SAP Master data migration tools

Hi,
I would like to know if any SAP standard tools which are available for all master data migration,Kindly share the same which is required for us now.
We have to migrate the data from legacy systems to SAP and we have to use only SAP Standard master data migration tools.
Kindly share the same.
Thanks and Regards,
Raveendra

Raveendra,
SAP migrates data from legacy system using standard tools like LSMW, BDC, BAPI. Under LSMW you will have Batch input, Batch recording, BAPI and IDOCs options. Depending upon requirement you can choose any one of them. BAPI is advisable instead of BDC method.
Also for utilities industry SAP has provided ISU Migration tool (EMIGALL).

Looking for Third Party SAP Data Migration Tools

Hi all,
I don't know if this is the right place but I was wondering if anyone can provide me a list or a link of the different third party SAP Data Migration Tools. I am specifically looking for productions that migrate data from one SAP system to another.
Thanks and I hope to hear from you.
Regards

Hi,
Just to weight out my options and compare the diffrent products as a research of sort.
For SAP tools they use LSMW I believe but I want to check the alternatives.

Hi Prahlad,
Go through this hope u can understand.
With SAP Accelerated Data Migration, you can reduce migration
costs by as much as 50% and avoid interruption of business
processes. Moreover, shutting down the source system after
migration reduces system administration costs and total cost
of operations. In short, you realize the following benefits:
Significantly reduced cost and time to complete migration
projects
Accurate, cost-effective data transfer applicable for any kind
of source system
Better data quality because of preconfigured business objects
that ensure data consistency
Improved end-user productivity and acceptance thanks to
migration of historical data
Effective migration that avoids interruption of business
processes
Full support services to avoid risks and ensure the optimum
performance of your new business applications
Faster return on investment
In short, a smoother, more cost-effective migration to a new
technology solution ultimately positions your organization
to lower your total cost of ownership, maintain competitive
advantage, and pursue new business opportunities.
Expertise in Action
SAP Accelerated Data Migration applies a business objectoriented,
two-step approach that uses a neutral interface as a staging area
and predefined migration content for the conversion and upload
of data. The neutral interface enables the SAP tool to generate
predefined migration content and prevents all potential legal
issues regarding the intellectual property of any source-system
vendor. The whole data migration process from the source to
the target system consists of just two steps, as follows:
1. Data is extracted from the source system into the standard
interface as XML files.
2. Data migrates from the interface into the mySAP Business
Suite database. The migration is based on a new migration
workbench engine developed by SAP based on the SAP
NetWeaver® platform. All requirements for mapping structures
and fields and developing complex conversion rules are solved
within this engine (see Figure 1).
Once the migration is complete, business-unit end users have
access to all the legacy data in the new applications as if it had
originated there. They can continue to work on the existing
business process items in the new applications and benefit from
improved functionality.
Lifting the Limitations
Much of the cost and effort involved in classical data migrations
are generated by migration content development, as follows:
Identifying business objects for migration to properly support
the business
Defining the structure and field mapping for the relevant
business objects
Developing conversion rules for all necessary value mapping
Readily available migration content can simplify this effort.
SAP Accelerated Data Migration provides preconfigured business
content, helping you migrate it to your new system more efficiently
and rapidly. The tool allows the migration of all types of
data, independent of its current state within a business process.
This includes master and dynamic data, as well as partially
processed and historical data, to minimize data loss. Business
processes are uninterrupted and normal operation procedures
can be retained.
By providing a standard, neutral interface and reading data as an
XML file, SAP Accelerated Data Migration is applicable for any
kind of source system. Preconfigured data migration objects built
specifically for SAP applications significantly simplify the conversion
from non-SAP software data into SAP software data objects,
yielding far-reaching benefits. Besides reducing related IT costs,
you can be certain of consistency across business-object boundaries.
Through a direct insert into the database, you avoid the
performance limitations of classical data migration.
Reward points if helpful.
Thanks

So, I loaded my CUCM with 6.1.4 which is absolutely compatible with UCCX 7.0.1 and I still get the same error which is as follows: Data Migration is only supported on CUCM Deployments. I am using the Data Migration Tool for 4.0.5 to 7.0.1 UCCX deployments. All necessary services are started on the CUCM and the UCCX license and CUCM pass validation. I am at a loss as to why I am getting this error. Does anyone have any ideas?

Data migration tools in sap

hi,
i am newbie to s.a.p nd i got ma project related to data migration. we are taking data from legacy system to sap database. we are using a tool called cransoft. what about the future of this tool. how to plan my career in this data migration.need help from experienced persons. im a sap abap resource actually. im having practically no work using abap in this project.im very much concerned about ma career.help me out...
thank you

>>will my career depend on the tool im working in or it depends on data migration only
That is something which depends upon how much and what kind of experience you have, if you are an expert in one tool, then your career basically depends on it, but if you understand the concept and have good experience in multiple tools, then you will have broader domain.
In consulting, it is much easier to be an expert in one tool, you are not tied to one client and can find project somewhere else.
But if you are a permanent employee, then it helps to adjust your skillset as per the changing environment.
Having said that, you don't have to go after every tool in the market, try to diversify as per your interests and the market need.
Talking specifically about BODS, i have seen quiet a few clients using or planning to use it so its future looks bright, but then again, future can always change.
Thanks

Data Services as a data migration tool

Hello All,
Has anybody used Data Services as a data migrition tool from a SAP ECC system? If so what is it like to use and are there any documents on this?
Cheers,
Nick.

Hi Nick.
About documents, here are some of them, but one that I think it could be useful for your understanding is the "BI109 SAP Data Migration" session: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/shop?rid=/media/uuid/c08b931e-2a83-2c10-2aba-cb3968c5bc4e.
It shows the data migration framework based on SAP BusinessObjects technologies for legacy to SAP and SAP to SAP migrations.
More technical documents, showing how to set up iDocs, LSMW, etc:

Que on Material Master Data Migration

Hi All
We are trying to allocate parallel currency to an existing co code, and since SAP recommends not to add parallel currency to an existing co code, we have decided to go ahead with a new co code - thereby transferring all master and transaction data as part of data migration..
However, my Qs is.. do we have to migrate the material master data aswell since when I make the material to plant assignment in customizing, it should then officially belong to the new co code too right?
Please advise
RS

Hello Jürgen
Thanks for your reply.
I dont think you fully understand my scenario..
we have an entity that wants to introduce a parallel currency to all their reporting.. therefore, addiding a parallel currency to an active company code is not possible and they are not keen to go with material ledger...
therefore, we suggested a brand new co code as of 01.01.2012. So the current co code is not going to be active after 31.12.2011. We are creating a brand new co code and doing data migration for all the master data and transaction data.
meaning, Vendor, Customer, GL, AP & AR item Data, GL item data and asset master and transaction data.
In customizing, after creating the new company, we will make the assignments to plant purchasing/sales org etc.
My Qs - do we also need to migrate the material master since it belongs to a Plant. Therefore, when we assign the co code to the Plant, it will automatically be available in the co code when creating a PO etc..
this is my Qs
thank you

LSMW: Material Master Data migration

I will be migrating material master data using LSMW IDOC.
I also want to migrated associated material class data.
The question is:
How do I extract the material class data so that I can load them with LSMW IDOC CLFMAS after the materials are loaded?

Hi,
You have 2 possibilities.
1. If it is 1:1 transfer for source SAP system to target SAP sytem ( without data modification ) you to establish the ALE interface and distriute by using the prg: RBDSECLF
2. If it is a transfer of CLF data between 2 SAP systems where you need to modify the data based on some rules after you extract the data from the source system, you could extrace the data from Legacy by BAPI: BAPI_OBJCL_GETDETAIL. Once you extract the data, you could process as per the reqmt, & load the data by LSMW either by DI or by IDoc method.
Hope this helps.

Shared Master Data - SMD Tool Configuration

Hello Experts,
I have a requirement to generate ALE-IDOC for Customer and Vendor master change. So we are planning to use Shared Master data Tool of SAP.
Have done the settings in BD52, BD50, BD61. But do i need to configure BD64 ?
My requirement is generate the IDOC in the same client, in the sense when master data is changed IDOC are to be triggered and they will be stored in a shared folder for other system to pick it up.
So we need to have the source and destination as same client....
Not sure whether SHared master data will work for same client ? Please let me know your expert thoughts.

hi,
Shared Master Data is a component which drives the distribution of any changes in the centralally maintained master data. The SMD component writes a change status in tables BDCP and BDCPS. For EG. whenever you change any data with respect to a material, the changes are logged in two tables namely CDHDR and CDPOS. Now there is a program RBDMIDOC which reads these changes and distributes the same. Change document Object are nothing but the component with which the fields are configured,so that any changes on those fields are recorded. You can find them in Tx. SCDO.
For Material Master the change doc. object is. MATERIAL.
Reward points if you find this useful.
