LiveCompare may be used to help in several phases of an S4/HANA Upgrade lifecycle event.

Prepare

  • Before beginning an S4/HANA upgrade, the SAP HANA upgrade analysis app may be used to assess the impact of the upgrade on development, testing, integration, security and end users.

Build

  • The Code Watch app may be used in the Build phase to check all custom code changes against SAP best practices for quality and security.

  • The Retrofit Date Analysis app may be used to find all the code and data changes made in the production support system since a given start date that should be integrated into the Rise pipeline.

  • The Retrofit Transports Analysis app may be used to find all the code and data changes made in production support transports that should be integrated into the Rise pipeline.

Test

  • The Smart Impact app may be used to identify the impacted most-at-risk objects to test, and to review test coverage.

Deploy

  • The Release Assurance app may be used to verify that the changes following an S4/HANA upgrade are safe to be promoted to Production.
