  • MDM studio defines the data entity and master record to be sent.

You can set up the MDM messages manually or with a wizard. This topic explains how to set up MDM messages with a wizard.

You can set up messages to send data in these 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.
