On the Road to BW/4HANA –

Resynchronize Technical System from SLD into LMDB
Upload the correct data from the Solution Manager to the SAP Support Portal
Log on to
the Maintenance Planer and select your SAP Backend System
Check that your system data is replicated to the Maintenance Planer (this might take a few minutes)
Continue with the Maintenance Task ...
Download the Stack XML and push the files to your Download Basket.
If the needed software component
SAP_ABA 75A was not selected by the Maintenance Planer, you can also download the necessary files manually and add the files to the import queue.
Now we can continue with the technical migration to BW/4HANA.
Run the BW/4HANA Migration
The migration can be done without the software update manager (SUM) directly in the SAP BW system via Transaction SAINT. Make sure that your SAINT version is recent (7.50/0063)

Choose your created Stack XML File
Additionally you have to select the SAP_ABA 75A component in the selection here as well.
The technical migration to BW/4HANA is running now.
After the Implementation is finished, run Transaction SPAU to reset everything back to SAP standard.
Once the SAINT procedure is finsihed, you can continue in you new system with BW/4HANA specific settings. Check the Document -
