Report writer issue during upgrade from 4.6 to ecc6

Hi all,
On generating report of report writer through GR5G (we are regenerating because we were getting dump for this report after up gradation from 4.6c to ecc6)we found one syntax error. The error is in auto generated program we can see that error but cant fix it as it needs a key and maybe that might not also be the right method to resolve is as auto generated codes should not be touched . So what would I like to ask  is how can error come in auto generated program and how do I fix it (error is in data declaration QUOTDATE_MAX(08)                       TYPE C VALUE '). Here u can see that instead of ‘’ only ‘ is used there is no closing inverted comma.

Hi,
You  need to make sure that all your delta queues are empty before the upgrade.
In case of logistics make sure all v3 jobs are stopped and extract queues are empty.
After the upgrade make sure that the source systems are mapped and working correctly. Check that your delta queues are conneted to the correct BW system.
You need to test all your extractors as they might have changed (check release notes). Test delta loads to make sure they are working properly.
Cheers,
Kedar

  • Fund Management - Issues in Upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6

    Hello,
    We are upgrading SAP Application for a client who is on 4.6C to ECC6. The client is currently using Funds Management in 4.6C. With ECC6 I understand that this functionality is moved into Public Sector and is available only on activation of IS-PS Extension Set.
    The question I have is that does this activation impact any other business processes or is just a technical activation.
    What I mean is that if I activate this extension set does the system start doing things differently and needs specific data related to Public Sector which the business users will be required to be entered while doing transactions OR the activation will not impact business processes as such and would work as earlier with Funds management active. (except where there was a change in the functionality between 4.6C to ECC6)
    I would like to know the risks, if any involved in upgrading Funds Management from 4.6C to ECC6.
    Please reply and let me know any question to get more clarity on the issue.
    Best Regards
    Kuldeep

    Hi Kuldeep,
    There are several main issues that have to be addresses when upgrading from 4.6 to ECC6. The main ones are:
    1 - Derivations. The object are no longer connected through tables or master data entries (you may have a table that links Cost Centers to Funds Centers for example). These assignments are now maintained through a flexible derivation tool. These derivation rules have to be maintaind, or the posting addresses will have no FM values and you will not be able to post any documents.
    2 - Inventory purchases. The inventory purchases scenarios are no longer maintained through the customization (you can no longer choose one of the 4 inventory scenarios, and there's no warehouse Funds Center). These are all maintained through derivations.
    3 - BCS. There's a new budgeting and AVC tool called "Budget Control System" (BCS). You can either activate it, or keep working with the old budgeting (called "former" in the customization). The new BCS affords flexibility in budgeting and AVC, including several AVC ledgers.
    More data regarding migrations can be found in documentation. If you want, I can send you the PDF document.

  • Abap issues when upgrading from 4.7 to ecc6.0

    hello All,
    I am posting this question with intention of general issues we face that are abap related when upgrade from 4.7 to ECC6.0,
    do the programs ahve to be adjusted, if sumone cud also throw some light on what is unicode and wat role does it play in the upgrade,
    some specific examples wud be appreciated
    thanks,
    RS

    hi,
    Go through this
    Unicode is an international standard that assigns characters from virtually every
    language and script a unique Unicode Scalar Value, which is a number written in
    hexadecimal notation.
         Character     Unicode Scalar Value     Unicode Character Name
         A      U+0041          LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
         Ä     U+00C4          LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS
         α     U+03B1          GREEK SMALL LATTER ALPHA
    Implementing the Unicode standard enables a single software product or a single
    web site to be accessed across multiple platforms, languages, and countries without
    the need for re-engineering. It allows data to be transferred across many different
    SAP and non-SAP systems without corruption. To meet these requirements, the SAP
    Unicode team continues to promote Unicode-enabled SAP systems, aid their
    installation, and provide tools and full technical support for the smooth
    conversion of existing SAP non-Unicode systems to Unicode.

  • Report Layout Changed After Upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6

    Dear Gurus,
    I do functional test of every process in ECC6 after upgrade from 4.6C. I found all report layout changed without variant (it's happen to all Query/SQ01 reports ). So I've to assign manually the fields for the reports, and create a default variant then.
    Why it happen ? Is there configuration or setting missed or this is standard while we do upgrade ?
    Thx in advance.

  • ABAP Code Changes During Upgrade from 4.7C to ECC6

    Hi all,
    I'm in process of collecting information for our next upgrade.
    We are on 4.7C and are planning to upgrade to ECC6. We wanted to know what changes shall be required on ABAP side during this upgrade. e.g. certain ABAP commands which are obselete, few tables , few fucntional modules being obselete.
    Any specific functional areas/transcation codes being obselete which in turn would make Uer Exit redudant etc.....
    Could somebody please help me out with some info regarding this upgrade? Some links or any hint you can give would help me a lot. (Whether technical or functional..all very welcome!).

  • Report printing issue after upgrading from LV 8.2 to LV 2009

    Hello,
    I am upgrading an application from LabView 8.2 to LabView 2009. It uses the Report Generation Toolkit to create reports based on Word templates. The reports are pretty complicated, with a lot of bookmarks, tables, and graphs, but only one page long.
    The reports are generated correctly. However when sent to printing (using Print report.vi), the printer goes into spooling status and if you are patient enough you may get the report after at least 7 minutes. I tried changing the printer setting to "Print directly to the printer", as per an old KnowledgeBase article. No luck. I have installed a local printer. No luck again.
    If I close the LabView application while the printer is shown in spooling status, the report prints right away, every time.
    Never had this issue in LabView 8.2. On that machine I had Office XP. Now I have Office 2007...
    I do not get any error whatsoever, and I cannot figure out where the solution may be.
    I have one single report that prints right away every time I try. Coincidence or not, this is the only one that has no tables to print. It has graph though and plenty of bookmarks.
    I have exhausted all the ideas on how to deal with this situation, and I must find a solution ASAP. Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Brandon,
    Thanks for your input.
    Not sure how I can use it to narrow down the problem though. I ran it, and I see that the printers are correctly identified, the default one is correctly found, however absolutely nothing is being printed out (I typed a text in the string control, and the Print control was on).
    Everything runs with no errors. I would prefer to see a bunch of errors ...

  • Can we activate Classic General Ledger in ECC6.0 during upgrade from 4.6C

    Dear SAP Gurus,
    Greetings
    My Client's technical team had upgraded their system from 4.6C to ECC6.0 and they had activated classic GL instead of New GL. And they had also activated classic withholding tax in place of Extended Withholding tax.
    They are facing some error during posting of transactions (like generation of excise invoices, posting of WHT transactions, etc.) I told that it can be a reason of not activating New GL.
    Is my understanding correct...?? Can we activate classic GL during upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6.0...??
    In case of a new client built (with ECC6.0), can we activate the classic GL instead of the New GL..??
    Does the system will work correctly in the long run if they had activated classic GL and classic WHT...??
    Please clarify. Thanks in advance for your time and efforts
    Regards,
    Chaps
    P.S. Points will be awarded for answers !!

    Hi,
    I think that you should read long text of OSS note 999614 carfully and you are
    aware of the fact that you will have additional migration efforts in
    case you need to migrate to new G/L later on.
    In case you are convinced that  this is the best way please feel free
    to deactivate new G/L as described in note 999614.
    Please make sure that you deactivate new G/L in all clients of your
    new system in case there were already client copies done.
    Yes this is possible and I would not automatically assume that
    error during posting of transactions are due to New GL not being activated.
    Note 756146 documents the issue and possible repercussions
    of using Classic GL.
    In the case of a new installation the new G/L accounting
    is active by default in ERP. In principle, the use
    of the classic GL is also possible for new customers, however,
    SAP does not recommend it since this requires an additional
    migration expense in later years.

  • Performance issue after Upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 with a select query

    Hi All,
    There is a Performance issue after Upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 with a select query in a report painter.
    This query is working fine when executed in 4.7 system where as it is running for more time in ECC6.0.
    Select query is on the table COSP.
    SELECT (FIELD_LIST)
            INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE I_COSP PACKAGE SIZE 1000
            FROM  COSP CLIENT SPECIFIED
            WHERE GJAHR IN SELR_GJAHR
              AND KSTAR IN SELR_KSTAR
              AND LEDNR EQ '00'
              AND OBJNR IN SELR_OBJNR
              AND PERBL IN SELR_PERBL
              AND VERSN IN SELR_VERSN
              AND WRTTP IN SELR_WRTTP
              AND MANDT IN MANDTTAB
            GROUP BY (GROUP_LIST).
       LOOP AT I_COSP      .
         COSP                           = I_COSP      .

         CLEAR: $RWTAB, COSP                          .
         CLEAR CCR1S                         .
       ENDLOOP.
    ENDSELECT.
    I have checked with the table indexes, they were same as in 4.7 system.
    What can be the reson for the difference in execution time. How can this be reduced without adjusting the select query.
    Thanks in advance for the responses.
    Regards,
    Dedeepya.

    Hi,
    ohhhhh....... lots of problems in select query......this is not the way you should write it.
    Some generic comments:
    1. never use SELECT
                       endselect.
       SELECT
      into table
       for all entries in table
      where.
       use perform statment after this selection.
    2. Do not use into corresponding fields. use exact structure type.
    3. use proper sequence of fields in the where condition so that it helps table go according to indexes.
        e.g in your case
              sequence should be
    LEDNR
    OBJNR
    GJAHR
    WRTTP
    VERSN
    KSTAR
    HRKFT
    VRGNG
    VBUND
    PARGB
    BEKNZ
    TWAER
    PERBL
    sequence should be same as defined in table.
    Always keep select query as simple as possible and perform all other calculations etc. afterwords.
    I hope it helps.
    Regards,
    Pranaya

  • Theme issues during upgrade - EP 6 to EP 7

    Dear experts,
    We recently did an upgrade from EP 6 to EP 7. We are using the EFP to host some websites. Now we have an issue that in one of the sites we have a TLN iview that do not take the theme. The theme looks fine in other couple of sites we have hosted similarly.
    Can someone suggest what could I do to fix this?
    I have tried reimporting the Iview from an old EP6 system. Also I tried recreating the iview. I have no clue as why we do not have theme in this particlular iview.
    Hope somebody has a clue. Do we have any document about the known issues while upgrading from EP6 to EP7?
    regards,
    Noufal

    The issue was with the masthead iview. Seems the masthead file was corrupted during transport.

  • Stability issues after upgrade from 5 to 6.1?

    Dear all,
    my client plans to upgrade from WLS 5 to 6.1 soon. The application is
    an intranet portal with Epicentric and Vignette used as additional
    products.
    However, some voices say that 6.1 has stability issues. Well, these
    statements are rumours and lack any proof or even anecdotal evidence I
    have heard of, and therefore it is very difficult to respond
    appropriately.
    Having said this, my questions are:
    - Did any of you have stability issues after upgrading from 5 to 6.1
    on Solaris?
    - If yes, what were they and how did you solve them (e.g. upgrade to
    SP 5)?
    - In 1-2 sentences, what is the context of the application?
    My goal is to present a evidence that the romoured stability issues
    don't exist or/and a list of meastures to avoid/solve them, if any.
    Many thanks in advance

    show that the tp and R3trans used by the source 470 system are old.
    You should download the latest tp and R3trans for kernel 470, and
    replace the old tp and R3trans with the downloaded ones under the 470 kernel directory. The 470 kernel directory is specified by parameter DIR_EXECUTABLE which is usually /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run.
    Please note that there is also a kernel directory under /<DIR_PUT>/<SID>/SYS/exe which is for the the target system 700. Please do not replace tp and R3trans under this directory with the ones downloaded for kernel 470.
    NO, you cannot update SAP Kernel from 4.7 sr2 to NW7.0 without upgrading even started. Kernel upgrade will be done by SAPup automatically.

  • PU19 PDF/SAPScript issue in upgrade between 4.7 to ECC6.0

    We are upgrading from 4.7 to ECC6.0. ADS is setup for PDF format. When I run Tax reporter, in the log, I see W2 is getting generated under both PDF format and SAPScript format. Actually creates spool for W2 on both formats (Forms generated in PDF and also in SAPScript format). How do I stop the W2 statement NOT to create in SAPScript format. and Create only in PDF format. Any help please.
    Thanks, Raj

    Config view V_T5UX7 for tax form 'HR_F_W2' . Delimit alternate form HR_F_W2' (having Sapscript radio button selected) and any forms you no longer want Sapscript to create with an early end date (e.g. 12/31/2007).

  • Upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6.0 - development quality and production

    Upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6.0
    I have got three systems right now...
    Development(D1)     Quality(Q1)    Production(P1).
    These three systems need to be upgraded to ECC6.0
    The recommended process is to copy D1 to a new temporary server(D2) and
    then upgrade it. At the time of the copy we will have to run the transactions
    SPDD and SPAU for which the one one transport requests will be created.
    Now after the complete upgradation we will be running the UCCCHECK and SCUV.
    The problem is after running this process we are going to copy the Quality(Q1)
    to a new quality system Q2. Now the code in the D2 system is unicode complaint with all the
    same functionalities as in D1.
    How to get all the change and customizing objects which is updated in the D2 system
    to the Q2 system (only the relevant ones - this will also ensure for PRD as the same process could be followed)?
    Or else do we have to repeat the process for both the new quality(Q2) and new production(P2)
    systems?
    Useful answers will be rewarded accordingly....

    Hi,
    If you do SPDD and SPAU changes to create unique transports (as per upgrade guide) so the Q2 upgrade will have it embeded during the upgrade process then you should not have any problem because after the D2 combined upgrade (unicode and Technical Upgrade) the system will be in Unicode, UCCHECK is to check unicode compatibility as long as I know. You won´t need to use SPDD and SPAU again in Q2.
    Also you could do Upgrade to D2, run UCCHECK and SCOV and then create all changes to objects that needs to be changed to create requests. Then do Q2 upgrade and when is finished then you move every transport you need from D2 to Q2 to do the necesary tests, it should not take much time. In the upgrades I know and done this is the way the changes were moved up to PRD, we have never used the unique transport request mentioned in the Guide. During Quality tests developers and funtional consultants will need to keep doing changes until everything is OK so even if you create unique requests, you will also have to transport after PRD upgrade.
    Either way you won't need to run SPDD and SPAU after D2 upgrade.
    Good luck
