Migrating out of SAP HANA?

[Former Member]

I know it's a strange question to ask, why would you migrate out of SAP HANA? right?... wrong

At least one customer will ask what if they decided to move to another database is that even supported?

Is there is a migration path from SAP HANA to anyDB?

Thanks Ning, I was more concerned about SAP solutions optimised on SAP HANA like SAP S/4. SAP S/4 HANA ->AnyDB, is there such path?

Hi Donald,

No, that path does not exist.

Hi Donald,

...Maybe high hardware cost or other limitations (I just guess, but in fact, I haven't met such case).

Use SWPM export/import method to perform heterogenous system copy to move to anyDB which is supported (Note 1738258 - System Copy of Systems Based on SAP NetWeaver 7.1 and Higher).

Before migration, you should think if the application server support anyDB or not.

for example, S/4HANA and BW/4HANA do not support transitional database any longer.
