  • Migrate data from SAP Systems to SAP S/4HANA

  • Greenfield or Migration from R/3, Rollouts by country or business unit

  • Generate Testdata/SampleData

  • Provide a comprehensive migration solution with no programming required by the customer

  • Map data structures between source and target systems

  • Easily integrate custom objects

  • Reduce test effort

  • Make the migration solution auditable


 

New Features in 1809 FPS0 Migration Cockpit:

Obsolete function module for Business Partner Migration

2506041 - S4TWL - API RFC_CVI_EI_INBOUND_MAIN is not supported from the release S/4 HANA OP 1709 FPS2 and in Cloud Edition 1805 onwards

(Use new Migration Object with new API, the old migration object is still available but 'deprecated')

 

 

Planned for 1809 FPS1:

New Fiori Application (not a webdynpro any more!) to extract Data directly from R/3 and transfer by RFC and Migration Cockpit into S/4HANA

there is a Filter Condition (Like Company Code), it should be possible to adapt the criteria for the Data Selection.



New Features from older Releases:

1709 FPS2:

New Report DMC_MC_SIMULATE_IMPORT_FILE

with this report you can upload Migration-Files (or staging tables) directly from sapgui without using the browser (faster process for simulations/tests iterations)

also check:

Note 6301833 Run an import simulation for a file migration object

Note 2665339 S/4HANA 1709 FPS01 / FPS02 - Migration - Run an import simulation for a staging migration object

 

There are new functions for Debugging and create Test-Data in the Simulate Import Report.

 

Large Files:

Upload Large Files: From 1709 FPS2 its also possible to upload ZIP Files

with Parameter icm/HTTP/max_request_size_KB you can increase the Size Limit to 160MB, this is also the maximum size Limit for the ZIP File.

 

Staging Tables

It is now possible to use Staging Tables instead of Files as input source for migration cockpit:



so the source-staging-tables are on a different database/schema and can be filled by any tool (abap/sql/etc)

also check this blog:

https://blogs.sap.com/2018/03/13/working-with-staging-tables-in-s4hana-migration-cockpit-onpremise/

be sure you also check the note mentionned in blog as some restrictions are with staging tables compared to file.

it is now also possible to use more than one data Transfer Job in parallel when working with staging tables.

 

 

Mandatory Fields

if you want to change fields to be optional, you can do this in /NLTMOM by changing the view:



Goto Detail View / change from ‚Expected‘ to ‚enabled‘

like this you can avoid error message on uploading the files.

(of Course if the function or Customizing requires this field it will produce an error message)

 

SAP Notes:

Use Report DMC_NOTE_ANALYZER to list all Migration cockpit related notes which have not been implemented.
