Migration playbook

Migrating SAP PO to Cloud Integration: a practical runway

A pragmatic plan for the SAP PO 7.5 to Integration Suite (Cloud Integration) move. What to wave, what to rebuild, what to retire entirely, and the order that actually works on a real client landscape.

SAP PO mainstream maintenance is closing in, and every client we work with is at some point on the runway. The PO-to-Cloud Integration migration is the named migration play in our practice. We have done enough of them to have a strong opinion about the order.

The order that works

Inventory and triage. Every iFlow gets one of three tags: wave (port mechanically), rebuild (the design no longer suits cloud), retire (the consumer is dead). Triage by business owner, not by IT.
Stand up Integration Suite in parallel. PO keeps running. New iFlows go to Integration Suite from day one - no exceptions.
Wave the high-traffic, low-risk ones first. They prove the operating model.
Rebuild the design-flawed ones. Take the opportunity to fix what was wrong.
Retire the orphans. They will never be missed.

What kills a runway

Trying to lift-and-shift the PO operations model. Cloud Integration's monitoring and DLQ patterns are different - design for them.
Custom adapter modules in PO that have no Cloud Integration equivalent. Identify these early - the workaround is either custom adapter development on BTP or a redesign of the contract.
BPM and ccBPM. Cloud Integration is not a BPM engine - if you have BPM workflows, plan a separate migration to Build Process Automation.
