The following image below depicts the high-level process of system refresh. The export, the cleanup, and the import processes are simplified, automated, and optimized using SID-Refresh™.
Figure 1: System Refresh High-Level Process
SID-Refresh™ exports the target system tables that contain configuration information before system refresh is started and imports them afterward.
The typical task list runs in the following sequence:
The connection-related configuration data is exported as table content for the file system using R3trans.
The database of the production system is copied into the quality system.
The copied system is renamed with the same SID as the old target system.
The contents of the tables that contain information about the source system will be cleaned up.
The connection-related configuration data in the form of table content is imported back to the new target system using R3trans.
When logical system names are duplicated, you have to convert them to have unique IDs again. To convert one or more logical system names to new or existing logical names, transaction BDLS is used.
The Copy SAP system, Rename Cloned SAP System, and Conversion of Logical System Names can be automated using a separate “Automation-as-a-Service" feature in IT-Conductor™ cloud platform. |
In the following sections, you will be quickly introduced to how the exporting, cleanup, and importing processes are executed using SID-Refresh™.
Please ensure all the general prerequisites are met before performing any activities using the tool. |
Below is a list of technical data and configurations that may be exported and imported using SID-Refresh™.
Below is a list of technical data and configurations that may be cleaned up using SID-Refresh™.
Select the number of R3trans processes to use for the export/import. By default, the slider is positioned at 1. The slider in the tool allows you to select the number of concurrent R3trans tasks that you want to run. A maximum of 8 is allowed since higher than 8 does not yield to shorter runtime.
