The Database Migration of SAP ERP to SAP HANA combines the Database migration and the Enhancement Package update of the SAP software into a single phase via the database migration option (DMO) of the Software Update Manager (SUM) or, if the SAP system release is already sufficient for a direct migration, by using the Heterogeneous System Copy instead of DMO. The service consists of four main deliverables:
-
SAP HANA Software components installed and updated.
-
SAP ERP software updated to the required Enhancement package.
-
SAP ERP database migrated to the SAP HANA instances by heterogeneous system copy.
-
Migration test and follow-activities performed.
