Is it possible to migrate data from a 4.6C system to an ECC 6.0 system?

[former_member339497]

Hello all,

We have an ECC6.0/Oracle 11g system which runs Finance, Purchasing and Payroll/HR for our own organisation.

We also have another 4.6C/Oracle9 system where we run only Payroll for another organisation.

This is a separate landscape (Dev / Test / Prod / DR) which runs on its own hardware.

Clearly, this 4.6C system has to be upgraded in the next 12 months or so before it is out of maintenance.

However, we are exploring whether it would be possible to migrate the data from the 4.6C system to our existing ECC6.0 system instead of upgrading the 4.6C system.

In this way, we can decommission the 4.6C hardware and simplify our landscape.

Has anyone undertaken a similar exercise who would be willing to share their experiences?

Or does anyone have any opinions as to whether this would even be possible?

Our initial thinking is that we would probably have to write our own conversion programs and/or possibly use LSMW but it's early days so any feedback is welcome.

Regards...John

Hi,

You can make of ALE/IDOCs technology to transfer the required data from 4.6C system to ECC 6.0 system. Here you will need to perform necessary mapping of the fields and perform required technical configuration. Later write ABAP codes to fetch and transfer data .

Hope this answers your query.

Hi,

Apart from LSMW, I don't see any other option is there to do the data migration.

Thanks
