How to use the Migration Assessment Application to get ready to migrate your SAP Process Orchestration Scenarios?

[vishakha_deshmukh]

The purpose of this blog is to guide you through Migration Assessment, a new capability of the SAP Integration Suite. The Migration Assessment feature allows you to evaluate your SAP Process Orchestration system prior to migrating to the SAP Integration Suite.

Migration assessment assists you to estimate the technical efforts required for the migration process and determines how various integration scenarios can be migrated. It focuses on extraction and assessment of your current landscapes design time artifacts. This capability serves as the basis for your overall migration planning.

Key Benefits

• Automatic process to extract and assess integration scenarios from SAP Process Orchestration.


• Reduces the effort of an assessment to hours instead of days or weeks vs. manually.


• Proactively reduces the risk of a migration project.


• Helps in decision-making of integration scenarios in a phased manner.


• Provides upfront transparency on estimated migration costs.

You can also find more introductory information about the Migration Assessment capability in the SAP announcement blog for Migration Assessment.

Is this Migration assessment Applicable only to PO ?? not PI (Dual Stack)?

[RichiKleibl]

You can run it on the Dual Stack as well, but currently, we only evaluating ICOs and PO iFlows.

Did I get it right, that I have to subscribe to the SAP Integration Suite to get access to this tool?
That means, that I have to purchase the Integration Suite to find out, if a migration makes sense?
We already have a Cloud platform enterprise agreement and SAP CPI.

Thank you for clarifying this.

Hello Thorsten,

 

that is correct. It is part of the Integration Suite. You can set it up as a free-tier account and use it for free, so no costs would be involved then.

 

Kind regards

Hello Steve,

 

yes in the past it was necessary to create the BTP destination manually. Now you can enter the values directly in the App and it creates the BTP destination automatically.

Therefore, you have to enter more values.

 

Kind regards

Hi Richard Kleibl,

just an update for your last message about the procedure to follow. I'd to create manually the

destionation on BTP subaccount, because the app didn't create the destination into BTP.

HI Deshmuk/Richard,

This blog really helped me to connect to PO from integration suite. One thing which was not mentoined in the SAP help section is that destination name should be same in the BTP destination service and in the migration cockpit --> Add system place.

I have successfully connected and downloaded the evaluation report and i can see all my objects comes under size S and Assesment category is Ready to Migrate. Only thing i didn't understand is what is the unit of Weight --> weight means in Hours on in days ?

 

[RichiKleibl]

Hello,

 

thanks for your feedback.

Actually, there is no longer the need to manually create a BTP destination, this is covered via Assessment UI (Settings) automatically

 

The weight is a factor we aggregate and afterwards map to a T-Shirt Size. So it just describes the complexity of migration such a feature.

 

Kind regards

[RichiKleibl]

Hello,

hopefully, this is working automatically now.
