Purpose
The main objective of this page is to explain the compatibility between SRM-MDM Catalog, Java API and MDM Server.
Overview
The application SRM-MDM Catalog is dependent on other two main applications or components, which are MDM Server and MDM Java API. The compatibility of these applications is informed in the SRM-MDM Release Notes available in SAP Service Marketplace (Software Download Center):
This document will present how to check the versions of each of these applications and it will also explain how to correct the compatibility in case there is a version mismatch.
Identifying the versions of your applications
You can get this information by accessing the J2EE component info page (http://<J2EE_SERVER>:<PORT>/sap/monitoring/ComponentInfo).
The Component name of SRM-MDM is SRM_MDM_CAT and the Component name of MDM Java API is MDM_JAVA_API.
In order to get the information of your MDM Server, please follow the steps below:
