Hi.
Currently SAP Rollouts and data migration is going on in my project.
I am SAP FICO Consultant.
I searched and found out about various tools for master and transaction data migration from Legacy system to SAP system.
Some tools I came across are : LSMW, BDC, Call Transaction and Direct I/P.
All have their pros and cons.
Currently we are using BDC method and our process requires lot of work on excel sheets before uploading.
Then I recently researched documents on this community and SAP Marketplace Best Practices.
I found some info about how SAP BO's Data Services platform can be used for efficient migration.
Links I searched are as below:
1) http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-54115
2) SAP Market place best practices link for data migration
3) http://global.sap.com/community/ebook/2013_11_23102/enUS/index.html#/page/7
etc.
I was very excited and happy to see the new functionality offered.
I have few specific questions related to it :
1) Can SAP BO's Data Services platform be used to transfer legacy "transaction" data "into"
SAP ERP (ECC 6.0 EHP 4 and NOT SAP HANA) as well?
2) IF currently our customer is not using SAP BO then how can I as SAP consultant avail access to SAP BO.
then I can experiment and try to build a POC (proof of conect) to show. Is there anything available for SAP consultant to download SAP BO from marketplace?
Thank you,
Shreyas Patwardhan
