LSM Workbench
The LSM Workbench is an SAP-based tool that supports transferring data from non-SAP systems ("Legacy
Systems") to SAP systems once or periodically. Furthermore, the LSM Workbench provides a recording
function that allows generating a "data migration object" in an entry or change transaction

Basic Principles of the LSM Workbench

The LSM Workbench was developed on the basis of the R/2-R/3 Migration Workbench that has been
used many hundred times in the past and is still used presently.
The following concepts and techniques from the R/2-R/3 Migration Workbench were adopted:
Business objects instead of individual tables or field contents are migrated.
The conversion rules to be defined are flexible and can be customized in the frame of migration customizing
to meet the actual situation in the project in the user system.
Preprogrammed conversion programs are not delivered. These programs are rather generated on the basis
of the defined rules.
The LSM Workbench was developed on the basis of the following principles:
Most of the functions should reside in the SAP system. No collection of individual programs on different
platforms.
The quality and consistence of the data imported into the SAP system should be more important than speed
and performance of data migration.
Existing knowledge and coding should be used.
The developed "mapping" and rules should be reusable and thus be used repeatedly in projects.
On this basis, a concept was developed that is represented in the following chart:

Schematic Flow of Data Migration with the LSM Workbench

The main advantages of the LSM Workbench:

 Part of the SAP system and thus independent of individual platforms
 Creation of data migration objects on the basis of recorded transactions
 Interface for data on fronted
 Mass uploading of the Data to overcome the time factor of Data Entry
