Leading AIOps Platform Shows Users How to Handle SAP System Refresh Automation

Avantra discusses how this powerful SAP tool needs to be handled with care due to its complexity, and gives guidance on how users can perform a refresh of their own database.

For SAP-centric enterprises looking to keep their systems always up to date and on track, performing system refreshes in SAP is inevitable.

However, with the system landscape getting complex and the system refresh task consisting of many moving parts, the process becomes extremely challenging.

To help organizations refresh their systems efficiently, Avantra, the leading AIOps platform for SAP operations, breaks down the system refresh process in a new guide.

System refresh is the process of overwriting an existing target system with up-to-date data from a source system while maintaining the configuration.

According to Avantra, organizations must ensure the general prerequisites for provisioning systems are met for an effective system refresh. Resolving validation errors of the systems being used, having the required authorization, and correctly assigning the roles are the prerequisites to preparing for a system refresh, explains the company.

With that said, having the source and target systems deployed on different servers is critical to ensure the refresh works accurately.

According to the company, any enterprise that needs to prevent data loss in the case of a failure should create a full backup of their SAP Landscape Management configuration information available for the source system.

Using a full backup from the source system is vital to refresh a database like SAP ASE or SAP HANA. Referred to as a ‘restore-based refresh operation,’ database refreshing using database backup includes a few unique details that enterprises must consider to ensure the operation progresses properly and the refresh works perfectly.

In addition to configuring the initial entities and setting up their target system as a copy of their source system, organizations must ensure their SYSTEM user password is identical to the password used in the backup.

For organizations looking to create intuitive visualizations of their enterprise architecture from a single place, leveraging SAP PowerDesigner is a no-brainer. By building a blueprint of a company’s current enterprise data architecture, it helps plan potential changes ahead of time, thus doubling up as a powerful system for addressing forecasting expansion needs.

While refreshing a system that relies on Sybase database servers, businesses should fully back up their existing data first and restore it in their target systems, the company explains.

According to Avantra, system refresh should be periodically executed in order to ensure the test systems are in sync with the up-to-date business data.

However, the process can be lengthy, error-prone, and resource-consuming and thus can be fraught with risks for enterprises with mission-critical data.

Avantra stresses the importance of leveraging a high-end SAP automation platform to mitigate the risks of system refreshes efficiently, especially in production environments.

“SAP system refresh automation is extremely powerful when leveraged with care; system refreshes are complex and challenging processes to manage,” explains a spokesperson from Avantra.

For example, by leveraging Avantra’s fully automated system refresh capabilities, businesses can ensure their system refreshes run smoother while driving speed, quality, and consistency in business operations.

By following custom steps and ensuring continuous tracking of each step, Avantra helps automate and complete complex system refreshes in only a few hours—significantly limiting the need for manual intervention.
