Assessment report
SAP PI/PO Migration Readiness Assessment Report
Not just a high-level object count. The report gives a structured view of PI/PO interfaces, routing, adapters, mappings, ESR objects, payload structures, readiness indicators, and review gaps for SAP Integration Suite / SAP Cloud Integration (CPI) migration planning. It helps the team see what is known, what is missing, and what needs discussion before migration decisions are made.
What it answers
The report helps answer the questions that decide migration effort.
What is risky?
Java/custom mapping, unsupported adapters, module chains, missing structures, conditional routing, and unclear configuration.
What can repeat?
Technical patterns that appear repeatedly across interfaces and may deserve a consistent migration approach later.
What needs discussion?
Manual-review backlog, missing facts, business-clarification items, and inputs needed before roadmap decisions.
Assessment method
From available PI/PO information to reviewable migration facts.
This report focuses on collecting available PI/PO and ESR information, preparing it for review, and producing structured Excel and technical report outputs. It does not require generated iFlows, tenant changes, configuration updates, test execution, or Partner Directory changes.
Collect available information
Gather PI/PO interface and configuration details, runtime channel status where useful, and ESR assets such as operation mappings, message mappings, WSDLs, RFC structures, IDoc structures, external definitions, and function libraries where available.
Prepare technical assets
Prepare ESR mappings, WSDLs, and function-library assets so available mapping and structure information can be reflected in the report.
Produce assessment outputs
Create consolidated assessment views and Excel outputs covering interface details, mapping readiness, adapter visibility, structure availability, and review gaps.
Report contents
What the assessment report can cover.
The report starts with the migration view that stakeholders need, then keeps the supporting technical facts available for review instead of hiding them in raw exports.
R1 Executive Migration SummaryScope, risk indicators, readiness, and open decision areas.
Pain solved
Managers cannot discuss budget, timeline, or migration approach from raw PI/PO exports alone.
Benefit gained
Stakeholders get a concise view of landscape size, risk indicators, readiness gaps, and decision areas.
| Summary item | Example detail | Decision supported |
|---|---|---|
| Total interface count | ICO, classic, active/inactive, sender/receiver split | Initial scope and sizing |
| Risk indicators | Low/medium/high signals, manual review, redesign discussion candidate | Planning discussion input |
| Readiness view | Adapter ready, mapping ready, structure ready, pending gaps | Build and review sequencing |
| Open decision areas | Business owner needed, mapping review needed, adapter design needed | Stakeholder alignment |
R2 Interface Inventory And Routing DetailWho sends, who receives, how routing behaves.
Pain solved
Interface lists often miss routing complexity, receiver count, conditions, and sender/receiver interface context.
Benefit gained
The team can separate simple one-to-one flows from conditional, multi-receiver, or redesign-prone flows.
| Field group | Typical fields | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Sender context | Sender party, sender component, sender interface, namespace | Defines trigger and naming baseline |
| Receiver context | Receiver party, receiver component, receiver interface, receiver count | Shows routing complexity |
| Routing logic | Receiver condition, interface condition, operation mapping sequence | Flags Partner Directory or XSLT candidates |
| Runtime shape | QoS, synchronous/asynchronous indicator, interface index | Supports template grouping |
ICOClassicRoutingReceiver determination
R3 Adapter, Channel, Endpoint And Module AnalysisConnectivity facts and migration configuration risk.
Pain solved
Endpoint, authentication, adapter modules, and protocol differences are often discovered too late.
Benefit gained
Adapter coverage, configuration gaps, and environment-specific values become visible before build pressure starts.
| Field group | Typical fields | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Adapter profile | Direction, adapter type, transport protocol, message protocol | Maps PI/PO behavior to CI adapter design |
| Endpoint values | Host, port, path, URL, directory, filename, queue/topic | Highlights environment values needing review |
| Security indicators | Authentication method, credential alias, key/certificate references | Prevents unsafe credential assumptions |
| Module chain | Module names, parameters, sequence, custom module indicator | Flags manual redesign or template extension |
R4 Mapping And ESR ReadinessOperation mappings, message mappings, XSLT, Java, function libraries, and WSDL context.
Pain solved
Mapping effort is underestimated when the team only sees interface names or high-level object counts.
Benefit gained
Mapping chains, available artifacts, missing artifacts, Java/custom review points, and function-library dependencies are visible earlier.
| Field group | Typical fields | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Operation mapping | OM name, namespace, SWCV, request/response direction, sequence | Shows transformation path |
| Mapping artifact | Message mapping, XSLT, Java mapping indicator, imported status | Separates usable assets from manual conversion |
| Function library | Library references, used functions, source availability | Flags UDF/function migration effort |
| Structure links | Source WSDL, target WSDL, IDoc/RFC/external definition availability | Supports mapping validation and review |
R5 Payload Structure And Test Support ReadinessWSDL, IDoc, RFC, external definition, and payload sample support.
Pain solved
Teams start testing without knowing whether message structures and representative payloads are available.
Benefit gained
Testing and mapping review can be planned around available structures, missing structures, and useful sample payloads.
| Field group | Typical fields | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Structure source | Service interface WSDL, RFC WSDL, IDoc WSDL, external definition | Shows what can support payload validation |
| Mapping links | Source message, target message, namespace, software component | Confirms whether mapping context is traceable |
| Payload support | Message samples and payload index where available | Improves sample-based review and test planning |
R6 Repeatable Pattern IndicatorsWhich interface shapes appear suitable for consistent handling later.
Pain solved
Teams treat all interfaces as equal even when some share repeated technical shapes and others clearly need review.
Benefit gained
Repeated patterns are visible without claiming the assessment has already generated or approved migration designs.
| Pattern type | Typical fields | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Request-response shape | Sender interface, receiver interface, QoS, adapter pair, mapping status | Shows repeated synchronous patterns |
| Inbound-processing shape | Sender adapter, sender interface, receiver grouping, mapping usage | Shows repeated inbound patterns |
| Outbound-processing shape | Receiver component, interface index, routing shape, mapping sequence | Shows repeated outbound patterns |
| Manual review | Adapter gap, mapping gap, custom module, conditional route | Prevents false automation confidence |
R7 Risk, Gap, And Manual Review BacklogThe list that prevents hidden work from appearing late.
Pain solved
Migration plans fail when missing mappings, adapter gaps, security values, and custom logic are not tracked explicitly.
Benefit gained
The team gets a factual backlog of review items that can be discussed, owned, prioritized, and resolved later.
| Risk type | Example indicators | Action |
|---|---|---|
| Mapping | Missing mapping artifact, Java mapping, XSLT review, RFC lookup | Technical review or manual conversion |
| Adapter | Unsupported adapter, custom module, missing template overlay | Design decision or template work |
| Configuration | Credential alias, endpoint, certificate, environment value | Configuration workbook/review |
| Business | Inactive flow, unknown owner, obsolete receiver | Retire, clarify, or postpone |
R8 Planning Inputs For Workshop DiscussionFacts that support roadmap discussion, without pretending to decide the roadmap alone.
Pain solved
Planning discussions become subjective when technical facts, missing inputs, and business decisions are mixed together.
Benefit gained
The report separates factual migration inputs from client-specific decisions that need stakeholder discussion.
| Input type | Example facts | Used later for |
|---|---|---|
| Technical pattern | Similar sender/receiver shape, same adapter family, repeated mapping pattern | Template discussion |
| Readiness signal | Adapter available, mapping available, structure linked, gaps present | Roadmap discussion |
| Clarification need | Unknown owner, inactive flow, obsolete receiver, unclear endpoint | Business follow-up |
What makes it different
The report is not meant to hide complexity. It is meant to expose it usefully.
- Summary views for management and field-level views for technical review.
- Clear separation between ready, pending, missing, and manual-review items.
- Traceability from PI/PO source details to assessment findings.
- POMigrate workbench support for PO, ESR, and mapping reporting where project data is available.
