Migration Assessment Overview

Migration Assessment evaluates the complexity and effort required to migrate integration scenarios from SAP Process Orchestration to SAP Integration Suite.

Key Capabilities

1. Data Extraction - Extract from SAP PO/PI systems
2. Data Evaluation - Analyze integration scenarios
3. Effort Estimation - Estimate migration effort

Supported PO/PI Versions

Version	Minimum SP
7.31	SP28+
7.40	SP23+
7.50	SP06+

Assessment Status Levels

Status	Description
Ready to migrate	Direct migration possible
Adjustment required	Manual modifications needed
Evaluation required	Complex assessment needed

Assessment Workflow

1. Connect PO System
        ↓
2. Create Extraction Request
        ↓
3. Extract Data
        ↓
4. Evaluate Scenarios
        ↓
5. Review Assessment Report
        ↓
6. Plan Migration

Migration Tooling

Migration Tooling is a pattern-based feature that converts PO/PI integration objects to Cloud Integration flows.

How It Works

1. Analyze - Examine migratable object
2. Match - Map to integration pattern
3. Generate - Create Cloud Integration flow
4. Deploy - Deploy to tenant

Supported Object Types

Object Type	Description
ICO	Integrated Configuration Objects
Receiver Determination	Message routing config

Migration Approaches

Approach	Description	Use Case
Standard	Direct pattern-based migration	Simple scenarios
Pipeline	Step-by-step migration	Complex scenarios
Modular	Component-based migration	Large interfaces

Migration Patterns

Standard Patterns

Supported integration patterns with direct migration:

Pattern	Description
Point-to-Point	Simple A→B integration
Content-Based Routing	Conditional routing
Message Mapping	Transformation
Message Split	Divide messages
Request-Reply	Synchronous call

Pipeline Approach

For complex scenarios:

┌───────────────┐
│  PO Scenario  │
└───────┬───────┘
        │
┌───────▼───────┐
│  Stage 1:     │
│  Extract Data │
└───────┬───────┘
        │
┌───────▼───────┐
│  Stage 2:     │
│  Transform    │
└───────┬───────┘
        │
┌───────▼───────┐
│  Stage 3:     │
│  Validate     │
└───────┬───────┘
        │
┌───────▼───────┐
│  CI iFlow     │
└───────────────┘

Modular Approach

Break down large interfaces:

1. Identify components in PO
2. Map to CI artifacts
3. Migrate incrementally
4. Test each module
5. Integrate modules

Integration Assessment Overview

Integration Assessment helps assess your integration strategy and determine suitable integration technologies.

Key Capabilities

• Capture ISA-M technology mappings
• Guide interface request workflows
• Apply policies during technology selection
• Provide intelligent recommendations

Assessment Workflow

1. Define Integration Domains
        ↓
2. Specify Integration Styles
        ↓
3. Create Questionnaires
        ↓
4. Evaluate Scenarios
        ↓
5. Receive Recommendations

ISA-M Methodology

SAP Integration Solution Advisory Methodology (ISA-M) provides a structured approach to integration architecture.

ISA-M Components

Component	Description
Integration Domains	Business areas (e.g., Finance, HR)
Integration Styles	Technical patterns (P2P, Process, Data)
Use Case Patterns	Specific scenarios
Technology Mapping	Platform recommendations

Integration Domains

Organize by business area:

Domain	Examples
Finance	AP, AR, GL
HR	Payroll, Benefits
Supply Chain	Procurement, Logistics
Customer	Sales, Service
Manufacturing	Production, Quality

Integration Styles

Style	Description	Technology
Process Integration	Orchestrated flows	Cloud Integration
Data Integration	Bulk data movement	Data Intelligence
Analytics Integration	BI/reporting	SAC
User Integration	UI composition	Build Apps
Thing Integration	IoT devices	IoT Services

Use Case Patterns

Pattern	Description
A2A	Application to Application
B2B	Business to Business
B2G	Business to Government

Questionnaires

Questionnaires guide technology selection decisions.

2. Set answer options with weights
3. Map to technologies
4. Assign to domains

Question Types

Type	Description
Single choice	One answer
Multiple choice	Multiple answers
Free text	Open response
Rating scale	Numeric rating

Sample Questions

• Is this integration synchronous or asynchronous?
• Does this require guaranteed delivery?
• What is the expected message volume?
• Are there regulatory compliance requirements?
• Does this involve B2B partners?
