Extraction of Master Data and Transactional Data

Whether the customer is in contract or not, the Master Data and Transaction Data should be extracted by user using:

• Reports view in respective work center or
• Mass Data Maintenance or
• Data Extraction and Extraction Run for Financial Data  or 
• Any Excel export functionality provided by the respective application team.

Additional Information:

• Master Data can be extracted by the user using any of the above options. In case of memory issues or time out, use appropriate filters to split the records into multiple files.
• Files exported through Data Extraction (ByD) are in .XML format which is same as Migration template format.
• Files exported through and Mass Data Maintenance are in .CSV format.
• Notes (Text Collection) are supported only for few objects

Extraction of Attachments and Output Management files

At present, it is not possible to export Attachments for any of the Business Objects and there is no mass export functionality for Output Management files. Hence, user need to request such exports via incident.

Note: Such process might take a few weeks as this process is performed manually by the operations team and, it will depend on the amount of attachments available in the system.
