DISCLAIMER: The purpose of this blog is to provide guidance to fast track your SANDBOX conversion. Tool parameters are for shortest overall run time with maximum downtime. The author will not take over any responsibility of the consequences this may cause. Please use the blog for sequence of the process after going through the latest GUIDES.
S/4HANA 1809 FPS1 Conversion Guide <==pdf
Converting SAP Systems to S/4HANA Using Software Update Manager 2.0 <== pdf
DMO Guide <==pdf
The Source System is ECC6/EHP5/ora
TIP: If you get error in phase PREP_INPUT_CHECK/SUMCHK! – Source release 731 SP 0 needs at least SP 1 for update scenarios with target ‘753’. The 1809 Release Note 2625407 states that min in NW for EHP3 is EHP3 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SP01.
Also note that you will have to create stack.xml after the stack level has been upgraded to the min level.
Please note OS is Windows 2012R2
You can use PAM tool - Product Availability Matrix to determine if OS meets the requirement prior to system conversion.
STEP 1: SOURCE - OPERATING SYSTEM
You can use PAM tool - Product Availability Matrix to determine if OS meets the requirement prior to system conversion.
Please refer note below for recommended Application Server Platforms:
2620910 - SAP S/4HANA 1511, 1610, 1709 and SAP BW/4HANA 1.0: Recommended Application Server Platform...
TIP: For S/4HANA 1809 FPS1 conversion, customers had to upgrade Operating system from Windows 2012 to Windows 2016, and even though the source system will be decommissioned. This is because the client of HANA 2.0 db needs Windows 2016.2620910 - SAP S/4HANA 1511, 1610, 1709 and SAP BW/4HANA 1.0: Recommended Application Server Platform...
STEP 2: SOURCE - UPGRADE DATABASE
Upgrade database to Oracle version 12 or higher
as per Note 2644872 – Database Migration Option (DMO) of SUM 2.0 SP04
Please find currently supported releases
2470660 - Central Technical Note for Oracle Database 12c Release 2 (12.2) <==MOST IMP
1915313 - Current Patch Set for Oracle Database 12c
Please use the Guide attached to
2540847 - SAP Guides for Oracle Database Upgrade
The below notes may be useful for troubleshooting
2678215 - Poor Performance in RUN_S4H_SIF_CHECK_INIT using Oracle DB
1622837 - Secure connection of AS ABAP to Oracle via SSFS
2258652 - Connect via table SAPUSER is not supported together with Oracle client rel. 12.1.0.2.0
Oracle 12c upgrade is a very lengthy and elaborate process. Please find the key screenshots here.
Software installation with sapserver.ps1
After "Installation" you ave to apply the patch that has the Upgrade scripts using Patch 9584028 for Windows 64-bit - P9584028GEN12201P_3-70001556.ZIP 
Run Oracle Database Upgrade Assistant
After upgrade ensure all post upgrade steps are completed including Environment variables update, Parameter settings, Update Oracle Instant Client, Remove old Oracle software and Oracle Stats are updated
brconnect.exe -u / -c -o summary -f stats -o SAPSR3 -t all -p 32
Ensure that Oracle database parameter "Compatible" is set to according to release 12 before starting SUM.
STEP 3: SOURCE - CONVERSION USING DMO
Please note that in this blog we are covering scenario of DMO with System Move as shown below. The scenario of DMO with System move is used when you move from one host to another for hardware change, TDI or VM within same data canter. It is also used to move from one data center to another or from On-Prem to Cloud (IAAS). This scenario requires New installation of S/4HANA on target prior to SUM.
This option allows to switch database host only, while keeping the same application server host. It requires HANA DB install on Target host prior to starting SUM tool.
Please extract DMO tool as below 2 commands:
Login as e5oadm in Powershell Run As Administrator execute:
cd E:\usr\sap\E5O
sapcar -xvf E:\sapmedia\download\SUM20SP03_1-80002483.SAR
cd E:\usr\sap\E5O\SUM\abap
.\SUMSTART.BAT confighostagent
TIP: Please check that your /windows/drivers/etc/host file contains entry with IP address mapped to hostname vhcalabaci. c:\users\mahesh>type c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts 10.20.130.140 vhcalabaci vhcalabaci.dummy.nodomain vhcalabacs vhcalabacs.dummy.nodomain
Open Google Chrome browser (latest version recommended) Enter URL:
https://vhcalabaci:1129/lmsl/sumabap/E5O/doc/sluigui
In case you get screen below please click on Advanced and then “Proceed to vhcalabaci(unsafe)"
TIP: If you get message that Page is Unresponsive just click on Wait.
Enter e5oadm/(password you used before) in the screen below
TIP: SUM MailNotifier can be used to get notified by eMail/SMS when SUM displays a dialog so you don’t have to frequently check it for long running phases. It can be configured at PREPROCESSING PHASE later when you have a break. You need a sender email account like summan@gmail.com with password, recipient email like john.doe@digiwatch.com or SMS text like 5551234567@vtext.com 
After this you execute command as root:
vhcals4hci:~ # java -jar MailNotifierApp.jar properties=MailNotifierApp.props
I had to add parameter mail.smtp.starttls.enable=true to the above command for gmail account. Also I had to login to gmail account and then execute link to allow less secure apps. Refer Boris Rubarth's blog at end for more info.
EXTRACTION PHASE
TIP: If you get error manifest signature revoked download latest crlbag.p7s. Do not use old downloaded file crlbag.p7s. Refer SAP Note 2491577 - SUM fails at phase PREP_EXTRACT/SCAN_DOWNLOADDIR with error message "SIGNATURE: m...

=====SWITCH TO TARGET HOST======
STEP 4: TARGET - PREPARE TARGET SYSTEM
Please prepare target system as per blog in New Installation of S/4HANA 1809 FPS0 – Part 2 – Installation
STEP 1: OPERATING SYSTEM
STEP 2: NEW HANA DATABASE (OPTION 2)
STEP 3: S/4HANA INSTALLATION USING SWPM
TIP: In step 3 or the blog, it is not necessary to create a stack file in Maintenace planner and install addon using STEP 4: ADDON INSTALLATION USING SUM, just the base install of S/4HANA 1809 is enough as the schema content will be replaced by DMO tool.

Install using command below:
./sapinst SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=vhcals4hci SAPINST_ACCEPT_INTERNAL_SIGNATURE=true SAPINST_SLP_MODE=falseSTEP 5: TARGET - CONTINUE DMO
First copy the entire SUM directory structure from Source to Target, doesn't matter the platform.
Since SUM is copied from Windows platform to Linux, there is an additional step to be done. After copying all the files, extract the SUM SAR file of the Linux platform over the source files. The same is applicable if you move SUM files other than Linux as source so linux files overlay the Source platform files.
vhcals4hci:e5oadm > cd /usr/sap/E5O
vhcals4hci:e5oadm > SAPCAR -xvf /sapmedia/download/SUM20SP04_0-80002456.SAR
Check that entire filesystem under SUM is owned by e5oadm:sapsys
Upgrade hostagent to latest:
vhcals4hci:# /usr/sap/hostctrl/exe/saphostexec -upgrade -archive /usr/sap/DMS/SAPHOSTAGENT190_190-20005731.SAR
TIP: Target hostname has to be different - DMO does not support having the same host name for source and target. Check that command hostname gives the target hostname which has to be different form source. SUM does not use virtual hostname.
Start DMO. SUM will detect that there is hostname change and will continue:
