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

  • Deploying BO universes and webi reports in quality and production

    Hi
    We are on BO XIR2 SP5 and reporting on SAP BI Infocubes and Queries.
    We have 3 environments setup,each for development,quality and production.
    During universe development,while creating a new connection we provide the IP address of application server,username ,password,system id,client number etc details.
    The above details would defer for 3 different environments.In our case we have built around 50 universes.
    So what would be the smart way of deploying these universes in each of the other 2 environments?Because changing universe connection details would mean re creating the universe classes and objects which would be a huge effort.Would the webi reports continue to work upon re creating the universe with new connection details?
    Please suggest a best and smart practice for the above scenario.

    Hi,
    Using Import Wizard tool in BO you can  migrate Universe and Reports from dev env to test.
    Using the Import Wizard tool you can migrate the reports.
    Steps are as follows:
    Open Import window:
    In Source environment , enter the details of dev environment.
    Destination wizard you have to enter Test env credentials.
    Then you have to select all the universe and the wid files from this wizard (The files you want to transfer ).
    Finally finish this wizard by pressing finish button.........
    Hope this will help you

  • Browser IE7.0 does not support WebDynpro in Quality and production only

    Hi All,
    Our portal version is NW04 SP15 adn NWDI is on NW700.We have Development ,Quality and production portal.We are using browser IE6.0 to see the WebDynpro application as we are unable to see the webdynpro application on browser IE7.0.We are gettimg message "Browser does not support WebDynpro".
    However few days ago suddenly we are able to see webdynpro application on browser IE7.0 in the Development portal only.When we open the quality and production url on the browser IE7.0 we are getting error message "Browser does not support webdynpro".
    Our Basis team askes us to analyze when we open the development url on IE7.0 we are able to see webDynpro application where as when we open the quality and prosuction url on browser IE 7.0 we are getting message "Browser does not support webdynpro"
    Can anybody tell why does IE7 work in development (PWD), but not in other EP6 instances quality(PWQ), production (PWP)?
    Thanks
    Susmita

    Hi
    Thanks for all your response.
    I have alredy gone through the forums why IE 7.0 doesnot support WebDynpro.What to do to make IE7.0 work for webDynpro(SAP note 991449).
    I have already told basis team regarding the behaviour of IE7.0.However basis team is sticking to their question what has done in the development so that IE7.0 is working for WebDynpro in Development.
    I will ask the patch level from basis team for Development,Quality,production.May be patch is different thats why Dev is working in IE7.0 and not in quality and production.
    I am sure the issue not related to code or iView property and related to IE property.Is anything done on the Development instance PWD at Server so that we are able to see webdynpro on IE7.0 for development?
    What i need to check in the url https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/pam as i am new to this url.
    Thanks

  • SQ03, user group removed after release upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6

    Dear All,
    I have a problem about user group - transaction code SQ03.
    After the release upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6 the user group, that I created in the old system, are not present in quality and production environment.
    In the development environment there is the user group but doesn't contain the queries that I created in the old environment.
    How can I solve this issue?
    Can I recover all missing queries?
    (moreover I can access to the old environment)
    Thanks in advance.

  • Invoice Receipt Warning Message Appear After Upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6

    Hi Gurus,
    We do upgrade from 4.6C to ECC6. And we do Invoice Verification base on Delivery (Vendor delivery number), in our business process there more than one Purchase Order has same Vendor Delivery Number while GR executed. But only one Purchase order related to Invoice verification, others PO are Free PO (no need Invoice Verification).
    The problem is:
    In SAP 4.6C, while execute Invoice base on Delivery (Vendor delivery), system automatic select only PO with Delivery (vendor) which related/allow invoice receipt.
    In SAP ECC6, while execute Invoice base on Delivery (vendor delivery), all PO selected. So than there are warning messages appear (warning pop screen) for those PO not allow invoice Receipt (message M8035: PO item XXXXX does not allow invoice receipt), and at the end PO which allow Invoice receipt then appear for further Invoice Receipt process.
    At overall, the final result SAP 4.6C and SAP ECC6 is same (only PO which allowed Invoice Receipt will processed further).
    The Question are:
    1. Why in ECC6 appear warning message, while in 4.6C no warning message ? Is there config to ignoring the warning message. I've try to maintain system message for M8035 (t-code: OMRM) to ignoring the pop screen, but can not created.
    2. How do we make warning message dissapear (no need warning message), because if the PO's has hundred items so user need to click enter hundred times.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    could you please check whether the flag "GR-based IV" is set in the purchase orders?
    If GR based-IV is ticked, then this pop-up cannot be suppressed.
    If you would like to post the invoice first then GR-based IV should not be checked, otherwise this pop-up will always appear.  I am afraid that this behaviour is standard. 
    Please, be aware that this feature is only available if you set  in the Purchase Order item the 'GR-based IV' indicator:
       If the GR-IV flag is not set in the PO, then the system does not                     
       differentiate individual goods receipts. Please see the <f1> help                    
       for the field "GR-IV" in the PO item detail. Since the individual                    
       receipts are not differentiated, an invoice is not tied per se to                    
       an individual receipt and a goods receipt can be reversed despite                    
       an invoice receipt.                                                                               
    With the GR-IV flag set on in a PO, you can specify which goods                      
       receipt is being invoiced in an IR and which goods receipt is being                  
       reversed in a return. It is this correlation between goods receipts                  
       and invoices that enables you to specify for GR-IV PO's whether an                   
       item can be returned despite an invoice. 
    Please refer to the note :457511 Question 10.          
    Best regards

  • BAdi & user-exits while upgrade from 4.6c to ECC6

    Hello all,
    Can anybody put light on how User-exits and BAdi will be effected while upgrade from lower version to ECC6.
    Many Thnanks.....
    Apps.

    Hi,
    The main concept of enhancements is to keep the code unaffected during version upgrades
    Hence all the BADI implementations and User Exit/Customer exits implementations will be in place and no effect due to upgrade...I hope in case of badi, some new BADI(as part of enhancement framework-GET BADI/CALL BADI) will be added up and the old BADI(Those in 4.6c or below) will not get affected.
    Regards

  • 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 Query in Upgradation from 4.7 to ECC6.0

    Hi there,
    We are upgrading SAP system from 4.7 to ECC6.0. We have s/w component SAP_BASIS = 700.
    It would be of great help if anybody share their thought on handling ABAP queries after upgradation from 4.7 to ECC6.0.
    We have refered SAP notes 132813 and 672784 where in we need to change the default query area.
    Also, do we need to re-genarate the queries? If yes then how can we achive the same.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    It may happen that some times, the queries are not generated after the upgrade.
    Hence call the FM: RSAQ_GENERATE_PROGRAM
    Pass the Query name and user group.
    For all global queries: refer table AQGQCAT and local/client specific queries: Refer to AQLQCAT.
    This can help to regenerate the queries.
    You can also write a small program to generate using the above FM(one time program) that runs after upgrade
    Hope this helps
    Regards

  • 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.
