The primary goal of the selective data transfer (SDT) is to ensure a seamless transition of solution documentation from SAP Solution Manager to SAP Cloud ALM. In general, the following steps need to be performed for a successful migration of data:

  • Scope: Select and scope the data in SAP Solution Manager that should be migrated to SAP Cloud ALM
  • Export: Download the selected data.
  • Adjust: Adjust the data, if necessary (this is an optional step).
  • Import: Upload data to SAP Cloud ALM
  • Validate: Verify the uploaded data in SAP Cloud ALM for correctness

Use this overview presentation for a walk-through of the selective data transfer from SAP Solution Manager to SAP Cloud ALM. Also, the SAP Readiness Check for SAP Cloud ALM provides valuable information to prepare the selective data transfer.
