Using the Custom Code Migration Worklist

The Custom Code Migration Worklist shows customer objects that refer to SAP objects and have been changed in the SAP product you want to convert to. Information about these changes is provided in the so-called Simplification Database. For each worklist entry, the Simplification Database provides a SAP Note with information on what has been changed and how your custom code needs to be adapted.

Prerequisites

You have imported the Simplification Database and the Custom Code Analysis Result into the evaluation system.

Context

You want to analyze the impact of simplifications on your custom code.

Procedure

  1. In the evaluation system, run the transaction SYCM.

    The Display customer objects affected by simplifications screen is opened.

  2. In the SAP System ID field, choose F4 to select the analyzed SAP Business Suite system from the value help.

    The Extraction Name that you chose when you imported the Custom Code Analysis Result is added automatically.

  3. [Optional:] Define additional selection criteria, such as the Customer Package or the Simplification Item Category.
  4. Choose F8 to show the Custom Code Migration Worklist for the selected SAP Business Suite system.
