System refresh is simply copying one SAP system to another target system that already exists. When you refresh a system, you overwrite an existing target system with the latest data from a source system while maintaining the configuration.
IT-Conductor is a SaaS platform used to orchestrate complex IT operations remotely. With its capability to automate processes, you will save a significant amount of time and effort performing system refresh in your organization.
Using an Automation-as-a-Service feature in the platform, you can streamline several steps into one, automated end-to-end workflow.
Custom Orchestration
Integrate your SAP systems into the monitoring and automation framework behind IT-Conductor to ensure seamless operation when performing system refresh.
End-to-End Automation
Design, build, and implement E2E automation in your workflow to reduce your organization's time, effort, and operational cost when performing system refresh.
Platform-Independent
Deploy a solution that is designed to run system refresh in a wide variety of applications, different hardware platforms, and varying software architectures.
SID-Refresh is a separate tool developed to automate the exporting, importing, and cleanup process of system refresh.
It is designed to simplify, automate, and optimize the process of updating the technical data and configuration in SAP systems.
Note: Automated process using the SID-Refresh standalone tool attributes to around 40% of E2E System Refresh Process.
| Features | SID-Refresh (Standalone) | E2E Automation |
| Automation |
40% Automated SID-Refresh is used for exporting, cleaning, and importing technical and data configurations. Save up to almost half the time it takes to perform this complex administrative task. |
80% Automated This E2E automation helps save up to 80% of the time and effort it takes to perform system refresh. The 20% margin is attributed to variations in the customer's E2E process. |

Below is a list of technical data and configurations that may be exported/imported using end-to-end System Refresh.
Note that the selected options are saved on initial use and can be reused on subsequent execution of the refresh.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes. Regardless of where your environment resides, you can use E2E System Refresh Automation to simplify your system refresh process if your systems are enrolled in IT-Conductor.
The automated process executed using E2E System Refresh Automation remains consistent without miss regardless of system complexity, provided instructions are followed properly. However, system complexity affects the runtime of the export/import/cleanup together with the degree of parallelism and the number of components you selected for the export/cleanup/import process.
The entire process may take from a few minutes up to several hours depending on the same factors mentioned in the previous question. On average, it would take 4 hours to complete the system refresh process end-to-end.
