HANEYA ® Zero Down Time Solution

HANEYA ® Zero Down Time (ZDT) Solution

HANEYA® automates Zero DOWN Time process for the current Production system while HANA migration is taking place using its B&R process. In HANEYA® approach, Production build in HANA will occur prior to the cutover weekend at least 1 month in advance for cutover simulation and data loads. Initially, we start with building Pre-Prod system using HANEYA B&R process, conduct the business simulation, and execute HANEYA remediations for all Data. Then, business can “Go-Live” with pre-production or a copy of Pre-prod in another instance of Production system. There will be a black out period between Pre production system set up and the Production “Go-Live”. Blackout period will start on the day we take copy of current Production into HANA landscape. Master Data and Process Configuration Changes will be frozen till we “Go-Live”. In addition, HANEYA has a built-in risk-mitigation should the S/4 HANA migration experience issues. It will bring ECC or the respective Source system back “live” and conduct the business-as-usual till the issue is resolved.
With the above approach, there is NO impact to Production, and NO downtime. “Go-Live” of HANA Production occurs while the business community is online and ruining their day in life as usual. On the cutover day, they will switch over to the new system with the new pointers, and start using the New system with the required access provisioning for conducting business transactions. On the day of Cutover, Business teams will be conducting business cutover activities and ensure there are checks and balances between existing ECC environment and new S/4 HANA landscape. There will be business simulations and zero impact transactions and “Go-Live”. The archiving and deletion of data need to be done in HANA production system synchronizing the job schedules with the legacy production environment, so HANA Production is in synch with N Production deletions.

Value Proposition

HANEYA cuts your Migration Effort, Time and Cost by 60% using Zero Down Time Solution. HANEYA automates Delta transaction loads, Verifications and Mapping, and provides risk mitigation should the S/4 HANA system ”Go-Live” be disrupted. It further facilitates Business Data Verifications and Validations during the cutover period. It helps with defining the pointers and interfaces to new HANA Production system. Further, it serves as a good tool for landscape transformation during acquisitions and mergers for data carve outs and data extractions.

HANEYA Solution (ZDT) – HANEYA B&R™ Process:

We build the HANA landscape from the current Production Backup copy, so there is no disruption to the Production environment. With HANEYA approach, we use HANEYA B&R™ process to the new HANA landscape with Production system running the business as usual till the “Go-Live” with new S/4 HANA system:

  • Ehp to S/4 HANA: The HANEYA B&R™ copy will be utilized for Custom Programs remediations, Master Data Remediations, Security Roles Updates, and Process Configurations in Dev environment.
  • HANEYA B&R process will be executed for any delta changes during QA / Testing stage, to catch any deltas changes till the QA stage
  • Any delta changes till Preprod will be extracted and tested in QA and remediated in the Pre-Production Environment.
  • Preproduction can become the Production environment for Go-live

The SAP transformation is executed in two steps. Step 1 converts AIX to Linux, Oracle to HANA, and EHP4 to EHP8 across DEV, QA, and Production using Haneya® for Unicode conversion, custom code remediation, SPAU/SPDD, HANA compatibility, and delta synchronization. Step 2 migrates EHP8/HANA to S/4HANA using DMO/SUM and Haneya-enabled Zero Downtime, automating code, security roles, master data, and process configurations. Multiple dry runs validate data mapping and transformation, while Haneya synchronizes transactional deltas through go-live, enabling final data conversion with minimal disruption and no downtime during delta loads.
