IT-Conductor FLUX

IT-Conductor FLUX™ is an SAP-native Post Copy Automation (PCA) tool designed to address the evolving needs of SAP customers in today’s complex IT environments. Unlike traditional solutions that demand extensive OS-level access, FLUX™ operates entirely within the SAPGUI, ensuring smooth integration with your existing SAP setup and full compliance with SAP RISE deployments.

With FLUX™, IT-Conductor brings you a highly efficient and user-friendly tool that streamlines the replacement of SAP technical data, making it particularly valuable in environments with restricted OS-level access. By using SAP's Background Job Processing and R3Trans technology, FLUX™ delivers robust performance and reliability, making system refreshes easier and more efficient.

How it works?

IT-Conductor FLUX™ operates by importing a transport package into the SAP system, which includes all the necessary components for managing Post Copy Automation (PCA) tasks within the SAPGUI. After the transport is imported, users can access the FLUX™ cockpit to configure settings like package file locations and export/import parameters. FLUX™ simplifies the export and import process using SAP's R3TRANS, ensuring accurate data handling and comprehensive monitoring and logging for transparency and troubleshooting.
