Summary


In this chapter, we have achieved the installation of a fresh copy of Master Data Services and have learned the following key points along the way:

  • Installation planning is helpful in order to design how the various components of Master Data Services should interact with one another

  • The actual installation of Master Data Services is relatively simple

  • The configuration process is more complex and is carried out by the Master Data Services Configuration Tool, focusing on database settings and web configuration

  • Sample models ship with the product in the form of *.pkg files and can be installed through Master Data Manager

In the next chapter, we will look in detail at Master Data Manager and start building and customizing our own models.
