Hi,

The CRM middleware allows the following two methods for replication.

-Initial loads:

Launched manually (tcode R3AS), the objects (customizing or business) are replicated between SRM and R/3, according to the filters you've put on the object (R3AC1 for Business objects like MATERIAL, R3AC3 for customizing objects like DNL_CUST_PROD0 and 1).

-Delta loads:

This option is only possible for Business objects, which is the case of MATERIAL.

With this option a daemon is launched between the 2 servers. Every modification made on an object on SRM or R/3 is transfered as soon as this object is contained in the filter retrictions (creation and/or modification). this is done through transaction R3AC4.

Hi,

If you want the replication to be automatic using scheduled job,You can schedule report SMOF_DOWNLOAD with correct variant (MATERIAL).

just to add

for delta to happen

out of the 4 middleware tables you maintain in ECC

in CRMRFCPAR

you should have entry type "D" (delta) for the business object 'material'

other 2 are I & R

I for initial load &

R for request

for request you can use R3AC4

Hi Disha/Dinesh,

Quick question. In case if i setup my CRMRFCPAR table with "D" entry, should n't it take care of delta loads automatically.. I mean,whenever any new material is created in ECC, it should automatically replicated into SRM..

Or should i setup filter in SRM using R3AR2 and then run replication using R3AR4..

Appreciate your inputs.

Thanks
