Creating and populating a data transfer package

In your data transfer package, you specify exactly which master data or configuration data you want to transfer.

Proceed as follows:

  1. The system in which you want to create the data transfer package must have the same name and service pack level as the target system.
  2. You must have either the I_ADMIN or the I_CLIENTADMIN role.

  2. Click New and make the required entries on the Data transfer package sheet.
  3. In the Office, select an entry of master data or configuration data that you want to add to the data transfer package.
  4. Example: Go to Master data − Areas.
  5. Only transfer certain entries: Select these entries.
  6. Select Add to data transfer package from the main menu.
  7. Example: In the Areas overview, select menu Areas − Add to data transfer package.
  8. Only transfer specific entries that you have selected in the overview: Check the Selected XXX box.
  9. Example: Check the Selected areas box.
  10. Make all necessary settings, then click Add.
  11. You can also create a new data transfer package here.

    To do this, click New behind the Data transfer package field.

  1. The master data or configuration data with which you have populated your new data transfer package can be found on the Data transfer package entries sheet.
