While a previous SAPinsider article covered in detail the process of migrating from SAP Business Suite to SAP S/4HANA, this article focuses on the portions of the process that involve adapting custom code for SAP S/4HANA, which takes place after the system migration (see the sidebar “The SAP S/4HANA Migration Process at a Glance” for a brief overview of the overall migration process). This article shows developers and development project managers how to adapt custom code for SAP S/4HANA using ABAP Test Cockpit. As of SAP NetWeaver 7.5x, these tools are combined in ABAP Test Cockpit, which enables you to get an overview of the project scope, analyze the adaptation requirements, and perform the adaptions directly in the code with the help of the Eclipse-based ABAP development tools, all from a single tool. In the past, these tools were delivered individually as part of the standard SAP NetWeaver shipment. Adapting custom code is never a trivial undertaking for any organization, and to support its customers in this task, SAP delivers analysis tools as a part of SAP NetWeaver that enable you to fully manage this process, including extended syntax checks and the Code Inspector tool. In addition, they must adapt any custom code created for SAP Business Suite that is incompatible with SAP S/4HANA. Since SAP S/4HANA is a completely new product version with a new data model built on core data services, customers making this transition need to perform a system conversion from SAP Business Suite to SAP S/4HANA and migrate to the SAP HANA database if it is not already in use.
As moving to SAP S/4HANA increasingly becomes more a question of “when” rather than “if,” most SAP customers are looking at how to make this move from an SAP Business Suite implementation centered around SAP ERP, the latest version being enhancement package 8 running on the SAP NetWeaver 7.5 technology stack. With SAP S/4HANA, SAP delivers an intelligent suite of enterprise applications that brings innovations such as the Internet of Things, machine learning, and real-time analytics to customers’ business operations, both on premise and in the cloud.
