You are running an SAP ECC system with SAP_BASIS 740, non-Unicode on SAP MaxDB. Which of the following are possible paths to perform an SAP S/4HANA conversion? Note: There are 3 correct answe rs to…

Question

Options

• ASAP S/4HANA conversion including database migration and Unicode conversion
• BUnicode conversion SAP S/4HANA conversion including database migration
• CUnicode conversion Upgrade to SAP ECC with SAP_BASIS 750 including database migration
• DUnicode conversion Database migration SAP S/4HANA conversion without database migration

• A
  29% (14)
• B
  71% (34)

Explanation

B, C, and D are correct because SAP S/4HANA has two hard prerequisites when starting from a non-Unicode, non-HANA system: the Unicode conversion must be a separate, prior step (SAP does not support combining it with the S/4HANA conversion itself), and the database must be on HANA at the point of conversion. Options B, C, and D all respect this order - they each begin with Unicode conversion and then migrate to HANA either before or during the S/4HANA conversion step.

Option A is the distractor. It implies performing Unicode conversion and database migration as part of the S/4HANA conversion simultaneously - SAP explicitly prohibits this; Unicode conversion must be completed as its own separate project before the S/4HANA conversion begins.

Memory tip: Think of it as "clean before you convert." Your system must be Unicode-clean and (optionally) HANA-ready before the S/4HANA conversion touches it. Any path that buries the Unicode conversion inside the S/4HANA step is invalid - that's the trap in option A.
