1 Custom Code Migration Guide for SAP S/
4HANA 1909

This guide focuses on the custom code related process from checking custom code remotely, analyzing the
findings, and finally adapting the custom code to SAP S/4HANA 1909.

Read this guide to get instructions on how to adapt your custom code to SAP S/4HANA 1909.

1.1 System Conversion

Custom Code Migration is part of the system conversion process from the classic SAP Business Suite running
on any database to the SAP S/4HANA system. In the context of this system conversion, custom ABAP source
code needs to be adapted, since a lot of SAP code within SAP S/4HANA was simplified and in some cases
changed in a non-compatible way.

Some of your custom code objects are not valid anymore and either do not perform as expected or produce
syntax errors or dumps (red objects in the picture). You almost certainly have other objects that do perform as
expected and do not need to be changed (green objects in the picture).

SAP provides tools, based on the Simplification Database, that detect any custom code that needs to be
adapted to SAP S/4HANA. The Simplification Database is a database table in the SAP S/4HANA system that
contains all Simplification Items that refer to SAP objects simplified in SAP S/4HANA. Each simplification item
describes changed or removed SAP objects and refers to a dedicated SAP Note that describes the impact of
the change and how the related custom code can be adapted.

1.2 Process

The custom code migration process for the system conversion to SAP S/4HANA describes the tools and
necessary procedures to migrate your custom code. The process consists of preparatory analysis (custom
code scoping and custom code analysis) and the adaptation of the custom code (custom code adaptation)
after the technical system conversion.

The following figure provides you an overview of the phases, the activities, and the tools involved in this
process.

Overview of the conversion process that is divided into the preparation phase and the realization phase

For more information, see SAP S/4HANA System Conversion – Custom code adaptation process

Custom Code Scoping

Custom code scoping enables you to determine the ABAP custom code that is frequently used and needs to be
taken over to SAP S/4HANA. Unused custom code can be deleted using deletion transport requests during the
system conversion. This means, scoping enables you to reduce the number of custom code to be migrated and
to minimize the efforts of the custom code adaptation.

 Note

Scoping is only supported using the Custom Code Migration app.

 Recommendation

SAP recommends to scope your custom code in order to delete unused custom code and to minimize your
efforts.

If you want to benefit from scoping, you need to monitor your productive system landscape in advance. To
do this, SAP recommends

● Using the ABAP Call Monitor (transaction SCMON) and

● Transaction SUSG to collect usage data in production system for at least one year.

Custom Code Migration Guide for SAP S/4HANA 1909

 For more information, see

● ABAP Call Monitor (SCMON) – Analyze usage of your code

● Aggregate usage data in your production system with SUSG transaction

Custom Code Analysis

Custom code analysis enables you to identify the custom code which must be adapted in the context of the
system conversion to SAP S/4HANA.

You have the following possibilities to run the custom code analysis:

● Using the Custom Code Migration app to

○ Run the SAP S/4HANA checks to analyze which custom code needs to be adapted.
○ Get statistical information about the findings in your development objects that need to be adapted.
● Using the classic SAP GUI to run the SAP S/4HANA checks based on the ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC).

Both options provide the relevant checks in a central check system. The central check system can remotely
execute these checks on any ABAP system ((SAP_BASIS ≥ 7.00 where the custom code to be analyzed is
stored.

Custom Code Adaptation (Functional Adaptation)

After the system conversion, you need to perform the functional adaptations in your custom code.

In the system conversion, you need to adapt any modifications related to ABAP Dictionary objects using
transaction SPDD.

After you performed the system conversion to SAP S/4HANA with Software Update Manager (SUM), you need
to adapt any modifications related to repository objects using transactions SPAU and SPAU_ENH.

After this, we recommend that you run ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) with SAP S/4HANA checks in ABAP
Development Tools (ADT). The result is a list of ATC findings that relate to SAP S/4HANA simplifications and
refer to SAP Notes which describe how to solve the issues. Based on these ATC findings, you can start adapting
your custom code using quick fixes in a semi-automated way.

 Recommendation

SAP recommends you to run ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) with SAP S/4HANA checks in ABAP Development
Tools (ADT). Here, the check result is provided as a list containing the ATC findings that relate to SAP S/
4HANA simplifications and refer to the SAP Notes which describe how to solve the issues. Based on these
ATC findings and specific quick fixes, you can start adapting your custom code on a semi-automated way.

 Note

You also need to adapt some of your custom code if you upgrade from a lower release to SAP S/4HANA
1909.

Performance Tuning

Finally, you need to check which business processes, for example performance of critical database queries,
need to be optimized in SAP HANA. To do this, you need to check which SQL statements can be optimized.

Custom Code Migration Guide for SAP S/4HANA 1909

The relevant performance data for all SQL statements executed in your productive system is displayed in SQL
Monitor. Here, you can find the most expensive business processes and the most frequently used SQL
statements.

2 Custom Code Analysis Before System
Conversion

Overview

Some options of the custom code analysis depend on whether your central check system is an on-premise
system or based on SAP Cloud Platform ABAP Environment.

Options

Options to Run the Custom Code Analysis

Follow one of the subsequent options to run the custom code analysis:

1. If your central check system is based on SAP S/4HANA 1909, you can use the Custom Code Migration
app to define the scope of your custom code that needs be migrated to SAP S/4HANA and to analyze
custom code for SAP S/4HANA custom code checks. This SAP Fiori app acts as a central check system on
the latest version of SAP S/4HANA. This ensures that you run the latest version of the SAP S/4HANA
custom code checks.

 Tip

If you choose this option, see Using SAP S/4HANA 1909 as Central Check System [page 8] for more
information on how to run custom code scoping and custom code analysis.

Custom Code Migration Guide for SAP S/4HANA 1909

Custom Code Analysis Before System Conversion PUBLIC 7
2. If your central check system is based on SAP NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP 7.52, you can use
an ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) central check system instead. The latter analyzes custom code for SAP S/
4HANA custom code checks.
With this approach you can neither scope your custom code based on usage data nor filter the analysis
results by scope or quick fix availability.

 Tip

If you choose this option, see chapter Using SAP NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP 7.52 as
Central Check System [page 22] for more information how to run the custom code analysis.

3. If your central check system is based on SAP Cloud Platform ABAP Environment, you can use the Custom
Code Migration app to define the scope of your custom code that needs to be migrated to SAP S/
4HANA and to analyze custom code for SAP S/4HANA custom code checks. The SAP Cloud Platform
ABAP Environment will analyze your custom code in your on-premise system remotely through Cloud
Connector. The SAP Cloud Platform ABAP Environment is updated four times a year and contains the
latest features of the Custom Code Migration app.

 Tip

If you choose this option, see Using SAP Cloud Platform ABAP Environment as Central Check System
[page 35] for more information how to run the custom code scoping and custom code analysis.

2.1 Using SAP S/4HANA 1909 as Central Check System

If your central check system is based on SAP S/4HANA 1909, you use the Custom Code Migration app to
scope and analyze custom code in your on-premise SAP system for SAP S/4HANA custom code checks. This
ensures that you run the analysis on base of the latest ATC check versions in the context of ABAP platform.

The Custom Code Migration app enables you to scope and analyze custom code that needs to be migrated
from an SAP Business Suite system to SAP S/4HANA 1909.

To evaluate the development objects to be adopted, this SAP Fiori app performs the SAP S/4HANA custom
code checks.

5. To define the Destination, choose the object provider.

6. Confirm your input with Save.

2.1.3.2 Defining the Scope of Your Custom Code Migration

Project

The Custom Code Migration app supports you with identifying your unused custom code based on your
collected usage data. With the scope of a custom code migration project, you can specify which of your custom
code needs to be converted to SAP S/4HANA.

To define the scope of your custom code migration project, you can either use your usage data collected with
transaction SUSG or your usage data collected in your Solution Manager (this requires Solution Manager 7.2
support package 8 or higher).

 Note

If you have not aggregated your usage data so far, you should activate the aggregation of your usage data in
transaction SUSG in your production system now. To do so, start transaction SUSG in your production
system and choose Activate to activate the aggregation of your usage data.

Ideally, the usage data you add to your custom code migration project should cover at least one year of
usage information, so that also usage data of quarter and year ending functionality is considered.

2.1.3.2.1 Adding Usage Data to your Custom Code

Migration Project

To define the scope of your custom code migration project, you can use your usage data collected with
transaction SUSG.

Procedure

1. Start transaction SUSG in your production system.

or in the list “Scoped Objects”.
5. Choose Add to Scope or Remove from Scope.

When is an object in scope or out of scope?

Objects are in scope, if …

● … they are added to the scope explicitly (by object),

● … their package is added to scope explicitly,
● … they are used by at least one request entry point which is in scope,
● … they are referenced by any other object which is in scope,
● or their object type has no usage data.

Objects are out of scope, if …

● … they are removed from scope explicitly (by object),

● or they are not used by any request entry point.

Example

When do you need to change the scope of your custom code migration project?

● Scenario 1
A transaction which is used in your Business Suite system shall not be used any longer, because you want
to change your business processes in SAP S/4HANA.
Choose the filter Scope by Request Entry Points for your transaction and remove the request entry point
from your scope.
● Scenario 2
A new functionality is in development but has not been used in your production system yet. Therefore, no
usage data has been collected for this application and it has not been added to your scope automatically.
Choose the filter Scope by Package for all packages containing your developments for the new functionality
and add them to your scope.

2.2 Using SAP NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP 7.52

as Central Check System

Performing the Custom Code Analysis

If the central check system is based on SAP NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP 7.52, your custom code
needs to be checked remotely against the SAP S/4HANA simplification items in the Simplification Database
using ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) in the classic SAP GUI. The result is a list of findings where your custom code
does not comply with the scope and data structure of SAP S/4HANA. At this point, you can estimate the effort
required to adapt custom code to be migrated to SAP S/4HANA.

 Note

The Central Check System can be used to check one or more SAP Business Suite systems.

Enabling the Custom Code Analysis

To perform the custom code analysis, you need to set up a centralized SAP NetWeaver AS for ABAP 7.52
system as the Central Check System within your SAP system landscape.

For remote access, the Central Check System needs RFC destinations for each relevant system that you want
to check using ATC. When executed, the Central Check System accesses the checked system using Remote
Stubs and the RFC connection. These Remote Stubs are an interface between the Central Check System and
the checked system and return a model from custom code that needs to be checked.

3. Navigate to the package of the objects.
4. Select the object you want to add to or remove from the scope either in the list “Not Scoped Objects”
or in the list “Scoped Objects”.
5. Choose Add to Scope or Remove from Scope.

When is an object in scope or out of scope?

Objects are in scope, if …

● … they are added to the scope explicitly (by object),

● … their package is added to scope explicitly,
● … they are used by at least one request entry point which is in scope,
● … they are referenced by any other object which is in scope,
● or their object type has no usage data.

Objects are out of scope, if …

● … they are removed from scope explicitly (by object),

● or they are not used by any request entry point.

Example

When do you need to change the scope of your custom code migration project?

● Scenario 1
A transaction which is used in your Business Suite system shall not be used any longer, because you want
to change your business processes in SAP S/4HANA.
Choose the filter Scope by Request Entry Points for your transaction and remove the request entry point
from your scope.
● Scenario 2
A new functionality is in development but has not been used in your production system yet. Therefore, no
usage data has been collected for this application and it has not been added to your scope automatically.
Choose the filter Scope by Package for all packages containing your developments for the new functionality
and add them to your scope.

2.3.2.2.3 Removing Unused Custom Code During System

Conversion

When you have specified your scope in your custom code migration project, you can create a transport request
in the checked system. This transport request contains all objects which will not be migrated during the system
conversion.

Procedure

Choose Save Scope as Transport Request to create the transport request.

The transport request is also shown in the field Request/Task in your custom code migration project.

cannot be fixed (so-called false positives). In this case and especially in the context of the Custom Code

Custom Code Migration Guide for SAP S/4HANA 1909

64 PUBLIC Custom Code Adaptation After System Conversion
Adaptation to SAP S/4HANA, we recommend that you use pseudo comments to suppress the specific ATC
finding.

Procedure

 Note

If SAP S/4HANA-related pseudo comments are available for an ATC finding, they can easily be applied as a
Quick Fix.

Apply the Quick Fix. For more information, see Applying Quick Fixes [page 61].

The pseudo comment is appended at the end of the code line in question.

 Remember

The pseudo comment appended does not fix the ATC finding. It only suppresses the ATC finding, so it does
not appear anymore after a recheck.

3.3.4 Rechecking the Active Result

Once you have fixed the ATC findings of the check group S/4HANA: Search for S/4 related syntax errors, you
need to recheck the active result and fix all other ATC findings.

Procedure

1. Open the ATC Result Browser view.

2. Right-click Active Result and choose Recheck.
3. Open the ATC Problems view.

The view shows a Worklist of ATC findings resulting from the recheck on the active result.

4. Fix the ATC findings in the Worklist.
5. Recheck the Active Result in ATC Result Browser view again to validate that the ATC findings are fixed.

 Note

Repeat the steps 4 and 5 if there are still ATC findings in the Worklist after the recheck.

3.4 Rerunning Local SAP S/4HANA Checks

Rerun the local ATC run series once all the ATC findings are fixed, since new ATC findings could have emerged
during the adaptation of your custom code.

4 What's Next?

There are a few more things you can do after the custom code migration:

Testing Applications

Test your applications to check whether your programs run on SAP S/4HANA.

 Note

ATC is not able to find all potential issues (for example, dynamic coding is not covered by static code
checks).

Regular ATC Checks with S4HANA_READINESS

Add the SAP S/4HANA checks with check variant S4HANA_READINESS to your regular ATC checks.

Runtime Checks

Run the Runtime Check Monitor in transaction SRTCM in the new productive system and activate the checks
Empty table in FOR ALL ENTRIES clause and Missing ORDER BY or SORT after SELECT. Schedule the check
runs on a regular basis and correct the additional findings found by the runtime check.

Performance Optimizations

Switch on SQL Monitor in the productive system. Sort the SQL Monitor results by execution time and optimize
the top 10-20 SQLs in your custom code which affect relevant business processes. After performance
optimizations reach the productive system, this process needs to be repeated 2-3 times to achieve the best
results.

What's Next? PUBLIC 67
Optimizing Your Code for SAP S/4HANA

After the successful migration, you can now start to think about optimizing your business processes by using
code push down techniques of SAP S/4HANA, like the Core Data Services (CDS) and ABAP-managed database
procedures (AMDP) implemented by the native HANA language SQL script.

Enabling In-App Help Content Using SAP Enable Now Web Assistant

You can access in-app help from the UIs of an app that provides you context-sensitive help information for UI
elements and guided tours.

To get access to the in-app help, the SAP Enable Now Web Assistant is web-based and needs to be configured
in the context of ABAP platform. In addition, an embedded help system (for example, the SAP Help Portal) is
required.

 Note

In your on-premise system, you need to configure the Web Assistant, before you can benefit from it.

In the context of ABAP environment, Web Assistant is enabled per default.

If you want to customize the help content, you need to implement your own help system.
