SAP BW IOBJ conversion to SAP BW4HANA IOBJ

The classic BW request status management (RSSM) based on Request IDs (0REQUID) is not available with SAP BW/4HANA.

SAP BW/4HANA has a new request status and process management (RSPM) based on Request Transaction Sequence Numbers (0REQTSN)

Now it is mandatory step need to convert Master data info objects / Open hub destination using below Task list run

SAP_BW4_TRANSFER_REDAY4CONV -> task list is applicable for IOBJ/OHD

In the task list given 0FUNDTYPE as input, 0REQUID become into 0REQTSN

      Hi all,
      maybe it is helpful to add, that this step is only relevant for inplace conversions to SAP BW/4HANA.In Shell/Remote conversions, data is processed in the new BW/4HANA system based on the new request mgmt anyway.

      During that inplace process you go through different modes (BW mode - Compatibility mode - B4H mode - Ready4Conversion mode). The activity described above migrates the request mgmt from RSSM to RSPM for IOBJ Characteristics and OHDs  when you change to the last mode shortly before the technical conversion from NetWeaver to BW/4HANA. This task will collect all IOBJ Characteristics and OHDs, then it will check whether there are any RSSM requests and convert those to RSPM if there are any.
      In a large system, this can be be a quite long running process (several hrs). Besides, system checks if these TLOGO objects are active and if TRFN/DTPs are active. So it makes sense to check that before to avoid delays in the task processing.
