To successfully extract custom code for your S/4HANA conversion or upgrade, the ATC Run results must be provided. An initial ATC Run should be executed before using the Panaya Custom Code extraction program. > [!CAUTION] > Important! > > Be sure to always log in to SAP using the same language for all ATC Runs, so that the ATC output language is consistent throughout the project. > [!CAUTION] > Regenerate ABAP Loads Before Running ATC Checks! > > This is especially recommended after major system changes, such as: > > - SAP upgrade or conversion > - Support package or feature package update > - Large transport import or other major repository changes > - **For copied or refreshed systems**, the SAP Basis team should confirm whether SGEN is required as part of the post-copy activities. If required, complete SGEN before running ATC checks. > > Use SAP transaction SGEN — ABAP Load Generator to generate or regenerate ABAP loads in the checked ATC system. This article is part of our [S/4HANA Setup Guide](/v1/docs/panaya-sap-s4hana-preparation-process) --- ## Step A - Configure the Remote SAP S/4HANA Checks ### Setting the Role as Central Check System **Are you executing the ATC locally and not using a Central Check System?**Skip directly to step B 1.
