General

In case you want to replicate data:

Either the MDG hub system and the source systems are connected to the System Landscape Directory (SLD) or the BAdI MDG_IDM_GET_LCL_SYSTEM is implemented to determine the local system ID.

  • To verify the correctness of the SLD content run transaction SLDCHECK in the MDG hub and client systems. Ignore the browser dialog box. In the systems check that the message reads: Summary: Connection to SLD works correctly.

  • If you decide to implement the BAdI and not to use SLD, see the documentation of the IMG activity under Start of the navigation path Master Data Governance Next navigation step Central Governance Next navigation step General Settings Next navigation step Data Replication Next navigation step Define Custom Settings for Data Replication Next navigation step Define Technical Settings Next navigation step BAdI: Determination of Local System Name End of the navigation path.

Process

You run the settings for this process in Customizing under Start of the navigation path Cross-Application Components Next navigation step Processes and Tools for Enterprise Applications Next navigation step Master Data Governance Next navigation step Consolidation and Mass Processing End of the navigation path.

Note Note

You can access all SAP MDG, consolidation and mass processing specific Customizing activities using the transaction MDCIMG.
