STEPS INVOLVED IN
MIGRATION
2
What is SAP HANA Migration?

• SAP HANA migration refers to the process of
  switching from any database offered by SAP to SAP
  HANA
• Once the migration process is complete, SAP HANA
  becomes the main database that is going to
  support the SAP landscape for any business
• SAP HANA is a columnar database, unlike the
  traditional RDBMSs, which are row-based.

Step 1 Sizing the SAP HANA Landscape

• It is an important step considering the need to
  create a technical plan
• It helps the businesses in understanding the
  maximum benefit that they're going to receive
  based on their investment
• Undermining the SAP HANA landscape results in
  unwanted delays and thus, increasing the cost of
  operational performance.

Step 2 Choosing the Right Platform

• Migration to SAP HANA can be done quickly when
  the businesses have determined the right platform
  to cope up with their needs, budget and resources
  
• If SAP HANA is deployed on-premise, it provides
  maximum control with reduced risk
• If SAP HANA is deployed on cloud, it offers
  flexibility and scalability

Step 3 Cleansing Data

• Data cleansing is an important step that has to
  be performed before the integration of SAP
  systems takes place into HANA
• The benefits of cleansing data include-
• reduced data foot print helps in minimizing costs
  related to infrastructure, hardware and licensing
  of SAP HANA
• reduced data size allows businesses to perform
  technical migration with low business downtimes
• with only relevant data present, SAP HANA
  performs better after technical migration has
  taken place

6
Step 4 Applying High Implementation Standards

• Businesses' technical team needs to deploy high
  standards when the migration process takes place
• The team needs to have a comprehensive
  understanding of guidelines related to migration
• Businesses also must avoid unwanted risks that
  might occur during the migration of a database as
  it may result in hindering the smooth migration

7
Step 5 Performing Proof of Concept

• The businesses also must perform a "Proof of
  Concept" in an isolated environment. This helps
  in validating the migration process on an SAP
  HANA platform
