DDR – Template Application
This guide introduces the Template application in Dynamic Data Replicator (DDR) and explains how it is used to design and manage data replication processes. Templates allow users to define source and target systems, business objects, filtering logic, and data scrambling rules in a structured and reusable format, ensuring consistency and efficiency across replication activities..
The Dynamic Data Replicator (DDR) Template application is a valuable tool that assists customers in designing the replication process. It enables users to define all the essential information required for data replication within a structured template.

The Template application is used to define how DDR should execute a replication run. Instead of building the replication setup manually each time, users can create a reusable template that stores the key replication rules and configuration.
Defines the SAP source and target systems involved in the replication process. Stores the business objects and related tables that need to be replicated. Controls the data selection criteria, such as date range, company code, plant, or object key. Supports data protection by applying scrambling rules to sensitive fields during replication. Allows templates to be reused, exported, and imported where required.
Templates help standardise replication design, reduce repeated manual setup, and improve governance. They allow DDR users to execute data refreshes with consistent rules, controlled filters, and repeatable security settings.
Template Application
The template can include details such as the source system, target system, business objects to be replicated, filter conditions for data selection, and scrambling options for enhanced security. These templates are reusable entities, allowing users to export and import them as needed.
By utilising the DDR Template application, customers can streamline the replication process and ensure consistency, control, and efficiency across their data replication activities.
