11i Upgrade - Projects Pre-Upgrade steps

We are upgrading from 10.7SC to 11i (11.5.2) and in running several of the Category 2 pre-upgrade steps, we have found that only really old projects show up as exceptions that should be "fixed" prior to the upgrade.
These projects are now closed and the revenue/invoices etc. are for prior fiscal years. We will probably get accounting errors (from flexfield/acct combinations that have been disabled) if we try to process the old transactions. We are also not sure that we want to write revenue events or create changes for fiscal years already closed.
Has anyone else seen this? How did you handle it -- did you reopen projects, re-enable accounts and process the exceptions noted by the scripts? Will upgrade FAIL because of the presence of these exceptions?
Any input you can provide would be helpful.
Thanks in advance,
Maria

SLA Pre-Upgrade program - Post steps

Dear All,
We upgrade our oracle applications to R12.1.3 from 11.5.10.2. Before upgrade, we applied the patch patch 5233248 and ran the concurrent program with the below values
Migrate all sets of books: Yes
Start Date: “01/01/1976”: Jan-76
End Date : (Left Blank)
The above concurrent in 11i insance took only 1 minute. Is this normal ?. There are many steps mentioned in the document R12.0 and R12.1: FAQ for the SLA Upgrade: SLA Pre-Upgrade, Post-Upgrade, and Hot Patch [ID 604893.1] .
Since I already mentioned to upgrade all GL during the upgrade process itself by mentioning the above parameters in the concurrent program. Do I have to still do anything on this regard after the upgrade
Please advise

Pre Upgrade Project details Required

Hi Experts,
Could anyone please explain in detail with sufficient links/materials as to what kind of a role does an Abapper Play in Pre Upgrade Project.

abaper role in Upgradation project
SAP Upgrade project
Regarding the Steps involved in Upgrade Project
First it will be to find objects whcih are impacted by upgrade. Now most of the solution providers have tools to do this work automatically with less human involvement. These tools give you a list of custom developments that will be impacted by upgrade which need correction in higher version. Each object in the list will be distributed to a person in team for fix. It is the responsibity of the Abaper to find out the error and fix the error in a given program and make it error free. This is checked by testing the object after the correction is completed. For exapmle a screen number has changed in higher version for a particular transaction. This implies a correction to all custom programs where this screen is used in BDC. Another example may be an obsolete function module which is not available in higher version and it is the responsibility of Abaper to find out suitable replacement for this.
But prior to this activity there is one more activity. If there are any changes to standard SAP developments like user exits or changes to standard code or changes to data dictionary, then they will not be reflected automatically after upgrade. There are transaction SPAU for workbench objects and SPDD for data dictionary objects. Abaper has to analyse the changed done to standard programs and dictionary objects and has to decide whther these are required in higher version. If they are required then correct them through these transaction codes.
There is a document given by SAP on roles played by different people in an upgrade project. I suggest you to read that.
Best regards,
raam

ABAP developer part in an upgrade project

Dear experts,
can anyone explain me the role of an abaper in an upgrade project...
thanks in advance.

Upgrade Project:
The Upgrade Project is to upgrade the SAP implementation version to the latest version of the SAP R/3 released by the SAP.
Generally the Upgrade Projects are initiated because SAP has suggested to the clients that few of the components delivered by it are no longer supported in the old version. Hence for the Support and Performance reasons it will suggest the clients to upgrade its SAP R/3 version to the latest release.
In upgrade projects we will have to revive all the BDC programs and implement the BAPI's that are given. Because the BDC is a Screen Dependent Object and the SAP might have made changes in Screen Fields, or may have removed the screen totally. So to achieve the functionality with BDC we have to deliver new BDC program or implement BAPI'S instead of BDC.

Learning Scope in Upgrade Project

Hi SAP Gurus,
I would like to know what is the learning scope for a fresher in an Upgrade Project(SAP Upgrade).
Please help me in this regard.
Thanks,
Babu Kilari

Hi Babu,
You can learn lot of things if you are working in the Upgrade Project.
For the upgrade you should have all knowledge about the source system as well as target system.
I needs a lot of homework from your side coz a fresher we can expect that you will be knowing a little things.
But I can only tell you that Upgrade is definetely a good learning experience.
You can use Solution Browser tool to know the difference between various versions of SAP and from different point of views.

Importance of OCM in an Upgrade Project

Many times when upgrade projects are commissioned, the need to involve the business community is often overlooked. However, upgrade projects can be defined in different ways, all of which require more or less change management activity. The idea is to get IT and the business to recognize the differences (i.e.upgrade entails switching out hardware behind the scenes with no new functionality for end user to learn v. upgrade that introduces a new user interface or new module). Once the difference in definition of "technical upgrade" is acknowledged, IT and the business can start appropriate converstations as to how they will work together to make the upgrade a success.
What was your experience in applying OCM to an upgrade project?
Also, for those interested in continuing this conversation in a live forum, I will be hosting such a discussion at TechEd. See you at the BPX roundtable at 11:00 on October 3rd!
Rebecca Potts

More and more businesses are waking upto the fact that even an Upgrade project needs Change Management to make it a complete success. I have led CM in 2 upgrade projects (technical upgrade) and agree with you on the fact it is essential to understand the differences b/w the two systems.
There are certain essentials which pertain to an upgrade:
Identifying the objectives and the benefits envisaged from the Upgrade
Communication to key stakeholders
Business Impact Analysis (This is where a large portion of the business users get involved)
Training on delta changes
My personal experience has been that the sponsors of the Upgrade are always keen on having CM but they lack the drive and the support that is essential to any CM success. The inherent resistance also lies in the fact that it is ingrained in peoples mind that a technical upgrade hardly requires any CM.
I refer to Upgrade as CM keeping in mind the scope, the criticality and the magnitude of change which is quite limited in this case. (CM being a subset of OCM)

11i-R12 upgrade and MOS 954704.1 (pre-upgrade

I am performing the 11.5.10.2 -> R12.1.1 Upgrade using the Maint Wizard (v2.19) on Linux x86.
I am at this step:
Cat - Upg to Rel 12.1.1
ProdFamily - Perform the Upgrade
Task - Apply Preinstall Patches
Step - Check for critical pre-upgrade patches for Financials
Action - Follows MOS note 954704.1 to apply pre-upgrade patches
I would like to know whether I need to use any special options/parameters to adpatch when applying these R12 patches.
Thanks

I don't understand. I haven't applied ANY R12 patches (except OAS 10.1.2.3) yet since I am still at a "pre-upgrade" step.
So the R12 patch cannot be in AD_BUGS.
The R12.AD.A.delta.4 patch is 6510214. Don't I need to know whether it is in the Rapid Install upgrade driver u6678700.drv?Sorry, I thought you are asking how to find if it is applied or not later after the upgrade.
Just follow the same logic we did with Patch 6856840, search MOS for (R12.AD.A.DELTA.4, Patch 6510214) and you will get the list of patches that includes this patch (according to MOS website, I can see that this patch is only included in R12.AD.A.DELTA.6).
Thanks,
Hussein

MW not showing Internet Expenses pre-upgrade tasks

User logins to MW, Selects project from "Select Role" "Engineer", Select category "Prep for Upgrade" from Process Steps. An assigned task/step for that user does not appear. For this particular user it is Category=Prep for Upgrade, Prod Family=Financials and Procurement Task=Internet Expenses Step = Import expense reports into AP. All other steps for this user are appearing fine. Tried unassigning and reassigning, but still does not worked. Assigned task to an additional user and different user can not see it either.
Verified from the Upgrade Guide:
Oracle® Applications
Upgrade Guide
Release 11i to 12.1.1
Part No. E14010-01
page 2-12: Internet Expenses
Perform these tasks only if you are using Oracle Internet Expenses.

Applies to 11i release level: All
TUMS step key: OIE_IMPORT_INTERCOMPANY_CHECK
Perform this step only if you have intercompany data in Internet Expenses (OIE)
interface records that must be imported into Oracle Payables.
Customer doesn't have intercompany. Should the task be showed anyway or it is ok to be hiidden ?
Thank you,

Hi,
thank you for the reply.
Customer doesn't have the have intercompany data in OIE but they want to know why this is not showing, since they think if there is this problem other steps can be affected as well (required steps not showing) and the tool will not be trusted. I am trying to understand why this step is not showing, maybe it is a bug, or something.

How To Use SPDD and SPAU Transaction in An Upgrade Project

Hi Friends,
I will be working in an upgrade project very soon. this is my first experience for Upgrade project. Though I know these two transaction are used for Upgrade.
Can anyone give me a step by step document for using these two transactions and other relevant information.
Also, I have one query where do we use these transactions : On the old system e.g. R/3 4.7 or ECC 6.0
Thanks,
Pradeep

UPGRADED FROM PRE 3.0 TO PRE 10...WAS THIS A MISTAKE????

I have a windows 7 operating system with a (c) drive with over 200gb, a separate slave drive with over 100gb, and 4 gb memory. My Video card is up to date, and quite large since I am an avid online game player.
I love to write, and create videos, and movies, and music for friends family and clients. And in my experience..no software does the job for me like my Adobe Premiere Elements 5.0, and the Adobe Photoshop 5.0 combo pack. I was happy with my PRE 3.0. loved the ease, the creations, and the finished product.
But then....I realized I was short changing myself by not advancing into the more modern up to date version. so I upgraded to PRE 10. I was very happy when I did. Called my comp guy and shouted it via text. He was happy for me as well. Then I tried to transfer over a project I have been working on for a month now, over to my new platform. PRE 10.
MISTAKE!!!
It barely picks up half of the fade ins, and fade outs I implemented in my project. It wont allow me to even change the size of my timeline or streamlined images without creating large gaps, and not allowing me to delete said gaps. It has been a nightmare, and I've only had it for a couple of days now.
I am very much so a power user when it comes to my comp. I pride myself in getting online daily and tinkering with stuff until I master it...sort of speak. And now this little problem makes me wish I never upgraded at all. please don't misunderstand me...I love the great effects and transitions...if they ever worked on my existing project...I'd love them more. I love the format of the entire APE 10...if I could enhance the font so I could see the actual prompts on top...that would be a plus as well. And I love the fact that the project has a lot more themes...if they would work with my existing project I would be overjoyed.
But they don't allow, and they don't work properly with my existing project. I know you keep reading "With my existing project". I would hate to have to completely do this project over again...but I fear that is my only course of action at this point. Maybe the leap from 3.0 to 10.0 was too much for my little project to bear. Maybe this is not set up properly in my system...which would also answer the question as to why this version runs so darn slow.
Catching up with the timeline when I play it is near to impossible. I have to keep rewinding and playing it over and over again in order for it to play with all the effects I have added to my GIFs and images. Needless to say...I am not a happy camper. I would love for someone to help me with this issue, so I can be on my way to creating videos again. Thank you all for patiently listening to me vent, and for your assistance in advance.
Peace in the Middle E.

Hello S.G. & VDO Surfer...sorry...didn't see this reply or the one after this by VDO Surfer till just now.
I create videos out of JPEGs, GIFs, and WMVs I find online. of course I give them credit at the end of my productions. I have but one that was not done for a client which is on youtube. that was my first ever. I am sure its not the computer giving me trouble, as I recently had a blue screen crash, and had to wipe it totally clean. in doing so I only uploaded the images and GIFs I needed to complete this tribute video I am creating.
I started it out in PRE 3, and when the comp crashed, I was able to get it off the old HD, and put in onto the other one. I didn't plan on upgrading until after I uploaded it onto my new comp. Once I upgraded I began having all sorts of problems. It plays choppily, and acts as if it has to catch up with my prompts.
Again...I started this out in PRE3 so it was fine then. It did kind of the same thing, now that I think of it. I had to keep rewinding it, in order to get it to play straight through after it has caught up to itself. before I installed the upgrade I was online with the adobe chat rep. they told me all I had to do was download the newer versions and they would completely override the older versions. they didn't say that the projects previously created would be hindered by the newer version. and when I asked them that, they said 'oh no...no problem at all'.
So I did my homework. its ok though I will do it the old fashioned way. Back to the drawing board. I have already begun. and the funny part is, even doing it from the beginning...its still a little choppy. I guess that's how it is with this program. no matter if its a new project or existing one...it still plays back a little choppy.
I do have one question for you guys. When you have to delete and close a gap...why it is that it sometimes does not comply....causing me to move all of the frames over to fill the gap...manually?

Do you run Pre-Upgrade Assistant when migrate from 10.1 to 10.2

Hello,
I tried to upgrade from 10.1 to 10.2 on Windows. Base on installation guide, you have to install 10.2 in a separate ORACLE_HOME, then run utlu102i.sql through SQL before run DBUA. Since I installed 10.2 without create start database because SID is same as 10.1. How to run pre-upgrade assistant? Or should I setup new SID for 10.2 and change it back after migrate database from 10.1 to 10.2.
Your assistance will be appreciated,

I'd suggest to check the "manual upgrade/migration" method described in upgrade doc.
As a summary:
utlu102.sql is just a step to verify some prereqs needed before going to 10.2
You'll need to shutdown your 10.1 DB. Copy your .ora files from 10.1.to 10.2; adjust them appropriately.
Set your Oracle_home to 10.2; keep same SID. Startup upgrade, then run catpatch.sql (if i remember correctly).
All these steps are well described in the manual.
