Data Migration to SAP S/4HANA from Staging

SAP S/4HANA customers can take advantage of the migration from the staging approach built into SAP S/4HANA using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit together with a set of predefined data migration objects.

With the Local SAP S/4HANA Database Schema option, the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit generates the staging tables in the local ABAP schema of the SAP S/4HANA system.

With the Remote SAP HANA Database Schema option, you must specify a relevant connection to a remote SAP HANA system. The SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit then generates the staging tables there.

If a customer wants to fill the staging tables with data with their preferred tools, they should select the Remote SAP HANA Database option, then enter a valid database connection to the staging system or choose one from the search help list.
