SAP is setting a new course: LSMW is history; the SAP Migration Cockpit is the future of data migration. Sounds good\u2014but how do you actually go from theory to a working system? <\/p>\n\n

In this article, we take you behind the scenes and show you step by step how to configure the SAP Migration Cockpit in the Fiori Launchpad and how to handle any issues that arise. This article <\/strong>focuses on the S\/4HANA on-premise system.<\/p>\n\n

System Requirements for the SAP Migration Cockpit<\/h2>\n\n

To use the SAP Migration Cockpit, your SAP system must already be running on an S\/4HANA system. We explained why this migration is worthwhile and what factors are involved in the first blog post in this series<\/a>. The Migration Cockpit for on-premise is available starting with Release 1610 (on-premise) and has been significantly expanded and improved over the years. <\/p>\n\n

The Migration App is also available in the cloud. It can be found under the name SAP S\/4HANA Migration Cockpit \u2013 Migrate Your Data. <\/strong>No separate licenses are required for the SAP Migration Cockpit, as the licenses are already part of the SAP S\/4 system. For more information on system requirements, visit the SAP Help page<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n

One more note: The “Migrate Data \u2013 Migration Cockpit” app is the successor to the “Migration Cockpit” app (transaction LTMC). SAP has discontinued the \u201cMigration Cockpit\u201d<\/strong> app (transaction LTMC), so you can no longer use it to migrate data to SAP S\/4HANA. However, you can still view all projects you created with this app. <\/p>\n\n

Configuring the Fiori Launchpad<\/h2>\n\n

For all SAP Fiori apps delivered by SAP and those you have developed yourself to meet your requirements, the SAP Launchpad serves as the central interface. It is the graphical home screen for all tiles. A tile acts as the \u201cstart button\u201d for the respective app. <\/p>\n\n

In diesem Abschnitt betrachten wir die Einrichtung des SAP Fiori Launchpad nur oberfl\u00e4chlich, weil die vollst\u00e4ndige Konfiguration sehr umfangreich ist und viele Blogbeitr\u00e4ge f\u00fcllen k\u00f6nnte. Wir konzentrieren uns hier auf die Einstellungen, die f\u00fcr die SAP Migration Cockpit Apps wichtig sind. <\/p>\n\n

If no settings have yet been configured for the Fiori Launchpad, you can generally set up the Launchpad via \u201cQuick Activation\u201d using \u201ctask lists.\u201d To configure the system, execute the following task lists in your system. Start the activation using transaction STC01. Be sure to note the respective prerequisites for each task list. If you need more information about service activation, you can find it here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n

You can apply some settings, but not others. Depending on the scenario, you may need to perform additional tasks manually in your system. For more information on which tasks require manual handling, click here<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n

Roles and Authorizations<\/h2>\n\n

SAP provides several roles to operate the SAP Migration Cockpit. You can assign these roles depending on the task. Only the SAP_BR_CONFIG_EXPERT_DATA_MIG <\/strong>role is required to view the apps in your Launchpad. The other roles are optional. <\/p>\n\n

Role<\/strong><\/td>Description \/ When is it needed?<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
SAP_BR_CONFIG_EXPERT_DATA_MIG<\/td>Required: Frontend role \u2013 without this role, the migration apps are not visible in the Launchpad<\/td><\/tr>
SAP_DMIS_MC_DT_REMOTE<\/td>Optional: Required for cross-system data migration via RFC<\/td><\/tr>
SAP_CA_DMC_MC_DEVELOPER<\/td>Optional: F\u00fcr die Entwicklung eigener Migrationsobjekte (Transaktion LTMON)<\/td><\/tr>
S_DEVLOP<\/td>Optional: Development authorization \u2013 required when developing custom source rules<\/td><\/tr>
SAP_CA_BC_MIG_ANA<\/td>Optional: Tools for data migration\/preparation and analysis of data sets in the migration context<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n

For more information on roles and authorizations<\/a>, see the SAP Help page.<\/p>\n\n

Required SAP Migration Services<\/h2>\n\n

If your system is already fully configured, after granting the authorization via the SAP_BR_CONFIG_EXPERT_DATA_MIG<\/strong> role under SAP S\/4HANA 2025 FPS1<\/strong> (current version at the time of writing this blog post), you should see the following apps in the \u201cData Migration\u201d<\/strong> catalog section of the Launchpad.<\/p>\n\n

Note: <\/strong>In this section, we focus on migrating Cockpit apps. Some of these apps also use other services (such as Search), which you must also configure. For more details on “Optional Configuration,”<\/a> see the SAP Help page. <\/p>\n\n

“Migrate your Data” App<\/h3>\n\n
\"\"
Fig. 2: Overview of the \u201cMigration Projects\u201d Application <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

The SAP Fiori Apps Reference Library<\/a> provides you with all relevant information about the app. This includes documentation, important notes, and instructions for installation and configuration. You will also find information on extension options and important support notes. We will go into more detail later regarding the information required for configuration. The procedure is similar for all three migration apps. Therefore, we will demonstrate the steps using the “Analyze Your Selection Process”<\/strong> app as an example. You can then apply these steps to the other migration apps to a large extent. <\/p>\n\n

This information includes the relevant services, roles, catalogs, mappings, and other details. To access this information, navigate to the \u201cImplementation Information\u201d<\/strong> and \u201cConfiguration\u201d<\/strong> tabs. <\/p>\n\n

    \n
  1. SAPUI5 Application: <\/strong>Ensure that the service listed here is available or activated in transaction SICF.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. OData Service: Activate this service (as well as the dependent services listed here) using transaction \/IWFND\/MAINT_SERVICE,<\/strong> provided it is an OData Service V2. For OData Service V4, transaction \/IWFND\/V4_ADMIN<\/strong> is available. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Business Role:<\/strong> Assign this role to the migration user so that the associated apps are displayed in the Launchpad.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n

    “Data Migration Status”<\/h3>\n\n

    Service Activations<\/h2>\n\n

    If one or all services are not activated, identify the relevant service in the SAP Fiori Apps Reference Library<\/a> and then activate it.<\/p>\n\n

    You will need the following transactions for the steps below. Ensure that you have the appropriate authorizations: <\/p>\n\n
