Step 1 (As-Is) - Checking the Integrity of the Where Used Indexes

Before running an SAP HANA migration assessment, you should check that the Where Used indexes are up to date on your As-Is SAP system. The Where Used indexes are maintained by the following SAP jobs, which are scheduled by SAP when transaction SE80 (ABAP workbench) is run for the first time.

EU_INIT

This job runs once and starts program SAPRSEUC to create indexes for all customer defined programs. The indexes for customer-defined programs are automatically updated in dialog mode. If the EU_INIT job is terminated, it is automatically scheduled for the next day, and continues from the point at which it was interrupted.

EU_REORG

Indexes for customer-defined programs are automatically updated online by the ABAP Workbench tools. To minimize the impact of maintaining the indexes, only the changes are logged, which means that a reorganization of the entire index for each program is needed from time to time. If required, this task is performed by the EU_REORG job, which is scheduled to run each night.

EU_PUT

This job is scheduled to run each night. It starts program SAPRSEUT, which checks whether customer-defined development objects have been transported into the system using the SAP transport system. If they have, the program generates or updates their indexes as required.

To check whether these jobs have been run, execute transaction SM37 on the As-Is system. The following screen is displayed.
