Impact of SRM 7.0 Upgrade on XI 3.0

Hi,
Soon we are going to upgrade our SRM 4.0 system to SRM 7.0 and MDM Catalog 3.0.
So is there any impact on XI 3.0, do we need to upgrade XI 3.0 to PI 7.0 or PI 7.1 to be able to do this.
Do you have any idea?
I have looked in the PAM at SAP but I don't come to any conclusion. Could you help me to sort this out?
Thanks!
Sarvesh

After going through "Upgrade Dependency Analyzer" ([_UDA_|http://service.sap.com/uda]) it is possible to upgrade SRM without upgrading XI 3.0 but then SRM7.0 should be without EHP1, but if we want to have SRM on EHP1 then XI 3.0 must be upgraded to it's higher versions.
Apart from my findings if anyone has done this before then please let me know if there are any known issues or points to be taken care during upgrade.

Differences between-fresh SRM installation vs upgrade

Hi,
Can anybody of you help me out with the following-
Differences between the two approaches
fresh SRM install vs upgrade with kernel upgrade and patch application. Which approach is better and why?
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Its very urgent.

It depends on your Project Requirement. If you are upgrading your current version with any new version, then you will have to upgrade the system.
If you are implementing new version, then you will have install fresh and then upload the data from Old System.
You need to check your project. (Upgrade or Implementation)

Bidding Engine / Cfolders available after SRM 5.0 upgrade??

Hi Experts
Recently we upgraded from EBP 3.5 to SRM 5.0(SRM Server 5.5), we only have the ABAP stack & no Java stack.Our users have suggested to use the "bidding engine" & Cfolders, so what I want to know is
a) Is bidding Engine / Cfolders installed by default during the SRM 5.0 upgrade?.
b) Is Bidding Engine part of Live Auction Cockpit(LAC) & we need to install the LAC separately?.
c) Do I need to install the Java stack for the bidding engine & cfolders?.
An early reply will be much appreciated & useful replies will be rewarded with points.
Thanks & Rgds,
Abhishek

Hi Abhishek,
a. Bidding Engine is part of SRM server and there for use when SRM Server is installed. You are ready to go, customize and use. cFolders are part of cProject Suite and need to be extra installed.
b. LAC is an own component supporting the auction and need to be extra installed. This is also Java based, why you need the Java Stack here.
c. no, Bidding Engine and cFolders are both abap based.
Kind regards,
Clauda

Go to SE11, Menu->Utilities->Database Object->Check
            Menu->Utilities->Runtime Object->Check
If there are inconsistency, please follow note 211492 to adjust the inc
onsistency in original instance . But if these tables are obsolete,
for example doesn't exist in the system any more, you could also choose the option to 'Ignore' the error and
continue with the upgrade. But this is a BC-UPG issue.

Need to find impact of Vertex O series upgrade on ECC and changes required?

Hello experts,
My client is upgrading Vertex series to O from Q.
As part of Q series, additional fields such street will be used to identify correct tax jurisdiction code in system.
Also, zip code used will be 9 digits (zip+4) instead of 5 digits.
We need to correct existing master data and open transactions in system with new jurisdiction code along with supporting new data in system.
Below are the questions:
1. What changes are required in ECC side to support new vertex series in interface etc?
2. How can we achieve integration of vertex O series with new master and transnational data getting created in system to have right TXJCD value?
3. What all possible solutions are available to correct master data and transnational data in system with correct TXJCD value?
Any pointers to experience with Vertex will be rewarded.
Thank you,
Gouri.

Hi,
> 1. is there any dependency for the remaining systems in the landscape (SRM 5.0 SPS15, NW 7.0 SPS18, PI 7.1 SPS8, >SOLMAN EHP01 SPS22)?
As such there is no dependency between component you specified but SAP always says to be on latest patches. As far as solution manager is concerned you should have minimum support pack level Solman 7.0 SP17 but anyway you are more than that.
> 2. we are using AIX Version 5.3 and "DB2 v9.5.0.2", does it support ECC 6.0 EHP04 or do I need to upgrade?..
It is fine with your upgrade.
> 3. Java version for NW 7.0 is as follows:
> java version "1.4.2"
> Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2)
> Classic VM (build 1.4.2, J2RE 1.4.2 IBM AIX 5L for PowerPC (64 bit JVM) build caix64142-20080122 (SR10) (JIT enabled: jitc))
> Does it support my requirement or any upgrade is required?

Java version is also fine.

SRM 7.0 upgrade addon issues

I recently updated my ST-PI addon from 2005_1_640 to 2008_1_640 on my SRM system to match the ST-PI level on our SOLMAN system. Now I'm upgrading our SRM system from SRM 5.0 to SRM 7.0 and I'm stuck at the addon section of the upgrade. During the extraction phase I get a warning that says version 2008_1_640 is too high for the upgrade (>2005_1_710). I am able to continue past since it's just a warning. Once I get to the configuration phase I'm stopped to resolve the addons. my PI_BASIS is resolved by the addon dvd, but my ST-PI, ST-A/PI, and VIRSANH packages won't resolve. I have the install, upgrade, and supplemental files for ST-PI 2008/700 and 2008/710 as well as the needed packages for the other addons unpacked into EPS/in, but when I choose "Upgrade with Saint package" it doesn't see any of the packages.
Has anyone else had this problem and how was it resolved?
Thanks
Jeff

This fixed it for me.
Edit bin/IS_RANGE.LST file to include 2008_1_700.
         Ranges of ADD-ONs which are included in the Export
ADD-ON_ID       RELMIN            RELMAX
      PI_BASIS        2002_1_620        2006_1_710
      ST-PI           003C_40B          2008_1_700
FIX
      WP-PI           500_46D           600_620
Reset the upgrade by going back until the first step. Start the upgrade and then run SAPup stop ADDON_CHK to stop the upgrade before the ADDON_CHK to get rid of the error. ONce the check is performed it over writes the file again so at the stop between the extraction and configuration phases make the above change again and it if you have the 2008_1_700 addon in your EPS/in directory the upgrade will continue on and you'll be able to continue on.

CCM 2.0 Catalog to SRM-MDM 3.0 Catalog during SRM 7.0 upgrade

Hi,
We are upgrading our existing SRM 5.0 system to SRM 7.0 and we are planning to deploy SRM-MDM 3.0 Catalog as it is more flexible & SAP is not going to support CCM 2.0 Catalog after 2013. Please let me know the upgrade steps/plan to upgrade CCM 2.0 to SRM-MDM 3.0 catalog. As per my understanding, there is no tool/method available to upgrade from CCM 2.0 to SRM-MDM 3.0 catalog available. We need to build it from scratch i.e maintain SAP supplied MDM repository, upload data from SRM/ERP, upload suppliers catalog etc.
Thanks,
AS

Hi,
I have migrated CCM to SRM-MDM Catalog.
Steps are
- Install SRM-MDM Catalog
- Adjust Repository if you have custom fields
- Import contents
- Adjust view
Migration itself is not difficult but you need to learn how to use MDM client tools.
The SRM270 class room training is good one.

After SRM 5.0 upgrade BBP_DRIVER_DETERMINE not calling properly?

Hello,
We have upgraded our system from SRM 4.0 to SRM 5.0.Before upgrade we are using BBP_DRIVER_DETERMINE to determine function to create PO. If is b470_po_create function then use zb470_p0_create function.
After upgrade we have tested and found that zb470_p0_create is not calling. We put a brakpoint in the implementation of BBP_DRIVER_DETERMINE it will never stop there. Before it was stopped there.
Can any one have flow how PO will create in backend system in Calssic scenario please share(with function module and BADI names).
Please tell me flow after click on order in SC how PO will create in backend.
Please let me know ASAP..bcoz it is urgent..

Hello venkatesh,
The standard process flow as far as i know are as below:
1. once you order teh shopping cart the workflow asscociated get triggered and shopping cart would go through approval process.
2. Once the shopping cart is approved the status is set to released.
3. With the change of stauts "BBP_REQREQ_TRANSFER is triggered.
4.BBP_REQREQ_TRANSFER internally calls BBP_PD_SC_TRANSFER_INTERNAL for new structure(version of SRM)
5.Badi is called to group the PO if implemented else standard way fo SRM for grouping of PO iscarried.
6.Then SPOOL_PO_CREATE is triggered for backend PO creation.
7. Then FM META_PO_CREATE is called.
8 Then FM META_BAPI_DISPATCH is called.
9. Inside FM META_BAPI_DISPATCH u have the BAPI BBP_DRIVER_DETERMINE Called. if this badi is implemented it will go to implementation of badi and overwrite the FM name with Function module that SAP determine from table "BBP_FUNCTION_MAP".
request you to put a break point at META_BAPI_DISPATCH and check why its not going to your BADI implementation.
10. then the function module from "BBP_FUNCTION_MAP or you badi implementaion is called and proceesed further to result in PO.
If for some reason the "SPOOL_PO_CREATE" fails then a spool job is created which spools the creation of PO for later time.
Hope this is useful to you .
Reward point if helpful.
Cheers

Information on impact on interfaces due to upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0

Hi friends,
We are upgrading from 4.7 to ECC 6.0. We have some interfaces with the SAP system in our current version.I need information on which of these interfaces will be affected due to Upgrade of the system to ECC 6.0
Mentioned below is the list
SAP R/3 --- CRM 5.0
SAP R/3 --- Xi PAY
SAP R/3 --- Vertex
SAP R/3 --- TEKRF
SAP R/3 --- Virsa
SAP R/3 --- WTX
SAP R/3 --- SOLMAN
It would be really helpful if you can just provide the initial impact analysis for these interfaces due to upgrade.Points will be rewarded.
Thank in advance.
Regards,
Pawan.

Hi
there are several oss-notes available which explain how to transfer your text customizing to the new procedure. This happens if you are uppgrading from a release 4.6c or lower. If you are already in 4.7, there should be no problem with text determination.

Custom Fields in SRM 7.0 upgrade

Hi all,
We are doing upgrade from SRM 5.0 to SRM 7.0. In SRM 5.0 we have lots of custom fields in Shopping cart, Bid Invitation & Vendor quotation screens. But those fields are not being displayed in SRM 7.0 screen. What are all the changes needs to be done? Can somebody throw light on this?
Regards,
Prasanna.

Hi
As you have all those fields extended to SRM tables, so that part is not required to be re developed in your case. The only remaining thing is enhance the WebDynpro Elements and include those fields in the Webdynpro as follows:
1. Add these custom fields to header or item levels in IMG--> Supplier relationship management --> Cross application basic settings --> Extensions and Field COntrol --> Configure Field Control --> Configure Field Control at Header Level/Item Level.
2. Find the WebDynpro Component by Clicking right on the section of the screen where you want this field to be added.
3. Enhance the webdynpro application to add the field in Context view of the Webdynpro View.
4. Add the field in Layout of the Webdynpro View and bind the field in layout with Context of the respective field.....and activate the Webdynpro enhancement
Refer to Service Marketplace for more details about the same

SRM 5.5 upgrade to SRM 7.0 with MDM

Hi,
Pl consider the following scenario and give your views.
Our client has SRM 5.5 running with SRM MDM 2.0 in their landscape. Now they wish to upgrade to SRM 7.0 without upgrading MDM.(We are upgrading through the parallel landscape).
So during the upgrade phase, we wish to connect SRM 5.5 and SRM 7.0 both to their existing MDM system for testing purpose. Is this possible?
PS : Parallel landscape is existing DEV environment will be copied and then upgrade the copied environment. We plan to copy only SRM Server and want to continue using the existing MDM, PI, Portal and TREX setup.
Regards

Hi,
No issue for testing purpose in test landscape. It is not production usage and production system.

Masa
