Executing a System Conversion: Maintenance Planner, SUM and Follow-Up
Walks through executing a system conversion to SAP S/4HANA 2025: the technical and application prerequisites and the SI-Check, planning the target stack with Maintenance Planner, the Software Update Manager run with DMO where needed, the follow-up runbook after SUM (custom code, silent data migration, output control, roles), and the technical acceptance and smoke test that hand a converted system to functional testing. Uses Contoso's measured mock runtimes throughout. Built for Basis administrators, solution architects and test leads at Professional level, with a 15-question quiz.
