In the case of a system conversion where SAP ECC is the source system, you first need to implement a Transport-based Correction Instruction (TCI) to get the Data Transition Validation Tool inside the system.
Let’s assume that the TCI implementation process is enabled in your ECC system and that the prerequisites are satisfied, as mentioned in this SAP Help article.
To get the maximum benefit from this tool, you should use the latest version of Data Transition Validation Tool and this is precisely what you will do in this lesson.
You can follow the Data Transition Validation Tool Central Note for more information about the latest Data Transition Validation Tool release.

In the following simulation, you will perform all the actions needed to install the data transition validation tool version 1.6.
Note
SAP periodically releases SAP Notes to fix bugs in the data transition validation tool. Check the corresponding SAP Delivery Note to see if there are any notes for your tool version.
