Sometimes there is a need to copy only a business object, like one employee with three payroll periods to troubleshoot a production issue in a non production system. You need something that is fast, does not need the basis team to help, has full access control features and can give you only the data you need, when you need it. Object Sync™ fills that role.
| Feature | Description |
| Selectively refresh test system data | Copy data at the business object level, either singly or in volume, from production to your test system. Avoids a full system copy or client refresh if only one or a few data records are needed. |
| Automatically includes dependent data | If you select transaction data, the system knows which master data goes with it and brings it along if it does not exist in the target system. |
| Configure wholistic data relationship selection | Include or exclude as many dependent relationships as you need, eg. when copying an employee, you can choose to include the related cost center master - the system has the intelligence to select the appropriate data. |
| Template definition | Templates can be preconfigured to copy specific data and assigned to specific user groups as appropriate. Access to the templates can be controlled by SAP security. |
| Scramble data | Detailed levels of scrambling can be specified for in flight scrambling to protect sensitive data. |
| Protects production data | Object Sync™ is designed to prevent accidental or intentional attempts to insert/overwrite data in production through several measures. |
| Business Object Workbench | Customize your own data relationships, normally used to define relationships and selection criteria for custom (Z) tables. Can also be used to extend existing scenarios or to code custom handling of data and business processes unique to your organization. |
| Data cloning | Individual records can be cloned via a simple setting, create one or multiple clones. This is useful for creating data for training clients to match the training materials, or for an ABAP developer to set up test data for his/her program. |
| Extensive security | SAP security functions are used to ensure the user has access to the data that needs to be copied on both source and target systems. Security profiles are delivered for different classes of users eg. administration, super user, developer, normal user, etc... |
| Intelligent number range management | Retain source object numbers if needed without compromising target system number ranges. |
