How do I perform an initial load of existing financial master data into an MDG Hub for MDG-F?
Use MDMGX in the source SAP ECC/S/4HANA system to extract the existing financial master data to XML, move the XML files to a directory reachable by the MDG Hub, and import them with DIF so the system creates a change request that is then processed through the MDG workflow.

Use **MDMGX** in the source/client system to extract existing financial master data from SAP ECC or SAP S/4HANA as XML, then place the XML files in a source directory accessible to the MDG Hub and import them with **DIF** so MDG-F creates a change request for governance processing.
Process flow
- Extract existing accounting/controlling master data from the ECC or SAP S/4HANA source system with MDMGX.
- Generate XML output from MDMGX.
- Transfer the XML files to a directory accessible by the MDG Hub.
- Configure the MDG Hub source/archive directories for DIF.
- Import the files with DIF in NWBC using Data Exchange → Data Transfer → Import Master Data.
- Let DIF create a change request.
- Process the change request through the MDG workflow and activate the data.
Source/client system: Set up Extraction → Start Extraction
Configure and run the MDMGX extraction in the source system.
MDG Hub: logical and physical application-server directory mapping
Map the DIF source and archive directories to the application server.
MDGIMGMDG Hub: Data Transfer source/archive directories
Maintain the directories used by DIF for inbound and archive files.
CG3ZApplication server upload of local XML files
Upload local XML to the application server when the file is not already there.
NWBCMDG work center → Data Exchange → Data Transfer → Import Master Data
Start the DIF import application and monitor the load.
