System Refresh Process

What is System Refresh?

System refresh in SAP refers to the process of copying data from one SAP system (the source) to another existing SAP system (the target). This operation is typically done to ensure that the target system has the most recent and accurate data from the source system.

The challenge is that a manual SAP system refresh is tedious and time-consuming, often taking 20 hours or several days. With SAP recommending quarterly refreshes, an automated solution would greatly alleviate the burden of performing this task multiple times a year.
