SAP - The Migration Project Screen
SAP - The Migration Project Screen
When you open a migration project, the system displays the Migration Project screen.
On the Migration Project screen, you trigger the steps that are required to transfer the
data for each migration object to the target SAP S/4HANA Cloud system.
1. Uploading a template file for a migration object (if using template files to fill the
staging tables with data).
4. Simulating the migration to the target SAP S/4HANA Cloud system (optional).
5. Migrating the data for the migration object to the target SAP S/4HANA Cloud
system.
These steps are relevant for each migration object that is part of your project. If a
migration object has a predecessor object, the predecessor object must be processed
first. In the Migration Object column, you can view whether a migration object has a
predecessor object.
Migration Object
In this column, you can view the name of the migration object. You can also view
any predecessor objects. To view detailed information about a migration object,
click a migration object name in this column. The system displays the Migration
Object screen.
Data
In this column, you can view the number of staging tables associated with each
migration object. You can also view the number of migration object instances that
exist in the staging tables.
Mapping Tasks
In this column, you can view the number of open and completed mapping tasks
for each migration object.
Simulation
In this column, you can view the number of migration object instances that have
been simulated successfully, and the number of instances for which errors exist.
Migration
In this column, you can view the number of migration object instances that still
have to be migrated to the to the target SAP S/4HANA Cloud system, as well as
the number of migration object instances that have been migrated successfully,
and the number of instances for which errors exist.
Migration Progress
In this column, you can view the status of the migration. If the migration has not
started for a migration object, the text Migration Not Started is displayed. If the
migration has started for a migration object, you can view the following
percentage values:
Action
In this column, you can trigger an action for a migration object. For example, you
can upload a file or start the simulation process.
Additional Information
Monitoring
To view a log of all activities, choose the Monitoring button. The system displays
the Monitoring screen. You can view the active activities (for example Migration
Started) and completed activities (for example Migration Completed).
Settings
You can view the current settings for your project at any time by choosing
the Settings button. The system displays the Project Settings screen, where you can
also change settings for the project, for example you can add additional migration
objects. For more information, see Project Settings.
Mapping Tasks
You can view a list of all mapping tasks for all the migration objects in your project. For
more information about tasks, see Mapping Tasks.
Job Management
To adjust the maximum number of background jobs that are used for the migration
project, choose the Job Management button. Note that the default number of
background jobs for a project is 8. By default, the jobs are distributed equally among the
migration objects.
Finishing a Project
When you have finished your migration project, you can set the status of the project
to Finished. When you set the status of a project to Finished, no further changes are
possible. However, you can still view the project. To set the status of a project
to Finished, choose the Finish button.
When you set the status of a project to Finished, you can specify a data retention
period. The retention period is the length of time (in days) that the project and all
associated data is kept in the system after you have set the status of the project to
Finished. To do this, set the option Data Retention Period to On. The data will be
deleted from the SAP S/4HANA system when the data retention time expires. If you set
the option Data Retention Period to Off, then the project and all associated data will be
kept in the system indefinitely. If required, you can change the retention time for finished
projects. To do this, open the relevant project and choose the Settings button. You can
find the settings for retention time on the Technical Information tab.
