Master Data replication
Master data replication tool loades data from configured tables and fields using RFC connection and stores it locally. This data is used by AI tool to find connections between texts and codes of objects and also relationships between the objects.
Replicating master data allows for using natural language business descriptions when searching for test cases, for example:
Materials from product hierarchy Sweets
Tooling will browse hierarchy for “Sweets” and link relevant materials using matching product hierarchy code
Sales Orders for Germany
Tooling will check which sales organizations are relevant for Germany and use that as a filter to select Orders IDOC’s referring these sales organizations

Data load
Execute transaction /INT4/AI_MDATA
Selection parameters:
RFC destination - RFC destination from which data will be loaded
Table names - list of tables from configuration that should be reloaded, if empty, all will be reloaded
Language for Text Tables - languages for which text table data will be loaded
Program loads selected tables and fields from source system, builds relationships between the tables using foreign keys definitions and stores results in local system.
Note: For loading the data from source system, it needs to have the function module ‘/INT4/IFTT_F_COLLECT_RESLT_RFC’ installed and updated to version from release 3.11. We recommend installing the most recent Int4 Suite Add-on on the source system.
