GRC AC 10 migration from 5.3 - Steps to import config and application data

[Former Member]

Hello,

We have successfully exported configuration and application data from our 5.3 frontend (RAR only - we do not use CUP or ERM and SPM is only configured on the backend).

We have successfully exported SPM config and application data from 2 sandbox (ECC and SRM).

We have put these 3 pieces in 3 separate directories: FrontendABC (RAR), BackendABC120 (SPM ECC), BackendXYZ500 (SPM SRM).

1. When importing, the Migration Guide instructs to import Configuration first. Do we do the configuration import 3 separate times (one time for each directory) or put all the export files in one directory first?
   1. If the files are in the same directory, wouldn't the SPM data be overwritten?
2. Our migration only includes RAR and SPM. The SPM data is all backend; we have nothing exported from frontend SPM 5.3 as we do not use frontend 5.3. Does this mean we use the "4.0" option when importing SPM configuration and application data?

Please let me know if I need to clarify my questions. Any feedback or tips on the Migration Import process would be great!

Thanks,

Jes

Hi Jes,

1. The configuration & master data are generated from Front end (JAVA). So you you have all the config & master data in the first directory. One you give the directory name during import config, it will identify all the files and import. If you want to do these steps multiple times or split across multiple files, make sure you select append option. (If you dont select append option your data might be overwritten)

2. Once you import config data, complete intra-migration tasks as per the SAP Standard Migration Guide. What you have in the 2nd and 3rd directory are data files. You can Import SPM DATA of ABC120, then import SPM DATA of XYZ500 with append option. You have to use 5.3 option when importing and not 4.0.

Hi Ajesh,

Following your steps, we got through the migration process almost without issue. The one piece that has us confused: We imported config (successfully), imported the RAR data (successfully), imported the first directory of ECC SPM data (successfully), but when we went to import the SRM SPM data from the second directory, no files were available to import. We input the directory, clicked "Get Files," and nothing showed as available options. Obviously at this stage would would have appended the Firefighter data.

Any idea why the directory would show as not having import files? We've confirmed that the files are there.

Thanks again for your kind help!

Hi Jes,

Have you changed the default names assinged to the files ? I am not sure after changing file names, the application will recognize the files. Please check.
