Real SAP Content Engineering Case Studies

Verified by enterprise clients after go-live. TB-scale processing. Zero data loss. No ABAP.

Pharma Client

2.4 TB → 48 hours

"Global Pharma (US)"

Cost Avoided:

$195,000 annually

HANA Impact:

Downgraded from Enterprise to Standard

The Problem

Client faced 2.4TB SOFFCONT1 causing $300k+ annual HANA costs and 48-hour downtime window risks during S/4 migration. Traditional RSIRPIRL was crashing with SYSTEM_NO_ROLL errors.

Our Approach

We used Python-powered pyrfc extraction to bypass SAP memory limits. Implemented TBL1024 chunking to process TB-scale data safely. Created parallel processing pipeline with checksum validation.

Technical Architecture:

  • pyrfc connection to SAP
  • TBL1024 chunking strategy
  • Parallel Python workers
  • SHA-256 checksum validation
  • Cloud archive migration

Results Delivered

  • 48-hour downtime reduced to 6 hours
  • 65% SOFFCONT1 reduction (1.56TB)
  • $195k annual HANA savings
  • Zero data loss guarantee
  • No ABAP modifications

Before/After

Before

DB02 showing 2.4TB SOFFCONT1 table

After

DB02 showing 0.84TB after optimization

Manufacturing

45k SRGBTBREL links

"Tier-1 Manufacturing (Germany)"

Cost Avoided:

$500k in delay costs

HANA Impact:

No impact to HANA licensing

The Problem

BP conversion was causing massive SRGBTBREL link corruption. 45,000+ attachment links were broken after conversion, blocking go-live and compliance audits.

Our Approach

Developed custom SRGBTBREL mapping logic using Python. Created GOS → ArchiveLink reconciliation engine. Validated all pointers before migration.

Technical Architecture:

  • SRGBTBREL table analysis
  • GOS pointer mapping
  • ArchiveLink validation
  • Link repair automation
  • Zero-ABAP validation

Results Delivered

  • 45,000 links repaired
  • On-time go-live achieved
  • Zero ABAP changes
  • Compliance audit pass
  • 30-minute validation

Before/After

Before

Empty attachment lists after BP conversion

After

Full attachment access post-fix

Logistics

ArchiveLink repository mismatch

"Logistics Leader (KSA)"

Cost Avoided:

$200k in compliance fines avoided

HANA Impact:

No impact to HANA

The Problem

24,000 migrated documents missing from ArchiveLink repository after cutover. OAC0 & OACT tables showing mismatches. Critical for compliance tracking.

Our Approach

Created ArchiveLink reconstruction engine with OAC0/OACT cross-reference validation. Implemented Python-powered repository reconciliation.

Technical Architecture:

  • OAC0/OACT cross-reference
  • ArchiveLink reconstruction
  • Repository reconciliation
  • Validation engine
  • Compliance tracking

Results Delivered

  • 24,000 docs restored
  • 100% access restored
  • Compliance maintained
  • Audit-ready documentation
  • Zero downtime

Before/After

Before

24k docs showing as missing

After

100% repository access restored

Retail

"Global Retail Chain"

Cost Avoided:

$400k annually

HANA Impact:

Avoided HANA upgrade

The Problem

SOFFCONT1 growing 18% annually. DB02 projections showed 8TB by year-end. Traditional archiving tools failing with memory errors.

Our Approach

Built Python pipeline to externalize cold data. Created automated growth monitoring. Implemented intelligent archiving based on access patterns.

Technical Architecture:

  • Growth pattern analysis
  • Cold data identification
  • Automated archiving pipeline
  • Access pattern tracking
  • Growth monitoring

Results Delivered

  • 18% growth reduced to 3%
  • 5TB externalized to cloud
  • Predictable costs
  • Automated processing
  • Zero user impact

Before/After

Before

18% annual growth trend

After

3% annual growth post-optimization
