Operations and Life Cycle

SAP NetWeaver MDM 7.1 – Core Components
Extended Flexibility for Data Modeling and Complex Objects
Support for multi-object repositories
Multiple business objects (=main tables) can reside in one and the same repository E.g. supplier and product data can be stored in one repository Records of different main tables can reference each other (new field type “Lookup [Main]”) E.g. a supplier can be related to several products Main tables can share the same customizing/lookup tables E.g. the main tables “customers” and “suppliers” can be connected to the table “countries” in order to ensure consistent information about the country of origin of both business partners

Support for nested structures
New composite data type tuple allows modelling of nested structures E.g. product capacity information depending on plant and location or multiple addresses of a business partner can hold multiple phone numbers

Further Improvements for Inbound and Outbound Processing Inbound processing
Redesign of XML Import (enhanced usability and performance) Support for parallel import processes for multiple repositories Improved responsiveness during concurrent read and write actions (Write lock optimization)

Outbound processing
Syndication performance enhancements e.g. in regards to parallel syndication Functional enhancements such as Syndication of multilingual attribute values (i.e. value and region)
