Introduction:

I, Pradeep Srigiri working as Architect and has around 15 years of experience in SAP. Currently, I work for YASH Technologies. This blog post consists of High-Level technical information on S/4HANA Conversion Road Map from SAP Basis perspective from On-Premise to Cloud or Vice-Versa or Cloud to Cloud. However, I would like to recommend following the SAP Standard Guides & SAP Notes during the S/4HANA Conversion Process. This blog post will take you there in a structured method for current release and can use same process for other releases to find out the details easily.

Addon Compatibility Check

  • Retrieves the add-on and business function data from Maintenance Planner
  • Check SAP Note 2214409
  • Business functions
  • Simplification Item Check to identify the mandatory steps before converting your system.
  • CVI Conversion Prep

Custom Code Migration & Simplification Item Checks:

  • Need to be performed by the respective teams using the latest custom code apps provided by SAP and implement the SAP Notes related to the Simplification Item Checks in the system before the Basis Team runs the SUM tool to start the Technical Conversion

Conversion Planning – landscape

Parallel Landscape Build

  • Implement emergency fixes and to reduce the timelines for the code-freeze – build a parallel conversion/migration landscape.
  • Any emergency change that is implemented in production landscape should also be applied in conversion/migration landscape.

It’s always recommended to have Sandbox ready with a copy of Production System in order to start the S/4HANA Conversion to have a better under standing on the impact and procedure that can be followed in the upcoming systems with lessons learn during the Sandbox System conversion. However, the above Parallel Landscape is being used only for Development, Quality & Production Systems

High Level Roadmap

  • Below pictorial diagram shows the process flow to achieve S/4HANA Conversion & Migration to Cloud or to On-Premise

Sap Netweaver 7.5 Minimum System Requirements

High Level Cost Estimate

H/W Estimates:

  • To determine the H/W sizing, implement SAP Note 1872170: Enabling SAP S/4HANA sizing
  • Execute the program /SDF/HDB_SIZING in SE38
  • or select the pre-check option in SAP Readiness Check Report RC_COLLECT_ANALYSIS_DATA

Sap Netweaver Portal Flynnrg

Result: Upload the ZIP file in Readiness Check Link

  • Below is the Sizing information
  • Sizing for SAP Applications can be determined based on the current landscape for DEV, QAS & PRD systems with some additional increase in the Hardware Resources

S/W Estimates:

  • Based on the system requirements column, any one of the mentioned releases & version can be on the source system to perform the conversion to S/4HANA
  • S/4HANA 1909: Impact on current landscape – Use Upgrade Dependency Analyzer from Support Portal : https://apps.support.sap.com/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ)/support/uda/main.htm and System Requirements for NetWeaver
  • Procurement of S/4HANA License from SAP
  • Identify the Solution Approach based on the existing releases
  • Based on the Solution Approach, estimate the man days required for Basis to perform

Pre-Conversion Action list

Basis:

Sap Netweaver Minimum System Requirements

  • Implement SAP Notes related to pre-checks using SNOTE
  • Remove Client 066 – Not used in S/4HANA: Check SAP Note 1749142

  • Use Maintenance Planner to calculate stack.xml file and download files required for S/4HANA conversion
  • Perform OS Prerequisites on S/4HANA Application & Target HANA Server
  • Download the HANA Installation Media
  • Setup Target HANA Server based on the Installation Guide
  • Perform the prerequisites for HANA DMO – if required. For Prerequisites check SAP Notes 2882441 & 2832250

Target Landscape

  • Based on the source SAP, DB & OS versions – below are the Major migration options

Note: Target or Source can be On-Premise or Cloud

  1. One Step Migration: HANA DMO with S/4 HANA Conversion during the same maintenance window

2. Two Step Migration: Existing SAP/DB Upgrade and HANA DMO with S/4HANA Conversion

or

Sap Netweaver 7.5 System Requirements

Lift & Shift AS-IS to Cloud and HANA DMO with S/4HANA Conversion

  • HANA DMO required if source is on Non-HANA DB

Conclusion:

I would like to conclude that I have validated the SAP SUM DMO Guides and S/4HANA Conversion Guides from Support Portal and relevant information from the Notes mentioned in this blog post. I have followed the above mentioned steps & process and was able to achieve the goal which is S/4HANA 1909 conversion. Tamilukkum amudhendru per song free download.
