Options

• ACustom code analysis
• BSoftware update
• CUnicode conversion
• DDatabase migration

  7% (2)
• B
  89% (25)
• C
  4% (1)

Explanation

SUM (Software Update Manager) performs the software update (B) - upgrading the technical stack and application to S/4HANA - and, via its built-in Database Migration Option (DMO), handles database migration (D) to SAP HANA, often combining both steps into a single run. These two functions are SUM's core responsibilities during an S/4HANA conversion.

Custom code analysis (A) is incorrect because that task belongs to separate tools like the ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC), the Custom Code Migration app, or SAP Readiness Check - not SUM. Unicode conversion (C) is incorrect in this context; while SUM could handle Unicode conversion in older combined upgrade scenarios, it is not a step performed during an S/4HANA conversion specifically.

Memory tip: Think of SUM's name - Software Update Manager. It updates Software (B) and, with its DMO add-on, migrates the Database (D). Everything else (code checks, encoding) is handled by other tools outside SUM.
