Define data sources and load system data

In data source administration, data sources are defined to load and manage system data of connected systems. Basic settings specify if data is loaded from data sources and if data on data sources is considered in reports.

On a Supermaster system, Submaster systems can be connected in the data source administration via Master Synchronization Points.

note

For more information about using the Supermaster function, see Snow Optimizer for SAP® Software User Guide.
