Already on S/4HANA? Your custom code isn't done yet
Going live on S/4HANA isn't the finish line for Clean Core — it's the start. Why converted systems drift out of compliance, and how continuous governance keeps every upgrade a non-event.
Lumivara gets small and mid-size SAP teams to a clean S/4HANA core incrementally — ATC remediation and modern RAP/CDS/Fiori, backed by ABAP Enclave, private on-prem AI that keeps your source on your network. Already live on S/4HANA? We keep it clean.
ABAP Enclave
Direct table write + sy-uname — not cloud-ready
UPDATE zorders SET status = 'C'
WHERE order_id = lv_id.
lv_user = sy-uname.RAP + released API — Clean Core, upgrade-safe
MODIFY ENTITIES OF zi_order
ENTITY order UPDATE
FIELDS ( status ) WITH order_updates.
DATA(user) = cl_abap_context_info=>get_user_technical_name( ).The model runs on your hardware — your ABAP source never leaves the network.
SAP ECC support ends 2027. The teams that win move early — before rates spike and specialists run out.
Every offering sorted into three lanes: we modernize your code, we train your team, or we put AI in your workflow. Combine them freely — and start with what's free.
We do it for you
Hands-on Clean Core work on your codebase: measure the risk, fix the worst of it, and keep it clean release after release.
We train your team
Instructor-led programs that move classic-ABAP developers onto RAP, CDS and Clean Core before 2027 — backed by digital practice that makes it stick.
AI in your workflow
ABAP-fluent AI where your team already works — from a chat assistant they can message today to fully private AI on your own hardware.
Everything starts free: run the readiness audit, pull the open-source tools, message Hana. When you want the gap closed — that's an assessment, a training cohort, or a private AI rollout.
The patterns that block ABAP Cloud (SAP's cloud-safe development model) — and the released, low-risk way out of each.
“We can't move to the cloud — our custom code is ancient.”
Direct writes to SAP tables, old-style Dynpro screens, sy-uname (the logged-in user) and unreleased, upgrade-fragile APIs everywhere.
“It takes months to add a screen to a table app.”
Hand-built Dynpro screens, ALV grids and function modules, with no scaffolding to speed it up.
“Every batch run is BDC fragility — a screen changed and it broke.”
BDC / CALL TRANSACTION — brittle scripts that replay GUI screens — tied to exact screen field layouts.
“ATC throws hundreds of findings and we don't know where to start.”
No triage; ABAP_CLOUD_DEVELOPMENT_DEFAULT / S/4HANA findings treated as one big wall.
“The business can't see its data without us exporting files.”
No OData, no analytical model — reporting means a manual spreadsheet drop.
“Our reports time out and the DB team says we query wrong.”
SELECT *, N+1 loops in the app layer, and inefficient sorts.
Code-quality findings driven to zero, brittle screen-automation (BDC) retired for modern apps, a GUI-only report reborn as a browser app, slow nightly jobs made fast. Walk through representative engagements and the released, low-risk path behind each.
No commitment. Measure where you stand, then talk to us when you're ready.
Answer a short questionnaire about your custom code — direct table writes, brittle screen-automation (BDC), dynamic SQL, and whether you run SAP's code-quality checker (ATC) — and get a Clean Core readiness score plus a prioritized, worst-first remediation list.
Take the readiness auditEvery common ABAP bad habit mapped to a concrete fix — a tool, a released API, or a step-by-step how-to. The fastest way to see what a clean core looks like in practice.
Get the playbookThe reasons small and mid-size SAP teams choose a practitioner who ships software.
You work directly with a senior ABAP engineer who has shipped the tools and the training — not a rotating team of juniors.
Engagements are scoped and priced up front. No open-ended day rates, no surprise overruns.
Adopt the cloud-safe subset now and migrate the rest module by module. The business keeps running.
Code, patterns, CI guardrails and an upskilled team stay with you. The tooling is open source.

SAP ECC mainstream maintenance ends in 2027. Here's a custom-code migration plan for small and mid-size teams that de-risks the move to S/4HANA — incrementally, without rewriting everything.
The handful of code issues most likely to block your SAP cloud move — flagged by ATC, SAP's code-quality checker — and the official, upgrade-safe replacement for each.
