Defining the technical scope
• S/4 migration is very difficult to package as a pure technical upgrade due to the differences in the capability of the platform Code changes are essential Reduction in data volumes should be performed Return to standard and removal of customisations is recommended New capabilities New user interface
• Are any of the existing systems going to need to be upgraded – or can they be decommissioned
• Does S/4 require any new systems to be implemented to provide additional functionality
17
Pre-migration activities
• Housekeeping Basis Tables – change documents, logs etc… Transport and upgrade logs IDOCs
• Sizing Run the Sizing reports for ECC and BW Identify large tables – consider archiving or Data tiering Create action plan and execute
• Architecture Server specifications HA/DR Non-Functional requirements

Migration tools - testing
• Test Management is critical Technical not just functional – HANA is a radically different platform Some customers have a mature strategy
• Revise your test management strategy Test automation Test coverage Test prioritization
• Reduce your time to complete testing How long does it take to complete regression test?
28
User Interface changes
Fiori and SAP UI5 are now the primary user interaction/interfaces for S/4
• Reduced requirement for SAP Gui Reduction in amount of desktop software
• Browser based interfaces Browser compatibility issues and frequent updates
• Mobile accessibility Planning needed for external access
• SAP HCP connectivity for extending applications
• Use of design standards for consistent look and feel
• User experience is of increasing importance
• Testing just became about a million times easier!
