Function documentationMonitor Data Transfer

 

You can use this function to oversee the transfer of master data between source and target systems. This function enables you to view a list of import and export runs, to navigate to detailed information about objects within those runs, and to navigate to the logs for a given run. You can access the function through the SAP NetWeaver Portal, the SAP NetWeaver Business Client, or by using transaction DTMONITOR.

Activities

  • You can view a list of runs by making a selection in the Search Criteria section and choosing Search. You can limit search results by entering a number in the Maximum Number of Results field.

  • You can save your common searches by entering the search criteria, entering a description in the Save Search As field, and selecting the Save button. Saved searches appear in the Saved Searches dropdown menu.

  • You can export your search results to a spreadsheet by choosing the Export to Spreadsheet button. The information in this spreadsheet can also be used as export criteria in the Export Master Data application.

  • You can navigate to detailed information about objects within a given import run by selecting the run and choosing Show Details. This opens a screen containing detailed information about the transfer of the objects within the run, including any error information. The screen also contains a breakdown of the transfer status by object and by file. You use this screen to quickly identify files or objects with errors and export information on the objects with errors to a spreadsheet for further examination.

  • You can navigate to the log for a run, by selecting the link for the run in the Run Number column.

Example

John Miller is a master data steward in a company that uses Master Data Governance (MDG) to maintain its material master data. He wants to check the status of his latest import of material records into the MDG hub system.

John opens the Monitor Data Transfer service, enters a combination of his own user and the material object type as search criteria, and executes the search. Since he makes this search every week John saves the search for easy access later. John’s run appears in the Results List, and he notes that the run has completed successfully.

John wants to check the status of the individual records within the run so he selects the run and chooses the Show Details button. The detailed information screen shows that a number of the records were not imported. John exports the detailed error information to a spreadsheet for further analysis.
