With SAP BW, you can merge historical and current data from a wide variety of systems, model, consolidate, and prepare it. Create a central information source for your entire company.
There is not the one and only optimal method to switch to SAP BW/4HANA. You have to make the decision based on the initial situation and future requirements. SAP recommends various migration methods depending on the start release of your SAP BW.
A greenfield approach or a new implementation means that a completely new SAP BW/4HANA system is implemented. All reporting applications and objects are recreated on the basis of SAP BW/4HANA. The data transfer from the old BW system must take place in a separate step.
There are three different migration methods for a system conversion approach. With an in-place conversion, the current BW system is converted to SAP BW/4HANA in the system itself, so to speak. The in-place conversion requires a SAP HANA database, as well as a SAP BW 7.5 with a minimum SP Level 5, and the SAP BW/4HANA Starter Add-on must be installed. This is the only way to convert Transfer Cockpit data flows into BW/4HANA compliant objects.
If the remote conversion is used, the first step is to set up a new SAP BW/4HANA system with a new SID. In the next step, data models in the legacy system can be selected and converted to the new SAP BW/4HANA. The data from the objects to be converted is also transferred. In contrast, the shell conversion does not transfer this data to the new SAP BW/4HANA system, but only transfers the converted metadata of the new objects. Many companies use the shell conversion to optimize their data models and then load the data in a separate step.
In scenarios where several SAP BW systems are to be merged into one target SAP BW/4HANA system, the migration method of system consolidation is used.
We recommend starting a migration project with a proof of concept or an analysis preliminary project. The aim is to minimize any problems that may arise during the migration phase.
The paths to SAP BW/4HANA are highly individual and difficult to outline due to the different preconditions. Nevertheless, we have decided to offer migration concepts at a fixed price.
