The Software Update Manager (SUM) is the primary tool used for migrating the database and converting the data during a system conversion to SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition. It handles both the technical migration and the transformation processes needed to align the legacy system data structures with those required by SAP S/4HANA, ensuring that data integrity and system functionality are maintained throughout the conversion process.References= The capabilities and use of SUM for system conversions are detailed in SAP migration guidelines and training materials.

When transitioning to the new SAP S/4HANA output management framework during a system conversion to RISE with SAP S/4HANA Cloud, private edition, the key step is to set up SAP S/4HANA output control. This involves configuring the output management settings to align with the new system's architecture, which is designed to offer enhanced capabilities for handling document output, such as extensibility, multi-tenancy, and configuration without modifications.References= This process is detailed in SAP S/4HANA transition guides, which describe the new output management features and configuration steps.
