Hi Ronald,
Welcome to MDM. Harmonization is the syndication of Enriched data to other SAP or Non-SAP systems from MDM.After the Import of your records from other systems into MDM if any cleansing, deduplication, addition is done to the data that's called as Enrichment to the data. The process of sending (syndicating) this Enriched data to other is called Harmonization.
I hope you managed to import the data from ERP and CRM through Import manager or MDIS. If you have used MDIS to import the data then you should have used PI/XI as a middleware.
Likewise when you want to syndicate (send) data from MDM to other systems you have to use Syndicator. PI acts as a middleware that will facilitate MDM to talk to other systems.
1.you have to create a remote system in Console, 2.maps in Syndicator according to that remote system's requirement and then 3. the Port for this particular map in Console. After creating all this you have to provide the following configuration details to PI.
MDM Server: |
MDM Repository: |
Repository User: |
Repository Passcode: |
Port Code: |
Remote System Code: |
DBMS Server: |
DBMS Type : |
After the configuration is over in PI, there happens a handshake in ready folders for the records to be sent to the other systems. For a brief understanding you can refer to MDM Syndicator record @http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwmdm71/helpdata/en/4b/711def8a722593e10000000a42189b/MDMSyndicator71.pdf
And there are many other good documents available in SDN.
