SRC2.0 - Setup

System Identification

The System which is suppose to be identified for SRC2.0 should have all the recent and used Business process that is being used in an Customers ERP environment. Thus for that it should be either a direct Production system or a system which is the recent Production Copy with workload Statistic data loaded for at least 6 months. So the system which matches the mentioned quality should be identified as Source system for SAP readiness Check 2.0. Also the Analysis that has rendered as a output is based on insights that are client independent and shall cover the insights of all the productive clients under the landscape in which SRC is executed.

The Source system identified will be used for Readiness Check 2.0. The report needs to be executed in identified system only . Please refer note 2758146 for more information.

SRC 2.0 Architecture - Remote and Source System

Remote system

Remote system standalone NW 7.52 or above necessary to complete the technical analysis on custom code to measure the impact of simplification items brought in for S/4HANA. The SCI variant S4HANA_READINESS _XXXX (XXXX can be 1809/1909) is only available on NW version 7.52 and above. The only option available for the same is to install a standalone NW system in the current landscape and enable an RFC connectivity with the Source system for custom Code Analysis.

Remote System Pre-requisite

ATC Configuration for System Role – Configure the Remote system to behave as a central check system by changing the system Role to ATC checks by Object Providers only.

Please refer the steps - Open Transaction ATC and select System Role under the Setup option.

- Click on edit and choose radio button option ATC check by Object Providers Only

ATC Configure Object Providers – Object provider configuration is needed to collect program information in remote system. To configure Object Provider please refer Steps -Open Transaction ATC and select Object Providers under the Setup option

- Create a new System Group

- Save the same. Next create RFC Object Providers

- Add new id and description, select system group created in the step above. Select the RFC destination created for the source system for custom code analysis. Once done select save. The object provider entries are for reference purpose only and in actual config you need to include valid entries e.g. Sample is for reference purpose only, please include actual RFC destination associated with the source system for custom code analysis system and for other fields as well.

SCI import check variants – Check Variants Contains the series of Checks that are supposed to be crossly apply on the Custom Code to Assess there Compatibility W.r.t to the DB or Data model changes.To perform custom code analysis, SCI Check variants needs to be imported into the remote system. Please perform the steps .

- Open Transaction SCI and navigate to Utilities -> Import Check Variants.

This should bring in all the check variants into the system.

-Check if the variant (in Remote system S4HANA_Readiness_REMOTE or S4HANA_READINESS_XXXX where XXXX can be 1511, 1610, 1709 or 1809/1909) are being imported in the screen as shown below

Simplification Database to be loaded in Remote system

The Simplification Database contains the list of all the Simplifications Items that refers various Line of Business within SAP . These Items that are simplified in an SAP product (for example, SAP S/4HANA). The Simplification database needed to perform the Custom Code impact based on the Simplification items applied on the Lobs according to the change in Data model.. Refer steps here-

The detailed steps for downloading the simplification database is mentioned in OSS note 2241080. The DB Download should be in sync of the Target S/4HANA version Customer is aspiring for. E.g. if you plan to upgrade to S/4HANA 1809 /1909 then download the database for 1809 /1909 system.

To upload the simplification database in the remote system, open transaction code SYCM and navigate to menu path Simplification Database -> Import from Zip File.

Simplification Catalog in Source system

Simplification Catalog is the segregation of all the simplified items that are very much needed to evaluate the changes that can create impacts on existing ECC system on comparison to the simplified data model of S/4HANA. It is the delicately marked place for the collection of S/4HANA simplification items.Thus to analyze the simplification items impacts for Functional /Business Impact Analysis simplification catalog needs to be downloaded. The process is described below

.Download Simplification Catalog for Readiness Check To download the simplification catalog for Readiness check report, we can download the same directly using the report or from the support portal. Also, the same can be downloaded by using the report /SDF/RC_START_CHECK. Please refer steps -

To download the Simplification Catalog using the report /SDF/RC_START_CHECK. Get to the selection screen of the program and check if the simplification item catalog source is marked at Latest version through auto update. Also, the Catalog Download must be in sync of the Target S/4HANA version, you execute the report and a new version is available. If the radio button is not checked for auto update, you can change the same by clicking on switch source.

If the above fails due to RFC SAPOSS connectivity issue, then you can download the same from here (Select the latest product version based on S/4HANA Target version and download the file using the download simplification item button on top of the report). You can use the Upload Simplification Item Catalog button to load the downloaded file.

If it is set up for local version the file needs to be uploaded manually using the Upload Simplification Item Catalog.

Thus Post Doing the Catalog Load . Setup for SRC2.0 Seems to attain a finish line just assure the requested notes and setup steps has been performed as explained.
