Data Sync Manager™ ERP

The most flexible data transfer tool now available for all mySAP™ ERP solutions

Building on the great success of Data Sync Manager for SAP Human Resources, Data Sync Manager/ERP (DSM/ERP) is a modular product that enables the transfer and integration of Human Resource, Accounting and Logistics data between R/3 systems within a SAP system landscape.

Supporting Your Business Processes

Use DSM/ERP for testing, training, and for debugging production problems on real data in your Development or QA systems, without having to manually recreate scenarios or perform lengthy and resource- intensive SAP® client copies.

DSM/ERP accelerates Upgrades and Support Pack testing: DSM/ERP's built-in technology transfers data across SAP® versions and Support Pack levels without Basis intervention. Select data for on-the-fly transfers according to your business needs for production support, training, and new configuration testing.

Performance and flexibility

Transfer data from the Production system to your Development or QA system via Remote Function Call (RFC) or by file.

DSM/ERP leverages all technology and infrastructure in your SAP® landscape to move volumes of every type of SAP® data with ease and efficiency across systems. Real-time compression, intelligent database reads/optimal selection, and dynamically controlled process distribution result in smaller files and faster transfers with DSM/ERP than with any other method available.

Users may preview and navigate within the selected data before executing the transfer. Users can also run the process in the background or schedule a once-off or recurring transfer with DSM/ERP's integrated job scheduler.

Features

  • Transfer data selectively from all SAP® modules using a process-based roadmap with simple navigation trees and templates.
  • Extend and add business objects and custom tables without coding or consulting.
  • Transfer multiple levels of related objects.
  • Work with any HR Infotypes and any SAP® master data objects.
  • Work efficiently thanks to features such as intelligent number range handling – DSM/ERP automatically renumbers the synchronized object according to the target number range position and updates all references.
  • Transfer a business scenario or a group of objects which logically follow and depend on each other, such as the sales document flow: Sales Order. Delivery. Goods Issue. Billing Document.

Data Integrity and Security

  • DSM/ERP caters for multilevel SAP authorizations and support for user roles permitting different levels of access for users in the organization. Administrators may also restrict the number of objects and the number of parallel processes available for a single copy.
  • The scrambling and conversion logic (including user exits) used by DSM/ERP enable seamless manipulation and protection of source data on the development system. For example, balances affected by transferring portions of records in the Finance module are recalculated to guarantee consistent data and correct results.
  • DSM/ERP prevents accidental data transfer to your production system.

Architecture and philosophy

Data Sync Manager Components

DSM/ERP consists of a generic data transfer engine and user interface that copies the business objects, independent of the SAP module it belongs to. DSM/ERP uses a built-in Business Object Workbench that records the logic for extracting and inserting a SAP Business Object. This provides a generic and flexible way of handling Business Objects and scenarios of arbitrary complexity without the need for hard coding.

Ease of Deployment

Data Sync Manager/ERP is a turnkey solution, hence installing is simply a matter of loading the transports, setting up a default file directory and RFC destinations. No further configuration or consultants is required to get the product up and running.

Supported SAP® software releases

Supports 4.6c, 4.7, mySAP™ ERP 2004, and SAP® ERP 6.0.
