SAP HANA Migration Assessment app

The SAP HANA Migration Assessment app analyzes your current SAP system and reports on the which areas to consider when you upgrade to a target S/4 HANA system. The app reports on the following:

  • Impacted Used Custom Code
  • Custom Code Quality
  • Unused Custom Code
  • Used Obsolete Transactions
  • Impacted Used Standard Code
  • Object Usage
  • Impacted Custom and Standard IDOCs
  • Impacted Profiles and Authorizations
  • SPDD and SPAU Objects

The app SAP Business Suite on HANA and SAP S/4 HANA on SAP kernel releases 700 and above, on any SAP BASIS or Windows Application Server product from release 700 to 74x.

When you run the app, you specify the SAP As-Is and To-Be systems that the analysis will use:

  • The As-Is system is an SAP instance at the current SAP version.

  • The To-Be system an SAP instance at the target SAP version.

The To-Be system doesn’t need to be an upgraded instance. The app’s results assist with the tasks required to perform the upgrade.

You don’t need to install the LiveCompare Add-on on either SAP system. A data extract program runs on each system to extract the data the analysis needs. You’ll need to download the program’s source code from LiveCompare and use SAP transaction SE38 to install it on each SAP system.

The program stores the extracted data in As-Is and To-Be ZIP archives. You upload these into LiveCompare to create Universal Extracts (LUXes) for the As-Is and To-Be systems.

Prerequisites

Before you run the app, follow the steps outlined in the Perform an SAP HANA migration assessment topic to load and run the data extract program on your As-Is and To-Be systems, and to upload the results into LiveCompare to create LUXes for the As-Is and To-Be systems.

Run the app

To run the SAP HANA Migration Assessment app, select the app from the Apps screen and create an app variant. Set the As-Is LUX field to the LUX uploaded for your As-Is system, and the To-Be LUX field to the LUX uploaded for your To-Be system. Edit the AAQ Select List parameter if required to specify the quality scenarios, categories and rules to be used in the analysis. The Upgrade scenario is selected by default.

Click Run. When the variant has completed, you can access its results from the App Cockpit screen.

  • The Used Standard vs. Used Custom pie chart displays a usage summary for the used standard and custom code objects on the As-Is system.
  • The Used vs. Impacted Custom column chart summarizes the used and impacted custom code objects.
  • The Used vs. Unused Custom pie chart displays a usage summary for the used and unused custom code objects on the As-Is system.
  • The SPDD & SPAU column chart provides a summary of the SPDD and SPAU objects that may need to be adjusted following a migration.
  • The Code Complexity pie chart provides a summary of the custom code on the As-Is system, grouped by code quality.
  • The Custom Code Quality column chart provides a summary of the quality rule violations in the custom code, grouped by rule type. The number of objects with quality rule violations in each rule category is reported.

Testing

Integration

  • The Impacted Interfaces column chart provides a summary of the impacted standard and custom IDOCs, showing the number of segments that are added in the As-Is system, deleted in the To-Be system, and different in each of the systems. Click this chart to display the Integration Dashboard report.

Security

  • The Impacted Roles column chart displays the number of roles impacted by the migration. These roles have authorization objects that have been either added or removed on the To-Be system. Click this chart to display the Security Dashboard report.

Training

  • The Used Obsolete Transactions pie chart summarizes the used obsolete transactions on the To-Be systems, indicating the number of transactions that are obsolete (without a replacement), and the number of transactions for which a replacement transaction is available on the To-Be system.
