Can someone please provide direction regarding the migration / upgrade path for our BPC content. I’ve included information, below, regarding
our current environments. We are planning to upgrade the existing BW on HANA environment (already has BPC 10.0 components) to BW 7.4 and BPC 10.1.
The question is this – it seems there are two paths to consider, and I am not sure if one way is better than another. I will refrain from commentary to keep from biasing your response.
Do we migrate our existing content from the BPC Prod on BW instance to the existing BW on HANA instance and then perform the upgrade or is it better to perform the upgrade on the BW on HANA instance and then migrate the BPC Prod content over to the upgraded BW on HANA instance?
What would be your reason for one approach over the other?
Is there a different approach we should consider?
All of this is an effort to get us to BPC 10.1 on BW 7.4 on HANA for the purposes of doing Embedded modeling as well as Standard modeling.
BCP 100 – current SAP BPC PROD on stand-alone BW instance on SQL:
Currently, all of our BPC content is Standard, which is likely obvious given the version of BPC. There are some connections to the separate BW
landscape for master data, etc. Most of the content is related to consolidations, although there is some non-consolidations content as well (minimal), in case that matters.
Current BWP instance with BW on HANA (including BPC 10.0 components):
This is the versioning we will be upgrade the existing BW on HANA landscape to as well as what we will ultimately be migrating the separate BPC on BW content into:

Your help is greatly appreciated! Let me know what else you need from me to provide better feedback.
