Results

The Transfer phase of the Customizing Data stage is the final stage as transports are completed and can then be deployed to the destination system.

Once the Execution programs have run from the Operation section it is time to view the results, go to the ‘Results’ drawer and select the ‘Customizing Data’ and click the ‘Transfer’ tab.

The results are broken down by the following categories, this phase only includes the root tables identified by Consolidator.

Modified Content and non existing keys – Records which did not exist with the non key data modified
Modified Content – Records with keys that existed with the non key data modified
Non-existing keys only – Records which did not exist in the target ready to be transferred

The buttons on this screen operate by clicking the right hand down arrow details on what each button does are as below.

The ‘Update’ button allows the user to run the programs for this phase individually, however, it is recommended the user does not use this and completes this through the operation drawer as this adds greater clarity.

The ‘Exclude’ button allows the user to exclude tables from being transferred, they can also be added back in this phase if the decision needs to be reversed. Note this is different to the ‘Exclude’ button in the analysis phase.

The ‘Workflow’ button allows the user to open and close this phase.

The ‘Overview’ button allows the user to view the reports for this phase, see the Reporting section for more details.
