One of the ways to access data cleansing functionality in the SAP Data Services XI product is through Web services that the SAP product publishes. This chapter describes how, in your Informatica MDM Hub implementation, to set up and use the Informatica MDM Cleanse Adapter for SAP (Web Services) to access cleanse functions that are published as Web services.

This functionality allows you add a new type of cleanse library - an

SAP cleanse library

- to your Informatica MDM Hub implementation, and then integrate cleanse functions in the SAP library into your mappings, just as you would integrate any other type of cleanse function available in your Informatica MDM Hub implementation. Informatica MDM Hub acts as a Web service client application that consumes Web services published by SAP Data Services XI.

If you do not use the SAP Data Services XI cleanse engine, you can skip this chapter.
