becoming larger Increased storage expenses

Interfaces (change/shut down)

Create new users or block existing ones

After every copy, settings need to
be readjusted Assign new authorizations

Copy saved objects back into the system

( CATTS)

Developments need to be stopped Transports must be closed, released, import

(before system rebuild) after refresh

Objects must be transported into Q/A,

New development testing can only
tested, go back to development, correction,
be performed in the Q/A System …
Information on transport paths
Repository objects loose their history by
from development to productive copying productive to test systems
system is being lost

 Feedback from the SAP TDMS Pilot Project

Reinhard Schneider, Knauf Information Services GmbH:

► “Thanks to SAP TDMS, we were able to significantly

reduce the amount of data in our Q/A systems. The target
system was reduced in size by 60% and more.”

► “With SAP TDMS, we can reduce our system landscape

by one complete layer.”

► “Using SAP TDMS significantly improves the quality of our

development, because development work is no longer interrupted
by repeated time-consuming transports for testing purposes.”
