31 SAP Test Data Migration Server What is the SAP Test Data Migration Server? SAP TDMS is a tool for providing representative business data (extract) from a productive system to nonproductive systems to create test environments in the nonproductive system. Focus Customers working on upgrade or consolidation projects can use the SAP TDMS to get more value out of creating, refreshing, and maintaining nonproductive environments for development and testing as this is often costly, time consuming and inefficient. Benefits Create small, easy-to-use test environments with consistent, relevant extracts of business data Perform reduced analysis and increase frequency of testing in nonproductive systems Minimizing infrastructure and maintenance expenses Maximizing the effectiveness and accuracy of your nonproductive systems SAP 2007 / Page 31

32 TDMS Value for customers REDUCED INFRASTRUCTURE EXPENDITURES Reduce your disk space by decreasing the data volume in your development, test, quality assurance and training systems IMPROVED QUALITY Improve quality of development and training activities by using business-relevant and up-to-date test data INCREASED EFFICIENCY Increase development efficiency by reducing the administrative efforts and time required to manage your development and test systems HIGHER FLEXIBILTY Support independent project schedules by selectively refreshing single clients of your development, test and quality assurance systems DECISION SUPPORT Effectively simulate new business situations in your test environments using up-to-date data before taking critical business decisions Resulting in REDUCED COST while INCREASING QUALITY in development and training activities SAP 2007 / Page 32
