SAP offers for the execution of the conversion on the db as well as for the related archives the Landscape Transformation Tool (LT Tool). There are a lot of kind of conversions possible. Some examples are Company Code splits, Controlling area merges or also renaming of supplier numbers for example. In this blog we are going to focus on the archive conversion which will in most cases take place after the database conversion has already been conducted successful. The advantage is that the mapping of the db conversion can be taken over for the archive conversion as well. To start with the archive conversion you need to call the process monitor for the merge package. This is done via Transaction code CNV_MBT_SLOP There you start with selecting your relevant project, subproject and package After selecting the relevant projects and packages you will reach to the process monitor. All the steps which are relevant for the archive conversion are listed at the chapter “follow-up processing” Initially you do have to active the follow-up phase to start of your archive conversion project. Activation of Follow-Up Phases: Activate the Follow Up package by using transaction CNV_AKTP and select U for Follow-up processing Execute report “CNV_MBT_CWB_ACTIVATE_FOLLOWUP” via transaction SE38: After a successful activation, following points will be shown in the LT monitor (TA: CNV_MBT_SLOP) in the section of the follow up processing 1. Preparational Steps Access TA CNV_MBT_SLOP Select from the project folder the package by doubleclicking For the archive conversion only following steps will be relevant You have to execute step by step 2. Maintain archiving session for conversion: Choose in the pop up The selected archiving run (you can select also more than one) will be displayed on the top with status “green”. Just use the back button to leave the selection screen If you have selected the wrong archiving run, you can deselect it in the same way, just by choosing the option “Archive is not relevant” and it will be removed from the runs which need to be converted. 3.
