2. Agenda Understand the purpose of Data Transfer Tool
Benefits of using tool
Brief Technical Overview
Demo, Installation and Configuration

3. Loading Data into Ariba
Two means
Directly by users through the User Interface
Remotely through the Data Transfer Tool(automated way)
Benefits of the data transfer tool
Can load data in bulk sets
Can be used in both Windows and Unix environments
Can be coordinated with an ERP to load data based on a scheduled basis

4. Loading Data through UI
The Data Transfer Tool performs exactly the same Import Tasks

5. Data Transfer Tool Overview
Ariba Data transfer Tool Command Line Utility
CSV file transfer in batch mode between your Ariba system and your backend system, manually-maintained data, or some other system.
The Ariba Data Transfer Tool is a command-line utility that facilitates data transfer in batch mode between your backend system and your Ariba system.
Data is transferred in the form of comma-separated-value (CSV/XLS) files.
You can use the Ariba Data Transfer Tool with a scheduler to export transactional data, such as expense reports, from Ariba to your backend system or import or export master data from your backend system to Ariba.
You can import master data only as a batch import task

6. How to download ITK? Login to https://connect.ariba.com
Download integrationtoolkit.jar file
File will have both the data transfer tool(DTT) and DB Connector.
The focus of this presentation is on DTT. DB connector is not in scope for SAP

7. Data Transfer Tool Requirement
The computer must have internet connectivity
Data is transferred to Ariba servers over the internet
Minimum Java SE 1.6.0_13 installed
A working Unix or Windows based system is needed

8. Extract Downloaded .jar file
Extract downloaded .jar file to a desired location

9. Extract Downloaded .jar file(continued…)
Extract downloaded .jar file to a desired location

10. Data Transfer Tool Usage
Upload Master Data to Ariba System
e.g. Users, Groups, Suppliers, Accounting etc.
Upload Transactional Data to Ariba System
e.g. Requisitions, Receipts
Download transactional Data from Ariba System
e.g. POs, Receipts, Ok2Pay etc.

11. Realm Communication Communication happens over HTTPS
To Communicate with a realm, the name of realm and it’s shared secrete and integration password are required
The shared secret is often encrypted before it is entered into the parameter files for security
The encryption script comes with the data transfer tool (called encrypt string)
This is not a requirement
The presentation will use the GSO Sandbox SAP test realm for examples
Real name: gsosandbox-sap-t
Integration Password: ariba1234

12. DTT Option Files Data Download sample script Full Data Download
masterdata.bat (Windows) and masterdata.sh (UNIX)
Incremental Data Download
transactionaldata.bat (Windows) and transactionaldata.sh (UNIX)
Data Upload Sample Script
Full Data Upload
Incremental Data Upload
incremental-masterdata.bat (Windows) and incremental-masterdata.sh (UNIX)
The OOTB nomenclature has been kept
The files can be called anything

13. Option file defines parameter required for data transfer
Several Parameters
Java Home Directory
Example, set JAVA_HOME =C:\ProgramFiles\Java\jre7
The name of your realm
Example, set site=mycompany
The service mode
Example, 0
The integrationPasswordKeyPath (or shared secrete)
The directory from upload where CSV files will be uploaded into Ariba
The server information
address
Specific Upload event
Complete reference of all parameters can be found in the Ariba integration toolkit guide

14. Example of setting Option file
 set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files\Java\jre7
 set site=gsosandbox-sap-T
[if your site is then your site is: mycompany]
 set serviceMode=0
 set integrationPasswordKeyPath=C:\ITK\Passowords\password.txt
 set
 set smtpMailServer=us-hqmail3.ariba.com
 set topDir=C:\ITK\Folder
Plus…
set event="Import Batch Data“
set operation=full-upload
set logDir=%topDir%\logs
set inDir=%topDir%\InDir
set outDir=%topDir%\OutDir
set encryptionKeyPath=C:\ITK\Passwords\CustomerKey.txt

15. The Encryption Process
The ecryptKeyPath has to be set, it will be used for encryption purpose
Used with encryptcustomerkey.bat, it has to be 24 alphanumeric characters long
It does not need to be encrypted but Ariba recommends its encryption
If no path is specified, the transfer will fail
The integrationPasswordKeyPath is required to authenticate with Ariba OnDemand Product for data transfer
Used with encryptstring.bat
Ariba recommends the encryption of this shared secrete
Where to find details of encryption process
Ariba integration toolkit guide available through connect and on-demand product help menu. Members of customer admin will have access to download the document.

16. Encrypting Customer Key
Use option file masterdata.bat or masterdata.sh which contains the JAVA_HOME parameter
Navigate to directory pointed as in below screenshot.
The encrypted password is: {3DES}+X2dRuzC038gCRlYcWeT7E3PVrrjOPAW3pfIXsv2sh6XiGX2IOVtUA==
Encryption algorithm used is triple DES
All encrypted strings will start “{3DES}”
You need to copy this string into a text file and specify its path in the masterdata.bat file

17. Encryption Integration Password
Use option file masterdata.bat or masterdata.sh which contains the JAVA_HOME parameter
Navigate to directory pointed as in below screenshot
The encrypted password is: {3DES}T/MpozmU1tHvWBIpzvPLmK8gEOzDZMzTF7+3ucDaCrU=
Encryption algorithm used is triple DES
All encrypted strings will start “{3DES}”
You need to copy this string into a text file and specify its path in the masterdata.bat file

18. Performing The Upload Recall the specified topdir and indir parameters
set topDir=C:\ITK\MaterData
set inDir=%topDir%\InDir
Placing file to Upload in %topDir%\InDir\Test
File placed is AccountType.csv

19. Email Notification Format

20. Load Status in User Interface

21. Load Status in User Interface (continued..)

22. Next Steps Identify required resources are available
Technical Resources
Computer Systems
Scheduling of ERP Data Dumps
Discuss necessity of options for setting up the data transfer tool
Setting up necessary parameters with Ariba’s assistance when required
Perform a test run on your own test realm
