Hi Naresh,

Data migration comes in picture when you are migrating data from legacy system for eg mainframe to your SAP system.

When you are implementing SAP there requires for the client to move all his data that's existing in his legacy systems ( ex .net) to the SAP system.

Some of the data can be moved all at once. and some times as the business keeps running there requires to move certain data periodically.

You can use following techniques to move data

LSMW

BDC

BAPI

IDOC

etc

I hope it helps.

Thanks

Hi,

When you want to migrate the data from other systems legacy to SAP, there data migration will come into picture.

Especially at the time of implemenation we will go with the Data migration part, this can be done using BDC, LSMW.

Data Migration is the process of moving required (and most often very large) volumes of data from our clients’ existing systems to new systems. Existing systems can be anything from custom-built IT infrastructures to spreadsheets and standalone databases.

Data Migration encompasses all the necessary steps to cleanse, correct and move the data into the new system *. Technological changes, change in providers, software updates or data warehousing / data mining projects make such delicate and critical operations necessary.
