Connection to System Landscape Directory
Either the MDG hub system and the MDG client 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 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 Master Data Governance, Central Governance General Settings Data Replication Define Custom Settings for Data Replication Define Technical Settings BAdI: Determination of Local System Name .
Configuration of the Web Service Runtime
The technical configuration of the web service runtime is done according to SAP note 1043195.
