E2E System Refresh Automation with IT-Conductor enable the feature for SID-Refresh to update the technical data and configuration in SAP systems reducing time and efforts with a 80% automation process and 20% for manual variations for the customer's E2E processsimplifies the process of performing SAP system refresh including the database refresh and PCA (Post-copy Automation). Most SAP customers need to refresh their Quality or Test system on a regular basis to enhance the quality assurance process for the project team. However, this is a complex and long process which typically has to be adapted to each customer’s technology environment and project needs, thus many customers struggle to achieve successful and regular system refresh. IT-Conductor’s end-to-end (E2E) System Refresh Automation reduces time and efforts by up to 80% while minimizing manual processes, errors and dependency on technical personnel.
Product Description
E2E System Refresh Automation is a tool an automation-as-a-service solution created to automate the entire system refresh process from end-to-end. The process of upgrading technical data and configuration of SAP systems is intended to be made simpler, automated, and optimizedpreparation and checks to the actual database refresh, followed by the post-copy automation to restore the quality system’s technical configuration.
Benefits:
Time-reduced in SID-Refresh process and easy provisioning of applications.performing SAP system refreshes
Minimize dependency on scarce SAP technical resources as the process is digitized into intelligent workflows
Get notified when a scheduled system refresh starts, ends, or when an error occurs.
Flexibility to run system refresh, regardless of your system environment composition.components.
Auditable traces of when and how the system refresh were automated
Affordable automation-as-a-service solution which is easily supported remotely 24x7
Approach:
The stages for SID-Refresh are the following:
Provisioning - infrastructure and system provisioning via ITC automation (if non-existent)
Assessment - discovery and distillation of resources
Architecture - design and development stage
Deployment - implementation of design

IT-Conductor SID-Refresh Automation Workflow:
Below is an overview of the implementation, which will be configured and tested by the IT-Conductor team in collaboration with the customer’s technical SME (Subject Matter Experts).
The first step is to initialize the process definition with the pre-defined set-up for the source and target system in IT-Conductor.
...
The process will automatically start the next step once the previous steps are completed and in green. For the ‘Post Copy Step', the process will first Import back the QA Configuration and Start the SAP APP from target system.
