Migrating an SAP 4.7x110 system on W2003 32-bit to a 64-bit host (x86_64)
We want to migrate an SAP 4.7x110 system on Windows Server 2003 32-bit to a 64-bit host (x86_64). Afterwards we want to upgrade the system to ECC 6.0.
According to PAM, 4.7x110 is not supported on Windows 64-bit.
According to note 960769,
"After the migration to the 64-bit hardware, your SAP system may have a status that is not supported by SAP for productive use (see Note 814834). You may need to upgrade to a new SAP release. In this exceptional circumstance, SAP offers support for the duration of the upgrade. Note that SAP does not support a longer, more productive use of such a system for the period after the migration and before the upgrade....
...We generally recommend to use SQL Server 2005 (64-bit) for the productive use on x86_64. However, the 32-bit operation of SQL Server 2000 on Windows x86_64 64-Bit (supported by Microsoft) is also supported by SAP...
...The following table illustrates which OS/DB combination supports each SAP release in the target system.
Source System Target System (Kernel, DB Software) Support Comment
3.1I 3.1I 32-bit, MSSQL 2000 32-bit only for upgrade (a,c)
4.0B 4.0B 32-bit, MSSQL 2000 32-bit only for upgrade (c)
4.5B 4.5B 32-bit, MSSQL 2000 32-bit only for upgrade (c)
4.6C 4.6D 32-bit, MSSQL 2005 64-bit productive (b)
620 640 64-bit, MSSQL 2005 64-bit productive (b)
640 640 64-bit, MSSQL 2005 64-bit productive (b)
700 700 64-bit, MSSQL 2005 64-bit productive (b) "
According to note 814834,
"SAP supports the x86_64 platform on Windows 2003 Server SP1 x64 for kernel 4.6D and kernel 6.40 and higher. ... For product versions based on kernel 6.40 and higher, only 64-bit operation is supported."
According to note 905634, about SQL Server 2005 support (where a mention to R3E 4.7 x110 is missing)
"Supported SAP products based on SAP_BASIS 6.20 and SAP_BASIS 6.40
Product Windows platforms
BW 3.10 x86, IA-64
SCM 4.0 x86, IA-64
EBP/CRM 4.0 x86, IA-64
ECC 5.0 SR1 x86, IA-64, x64

R3E 4.7 x200 SR1 x86, IA-64, x64
SolMan 3.2 SR1 x86, IA-64, x64 "
+//////////////////////+//
According to all this information, may I move our 4.7x110 system onto a Windows Server 2003 SP1 64-bit, SQL Server 2005 64-bit, and after that we would upgrade to ECC 6.0?
Thanks !!!

Sorry, I forgot posting the SAP answer, which is also "Yes":

Dear Eva,
Yes, you can move to the 64 bit platform with SQL Server 2005 according
to note 960769.
Information in note 905634 means there is no installation DVD for
release 47x110 for SQL Server 2005. So it is not possible to do a fresh
installation of 47x110 except if you follow the workaround of note
899111 (for x64).

Steps in after migration of fixed assets in SAP R/3 System
Hi Guru's,
I migrated all fixed assets from legacy system to SAP R/3 system. Dev,Quality and Mock Production Server.
Could anybody guide me what is the next process in Fixed Assets?
That would be greate help from our Guru's
Regards
Odaiah PelleyReport S_ALR_87011964 will be able to give you a report by Asset Class.
In terms of the data you have migrated, I am guessing in your current system there is a way to get the same data and therefore you should compare.
Another check is the total posting you have made to the GL Data Migration account is the same as the total balance in your current system.
FS10 will give you this.
Lastly you can also use FS10 for the asset recon accounts if they are grouped in a similar way in your current system.
The business lead should be able to help you with the data they have and how they could reconcile their data. -
Migration of SAP Workflow to non-SAP system
Hi All,
If there is a SAP Standard or custom Business Workflow in SAP system and if we want to implement the same business flow in some non-SAP system(EX: Oracle Apps,Workflow tools etc.,) where Workflows can be used...
Can we migrate the SAP workflow into that system (non-SAP) by converting to the SAP Workflow template in xml or other format that supports the non-SAP system?
Can the above said scenario be done?
Or what is the process of Migrations of Workflows from SAP to non-SAP or Vice versa.?
Thanks in advance
Hraish KolliparaHi,
From your posting what I can understand is you want to model the same Process in other System e.g. Oracle Apps which is already modeled and working properly in SAP system. I wonder if its possible to download the template from a system and use it in other. As per my knowledge every system has its own development Engine which is configured to work in a specified way. So if its possible then its really time saving.
Regards,
Vaishali.

Can we migrate SAP 40B release system from windows NT to windows 2003.
Hi,
We want to know can we migrate SAP 40B release system from windows NT to windows 2003 server; if yes, please share with us the OS migration document.
Regards,
R Mav> Our SAP 4 O B is on windows NT and oracle version is 8.0.5 and wants to do OS migration from NT to win. 2003.
Neither Oracle 8.0 nor 8i were releases on Windows 2003, they won't work and are not released.
So I'm afraid the only way you can go is Windows 2000.

2LIS_03_BX- Initial Stock/Material stock
2LIS_03_BF - Material movements
2LIS_03_UM - Revaluations/Find the price of the stock
The first DataSource (2LIS_03_BX) is used to extract an opening stock balance on a
detailed level (material, plant, storage location and so on). At this moment, the opening
stock is the operative stock in the source system. "At this moment" is the point in time at
which the statistical setup ran for DataSource 2LIS_03_BX. (This is because no
documents are to be posted during this run and so the stock does not change during this
run, as we will see below). It is not possible to choose a key date freely.
The second DataSource (2LIS_03_BF) is used to extract the material movements into
the BW system. This DataSource provides the data as material documents (MCMSEG
structure).
The third of the above DataSources (2LIS_03_UM) contains data from valuated
revaluations in Financial Accounting (document BSEG). This data is required to update
valuated stock changes for the calculated stock balance in the BW. This information is
not required in many situations as it is often only the quantities that are of importance.
This DataSource only describes financial accounting processes, not logistical ones. In
other words, only the stock value is changed here, no changes are made to the
quantities. Everything that is subsequently mentioned here about the upload sequence
and compression regarding DataSource 2LIS_03_BF also applies to this DataSource.
This means a detailed description is not required for the revaluation DataSource.

Hello!
Before the upgrade from R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0 I would like to execute SAP R/3 system analysis.
The following functions should be included in this program:
- detailed analysis of system modifications (effort driver and risk factor during an Upgrade)
- comparison against a SAP ERP 6.0 reference system
- extension SAP tools, including RBE and conflict lists (SPAU/SPDD)
- syntax analysis of program code with respect of adjustement need
- quality control of own development
- control of amount of transports within different company areas
- control of user information, such a user type, logon date, etc.
- basic control, whether a sufficient authorization concept is available
- Identification of objects that should be considered for the archiving in oder to decrease the db-size
My question are:
<b>- which tasks can be convered with SAP standard transactions what are the names of the transactions?
- which effort do I investigate for these tasks?</b>
Thank you very much!

http://service.sap.com/releasenotes and http://service.sap.com/upgrade for functional changes.
Need to consider the following things:
For Reports its custom developed program so unless there is any kind of change in requirement from the client regarding the layout nothing needs to be changed I think it will work fine in ECC 6.0 to except few things may needs to be changed..so you need to discuss whether they want the reorts as it is right now or want to change the layout (adding some new info/fields etc) of any report so u need to modify the program for those and estimate accordingly for a medium complexitys Report dev it takes approx 9 pd (FRSTDSCoding+Unit Testing) so to modify it will be less than that (depending upon the scope of changes)
Now say for Batch Inputs(interface/Data Migration) using BDC you need to see how many BDCs are there again if the field lengths and layouts are not changing then no need to change anything (except the main thing ..you need to change the obsolete function modules there are some in 4.6 c like for data upload ws_upload_*** is there 4.6C but obsolete in ECC6.0 there are some new with enhanced functionality so you need to modify the BDCs and many cases it happens that the whole transaction screen changes for process in that case better to develop new BDCs so you have to consider those parameter look into and estimate accordingly modifying a BDC should not take more than 1 PD
Now say for Forms there was no Smart form in 4.6C form printer was there..though the same option is there in ECC 6.0 too..but better to go for/should go for Smart form in that case its complete new dev so estimate accordingly a medium complexitys form should take 8 PD (FRSTDSCoding+Unit Testing) you can take it as 10 PD too even if client wants to keep it is as it was in older version you have to redevelop the layout in ECC 6.0 again as form printer is even client dependent maximum you can copy the program associated with that form in the new version too and your effort will be saved again you have to consider if clients wants to change the layout too
Now for enhancement so in that case u need to see individual cases for a medium complexity enhancement it should take max 15 PD (FRSTDSCoding+Unit Testing)
One more important thing is that the Unicode Compatibility this needs to be done .needs to change the code (variable name) accordingly .also Version management tool is used for the standard programs
Also pls find the following forums:

Migrating to SAP General Ledger (NewGL) on a different box
We are looking at migrating to SAP General Ledger on a production system with over 150 company codes and 10 years of unarchived data. Since this results in pretty large database tables we are looking at several options to minimize business impact.
Among the available options, I have been told that it is possible to perform a migration from one box to another rather than in-place. I'm having trouble visualizing how transactional data from other modules (CO, SD, MM, PP etc) would be preserved in this case.
Can anyone tell me if migrating from classic GL on one box to new GL on another is possible? Does it really reduce downtime? If so, how does it achieve this time savings? What are the pitfalls of taking this approach? Can a box-to-box approach be taken without loss of non-GL transactional data?
Thanks in advance,
PaulHi,
we migrated on 31st of march 2008 3 different 46c systems (AT, IN, CN) with 3 huge and a few small company codes into one ECC 60 system (using HR, SD, MM, PM, PP, QM, FI, CO). In ECC 60 we are using NewGL, document split, functional area reporting, PRCTR-wise balance sheets, segment reporting, FI/CO online integration, leding ledger IFRS, 2 non leading ledgers for every comp. code,...
The migration project was started a year before go-live the system downtime was only the 31st of march (one day) for each company code.
The main thing was, that we decided not to migrate any old transactional data to the new system but only the data (master data, open items, open PO's,...) thats needed.
So the old stuff remains still in the old system (FY-end closing was done there) and all comp.codes started the new fiscal year in the new system.
Due to the fact that many reporting issues where covered by business warehouse this ensured a continously reporting across the old and new system landscape and there was never a need to have "old" data visible in the new system.

Migration from SAP BC To SAP P.I
HI Experts ,
I am required to do migration from SAP BC to SAP P.I. I would require the following Info/Help from you as i have not worked on such scenario before this!
1) What kind of challenges can be faced during migration from BC to XI?
2) What is the best practise for doing the same?
3) Can you share some scenario from where i can have some idea how to do migration?
4) Generally how much time it takes in migration activity if ther are not much interfaces involved in it?
Would appreciate your valuable inputs on the same!
I have read How to guide docs on how to do migration from BC to XI but not convinced with the content
Regards
Saras JainHi Saras,
I am giving you an example senario and a how to do all the steps and why it needed. if you need more information just mail me i'll give you the concerned PDF.
Scenario
SAP Business Connector enables data exchange between an SAP system and
external systems using HTTP and e-mail. SAP Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI)
replaces SAP Business Connector (SAP BC).
We distinguish between standard scenarios (that do not contain customer-specific
development) and individual scenarios (that do contain services or mappings created
by the customer). The following sections describe how to migrate both types of
scenarios to SAP XI.
Scenario 1 (IDoc HTTP, HTTP IDoc)
An SAP system sends an IDoc to SAP BC or to SAP XI. The IDoc is converted to
XML. It is sent to an external business partner by using HTTP.
An external business partner sends an XML document by using HTTP to SAP BC or
to SAP XI. The document is converted to an IDoc and sent to a connected SAP
system in the internal system landscape.
Scenario 2 (IDoc Mail, Mail IDoc)
An SAP system sends an IDoc to SAP BC or to SAP XI. The IDoc is converted to
XML. It is sent to an external business partner as an e-mail.
An external business partner sends an e-mail to SAP BC or to SAP XI. The
document is converted to an IDoc and sent to a connected SAP system in the
internal system landscape.
Flow Services
Flow services are services that are written in the proprietary graphical-based flow
language of SAP BC.
Java Services
Java services are services that are written in the Java language.
There are several platforms that support Java, including SAP XI. However, the data
model used in the Java services in SAP BC is proprietary.
Stylesheet Transformations
Stylesheet transformations are often used for mapping purposes. They take an XML
document as input, convert it according to rules defined in the stylesheet, which is
also an XML document, and produce an XML document as output.
The XML Stylesheet Transformation Language (XSLT) was defined by W3C (World
Wide Web Consortium), the consortium that defines most of the common standards in modern internet communication, such as HTML and SOAP.
SAP NetWeaver is the open integration and application platform from SAP. With
NetWeaver 04, there is a significant overlap between the functions of SAP
NetWeaver and SAP BC. Many functions provided by SAP BC are offered by SAP XI
as part of SAP NetWeaver, for example, conversion of an IDoc to an XML message,
mapping, routing, and adapters to connect to a large number of third-party back-end
systems. SAP BC is therefore no longer needed. New or updated SAP solutions are
based on SAP NetWeaver. Customers looking for a strategic integration solution for
the complete application landscape should therefore now favor SAP NetWeaver.
The last version of SAP BC was SAP BC 4.7, which was released in June 2003. SAP
BC has not been developed further since this release. SAP BC is not released for
any further platforms (such as Windows 2003) and does not support any further JDK
versions, including the current version (Version 1.4).
For information about the supported SAP BC versions, JDKs, and operating systems,
see SAP Note 309834. For information about the support and maintenance strategy
for SAP BC, see SAP Note 571530. Customers who still use SAP BC need to be
aware of the following:
A solution based on SAP BC cannot be a strategic, long-term solution.
A solution based on SAP BC is based on technology that was implemented in
2003 and that is no longer further developed.
SAP BC is supported on limited platforms and for limited JDKs only. Vendor
support for some of these platforms and JDK versions will soon be
discontinued.
SAP BC and SAP NetWeaver are based on different technologies: SAP BC is based
on webMethods proprietary Integration Server, whereas SAP NetWeaver is based
on open standards, such as BPEL4WS (business process execution language for
web services). Therefore, only parts of an SAP BC implementation, such as XSLT
mappings, can be migrated to a solution based on SAP NetWeaver. Any custom
programming based on SAP BC, such as SAP BC flow language, is unlikely to be
reusable in the SAP NetWeaver context.
Purpose of this Migration Guide
The purpose of this migration guide is to provide scenario-based descriptions of the
migration from a companys system landscape that uses SAP BC to exchange
documents with business partners, to a system landscape that uses SAP XI instead.
This migration guide outlines, for certain scenarios, the individual steps a company
has to take to replace an existing SAP BC implementation with SAP XI.
The basic steps in the back-end systems are:
Defining the logical systems
Maintaining the ALE distribution model
Maintaining partner profiles and EDI ports
Maintaining RFC destinations
The basic steps in the SAP XI system are:
Maintaining the System Landscape Directory
Configuring the IDoc adapter
Maintaining the receiver determinations, interface determinations, and
interface agreements
Maintaining the communication channels
The type of scenario to migrate typically has an impact on the communication channels only.
Scenario 1 IDoc/HTTP
IDoc HTTP Using SAP BC
Within the system landscape of a company, an SAP system sends an IDoc
asynchronously to SAP BC. SAP BC converts the IDoc into a standard IDoc XML
document. The fields of the IDoc are not modified, that is, the conversion does not
involve any mapping of source fields to target fields. After conversion, SAP BC uses
HTTP to send the XML document synchronously to an external URL of a business
partner.
System Landscape
An SAP system and SAP BC are installed within the same system landscape
of a company.
The following information is defined in the SAP system to allow data
exchange between the SAP system and SAP BC:
o An RFC destination and a logical system for SAP BC
o The distribution model is maintained, if necessary
The following information is defined in SAP BC:
o An SAP server with an alias is defined. For this SAP server, the
information that the SAP BC requires to connect to the SAP system is
specified.
o A listener is configured to listen to requests from the SAP system.
o A routing rule with the transport type XML is configured for the
specific sender, receiver, and message type. The routing rule
determines how a message is to be routed and where it is to be routed
to. The scenario described does not use an ACL, (Access Control List
to restrict execution permissions for this routing rule) or pre-processing
or post-processing SAP BC services.
4.2 IDoc HTTP Using SAP XI
Check the prerequisites described above under Prerequisites for Standard
Scenarios.
The IDoc adapter is used to receive an IDoc from an SAP back-end system and
convert it to XML.
The adapter used to post this XML to an external destination is the plain HTTP
adapter.
To set up the communication channel, perform the following steps:
1. Locate the routing rule in SAP
Business Connector.
In the Administration View, choose
Adapters Routing to navigate to
Routing Rules.
2. Select the details of the relevant routing rule.
To display the details, choose the green triangle (Edit).
Transport is typically set to XML and a URL is specified. You can use this
URL in your SAP XI settings.In some cases, Transport is set to
B2B Service and the parameters Server Alias, Folder and Service
exist. This is the same as when Transport is set to XML and has the
URL http://<serverhost>:<port>/invoke/<folder>/<service>.
You can find <serverhost> and<port> in the definition of the

How to migrate a SAP Oracle 9i to Oracle 10g (on a new machine) ?
Hello,
Do you know the proper procedure of such a migration : Migrate a SAP Oracle 9i to a new machine : HP-UNIX, Oracle 10g.
My understanding :
(1) Setup the new machine
(2) Install the latest version of HP-UX
(3) Install Oracle 10g database program
(4) Use Oracle Export / Import to copy my existing SAP Oracle 9i to this newly installed Oracle 10g machine.
(5) copy or tar all the SAP related files, eg.BRTOOLS, ABAP reports, to the new machine
(6) Modify all the configure files since the machine name is different.
Is it correct ?
Is it the most appropriate method ?
Is Export / Import a proper way to migrate an Oracle to a new version ?
Should I use Data Gurad instead ?
Finally, for this migration issue, any SAP Note you will suggest ?There are two ways of doing this:
a) You do a system copy using R3load
This will give you a "free" reoganization because the tables will be loaded into the database as if you were doing a new installation. The disadvantage is, that it takes more time and good planning.
b) you do a system copy using backup/restore together with the database upgrade
This is a fast way to get your system upgraded and if something goes wrong you can still use the old system. Check
Note 932722 - Upgrade to Oracle 10.2 during a database copy
this is a note for Windows but you can adapt it to be used on Unix/HP-UX too.
And just as a remark:
The "free" support for Oracle 10g is ending next year in June (see Note 1339724 - Oracle 10.2 Extended Support free until July 31, 2011) - after that you have to buy additional support if you want to continue to run 10g. If you run now a migration/upgrade project, why not upgrade directly to 11g?

I'm currently installing SAP Netweaver 7.0 in Windows Server 2008 R2. The database is MS SQL 2008 R2.
I'm a bit confuse now because I'm not sure need to start a fresh installation or just doing a system copy will do. This is because I already have existing system with server 2003 and MSSQL 2005. I just need to do a system copy to export and import to the new server or I need to do a fresh installation in the new server where I need to install solution manager in order to get the key to proceed with the installation.> We would like to migrate a SAP NetWeaver system with ca. 90 interfaces from
> data center 1 to data center 2.
> The current OS is SUN and DB is DB2.
> The destination/future OS is Windows with Oracle.
> The questions:
> 1) Which XI specific points (interfaces, messages, etc.) should be considered during the migration?
You have to be aware that Solaris -> Windows implies an endian change (Solaris SPARC is BE whereas Windows is LE). The receiving systems must "know", that the data coming is of a different endianess - depending on which adapter you use.
> 2) Which estimate (round about) does it take?
Nobody can tell you that, it is influenced by hardware, storage power, preparation, parallel tasks etc. etc. etc.
> 3) Where can I find the appropriate documentation?
http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration
Basically you will be doing a heterogenous system copy, roughly spoken "start sapinst, export ABAP and Java, start sapinst on target and import".
Be aware that you need a SAP certified migration consultant on site to do the migration. If you do it on your own you will loose support in case of problems.
