Why would I use RDM?
RDM is used to control drop-down lists within MDM tenants, transcode reference data written into MDM records from source systems, and also transcode reference data as it travels from one application to another within your application landscape.
Similar to an MDM tenant, RDM is provisioned as a tenant but referred to as an RDM tenant. The design and purpose of RDM are to store reference data and reply to transcoding requests. In typical use cases, your MDM tenants subscribe to one or more of your RDM tenants to request code translations. Depending on how RDM is licensed by your organization, other applications in your enterprise may make calls to the RDM tenant for those services as well.
When would I use RDM?
-
Standardize codes and classifications to ensure uniformity in your data.
-
Create and manage hierarchies for organized and structured data relationships.
