Question:
Hi All,
I find documentations on SAP-MDM, but not enough ... I understand what is SAP-MDM, but i have a question about the Master Data Server (MDS) and particulary about the MDM Adaptors (and/or SAPXi).
I want to know how does he "translate" 2 fields which have different structure. Exemple :
- In the Source system 0COSTCENT is CHAR10
- In the MDS 0COSTCENT is CHAR13
?????????????????????????????????
CONCATENATION/COMPOUNDING
?????????????????????????????????
What is happen exactly in the Adaptators ? Or is it in SAPXi ?
Thank you all,
Best regards,
David.
Answer:
My guess would be that the three additional characters are there to compound the source system of the said costcenter to allow the different machines to speak together.

Thanks for the reply CHC, but I have another question.
If the source system T90 have a cost center like LU12345678, and if the cost center is T9012345678 in the MDS, is it compounding or concatenation ? What is the difference between concatenation and compounding here ? Thank you.
Best regards,
David.
Answer:
Well, remember I was only guessing...
Following me, LU12345678 should become T90LU12345678, that's a first thing.
In this case, I would speak about concatenation as you only have one field ; compounding is with two fields, one compounded to the other.
The aim of this is to say MDS that the source system T90 has some new master data to distribute, because maybe the system T91 is not distributing his new master data to the same set of systems pertaining to the MDS environment.
Again, it's really purely theoriticial view, I maybe completely wrong and I suggest to visis Basis forum.
