Why do you need on-demand access to specific data sets in non-production SAP systems?

Access to test a specific scenario can be delayed if you depend on IT or an external Basis team for a full non-production system refresh in your SAP system. The alternative of manually recreating the data for testing or training is cumbersome, and might not represent the Production system accurately. To optimise processes, you need to be able to create data subsets for testing, training and Production support.

Object Sync™, part of the Data Sync Manager™ (DSM) Suite, empowers you to select and copy the data you need for agile test data management processes.

Have fresh testing data at your fingertips

Object Sync gives business analysts, functional teams and other power users the capability to replicate Production data in non-production systems for testing, training and support, removing the need for manual recreation of testing and training data. With Object Sync, data can be refreshed easily and frequently, without the overhead of full client or system copies. 

With custom solutions, data accuracy can be a challenge. Object Sync ensures accuracy by leveraging EPI-USE Labs’ proprietary Business Object Library, developed over the past 30+ years. So your data – including all relevant dependent data – can be moved consistently, retaining data integrity and keeping all links and document flows intact.

Object Sync allows you to select and transfer specific SAP data objects quickly and when you need it. It enables you to generate only the data you need, such as if you need to do problem resolution for Production support.

Ensure reliable test results with built-in security

Testing can only be as reliable as your data allows it to be. Object Sync’s intuitive and easy-to-use interface guides you to select data at a business object or transactional flow level, from a single object up to a whole range, and copy it to a non-production system. You can select from multiple modules, such as HCM, FI and SD. You can even copy complex HCM cluster data such as CATS and Payroll.

Sensitive data can be safeguarded as Object Sync adheres to all SAP roles and authorizations, and scrambles during the copy. This helps you comply with data privacy legislation, like GDPR.

Create precise selections with increased efficiency

With Object Sync, you can speed up your testing processes further by defining templates to reduce complexity when copying testing scenarios.

Since you are able to select and copy the exact Production data you need, there are fewer system interruptions, and the Basis team can focus on other important tasks.

You also reduce your data footprint by selecting only the data you need, so you minimize the requirement for frequent full refreshes.

Optimize test data like BT

Reduce risk during major SAP transformations

Whether you are migrating to S/4HANA, upgrading SAP systems, applying Support Packs, or part of a company merger or divestiture, projects need to be properly tested before go-live.

Object Sync is crucial to projects like this. Copy accurately to a higher SAP release, between Unicode and non-Unicode systems, and between systems on different architectures. Use or extend our conversions to ensure copied data is stored accurately.  Object Sync also helps you to speed up projects: no need to wait for full client refreshes before continuing with testing specific data sets.

We use DSM Object Sync so we can copy, clone and scramble Objects (test data on demand). We can now copy employees on a regular basis for HR, and scramble our data to comply with GDPR. It’s much faster, and we get test data at a higher level.

IT Manager, Leading bedding specialist

Data Sync Manager has provided perfect data quality without significant load on the systems, and test and training systems are much smaller now. Business users work independently of Global IT when they need to copy objects from the productive system to test systems. Object Sync has been very valuable for checking and fixing incidents, e.g. in Payroll.

Esben Fagerlind, SAP Landscape & Release Consultant, Vestas

The Data Sync Manager suite ticked all the boxes for us

Sylvia Odekerken, Service Manager at Vebego

DSM has saved us a considerable amount of time as refreshes have improved from manual intervention with a lot of costly activity, to minimal activity.

Jeff Greiner - Director, Enterprise Applications Engineering at Siemens PLM Software

The benefits of bringing in DSM were that we could reliably and quickly deliver consistent test data to our systems that weren’t manipulated to suit certain test scenarios, and that could meet the criteria we needed without technical intervention. It is actually a tool that is used by the business to deliver their own test data, so they can understand and manage their test data more reliably and more quickly.

SAP Solutions Manager, leading British energy retailer

One of the key elements for us was the flexibility that the EPI-USE Labs team provided, both with landscape alignment and on a project management level. Dunelm did not have the resources to do that. We needed a partner that could come in with a technical mindset as well as a project management mindset.

Steve Ross, SAP Technical Services Manager, Dunelm

DSM has given us a faster, more consistent test process, and allowed us to meet ad-hoc business requests quickly. It’s also reduced our data footprint and masked our sensitive data, which is a big bonus.

Tom Garreis, SAP Basis & Security Manager, A.O. Smith

The EPI-USE Labs products have shortened the time and effort to get a valid system up and running. The major benefit from the DSM Suite is that we can take over objects and we can make them usable, and test without compromising GDPR data. The ability to do a quick and valid sync is also a benefit.

Hans Henrik Jensen, Service Delivery Manager, Coop Denmark

With Object Sync, part of the Data Sync Manager suite, the IT department's functional team is able to run test scenarios while preserving the complete integrity of the data. We use Object Sync mainly in SAP HCM and for copying master data.
