SAP HR Data Migration Strategy
Hello Guys,

Thanks

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:)
Cheers

SAP Accelarated Data migration
Hi All,
Could someone kindly provide more info about SAP ADM. I am uanble to get any info about the same. I would like to understand as to how exactly the tool works. I have the 4 page PDF that is posted on the site but its not clear on the actual tool. Can someone kindly provide me with some document or screen shots or any more info about it. My mail id is [email protected] Could someone kindly reply at the earliest.
Thanks
PrahladHi 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,
RaveendraRaveendra,
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,
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:

Data Migration Strategy: Legacy to CRM (BP and Case)
Hi,
What is the best strategy to implement in migrating data (Master and Transactional) from a Legacy System (text file) into SAP CRM: Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW), Master Data Manager (MDM) or ABAP? And what are the reasons?
Thanks,
NhlanhlaHi Nhlanhla,
You can achieve this by IDOCS or XIF Function Modules.
Preferred is develop a program using CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE and CRMXIF_PARTNER_REL_SAVE for better performance. Here you will find Z fields create through EEWB also.
For IDOCs
Message Type CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE_M
Basic Type CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE_M03
Message Type CRMXIF_PARTNER_REL_SAVE_M
Basic Type CRMXIF_PARTNER_REL_SAVE_M02

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.

PA data migration Strategy for global roll-out
Hi Guys,
What is the best practise to load PA data into SAP HCM for a global roll-out? We plan to go-live with 50 odd countries. For country specific infotypes like address, It does not make sense to create country-specific LSMW's for each of the country. We may end up having 100s of LSMWs which does not seem right to me. nearly 20 of these countries have less than 100 employees each. Any ideas what the best practises around this are?
regards
SamCreate batch input sessions with LSMW as usual.
Wite a report that reads the batch input session (tables APQI, APQD), gets the country specific dynpro for every PERNR (tables T582A, T588M, feature Pxxxx, ...) and change the dynpro in the APQD. Use debugger to find offset and length of field values in the record.
Than you can process the batch input.
I did it that way many times.
Alternativly you could update the PA tables directly - but difficult to detect errors. -
Data Migration from SAP r/3 to SAP R/3
Hi all,
What is the best method to migrate data from one verison of SAP to another verison of SAP ECC say from SAP 3.1 to SAP ECC 6.0?
This is for all SAP modules including sd, mm, pp, fi, co master and transaction data. I know there are number of technologies to load the data such as LSMW, IDOC, ALE, DI, etc but what is the best way to extract all data feeds to be loaded back into SAP.

Data conversion strategy for new SOB
Dear Viewers
on 11.5.10
We are creating a new SOB with a change in currency from Feb-11 as this is the requirement
For the same, we need to do data conversion.
I have a confusion for Purchase Orders and Sales Orders
Purchase Orders:
Open purchase orders will be converted, means the unfulfilled PO`s i.e the ones not received and are fully open.
The PO`s which have been recieved but not delivered, Requested the users to clear the intransit receipts.
The PO's which are partially received, what to be done for them?
If a PO is fully received and Delivered will not me converted to the new SOB as its not an open PO
but If invoice comes after Feb-11, than how the matching will be done?
What if a return has to be made moving forward in FEB-11 under new SOB
Sales Orders:
Open sales orders will be converted, that is the ones that have been entered and not yet booked.
Users have been requested to clear off the Sales order lines which are already pick confirmed but not yet shipped, hence they will be shipped and interfaced to AR
For the Sales orders that have been booked, those lines that are not yet processed further will also be converted.
Now what if a receipt comes after feb 11, how to handle this as the sales order wiould not have been converted?
Please give your advise on the data migration strategy for PO`s and SO's.
Please do add any point that may have been missed by me
Appreciate your help
Thanks
EmmHi David,
for master data conversion you can use LSMW and the RE-FX BAPIs. (please refer to SAP note [782947|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/782947] ).
