1 Introduction
After you did the system conversion to SAP S/4HANA with Software Update Manager (SUM) we recommend to run ATC
with SAP HANA and SAP S/4HANA checks. After that you need to carry out functional adaptation based on the ATC results.

In this step you need to fix SAP HANA and SAP S/4HANA findings. Adapt your custom ABAP code, using the findings of
the SAP HANA and SAP S/4HANA checks (ATC results). Findings of SAP S/4HANA checks are related to S/4HANA
Simplifications. Each simplification requires a different approach to solve findings. Therefore, findings of SAP S/4HANA
checks refer to a SAP Note which describes how you can solve them.

3 Local checks using ABAP Test Cockpit (ATC)
To check for ATC findings in the converted system, you need to configure a local ATC run series that checks the
requested development objects.

3.1 Remove ATC inconsistencies

1. Go to transaction SA38 and execute the report SATC_CORRECT_INCONSISTENT_IX

2. The report does not provide any output hence if you don’t see any result but just a redirect to the same screen
from which you executed the program it means everything was executed successfully,

3.2 Import the simplification database

To check your custom code against the SAP S/4HANA simplifications, you need to import the Simplification Database
into the Central Check System.

1. Open the SAP Support Launchpad with the following URL

https://launchpad.support.sap.com/#/softwarecenter/search/CCMSIDB

2. Download the latest version of Simplification Database form the result.

3. Transfer the file to the terminal server.

NOTE: In case you are not authorized to download the file from the SAP Download Center you can find a recent
version of the Simplification Database in the Terminal Server (10.0.0.41) located in the folder
„C:\temp\10Steps2S4“ and named „ CCMSIDB00P_17-80001018.zip“.

4. In your converted system (K<XX> where XX is your group number) call transaction “SYCM”
5. In the menu select the option More → Simplification Database → Import ZIP File

6. Choose the ZIP file downloaded previously and confirm

7. Confirm and accept the warning to access to the file.

10Steps2S4 – Installed Base Conversion P age |5

 8. Wait the program to complete and check the successful execution.

NOTE: The import may take up to 40 minutes.

9. To check the import, go back to main screen of transaction SYCM and in menu Simplification
Database and select option Show Overview
10. In the overview screen you can select multiple items and press Show items for selection to see the
associated objects.

3.3 System role

1. Run transaction ATC.

2. On the left menu select the option System Role.
3. Check that the option Local ATC Checks Only.
4. If not change the configuration to the option Local ATC Checks Only and save.

3.4 Fix error “CCA is not filled yet”

This step is required to resolve an error shown in transaction ATC and related to a bug.
Note 3242711 - ST-PI SP20 Corrections: ATC and Custom Code Cluster Service provides more information.

1. Call transaction SNOTE

2. Download and implement SAP Note 3242711

3. When required provide a new Transport Request to include the note implementation
4. Confirm the successful note implementation

3.5 Configuring and scheduling Local ATC Run Series

Now that the Simplification Database is updated you can proceed by creating a new local series in ATC.

1. Run transaction ATC.

2. In the navigation pane, expand the nodes ATC Administration → Runs and double-click the Schedule Runs
entry. The screen that appears displays a list of existing run series.
3. Choose the Create button in the toolbar.
4. Enter a name for the new series and confirm.
5. Specify the following entries for the new run series:

6. Save the configuration.

7. In the list of run series, select the run series in question and click the Schedule button in the toolbar.
8. In the dialog that appears, choose Set to Active Result.
9. Adapt the settings for the Life Span of the series and for Execution to your needs. Otherwise, leave these
settings unchanged.
10. Choose Execute in Background (F9) to schedule the run series and choose “Immediate” in the schedule.

3.6 Check the result

Now that the analysis has been executed successfully, we can check the result from ABAP Test Cockpit.

1. Call transaction ATC

2. Select “Monitor and Control runs” and wait until your planned run is set to State: Completed

3. Select your run from the list and press the button
4. Now we have access to the results. Here you can check the different object in detail by double-clicking in the
entries. In the details you can also see the note number containing information about the type of fix
potentially required.

5. Select all objects and then press the button (Change Contact Person) and insert your username in the
resulting pop-up (e.g. 10STEPS2S4). This will assign all these results to your user for further analysis and
resolution. You can use this functionality to organize the work in a project and assign different objects or
categories to different developers.

 6. If you click the button “Statistics View” you will get access to a summary of the resulted items organized by the
different category checks.

7. If you expand the different categories, you can see the single checks and double clicking on it you have the list
of objects containing the potential issue.

8. If you now click on the object name you will be redirected to the source code where you will be able to see the
code directly with the relevant instructions highlighted.

9. Now you can continue the analysis by selecting the different objects listed and verifying what is the impact and
the required fix.

4 Custom Code adaptation
In this exercise, you’ll
• Use ATC in ABAP Development Tools for Eclipse
• Check your custom programs for SAP S/4HANA readiness with ATC
Work with your ATC results and fix the ATC findings one by one.

4.1 Connect to ADT and access the result

1. Double click on the Eclipse icon

on the desktop to launch the
ABAP Development tools for
Eclipse
➔ If not defined, select a
dedicated workspace. (e.g.
C:\temp\10Steps2S4\WSxx)

choose Perspective, Open
Perspective, and then other..

3. Select ABAP and confirm with

Open.

4. Close the Welcome screen to

see the new perspective with all
the relevant sections.
