Best practice data migration templates

Jan_van_Ansem — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 06:44:30 GMT

Hi,

I am looking for the data migration templates for migration to ERP/CRM.

My requirement is slightly different- I am currently not migrating to ERP or CRM but I know these templates are extremely useful as examples for other data migration as well.

I attended a training course about data migration with Data Services several years ago when this solution was just being offered.

The templates for data mapping (Excel files) and the pre-configured Data Services jobs were very complete, robust and easy to use.

At the time, these templates could all be downloaded on SCN.

It looks like this solution is now offered as the Best Practice / Rapid Deployment Solution for Data Migration for ERP/CRM.

The content is available for download, and I have just downloaded a 25Mb documentation file.

This file does not contain the actual configuration files (atl files) or Excel mapping spreadsheets. The complete solution can also be downloaded, but the combined size of the three files is nearly 3GB.

My question is what is the easiest way to get the atl files, Excel mapping templates (and perhaps some documentation about the atl files). Do I really have to install the complete RDS solution or is there a shortcut?

Thanks,

Jan.

Hello

I think the large download you mention above contains the rapid deployment of Data Services. The content you require can be downloaded from the SAP Software Download Center -

http://service.sap.com/~form/handler?_APP=00200682500000001943&_EVENT=DISPHIER&HEADER=N&FUNCTIONBAR=N&EVENT=TREE&TMPL=INTRO_SWDC_IU_PSP&V=INST&TA=ACTUAL&

Select Rapid data migration to SAP ERP and SAP CRM.

This link will take you to the landing page of the solution, which also contains links to the content (under solution deployment on the left hand side) - https://websmp103.sap-ag.de/rds-dm2erpcrm.

Hi Michael,

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction I had another look after you replied to my post and was able to find some of what I was after.

One of the documents I was after is the job description for the different ERP objects, which I now found.

(Implementation options > accelerators > ERP Manual Activation > Content library)

I am still looking for the atl files though. There is a reference to a SAP note containing a quick guide for manual installation (note 1791183). This note / guide does mention the atl files, and they are supposedly being delivered in a ZIP file with the name

"SAPRDSDSCONT01P_1-10012109.ZIP"

This ZIP file is not attached to the note, I did a search on the service market place / support portal but nothing came up.

If anyone has any ideas where this zip file lives that would be very helpful.

Thanks,

Jan.

Hello again

I think the documentation might be a little out of date. The latest ATL is here SAP Rapid Deployment solutions" Rapid data migration to SAP ERP and SAP CRM" SAP RDS DS CONTENT V3. The file is called SAPRDSDSCONT02P_1-10012109.ZIP.

I am not able to find any ZIP or ATL files in the latest version v 3.42 . Has SAP stopped delivering those?

Hi David,

I am also not able to find the atl file or zip file. Are you able to get these files?
