SAP MDG · COMMUNITY
How do I decide which SAP MDG guide to use for installation, upgrade, or conversion?
Use the installed software stack and target release to choose the right path: configuration for a new setup, upgrade for the same product line on a newer release, and the dedicated MDG Hub Conversion guide for ERP-based MDG moving to S/4HANA.
Use the installed software stack and target release to choose the right path: configuration for a new setup, upgrade for the same product line on a newer release, and the dedicated MDG Hub Conversion guide for ERP-based MDG moving to S/4HANA.
Use the current software components and release to decide the path first. MDG can run as a hub, co-deployed, on ERP, or in SAP S/4HANA, so the correct guide depends on what is installed and what you are moving to. For ERP-based MDG moving to S/4HANA, the source points to the dedicated MDG Hub Conversion guide, SAP Note 1685823, SAP Note 3372801, PAM, and the target-release documentation.
Process flow
- Check the current ERP-based MDG release and Support Package.
- Check the installed software components in System -> Status -> Component.
- Use S4CORE 101+ to identify an S/4HANA-based system.
- Use SAP_APPL or S4CORE 100 to identify an ERP/add-on-based system.
- For new setup, select the exact release-specific configuration guide and review installation/configuration notes.
- For same-product-line upgrades, check PAM, target RIN, Maintenance Planner, and the upgrade guide.
- For ERP-based MDG moving to S/4HANA, use the dedicated MDG Hub Conversion guide.
- Review SAP Note 1685823 and SAP Note 3372801 for release strategy and upgrade/conversion guidance.
