ABAP Cloud Migration Patterns

Guide for systematically migrating classic ABAP custom code to ABAP Cloud (Tier 1) compliance.

Workflow

1. Assess current state: Run ATC Cloud Readiness checks on existing code
2. Categorize findings: Group by finding type (unreleased API, language construct, etc.)
3. Plan migration: Prioritize by impact and determine replacement strategy
4. Implement replacements: Apply released API replacements or create wrappers
5. Validate: Re-run ATC checks and test functionality

Migration Assessment

Running ATC Cloud Readiness Checks

1. In ADT: Right-click package → Run As → ABAP Test Cockpit
2. Use check variant ABAP_CLOUD_READINESS or a custom variant with cloud-relevant checks
3. Review findings in the ATC Results view
