Here is the video for this blog:

As a prep you may like to empty the download basket for your S-000 user so that any files added to the download basket are meant for this task and will help to ensure that only the required files are included.

You need to login to Maintenance Planner to access system assigned to your S-user. Please ensure landscape data is uploaded to SAP support portal via LMDB of SAP Solution Manager. The system that you are converting has to be defined in OSS under your customer ID. The diagram below shows the Maintenance planner cloud service and how it integrates with Customer system.The source system data is (1) sent to SLD. (2) data from SLD is synchronized with Landscape Management Database (LMDB). (3) From LMDB the data is uploaded to customer profile in SAP support portal using Solman daily job – “landscape Fetch”. If there is issue in replicating you may be asked to apply Note 2186164 – Problem in replicating systems to Maintenance Planner
TIP: This data based on Customer Number is used by Maintenance Planner for all planning activities. So ensure you use same customer number to define system in sapnet as well as use same S-user id.

Select the Fiori tile Plan for SAP S/4HANA

Choose Install a new SAP S/4HANA system. You can click on the link for the SAP S/4HANA Installation Guide for the documentation and click on Next.

Click on Push to Download Basket. This will load the Download Basket with files you need.

In the pdf file downloaded above, in the Planned Changes section there is a link provided that takes you directly to Service Marketplace to download the media.

In case you want to install new HANA DATABASE please download media below. If you already have a database the procedure to add database container will be shown in next part. Add this to the download basket.

If you want to install LiveCache you will require the HANA database LCAPPS plugin as below:

Download all the media and separate the following into separate directories for convenience under /sapmedia:

51050947_EXP1
51050947_LANG (optional)
51051135_SCM (optional)
51051522_CLIENT
51051432_KERNEL (optional)
51051151_HANASP12_4

      Hi Mahesh,

      thanks for those blogs on how to initially install S/4HANA 1610.
      Do you also have experience you can share with us in regards to upgrading an existing S/4HANA 1511 to 1610?
      (I heard rumors about this not working so well, e.g. MARC-Appends getting lost completely in the process, do you know anything in that regard?)

      best

      Hi Joachim,

      Some customers have already upgraded to S/4HANA 1610 their dev/qas landscape and are on way to move further in the project.

      Keep in mind that from 1511 to 1610 you need to go through upgrade guide and run the precheck programs "similar" to the ERP to S/4HANA but much less work involved.

      - Mahesh

      Hi Mahesh,

      many thanks for your valuable blogs! As you started in early November, you installed S/4HANA1610 with HANA 1.0. Now HANA 2.0 is out and the SAP HANA Server Installation and Update Guide is already based on HANA Platform Edition 2.0. Which HANA Platform Release do you suggest for installing a new S/4HANA1610 system?

      Best regards,
      Monika

      Hi Monika,

      Although Release note 2346431 - SAP S/4HANA 1610: Release Information Note states that minimum required revision of HANA DB is 121, at present HANA 2.0 is not recommended for S/4HANA 1610.
      Thanks,

      Hi Mashesh,

      We need to use SAP BPC 10.1 on S/4 HANA. We know We have to install the required Add-on but We are not sure which one must be installed for this purpose.

      We are stuck in the step " Install or Maintain an Add-on"

      Do you by chance know which one need to be installed?

      Thanks,

      Hi Mahesh,

      Can you please provide the configuration steps for Live Cache on S4 HANA 1610

      Hi Jitendhar,

      You need to create DBCON-entries for the connection LCA, LDA and LEA (see SAP Note 1825703 – Migration SCM on SAP HANA with integrated SAP HANA liveCache ), execute the GRANT of this note. After this he should run program SLCA_INIT_FOLLOW_UP and /SAPAPO/OM_CREATE_LC_TABLES.
      You should schedule jobs: /sapapo/om_reorg_daily in each client which is liveCache relevant (per default all clients beside 000) one time every day, /sapapo/om_delete_old_simsess in one client which is LC-relevant every 30 minutes, and /sapapo/om_lcaalerts in one client every 12 hours. - Mahesh

      Hello Mahesh,

      Thanks for your notes! Very useful! Did you also activated Fiori in this S/4HANA 1610? As I saw, you created this S/4HANA with embedded Fiori frontend.

      Could you also share this with us, please?

      Hello Mahesh,

      I can see that there is an option "Java Adapter Selection" during maintenance planner run.

      I went through the S/4 HANA "Getting Started Guide" as well as "Installation Guide" and did not manage to find anything related to this Java Adapter, May I ask what this is for ?

       

      There are also 2 options offered for the Target Version for "Java Adapter Selection", namely

      NW 7.51 FOR S/4 HANA OP 1610

      SAP S/4 HANA Java

      Adobe Document Services

      Enterprise Services Repository

      Advanced Adapter Engine Extnd

      SAP S/4 HANA 1610

      Integration for Elster

      Integration for Swift

       

      I am not sure which option I have to pick up.

      Thanks.

      Hi Chiwo,

      S/4HANA 1610 FPS0 standard installation does not require Java Adapter selection, Please let me know exactly what you are trying to install so I can look at component requirement.
