As I’ve already covered the complete procedure for carrying out the following activities using EPI-USE approach on my previous blog post.

1. Client Copyback <Process Overview of Client Refresh using EPI-USE method>
2. Client Export <Client Export Process- Production Client Data using DSM tool / EPI-USE method>
3. Client Delete <Client Delete Process Using DSM tool / EPI-USE method>

Here, I’ll discuss how to import production data into quality client. Just so you know that, we require downtime of the target system to accomplish these tasks.

Execution Steps: Phase 6 – Client Import – TARGET (Quality Client) System

– Client sync media transfer if necessary.

If source location is not same in target location, then we need to manually move the export data files into target location.

– Check permissible directory.

T-Code: /n/USE/CS

• Click on Environment Menu > Administration
• Click on Permissible Directories
• And then click on Check Permissible Directory

– IMPORT client sync grouping file., To maintain the list of tables to be included and excluded from Client Sync with the Client Sync Groupings

T-Code: /n/USE/CS

• Click on Environment Menu > Administration
• Select Client Sync Grouping -> Import
• Select the grouping profile, it may be in txt or excel template, you need to select and import it
• After importing click on Save

– DSM Client Sync import of Production data into Quality client.

T-Code: /n/USE/CS

• Click on Import Sync from File

Keep selection check mark as per above screenshot, it may be default selected.

• Click on Execution Options.
• Click Parallel processing and increase some number if background work process is available and click set details.
• Click on Scheduling and click Immediate.

• Click on Import Sync, and import process will be started as below

Now proceed for next phase 7 as explained in the previous blog <Process Overview of Client Refresh using EPI-USE method>

Conclusion:

Using the EPI-USE/DSM tool, I have discussed client import methods and execution procedures in this blog.
