The imparted knowledge can be adopted from SAP NetWeaver 7.0 till SAP NetWeaver 7.4 based Systems.
A database migration will be demonstrated during the course.
Working in groups of two, participants will migrate both an ABAP and a Java NetWeaver
system.
The migration of SAP systems generally requires additional system- specific knowledge that is not part of this course.
