When it is used?
- You want to migrate your existing SAP ABAP system to the SAP HANA database
- Your SAP release needs to be upgraded prior to migration
What Benefit it brings?
- Migration steps are simplified
- System update, Unicode Conversion, and database migration are combined in one tool
- Business downtime is reduced
- The source database remains consistent, so a fast fallback is possible
If you want to migrate an existing SAP system (running on anyDB) to a SAP HANA database, required steps may be a dual-stack split, a unicode conversion, a database upgrade of anyDB, an upgrade of your SAP software, and a database migration to SAP HANA. The Software Update Manager (SUM) includes an option that combines the upgrade with the database migration “database migration option” (DMO) for SUM. It is sometimes referred to as the one-step migration procedure, compared to the classical migration (i.e. heterogenous system copy, using Software Provisioning Manager).
The DMO is an inplace-migration (instead of a new installation): it upgrades and migrates the existing system while keeping the system-ID, host name, and connectivity settings stable.
