Landscape Management Products
Improving the efficiency of the enterprise system landscape is high on every SAP customer's agenda. Our products help you to optimize your SAP landscape, with easy SAP client creation, the option to reduce the footprint when copying clients, and on-demand data copying from Production ensuring that valid data is available for Production support, testing and effective training.
Data Sync Manager (DSM)
Flexible solution for consistent copying of SAP Client and Object data
DSM Object Sync supports:
- ERP (FI, CO, LO, HCM, etc.)
- SRM
- CRM
DSM can copy data:
- from a lower to a higher SAP release
- between Unicode and non-Unicode systems
- between systems running on different architectures
Use Data Sync Manager (DSM) to copy complete subsets of SAP Client data or to copy selected SAP object data in ERP, SRM and CRM environments, accurately and consistently. Because it is so flexible, DSM empowers all levels of SAP users, ensuring access to production data in non-production systems for testing, training and support. This easy-to-use product optimizes your landscape by empowering you to get the data you need when you need it.
DSM can copy to higher SAP releases – useful during upgrades – and between different architectures. It saves time, reduces costs and risks, and improves business efficiency.
This proven and popular product has two components:
- Client Sync: create reduced SAP clients with full functionality by selecting subsets of data, with the option to maintain document flows. Faster copying eliminates downtime.

- Object Sync: copy object data on demand, thus ensuring valid, up-to-date data for production support, accurate testing and effective training. Optional scrambling ensures security, while templates control access but empower users.

Fully functional client with reduced footprint
Different people in your organization have different needs, so DSM covers a range of options. Technical users can copy a slice of the SAP client data, based on document date, while functional users can recreate a specific scenario with selected data objects. You save valuable disk space and thus costs are reduced.
Fresh testing data at your fingertips
DSM relieves you from recreating testing and training data manually. You can have up-to-date, valid production data for testing or for training simulations whenever you need it. Data can be refreshed easily and regularly.
No system interruptions during data refreshes
Because DSM gives you the option to copy only a slice of client data, you can eliminate system downtime. In addition, DSM gives you the option to enable users to copy production data as needed, leading to fewer system interruptions.
Confidence in your data security and integrity
DSM allows you to define templates that reduce complexity, to empower the user who needs the data to access it in a regulated environment. DSM’s design ensures data consistency. When copying for testing or training, DSM can protect sensitive data with extensive and flexible scrambling capability, which adheres to data protection standards (such as Sarbanes Oxley).
Basis |
“It takes too much time and too much disk space to copy our system. The teams are asking for a full copy into Q/A every month!” |
“With DSM, I can create clients as required. I provide the teams with a relevant, up-to-date subset of data that matches their needs and uses less disk space.” |
Developer |
“It takes me ages to test my changes because I have to load my transport up to the Q/A system where we have some decent test data.” |
“I’m developing so much faster now that I can test against real data in Development. With DSM, I can copy just the data I need.” |
Production Support |
“I’ll need a few days to recreate this problem in pre-production, as I’ll probably have to repeat the process several times to get it right.” |
“I use DSM to recreate the problem from Production onto a target system while both are online. Then I can get it right first time!” |
Trainer |
“I like to use examples in my class to help the students understand SAP better, but with only one instance of the data, they can’t all do the example. Instead, we take turns so they don’t lock each other out.” |
“I use DSM to ‘clone’ the data for each student in the class. It really helps them learn how to interact with the system when they can perform the examples individually.” |
Internal Auditor |
“We cannot have client copies in the Development environment because too many people have access to sensitive data.” |
“DSM allows us to copy data into all non-production systems with conversions which protect our employees, customers, and other sensitive data.” |
Supported SAP ERP Releases: 4.6C, 4.7x110, 4.7x200, ECC5 (ERP2004) and ECC6 (ERP2005)
Supported SAP SRM and CRM Releases: 5.0, 6.0 and 7.0
With this solution’s power, intelligent copying and flexibility, it is no surprise that many customers have replaced their existing data copy software with Data Sync Manager.
