Some time ago I created a webinar about SAP PI to PO migrations. I wanted to use the content and share it because it is quite useful for everybody working on a migration. I can see that some of the questions I got on my latest webinar were also about the process. I do hope that this gives a better understanding of what is happening.
As with all things, there are 7 steps to make a good SAP Migration. So if you are in the process these are the steps that I would recommend that you take. It is assumed that you will migrate to a new system because it will make it easier to migrate a single interface at a time. If things do not work you will always have a backup plan.
The 7 steps are the following:
- Goals
- Current integrations
- Pattern mappings
- Resource consumption
- Migration phases
- Development
- Testing
A lot of the process here can be automated with the Figaf tool.
The process should be very iterative because you learn a lot in the process that you can use to migrate other interfaces. In the current integrations step you are going to map out all your existing interfaces together with what types of pattern they are using. This information will then be used in the migration phase and how it is going you may get input on how the next interfaces can be migrated.
You can view this in two different ways. Either you can watch my screen recording video of it.

Or view the slides here and download them if you want to be using them.
I have also created a longer article about some of the steps you need to consider in more detail in the blog SAP XI/PI to PO migration. It is not the same, but the two have a lot in common.
