SAP ECC users are facing increasing pressure to upgrade to SAP HANA as SAP plans to phase out ECC support by 2027. While the transition promises improved performance, real-time analytics, and better scalability, the journey isn’t without its challenges. At APPSTCH, we understand these pain points and provide tailored solutions to ensure a smooth upgrade process.
Common Challenges After Upgrading to SAP HANA
1. Performance Optimization Issues
Many businesses expect an instant performance boost after migration, but without proper data restructuring and indexing, performance may not meet expectations.
Solution:
- Optimize custom code using SAP HANA best practices.
- Utilize HANA-specific performance tuning like columnar storage and in-memory computing.
2. Data Migration Complexities
Migrating large volumes of data from SAP ECC to HANA can lead to data integrity issues, missing records, and extended downtime.
Solution:
- Implement a phased migration strategy with rigorous data validation.
- Use SAP Data Services and APPSTCH’s migration framework for a seamless transition.
3. Custom Code Compatibility Issues
SAP ECC custom ABAP code may not function efficiently on HANA due to deprecated functions or database-specific dependencies.
Solution:
- Conduct HANA Readiness Checks to identify incompatible code.
- Utilize APPSTCH’s ABAP optimization services to rewrite inefficient queries.
4. User Training and Adoption
Employees may struggle with the new SAP HANA interface, affecting productivity.
Solution:
- Provide comprehensive training for IT teams and end-users.
- Leverage SAP Fiori apps for an improved and intuitive user experience.
5. Integration Challenges
Businesses using third-party applications may face compatibility issues when integrating with SAP HANA.
