Hi Prahlad,
Go through this hope u can understand.
With SAP Accelerated Data Migration, you can reduce migration
costs by as much as 50% and avoid interruption of business
processes. Moreover, shutting down the source system after
migration reduces system administration costs and total cost
of operations. In short, you realize the following benefits:
Significantly reduced cost and time to complete migration
projects
Accurate, cost-effective data transfer applicable for any kind
of source system
Better data quality because of preconfigured business objects
that ensure data consistency
Improved end-user productivity and acceptance thanks to
migration of historical data
Effective migration that avoids interruption of business
processes
Full support services to avoid risks and ensure the optimum
performance of your new business applications
Faster return on investment
In short, a smoother, more cost-effective migration to a new
technology solution ultimately positions your organization
to lower your total cost of ownership, maintain competitive
advantage, and pursue new business opportunities.
Expertise in Action
SAP Accelerated Data Migration applies a business objectoriented,
two-step approach that uses a neutral interface as a staging area
and predefined migration content for the conversion and upload
of data. The neutral interface enables the SAP tool to generate
predefined migration content and prevents all potential legal
issues regarding the intellectual property of any source-system
vendor. The whole data migration process from the source to
the target system consists of just two steps, as follows:
1. Data is extracted from the source system into the standard
interface as XML files.
2. Data migrates from the interface into the mySAP Business
Suite database. The migration is based on a new migration
workbench engine developed by SAP based on the SAP
NetWeaver® platform. All requirements for mapping structures
and fields and developing complex conversion rules are solved
within this engine (see Figure 1).
Once the migration is complete, business-unit end users have
access to all the legacy data in the new applications as if it had
originated there. They can continue to work on the existing
business process items in the new applications and benefit from
improved functionality.
Lifting the Limitations
Much of the cost and effort involved in classical data migrations
are generated by migration content development, as follows:
Identifying business objects for migration to properly support
the business
Defining the structure and field mapping for the relevant
business objects
Developing conversion rules for all necessary value mapping
Readily available migration content can simplify this effort.
SAP Accelerated Data Migration provides preconfigured business
content, helping you migrate it to your new system more efficiently
and rapidly. The tool allows the migration of all types of
data, independent of its current state within a business process.
This includes master and dynamic data, as well as partially
processed and historical data, to minimize data loss. Business
processes are uninterrupted and normal operation procedures
can be retained.
By providing a standard, neutral interface and reading data as an
XML file, SAP Accelerated Data Migration is applicable for any
kind of source system. Preconfigured data migration objects built
specifically for SAP applications significantly simplify the conversion
from non-SAP software data into SAP software data objects,
yielding far-reaching benefits. Besides reducing related IT costs,
you can be certain of consistency across business-object boundaries.
Through a direct insert into the database, you avoid the
performance limitations of classical data migration.

SAP Master data migration tools

Hi,
I would like to know if any SAP standard tools which are available for all master data migration,Kindly share the same which is required for us now.
We have to migrate the data from legacy systems to SAP and we have to use only SAP Standard master data migration tools.
Kindly share the same.
Thanks and Regards,
Raveendra

Raveendra,
SAP migrates data from legacy system using standard tools like LSMW, BDC, BAPI. Under LSMW you will have Batch input, Batch recording, BAPI and IDOCs options. Depending upon requirement you can choose any one of them. BAPI is advisable instead of BDC method.
Also for utilities industry SAP has provided ISU Migration tool (EMIGALL).

Hi,
i have joined as a fresher in the company and have been given the area of ADM to develop my principal expertise.
I have downloaded the short but informative pdf's from sap.com and been able to get few more from my lead from sap service market. But am unsure about the ADM Migration Workbench mentioned in the pdf's.
i have learnt that data extracted from the legacy system is taken into xml files though SII structures and put into sap database through migration workbench,,
what i am unsure of is...
IS MIGRATION WORKBENCH different from LSMW,
WHAT are the tools for extracting data from legacy systems,
any technical process for migrating...
sdn.sap has helped me alot all these days..so i request you all experts to share your valuable views on this.
thanks in advance,

This is my first data migration project. We have to migrate SAP PS transactional data from SAP 4.7 to SAP 6.0. My task is to migrate WBS element data to the new system. To do that I need to do field and Value mapping also. Please suggest how do we go about completing the task at hand and also suggest what else do we migrate in SAP PS.

Hi,
If it is a new system, you can use BDC/LSMW/BAPI for uploading the data to PS.
Also topic have been already discussed in the forum. You can refer below threads for more info:

SAP HR Data Migration Strategy

Hello Guys,
I worked in Data migration in the areas like SD,MM,FI. But I am new to HR. Can anybody please give me the HR data migration stratagey like what data's (eg, Master ,transactional etc) we need to load and sequences and methods available for each type?
Thanks
Kal

Hi chakri,
Documentation we use is Data Convertion Bueprint which is simply customer's requirements accroding to what infotypes he needs, what data should be migrated and which org. elements will be imported.
Another one is Master Template which is actually prepared by us (technical team). We prepare LSMW for each infotype mentioed in former document, then we document it in this master template to provide to customer required flat files format. We prepare such becuase sometimes some filed may be fixed, some added and even are read-only so should be skipped. So this document differs a bit with previous one in regards to infotypes' used fields. Than we sent this document to our local functional team which is resposible for providing files with given format.
In first document there are also some Golden rules, which describes exact steps for one entire cycle (staring from deliveirng the file, ending with validation of loaded data for one infotype), which each involed party should follow.
The last but not least important document is what we call Loading sequence. I already described it previously. It is just the order of loading the data to infotypes which you should follow. It also contains such information as
- number of records in provided file
- number of errors, successfully loaded records
- files which we share with functional team (error logs)
- finally files which we sent as validation data (extracted from system after successful load of infotype)
Unfortunatelly I can't provide you any of them as these are company documents which are not to be distributed. Sorry I am not allowed to break this rule.
Anyhow I hope it will give you an overview of what kind of documentation you need. It is of course of your team how you organize your work and documentation.
All in all crucial thing is communication between teams, which from my experiaence sometimes fails.
One more thing:
Always remeber to give points to usefull answers, that's how the forum works. Of course it is not obligatory !
Rememebr if you get something, you appreciate it by assigning points:)

Sap hana DATA MIGRATION OPTION

Hello,
SUM can be started from browser and from OS level also by running "./DSUgui".
So , is there a way to start SUM with DMO option for HANA migration from OS level?
It is known that SUM with DMO can be started from the browser but we have lower level IE - does not support.
URL : http://<hostname>:1128/lmsl/sumabap/SID/doc/gui/
Expecting a reply.
Thanks and regards,
Udaya sankara charan.D.

Hi,
For DMO option, you have to invoke the services through browser only. The reason being you need to create the SAPHostAgent Configuration file to start SUM. This configuration file contains the location of the SUM directory and the path to the SUMSTART.BAT files.
The SAP Host Agent in turn starts two SAPup services.
In a non DMO scenario, you do not maintain the configuration file and directly start the services. Hope this help.

LSMW data migration porcess from the beginning

Hi gurus,
I do understand that there are 14 steps to be completed during migration, but can anyone give me a basic idea as what needs to be done prior to the above steps when starting a data migration project, as i have been only involved in the LSMW(14 steps) process before.
Thanks in advance, points will be awarded for all answers.
Ganga

Hello
As an intro:
Classical data migrations are typically limited to master data and
tend to cause multiple negative impacts on workflow and oper-
ating business units.
To minimize costs, risks, and effort during a data migration and ensure a smooth changeover for operational business processs items, and better reporting
capabilities SAP recently come with a Data Migration Solution called SAP Accelerated Data Migration tool.
This advanced tool, coupled with support from the SAP Services organization and SAP partners, lets you easily migrate and integrate application data from any legacy system into SAP applications and reduce migration costs significantly.
Data migration is done in 4th phase i.e. the final preparation stage of ASAP methodology.
As far as LSMW is concerned, BDC and LSMW both are use for loading data into SAP system. The difference is ,LSMW is loading tool by SAP where you can use various methods to upload, massage data or cleansed your data while loading into SAP from legacy system. The method can be BDC, BAPI, Idocs or SAP ABAP codes. Usually in BDC the user has to write an ABAP program or use other utility to load legacy data.
LSMW has been developed mainly for the Functional people who has no knowledge of the technical aspects of report or BDC in ABAP because its very user friendly and handy to use. So, simply they can upload the master records using LSMW.

HELP ME ON DATA MIGRATION PLEASE

Hi
what is SAP data migration what kind of tools and techniques include in that and also please what are the roles and responsibilities include in that when we are working on project.(RELATED TO ABAP)

Data Migration Current Situation
Data migration or data conversion is a persistent issue facing most organizations who have implemented SAP. Whether it is during the final phases of a new SAP implementation, during SAP upgrades and updates, during corporate restructurings, or during mergers and acquisitions, data migration continues to remain a challenging problem for IT.
Most data migration projects are faced with a time and budget crunch. But, these projects usually require extensive support from programmers and other technical experts and therefore data migration projects tend to get expensive and time-consuming.
The tools for data transfer and data migration provided by SAP are very technical and have a steep learning curve associated with them and they require technical experts to build and implement the data migration scripts.
Data Migration Ideal Scenario
An ideal data migration scenario would let the data migration project be implemented by the end user departments themselves. A few super-users within these end-user departments that supply the data should have the ability to transfer and migrate data themselves without relying on technical experts. Such a scenario would significantly cut the time and effort required in a data migration project.
Reaching such an ideal scenario would require data migration tools that are easy to learn and require no programming. Furthermore, these tools should work across all the different SAP modules and the SAP products, including the different versions of SAP.
Data Migration
Data Migration is the process of moving required (and most often very large) volumes of data from our clients existing systems to new systems. Existing systems can be anything from custom-built IT infrastructures to spreadsheets and standalone databases.
Data Migration encompasses all the necessary steps to cleanse, correct and move the data into the new system *. Technological changes, change in providers, software updates or data warehousing / data mining projects make such delicate and critical operations necessary.
<b>Data Migration can be done using BDC, LSMW, BAPI, Idoc's.</b>
What is the difference between batch input and call transaction in BDC?
Session method.
1) synchronous processing.
2) can tranfer large amount of data.
3) processing is slower.
4) error log is created
5) data is not updated until session is processed.
Call transaction.
1) asynchronous processing
2) can transfer small amount of data
3) processing is faster.
4) errors need to be handled explicitly
5) data is updated automatically
Differences between bdc session method and call transaction method.
The most important aspects of the batch session interface are: - Asynchronous processing - Transfers data for multiple transactions - Synchronous database update During processing, no transaction is started until the previous transaction has been written to the database. - A batch input processing log is generated for each session - Sessions cannot be generated in parallel
The most important aspects of the CALL TRANSACTION USING interface are: - Synchronous processing - Transfers data for a single transaction - Synchronous and asynchronous database updating both possible The program specifies which kind of updating is desired. - Separate LUW for the transaction The system performs a database commit immediately before and after the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement. - No batch input processing log is generated.
