Professional Service Accelerators (PSA)

For any PSA that is not supported on the latest Stewardship Tier version, you may be able to get an updated build by contacting the Syniti Solution Management Team (SMT@Syniti.com).
psaAddress Assists users in address cleansing using generic tables that can be adapted to any address cleansing solution. You can view the changes to the addresses, approve or reject them and make additional changes.

Key Features:

  • Relevancy solution included
  • Comes configured for Data Services or Melissa Data
  • Generic Tables that can easily adapt to the address cleansing solution of your choice
  • Simple user interface for address review, approval and modification
  • Final address data exported to be used by downstream waves
 7.1.4
psaAuthenticate Allows users to authenticate to the Stewardship Tier via Single Sign On using SAML, OAuth and Active Directory. 7.2.1
psaCentralWave Supports the identification of relevant master records (Customer, Vendor and Material) in preparation for further processing. Uses a combination of SST-delivered applications and custom configuration that controls either by:
  • # of days or fixed date
  • In and out of scope Company, Sales Organization, Purchasing Organization, Plants, Customer Account Group, Material Type
  • Relevant client by zSource.
  • Specific inclusion or exclusion by object key

Any remaining transactions after the filters are applied are considered relevant therefore causing an associated master record to be relevant.

 

NOTE: psaCentralWave is functionally replaced by Advanced Data Migration Source Relevancy and the Central Wave ECC Knowledge Pack in the 7.4.3 (and later) SST/DSP releases.

 7.1.4-7.4.2

psaCollate

 

 Key Features:
  • Ability to turn on Case Collation on several key applications
  • Ability to turn on databases used within a wave to be case sensitive
  • Changes will allow value mapping for migration in upper and lower case

  • No manual overrides required for auto-generated objects.

NOTE: psaCollate is functionally replaced by the collation technology in the 7.4.5 (and later) SST/DSP releases. If psaCollate is installed on an instance that will be upgraded to 7.4.5, you must uninstall it before upgrading to 7.4.5. To uninstall psaCollate refer to the Knowledge Base article psaCollate Incompatible with SST 7.4.5+.

 7.1.4-7.4.4
psaDataFilter
 Splits data from a current ERP System into table format as a source for a new target system. This divestiture tool uses Collect to extract the initial data tables. Organizational Field filters are created in the application. The Build Filters process creates the views that will extract only the data to be sent to the new company. 7.1.4-7.4.3
psaDBAdmin Provides each project with extra functionality to assist ADM success. There are Database, Database Table, Current SQL Processes, Tech Lead, DB Add File, Custom Change, Collect Admin, Database Monitoring, Server Audit and Configuration tabs used in the product.
Key Features:
  • Create, backup, take offline and detach databases.
  • Ability to view database columns and indexes.

 7.1.4-7.4.4
psaHarmonize Harmonizes data into logical groupings that business users can confirm and use to load downstream objects. The app makes setup and the user experience straightforward and simple. There are switchboards that contain metrics at a glance, and dashboarding to visually represent progress and potential issues. 7.1.4-7.4.2
psaPayrollCompare Compares payroll results between SAP and a legacy system to ensure that all pieces of payroll are working correctly, and that the employees are being paid the proper amount. 7.1.4
psaPerformanceBench Processes automatic building of bulk processing rules in Transform for the automated mapping actions. The mapping actions of COPY, DEFAULT, RULE, XREF and CONSTRUCT can be combined into a single SQL Update command to decrease runtime. The application does not delete any SQL objects already generated or remove any Transform registrations. The process sets rules from ACTIVE to BULKUPD so the rules do not process in Transform. The application also has a DELTA process for Collect to download large tables by year to reduce download times and\or a process for perpetual data loads.

7.1.4-7.4.4
psaProjectQA Provides each project with extra functionality to assist ADM success, including an issue tracker for project related issues and metrics charts to help management understand the project completion. There are DOCIT & TrackIt options for clients that require more documentation on every step that is being executed. Pre-Load and Post-Load reports auto generate for the business to complete the verification. An advanced copy wave process is also included to help in the copy and validation of the wave. 7.1.4-7.4.4
psaSAPConfiguration Has two key features to help project work with SAP Data Migration: 
  • Uses SPRO to find “optional” fields - turned “required” - based upon SAP Configuration. 
  • Compares two SAP Systems looking for different configuration values. The process can also be used to compare SAP ERP to MDG where the configuration should be identical.
 This application saves critical time during load cycles and initial configuration.		 7.1.4
psaTransport A code comparison and code transportation tool used to promote code in multi-tier environments. Identifies what needs to be promoted versus what does not need to be promoted. Key features:
  • Code Approval Process (that can be toggled on or off)
  • History and Auditing for code promotions
  • Templates for easy configuration
  • Extendable to suit individual needs
  • Allows for documentation of the code promotion process and approval process
  • Explicitly ignore databases upon promotion
  • You can choose to Sync table values without doing a comparison of the data
  • You can choose to compare table values without doing a sync of the data
  • You can choose to ignore entire columns within a table when promoting
Some of this functionally is replaced in the 7.4 (and later) SST/DSP releases by a core component named Promote.		 7.1.4
