Migration related to ABAP

[Former Member]

hi guys,

we are going for OSDB migration from January.

OS : Unix to Solaris

DB : Oracle 8 to Oracle 9.

We need to find what will be the influence of ABAP addon programs if we change the OS and DB.So we are analysing the custom code to find the effect of it.

Could somebody tell me what are all the checks i have to perform with addon ABAP programs to ensure that No problem will occur due to OSDB migration.

We are peforming below checks now in addon programs.

1-External command Usage(OS commands)

2-File path and Logical path changes

3-IDOC Port setting

4-Native sql.

Can some body add me some more checks required to perform in this case.?

If no checks are required could you please refer me any SAP documents/Notes saying like that.

I checked the SAP OSDBmigration documents i could not find anywhere specifying about

ABAP addon program checks.

Thanks.

Hi Chandra,

ABAP source is platform independent. The ABAP loads are platform dependent, but they do not get migrated. They get regenerated on the new platform after the migration.

Hello,

The ABAP addon programs will not be get affetced due to OS/DB migration, everything will be taken care by the SAP tool Export/Import.

This may be the case if you are doing Unicode Conversion, that time you need to do the Unicode conversion Impact analysis using SAP tool like UCCHECK, SPUMG..

Hope this will help you.

Best Regards,

Sachin.
