Custom Code Fixes: S/4HANA Conversion

Custom Code Fixes
S/4HANA Conversion
1 Introduction
After SAP S/4HANA conversion you need to adapt incompatibilities in your custom code to SAP S/4HANA. For this
purpose, you need to fix the SAP S/4HANA findings of the corresponding ATC check results from your custom code.
Findings of the SAP S/4HANA checks are related to SAP S/4HANA simplifications. Each simplification requires a
different approach to solve findings. Therefore, findings of SAP S/4HANA checks refer to the relevant SAP Notes
which describe how you can solve them.
This exercise simulates the following situation. After SAP S/4HANA conversion some of your custom
ABAP programs don’t run correctly or result in errors or even dumps. Therefore, your task is to carry out functional
adaptation for every program to establish the correct behavior.
Example: The program Z_DASHB_SAP_TRANSACTIONS dumps.
Issue: Solution:
In this exercise, you’ll

• Use ATC in ABAP Development Tools for Eclipse
• Check your custom programs for SAP S/4HANA readiness with ATC
• Work with your ATC results and fix the ATC findings one by one

2 S/4HANA local checks using ABAP Test Cockpit
To check for ATC findings in the converted system, you need to configure a local ATC run series that
checks the requested development objects.
2.1 Import the simplification database

To check your custom code against the SAP S/4HANA simplifications, you need to import the
Simplification Database into the Central Check System.
1. Open the SAP Support Launchpad with the following URL

https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/softwarecenter/search/CCMSIDB
2. Download the latest version of Simplification Database form the result
NOTE: The version in your case may be newer than the one showed in the screenshot here.
3. Transfer the file to the terminal server.
NOTE: In case you are not authorized to download the file from the SAP Download Center you can
find a recent version of the Simplification Database in the Terminal Server (10.0.0.31) located in the
folder „C:\temp\xxxxxxx“ and named „CCMSIDB00P_10-80001018“.
4. In your converted system (K<XX> where XX is your group number) call transaction SYCM
5. In the menu select the option More  Simplification Database  Import ZIP File
6. Choose the ZIP file downloaded previously and confirm

7. Confirm and accept the access to the file.
8. Wait the program to complete and check the successful execution.
NOTE: The import may take up to 15 minutes.
9. To check the import, go back to main screen of transaction SYCM and in menu
“Simplification Database” and select option “Show Overview”
10. In the overview screen you can select multiple items and press “Show items for selection” to see the
associated objects.
2.2 System role

1. Run transaction ATC.
2. On the left menu select the option “System Role”.
3. Check that the option “Local ATC Checks Only”.
4. If not change the configuration to the option “Local ATC Checks Only” and save.
2.3 Configuring and scheduling Local ATC Run Series

Now that the Simplification Database is updated you can proceed by creating a new local series in ATC.
1. Run transaction ATC.

2. In the navigation pane, expand the nodes ATC Administration  Runs and double-click the Schedule
Runs entry. The screen that appears displays a list of existing run series.
3. Choose the Create button in the toolbar.
4. Enter a name for the new series and confirm.
5. Specify the following entries for the new run series:

6. Save the configuration.
7. In the list of run series, select the run series in question and click the Schedule button in the toolbar.
8. In the dialog that appears, choose Set to Active Result.
9. Adapt the settings for the Life Span of the series and for Execution to your needs. Otherwise, leave
these settings unchanged.
10. Choose Execute in Background (F9) to schedule the run series and choose “Immediate” in the
schedule.
2.4 Check the result

Now that the analysis has been executed successfully, we can check the result from ABAP Test
Cockpit.

1. Call transaction ATC
2. Select “Monitor and Control runs”
3. Select your run from the list and press the button
4. Now we have access to the result and you can check the different object in detail by double- clicking
in the entries. In the details you can also see the note number containing information about the type
of fix potentially required.
5. Select all objects and then press the button (Change Contact Person) and insert your
username in the resulting pop-up. This will assign all these results to your user for further analysis and
resolution. You can use this functionality to organize the work in a project and assign different objects
or categories to different developers.
6. If you click the button “Statistics View” you will get access to a summary of the resulted items
organized by the different category checks.

7. If you expand the different categories, you can see the single checks and double clicking on it you
have the list of objects containing the potential issue.

8. If you now click on the object name you will be redirected to the source code where you will be able to
see the code directly with the relevant instructions highlighted.
9. Now you can continue the analysis by selecting the different objects listed and verifying what is the
impact and the required fix.
