Transport between different releases

Hi,
Is it possible to have transports between two server with different releases,
one is on 701 and other is on 700,
pls advise.
Thanks

Hello Irfan,
Transport of customizing between diffeent releases is NOT supported. Also generated objects, which were generated by customizing, should NOT be transported between different releases.
SAP objects may NOT be transported between different releases (e.g. a table in an old release could have less fields than in the newer release and thus such a transport might delete data or if an abap calls a function module and in new release have one parameter more,then you get syntax errors if you transport only one of them from a system with the old release, ...).
So data loss and severe inconsistencies can happen if you transport SAP objects between different releases, or between systems with same release but different support package level or between systems with different addons or different add-on versions etc.
For pure customer objects (e.g. Z-tables, Z-programs, Y-tables, y-programs or objects in customer name space) it might be ok to transport them. But if e.g. your Z-table uses an SAP data element which has maybe been changed in the new release or does maybe no more exist, you can also get problems during transport of your z-table.
Data loss and severe inconsistencies can happen if you transport SAP objects between different releases, or between systems with same release but different support package level or between systems with different addons or different add-on versions etc.
Please check the following:

1089083   Transports between Basis Releases 7.0* and 7.1*
556734    FAQ Transport: Setup and further information
Pay attention to point 5 and 6.
5. Are transports possible between systems with different Support Package versions?
6. Are transports possible between different R/3 releases?

How to know the database changes between different releases

Where can I get the information of database changes, like for example new columns new tables, etc, between different releases?
My goal to try to determine the current version, or is there a better way?
Thank you

For JD Edwards World or for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne - you can go to upgradejde.com Once this screen comes up, pick Resources. You will then have an option to take JD Edwards EnterpriseOne or JD Edwards World. On the next screen, you can select the tab Compare Releases. This will allow you to enter the release that you are currently on and enter the latest GA release of software. You will then see all the differences between your current release and the release you should upgrade to. You can also format this into a printed report.

Billing issue in case of stock transport between different company codes

Hi all,
In my project there are 2 different company codes - C001 & C002.
C001 has plant K101 & C002 has plant K201.
I am trying for the cross company code stock transfer. The plant K201 issues a stock transport order to plant K101. Now I created a delivery using transaction code VL10G & the system created a delivery successfully.
I did the picking & PGI using transaction code VL02N successfully.
Now I am trying to create a billing document in VF01 taking the reference of the delivery number created above but the system issues an error log stating
"0080000020 000000 The document is not relevant for billing"
The detail description is as under:
Client...................................................210
Group Number
Sales Document Number.......................0080000020
Item Number of the SD Document..........000000
Schedule Line Number..........................0016
Counter in Control Tables......................00
Message Identification..........................VF
System Message Number....................016
Output Type........................................I
Message Variable 01
Message Variable 02
Message Variable 03
Message Variable 04
Group Type.........................................F
with best regards,
Neeraj Kumar

HI ,
you just check the Billing type which is assigned for that Delivery type and also check what type of billing document it is i.e., in T.code VOFA
1)Check SD document category ,whether it is invoice or Proforma invoice,
2)check copy controls

Transports between different Oracle versions

Hello Experts,
Is it possible to have DEV, QAS on Oracle 10.2.0.2 and PRD on Oracle 9.2.0.8? Will the transports work?
Thanks & Regards,

> Is it possible to have DEV, QAS on Oracle 10.2.0.2 and PRD on Oracle 9.2.0.8? Will the transports work?
Sure - the whole transport thing works database independently.
But you should really move on with your Oracle versions there - 10.2.0.2: old, 9.2.0.8: damn old...

Export and Import transport request between different version?

Hi,
I have tried to Export the transport requests from ECC5 to ECC6 via STMS .Its not throughing any error but no Master datas are transported. Anyone have idea about that?

Hello,
From my experience SAP didn't recomneded transporting from 46C -> ECC5.
The structure of tables and objects are a little bit different between different
releases.
Dimitry

Importing transports in different versions.

Dears,
I want to confirm that is it possible to perform transports in different version systems.Our requirement is to create the request from ECC5 and then import it in our Netweaver 04s server.
So first I want to know is it possible and second thing as i know for it i have to only manually copy cofile and datafile in target system and then by STMS add to buffer and then import,Is there anything else also i have to do like changing file permission.I am using windows 2003 server.
Please suggest.
Deepak

as u would be aware transport is done by r3 trans
different versions of R3trans are fully compatible with each other, because the data is transported in a standard format. Thus one can use different versions of R3trans for export and import.
Transports between different databases or operating systems are not a problem either.
When you transport between different SAP release levels, note that this usually does not present any technical problems due to the upward and downward compatibility of R3trans , but logical inconsistencies could occur in such transports
Further technical and logical problems for the various releases are outlined in notes 60928, 120151, 126776 and 330267.
hope this helps !

Java transports across different SPS, EHP and release

Hi All,
During an SPS/EHP upgrade, there is generally a transport freeze in the development landscape from DEV ->QA->PRD. This due to the incompatibility between the systems. SAP Note explaining the same is 1090842.
I understand that same is true for the Java developments as well. As the SC imported into track are specific to release and SP levels of the WAS. These would have to be adjusted and re-build, (after SPS/EHP upgrade of WAS) so that it refers to the new versions. But these new builds are possible in NWDI, which has not been updated. But these releases cannot be transported to QA before QA is also upgraded to same SPS/EHP as for DEV.
Please let me know if my understanding is correct. If yes, then is there a similar SAP Note/documentation available as for ABAP one explaining the same?
Appreciate your inputs on the same.
Thanks and Regards,
Arundeep Singh

Hi Mark,
Thanks for your reply. Your reply seems to talk more on the different release of NWDI and runtime systems.
My query is not about the relation of NWDI and Runtime Java systems compatibility. I want to know the restrictions on transports in which the Runtime system landscape, DEV->QA->PRD, when an SPS/EHP on release is being upgraded on runtime systems. The scenario where standard SAP developments has been modified is clear and there is good enough documentation available [here|https://cw.sdn.sap.com/cw/docs/DOC-17604]. Let me try to explain the case again.
1. Only the Runtime systems landscape being upgraded. NWDI remains the same.
2. No SAP standard development has been modified.
3. There is only custom development, but it has build and/or runtime dependency on standard SAP SWCV. e.g. dependency on JTECH 7.00
4. Now DEV runtime Java system is upgraded, lets say to EHP1. That means the JTECH will change from JTECH 7.00 to JTECH 7.01 in Runtime DEV system.
5. Now, I beleive that custom development/ SLD configuration should be adjusted so that custom development now depends on JTECH 7.01 and not on JTECH 7.00.
6. If this custom development is not modified and transported to QA system, it may not work as the JTECH version is different in DEV and QA.
7. There could be another option at point 5. It may be chosen not to change the dependency to new JTECH 7.01. but then it may not build or run properly as JTECH in DEV is now JTECH 7.01.
Similar case would be there in case of SPS as well. It is just in case of SPS it is more subtle. The SLD dependencies will remain same. But I wonder if any library/interfaces gets updated/deprecated then the applications may not run as expected. I understand the code is generally downward compatible, but not always.
This is why, I was checking if there is some official document explaining such scenarios. I am still searching. If I came across something i will provide the links.
Thanks and Regards,
Arundeep Singh
PS: I am not a Java developer. My judgement is purely based on the general logic.

Perform Client import/export SCC8 with different release component between server

Dear All
Isn't possible to perform Client import/export SCC8 with different release component between server.?

Target Server : SAP ECC6.0, Component SAP_APPL, release 600 level 24.
This problem happens due we was unable to downgrade the release and patch the latest support pack of SAP_APPL reelease 600.
Thank You, your help is much appreciated.

Transports between 2 different versions of SAP

We are developing a product on ECC 6.0 (IDES) system and I'm trying to figure out how we can delivery the product to our customers. We have our own development namespace in SAP. Some of our customers are on ECC 6.0 and some are still on 4.7. Can we send a transport that was created in ECC 6.0 to a 4.7 system?
Thank you,

Hi,
It is possible to transport between 2 different versions but it is dangerous : you have to know exactly what you are transporting and the dependencies with standard SAP code.
So, it is much safer to recreate your source code in a developement system of the new version and create new transport orders from there...

Navigation between different componets in IC Web Client for CRM 7.0

Once the user click save button in component ICCMP_BT_BUTTON I need to navigate to component ICCMP_BT_SVO that displays the Service Order Data and display the new Service Request that was created.
How can I do navigation between different componets in IC Web Client for CRM 7.0?
Thanks.

Hello,
You can find detailed presentations in the learning maps available on the SAP Service Marketplace http://service.sap.com/rkt-crm for release CRM 2006s, CRM 2007, or CRM 7.0. In case I didn't mention it before, Intent-Driven Interaction (IDI) was first introduced and is only available starting with CRM 2006s and above. In the Interaction Center area, there is a presentation called "Rule Based Automation and Guidance" which covers IDI. I'm not sure if you can access the URL directly, but just in case here it is: [https://websmp104.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001162852007E].

Mapping in interconnect between different Business Objects

I want to know how to do transformation and mapping between different business objects in interconnects.
Always,We have a very complex SQL,when We do intergration
with Oracle interconnect ,We use DB Adapter or Jdbc Adapter,but the complex SQL have to be excuted in the resource DB or the destination DB which may be a big pressure to them ,I think can We use different Business Objects, and do the Mappings in interconnect,so the big pressure will be on the interconnect server just like the ETL tools, But I just find that Interconnect can do tranformation and mapping in one Business Object ,how can I do? Is anyone meet this problem like me ?thanks for discussion.

For me, Business Objects are logical groupings of business processes. For example, we have a Business Object called "Maintain_Employees". Under this we have 1 Procedure (Create_Employee) and 2 Events (Update_Employee and Delete_Employee).
We have 1 Oracle system interfacing with 23 other legacy systems. Some of these legacy systems will be using this "Maintain_Employees" Business Object (Common View), and our main transformations will be between the Common View and the legacy Application Views.
We are using a number of techniques to assist in "validating" data in the InterConnect. The main ones are using 'Cross Reference Tables (XREF)' and 'DatabaseOperation' transformations. By using 'Content Based Routing' we are able to send the right message to the right legacy system, and therefore do the right transformation/validation on the message payload. However, this is only a small part of a complex puzzle.
I also have the "problem" of having "very complex SQL" on our Oracle system too. This is not unusual when using the InterConnect.
To my mind, the InterConnect does 2 main operations. Firstly, it performs some message transformation (mapping), and secondly, it acts as a transportation engine (routing) using the adapters.
The remainder of the effort required to create or consume the message resides with the Applications themselves. Whether it is parsing an XML CLOB payload, inserting data into staging tables, writing to log files, pre-processing data, calling API's or something else, your Application side programming and processing overhead can get large.
The trade off it to ask the question, do I want to be able to track and manage messages from start to finish in high detail? Or can I trust that all message payload data will be consumed with no additional processing on the Application side?
My experience has shown that the bottleneck is always at the Application side, and almost never in the InterConnect.
The short answer to your first question is "You are right. Mappings can take place only between Application Views and Common Views only - not between Business Objects.".
To answer your second question "Probably everyone reading this forum has this problem. The intelligence that is able to really interpret message data, validate it and process it is only found in the Application, not the InterConnect. You could, however, use the Workflow engine within OAI in order to provide additional pre-validation, human interaction and logic, but this too could be complex."
At my current client, we are architecting an Application OAI Message handling schema. This will contain staging tables, pre-processing tables, "OAI" wrapper PL/SQL scripts, "APPS" wrapper PL/SQL scripts and Message Logging and Exception tables. Ours will be a complex set of PL/SQL processes too.
I hope this helps, just in letting you know that you are not alone with this problem.
I wonder if anyone else would like to share how they have architected their InterConnect and Application side mapping and transformation solutions.

EAP-FAST - WLC 7.4 Roaming between different FlexConnect (FC) Group

Dear all,
WLC 7.4 Release Notes states that with both Local/Central Switching:
- Mobility in the same Flex Group with CCKM is Fast Roaming if WLAN is mapped to same VLAN
- Mobility between different Flex Group with CCKM cause a Full Auth
Using CCK with EAP-Fast during a call with Cisco IP Phone 7921G and 7925G we notice a gap when roaming from an AP belonging to FC GroupA to an AP belonging to FC Group B...so the only solution to do Fast Romaing is to use PMK(OKC) since CCKM will do a complete authentication each time moving from FC Group.
Where do we enable OKC for a specific WLAN? In the FlexConnect Group Menu?
Thanks a lot for sharing answer and suggestion
BR
O.G.

Hello Scott,
thanks for the explanation...
So if in 7.4.121 OKC is enabled by default I don't understand why I'm having a full Authentication when roaming from AP of FC Group A to AP to FC Group B instead of Fast-Roaming...and this is happening in all FC Group configured (6x).
Should I disable CCKM flag in the WLAN definition?!?!

Client copy between different operating systems.

Hi Experts,
Our production system is running on HP-UX OS. We are installing a standby quality system and planning to do a client copy to this system from production by taking this into transport domain. But this new system is in windows. So, is it possible to perform a client copy where the source system is HP -UX and target system is windows??
Regards,
Amit.

Hi Amit,
Follow SAP Note 552711 for client copy. Refer to qns no 4 & 5, which is relevant for your question.
Can I create client copies in a heterogeneous system landscape?
Remote copies or client transports can also be carried out between different database and operating systems.

Setup Central Contract Management SRM 7.01 with differing release versions

Hello experts,
OSS note 1268821 explains how to configure the central contract management between a SRM 7.0 and an ERP 6.04. So far so good, but how should it be handled if there are differing release versions such as ERP 6.04 and ERP 6.03? I guess that a technical split (xml services/ ALE distribution) is necessary?
Assuming that there are some backends with differing release versions and in some cases with differing master data (not supported by central master data client) would you always go via PI? Independent of release version, technology and master data.
Could you give some further detailed informations how to configure such a scenario? What has to be done to transfer existing contracts from an ERP 6.04 into SRM CM component (migration concept)?
Thanks!!!
KR Thorsten

Hi Thorsten
The minimal ECC version is 6.0 EHP4, Central Contracts require certain business functions in ECC to be activated and as these are included within ECC EHP4 you won't have these available in lower version. Therefore you won't be able to operate central contracts in such an ECC system.
You would either have to go with patching these systems or go with GOA's for these systems.
Operating central contracts via PI or SOA i believe provide almost similar functionality. SOA however requires an SRM EHP1 system and ECC EHP5 back-end to operate whilst central contracts configured via PI can be operated onwards from an SRM 7.0 and EHP4 system.
I can't help you on your migration issue, maybe someone else can.
Kind regards,
Tim
