ABAP Cloud Migration Patterns
Guide for systematically migrating classic ABAP custom code to ABAP Cloud (Tier 1) compliance.
Workflow
Assess current state: Run ATC Cloud Readiness checks on existing code
Categorize findings: Group by finding type (unreleased API, language construct, etc.)
Plan migration: Prioritize by impact and determine replacement strategy
Implement replacements: Apply released API replacements or create wrappers
Validate: Re-run ATC checks and test functionality
Migration Assessment
Running ATC Cloud Readiness Checks
In ADT: Right-click package → Run As → ABAP Test Cockpit
Use check variant ABAP_CLOUD_READINESS or a custom variant with cloud-relevant checks
Review findings in the ATC Results view
Key ATC Check Messages
Message ID
Description
Action
NROB
Use of unreleased number range API
Use CL_NUMBERRANGE_RUNTIME
BAPI
Direct BAPI call
Use released RAP API or wrapper
DYNP
Dynpro/screen usage
Replace with Fiori/UI5
FUGR
Unreleased function module call
Find released replacement or wrap
CLAS
Unreleased class usage
Find released replacement or wrap
TABL
Direct DB table access (not released)
Use released CDS view entity
LANG
Incompatible language construct
Refactor to use modern ABAP
Common API Replacements
Database Access
Classic Pattern

Wrapper Pattern
When no released API exists, create a wrapper class in Tier 2 (classic ABAP) and release it for Tier 1 consumption.
Step 1: Create Wrapper Interface (Tier 2, released for Cloud)
"Released for use in ABAP Cloud (C1 contract)
INTERFACE zif_text_handler
PUBLIC.
METHODS read_text
IMPORTING iv_id TYPE thead-tdid
iv_name TYPE thead-tdname
iv_object TYPE thead-tdobject
iv_language TYPE sy-langu DEFAULT sy-langu
RETURNING VALUE(rt_text) TYPE tline_tab
RAISING zcx_text_error.
METHODS save_text
IMPORTING iv_id TYPE thead-tdid
iv_name TYPE thead-tdname
iv_object TYPE thead-tdobject
iv_language TYPE sy-langu DEFAULT sy-langu
it_text TYPE tline_tab
RAISING zcx_text_error.
ENDINTERFACE.
Step 2: Create Wrapper Class (Tier 2, released for Cloud)
"Implementation uses unreleased FMs internally
"Released for use in ABAP Cloud (C1 contract)
CLASS zcl_text_handler DEFINITION
PUBLIC FINAL CREATE PUBLIC.
PUBLIC SECTION.
INTERFACES zif_text_handler.
ENDCLASS.
CLASS zcl_text_handler IMPLEMENTATION.
METHOD zif_text_handler~read_text.
"Uses unreleased FM internally — OK in Tier 2
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
EXPORTING
id = iv_id
name = iv_name
object = iv_object
language = iv_language
TABLES
lines = rt_text
EXCEPTIONS
OTHERS = 1.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
RAISE EXCEPTION TYPE zcx_text_error.
ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.
METHOD zif_text_handler~save_text.
DATA ls_header TYPE thead.
ls_header-tdid = iv_id.
ls_header-tdname = iv_name.
ls_header-tdobject = iv_object.
ls_header-tdspras = iv_language.
CALL FUNCTION 'SAVE_TEXT'
EXPORTING header = ls_header
TABLES lines = it_text
EXCEPTIONS OTHERS = 1.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
RAISE EXCEPTION TYPE zcx_text_error.
ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.
ENDCLASS.
Classic Report → Application Job class + CDS view + Fiori app
1. Extract data logic → CDS view entities
2. Extract business logic → ABAP Cloud class
3. Create Application Job catalog entry (CL_APJ_DT_CREATE_CONTENT)
4. Schedule via Fiori app "Application Jobs"
Dynpro Transactions
Dynpro Transaction → RAP BO + Fiori Elements app
1. Identify CRUD operations → RAP behavior definition
2. Map screen fields → CDS view entity
3. Create service definition/binding
4. Generate Fiori Elements app
BAPIs
BAPI → RAP BO with custom actions
1. Map BAPI parameters → CDS abstract entities
2. Implement as RAP actions or factory actions
3. Expose via OData service binding
RFC Function Modules
RFC FM → Released API class or RAP service
1. If simple logic → Released ABAP class
2. If CRUD → RAP BO with service binding
3. If complex → Wrapper class (Tier 2)
Finding Released Replacements
In ADT
Released Object Search: Ctrl+Shift+A → Filter by "Released" APIs
API State Filter: In Project Explorer, filter by C1 release state
ABAP Element Info: Hover over unreleased object → see suggestion if available
Using the Released Objects App
Fiori app Released Objects (F5865):
Search by classic object name
Filter by release state (C1, C2)
View successor information
Programmatic Check
"Check if an object is released for ABAP Cloud
SELECT SINGLE *
FROM i_apistateofrepositoryobject
WHERE ObjectType = 'CLAS'
AND ObjectName = 'CL_NUMBERRANGE_RUNTIME'
AND ReleaseState = 'RELEASED'
INTO @DATA(ls_state).
Step-by-Step Migration Checklist
Run ATC Cloud Readiness check on the package/objects
Export findings and categorize by type
For each unreleased API usage:
Search for released replacement (CDS view I_ApiStateOfRepositoryObject)
If found: replace directly
If not found: create Tier 2 wrapper
For each incompatible language construct:
Refactor to cloud-compatible alternative
For Dynpro/ALV/list-based UIs:
Plan Fiori replacement (separate project)
Move migrated objects to ABAP Cloud language version package
Re-run ATC checks — all findings must be resolved
Execute regression tests
Output Format
