Define Technical Settings for All Involved Systems

Send feedback

Before you start mapping your data, you must have defined the business system name for each logical
system in your scenario, including the Central Finance system.

You do this in the Central Finance system.

Prerequisites

Implement the corrections in SAP Note 2223323  .

Identify Source Systems

To uniquely identify the source systems from which you want to replicate data to your Central Finance
system, you must have defined the systems in the Customizing Activity Define Technical Settings for All
Involved Systems.

If you have connected the System Landscape Directory (SLD) to your Central Finance system, you will be
able to choose from source systems maintained there when you carry out this activity.

For information about the System Landscape Directory, see below.

NoteIf you choose not to use the SLD, you must do the following:
• You must ensure that the names of the business systems are harmonized across the entire system
landscape.

• If, at a later point in time, you want to switch to using SLD, you must manually ensure that the business
system names in SLD match the settings maintained in this activity.

Note that changing the business system name will lead to a loss of data in both key mapping and value
mapping.

System Landscape Directory (SLD)

By default, Central Finance uses the System Landscape Directory (SLD) to determine the local business
system. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the relationship between the logical system and the business
system in SLD and access to SLD has to be configured correctly.

To do this you must do the following:

1. Set up access to SLD from Central Finance System using transaction SLDAPICUST.

2. Maintain business systems in SLD using transaction SLDHTMLGUI.

For more information about using SLD, see the documentation on the SAP Help Portal.

Identify the Central Finance System

To uniquely identify the Central Finance system, you must either:

• A: Connect your Central Finance system to the System Landscape Directory as described above

or
• B: Define the Central Finance system in the Customizing activity Define Technical Settings for All
Involved Systems

and also

Implement the BAdI Determination of Local System Name (Customizing for MDG under Cross

Application Components  Processes and Tools for Enterprise Applications  Master Data
Governance  Central Governance  General Settings  Data Replication  Define Custom Settings for
Data Replication  Define Technical Settings  BAdI: Determination of Local System Name)

To implement option B:

1. Define your Central Finance system in the Customizing activity Define Technical Settings for All
Involved Systems.

2. Implement the corrections in SAP note 2224396  . This will provide the updated example coding for step
3.

3. Carry out the IMG-activity BAdI: Determination of Local System Name in order to create the BAdI
implementation for BAdI MDG_IDM_GET_LCL_SYSTEM of enhancement spot MDG_ID_MAPPING_API. Use
the example implementation as described in SAP Note 1623262  . This will cause the system to
determine the local business system by the local logical system via the configuration table maintained in
the Customizing activity Define Technical Settings for All Involved Systems.

Note
If you implement SAP Note 2223323  , the value help for business systems in key mapping will use the
entries that you have defined the Customizing activity Define Technical Settings for All Involved
Systems.

This works only if SLD is not connected. If SLD is connected, business systems will be looked up there.
