Function documentationGSS: Data Consistency Management Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

You can use this Guided Self-Service (GSS) to select the optimal tools to keep the data in your systems consistent. You can use the GSS for a number of events, such as after a system crash of the database, or to ensure the consistency of your data.

You work in sessions. In a session, you create multiple business processes for which you want to use data consistency management.

Data consistency management helps you select the tools by guiding you from the level of the business process down to the level of individual tables.

Integration

Data consistency management uses solutions to access the systems maintained.

Prerequisites

  • The Solution Directory is maintained for the business processes.

  • The business objects and tables are specified in the configuration.

Activities

The GSS for data consistency management consists of several steps: At each step, you can save your entries and continue editing later. Information about each step is displayed directly on the screen.

The GSS runs as follows:

  1. You select the session to which you want to add objects.

  2. You select the event for which you want to use data consistency management.

    • Technical analysis: Analyze which tools you can use after a system crash before restoring the database.

    • Application analysis: Analyze which tools you can use to check data consistency.

    • CDC documentation: Automate the documentation of existing cross-database comparison objects and instances, and add your own documentation.

  3. You choose the objects for which you want to ensure data consistency. Starting from the event, select the systems, business processes, business objects and tables and add them to a session.

  4. The system suggests the most suitable tools.

  5. Execute the suggested tools.

  6. You display evaluations of the analysis results.

  7. You specify follow-up activities.
