SAP
is offering a set of tools to help migration of BW systems to SAP BW/4HANA. So
called readiness check is needed to be performed first to find out if there are
an objects present in the system that are not supported by the BW/4HANA and thus
they need to be reworked before the migration itself. Here are the tools that
supports this task:
1
t-code RSB4HCONV - SAP BW/4HANA Transfer Cockpit (BW/4 Conversion) aka* SAP BW/4HANA Transfer Toolbox or Toolbox
for conversion, program RS_B4HANA_CONVERSION_CONTROL, main SAP Note 2383530 -
Conversion from SAP BW to SAP BW/4HANA
2
t-code RSB4HTRF - Transfer of Scenarios aka* Transfer of Scenarios program RS_B4HANA_TRF,
to set the BW4 transfer scenario: in-place/remote/shell. See here.
3
t-code RSB4HAPD - APD Transformation Tool, program
RS_B4HTAPD_ANALYZE
4
t-code RSB4HAPDR - APD Conversion Remote, program RS_B4HTAPD_APD_LIST
*- as there are several
names of the tools mentioned in the SAP Notes, here I put “also known as” ones
too
The
tools are delivered via so-called revisions. The revisions are represented by
SAP Notes. Each of the Note is normally dedicated to specific phase of BW to
BW/4HANA conversion like: discovery/prepare, explore/realization, pre-check, source,
in-place, target, code scan, post-conversion, etc.
As of
2022.01 there are following revisions available:
Note 1: that
this is not comprehensive list of the revisions, there may be much more of then
that these. Therefore, always upgrade the BW4 tools to the latest revisions
available!
Note
2: I was trying to determine what tool does the particular SAP Note bring the
revision to. However, in case of some revisions it was not clear. That is why
some of the Notes are not associated with the tool name. Rule to decide what is
the tool where does it below to should be that if it is in-place or target it
is Transfer of scenarios tool.

more flexible as the old application log-based check. More information about
the scanning tool is available in Note 3119274 - Code Scan tool for migrations to
BW/4 HANA.
Also older
ABAP program RS_B4HANA_CODE_SCAN can be used. However, the older one does not store
data to the DB tables. It uses SLG1 logs instead
