Use
In this Customizing activity, you define an enrichment spot and the corresponding enrichment feeder and enrichment adapter classes. You use an enrichment spot to enrich specific parts of data in Master Data Governance using an external or internal service.
An enrichment feeder is an ABAP class which converts data from Master Data Governance format into a format that is readable for the external or internal service. It also converts in the opposite direction so that the enriched data from the external or internal service can be saved to Master Data Governance. To implement the enrichment feeder class you use the interface IF_USMD_ENRICHMENT_FEEDER.
An enrichment adapter is an ABAP class that connects with the external or internal data. The enrichment adapter receives converted Master Data Governance data from the enrichment feeder, and then makes the external or internal service call for enriching the data. To implement the enrichment adapter class you use the interface IF_USMD_ENRICHMENT_ADAPTER. You can create more than one enrichment adapter for enriching the same data in MDG but you can assign only one adapter to a single enrichment spot in this configuration.
For example, the system can validate and enrich address data by using the external service from SAP BusinessObjects Data Services. In this case, an enrichment spot defined for enrichment of address data specifies an ABAP class as the enrichment feeder. The feeder converts the data from MDG format to SAP BusinessObjects format. The enrichment adapter specified for the enrichment spot then calls the SAP BusinessObjects data.
After configuring the enrichment spots, you can specify at which step during the processing of a change request you want the system to execute enrichments using the Customizing activity Configure Properties of Change Request Step.
Requirements
You have created the enrichment feeder and adapter classes in the system.
