Master Data Copy

[former_member533725]

All,

A couple times a year, my company refreshes the SAP ECC and GTS dev and quality clients with production data using Avamar.

When the ECC copy of production is made, all the master data is copied automatically. When the GTS copy is created, the master data does not copy. As a result, I need to run background jobs to transfer customers, vendors and material masters from ECC to GTS. Each time we do a client copy, there are more materials in ECC and this transfer gets longer. It takes days to run.

Why doesn't the GTS master data copy during the backup / restore process?

I'm a business analyst and would appreciate a non-technical answer. Thank you so much.

Hi Julie,

Non-technical answer:

It just doesn't, for technical reasons.

Technical answer:

Probably the data actually DOES get copied, but becomes invisible because it belongs to a different Logical System Group in the target client.

What to do:

Vote for SAP to provide the tools for client copies: Toolkit for GTS client copy : View Idea

Regards,

Dave
