To allow authorized users to select the HCM data in the sender system, ensure that you have definedusers with both TDMS and HCM authorizations. However, such users should not be visible in theTDMS landscape to ensure that unauthorized access to their systems does not take place.Set the SND LOGON switch to 'X' to force such users to enter the user ID and password during dataselection.SAPGUI PROGRESS OFFIf you set this switch to X, the switch suppresses the information that appears when you confirm theIdentify Objects for Data Selection activity.NEXT KEYS OFFIf you set the value of this switch to X, the target area is set for deletion and the automatic search for thenext free target key area is switched off.In this situation, you must manually set the target area range for each affected object type.If you do not set the switch, the target area is not set for deletion. The program searches for the next keyarea within the permitted range and copies the selected source records.MULTIPLICATION ONIf you set the value of this key to X, an additional parameter appears in the Identify Objects for DataSelection activity. This parameter allows you to enter a multiplication factor for data transfer.USE BEGDA TABNAME If you set the value of this switch to X, the Identify Objects for Data Selection activity selects and transfersdata in very large tables based on the partial cutoff date you specified.LOGGING MAX KEY NUMBERYou can assign a numeric value to this switch to reduce the volume of key information that is logged. Thismay be useful if you are transferring large amounts of data and find that the volume of logginginformation stored and processed is increasing the run-time. The system performance may also beimpacted if the data is too voluminous.Possible values for the switch:ValueImpact0No key data is loggedNumeric (NNNN)Number of keys per object type that are loggedNon-numeric or spaceAll keys loggedThe following message appears for the number of times you indicated in the numeric value:Key selected for PLVAR &1, OTYPE &2, FROM &3; transferred to &4PARALLEL ONWhat does the switch do?How To Transfer ERP HCM Data Using SAP Test Data Migration ServerError!

You can set the switch if you want to use your secure credentials while logging on to the sender systembefore selecting SAP ERP HCM data for transfer.Set the switch for each migration package individually and do not specify the special character * in theproject and package fields.NoteWhen you set the switch WEB UI for your package, SAP TDMS ignores the switch SND LOGON.Define Non-Payroll ClustersCluster tables consist of payroll clusters and other cluster tables.Payroll clusters contain special ABAP dictionary definitions and SAP ERP HCM provides special function modulesto import and export data from payroll clusters.Non-payroll cluster tables contain macros to retrieve cluster data.In this activity, you can view the DDIC references for the non-payroll cluster tables provided by SAP ERP HCM.You can also enter custom cluster tables and define the DDIC reference for the cluster tables.Define Selection SizeSAP TDMS for SAP ERP HCM selects the complete set of data for each table based on the specified selectioncriteria. On occasion, this can result in issues if the amount of data selected is too high to fit into the availablememory for the process. To offset this situation, specify the portion size for each table in the viewV CNVHCM SELSIZE in the sender system to enable the selection of data in portions. However, selection inportions could occasionally result in certain performance issues. For information about defining optimal selectionsizes, see SAP Note 1547121.2.1.2Configuration and Utilities in the Sender SystemEach activity under the group Configuration and Utilities in the Sender System is described below.Exclude Organizational Groups from the TransferIn this Customizing activity, you can exclude a specific organizational group defined in infotype 0001 by setting areturn value of X.You can create routines to exclude a particular PERNR.The CNV TDMS HCM TDHC1 CODE program contains sample coding for excluding PERNR. You can add customcriteria for exclusion.If you cannot directly maintain Customizing data in the sender system for this activity, use the PE03 transactionto maintain data for this activity. The relevant feature is TDHC1. Several fields belonging to the infotype 0001 areavailable in the structure assigned to the feature.Define Table Transfer GroupsYou define table groups in this activity to enable the transfer of custom tables without any extra programming. Formore information, see Section 2.2.How To Transfer ERP HCM Data Using SAP Test Data Migration ServerError! Reference source not found. 2012 SAP AG. All rights reserved.12

Define Tables for Table Transfer GroupsYou assign tables to the table groups defined in the Define Table Transfer Groups activity.You can assign tables that are not infotypes or cluster tables. For more information, see Section 2.2.Set Table Transfer StatusBy default, SAP TDMS sets all tables selected by the standard criteria for transfer to the receiver system. You canmanually deselect the tables from transfer in the Inc./Exc. checkbox. For more information, see Section 2.2.If you want to include additional infotypes or cluster tables for transfer, enter the table names in this activity.The activity alerts you if any new tables are available but not listed on the screen for this activity. You can chooseto include the new tables.View Authorizations for Personnel Administration/Development DataPersonnel Administration DataYou use this activity to determine if you have the appropriate authorizations. The transfer programs haveembedded HCM authority checks in them, so it can be beneficial to verify the authorizations you have for selectingand transferring PA data. If you don’t have the correct authorizations and try to run the transfer program, thesystem doesn’t select (or deletes) the data that you don’t have authorizations for. The system logs thisinformation.Personnel Development DataYou use this activity to determine if you have the appropriate authorizations. The transfer programs haveembedded HCM authority checks in them, so it can be beneficial to verify the authorizations you have for selectingand transferring PA and PD data. If you don’t have the correct authorizations and try to run the transfer program,the system doesn’t select (or deletes) the data that you don’t have authorizations for. The system logs thisinformation.View Tables Required to Be ScrambledYou can list the tables that can be transferred based on the customizing definitions, but where the selection fieldis not a key field. If these tables are to be included in the transfer, it is necessary to define the scrambling rules.View Authorizations for Data SelectionThis activity runs in the sender system and allows you to check if you are authorized to execute the transferprogram Confirm Functions.Assign Objects to a Selection IDFor more information, see Section 2.5 Creating a Selection ID.How To Transfer ERP HCM Data Using SAP Test Data Migration ServerError!

Deletion Using the Target RangesYou can use the transaction CNVTDMS HCM DELETE in the receiver system to delete the data based on a targetrange. You can specify the target range for a package and use the same package number in the report to deletemass data from the receiver system. This transaction is faster than the Data Deletion activity in the TDMS HCMpackage as it deletes all the data in the range specified in the target range. You should execute this activity beforedata transfer to perform a mass deletion of data in the receiver system.Define Transfer Groups for HCM TablesRefer to Section 2.3: Configuring the Z Tables.2.2Defining Scrambling RulesHCM related data is considered sensitive. Hence, SAP TDMS 4.0 enables you to scramble sensitive data in theproduction systems before migrating data to the non-production systems. Data scrambling does not impact theactual data in the production system.For more information about scrambling see the How-to Guide for Scrambling on SAP Service Marketplace athttp://service.sap.com/tdms.2.3Configuring Z TablesYou define table groups in this activity to enable the transfer of custom tables without any extra programming.If you want to transfer the Z tables that you created with the key PERNR or OBJID, configure the Z tables in TDMSHCM.SAP TDMS transfers data in the Z tables synchronously with the data in the SAP standard tables.To configure the Z tables, proceed as described in the sections below.2.3.1Configuring Z Tables if You Are on Support Package 8Open the process tree for the package in which you want to configure Z tables.Execute the activity Define Transfer Groups for HCM Tables.How To Transfer ERP HCM Data Using SAP Test Data Migration ServerError!
