Possible to Migrate Payroll data from a 4.6C system to an ECC 6.0 system?

30 Views

Hello all,

I have posted this question previously in a different forum, but would be most interested in getting opinions from a Payroll perspective and particularly around how possible it is to migrate the 'Payroll cluster' in the way we are investigating. Thanks.

"We have an ECC6.0/Oracle 11g system which runs Finance, Purchasing and Payroll/HR for our own organisation.

We also have another 4.6C/Oracle9 system where we run only Payroll for another organisation.

This is a separate landscape (Dev / Test / Prod / DR) which runs on its own hardware.

Clearly, this 4.6C system has to be upgraded in the next 12 months or so before it is out of maintenance.

However, we are exploring whether it would be possible to migrate the data from the 4.6C system to our existing ECC6.0 system instead of upgrading the 4.6C system.

In this way, we can decommission the 4.6C hardware and simplify our landscape.

Has anyone undertaken a similar exercise who would be willing to share their experiences?

Or does anyone have any opinions as to whether this would even be possible?

Our initial thinking is that we would probably have to write our own conversion programs and/or possibly use LSMW but it's early days so any feedback is welcome."

Regards...John
