System Conversion Approach via Step “SAP BW simplified Edition for SAP HANA”
The effort for the system conversion is largely proportional to the duration since the last major system update, the number of classical data models, and the amount of actively used custom coding.

 Modeling in the Data Warehousing Workbench (SAPGUI) is replaced by modeling in the BW Modeling tools in Eclipse .
 The BW modeling tools have been adapted to the SAP HANA modeling environment. The BW objects recommended for use with
SAP HANA are modeled exclusively in the BW modeling tools. For the time being however, a small number of objects, such as the
DataSource, still have to be maintained in the Data Warehousing Workbench. Administrative tasks are still performed in the Data
Warehousing Workbench. More information: Tool Overview
 Certain object types are not supported any more. These are replaced by objects types that are especially primed for use on the SAP
HANA database. It is not possible to create objects in the Data Warehousing Workbench in the SAGGUI if their object types are not supported any more. More information: Unsupported Object Types in SAP BW, Edition for SAP HANA

The SAP Business Explorer (BEx) are not supported any more. Queries are now defined in SAP BW, Edition for SAP HANA in the
BW Modeling tools. For the visualization and analysis of data, you can use state of the art SAP BusinessObjects tools, such as SAP
BusinessObjects Analysis, Edition for Microsoft Office or SAP BusinessObjects Design Studio . These tools are especially designed with the needs of BW users in mind.
 With the enablement of the AddOn 1.0 the system is transferred into the “Compability Mode” to allow the transition to the new objects.
Once this temporary period is over the system can be switched from “Compatibility Mode” to “Operation in B4H Mode”.
If it turns out that the system cannot accommodate B4H mode at present, you can switch back to “Compatibility Mode” at any time.
