Session Recap
Christian Geiseler opened the session with an overview of this new, complementary deployment option. In a nutshell, he covered the following key aspects:
- New offering fully in line with SAP's integration strategy (see also the article about SAP Master Data Governance, cloud edition)
- Availability of public trial version with limited scope to get a hands-on feeling (see also Christian's blog post announcing the public trial)
- Positioning within the SAP Master Data Governance product portfolio
- Benefit of a federated MDG approach (see also Markus Kuppe's blog post about the roadmap to federated MDG)
The participants were very interested and raised a lot of questions. Most of which were answered by the SAP product experts, either verbally or by written replies in the Q&A window. In summary, the 45 minutes were fully packed with content and questions/answers. Let me add a few questions that were raised, but could not be answered due to the limited time, and provide you with some additional links that may help in getting the full picture (and which I had accidentally shared only to the panelists and not to all participants in the call. Sorry for that!):

What is triggering the communication with SAP Master Data Integration, and does this service require development skills?
- SAP Master Data Integration will become the central layer for sharing and accessing master data in any system landscape. SAP Master Data Integration provides APIs to send or to retrieve master data. The communication with SAP Master Data Integration is triggered from the applications. Create, Update, or Delete requests are sent to Master Data Integration and put into an event log, from where the master data changes can be retrieved by the consuming applications.
- SAP Master Data Integration does not require development skills. The underlying SAP One Domain Model supports extensibility.
How does SAP Master Data Integration determine which data needs to be provided for which system?
- SAP Master Data Integration uses the master data orchestration service, which consists of the following key components:
- A maintenance UI for the definition of master data or parts thereof, and their distribution targets and times. This also includes rules, for example, status dependency.
- A distribution runtime used by SAP Master Data Integration service at the time of execution to find out what needs to be distributed where, and when.
- A UI with monitoring and error resolution capabilities.
