Report Explanation
1. Overview of active SAP BW Objects
The Object Overview check scans your complete SAP BW 7.x system for active SAP BW object types. This list will help you identify which objects are being used.
The Recently Use Count in the details table indicates that the SAP BW object has been identified by the available statistics, and that the object was used within the past two years of the SAP Readiness Check execution.
2. Compatibility of SAP BW Objects
The Object Compatibility check scans your complete SAP BW 7.x system for all types of SAP BW objects. For each SAP BW object type, the check counts the number of instances, for example, the number of InfoCubes configured in your system and determines if the objects are compatible with SAP Datasphere, SAP BW bridge.
Incompatible objects are split into objects that can be converted automatically (you can see which tool to use in the detailed view) and objects that will require a manual redesign, or a deletion. If incompatible objects are found, the corresponding simplification item and a link to its documentation are displayed.

SAP Datasphere, SAP BW bridge only supports ODP-based source systems. Supported ODP contexts are: ODP – BW ODP – SAP (Extractors) ODP – ABAP CDS Views ODP – SLT
5. Custom Code Compatibility
Custom code may appear at various places in a typical SAP BW system. Most prominent is usually business logic implemented in transformations, which is used to enhance, check, and modify data during loading activities. But there are many more occasions in which custom code can be and is used in an SAP BW application.
As part of the code clean-up activities when developing the SAP Datasphere, SAP BW bridge code line, obsolete data types, APIs, function modules, and so on have been removed. Due to this, some custom code may not be compatible with SAP Datasphere, SAP BW bridge anymore (syntax errors or non-functioning).
The charts in the Custom Code Compatibility details view show an overview of potential custom code compatibility issues. The issues are grouped by the area they were found in (that is, the SAP BW object the custom code is related to), and by type.
In the section below, you can switch between data tables, which contain all findings by area, including information about how to resolve the issue and where to find more information.
