S4HANA Migration Security Authorization Steps Summary And Trick To Remember For Interview

 SUMMARY STEPS for S4HANA MIGRATION

1) Select Migration Approach - To decide which approach is selected 

Basically there can 3 approaches- 

a) System Conversion (aka “Brownfield-Approach”) or Inplace conversion

b) New Implementation (aka “Greenfield-Approach”) or  Shell conversion

c) Selective Data Transition to SAP S/4HANA or Remote conversion

2) Define Scope Of Upgrade - creating sow's showcasing inclusion of Fiori and HANA-DB

3) Backup Roles Before Executing Su25 - this step most useful for Inplace conversion

4) Consensus/Agreement -  Document for process design proposals.

Includes how to handle Dual maintenance Activities and Parallel run , there should be process to adapt the new BW4 roles and authorization present while having existing system working(mostly in case of Remote Conversion)

5) Simplification List - you can get it from SAP Note . List showcasing details of all the auth changes going to happen in S4HANA

6) Review Table - PRGN2_CORR2, Prog - PROFGEN_CORR_REPORT_2 and the table ABLM_BLACKLIST for the changes in the release

7) SU24_AUTO_REPAIR - Execute program to repair inconsistencies between su21 and su24 for  authorizations fields

8) Timestamp - Execute report Su25_INITIALIZE_TSTMP to initialize timestamp logic for su25

9) SU25 Upgrade - Perform security upgrade using T-code su25

10) Review Output of Su25 -Step 2b and 2d and decide weather to accept new transaction codes or continue with old 

11) Su25 - Step 2c - Adjust Authorizations in role directly in step 2C or using PFCG

12) Transport Role - Create transport for su24 changes using su25- step 3

Finally Create transport of Roles
