Business Suite powered by SAP HANA migration project.
This cookbook focuses on the following aspects:
● What to bear in mind in each phase, and what the value and purpose of the activity are
● Which skills and resources you require
● How you can determine the costs and effort for each phase
● Which tools and services you can use to increase efficiency

1.1 Migration vs. Greenfield vs. Sidecar
To work with SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA, customers can either migrate to SAP HANA, build up a
new system landscape, or use SAP HANA together with their existing core system.
Migration
Migration refers to the migration of an existing SAP Business Suite system on any DB to SAP Business Suite
powered by SAP HANA. This is normally a project combining the upgrade of the release and the migration of the
database.
This cookbook focuses primarily on migrating from SAP Business Suite on any DB to SAP Business Suite powered
by SAP HANA. It helps to clearly describe the delta between the SAP HANA database and any other database.
The migration process consists of specific tasks, for example downtime minimization and SAP HANA code
compliance.
If you run a Greenfield or Sidecar project, you might find that many of the topics are relevant for you as well
however.
Greenfield
Greenfield denotes the creation of a completely new business system landscape. It is normally a much larger
project.
Sidecar
Sidecar denotes the option of having a dedicated SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA system for a
selected business process next to your core SAP Business Suite system.

1.2 Migration Project Phases
The migration project to SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA basically consists of three phases: Plan,
Build, and Run.
Plan
Based on an assessment of your business processes, you identify and validate the business benefits of SAP
Business Suite powered by SAP HANA and build your business case for the migration. Our innovation service
supports you with a tailored recommendation of functional and performance improvements. As part of the
discovery phase, you may also want to start exploring the tangible value of an SAP Business Suite powered by
SAP HANA system through a dedicated system in our SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud (HEC).
During this phase, you prepare the project plan by identifying the relevant activities, resources, and tools. You also
identify the technical prerequisites necessary for a migration and initiate the procurement process for the
required hardware and components. A rich set of tools supports you with the estimation and optimization of the
efforts involved in the system upgrade. To follow compliance rules regarding your data and to optimize your
database size, consider Information Lifecycle Management.
Build
If you chose to run SAP HANA yourself in your own landscape, you can practice the upgrade in a sandbox system.
Note
This step may not be relevant if SAP HANA is run in a hosted and managed environment.
After upgrading your development system, you adjust your custom code to ensure that you fully benefit from the
performance improvements of SAP HANA. To achieve the highest efficiency, you need to find out which code is
really relevant for the migration process. Smart analysis can save you up to 90% of the migration effort. SAP tools
provide you with the necessary functionality to focus on the relevant code objects, and a framework for the overall
change management. SAP can also provide you with services to execute the actual migration process.
After upgrading your quality system, you perform tests. SAP provides you with a new powerful tool set to
automate your tests, thereby increasing their quality and largely reducing manual test efforts for future upgrades.
To keep downtime as short as possible, Database Migration Option (DMO) of the Software Update Manager was
developed to significantly reduce the required downtime, thereby reducing business cost. In future, DMO tools will
be able to keep a downtime near to zero.

Run
To further improve your system performance, monitor the usage and response times. Using our powerful tool set
you can monitor the system and set the focus of improvements to where most value is added to the business.
Monitor and back up your system.

Overview: SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA
SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA refers to SAP Business Suite applications running on an SAP HANA
database. SAP ERP, SAP CRM, SAP SCM, and SAP SRM have been migrated and optimized to run on SAP HANA.
For each of these SAP Business Suite components, SAP provides dedicated optimizations and functional
innovations and improvements.
General Concepts and Benefits
● OLAP and OLTP are executed in one system. This increases the potential for innovative applications and
innovative business processes as well as introduces the possibility of consolidating multiple productive SAP
Business Suite systems into one system.
● Improved overall response times for existing transactions and entire business processes through general
performance improvement of the underlying HANA database
● Further improvements through embedded querying and processing capabilities on the database, referred to
as code-pushdown.
● Newly improved end-to-end scenarios that accelerate critical business processes, such as the Material
Requirements Planning (MRP) run in ERP.
● New applications can be used, which was not possible before, such as Predictive Maintenance and Service
SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA Cookbook

● New user experience, such as SAP Fiori Launchpad applications
● SAP HANA Live as an open foundation for SAP and non-SAP analytical clients
Further, like any existing SAP Business Suite offering, SAP Business Suite powered by SAP HANA provides the
capability to innovate your business through differentiating capabilities - with the addition of real-time reporting
over any data at the best possible performance. All this is provided in a well-known SAP system and tool
environment.
Note
To understand the documentation, consider the following regarding versions of the SAP Business Suite
powered by SAP HANA:
SAP originally released business application versions designed for SAP HANA separately from versions
designed for traditional databases. Specifically, SAP EhP 06 for SAP ERP 6.0, version for HANA; SAP EhP 2 for
CRM 7.0, version for HANA; and EhP 2 for SCM 3.0, version for HANA were designed for SAP HANA.
Subsequently, SAP released SAP Business Suite i2013 - Innovation 2013. This includes new enhancement
packages for the SAP Business Suite core applications (SAP ERP 6.0 EHP7, SAP CRM 7.0 EHP3, SAP SCM 7.0
EHP3, and SAP SRM 7.0 EHP3). These current enhancement packages are compatible with both traditional
certified databases as well as with the SAP HANA database, thus giving more choice to customers to continue
to innovate without disruption. Therefore, the naming distinction version for HANA is not necessary for current
releases. For more information, refer to SAP Business Suite 7 Innovations 2013 - Frequently Asked Questions
Document linked in the information section.
