1 Custom Code Migration Guide for SAP S/
4HANA 2021

This guide focuses on the custom code related process from checking custom code remotely, analyzing the
findings, and finally adapting the custom code to SAP S/4HANA 2021.

Read this guide to get instructions on how to adapt your custom code to SAP S/4HANA 2021.

 Note

Starting a migration project also provides the opportunity to think about a general re-organization of your
custom code. For this purpose, we recommend you to make yourself familiar with the new extensibility
capabilities and the new technologies in SAP S/4HANA. A comprehensive overview you will find here:
Custom Extensions in SAP S/4HANA Implementations

1.1 System Conversion

Custom Code Migration is part of the system conversion process from the classic SAP Business Suite running
on any database to the SAP S/4HANA system. In the context of this system conversion, custom ABAP source
code needs to be adapted, since a lot of SAP code within SAP S/4HANA was simplified and in some cases
changed in a non-compatible way.

Some of your custom code objects are not valid anymore and either do not perform as expected or produce
syntax errors or dumps (red objects in the picture). You almost certainly have other objects that do perform as
expected and do not need to be changed (green objects in the picture).

SAP provides tools, based on the Simplification Database, that detect any custom code that needs to be
adapted to SAP S/4HANA. The Simplification Database is a database table in the SAP S/4HANA system that

Custom Code Migration Guide for SAP S/4HANA 2021


Custom Code Migration Guide for SAP S/4HANA 2021 Internal 3
contains all Simplification Items that refer to SAP objects simplified in SAP S/4HANA. Each simplification item
describes changed or removed SAP objects and refers to a dedicated SAP Note that describes the impact of
the change and how the related custom code can be adapted.

1.2 Process

The custom code migration process for the system conversion to SAP S/4HANA describes the tools and
necessary procedures to migrate your custom code. The process consists of the preparatory analysis (custom
code scoping and custom code analysis) and the adaptation of the custom code (custom code adaptation)
after the technical system conversion.

The following figure provides you with an overview of the phases, the activities, and the tools involved in this
process.

Overview of the conversion process that is divided into the preparation phase and the realization phase

For more information, see:

SAP S/4HANA System Conversion – Custom code adaptation process

Conversion Guide for SAP S/4HANA

Custom Code Scoping

Custom code scoping enables you to determine the ABAP custom code that is frequently used and needs to be
taken over to SAP S/4HANA. Unused custom code can be deleted using deletion transport requests during the
system conversion. This means, scoping enables you to reduce the number of custom code to be migrated and
to minimize the efforts of the custom code adaptation.

 Note

Scoping is only supported using the Custom Code Migration app.

Custom Code Migration Guide for SAP S/4HANA 2021


4 Internal Custom Code Migration Guide for SAP S/4HANA 2021
 Recommendation

SAP recommends to scope your custom code in order to delete unused custom code and to minimize your
efforts.

If you want to benefit from scoping, you need to monitor your productive system landscape in advance. To
do this, SAP recommends

● Using the ABAP Call Monitor (transaction SCMON) and


● Transaction SUSG to collect usage data in production system for at least one year.

For more information, see

● ABAP Call Monitor (SCMON) – Analyze usage of your code


● Aggregate usage data in your production system with SUSG transaction
● Usage Data Collection

Custom Code Analysis

Custom code analysis enables you to identify the custom code which must be adapted in the context of the
system conversion to SAP S/4HANA.

You have the following possibilities to run the custom code analysis:

● Using the Custom Code Migration app to


○ Run the SAP S/4HANA checks to analyze which custom code needs to be adapted.
○ Get statistical information about the findings in your development objects that need to be adapted.
● Using the classic SAP GUI to run the SAP S/4HANA checks based on the ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC).

Both options provide the relevant checks in a central check system. The central check system can remotely
execute these checks on any ABAP system (SAP_BASIS 7.00 or higher) where the custom code to be
analyzed is stored.

Custom Code Adaptation (Functional Adaptation)

After the system conversion, you need to perform the functional adaptations in your custom code.

In the system conversion, you need to adapt any modifications related to ABAP Dictionary objects using
transaction SPDD.

After you performed the system conversion to SAP S/4HANA with Software Update Manager (SUM), you need
to adapt any modifications related to repository objects using transactions SPAU and SPAU_ENH.

After this, we recommend that you run ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) with SAP S/4HANA checks in ABAP
Development Tools (ADT). The result is a list of ATC findings that relate to SAP S/4HANA simplifications and
refer to SAP Notes which describe how to solve the issues. Based on these ATC findings, you can start adapting
your custom code using quick fixes in a semi-automated way.

 Recommendation

SAP recommends you to run ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) with SAP S/4HANA checks in ABAP Development
Tools (ADT). Here, the check result is provided as a list containing the ATC findings that relate to SAP S/
4HANA simplifications and refer to the SAP Notes which describe how to solve the issues. Based on these
ATC findings and specific quick fixes, you can start adapting your custom code in a semi-automated way.

Custom Code Migration Guide for SAP S/4HANA 2021


Custom Code Migration Guide for SAP S/4HANA 2021 Internal 5
 Note

You also need to adapt some of your custom code if you upgrade from a lower release to SAP S/4HANA
2021.

Performance Tuning
Finally, you need to check which business processes, for example performance of critical database queries,
need to be optimized in SAP HANA. To do this, you need to check which SQL statements can be optimized.

The relevant performance data for all SQL statements executed in your productive system is displayed in .
Here, you can find the most expensive business processes and the most frequently used SQL statements.

2 Custom Code Analysis Before System
Conversion

Overview

Some options of the custom code analysis depend on whether your central check system is an on-premise
system or based on SAP BTP ABAP environment.

Options

Options to Run the Custom Code Analysis

Follow one of the subsequent options to run the custom code analysis:

1. If your central check system is based on SAP S/4HANA 1809 or higher, you can use the Custom Code
Migration app to define the scope of your custom code that needs be migrated to SAP S/4HANA and to
analyze custom code for SAP S/4HANA custom code checks. This SAP Fiori app acts as a central check
system on the latest version of SAP S/4HANA. This ensures that you run the latest version of the SAP S/
4HANA custom code checks.

 Tip

If you choose this option, see Using SAP S/4HANA 2021 as Central Check System [page 8] for more
information on how to run custom code scoping and custom code analysis.

2. If your central check system is based on SAP NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP 7.52, you can use
an ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) central check system instead. The latter analyzes custom code for SAP S/
4HANA custom code checks.

Custom Code Migration Guide for SAP S/4HANA 2021


Custom Code Analysis Before System Conversion Internal 7
With this approach you can neither scope your custom code based on usage data nor filter the analysis
results by scope or quick fix availability.

 Tip

If you choose this option, see chapter Using SAP NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP 7.52 as
Central Check System [page 24] for more information how to run the custom code analysis.

3. If your central check system is based on SAP BTP ABAP environment, you can use the Custom Code
Migration app to define the scope of your custom code that needs to be migrated to SAP S/4HANA and
to analyze custom code for SAP S/4HANA custom code checks. The SAP BTP ABAP environment will
analyze your custom code in your on-premise system remotely through Cloud Connector. The SAP BTP
ABAP environment is updated four times a year and contains the latest features of the Custom Code
Migration app.

 Tip

If you choose this option, see Using SAP BTP ABAP environment as Central Check System [page 39]
for more information how to run the custom code scoping and custom code analysis.

2.1 Using SAP S/4HANA 2021 as Central Check System

If your central check system is based on SAP S/4HANA 2021, you use the Custom Code Migration app to
scope and analyze custom code in your on-premise SAP system for SAP S/4HANA custom code checks. This
ensures that you run the analysis based on the latest ATC check versions in the context of ABAP platform.

The Custom Code Migration app enables you to scope and analyze custom code that needs to be migrated
from an SAP Business Suite system to SAP S/4HANA 2021.

To evaluate the development objects to be adapted, this SAP Fiori app performs the SAP S/4HANA custom
code checks.

2.1.3 Custom Code Analysis with SAP Fiori App


(Recommended)

The Custom Code Migration app enables you to scope and analyze custom code that needs to be migrated
from an SAP Business Suite system to SAP S/4HANA 2021. In addition, this app supports you with identifying
unused custom code based on your collected usage data. This enables you to remove unused custom code
during the system conversion.

Key Features:

Analysis of custom code:

● Graphical representation of custom code analysis results


● Results can be filtered by various categories, such as quick fix availability, scope and usage data

Scoping:

● Based on usage data, you can define which ABAP custom code needs to be migrated to SAP S/4HANA
● This app creates a deletion transport in order to delete unused ABAP source code during the system
conversion to SAP S/4HANA

The Custom Code Migration app enables you to create an SAP S/4HANA Migration Project.

With the help of an SAP S/4HANA Migration Project, you can analyze custom code that shall be migrated from
an existing product like SAP Business Suite to a new product such as SAP S/4HANA 2021.

2.1.3.2 Defining the Scope of Your Custom Code Migration


Project

The Custom Code Migration app supports you with identifying your unused custom code based on your
collected usage data. With the scope of a custom code migration project, you can specify which of your custom
code needs to be converted to SAP S/4HANA.

To define the scope of your custom code migration project, you can either use your usage data collected with
transaction SUSG or your usage data collected in your Solution Manager (this requires Solution Manager 7.2
support package 8 or higher).

● Request Entry Points


Request entry points are all applications or services which are used in your system, such as programs,
transactions, URLs, etc. For each request entry point, the used objects are recorded.
In the initial scope, all used request entry points are added to the scope. You can remove request entry
points from the scope by executing the following steps:
1. Choose Scope.
2. Choose Change Scope.
3. Choose Entry Points (list page).
4. Select the request entry point you want to remove from the scope.
5. Choose Remove Entry Point from Scope.
● Packages
You can add or remove whole packages to/from the scope by executing the following steps:
1. Choose Scope.
2. Choose Change Scope.
3. Choose Packages (list page).
4. Select the package you want to add to or remove from the scope.
5. Choose Add Package to Scope or Remove Package from Scope.
● Objects
You can add or remove single objects to/from the scope by executing the following steps:
1. Choose Scope.
2. Choose Change Scope.
3. Choose Packages (list page).
4. Navigate to the package of the objects.
5. Select the object you want to add to or remove from the scope either in the list “Scoped Objects” or in
the list “Not Scoped Objects”.
6. Choose Add Object to Scope or Remove Object from Scope.

When is an object in scope or out of scope?

Objects are in scope, if …

● … they are added to the scope explicitly (by object),


● … their package is added to scope explicitly,
● … they are used by at least one request entry point which is in scope,
● … they are referenced by any other object which is in scope,
● or their object type has no usage data.

Objects are out of scope, if …

● … they are removed from scope explicitly (by object),


● or they are not used by any request entry point.

Custom Code Migration Guide for SAP S/4HANA 2021


22 Internal Custom Code Analysis Before System Conversion
Example

When do you need to change the scope of your custom code migration project?

● Scenario 1
A transaction which is used in your Business Suite system shall not be used any longer, because you want
to change your business processes in SAP S/4HANA.
Choose the filter Scope by Request Entry Points for your transaction and remove the request entry point
from your scope.
● Scenario 2
A new functionality is in development but has not been used in your production system yet. Therefore, no
usage data has been collected for this application and it has not been added to your scope automatically.
Choose the filter Scope by Package for all packages containing your developments for the new functionality
and add them to your scope.

2.1.3.2.4 Removing Unused Custom Code During System

automatically. The Custom Code Migration app then gives you an analytical representation of SAP S/4HANA
custom code check findings.

Procedure

1. Choose Analysis to get an overview of the results, as soon as the first analysis has been finished.
2. Choose Analyze Findings to get a detailed analysis.
3. In the Custom Code Migration - Analysis - Findings view, you can specify various filters, for example:
○ Simplification Item Category: The simplification item category specifies whether findings are related to
functionality which is not available any more or has been changed in an incompatible way.
○ SAP Note Number: Lets you analyze findings of a specific Simplification Item (for example field length
extension of material number)
○ Scope Information: Lets you filter the findings to show only findings for objects that are in scope.
○ Quick Fix Availability: Lets you analyze which findings can be solved by a Quick Fix and which findings
have to be solved manually.
4. Choose  to change the settings for the chart.

To show the Quick Fix availability per SAP Note title, you must specify the following settings for the chart:
○ SAP Note title (as Category)
○ Findings (as Axis 1)
○ Quick Fix Availability (as Series)

Results

You can now continue with chapter Custom Code Adaptation After System Conversion [page 65].

2.2 Using SAP NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP 7.52


as Central Check System

Performing the Custom Code Analysis

If the central check system is based on SAP NetWeaver Application Server for ABAP 7.52, your custom code
needs to be checked remotely against the SAP S/4HANA simplification items in the Simplification Database
using ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) in the classic SAP GUI. The result is a list of findings where your custom code
does not comply with the scope and data structure of SAP S/4HANA. At this point, you can estimate the effort
required to adapt custom code to be migrated to SAP S/4HANA.

Custom Code Migration Guide for SAP S/4HANA 2021


24 Internal Custom Code Analysis Before System Conversion
 Note

The Central Check System can be used to check one or more SAP Business Suite systems.

Enabling the Custom Code Analysis

To perform the custom code analysis, you need to set up a centralized SAP NetWeaver AS for ABAP 7.52
system as the Central Check System within your SAP system landscape.

For remote access, the Central Check System needs RFC destinations for each relevant system that you want
to check using ATC. When executed, the Central Check System accesses the checked system using Remote
Stubs and the RFC connection. These Remote Stubs are an interface between the Central Check System and
the checked system and return a model from custom code that needs to be checked.

2.3.2 Custom Code Analysis with SAP Fiori App


(Recommended)

The Custom Code Migration app enables you to scope and analyze custom code that needs to be migrated
from an SAP Business Suite system to SAP S/4HANA 2021. In addition, this app supports you with identifying
unused custom code based on your collected usage data. This enables you to remove unused custom code
during the system conversion.

Key Features:

Analysis of custom code:

● Graphical representation of custom code analysis results


● Results can be filtered by various categories, such as quick fix availability, scope and usage data

Scoping:

● Based on usage data, you can define which ABAP custom code needs to be migrated to SAP S/4HANA
● This app creates a deletion transport in order to delete unused ABAP source code during the system
conversion to SAP S/4HANA

The Custom Code Migration app enables you to create an SAP S/4HANA Migration Project.

With the help of an SAP S/4HANA Migration Project, you can analyze custom code that shall be migrated from
an existing product like SAP Business Suite to a new product such as SAP S/4HANA 2021.

 Note

In addition to the SAP S/4HANA Migration Project, the Custom Code Migration app offers two
additional project types.

● The SAP BTP Analysis Project enables you to analyze custom code for readiness to run in SAP BTP
ABAP environment.
● The Custom Code Analysis Project enables you to analyze custom code with arbitrary ATC check
variants.

These project types are not relevant for the custom code migration process and will not be described in this
guide. To find out more about the SAP BTP Analysis and Custom Code Analysis project, you can use the
web assistant and the guided tours in the Custom Code Migration app .

62 Internal Custom Code Analysis Before System Conversion
Example

When do you need to change the scope of your custom code migration project?

● Scenario 1
A transaction which is used in your Business Suite system shall not be used any longer, because you want
to change your business processes in SAP S/4HANA.
Choose the filter Scope by Request Entry Points for your transaction and remove the request entry point
from your scope.
● Scenario 2
A new functionality is in development but has not been used in your production system yet. Therefore, no
usage data has been collected for this application and it has not been added to your scope automatically.
Choose the filter Scope by Package for all packages containing your developments for the new functionality
and add them to your scope.

2.3.2.2.4 Removing Unused Custom Code During System


Conversion

When you have specified your scope in your custom code migration project, you can create a deletion transport
in the checked system. This deletion transport contains all objects which will not be migrated during the
system conversion.

Procedure

Choose Create Deletion Transport to create the deletion transport.

The deletion transport is also shown in the field Request/Task in your custom code migration project.

Next Steps

For more information, see chapter "Integration of Customer Transports" in the corresponding upgrade guide
for SAP HANA DB Software Update Manager 2.0.

2.3.2.3 Analyzing the Findings

When you create a custom code migration project, the SAP S/4HANA custom code checks are performed
automatically. The Custom Code Migration app then gives you an analytical representation of SAP S/4HANA
custom code check findings.

Procedure

1. Choose Analysis to get an overview of the results, as soon as the first analysis has been finished.
2. Choose Analyze Findings to get a detailed analysis.
3. In the Custom Code Migration - Analysis - Findings view, you can specify various filters, for example:
○ Simplification Item Category: The simplification item category specifies whether findings are related to
functionality which is not available any more or has been changed in an incompatible way.
○ SAP Note Number: Lets you analyze findings of a specific Simplification Item (for example field length
extension of material number)
○ Scope Information: Lets you filter the findings to show only findings for objects that are in scope.
○ Quick Fix Availability: Lets you analyze which findings can be solved by a Quick Fix and which findings
have to be solved manually.
4. Choose  to change the settings for the chart.

To show the Quick Fix availability per SAP Note title, you must specify the following settings for the chart:
○ SAP Note title (as Category)
○ Findings (as Axis 1)
○ Quick Fix Availability (as Series)

Results

You can now continue with chapter Custom Code Adaptation After System Conversion [page 65].

9. Review the changes. Here, a comparison editor is displayed where you can review the refactored source
code. The code line where the source code has been refactored is highlighted.

In this example, an order by primary key statement was added to the source code to fix the ATC
finding.
10. Choose Finish.

Results

You applied Quick Fixes for multiple ATC findings at once.

3.3.3.1.2 Adding Quick Fix Comments

This feature enables you to add automatically generated comments to your refactored code.

Context

 Note

● In order to keep your code readable and clean, SAP recommends to leave this function deactivated.
● Quick fix comments are currently available only for transportable objects. It is not possible to apply
them for local objects.

Custom Code Migration Guide for SAP S/4HANA 2021


Custom Code Adaptation After System Conversion Internal 75
Procedure

1. To enable quick fix comments in your system, start the report SATC_AC_QFIX_COMMENTS_ENABLED and
mark the checkbox.

The source code comment in the refactored code contains the following information:
○ description of the applied quick fix
○ description from the related transport request
○ ID of related transport request
○ your old source code before the quick fix
2. To deactivate quick fix comments in your system, run the report SATC_AC_QFIX_COMMENTS_ENABLED
and unmark the checkbox.

Example

 Sample Code

* Quick Fix Delete 'COMPUTE'.


* Transport YKKK012712 Downport Quickfix comments
* Replaced Code:
* COMPUTE: a = 2 * 4,
a = 2 * 4.
* End of Quick Fix

This is an example of a quick fix comment that has been automatically generated and added to the refactored
code. It contains the following information:

● 1. row: applied quick fix.


● 2. row: number and description of the transport request
● 4. row: replaced code as comment
● 5. row: refactored code
● 6. row: End of quick fix and quick fix comment

3.3.3.2 Using Pseudo Comments

Pseudo comments are one way of suppressing ATC findings. Sometimes it is the case that certain ATC findings
cannot be fixed (so-called false positives). In this case and especially in the context of the Custom Code

Custom Code Migration Guide for SAP S/4HANA 2021


76 Internal Custom Code Adaptation After System Conversion
Adaptation to SAP S/4HANA, we recommend that you use pseudo comments to suppress the specific ATC
finding.

Procedure

 Note

If SAP S/4HANA-related pseudo comments are available for an ATC finding, they can easily be applied as a
Quick Fix.

Apply the Quick Fix. For more information, see Applying Quick Fixes [page 72].

The pseudo comment is appended at the end of the code line in question.

 Remember

The pseudo comment appended does not fix the ATC finding. It only suppresses the ATC finding, so it does
not appear anymore after a recheck.

3.3.4 Rechecking the Active Result

Once you have fixed the ATC findings of the check group S/4HANA: Search for S/4 related syntax errors, you
need to recheck the active result and fix all other ATC findings.

Procedure

1. Open the ATC Result Browser view.


2. Right-click Active Result and choose Recheck.
3. Open the ATC Problems view.

The view shows a Worklist of ATC findings resulting from the recheck on the active result.

Custom Code Migration Guide for SAP S/4HANA 2021


Custom Code Adaptation After System Conversion Internal 77
4. Fix the ATC findings in the Worklist.
5. Recheck the Active Result in ATC Result Browser view again to validate that the ATC findings are fixed.

 Note

Repeat the steps 4 and 5 if there are still ATC findings in the Worklist after the recheck.

3.4 Rerunning Local SAP S/4HANA Checks

Rerun the local ATC run series once all the ATC findings are fixed, since new ATC findings could have emerged
during the adaptation of your custom code.

Custom Code Migration Guide for SAP S/4HANA 2021


78 Internal Custom Code Adaptation After System Conversion
4 What's Next?

There are a few more things you can do after the custom code migration:

Testing Applications

Test your applications to check whether your programs run on SAP S/4HANA.

 Note

ATC is not able to find all potential issues (for example, dynamic coding is not covered by static code
checks).

Regular ATC Checks with S4HANA_READINESS

Add the SAP S/4HANA checks with check variant S4HANA_READINESS to your regular ATC checks.

Runtime Checks

Run the Runtime Check Monitor in transaction SRTCM in the new productive system and activate the checks
Empty table in FOR ALL ENTRIES clause and Missing ORDER BY or SORT after SELECT. Schedule the check
runs on a regular basis and correct the additional findings found by the runtime check.

Performance Optimizations

Switch on SQL Monitor in the productive system. Sort the SQL Monitor results by execution time and optimize
the top 10-20 SQLs in your custom code which affect relevant business processes. After performance
optimizations reach the productive system, this process needs to be repeated 2-3 times to achieve the best
results.

For more information, see ABAP SQL Monitor Implementation Guide and Best Practices

Custom Code Migration Guide for SAP S/4HANA 2021


What's Next? Internal 79
Optimizing Your Code for SAP S/4HANA

After the successful migration, you can now start to think about optimizing your business processes by using
code push down techniques of SAP S/4HANA, like the Core Data Services (CDS) and ABAP-managed database
procedures (AMDP) implemented by the native HANA language SQL script.

Enabling In-App Help Content Using SAP Enable Now Web Assistant

You can access in-app help from the UIs of an app that provides you context-sensitive help information for UI
elements and guided tours.

To get access to the in-app help, the SAP Enable Now Web Assistant is web-based and needs to be configured
in the context of ABAP platform. In addition, an embedded help system (for example, the SAP Help Portal) is
required.

 Note

In your on-premise system, you need to configure the Web Assistant, before you can benefit from it.

In the context of ABAP environment, Web Assistant is enabled per default.

If you want to customize the help content, you need to implement your own help system.
