The calendar is turning faster than many organizations realize. As SAP has made clear, extended support for SAP Business Suite 7 and SAP NetWeaver — including SAP NetWeaver AS Java 7.5 — ends on December 31, 2030. After that date, the integrated support path customers have relied on for decades will no longer exist. There will be no kernel patches, no security corrections, no database-specific fixes for these environments.
For many organizations, the standard SAP applications running on SAP NetWeaver are well understood: upgrade paths exist, roadmaps are published, timelines are set. But there is a second migration challenge that often gets less attention — and that is frequently the harder one. Custom Java applications built directly on the SAP NetWeaver AS Java platform are woven into business-critical processes across industries. These are not off-the-shelf products with a migration wizard. They are bespoke, often decades old, and deeply tied to platform APIs that simply do not exist in the cloud.
That challenge now has a purpose-built answer: the SAP NetWeaver Application Migration Assistant.
