What are the consultant roles in Upgradation or migration project

Hello ,
Would you please any dody help me to provide the role & responsibilities of consultant in SAP upgradation or migration project.Thanks.
Regards,
Sampally

Dear Sampally,
SAP defined a roadmap for upgrade.
1) Project Preparation
Analyze the actual situation
Define the objectives
Create the project plan
Carry out organizational preparation for example identify the project team
2)Upgrade Blueprint
The system and components affected
The mapped business processes
The requirements regarding business data
3)Upgrade Realization -- In this phase the solution described in the design phase is implemented in a test environment. This creates a pilot system landscape, in which the processes and all their interfaces can be mapped individually and tested on the functional basis.
4)Final Preparation for Cutover -- Testing, Training, Minimizing upgrade risks, Detailed upgrade planning
5)Production Cutover and Support
The production solution upgrade
Startup of the solutions in the new release
Post processing activities
Solving typical problems during the initial operation phase.
SAP expects at least 2 to 3 months for Upgrade and that again depends on project scope and complexity and various other factors.
STEPS IN TECHNICAL UPGRADE
• Basis Team will do the prepare activities. (UNIX, BASIS, DBA).
• Developer need to run the Transaction SPDD which provides the details of SAP Standard Dictionary objects that have been modified by the client. Users need to take a decision to keep the changes or revert back to the SAP Standard Structure. More often decision is to keep the change. This is mandatory activity in upgrade and avoids data loses in new system.
• After completing SPDD transaction, we need to run SPAU Transaction to get the list of Standard SAP programs that have been modified. This activity can be done in phases even after the upgrade. Generally this will be done in same go so that your testing results are consistent and have more confident in upgrade.
• Run SPUMG Transaction for Unicode Conversion in non-Unicode system. SPUM4 in 4.6c.
• Then we need to move Z/Y Objects. Need to do Extended programming check, SQL trace, Unit testing, Integration testing, Final testing, Regression Testing, Acceptance Testing etc.,
The main Category of Objects that needs to be Upgraded is –
• Includes
• Function Groups / Function Modules
• Programs / Reports
• OSS Notes
• SAP Repository Objects
• SAP Data Dictionary Objects
• Domains, Data Elements
• Tables, Structures and Views
• Module Pools, Sub Routine pools
• BDC Programs
• Print Programs
• SAP Scripts, Screens
• User Exits

    - Authorizations & Roles definitions & assignements depending upon requirement.
    - System Backup depending upon business requirement
    - Printer setup in SAP

  • What are the common errors we get in supporting project

    can any body reply what are the common errors we get in supporting project
    for abapers tickets will get or not.
    what type of tickets generally get regarding reports.

    <b>SAP Tickets</b> are nothing but problems or issues raised by the end
    customer in a company where end users are running SAP project.
    Once the SAP project is implemented, support phase begins. Support
    team is responsible for solving the tickets/issues in day-to-day
    business.
    For any support project, customer will set up Help Desk. If any
    problem occurs customer will call Help Desk and register the
    issue/Ticket.
    Different companies use different software products to manage SAP
    Tickets. Remember this software is not provided by SAP. It is third
    party software. There are many software products in the market like
    Manage Now et c. You can call these software products as tools.
    All tools will provide the common attributes which are listed below-
    1) Every user will be provided with user name and password to enter
    into the tool
    2) We can see the tickets assigned for a particular user name.
    3) You can list all open tickets by giving the Date Range
    4) You can list all closed tickets by giving the Date Range
    5) You can list out all the open tickets assigned for an User
    6) You can list out all the closed tickets assigned for an User
    7) You can see the description of the Ticket, by entering the Ticket
    Number. You can see who had raised the Ticket, what is the problem.
    What is the severity of the Ticket?
    There are lot many other attributes like you can transfer the Ticket
    to another user etc.
    <b>What is the severity of the problem Ticket?</b>
    When a Ticket is raised, it will be given severity. There are
    following severities. It may vary from company to company.
    Severity 1
    Severity 2
    Severity 3
    Severity 4
    The severity will be decided based on the business critical impacts.
    If there is large impact on the business it
    will be given 1 severity, if it is having least impact then it will be given 4.
    Severity 1 problem tickets should be solved in 8 hours.
    Severity 2 problem ticket should be solved in 16 hours.
    Severity 3 problem ticket should be solved in 15 working days.
    Severity 4 problem ticket should be solved in 30 working days.
    Again the no of days may vary from one company to another.
    All these things will be decided when giving the contract to the IT
    company. The agreement is called as "SLA".
    SLA stands for Service Level Agreement.
    What happens if a particular ticket is not solved by the IT company
    according to the SLA/Contract?
    The Customer imposes fine on IT company as per the contract/SLA.

  • What are the system settings, etc., needed for a project in DV widescreen?

    Hello - to do a project in DV widescreen -- what are the proper system settings and what steps must I take to import and log footage? I've tried the anamorphic -- but viewer doesn't connect to camera -- sorry this is so rudimentary but if anyone can help me get it going, I'd be very grateful. Thank you!

    If your footage is DV NTSC, it is anamorphic if it's widescreen. You should be able to simply use the "Easy Setup" for DV NTSC Anamorphic and edit your heart out.
    If you can't see the camera, might trash preferences: http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/
    And if that doesn't work, QT 7 should be reinstalled: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301852

  • What are the recommended steps to upgrade from CF7 to CF8

    I have read all of the documentation for how to upgrade from
    CF 7.02 to CF 8. Well there is actually only one blurb in all of
    the CF docs.
    "Upgrade installation You can upgrade from ColdFusion MX,
    ColdFusion MX 6.1, and ColdFusion MX 7. When upgrading from
    ColdFusion MX, ColdFusion MX 6.1, or ColdFusion MX 7, the installer
    preserves the existing settings and installs in a new directory,
    automatically assigning ports that do not conflict with the
    existing installation."
    OK that sounds simple enough, so i went ahead and installed
    it. Well it did not work, now I am stuck somewhere between 7 and 8.
    My basic step, as I can best recall at 1:00AM.
    * Select Multi server Configuration
    * Select install path, I used D:\JRun4
    * This is where my existing cf7 install was located
    * installer told me port 8300 was being used so it gave me
    port 8306 instead
    * Selected d: for ColdFusion8DotNetService install path
    * Select Passwords for admin and rds
    * installed cf
    * received error after install
    (Adobe_ColdFusion_8_InstallLog.log)
    ANT Script Error:
    Status: ERROR
    Additional Notes: ERROR - jrun.xmlUnable to remove existing
    file D:\JRun4\bin\jrun.exe
    * rebooted
    * can't login to cfadmin at port 8306
    * tried to login to cfadmin at port 8300, everythin works
    * it appears the cf7 services are still running,
    * didn't notice any new cf8 services, excpet the dotnet
    stuff
    Any assistance would be appriciated.
    I am on windows 2003/CF8EE/Multiserver configuration

    Essentially CF comes with the updates that will become JRun 4
    Updater 7
    integrated into it. (The beta of Updater 7 is under way).

    Use the CAR file, XML file formats have changed between
    versions.

    What you are describing is a simultaneous update of JRun and
    CF. For
    just an update of CF you need to redeploy the CF EAR file as
    described
    in the JRun manual. For just an update of JRun you have to
    wait until
    updater 7 is released (or join the beta and file bugs if you
    don't like
    the procedure).
    > Another possible option would be to update JRUN with the
    latest release,
    The latest release is only updater 6.

    the JRUN console and

    Use a CAR file for that.
    > This seems possible to do it this way but does not seem

    In place upgrades are never clean. In my book, an upgrade
    means
    rebuilding from scratch.

  • What Are The Limits To Aperture? (Masters, Versions, Projects...)

    If Apple has a specification for any of these, I couldn't find it.
    It's obviously not on the Aperture web site under tech specs.
    I couldn't find it in the user manual, but I have been known to stink at searching the manual.
    I did some searching on this forum, but I kept coming up with some rather old posts.
    Which means, the answer is probably right in front of me and I simply can't see it. So, sorry for asking a question that I'm sure has been asked and answered more than once.
    I was wondering if anyone knows what, if any are the limits for ...
    How many Masters in a Library?
    How many Versions in a Library?
    How many projects in a Library?

  • What are the things required to upgrade internal hard drive For Macbook Pro mid 2012 13 inch?

    Hi,
    I want to upgrade my internal drive but I don't know how to do that. I have already purchased a WD 1TB internal hard drive. However, I contacted apple support and they said if I try to upgrade the hdd myself, then the warranty of the macbook would be void. I am from India . I currently have a Macbook Pro mid 2012,13 inch.
    Also, do i need to download a setup of Yosemite before changing the hdd?
    Please guide me
    Thanks and Regards

    You know what the impact will be on the warranty terms.  If you want to install it yourself, look at this video:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/macbookpro_13_unibody_mid12_hd/
    It is not very difficult.  You will need a #00 Phillips and a #6 Torx drivers.

  • What are the FB 4.7 upgrade path options?

    A few days ago using the product links I submitted an upgrade to 4.7 request based on my CS 5.5 Web Premium serial. It came back as denied because allegedly the seriial had been cancelled, which it is not - it is very active and shows in My Adobe. I use FB 4.6 (through the previous upgrade) through it, even though I now have CS6 which has no FB, So now I spent almost an hour chatting with a rep, who agrees my CS 5.5 serial is valid but tells me that CS 5.5 Web Premium is not entitled to the upgrade.
    The original upgrade link from the product description page, which is currenty unavailable (I get a 404 error) stated CS 5.5 as entitled. In fact the Response to my case states that it is entitled, but my serial is bad!
    I really can't figure this one out. Maybe I need professional help ...

    I just went over the case text, and I saw that the serial in their description is nothing like mine! I copied & pasted the serial from my license list and the one they have is none  of the ones I have which I might have accidentally selected. I also see that the rep was referring to FB Premium when he claimed I couldn't upgrade from CS 5.5. I submitted a new request, insuring the serial was correct. Let's see what happens.

  • What's the best way to upgrade and migrate to SSD and HDD

    Was hoping to get some advice on my pendIng upgrade to a new HD and SSD in my mid-2010 13" MacBook Pro. I'm very confident in my installation abilities but I'm a novice when it comes to moving software and programs.
    Here's the set-up ill be working with:
    Mid-2010 13" MacBook pro (1.7)
    New 750gb 7200 rpm HDD in original bay
    New 128gb SSD in old optical drive bay
    What I want to do is run OS X (lion for now) and applications off of the SSD while keeping 'data hogs' on the 750gb. I've read probably 10 different ways to do this from cloning HDD to SSD while keeping the user folder on the HDD, or clean install of lion on the SSD then using migration assistant to pull the apps over.
    I want to make sure I'm moving the right stuff over to the SSD so that I can take full advantage of it. I also dont want excess crap on the 750 especially since I'll have a bootable copy on my old drive.
    What should I put on the SSD? How should I get it there? If I do a clean install of lion on the SSD do I just migrate the applications using the migration assistant from my original HDD and then migrate whatever's left onto the new HDD?
    So many questions.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated. The drives and enclosures are showing up tomorrow and I'm looking forward to getting them up and running. 
    Thanks

    When you upgrade it will use your existing user data including bookmarks, passwords, cookies and browsing history.
    I have been using Firefox Sync since it was in an early development stage about 2 years ago. I have gone through a few upgrades to Firefox since then with no problems during the upgrades. I recommend going to Firefox 4 first because Firefox Sync is built into it so there will be no need to install the add-on.
    If required you can downgrade to Firefox 3.6.16
