In the Figaf , we have added an Integration Assessment to give you an overview of your SAP PI/PO system before you start planning your migration. We have been improving the report to give a more useful result. If you where to go to any company creating reports for your integration landscape this would be worth 1000s of EURs, you can get it for free.
You can freely use the Figaf Migration Edition to help assess your migration or customers.
Figaf reports gives you more details than SAPs migration report. In their report you can only see summary. Figaf covers all details about your landscape. We give you a table with all the information about systems in the landscapes, File Content Conversion, RFC lookups used, Mapping Parameters, and much more that will allow you to avoid surprises in the migration
SAP is also in the process of delivering its tooling to give you the information, and it will be rolled out as a part of the migration effort. It will only support 7.5. So if you have other platforms, you need to user our tool.
Assessing your migration with Figaf
The assessment from Figaf will give you information about what kind of setup you have in your landscape.
- Systems involved in the integration should give you an understanding of what is going on with it
- Channel types, channel status (2410)
- The Adapter Modules so you can see if there is any special handling happening.
- Which operation mappings are used
- Which types of mappings are used for each interface, is it message mappings, XSLT, java or ABAP
- Function libs and RFC Lookups
- Which scenario types is used
- Custom tags are a way to search for problems before the migration. We provide a default list of objects
- BPMN scenarios
- Message run statistics
The tool supports both Receiver Determination and ICO objects. This makes it quite useful for people using older versions of SAP PI/PO. We should support most cases from 7.1.
Here is an example of the report (CSV file) Updated to latest version from 2212.1:
Once you start migration, you can see which of the integrations that has been migrated and moved into production.
