Overview


Info

Datavard Validate is an automated solution for data validation of mainly SAP BW systems after upgrades, OS/DB migrations, NLS implementations, SLO transformations, or day-to-day validation of data correctness and completeness.

  2. Time saved can be reinvested into higher priority projects
  3. Extensive and complete testing

  • BW Query validation
  • BW Info Provider content validation (Listcube)
  • BW transformations validation
