Hi Sandeep,

You can use Test Data Migration Server (TDMS) to transfer data from sender system to receiver system.

You have the option of transferring data in reduced form based on 'time slice (TDTIM)' or 'time slice and company code (TDTCC)'.

You can also copy the full data using the 'full transfer for client specific data' for SAP ERP , CRM, SCM, SRM, GTS.

There's no downtime required in sender system for TDMS.

The requirement from TDMS is that optimal number of background and dialog jobs must be available in the sender and receiver system to achieve better performance. Also the hardware should be good enough to support good performanece. You can get more details on this in note 890797.

And the best results are achieved if the data is selected when the activity is minimum on the sender system. This is possible by executing the Data Selection activity during a lean period in the sender system.

You can check further documents and guides related to TDMS in the below link
