Procedure

Delete Data Models

Create Comparisons Using Data from SAP Landscape Transformation Replication Server
  1. On the Comparison or Comparison Overview tabs, click Mass Processing.

  2. Choose Create Comparisons Using Data from LT Replication Server from the dropdown box and click Continue.

  3. Select the data sources and enter the required data as described under Creating Comparisons.

  4. Enter a prefix for the comparison name. The generated comparisons will consist of this prefix and the name of the compared table.

  5. Enter the RFC destination of the ABAP source system.

  6. Enter the RFC destination of the LT server.

  7. Select a mass transfer ID. This is a logical grouping of tables that are relevant for replication.

  8. Optional: Select the DB connection and the schema of the SAP HANA system.

  9. To include the client field in the comparisons, select the Include Client checkbox.

  10. Select Test if you want to test the mass creation before performing it.

  11. Choose Next. The system lists all the tables available for generation.

  12. Select the tables for which you want to create comparisons.

  13. Review and submit the comparisons to be created.

Create Comparisons
  1. On the Comparison or Comparison Overview tabs, click Mass Processing.

  2. Choose Create Comparisons from the dropdown box and click Continue.

  3. Select the data sources and enter the required data as described under Creating Comparisons.

  4. If you want to map the client, set the Include Client checkbox.

    If you are comparing ABAP-based source systems, the client is not required because the generated or generic extractor handles clients automatically. You may need to map the client when accessing a remote database that contains tables replicated from an ABAP system. This depends on the comparison model and the combination of data source types.

  5. If you want the system to generate extractors automatically for each comparison, select the option Generate Only for Source Types with Automatic Generation from the Extractors to be Generated for Source dropdown list.

    For more information about generating extractors, see Generating Extractors for a Comparison.

  6. In the next step, use the Append Row and Insert Row buttons to enter the tables. Append Row adds a new row at the end of the table, whereas Insert Row adds a new row below the row currently selected.

    Alternatively, upload the tables from a local file.

  7. In step 3, enter the data for your comparisons as described under Creating Comparisons. Each of your comparisons is displayed on a separate tab.

  8. Optional: In the next step, assign your comparisons to a comparison group.

  9. Review and submit your comparisons.
