INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT

The SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit helps you to easily migrate data
from an SAP or Non-SAP legacy system to an SAP S/4HANA system.

Would you like to know more about how to migrate your data to SAP
S/4HANA? If so, follow this interactive tutorial.

2
INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT

In this tutorial, you will migrate the master data for two banks with branch
name S/4HANA from the legacy system to the SAP S/4HANA system.

The same approach can be used to migrate master data or transactional

data for other business objects.

(1) The Fiori Home page consists of a several tiles. To search for banks, you can use the
Manage Banks - Basic tile under the Bank Account Management group.

3
INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT

To open the app, select the Manage Banks - Basic tile.

Note: The steps to search for bank data is optional. In this tutorial this is done to show the
bank master data does not exist before the data migration. We will see later, that the
banks are created after the migration activity.

(2) To list all banks with branch name S/4HANA, enter S/4HANA and press enter.

4
INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT

There are no banks with branch name S/4HANA.

(3) To return to the launchpad, choose Home.

INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT

The SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit facilitates the transfer of business

data from a source system to an SAP S/4 HANA system. Source systems
can be SAP systems and non-SAP systems. The SAP S/4HANA
migration cockpit uses predefined migration objects to identify and
transfer the relevant data.

To start the SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit logon to your SAP S/4HANA
backend system with SAP GUI Logon.

To start the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit you use transaction LTMC.

Note: For this transaction, your user needs role

SAP_CA_DMC_MC_USER.

6
INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT

(4) Enter the transaction LTMC and press Enter.

(5) To start a new migration project, choose Create.

7
INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT

(6) Here you can specify the name of the project and select if you want to transfer data
from file or from staging tables.

For this tutrial, enter Project Bank Migration and select Transfer Data from File.

(7) When you use the SAP S/4HANA migration cockpit to transfer data to SAP S/4HANA
using a file, temporary data is created in the SAP system.

In the Data Retention Time field, you can specify the length of time (in days) that this data
is kept in the system after the file transfer has finished. The data will be deleted from the

8
INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT

SAP system when the data retention time expires. If you leave this field empty, the data
will not be deleted from the system.

Choose Create.

The migration project is created.

9
INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT

Here, you can view all available data migration objects.

(8) To migrate data for a specific object, you can select the object name.

For this tutorial, to migrate bank master data, select the Bank object.

10
INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT

(9) Choose OK.

Note: The warning message shows that the object will be copied to the customer
namespace that runs in the background.

(10) To learn more about the migration object and its pre-requisites, you can read the
documentation .

To display the documentation, choose Show.

11
INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT

The Help dialog window opens.

Here you can view additional information, such as pre-requisites, about

the migration object.

(11) To close the dialog window, choose OK.

12
INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT

(12) To download the data template for the migration object, choose Download Template.

13
INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT

The migration object template downloads to your local PC.

Note: The template file is an MS Excel XML file. You must add the
extension .xml if it’s not already added. The migration tool only
accepts MS Excel XML files as input. To make any changes you must
open the XML file with MS Excel.

(13) To open the file, choose the file name.

14
INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT

An Excel file for the source data of the migration object opens.

The Field List spreadsheet displays the description and the metadata of
the bank master data fields.

(14) To specify the source data for migration, choose the Bank Master spreadsheet.

15
INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT

In the Bank Master spreadsheet, you can enter the source data for the
BANK_MASTER migration object.

The mandatory fields are marked with *.

In this tutorial, the source data for two S/4HANA banks is entered.

16
INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT

(15) Save the data.

(16) Close the file.

17
INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT

(17) To upload the source data, choose Upload File.

(18) To navigate to the file with the source data, select Choose File.

18
INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT

(19) Select the file EN_BANK_MASTER.xml, with the source data.

(20) Choose Open.

22
INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT

(26) Choose Activate.

Note: You could have multiple source data files. The activation determines which file to
use for the migration.

(27) To begin the data migration, choose Start Transfer.

23
INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT

The migration of data is a guided activity. The first step of the data
migration is Validate Data. In this step, the system verifies the data in the
source file.

(28) The Data Validation in Progress dialog window indicates the progress of the data
validation.

To close the dialog window, choose Close.

(29) To fix the error, choose Next.

25
INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT

In the second step, Convert Values, you can correct and confirm the
mapping between the source file data values and the target system field
values.

(30) To check the value mappings for the country, select Mapping of Country key.

26
INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT

(31) In this tutorial, the target value CHI for country China, is incorrect. The value was
trauncated to "CHI" because SAP S/4HANA allows upto three characters for the Country
field.

To correct the error, open the S/4HANA Target Value list.

(32) To correct the country key for China, select CN.

27
INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT

In this tutorial, the processing is a success and the tool informs you to
complete the migration.

32
INTRODUCING THE SAP S/4HANA MIGRATION COCKPIT
