Hello Again,
We primarily intend to do this for the most critical tables and columns
and most likely only for selected Master Data.
We will most likely end up with up to 60 foreign systems that will
interface with SAP in one way or another, some will act as a datasource
for SAP other as datatargets and some again as both.
The reason for my weaving is that our scope is in more or less constant
flux... So what is true one day may not be another day...
Do you still deem it not doable and not necesarry when we limit the
number of tables to critical Master Data tables ?
Why don't you find it necesarry ?
Kind regards,
Christian
