MDGF - Data Model:
1. The data created (or modified) within MDG exists in two states,
a) Active (approved, in terms of process) and available to be used by processes within client Systems (SAP
ERP most commonly)
b) Inactive data (that is still moving through the approval process) that is persisted in the Staging area
2. The tables, for the Staging area and Active area, are automatically generated from the data model. The MDG
implementer can view data within these tables at any time [SE16].
3. To get the table names,
a) execute the standard ABAP report usmd_data_model [SE38]
b) select the MDG data model, for instance MM.
c) Next screen displays the list of generated table names.
4. Use the physical table names to view data [SE16]
