User Interface
Operations for import and export of data are initiated from the EcoSys web application. After the connection to SAP is configured, an administrator may configure one or more external operations. Operations perform the supported data exchange based on parameters supplied by the end-user. Parameters typically include filters for which projects, versions, and date ranges should be included in the data exchange. The relevant screens are listed below:
-
Integration > External Data Sources (for configuring the connection)
-
Integration > Operations (for configuring the specific import/export jobs)
-
System Info > Integration (for validating the connection)
