RSB4HTRF - Is it feasible to do migration in dev and transported to production?

[former_member730008]

Hi Experts,

The Task list: SAP_BW4_TRANSFER_INPLACE or Tcode: RSB4HTRF takes care of the migration from classic objects to new bw/4hana object.

Do we need to perform this migration separately in each system (or Is it feasible to do migration in dev and transported it to production?) Thanks in Advance.

Hi Praveen,

Point 1: Tool will give you the flexibility to choose relevant flow (for eg till staging layer or L2 layer). You can select those objects manually from migration cockpit and convert to BW4H compatible object. It will ask you the TR to capture the object. (Verify the TR manually to avoid additional object captured by migration cockpit).

Please check : https://blogs.sap.com/2020/10/24/bw-to-bw4hana-migration-in-5-minutes/

Point 2: I can't suggest as i haven't tried it without having source system defined. You can create dummy flow and test how it behaves.

Point 3: As a pre-requisite, for Prod yes it is advisable to have a system backup before migration.. but for lower environment it would be need to need basis, Few customer won't agree due to increase in cost. Alternatively i have seen customer having dual stack Existing landscape + New BW4H landscape to avoid system conflict at later stage.

Additionally please keep on checking support.sap.com under component BW-B4H-CNV (Conversion) to find about new fixes coming in.

Hi Praveen,

You don't need to perform migration steps in each system. You can do the migration in dev using RSB4HTRF, capture the flow under TR (after resolving the conflicts). TR can be moved as usual to other stack.

Dear Pradeep,

Thank you so much for your quick response and definitely it will help a lot of people regarding this topic.

Lastly, I have few more questions with this tool: RSB4HTRF

1. Is it feasible to migrate only specific object Eg. ZSDS01 (excluding. before (ZSDO01) and after (ZSDI01) dataflow objects)?

2. In our case, source system is ECC on HANA(ODP 2.0 is not installed yet). Will it cause any issues during complete one data flow migration?

3. Do we need to take care of any pre-requisites for the transportation of migrated objects from Dev to Production? (data deletion or back up in Prod for migrated objects)

Thanks in Advance.
