PI system upgrade from 7.1 to 7.4 dual stack

Hi,
  We want to upgrade PI system to 7.4 .currently we are using PI 7.1 system (dual stack)and want to go for 7.4 dual stack.
  which one single stack or dual stack is the best approach and what are the impacts normally see when upgrading  to newer version.
  We are planning to install 7.4 freshly recomonded by SAP .
  We need to migrate objects from older system to newer system?
  I want to know the process from basis perspective also .
  Import/export or migrate is the best way to move objects from older sytem to newer system.
  Please suggest me any links about the process including basis point of view also suggestions for the approach.
thanks,
aman

>>>> which one single stack or dual stack is the best approach and what are the impacts normally see when upgrading  to newer version.
I would prefer single stack considering the SAP's future road map but of course it depends on how much effort your company is ready to spend. Incase you have lot of CCBPM's then you'll have to redesign them using Netweaver BPM if you go with single stack.
As are going with fresh installation(migration) of dual stack then you don't need to invest much.
>>>  We are planning to install 7.4 freshly recomonded by SAP .

There is wizard using which you can move the directory objects ( classical scenario's to Integrated configurations). Please use it for ID objects
Refer to the below blog for more details. (ignore blog's title. it's applicable for dual stack-> dual stack too)
Moving Integration Directory Artifacts from dual stack to single stack
For ESR you can simply export and import the tpz file.

They can simply follow the installation guide and execute the post installation steps properly.

  • BI 7.0: Source System upgrade from R/3 Enterprise to ECC 6.0

    Background:
    I am relatively new to BW team and will be going through my 1st source system upgrade.
    We currently have BI 7.0 SPS 17 connected to source system R/3 Enterprise EP1.
    We are upgrading to the source system to ECC 6.0.
    In Development and QA Environments:
    we will have access to both old (R/3 Enterpirse) and the new (ECC 6.0) source systems.
    We have a opportunity to compare the BW Objects, data flow and data loading from
    both source systems.
    In Production, however, we will just upgrade over 3 days downtime.
    One Question that comes to mind in this regard...
    What sort of things, we should be checking for before and after upgrade in Dev/QA and in Prod environments and what tools are available that can help the analysis and validation process ?
    Some of the suggestions that were given to me include following points.
    Before Upgrade:
    1 Check data, taking pre images of it for testing with post upgrade.
    2. Perform proper analysis of Source system related BW objects.
      - A complete listing of actively used Datasources,.. etc.
    3. Make delta queues empty,
    Make sure that all existing deltas are loaded into BW.The last request delta must not deliver any data and must be green in the monitor.
    4. Stop Process chains from BI (remove from schedule) and collection runs from R/3 side
    After Upgrade:
    1 After the OLTP upgrade, refer to note 458305 and other notes that are relevant to the actual upgrade
    (depending on the R/3 system release / R/3 plug-in to BI plug-in compatibility).
    2. Check logical system connections. Transactions SMQS, RSMO and SM59, If no access, then we can use Program RSRFCPIN_NEW for RFC Test.
    3. Check and/or Activate control parameters for data transfer. SBIW ---> General Settings --->
    Maintain Control Parameters for Data Transfer
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/51/85d6cf842825469a51b9a666442339/frameset.htm
    4. Check for Changes to extract structures in LBWE Customizing Cockpit 
        - OSS Notes 328181, 396647, 380078 and 762951
    5. Check if all the required transfer structures are active. See OSS Note 324520 for mass activation.
    7. Check if all Source system related BW Objects are active - Transfer rules, Communication rules, update rules,DTPs,..etc. 
    Below is a link for some useful programs in this regard.
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/pages/viewpage.action&pageid=35458
    6. Test all important datasources using RSA3 and check for OLTP Datasources changes .
    As soon as BW notices that the time stamp at the DataSource in the OLTP is newer than the one in the transfer structure, it requests replication of the DataSource and activation of the transfer structure. Transfer the relevant DataSources only if required, and transfer only the ones that have changed (RSA5 -> Delta).
    7. Create Data flow objects (trnasfer rules, infopackages, trnasformations, DTPs) for the Replicate
    new/changed datasources,if needed. 
    8. Check all CMOD enhancements.
    If we are using a customer exit with the extractor in the OLTP, see Note 393492.
    7. Check for unicode (all custom programs or Function Modules for DataSources)
    5.  Check all the queues in RSA7, start delta runs and test data consistency.
    For delta problems:In the BW system, start the 'RSSM_OLTP_INIT_DELTA_UPDATE' program for the DataSource and the source (OLTP) system for which the init selections are then transferred from BW into the ROOSPRMSC and ROOSPRMSF tables in the source system so that the delta can continue.
    9. Take back up of data posted during upgrade for contingency planing.
    10. Run the entire set of process chains once if possible and let it pick up no data or the usual master data.
    Since we have lot of experts in this forum, who have probably gone through such scenario many times, i wanted to request you to Please Please advise if i have stated anything incorrectly or if i am missing additional steps, OSS Notes, important details...

    Thanks Rav for your detailed post and very helpful contribution by posting all the information you had regarding the upgrade.
    We have similar scenario -
    We are upgrading our source system from 4.7 to ECC 6.0. We have our BI system with BI 7.0 at support pack 19 (SAPKW70019).
    Our strategy in ECC deployment  ->
    In development we copied our old DEV 4.7 system DXX to new ECC system DXY (new system ID).
    In production we are going to use same system PRXX upgraded from 4.7 to ECC.
    Now we are in testing phase of ECC with all interfaces like BI in Dev.
    My questions are below ->
    How can we change/transfer mapping of all our datasources in Dev BW system BID to new ECC dev system DXY (Eg. Logical system LOGDXY0040) from Old dev system DXX (Eg. Logical system LOGDXX0040). We donot want to create new datasources or change all transfer rules/Infosources for old BW3.x solutions on our BI.
    Also in new ECC sourcesystem copy  we see all datasources in Red in RSA7 transaction. Do we need to initialize again all the datasources from our BW BID system.
    Is there any easy way for above scenario ?
    Please let me know if you have any further helpful information during your ECC 6.0 upgrade connecting to BI 7.0 system.
    I have found some other links which have some pieces of information regarding the topic -
    Upgrade R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0 already in BI 7.0

  • New Build with Operating System upgrade from ME to XP

    I am going to inbark on my first system build.  THe MSI K8N Neo4 Platinium is highly recommended.  I am not going to do a complete rebuild.  I am just going to keep my newest hardward from my old system.  My old processer a P3 933mhz along with moboard is at the core of my upgrade.  I noticed on the K8N page that the board does not support ME.  My old system (Gateway) shipped with ME for which I purchased the XP upgrade.  I understand that the XP upgrade disk has the full operating system on it and all I have to do is put the ME disk in when the XP disk asks for previous operating system.  Will this board be able to recognize the ME disk so that it will pass muster with the XP upgrade disk?

    Quote from: Edddd on 02-July-05, 21:15:37
    Thank you both for the prompt reply, what are your thoughts about the K8N Neo4 Platinium mobo? Is it as good as Tom's Hardware says it is? I am planning on intalling an AMD Athlon 64 3700 San Diego on it. I am not a real power gamer. I just want something that will antincipate the future. My current rig, P3 933mhz has lasted me for 5 years. Thanks
    The MSI K8N NEO 4 Platinum is a very stable board, has a good range of features, is highly overclockable and is just great. I think mine is great so far and I suggest you buy a decent power supply with 22A - 24A minimum on the +12V rail to make sure it lasts and worls 100% correctly.
    If you need any more help just ask!

  • Solaris 7 system upgrade from Sun 60?

    We need to replace a Sun 60 on a large system and want to upgrade to a faster machine but we MUST stay with Solaris 7. We started looking at the 1000, 1500 and 2500 but they seem not to support Solaris 7. Can anyone tell me the fastest workstation that supports Solaris 7.
    Edited by: shadow83 on Oct 21, 2008 7:49 AM

    You will likely be limited to the Ultra-80 / E420R / Netra 1405 series of systems.
    They all use the same systemboard and can have as many as four 450MHz US-II processors.
    You can install as much as 4GB of RAM to them as well.
    The U80/E420R/N1405 systems were all discontinued in 2002.
    They will therefore be rather inexpensive to buy as used machines from web sites such as Ebay.
    All newer models will need a newer version of Solaris.
    Solaris 7 just wouldn't know how to make the newer hardware function.
    It was disontinued in 2003.

  • UPGRADE from 1.8 G5 - to a Dual 3.0 Intel MacPro

    Hi guys, sometime after Christmas, I'm going to be be upgrading to one of the MacPro machines. I just wanted to get some feedback from people here that own and have been using their MacPro machine for a little while now.
    I'm thinking of going with the dual 3.0 Ghz model - is there any reason I shouldn't? Is there a faster one soon approaching that I should wait for? etc etc.
    Also - I know a lot of my programs proably aren't going to run on the new machine - I've heard that Adobe CS1 won't run under Rosetta from some - and then others say it will? Kinda confused on this.
    Also I play games from time to time - I have UT2004, Doom 3, video game emulators...etc etc will these now not work on a MacPro? Are there patches I'll have to install to make then Intel native? Am I going to have to re-purchase them? groan
    Any help you guys can provide me with is much appreciated. Thanks!

    Hi Paul, first and foremost I recommend the move to the Mac Pro. you'll notice a significant performance boost from startup to the everyday use of your system and applications (even in Rosetta).
    But there are some things you should think about:
    A faster processor is bound to be a bummer sooner then you'll expect, but the architecture of the Mac Pro is going to stick around for a while now so save some bucks on Ghz and invest in A-lot of RAM (4GB at least).
    A better Graphics card then the standard Nvidia 7300 is a must for heavy-duty scientific use (and for gaming) but I wouldn't go as far as the Nvidia Quadro and settel for the excellent card by ATI.
    A substantial boost in performance (and a lasting one for your next systems as well) can be gained by setting a RAID -0 Consisting of two drives logically defined as one. Setup is a snap and the benefit for disk intensive tasks is incredible.
    try this short MacWorld piece for details:
    http://www.macworld.com/2006/10/features/macprohd/index.php
    Now about software, the real performance benefit will be naturally gained in Universal applications that take full advantage of the Mac's multi-processor capabilities.
    But I have been using Adobe's Photoshop CS1 on my Mac Pro and it works just fine (and fast enough with RAID), the vast majority of software I use already have online free upgrades and I bet this will be the case with most games (UR tournament and Doom for sure)
    Overall it's without a doubt the best piece of hardware I ever used, Software transition pains and all...
    Hope you found out something new.

  • Related to Upgrade from 9.3.1 to 11 version

    Hi Experts,
    I need to upgrade from 9.3.1 to 11.1.1.3/11.1.2.1.
    I know recommeded to install on new servers;
    1) What if client ask to upgrade (no new server) on existing one.
    2) How to handle if we have already Tomca Appache (app server) on 9.3.1 and now 11 doesn't support.
    what points to keep in mind with these two challenges to reduce some complexity.
    Regards
    Kumar

    I think your question is not one that can always be answered quickly on a forum but it is worth you having a read of the following on Oracle support - "Upgrade Advisor: Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) System Upgrade from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.1 [ID 324.1]"
    Yes it is 11.11.3 to 11.1.2.1 but it goes through all the different stages from evaluation to acceptance, the information provided is relevant to other versions.
    It is possible to upgrade from on the same server, tomcat is no longer supported so the web app server used will be weblogic.
    There is also details in the documentation about upgrading - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/epm_install_11121/frameset.htm?ch05.html

  • Splitting System Copy on BI Dual stack

    Hi,
    We are planning to split Our BI Dual stack system.
    1) To perform ABAP system copy through Oracle tools.
    2) To perform Java system copy through Sapinst and them import in to the system copy performed in step 1.
    Could some one help me out, can we go ahead or not.

    Hi,
    > We are planning to split Our BI Dual stack system.
    > 1) To perform ABAP system copy through Oracle tools.
    If you use backup/restore method to build your ABAP system then you should know that Java Schema is also present in the database, so, after restore you need to drop Java schema as well or you can do this before restoring the system in source system then take backup and restore this backup on target system.
    > 2) To perform Java system copy through Sapinst and them import in to the system copy performed in step 1.
    >
    Yes, you can do that. But I really doubt to use this method to build your production system. I would recommend following approach:
    1) Install new As Java system with different <SID>.
    2) Migrate all existing functionality of your existing As Java system to new As Java system. Do all the testing to check all the scenarios.
    3) Drop As Java from your dual stack system.
    Also, check below threads:

  • Hi i upgrade from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am getting no sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever

    Hi i upgraded from lion to mountain lion to day on my mini mac,Since the upgrade i am no longer getting sound through my HDMI cable which was working fine on lion Checked the midi audio settings and system preferences to out on HDMi nothing no sound whats so ever.Any one any ideas?
    I use a samsung TV for my monitor via HDMI.Tried all the system Audi setting nothing .Head phone and internal speakers are fine.

    Similar issue; Audio was working fine on Lion, now not on Mountain Lion. Have a Macbook Pro early 2011 with AMD Radeon HD 6750M, connected by thunderbolt through a Lacie LBD to a mini-displayport to HDMI adapter (n.b. same problem when not going through the LBD) to a Pioneer VSX 521 AV receiver. For me when I go into audio Midi settings all the volume sliders for the displayport device are greyed out and at zero. But when I click 'configure speakers', it's able to send out the test signals to each speaker. Part of the problem could be that I'm not getting the option to put out 6channel sound, only 2 or 8 channel. Since my system is Dolby 5.1, and I only have 6 speakers, I would have expected the 6ch option to be available. But I imagine there's more to it than that. Elsewhere someone has suggested playing with Remote Interactive over HD on an Onkyo device; I'll see if there's something similar on the Pioneer that can be changed. Any other suggestions welcome.

  • I've read similar questions and answers, but I am still terrified to upgrade from leopard to snow leopard. The only reason I want to is because I received an iPad which requires an updated system. I have an external hard drive. I have the disks to upgrade

    I've read similar questions and have studied the answers, but I am still terrified to upgrade from leopard to snow leopard on my macbook pro. The only reason for doing it is in order to sync my macbook pro with my iPad. I do have an external drive which automatically backs up every hour. BUT.......I am techno-ignorant as well as techno-paranoid. I have the disks to update to snow leopard but knowing doing so may likely change/alter/lose/obliterate my current set-up, it actually makes me feel sick to think of it.
    Years ago when updating via Apple Protection Plan tech support, my screen actually went blank, everything gone! The tech told me not to worry, that "we" would be able to restore things, but several hours later I was still looking at a primitive looking screen that wasn't anything like what I had before. His language was too technical, in that there was an assumption I understood things I had zero understanding of. Example: partition my external drive.
    Anyway, living hundreds of miles from an Apple service provider, and no Apple techs in my community, I had to wait for a trip to an Apple Store where one of the wonderful guys at the genius bar spent a ton of time getting things back to normal and actually explaining it enough that I had a vague understanding.
    So now I am in the predicament again and won't know what to do after installing the new disks and finding a likely mess or absence of documents etc. on my computer. I don't know how to access the external drive, and even if I did I wouldn't know how to move stuff from that to my computer.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    I'm in the same boat as you, I've used Mac's since day one and neglected my Windows education and now it has come to haunt me as I have to learn it like a school kid.
    Nearly 99% of all businesses and nearly 95% of everyone use Windows, Steve Jobs declared "The desktop wars are over, Microsoft won" a long time ago.
    By 2015 tablets are going to be selling to consumers more than traditional computers, your living proof, you got a iPad.
    Apple has already discontinued the Xserver, the Xraid, the MacBooks and the 17" Macbook Pro.
    Apple has introduced BootCamp in OS X 10.6 and up, this allows a partition and drivers so one can install Windows on a Mac.
    https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    Why do you think they named it "BootCamp"
    You can't run a older OS X version longterm like you have with 10.5 anymore, Mac's are being targeted for attacks and older OS X versions are dropped for security updates.
    In fact your Mac might still be part of the 750,000 Mac strong Flashback botnet or infected.

    http://arstechnica.com/apple/2012/04/how-to-check-forand-get-rid-ofa-mac-flashba ck-infection/
    See here, Apple has no security updates for 10.5 users and soon 10.6 is going to be ignored next.
    https://support.apple.com/kb/ht1222
    1-1.5 years is the OS X upgrade cycle. Change everytime like it or not.
    So I'm thinking about your long term future and how you obviously don't like change, need local assistance like it appears you first claimed.
    So buy a new Mac and upgrade your OS X version whenever Apple shows it in AppStore.
    When your machine can no longer upgrade to the newest OS X version, then you've got about another 2 more years of security updates before you have to buy a new machine or risk running a insecure one.
    Learn here how to go about fixing your own machine and creating backups/bootable clones this way your not having to drive several hundred miles for a software or boot drive repair. Simply reverse clone your troubles away.

    I'm of the maturity and experience that I know a Mac isn't always the best solution for everyone and even Apple doesn't provide the proper hardware, support or features for everyone. Why only store locations in high traffic ritzy areas?
    Our SteveJobs fan here is under 18 years old with good eyes, he's not older like we are with bad or failing eyesight.
    The new Mac's  have hard to see glossy screens and the type/UI can't be scaled up easily to accomadate our older eyes, however a Windows 7 machine does allow up to 150% scale of the UI, type etc., and also there are anti-glare screen PC's and just about no more anti-glare screen Mac's.
    I wrote this User tip in case you have trouble seeing the screen, at least you can scale the web browsing up
    Web browsing for hard of seeing users
    Apple might still be selling the anti-glare 15" non-retina on their online store, it's the "high resolution/anti-glare model"
    But I can get a 17" 1080i HD anti-glare Windows 7 laptop at Sager for a lot more performance and screen size for the price than a Mac.
    https://www.sagernotebook.com/index.php?page=category_browse&selected_cat=2
    Screen size is important as the UI and text can be scaled up for easier reading.
    Of course you do now have the option of having Windows pre-installed alongside OS X to begin your transition to the dark side.
    Just call and they will accomondate, hold the option/alt key at boot time to swtich operating systems.

    Windows 7 looks just as good as OS X, the secret is having a good monitor with most PC's come with don't.
    Good Luck and I hope I've given you a lot to think about.

  • I can't connect to Wi-Fi - keeps timing out. No problem connecting from other laptops / phones. Stopped working after I did a system upgrade. What can I do?

    I can't connect to Wi-Fi - keeps timing out. No problem connecting from other laptops / phones. Stopped working after I did a system upgrade. What can I do? I am on OS X Yosemite.

    Take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried, until the problem is resolved. Some of these steps are only possible if you have control over the wireless router.
    Step 1
    Turn Wi-Fi off and back on.
    Step 2
    Restart the router and the computer. Many problems are solved that way.
    Step 3
    Change the name of the wireless network, if applicable, to eliminate any characters other than letters and digits. You do that on your router via its web page, if it's not an Apple device, or via AirPort Utility, if it is an Apple device.
    Step 4
    Run the Network Diagnostics assistant.
    Step 5
    In OS X 10.8.4 or later, run Wireless Diagnostics and fix the issues listed in the Summary, if any.
    Step 6
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Enter the name of your wireless network in the search box. You should have one or more "AirPort network password" items with that name. Make a note of the name and password, then delete all the items. Quit Keychain Access. Turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. Reconnect to the network.
    Step 7
    You may need to change other settings on the router. See the guidelines linked below:
    Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
    Potential sources of interference
    Step 8
    Make a note of all your settings for Wi-Fi in the Network preference pane, then delete the connection from the connection list and recreate it with the same settings. You do this by clicking the plus-sign icon below the connection list, and selecting Wi-Fi as the interface in the sheet that opens. Select Join other network from the Network Name menu, then select your network. Enter the password when prompted and save it in the keychain.
    Step 9
    Reset the System Management Controller (SMC).

    I have just upgraded from Elements/Premiere elements 11 to version 12. I am running on a PC with Windows 7.

Where do I get a new one? I am getting REALLY REALLY fed up with trying to find an answer!!!!!!!!

  • Upgrading from old system - have storage/networking/Photos ?s

    Hello,
    I want to upgrade from an old system and have a few questions:
    1.)  What are the advantages and disadvantages of getting a Time Capsule vs getting an Airport Extreme and a non-Apple external (cheaper) hard drive?
    2.)  If I get a 1TB SSD internal, then I only need a 2TB, not 3TB, Time Capsule, right, if I do get a Time Capsule?
    3.)  Time Capsule backups are not bootable, right?
    4.)  I plan on keeping my photos, etc. off the main drive and on an external drive so I envision my set up as being one internal, one base external and a backup drive of the internal and a backup drive of the external.  If TC backups are indeed not bootable, then is it possible to partition my external hd into two sections, one that is bootable and one that is used to store the photos and other stuff?
    5.)  For those who are already using Photos, is it possible to have your Photos Library on an external disk and/or have multiple libraries or do you have to use a program like iPhoto Library Manager like before?
    6.)  Is there a way, that's not too expensive, to hook up an old Cinema HD Display that has a ADC connector to a thunderbolt iMac?
    7.)  I don't particularly like the new OS's flat-look, is there a way to customize how the OS looks?  I remember WAY back in the day one could almost totally change the way the OS looked (colors/dimensionality) and sounded.  Are there third party ways of doing that like before?
    THANKS in advance for any and all help!!!

    1 no, other then it's build in
    2 time machine is not a carbon copy it backup the state where you did not have file x yet and back up when you had file x and backup when you no longer had file x, given enough time it will fill up all backup drives, when it does you can draw a line in the sand and clear the backup and start from new with a backup of how the computer is at that given time.
    3 no
    5 yes but it has to be a drive that can be indexed so a nas would not work external drives such as usb, tb and the likes would
    6
    Connecting cinema display to mini mac
    more
    hook up ADC display with new mac
    7 not apart from downgrading the OS X to an older system or if you find some third party program which alters the look
