How does SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) handle database storage in flex mode?

In the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG), when operating in flex mode, active data is handled by utilizing tables defined in the SAP MD data model. This means that the system does not limit itself to just temporary or staging areas for active data storage. Instead, it actively utilizes structured database tables that are part of the predefined data model, allowing efficient access and management of the data throughout various governance processes.

This approach enables better integration with SAP's existing data architecture and ensures that active master data is readily available for use in operational processes, reporting, and compliance. The integration and proper structuring of data within these tables are crucial for maintaining data integrity and supporting the governance functions of SAP MDG.

In contrast, removing active data sets after activation or storing active data solely in a staging area would not align with the intended functionality of MDG in flex mode, as this would impede the ongoing access and usage of the crucial data across systems. Additionally, the claim regarding historical data not being allowed in flex mode misrepresents the capabilities of the system, which indeed allows for the management of historical context alongside active master data strategies.
