CrystalBridge Analysis

Data migration scenarios follow standardized approaches, but data constellation on every system is different. Whereas system scan results support in project planning, more detailed analysis activities need to be performed in "Design" and "Build" phase. Standardization of bestpractice analysis activties is applicable to all TCbased migration projects. MC framework can be used to create a unit, which can give guidance and use potential of automation.

This epic is an outcome of the software supported engagement model (feature requests from delivery):


 * Enables Partenrs and Junior level transformation consultants to setup migration rulebase by following a guided and partially automated procedure.
 * Improves quality in "Build" phase by following best-practice checks to derive necessary tasks.
 * Reduces efforts in "Design" and "Build" phase by high level of automation.
 * increase quality across projects (each project does the analysis on their own and with their own design)
 * increase standardization and as a result of this easier onboarding of new transformation consultants and shorten partner onboarding
 * reduce probability to execute wrong or incomplete analysis because of higher amount of automation
 * prevent wrong ruleset implementation because of standardized analysis results and guidance how to use and how to interpred / adapt TC rulebase (e.g. depending on the results of ILOA analysis the content has to be adapted - if this analysis will not be done and rules adapted the TC standard content results in import errors during migration)"

One-Click-Analyzer - for Data Migrations

The goal is to automate the analysis of archivable content within ECC/S4 system as an ongoing analysis running on regular base. The output of such analysis should automatically propose the meaningful archivable potential (listing archiving objects with selection criteria for mass-archiving settings, i.e. pre-generated variant suggestions) with corresponding saving potential.

This initiative seeks to streamline the analysis process, which is frequently requested by customers, and is currently partially available in the archiving solution for BW systems, known as "Outboard Datatiering". By automating these analyses, we aim to reduce the reliance on manual execution and to provide a more efficient and less intrusive method for identifying archivable content within the ECC/S4 system. 

The goal is to encapsulate existing analysis methods, typically performed during implementation projects by project/archiving teams, and automate them in a manner that is both meaningful and minimally intrusive to the analyzed ECC production system.

Datafridge Cloud is designed to cater to customers interested in decommissioning SAP systems and transitioning away from SAP technology entirely. Even in the absence of an existing SAP-based Datafridge control system (required in current Netweaver-based Datafridge SW version), with Datafridge Cloud, customers can access SAP data from a non-SAP environment.

Datafridge Cloud leverages the existing data extraction engine and places a primary focus on delivering a seamless, cloud-based user experience for accessing data stored in Datafridge. This approach ensures that users can easily retrieve and interact with SAP data, regardless of the underlying technology landscape.

This first release version encompasses generic browser functionality and is tailored to cover a selection of the most popular transactions in the financial (FI) domain, enabling users to test and experience the capabilities of Datafridge Cloud within a real-world context.

Datafridge Cloud MVP - Native Cloud, lean version for Datafridge based on CrystalBridge platform

In our over 1000 scans per year and more than 100 projects, which are usually transformation projects, move to the cloud projects or other projects in the M&A environment we are now able to include an analysis about the affected interfaces to and from SAP systems and other systems. 

The ability to carry out an interface analysis directly from the scan gives us the opportunity to offer an interface analysis for every project.

Introducing the new Extractor Framework in our Crystal Bridge Analysis Extractor, designed to enable partner teams to seamlessly integrate their extraction logic into our analysis process. This development addresses the need for expertise-driven, end-to-end solutions that can be standardized for both our and our partners' pre-sales teams. Focusing on efficiently gathering all relevant data into the CB Cloud, this framework marks a significant stride in collaborative, data-driven analysis and solution development. 

Crystal Bridge Extractor Framework: Empowering Partner Contribution

This initiative aims to enhance the existing Datafridge content by extending support to the SAP Sales and Distribution (SD) module. By incorporating the SD module into the Datafridge repository, users will gain access to a broader spectrum of critical sales and distribution data within their SAP systems. 

Planned initial version of the SD module covers creation of the  framework (Business Object) and top 5 most used transaction codes from SAP SD module, providing users with convenient access through the Datafridge browser or transaction substitute where applicable.

EPR archiving analysis is currently done manually by presales expert/consultant which is time consuming activity and only done for selected use cases when identified interest for archiving use case exists.

Adding archiving analysis to CB scan provides an overview of archiving potential (high level) in very early stage of Bluefield S/4 migration process as well as discovery option for sales/presales process for SNP and partners, and for customers directly.

Automation of analysis for document attachments and archives. 

Many times  we need to understand all types of connected documents, document attachments and archives before starting migration of historic data to datafridge, and even in any similar migration or archiving related project. Automated analysis of archives and document attachments decreases the manual efforts and limits potential for human mistakes in analysis process.

This automated analysis is reusable in different scenarios, besides Datafridge also e.g. in CrystalBridge Scan or Outboard ERP archiving analysis

Analysis for archives and documents attachments

In data migration, it's common for source and target systems to have differences in their customization. These variances directly impact the data migration process. During the Design & Build phase, it's crucial to analyze these conflicts and translate them into transformation/mapping rules. This process requires considerable effort. However, by introducing automation, this effort can be significantly reduced, and the quality level of mapping rules can be enhanced in the early stages of the project. This approach not only streamlines the migration process but also ensures greater accuracy and efficiency.

Datafridge  - New Extraction & Ingestion Monitoring

Before each migration or even after creating a selection or mapping rule, it is important to evaluate it. This check already exists today, but it is kept very simple and urgently needs to be extensively revised. The maintained values are currently only blindly checked against the customising, which sometimes leads to false statements. The checks must be more extensive and comprehensive so that one can start the coming migration with more security and correct values.

For every migration project the implementation of rulebase must be adopted to follow project requirements. Template rulebase have a high level of complexity to cover most common project requirements. This complexity causes problems in every projects implementation (phase "Build") and execution (phase "Test"), because of required rulebase adjustments. With this solution we are able to configure a custom rulebase, which fits to project requirements and it will lead to an even higher efficiency.

Scenario Configuration

New SaaS version of SNP Glue elevates customer value in Cloud Data Integration

If the customizing analysis detects that a customizing entry (e.g. document type, cost element etc.) is either missing or the configuration is different from source to target a mapping proposal for potentially (better) matching values is produced. The customer can then chose a value which is then used as the target mapped value. Values explicitly chosen by the customer are typically excluded from further checks.

Mission Control is a flexible framework that enables you to plan, execute and monitor project activities across all the required software components. You can load predefined project templates known as units to benefit from best practice knowledge and reduce the initial project effort. In every project there is the requirement of adapting tasks or create new ones. This always requires editing or creating documentation, i. e. task descriptions. For better user experience, it must be as easy as possible to make use of formatting, or embedding of hyperlinks as well as documents.

 * Enables project manager, technical coordinators and SAP consultants to maintain task descriptions by having a simple

use editor.
 * Improves user experience for project manager, technical coordinators and SAP consultants lower down entry level in maintaining MCtasks.
