SAP R/3 System analysis before upgrade 4.6C -- SAP ECC 6.0

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:
- which tasks can be convered with SAP standard transactions what are the names of the transactions?
- which effort do I investigate for these tasks?
Thank you very much!
regards

Need to consider the following things:
For Reportsits custom developed program so unless there is any kind of change in requirement from the client regarding the layoutnothing needs to be changedI think it will work fine in ECC 6.0 toexcept few things may needs to be changed..so you need to discuss whether they want the reorts as it is right nowor want to change the layout (adding some new info/fields etc) of any reportso u need to modify the program for thoseand estimate accordinglyfor 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 BDCyou need to see how many BDCs are thereagain if the field lengths and layouts are not changingthen no need to change anything (except the main thing..you need to change the obsolete function modulesthere are some in 4.6 c like for data upload ws_upload_*** is there 4.6C but obsolete in ECC6.0there are some new with enhanced functionality so you need to modify the BDCsand many cases it happens that the whole transaction screen changes for processin that case better to develop new BDCsso you have to consider those parameterlook into and estimate accordinglymodifying a BDC should not take more than 1 PD
Now say for Formsthere was no Smart form in 4.6Cform printer was there..though the same option is there in ECC 6.0 too..but better to go for/should go for Smart formin that caseits complete new devso estimate accordinglya medium complexitys form should take 8 PD (FRSTDSCoding+Unit Testing)you can take it as 10 PD tooeven if client wants to keep it is as it was in older versionyou have to redevelop the layout in ECC 6.0 againas form printer is even client dependentmaximum you can copy the program associated with that form in the new version tooand your effort will be savedagain you have to consider if clients wants to change the layout too
Now for enhancementso in that case u need to see individual casesfor a medium complexity enhancement it should take max 15 PD (FRSTDSCoding+Unit Testing)
One more important thing is that the Unicode Compatibilitythis needs to be done.needs to change the code (variable name) accordingly.also Version management tool is used for the standard programs

SAP Upgrade 4.6C to ECC 6.0 EHP5 system customer is using Data Archiving

Dear All,
I am planning to do SAP Upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0 EHP5, in the source system customer is using SAP DATA ARCHIVING. As per some of the SAP Notes before downtime phase we need to disable all the dataarchiving jobs .
1) My question is do we need to do any presteps before starting the upgrade related to SAP DATA ARCHIVING ?
2) After the upgrade if customer wants to use the old archiving objects etc... whether they will able to do it. For this do we need to raise any message with SAP regrading the dataarchiving before the upgrade
Please let me know if you have any ideas on the above questions.
Thanks & Regards
Ravikiran

Hi,
I would suggest you to do the data archiving after upgrade project or finish data archiving before upgrade project. As lots of new archiving objects has been delivered in ECC.
Also, its true that before starting downtime project you need to stop all your jobs. Also, SAP has recently introduced new retention management technique for data archiving starting from EHP4 onwards to manage data archiving more efficiently. If you are interested, you can explore this further on http://sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/ilm or http://service.sap.com/ilm.
Thanks

Bug in Inventory Audit Report before upgradation from SAP B1 2004B to 2005B

Sir,
We upgraded SAP Business One 2004B to SAP Business One 2005B on 26/05/2007. Earlier we were having SAP B1 2004 in which therer was no Inventory Audit Report function in Inventory Reports. After upgradation if we take Inventory Audit Report, the closing quantity of the stock is shown is correct but the value for negative stock quantity is wrong for period before upgradation i.e.upto 26/05/2007. The difference is exactly double of the stock value of that item. The closing quantity and value is OK if we run the report for the period after upgradation i.e. from 27/05/2007 to till date.
For e.g.
If we make A.P.Credit Memo for an item qty.20 value INR 20,000/- based on A.P.Invoice and take Inventory Audit Report, the qty.is posted as -20 but the value is posted as INR 20,000/- but actually it should be INR -20,000/-. That is the value is taken twice of the original value.
Reagrds,
Vishal Takte

Hi Vishal,
Please contact SAP Support for your problem; I think they should be able to help you to fix the problem.
Sorry for any inconvenience,
Frank
PS: Please note that such "application-related" questions fit best into the "SAP Business One" Forum...

Before upgrading my system from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion I had taken a backup of iPhoto in my external drive. But now when I try to open that package, I'm directed to app store to buy new iPhoto. How can I retrieve my photos without buying iPhoto?

Before upgrading my system from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion I had taken a backup of iPhoto library in my external drive. But now when I try to open that package, I'm directed to app store to buy new iPhoto. Why would apple install iPhoto by default with Snow Leapord and make us import all our photos in it at the first place, and now ask for money if we want to retrieve our photos back on mountain lion? What if they make contacts a paid app with the next OS upgrade, and then bully us to pay money if we want our contacts? This is something very dissappointing on Apple's part. I need answers here.

I fail to remember if the installer gave me an option to keep my applications.
The Mountain Lion installer will not delete applications. It will only mark applications, that are not compatible with your current system with a "forbidden" sign in the icon. And you cannot launch them.
Does your iPhoto icon in the Applications folder look like this?
Then your iPhoto version is incompatible and cannot run with Mt. Lion. If it is iPhoto '11, with a versionnumber starting with 9.x.x., you can upgrade it by downloading a newer version from the Apple downloads site http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1650.
But if you have 8.x.x, you need to buy an upgrade.

Integrating SAP into a Systems Analysis course

Hi,
I am part of a group putting together a proposal to integrate SAP into our business school courses and join the UA. The faculty do not have any training in SAP, but we are looking to find out as much as we can about possible course modules for our proposal.
I was wondering if anyone had suggestions or Best Practices for integrating into SAP into a Systems Analysis course for MIS students (not Computer science students)? For our proposal we are are looking to develop a timeline for different levels of integration at the first, third and fifth year of our SAP use. What would be the best materials to integrate into a 15 week semester undergrade course where the emphasis is on the system development lifecyle up to, but not including hands-on system design?
From scanning the overviews of library materials, it looks as though the following might be possibilities (although as a guest I don't have access to the full materials):
Using Solution Manager (for the project mgt component of the course)
Business Process Integration Overview
Concepts in ERP using Fitter Snacker
ERP simulation game
Netweaver workflow exercises
Any feedback and tips for a starting point would be appreciated.
Priscilla
Assistant Profesor of MIS

Priscilla,
I have used every one of the resources that you list in your post. I've used all but Solution Manager in my classes. I can't say that I see how any of them relate the SDLC. As noted, ASAP would be relevant, but for an introductory level course (where students have no knowledge of SAP), I don't think that it is something I would recommend.
I've been trying to come up with something that would fit with covering the SDLC specifically, and I've not had much success. One could perhaps do some things with Visual Composer that would illustrate some of the stages of development, but the existing resources aren't really oriented towards that narative. I'll be interested to see if anyone else posts here with ideas.
One of the resources you've listed in your postERPsimhas nothing at all to do with development, but if you are looking at integrating SAP as a new resource into business-oriented classes, it is well worth investigating. I'm not sure how it might match up with your needs, but it is a very excellent vehicle for introducing ERP concepts to students in a very meaningful and interesting way.
I wish you well in your exploration of resources. As I can answer other questions, I'm happy to. I'm sure others around here may do so as well.

Clean-up the BW system before Upgrade

Hi ,
We are planning to upgrade from 3.1 to 3.5 . We are planning to clean up the BW system before Upgrade. What are the clean up activities to be perform e.g clean up PSA , delete unused objects/queries etc.
Please let me know if there is any documentation available on clean up.
Thanks.

Hi,
I would rather start with the unused cube/ODS and probably archive them. Then delete the PSAs for them. You may also need to do a PSA clean-up activity.

To find unused queries: There are 2 ways
1. Goto ST03N and select expert mode and under BW system load,look for the queries. It lists all the queries which uses from past 3 months. So whatever object is missing in that is not used. This is the one way of listing the queries which are not used.
2. In the technical content, you can check the queries on multiprovider 0BWTC_C10(queries realted to OLAP).
Once you identify the unused queries then use the transaction RSZDELETE to delete them.
Workbooks: Try RSWB_ROLES_REORG. This will delete workbooks etc which are not associated to a role or query.
Unused hierarchies: Check this post: Unused Hierarchies
Unused master data: Goto rsa1 -> infoobjects. Right click the infoobject and choose 'delete master data'. All 'unused' records will be deleted.
PSA Clean-up:: Check the fn module :RSATREE_PSA_DELETE_BATCH
Bye

I have several macs with Intel core duo 2 operating systems. All are running os x10.6.8. Is it necessary to upgrade to Lion before upgrading to mountain lion when it comes out this summer? Do I need to have the "base" version of 10.7?

I have several macs with Intel core duo 2 operating systems. All are running os x 10.6.8. Is it necessary to upgrade to Lion before upgrading to Mountain Lion when it appears this summer? Do I need to have the "base" version of 10.7 first?

This is unknown, it will be up to Apple and AFAIK they haven't announced that yet.

It's been a while since I upgraded my system. Is there anything I should do before upgrading from 10.5.8 to Snow Leopard other than backing up my files? The transition should be pretty seamless, right?

How to Install OS X Updates Successfully
A. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions:
Boot from your current Tiger Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. Then select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and later.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
B. Make a Bootable Backup Using Restore Option of Disk Utility:
Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
Select the destination volume from the left side list.
Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
Check the box labeled Erase destination.
Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
C. Important: Please read before installing:
If you have a FireWire hard drive connected, disconnect it before installing the update unless you will boot from this drive and install the update on it. Reconnect it and turn it back on after installation is complete and you've restarted.
You may experience unexpected results if you have installed third-party system software modifications, or if you have modified the operating system through other means. (This does not apply to normal application software installation.)
The installation process should not be interrupted. If a power outage or other interruption occurs during installation, use the standalone installer (see below) from Apple Downloads to update. While the installation is in progress do not use the computer.
D. To upgrade:
Purchase the Snow Leopard Retail DVD.
Boot From The OS X Installer Disc:
Insert OS X Installer Disc into the optical drive.
Restart the computer.
Immediately after the chime press and hold down the "C" key.
Release the key when the spinning gear below the dark gray Apple logo appears.
Wait for installer to finish loading.
E. If updating:
Download and install update(s)
Use Software Update, or
Download standalone updater(s).

How to Run Operating System Command Before/After Message Processing SAP PI

Hi,
We are trying to execute multiple commands via "Operating System Command Before/After Message Processing".
When we use single command say for example cp or mv (copy or move) the commands get executed fine.
eg: cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
/this works fine/
when we club commands together or try to redirect the outputs of commands, none of the commands get executed.
eg:
cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt ; rm %F
or
wc -l %F > /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt
Is it possible to execute multiple commands or redirect the output of commands without using a shell script? The PI server we are working on iis hosted on UNIX environment.

Hi Harleen,
try like this
cp %F /var/opt/data/outbound/Test/Dummy.txt ; rm %F
instead of semicolon try this
(1) &
command1 & command2
Execute Command1 and then execute Command2
(2) &&
command1 && command2
Runs the command2 only when command1 doesn't Complete successfully
(3) ||
command1 || command2
Runs the second command if the first command had an error
(4) ()
(command1 || command2) || (command3 & command4)
Defines the order in which commands are to be executed

Hello,
I run 'R3trans -x' command, but there was no problem - connection to database was working.
Problem was following:
Before starting the sdt service on host, I set environment variables JAVA_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH for sidadm. That's not neccessary and that was the problem. Without setting these variables it is working now.
Thanks,

It's not about 'windows' server, but for 'windows 2008 R2' server.
Kernel files included in the 'Installation Media' are by default the old/low patch level not released fully compatible with 'new platforms' like 2008 R2 - which may cause some problems 'during' installation as well.
So, using modified kernel DVD you get two advantages -
1. You are able to avoid 'those' problems during installation.
2. You don't have to go for an explicit kernel upgrade just after the installation.

3.x query performance on upgraded BI 7.0 - worse than before upgrade?

Dear Sirs,
upgraded a BI system this weekend from 3.x to 7.0. Purely technical upgrade so no upgrade to 7.0 queries yet.
What we have seen is that queries with "loose"/lagre selection ? (e.g all plant .. all months) etc have worse performance than before upgrade.
One example: a query went from 26second to 60 seconds to run.
Small selection (e.g one specific plant and date) is same run time.
Has anyone had similar experience?
Is BI 7.0 optimized for 7.0 queries, or are there any performance parameteres I could look at.
Best regards,
Jørgen

How do I make a back up on Time Machine before upgrading to Mountain Lion?

A detailed process would be greatly appreciated. I've heard I should use time machine before upgrading to Mountain Lion for reasons I cannot remember.
Thanks!

Connect an external drive to your Mac. Open Disk Utility, it is in the Utilities folder in the Applications folder, and see if the external is formated Mac Extended (Journaled) and if it is not you can either use the Partition tab to Re-partition it as one partition and format it Mac Extended (Journaled) or you can use the Erase tab to Erase the drive and format it the Mac format. Name it anything you like.
Once that is done close Disk Utility and open System Preferences and go to the Time Machine Applet. Once that is open, If OS X doesn't ask you if you want to use that external as a TM backup disk, select "SelectBackup Disk" and select that external as a place to store backups. Then move the slider from Off to On and then TM will start the process of making a backup of your system. Once it is finished I suggest you turn it back off.
