TDMS - Looking for best approach

Former Member

Good day.

We're trying to successfully implement TDMS to populate our development system / QA system with 1 year's worth of production data. We are currently using a sandbox with a copy of our dev. system as a playground to validate the data.

Unfortunately, after executing a one year scenario, our Functional Analyst have found the data to be corrupt and unusable. All issues point to 2 major problems:

1) Missing configuration (ex: top level Cost Center S group missing)

2) Missing master data (ex: not all material masters transferred)

We were curious what the proper approach to solving this problem would be?

Here is the approach we took:

1) Copy DEV to a Sandbox.

2) Delete all un-nessassary clients

3) Export main client (100)

4) Import main client (config and user master data only)

5) Execute TDMS Time based reduction for 1 year.

We were curious if we could leverage any of the other package types to potentially resolve our issues.

- Shell Creation: Should this package be executed first?

- Master Data and Customizing: Will the master data from this package be deleted by the Time Based Reduction?

Any help would be greately appreciated.

Thank you,

Charles.
