If you're upgrading (not converting) using **Panaya S/4Accelerate**, please [use this guide instead](/v1/docs/panaya-sap-s4accelerate-extraction-process). --- ## πŸ”§ Prerequisites Before you start, make sure you have: - SAP access with permissions to run and create ABAP programs, jobs, or `SAP_ALL` level access - Panaya login credentials - A modern browser (Chrome 15+ or Edge Edge) - Enough SAP system memory (If required please run SE38 > `rsmemory` and set: - `abap/heap_area_dia` & `abap/heap_area_nondia` = **8GB** - `abap/heap_area_total` = **16GB** --- --- ## πŸ“Œ Step A: Check Implemented SAP Notes The SI check should run on **PRD** or a **PRD copy** (must include usage stats) **SAP Requirement**: ERP 6.0 or higher [More on Simplification Item Check](https://blogs.sap.com/2018/03/26/sap-s4hana-simplification-item-check-how-to-do-it-right./) --- Check if the following Notes are installed (Relevant only for SI, not relevant for extract without SI): - [2399707](https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2399707) – SI Check - [2187425](https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2187425) – TCI Prerequisite - [2502552](https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2502552) – New SI Checks - [2943919](http://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2943919) – Duplicate Checks --- --- ## πŸ“Œ Step B: Run the SI Check 1. Go to the [SAP Launchpad](https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#sic) 2. Download the **Simplification Item Catalog ZIP** file 3. In SE38, run `/SDF/RC_START_CHECK` 4. Upload the ZIP file and **select your S/4HANA target version** 5. Execute the check (F8) 6. Click **"Check Consistency for All"** 7. If it’s too slow, [read this](/long-running-si-consistency-checks) --- ## πŸ“Œ Step C: Prep the ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC) ATC runs on a **Central Check System** (SAP NetWeaver 7.52 and on) Follow these steps: - Check if the following SAP Notes are implemented ([2436688](https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2436688), [2364916](https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/2364916), 2423013, 2527903, 2505671, 2518335, 2524014, 2503289, 2546419, 2942419, 3105801) - Install the correct Note for your S/4HANA version (e.g., [3365357](https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/notes/3365357) for 2023) --- ## πŸ“Œ Step D: Import Simplification Database Content 1. Go to [SAP Support Download Center](https://support.sap.com/swdc) 2. Search and download component `CCMSIDB` 3. Use **transaction SYCM** to import the ZIP file - Menu > *Simplification Database Import from ZIP File* 4. Alternatively: run `SYCM_UPLOAD_SIMPLIFIC_INFO` in SE38 --- ## πŸ“Œ Step E: ATC Configuration 1. Assign role `SAP_SATC_ADMIN` 2. Add required authorizations (`S_YCM`) 3. Create RFC to SBX system – see [RFC Setup](/how-to-define-rfc-connection-for-the-panaya-extractor) 4. Apply the check variant 5. [ATC Setup Guide](/how-to-configure-execute-the-abap-test-cockpit-atc-for-sap-s4-conversion) 6. In the Central System, run transaction `ATC` to configure and run remote checks - [See this screen recording](https://zoom.us/rec/share/xI9uJOve9kRIGdad4xDYVpF8R72_eaa80yMb8qYMmCzvAn0EBIKnuRpuV-vhcvU?startTime=1585152146000) --- ## πŸ“Œ Step F: SAP Code Inspector (SCI) – HANA 2.0 Prep Required for HANA migration readiness. - SCI must include: - `ZPANAYA_FUNCTIONAL_DB_ADDITION` β†’ variant `FUNCTIONAL_DB_ADDITION` - `ZPANAYA_Performance_DB` β†’ variant `Performance_DB` - Can be run on a different system if needed - [How to run SCI elsewhere](/how-to-run-the-hana-code-inspector-on-a-different-system) - [Watch recording](https://zoom.us/rec/play/ESB8xeaNPKj0D3GnC4LT_ytwVp4NtZKwcjuBwSrLuGjwVBciJsGheEjz19OxvGgbq9vyYDHu_iqZzBOq.Z26NPGnze4fC9Zsr?startTime=1585176401000) --- ## πŸ“Œ Step I: Create Required RFC Connections Use `SM59` to define the following connections: | From | To | RFC Destination | Type | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | ATC β†’ SBX | `ATC_RFC` | 3 (ABAP) | | | SBX β†’ PRD | `PANAYA_PRD` | 3 (ABAP) | | | SBX β†’ ATC | `PANAYA_ATC` | 3 (ABAP) | | | SBX β†’ PRD (Client 000) | `PANAYA_SI` | 3 (ABAP) | | More details: - [RFC Requirements](/authorizations-required-for-the-code-extraction-rfc-user) - [Define RFCs](/how-to-define-rfc-connection-for-the-panaya-extractor) --- ## πŸ“Œ Step J: Extract Custom Code with Panaya Tool 1. In Panaya, go to **Settings** 2. Choose your ERP version 3. Download the ABAP extraction code 4. Create program `ZPANAYA_EXTRACT_PROG_LIB` in SE38 and paste code - [How to install](/how-to-install-abap-program) 5. Execute in **Background Mode** - Directory: `\tmp` - RFC Destinations: - `PANAYA_PRD` – for code - `PANAYA_SI` – for SI checks (must be client 000) - `PANAYA_ATC` – for ATC results 6. SCI Mode: Choose **Option A** or [read options](/how-to-define-hana-20-sap-code-inspector-execution) 7.

Locate the extraction XML file - [How to locate](/how-to-extract-and-upload-your-custom-code) 2. Compress it using **Gzip** (not RAR) - [Gzip Tool](http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gzip.htm) 3. **Do not use SAP transactions (e.g., AL11, CG3Z) to move the file** 4. Use WinSCP or another tool to move it to your local machine 5. Upload to Panaya Code Box
