Moving BW from DB2 to HANA. Impact on BCS?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

The client here is planning on moving the BW system from DB2 to HANA and whats to know what in BCS cannot be copied over to the new HANA environment.

The approach will be to take a copy of the current production (possibly development though) on DB2, and make it the development box of the new HANA environment.

Does anyone know what potential issues we may face in this? Will anything in BCS need to be reconfigured, like hierarchies, monitors, etc. All of the transactional and consolidation data in cubes, along with the objects will be copied over with no issues (per our BW team), its the BCS specific stuff they don't know about.

Any insight or experience with this is appreciated!

Thanks!

Hi Jay

There is no specific activities (which mentioned above) need to do once SAP Hana implement on your system.

Best way is once HANA implemented do the all type of testings and activities relates to every month closing.

Thanks for the response. Have you heard of any impact to the data streams or data sources? There is concern that those cannot be migrated..

Hi Jay

In the HANA Migration process we need to do optimization all cubes which we are using includes BCS cubes also.

Then do routine functional testing if requires need to regenerate BCS cubes in the workbench.

@Team:  Please correct me if anything mentioned wrong.
