BW/4 Inplace Conversion - Precheck warning - Query with SAP-Exit Variable - adjustment needed or not

[axel_]

Hello everyone,

we are currently performing the pre-checks for a BW/4HANA inplace conversion. During this process, a large number of queries are listed that use the SAP-Exit function modules of certain variables e.g. 0S_RQMRC  or 0PVAEX.

We know that 0PVAEX has a new BW/4 variable and needs to be adjusted and 0S_RQMRC is obsolete a long time ago..

The question is: Do we need to adjust these manually before switching to the B4H mode (as it is listed in the pre-.check) as the switch will be "blocked" otherwise or can we switch to the B4H mode and even convert system completely to BW/4  (assuming that the queries will no longer run if not adjusted - but adjustment then is possible in BW/4).

Thanks for clarifying.  The SAP notes are not clear on that part (at least not for me).

Best regards
Axel

Hi,

The switch to B4H, R4C will be possible, even the technical conversion to SAP BW/4HANA, but you have to consider that the logic of the variables (SAP Exit) will either not be available or work differently.

Check the following SAP Notes:

• SAP Note 2673734 - BW4SL - BI Content
• SAP Note 2851061 - New BEx variables for simplification of conversion to SAP BW/4HANA
• SAP Note 2857063 - BI_CONT: New BEx Variables to simplify conversion from SAP BW to SAP BW/4HANA
• SAP Note 3301981 - Function Modules for SAP Exit Variables part of BI_CONT included with BW4CONT 200 SP13

Best Regards,

Eduard
