Welcome to Syniti Migrate
Syniti Migrate is a web-based accelerator tool that provides an improved solution to data migration processes of legacy system data. The software enables efficient steps to address the multiple challenges between conventional technical tool sets and business visibility. One vital outcome is an increased consumer trust in data and reports, and an improved ability to accurately analyze immediate impact on the inevitable migration changes.
Through a simple user interface, Syniti Migrate allows for organizing project-related data objects, identifying data relevancy and mapping legacy data conversion objects to the desired future system. This solution provides the ability to define systems, data tables, reports and their underlying attributes.

Syniti Migrate Architecture
Syniti Migrate is designed to work with virtually any legacy data source, providing native support for Microsoft SQL Server and nearly any disparate database or file system through Microsoft or vendor-supplied OLE, ODBC drivers and REST Web Services. Syniti Migrate’s user interface employs a state-of-the-art user experience executed within the Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS) extensible web server engine.
For its underlying database, Syniti Migrate necessitates at least SQL Server 2019. This requirement ensures access to vital configuration and migration project-related registration data. This data is essential as it defines the project scope and ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) objects, with associated metadata.
Syniti Migrate also allows you to set up and work in multiple execution environments using the same production code. Refer to Working in Multiple Execution Environments for more information on how to plan for multiple execution environments and how data moves through environments in Migrate.
Refer to Syniti Support for article [SAP ADMM] Hybrid Deployment Requirements for details of sizing for a migration project.
Working Databases in Migrate
A database instance to host the Migrate Working Databases, where customer data that is to be processed is persisted. The following three database technologies are currently supported for the Working Database Environment:
Microsoft SQL Server 2019 or later
100+ GB hard drive space
8 - 16 available processing cores
32 - 64GB memory
Oracle Release 12.2 or later
100+ GB hard drive space
8 - 16 available processing cores
32 - 64GB memory
SAP HANA
RAM = (size of uncompressed business data / compression factor) x 2
Compression factor varies based on actual data; 2 - low, 4 - medium, 8 - high
For example, 100GB of business data using a medium compression factor is (100 / 4) x 2 = 50GB. On SAP HANA Cloud this would require an instance of 60GB as RAM is allocated in 15GB blocks. CPU and disk sizing is determined automatically from the RAM size.
Initial Setup and Configuration
Connecting to Syniti Migrate
Syniti Migrate runs as a website on Syniti's network. Authorized users have access to a Tenant, accessed remotely from a VPN connection. The client supports the server that extracts, translates, and stores tables and rows of data from legacy systems. The system requires installation of Microsoft IIS (Internet Information Services) and a supported, standard web browser such as Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.
The user is assigned a Tenant that includes access to the Syniti Migrate application, and they are provided a logon by the Syniti Cloud Ops team to the Knowledge Platform. Once they log into the Knowledge Platform system, their logon is activated. When a user selects to access Syniti Migrate for the first time, their account is created based upon the access they received from Knowledge Platform. Refer to section About Role Management for details of the relationship between Syniti Knowledge Platform security roles and Syniti Migrate security roles.
Refer to section - Initial Setup - First week for more detailed sequencing of steps for the setup of a basic project including Database setup, Connections, Snapshot Management, and Project Setup.
Should there be a need for Support on this system refer to section Contact Support for details.
