This blog is continuation of my previous work BW on HANA - Pre Migration ACTIVITY .
Many of us , who have been involved in OS/DB migration project [including migration of BW system from XXX (non hana db) to YYY(non hana db)] would be
already aware of the post migration activities . So the 1st question , for first timers (BW on HANA) , that comes to your mind is - "how different is this migration
from the one that i have been doing".In terms of post migration activity , yes you would be doing most of the activities that you were doing in your
previous project. In addition to that , you will have to take extra care of :-
1. converting the standard Info Cubes and Data stores Objects(Not required as of BW 7.4 and should reconvert all the HANA to Standard DSO )
2. No JAVA support (7.3X) on HANA DB ,so configure you JAVA stack ( only if you had dual stack BW before migration) .From NetWeaver 7.40 onwards
you can install BI-JAVA as separate Instance also in HANA.
3. Be aware that now you do not Need BWA or other such accelerators .
4.Validate the activities at HANA studio and in BW (DBA cockpit).
5. Delta handling
other than this (you are invited to add points , if i had missed something ) , at planning level ,i feel you will do the same activity that you have done earlier .
so , we can follow the below task list :-
TASK | Action |
---|---|
put check on the batch jobs | Run BTCTRNS1 |
Activate partner profiles. | check WE20 /WE21 if you maintain partner profiles and Inbound/outbound RFCs |
convert logical system | Run BDLS (converts one logical system to another,which is not present in ur current machine after system copy) on BW and Source systems |
restore Source System in BW | restore it with standards method |
Reset Prog. for ODS and DTP | run RSSGPCLA |
Consistency Check | Run Report RSUPGRCHECK to checks the consistency of generated DDIC objects for BI metadata like InfoObjects, InfoCubes and transfer rules. it helps to determine whether the DDIC tables required for a BI meta object are active. |
check correctness of tables | run RSDU_TABLE_CONSISTENCY to check correctness of tables in row/column store ** check SAP Note for latest info on the same. |
Adjust DB specific DDIC entries | Execute RS_BW_POST_MIGRATION choose HANA specific options :- *chose the variant "SAP&POSTMGRHDB" once done with it , validate that you see these in HANA studio and DBA cockpit - a. Calculation view for all DSOs and Infocubes( for existing ones). **When you activate - CALC views get created for the newly created DSO and InfoCube. |
Optimization | Migrating BW on HANA does not chnages DSOs/InfoCubes into HANA optimized. Only infocube of type standard can be converted to SAP HANA -optimized infocube. use - RSMIGRHANADB or RSDRI_CONVERT_CUBE_TO_INMEMORY . After migration standard infocubes can be found in the SAP HANA database column store.. Similar for DSOs. during conversion be reminded to choose :- a. choose without change log - if you no longer need the data saved in the change log. After migration , no rollback or a delta upgrade old request would be possible. b Reconstruct change log - it has more run time but if the data has been archieved from the DSO only request that affect the archieve area can be restored . Remarks :- i.Standard DSOs are converted to SAP HANA Optimized DSOs only if the DSO is not a part of hybrid provider or a semantically -partitioned objects(SPO). ii.If You are doing delta handling then you should choose keep the change log. |
JAVA Stack (** dual stack system moving to HANADB) | a. goto config tool --> UME and manage it . b. cross check the beckend parameters like - BACKEND_CLIENT,BACKEND_SID,J2EE_ADMIN,J2EE_SID etc c.go to NWA--> Select function BW-Java Configuration |
Delta Handling | Load the latest delta queues to BW -->activate the Info Providers--> Stop all the process chains--> Migrate BW on HANA --> convert the DSO's and Cubes to In memory(if not done above)--> Restart the Process chains. |
SAP Notes to refer | SAP note - 1659383 ; 1695778 , 1846493,1949273 |
do help me to make this checklist better , please give you inputs .
Happy migration :smile:
