Local client copy for delta changes

[Former Member]

Hello Support,

We have requirement of copying data(local client copy) of last one month. This is a rrepetitiveactivity and has to be done once in every month.

For example, in DEV we have 3 clients 200, 210 clients. They make changes in 200 client and these changes has to be reflected in 210 clients. For changing 1 month data we can't perform client copy with SAP_ALL.

I have an idea that we can perform local client copy using TDMS 4.0 but can we do delta client copy?

So, my question here is

1. Can we perform client copy for specific selected data(by date, for eg last 30days) without deleting existing data?

2. We have step 'Start Deletion of Data in Receiving System' in Time Based Reduction scenario, can we skip this and continue proceed with client copy?

Thanks,

Uday.

Hello Uday,

SAP TDMS Time based reduction package copies the whole of master data and customization data along with the transactional data being filtered based on the Data Slice Date Provided.

SAP TDMS cannot be used for a Delta Copy to copy only a months data keeping the existing data in the system. If the requiremnt is to run every month, you could give an approritate slice date and transfer the whole data again using SAP TDMS which would include the latest one month data as well.

It is not recommended to skip the step "Data deletion in Receiver system" and then execute the SAP TDMS package. This can lead to issue during the transfer.

Hi Uday,

In order to copy the data of last few days (say last 1 month), you need to specify the appropriate data slice date (FROM DATE) in the Time based reduction package.

As Sreejith has mentioned, you should not skip the data deletion step. It might cause inconsistencies in the

receiver system. Also, the data transfer execution will run into issues.

In case you have this requirement, you need to raise OSS message in CA-TDM* component. The responsible colleagues will evaluate the requirement and adress it suitably.
