Configuring an MDM Repository

This topic describes the procedure to configure a repository to store MDM related content.

After publishing, the MDM models are stored in a repository called MDM Repository. The publishers (spoke and hub) and the MDM service retrieve run-time information of the model from the MDM repository.

An MDM repository can be configured in the following ways:

• Central MDM Repository: In central repository, the spoke and the hub share a single repository and point to the same database. The MDM models in different organizations of Process Platform can use a single MDM repository. The Central MDM repository allows sharing of the MDM repository among multiple number of hubs in various organizations.
• Distributed MDM Repository: For a distributed MDM repository, there are separate MDM repositories for the spoke and hub publishers. If the databases are available at different locations, the publishers are configured to the local databases instead of pointing to the Central MDM repository.

The following steps describe the procedure to store MDM content in the repository.

1. On CUSP > My Applications, click (MDM Admin Settings). The MDM Admin Settings window appears.
2. By default, the Use Central MDM Repository check box is selected. Ensure that the Use Central MDM Repository check box is selected only when you want to store the MDM run-time content in the Central MDM repository.

   Note: If the Use Central MDM Repository check box is not selected, a distributed MDM repository will be created for the model.

3. Click to save.
   
   The information related to MDM is stored in the MDM repository.
