What is TDMS?

SAP Test Data Migration Server is a high-speed data extraction tool that populates your development, test, quality assurance, and training systems with SAP business data from your live productive environment.

maximizing the effectiveness and accuracy of your non production systems.

* Build complete systems in reduced manner, or transfer selective data based on business objects
  (e.g., for maintenance situations)
* Create slim master shell as basis for target system
* Scramble sensitive data according to your needs |
