Upgrading from BW to BW/4HANA or SAP Datasphere is a complicated process made even more complex by the large amount of data and structures from the existing BW objects being transferred to the new BW/4HANA or SAP Datasphere compatible objects. Most businesses have a high number of objects that need to be converted along with the transfer of transactional data from their current database structure to a new one.

 

When you convert a data flow from BW to BW/4HANA or SAP Datasphere, you need to monitor the pre and post snapshot of both transactional and metadata. This makes for a daunting task. Not only do you need to take snapshots before and after all conversions, but you must test each one as well. The conversion toolbox impacts many areas: process chains, process chain variants, data target structures, BI queries etc.
