Portal Upgrade from EP6.0sp10 to EP6.0sp18

Hi All,
I am totally new to portal upgrade.we have current version of portal as follows:
portal version is: 6.0.10.2.0
KMC version is : 6.0.10.1.0 (NW04 SPS10 Patch 1)
Trex Version : 6.1.10.01
1. I am little confuse about whats the difference between Upgrading from EP6.0sp10 to "EP6.0sp18/ NW04sp18".Is the process for doing above is same or different.
2. I heard from SAP that TREX must be upgraded first before KMC and Portal.Is it true? whats is reason for that
?what should be latest SP and patch for TREX?any documents?
3. Is there any specific sequence to upgrade like TREX->WAS>portal>KMC?
4. What about customisations objects,will that be seriously affected after upgrade?How to prevent that?
can anybody give the Basic knowledge of upgrade and process flow.
Thanks in Advance.Help will be greatly appreciated.
Amit

Hi Amit,
EP6 SP18 ist the actual Service Pack for Enterprise Portal. NW04 SPS(!) 18 is the complete Service Pack Stack for the NetWeaver platform. So if you want SP18 for your portal installation, you should get the whole NetWeaver platform in use for that to SPS18 (as you wrote, for EP this is normally WAS, EP, KM, TREX, eventually NWDS).
TREX normally has the same counting as the rest, but in fact at the moment there is no SP18 for TREX, but it is renumbered again. The actual version reads TREX 6.1 Patch 26.
Sequence is WAS -> portal -> KMC -> TREX. Anyhow, you should not await a stable version if using mixed SPs, especially if mixing 10 with 18 So get all in line and then restart working with your installation.
As you normally shouldn't have customized standard objects but copied them into your own namespace and worked on these, there shouldn't be a problem. If you haven't gone this way, with such an update you will learn how urgent it is to keep this in mind --- never change standard objects...
Hope it helps

Portal Upgrade Issues

Hi,
1.Our client is currently in EP6.2.0 and we are upgrading to ECC6.0 and BI 7.0 is there any necessity to upgrade EP to 2004s(EP 7.0)?
Do u recommend staying in same version or is it good to upgrade the EP7.0?
2.If we upgrading portal to EP7.0 having back end is CRM 4.0, will the portal upgrade support CRM 4.0. Or should we upgrade CRM 4.0 t CRM 5.0?
2.In order to estimate the complexity of a portal upgrade, what are the portal items that were customized I should consider.
Thanks In Advance,
Dheepa

Hi Dheepa,
First of all, if you are going to ECC6.0 its is mandatory that you move to the 7.0 platform (EP7 on 2004s) since the business packages and XSS applications are not supported for any other platform. So yes, upgrade you must.
In terms of CRM i am not qualified to advise. I suggest investigating the PAM and perhaps posting in the CRM forums.
When looking at the complexity of the upgrade you need to consider how many customized applications you have in place. If you use the KM solution there is a bit of work to do. Have a read through the upgrade guides and you will get a good feel for what issues you may face.
You may like to consider installing a fresh instance of EP7 and new deployment of the XSS applications onto it, since you are shifting from ITS to WebDynpro in the process. This ofcourse will depend on your analysis of your current environment and the new install vs' upgrade effort.
I would tend to lean towards a fresh installation if possible since this way you have a clean instance and can probably shift to 64bit OS and reap all the benifits that follow.
Cheers

Portal upgrade challanges from 7.0 to 7.1.1 (Netweaver CE EPH1)

Hello Everybody,
We are thinking of portal upgrade in our landscape. We are using EP 7.0 SP14 right now and planning to upgrade the portal becuase of some known issues.
While, deciding to upgrade, we have two options:
1. Upgrade to EP 7.0 SPS21
2. Upgrade to EP 7.1.1 (NetWeaver CE EPH1)
We are evaluating which one whould be the better option.
Did anybody do upgrade from EP7.0 to EP 7.1.1 recently? If yes, did you face any challanges?
If you can post those challanges over here, it would be helpful for me as well as others to know what to consider when upgrading the system.
In our Portal system, we have not done any development work for portal. Most of the changes are configuration related which invloves below:
1. Iview, pages, worksets, roles creation
2. XML forms creation for home page contents
3. UWL configuration for GP
4. GP process configuration
5. SSO implementation with different backend systems
6. MDM business package
7. SRM business package
Please let me know if you have faced any challanges while doing upgrade from EP 7.0 to EP 7.1.1.
Thanks,
Bhavik

Thanks for the response.
Can you please let me know what kind of challanges you faced and what all points do we have to keep in mind while doing it?
It would help me to streamline the activities while doing the upgrade.
Thanks,
Bhavik

Richard,
You'll need to have 1.0.2.2 to be installed on the middle tier before performing the upgrade for your portal 3.0.9 upgrade repository on the database end. So that means, you'll need to wait for the Linux download of iAS 1.0.2.2 to be available before beginning your upgrade of the portal repository, assuming that your middle tier of iAS is also on a Linux box.
iAS 1.0.2.2 does indeed include Portal 3.0.9, of which Portal 3.0.9 components will be installed during the upgrade process along with the upgrade of the middle tier. During the upgrade process, the installer (from my personal experience on NT), will notify you that it is performing an upgrade installation of your middle tier, provided that you specified the middle tier's ORACLE_HOME when executing the oracle installer.
Just be sure to read and follow the 9iAS Migration guide before beginning your upgrade of the middle tier to iAS 1.0.2.2. After upgrading the middle tier to 1.0.2.2, the actual upgrade of the portal repository was extremely simple by comparison.
The upgrade of the portal repository took a few hours (my recommendation is to invoke it off before leaving for the evening), and it will leave a detailed logfile for you to peruse afterwards, if you choose).
Best Regards,
Harry

Portal Upgrade from Nw04 6.0 to Nw04s 7.0

Hi all,
Im trying to perform the portal upgrade from version 6.0 Nw04 SP 19 to version 7.0 Nw04s.
During the preparation I obtain the following error:
#Java###The software component com.wilytech.jmxservice/wilytech.com could not be read from the BC_COMPVERS table; the table schema may be outdated. Fix it and then repeat the phase from the beginning.##
I have implemented note n 873624 in order to align the keyname and the keyvendor in sap manifest.mf but with no luck, the detect start release component fails with the same error.
Any suggestion?
Thanks and regards

Portal Upgrade Failure

Hi!
I ran the portal upgrade script against a copy of my production database to bring it up from 3.0.8.9.8 to 3.0.9. About an hour after the script was running, the database abruptly came down. When I looked in the altert log, there were numerous ORA-07445, ORA-12805 and ORA-00600 errors that only materialized after this upgrade script started running. It filled my system up with thousands of trace files and core subdirectories which I had to delete but the filesystem never filled up. Now I can open the database but it won't stay open for very long before it abruptly shuts down. Here's a startup from my alert log:

I am running Oracle 8.1.7, 9iAS 1.0.2.0.1 (have a separate 1.0.2.2 which I'll point to the upgraded portal), and Solaris 2.7. There were no errors in the alert log before I started the upgrade script.
Has anyone else upgrading just their portal from 3.0.8.9.8 to 3.0.9 experienced this difficulty. Thank GAWD this wasn't my prod portal...
Much thanks for any reply....Kate

Thank you Bob! My problem turned out to be that the database backup I used to restore a database copy was actually taken outside of my backup window before the database was shutdown. I should have known that using the init profile allowcorrupted_logs was a harbinger of worse things. Anyway, since the database was completely destroyed by the upgrade script, I used the next week's backup to restore a copy of the databse -- this time with much better results. The upgrade script worked fine after this.
Thanks for the heads up on the bug though. It will probably be useful. Thanks again.

Portal Upgrade Project Duration

I am in the middle of providing an estimate for the portal upgrade project.
My portal landscape has 3 environments: Dev, QA and Prod and KM/Trex is used but we are not using Collaboration/Unification.
I know this question is not easy to answer, because it depends on so many factors, but usually there are statistics around average duration of R/3 upgrade based on sampling of upgrade projects that SAP keeps.
So is SAP maintaining such statistics and are they available?
If they are not available, based on your upgrade experiences, what is the high level estimate of an average duration of a portal upgrade project going from EP5.0 SP5 Win/SQL to NW04 Unix/Oracle?
Thanks in advance for any insights you might share with me.

It depends on your landscape configuration especially if it comes to migrating KMC. Basically, you would go through three stages: KMC migration tool, EP migration tool, manual post migration steps.
The first step depends on the amount of content in KMC and on the bandwidth of the data path from the source to the target db (disk and network i/o). I've seen fast infrastructures moving more than 20gb per hour and slow test system with source and target db on the same machine with a slow disk running at less then 500mb per hour.
The second step, the EP migration tool usually completes in less than 4 hours, sometime much faster.
Going through the manual post migration steps depends on various things, mostly on familiarity with the system's administration; usually it takes less than a day.
What I would suggest is a 'test' migration with data from your production system, for example a copy restored from the latest backup. On less powerfull test system hardware that gives a good upper boundary for running the tools without causing any productive downtime.
Two additional remarks:
1) you might want to consider migrating to SP14 directly; there will be no further fixes for SR1. And upgrading from
SR1 to SP13 or SP14 after the migration adds to the production downtime.
2) make sure that the source system is at the minimum required patch level; detailed info on this is to be found in the migration guides.

Portal Upgrade scripts???

Where have the portal upgrade scripts gone???

Portal upgrade

Guys,
We have a windows NW04 Portal landscape and are planning to upgrade it. In order to build a sandbox landscape which we shall be used to run a test upgrade, we took a image of the development portal backend, frontend, ITS server and R/3. Once these images were copied over to newer windows servers (except R3 which is AIX), we began changing the hostnames on profiles, parameter files, environment variables etc.
Issue:
Message Server refuses to start. In the logs I see that it is trying to start with START_SCS01_<OLDHOSTNAME> instead of START_SCS01_<NEWHOSTNAME> and so is sapcpe too. I have checked all the profiles in the directory and all the instances of oldhostname are already changed to newer hostname. The environment variables and the registry has been modified too however no luck.
Has anyone encountered similar issue?
Also can anyone please post the approach he/she used to do portal upgrade from NW04 to NW2007.
Thanks.

Hi!
You cannot change the hostname of a java-Stack (like for a Portal) by simply changing profiles. You need to stick with the old hostnames if you want to use the 'cloning' procedure or you need to do a proper system copy with sapinst to the new hostname. Another option could be to follow the note that describes how to change the hostname of a Java-Stack - for a sandbox this could be ok, but maybe it's worth rethinking this and using the system-copy tools that will do the job for you (and will do it properly and in a supported fashion).
Kind regards,
Jörg

Portal upgrade without iAS upgrade

I have upgraded my Portal instance from 3.0.6 to 3.0.6.
But I didn't upgrade my iAS instance, and I got this message at login:
"Call to WPG_SESSION API Failed.Error-Code:6550"
I read somewhere that the problem might be, that I didn't upgrade iAS 1.0.2.0-> 1.0.2.2
Is it possible to use only the mod_plsql module of the iAS 1.0.2.2 with the upgraded Portal 3.0.8?
Will it work, or I must upgrade my whole iAS to 1.0.2.1 and to 1.0.2.2. Then why give Oracle the Portal upgrade script?
Thanks.
Paszty

Thank you for your quick answer.
I've got another question.
Where can I find the iAS upgrade scripts?
We have got iAS 1.0.2.1 and 1.0.2.2 install CDs, but we didn't find any upgrade options.
We have got now an upgraded Portal 3.0.8. Which iAs upgrade must we use? 1.0.2.1 or 1.0.2.2 or both?
Thank you.
