master data distribution and helps ensure reliable data transfer across your landscape.
  5. Configure Destination Mapping
    Destination mapping aligns the different IDs used for destinations in SAP Master Data Integration with those in SAP Cloud ALM. This mapping enables proper monitoring of master data transfers between clients and ensures log messages are correctly associated with the appropriate client in the distribution model.
  6. Manage Business Object Type
    Business Object Type management enables you to configure data protection privacy settings and create extension fields for master data distribution. Use this to apply business contexts for privacy compliance and extend standard business object data with custom fields.
  7. Manage Distribution Models
    Distribution models define which master data is replicated between provider and consumer systems through SAP Master Data Integration, generating read authorizations and enabling monitoring. Use distribution models to configure master data distribution across your system landscape and establish point-to-point connections between clients.
