Master Data Aficionado Workbench is a really cool Windows application that understands the definition of an SAP IDoc, table, or structure.

Today is your lucky day! This page describes the steps for installing MDA Workbench.

License File

You may freely install and use MDA Workbench.

Prerequisites

If you're installing on Windows 10 then you should be able to install MDA Workbench straight away.

  • On older Windows 7 computers, MDA Workbench will prompt and then install Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.1 if it's missing.
  • On older Windows 7 computers, if you encounter an error connecting to an SAP system then you will need to manually download and install Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable X86. When prompted, be sure to choose the file named vcredist_x86.exe.
