Weak-point analysis of SAP-interfaces to dedicated applications
Project duration: 2 months
Brief description
Analysis of the input interfaces between web-based affiliate applications and the central retail application based on SAP R/3. Proposals have to be created to solve the weaknesses.
Supplement
The satellite systems for purchase orders and complaints are daily provided with master data (vendors, articles, prices, etc.). For these items a full extract was taken and a full import was made to the purchasing and customer service application. The consequences were long running times and a high error quote.
Subject description
In the SAP system the common method with change pointers (SMD = shared master data) was not used. This method would transfer only the changes of the master data. In the dedicated applications, which are running in .NET on a MS SQL Server data base, no logic exists to handle only the modified data. Therefore on both sides a refactoring has to be done to implement a delta processing.
