Set up Connectivity studio for MDM Studio

Use Connectivity studio to define the data to be sent by MDM studio. 

In the integration with Connectivity studio:

  • Connectivity studio defines the master data to be sent from the master data company to the target companies.
  • MDM studio defines the data entity and master record to be sent.

Example:
You want to send item 1001. With MDM studio, you select the item record, release it, and run the message. The Connectivity studio message defines which data from item 1001 is sent to your target companies. For example, you change the price of the item in MDM studio. However, ‘itemprice’ is not defined in the message. As a result, the changed price is not sent to the target companies.

In MDM studio, you can send data in several ways:

  • Internal direct: You send data from the source company directly to the target company.
  • Internal with staging: You send data from your source company to a staging journal. The target company triggers the message to send the data from staging journal to the target company.
  • External: You send data from your source company to an external file format/application.
Some MDM-specific setup is required on your connectors, documents, and messages to get these messages up and running for MDM studio.
You can set up the MDM messages manually or with a wizard.
