The SAP S/4HANA Conversion and System Upgrade ADM328 Training course is designed for SAP Basis professionals and consultants who want to master system conversion and upgrade processes in SAP landscapes. This course provides a structured, hands-on approach to converting existing SAP ERP systems into SAP S/4HANA using industry-standard tools and methodologies.
The training begins with an introduction to SAP system architecture and S/4HANA conversion concepts, helping learners understand the technical foundation required for system upgrades. You will explore the Maintenance Planner and SAP Solution Manager to plan system changes and assess system readiness before conversion .
A major focus of the course is on the Software Update Manager (SUM), where you will learn manual preparation steps, configuration, execution phases, and troubleshooting techniques. You will also work with Database Migration Option (DMO), enabling combined system upgrade and database migration to SAP HANA.
The course dives deep into modification adjustment processes (SPAU/SPDD), downtime management strategies, and near Zero Downtime Maintenance (nZDM) capabilities to minimize business disruption. You will also learn about system landscape transformation, Unicode conversion, and activating business functions in S/4HANA environments.
Additionally, the course includes extensive hands-on exercises, covering real-time scenarios such as SUM roadmap steps, transport handling, SAP Host Agent configuration, and system validation after conversion. Post-conversion activities and system optimization are also covered to ensure a smooth transition.
By the end of this course, you will be able to plan, execute, monitor, and optimize SAP S/4HANA system conversions and upgrades confidently in real-world projects.
