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

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
Marcin

    Hi All,

    Thanks

    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 object–oriented,
    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).

  • 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,
    Nhlanhla

    Hi 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
    Sam

    Create 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 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
    Emm

    Hi 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] ).
