Data Transfer

Data transfer represents a collection of functions and features that enable you to move master data and mapping information between systems and clients. Examples of these systems include existing ERP systems and your Master Data Governance hub system. To transfer master data and mapping information, follow this process:

Export the master data and mapping information from the source system to an XML file. This file rests on your application server.
Copy the XML file from the application server of the source system to the application server of your target system.
Import the master data and mapping information to the target system.

Features

Export master data and mapping information from a source system to an XML file. This file is saved on your application server. You can also use a SOA service to transfer the data. For more information, see Exporting Master Data.
Note
If the release level of your source systems is below ERP 6.05 use the following options for exporting the data:
- For exporting supplier and customer master data from systems with release levels below ERP 6.05, use the existing functions in that release. For more information, see Extraction of Supplier and Customer Master Data (Earlier Releases).
- For exporting business partner master data from systems with release levels below ERP 6.05, use the report BUPA_SEND. For more information, see Extraction of Business Partner Master Data (Earlier Releases).
End of the note.
