SAP Enable Now on-premise

[former_member88224]

Good day!

Could you please give me advice. Is it possible to change cloud SEN version on on-premise version. With what risks can we faced? Will web assistant work with on-premises SAP products? Could you please share with me instruction link with detailed discription.

Thanks!

Best regards,

Sophia

Yes, it's possible to move from Cloud, but it is a completely different set-up with different licensing considerations. If you had both available for a while you could export/import content but most likely you'd need SAP's help to move everything.

Will Web Assistant work? Yes - assuming a HANA database (not SQL).

Detailed description: Of the migration process? I don't know there is one you can follow on your own - like I say, it will likely require SAP's involvement. Contact your CEE.

It won't require SAP involvement to migrate the content from Cloud to On-Premise. You can do it by yourself, provided you know how to export/import .dkp files 😉

Yes, agreed, but if they wanted to lift+shift the entire database, to keep their users, assignments, history, workareas, etc., I'm assuming y'all have some magic migration tool like (I think?) you do for migrating from on-prem to cloud...

Colleagues, at the moment, some of the training courses have been saved and exported in scorm 1.2

Can you please write me how to import this file again into SEN with option to edit them?Should I make a duplicate in dkp format?

We are ready to lose users' history during moving on-premise version, but may be it is possible to move all data with special tool?

How to find out what version of web assistant we have now? If i am not mistaken we have a HANA database, will this database work with on-premise version?

Best regards,

If it has been published as a SCORM package (.zip) you cannot import it back into SAP Enable Now. See this question and its answers.

I don't know if it is possible to "move all data with a special tool" - I'll leave to SAP to answer (or contact your CEE). But if you don't need the history, and you're prepared to re-create all your users logins, you can just export your content as a .dkp and import it again.

The references to HANA were aimed at your (new) on premise instance. Cloud is HANA anyway, but Web Assistant will only work with an on-prem instance is using a HANA database on the back-end. So the point is, IF you move to on prem, make sure you get the HANA version not SQL.

But why are you moving from cloud to on-prem? Most people do it the other way round. Do you have security/connectivity concerns?
