What is the Future of SAP Cloud Portal Service ?
Existing SAP Cloud Portal service customers can continue using the portal service on the Multi Cloud environment – there is no end of support date at the moment.
If a customer would like to transition to other services on SAP BTP, we recommend to evaluate a transition to SAP Build Work Zone:
- Customers who implemented launchpad sites can consider a transition to SAP Build Work Zone, standard edition.
- Customers who implemented freestyle sites can consider a transition to SAP Build Work Zone, advanced edition (note that there is no real feature parity between freestyle sites and SAP Build Work Zone).
Migration from Neo Environment to the Multi-Cloud Foundation
If you plan a migration from the Neo to the Cloud Foundry / Multi-Cloud environment of SAP BTP, you can migrate your SAP Fiori launchpad sites to the Cloud Portal service or also SAP Build Work Zone standard edition (formerly called "SAP Launchpad service") in the Cloud Foundry environment.
This can be done via an export and import functionality. Note that you can only migrate SAP Fiori Launchpad sites, not Freestyle sites. For more information, see the guide Migrating SAP Fiori Launchpad Sites to the Cloud Foundry Environment.
