HANA to HANA Cloud Migration

As of 2026-05-29

HANA to HANA Cloud = re-platforming, not lift-and-shift. Three paths: DMO (application DBs < 10 TB), Self-Service Migration (standalone HANA < 5 TB), Tenant Database Copy (large/staged). Five compatibility issues every engagement hits: deprecated SQL, missing SYS views, NSE column-store behaviour, removed ABAP dictionary tables, multi-tenant re-architecture. Sizing: ≥ 64 GB for Datasphere-connected production. Post-migration: re-point every Datasphere connection and validate all views before cutover.
