Migration Scenario

In the Migration scenario, data in the SAP tables is selected on the source system and migrated into the target system.

Depending on the scenario and chosen content package, the SAP releases, operating systems or databases between the source and target systems might differ.

In comparison to the Conversion or Deletion scenario, the Migration scenario introduces new task type - the beam task.

The migrated data can be changed if required, for example via data masking or scrambling or to perform any business- or IT-driven transformation. The change can happen during the data read or before the insertion. The change is customized within the DTS transformation rule.

The whole Migration scenario setup takes place on the source system and is then replicated to the target system. In the source system, relevant data is selected and moved to the target system via a cluster table. Source and target systems are connected via RFC.
