Int4 Automated Migration Cockpit
Int4 Suite enables an automated approach for SAP PI/PO to SAP CPI migration projects. By introducing a migration cockpit with an interface worklist and shortcuts to useful Int4 Suite features, it facilitates managing the migration process and supporting it with automation.
Int4 Automated Migration Cockpit is built on top of Int4 Shield Lite features. To fully utilize this tool, it is recommended to understand the basic concepts behind Automation Objects and Test Cases first.
Principles of Operation
Int4 Automated Migration Cockpit uses the underlying features of Int4 Suite and organizes them into an accessible migration cockpit. It provides a process for migration scoping, test case preparation, migration automation, monitoring, and final testing.
Accessing the Migration Cockpit
Int4 Automated Migration Cockpit is available through Fiori launchpad.

Important Notes for Automated Migration
The migration is supported for certain SAP PI/PO ICO’s. For complex scenarios, such as those using BPM, process needs to be manually controlled.
Due to functional differences, automatic migration may not be feasible for all ICO’s. Int4 Suite enables testing of all scenarios using the APITester Cockpit
SAP CPI is a very flexible tool, and as such, it allows for building the same interface in multiple ways. It is thus possible to build CPI interfaces in a way that will make testing, including manual and automated testing, very difficult or even impossible. Please ensure that the development team observes the SAP CPI patterns and best practices, as documented in this SAP Blog: Comprehensive SAP CPI Guide for Standards & Best Practices
