4.6C to ECC 6.0 Upgrade Transaction codes?
I am involved in an upgrade. I have a list of t-codes used on 4.6C. I want to compare these t-codes with ECC 6.0 and find out which ones are gone and the ones that have changed.
Is there any easy way or any one document that can help me acheive this? I would appreciate the input from the experts here. Will award points to any help provided.
In my previous project 4.6C to ECC 6.0, which was a technical upgrade, we have done it manually, here is what we followed:
1) In Unit Level T-Code testing, in technical upgrade, you are only expected to check the working of T-Codes in ECC 6.0 compared to 4.6C, this is on DEV server, with available data. Just execute the T-Code.YOU WILL KNOW WHICH T-CODE IS IN AND WHICH IS OUT(RARELY) IN DURING THIS ACTIVITY. SCOPE REMAINS THE TCODES USED BY YOUR CUSTOMER.
2) In Integration Level Testing, User Acceptance Testing and Critical Transactions Testing in technical upgrade, you need to test the scenarios with a copy of production data on QAS server.
Now, the comparision of the T-Codes can be -
1) Functionallity point of view (refer link provided by Naveen)
2) GUI
In Technical Upgrades the focus remains on GUI only. Hence the comparision is done manually between from 4.6C and ECC 6.0. The scope should always remain the Test scripts signed off by customer. The reason is that the user's need to get trained on the changes in GUI for which we captured screen shots wrt 4.6C and ECC 6.0 wherever changes have been encountered within the scope of the test script steps.
Was well received by the customer.
Lastly, just focus on the approach to take to make things simpler for you.Check the context of your Upgrade Project and move accordingly.

How to process for an ECC 6.0 upgrade for different objects (RICEF)?
Hi eaxperts,
I am new to upgrad project. Can anyone pls. tell me in details things that need to be undertaken in an ECC upgrade project for different objects e.g. RICEF and How should I process for the same?
Please also tell me the important T-codes for the same and how to use them.
Thanks a lot in advance,
SandyHi,
Please read below lines.I think u can get some knowledge about UPGRADE.
u2022 System preparation and stack level patch upgrade u2013 Basis Team
First of all, the basis team installs the Latest SAP version on the hardware and they apply all the general patches up to the latest stack level. All the stack levels of various patches u2013 Basis, ABAP, XI etc should be brought up to the latest level by the basis team. In case, all the stack levels are not the latest, it might create problems like new objects coming into the SPAU during the upgrade or thereafter u2013 these will be explained in sections below.. So it is a good practice to get the system to the latest stack level.
u2022 SPDD Phase u2013 ABAP and Functionals
This transaction code SPDD is the core step in an upgrade project. The system compares all the dictionary objects u2013 data elements, database tables and structures of the latest system (say ECC) with the previous or the old system (Say 4.6c). These all elements are present under two nodes u2013 with modification assistant and without modification assistant. Objects present under with modification assistant have the modification assistant u2018ONu2019 and we can see the modification logs.
u2022 Up gradation of the system u2013 Basis Team
After the SPDD phase is complete, the basis team prepares the system for an UPGRADE u2013 i.e. the old system would be replaced by the new system. In this phase, the system asks for the SPDD request u2013 the single request which generates and activate all the dictionary objects present in SPDD phase in the new system u2013 ECC. If the request do not contains the same objects which were present in SPDD, the system shows a danger alarm u2013 stating that this SDPP request do not contains all the desired objects and it might make the system unstable. In case any other objects are missing, there and then it should be put in the SPDD request.
u2022 SPAU Phase u2013 ABAP and Functionals
The SPAU transaction contains the objects u2013 Programs, Reports, Screens, Messages, Notes, Function Modules etc. which have difference in the Latest SAP request and the previous ones. This SPAU phase can be done either just after SPDD or after the Up gradation of the system by the Basis team. -
Load balancing after ECC 6.0 upgrade
Hi
I we this configuration on ECC 6.0 upgrade:
SAPGUI 7.10
SAP_BASIS 700 Patch level 15
SAPportal ESS
Webdispatcher Installed
Internal ITS
Single sign-on
Can somebody assist as with identifying the problem with load balancing (PUBLIC) E.g. When running ESS remuneration package via the Sapportal. we have configured ITS-Based GUI Services on transaction SICF for customised ZESS_PZ11PDF service.
When we have load balancing group on the load balancing does not work, because I see somebodyu2019s payslip
but when using one app server I see my own payslip. Please help.Hi PR,
Please take a look at the following link:-
http://help.sap.com/SAPHELP_NWPI71/helpdata/EN/28/75153a1a5b4c2de10000000a114084/frameset.htm
"You can only use the SAP message server for HTTP load distribution if
the browser is the direct client of the message server. If another
component lies between the client (browser) and the message server, (for
example, the portal), you cannot use the message server to distribute
the load."
When using the External ITS you could balance the load using the message server and logon groups. In 700 this functionality is not present if there is not a direct connection to the client (Firefox or IE). So you will have to install the webdispatcher to balance the load.
Hope this helps

SAP R/3 4.6 C to ECC 6.0 Upgrade using CU &UC method- Unicode conversion
Basis Gurus
I am working on upgrade from R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0.
ECC 6.0 upgrade completed( still in non Unicode). Now I am in the process of Unicode conversion.
I have used following methods for the upgrade.
1. Combined Upgrade & Unicode conversion(CU & UC)
2. Resource minimized( as I am doing it in Sandbox).
As I understand I need to perform the DB export and Import now for the unicode conversion.
According to the Upgrade document, First I need to run Export using R3load in ECC6.0(Non unicode)
and then install Unicode system and import the same data file.
My understanding was, when I choose, Resource minimized, I need to run Export and import
in the same system.
Can you please help me , whether I need another Unicode system for import ??
GrahamHi,
Dont get confused with upg strategy and unicode conversion.
In general Upgrade strategy (either downtime-minimized/resource minimized)
In unicode conversion you have export/import(exp/imp) of data concept
In CU&UC approach you have to do in a streach to complete migrate from old release to new realease ECC 6.00.
Using database independent (sapinst only) or Using database dependent (migration monitor or Distribution monitor)
It can be done in 2 ways.
If you dont have addtional server for unicode conversion
1)you can either do exp on same hardware and take bakup and do import using the exp dump.
2)Do exp on one server and prepare your target empty database on another server and complete imp of data.
Hope this is clear.

We have alreacy checked note 1002147, which clearly states that we have to include SAPK-523EXINVIRSAHR in the upgrade. SAP_HR is part of the upgrade.
We have included SAP_HR and other Support Package as per the queue generated by Solution Manager, but we did not include VIRSAHR & VIRSANH Packages until we got to this phase. We then included these support packages in eps\in directory, but we are now getting this error now.
Any ideas?
Regards
ChanduHi
This is what the solution provided by SAP Support:
Quote:
we have finally found the problem, it's a bug in the package upload
functionality used by the upgrade. The consequence of this bug is that
Support Packages whose EPS files (.PAT files) have a certain string in
the name, namely the string 0000000 after the _ and before .PAT
extension, are not properly uploaded to the ABAP system and hence are
not visible or known to the upgrade.
This bug will be fixed in the next upgrade tool fix, but in the meantimeyou can use the following workaround:
Check your EPS/in directory after the CAR/SAR Archives of the SPs are
extracted and rename all .PAT and .ATT files, which have a name like
*_0000000.PAT (or *_0000000.ATT), by changing the string 0000000 to
9000000. For example, for the VIRSANH SP SAPK-52302INVIRSANH rename the
file VS30020106486_0000000.PAT to VS30020106486_9000000.PAT
Afterwards, the upgrade will upload the informations about the SP
properly and the SP can be included into the upgrade.
Files:
31/01/2007 07:32 329 VS30020106486_0000000.ATT
31/01/2007 07:32 554,073 VS30020106486_0000000.PAT
If these two files are renamed to e.g.
VS30020106486_9000000.ATT
VS30020106486_9000000.PAT
the affected VIRSANH SP2 is uploaded correctly by the upgrade
functionality and the SP inclusion of the VIRSANH SPs works.
Sorry, as of now I cannot promise you a date when the tool fix will be
available. I have found this bug only today in the evening (german time)and will discuss this with the responsible colleagues tomorrow.
Afterwards, I will know more...
Unquote:
Hope this helps. We have decided against upgrading to 530_700 as it will involve upgrading GRC system and also new version has lot of new functionalities, which we like explore it after the ECC upgrade.
Also, I would not suggest deleting VIRSAHR as all the config and customising done for VIRSAHR will be lost.

Error in WBS Element Hierarchy load after ECC 6.0 Upgrade
Hi All,
After ECC 6.0 Upgrade in R/3, we are doing test load in a Test server. While doing, we have encountered an issue with 0WBS_ELEMENT Hierarchy load. The message in the monitor is like below.
"Node ID 00014240 has not been included in the hierarchy
Message no. RH207"
When I run the same hierarchy in another system which is not upgraded , it works fine.
Anybody has faced similar kind of issues and can throw some light on this issue?
Thanks,
MohanTry activating the Heirarchy in R/3 and re-trigger the load, error is very specific to structure of the hierarchy. there is a possibility that this Hierarcy could have got inconsistent after the upgrade.
Thanks,

Hardware requariment for ECC 6.0 upgrade from ECC 5.0
Hello
I am on ECC 5.0 with oracle 9.2.0.7.I need to upgrade this to ECC 6.0.
I have already implemented MM,PP,FICO,QM and HCM.My current data base size is 900GB.This has 30GB monthly growth.
With this ECC 6.0 upgrade i am planing to implement PM,EP.
I know converting none Unicode system to unicode system is required some more hardware resources than the none Unicode.
Some document says 40-60% more disk space and 35% more processing speed from current system.
Can any one give me the correct information about the hardware requirement for ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0 upgrade.
Thanks

DB Migration and ECC 6.0 Upgrade
I have a number of questions, we have a SAP R/3 4.7x200 landscape that is currently Windows 2003 and SQL2000 both 32 bit, we want to do the following, move to Windows 2003 and SQL2005 64bit, perform a Unicode and ECC6.0 Upgrade.
here are the steps I am planning on new hardware
1. Migrate to 64bit
-install 64bit OS and SQL2006 64bit on new hardware
-export db from current 32 bit and import into 64 bit system
a. I am confused, I have seen threads where it appears this was done in house, do we need an SAP certified person to complete this task, this is a hetergenous copy? Note 82478
b. can we do this inhouse if we follow the SAP documentation and checklists provided and have their signoff with checks
- Run tests and then confirm process before real migration
2. Perform Unicode Upgrade
- run this on sandbox, test and verify
3. Perform ECC 6.0 upgrade
- run this on sandbox a no. of times confirm
- freezing development and starting with DEV (this is a small landscape, we can do this)
p.s can steps 2 and 3 be combined in one step, I have broken that out, to in my mind make it simpler to fix if anything breaks.Hi,
DB Migration
1. MS SQL Server 2000 is based on BIN collation and MS SQL Server 2005 is BIN2 collation. SO you need to first convert BIN to BIN2 collation.
Note 960769 Windows Migration from 32bit to 64bit x8664
Note 799058 - Setting Up Microsoft SQL Server 2005
2. can steps 2 and 3 be combined in one step?
Yes. check with link http://service.sap.com/erp-upgrade

ECC 6.0 UPGRADE - BW 3.10
We are planning to upgrade our source system from 4.6C to ECC 6.0. We are on BW 3.10 ( But planning to upgrade to BI 7.0 once after ECC 6.0 upgrade)
Would like to know,
1. Do we need apply any plug-in requirements to accommodate the ECC 6.0 compatibility?
2. Will the existing BW 3.10 work without any issue with ECC 6.0?
( We are not going to do any change with new Business content available with ECC 6.0)
3. What are the other precautions, we need to take in order to work BW 3.10 with ECC 6.0?
Advance Thanks.refer replies here:

ECC 6.0 Upgrade from 4.7 - EDI Interfaces
Hi Gurus,
Need your inputs on what are the precautions to be taken during ECC 6.0 Upgrade related to EDI Interfaces. with SAP upgrading from 4.7 to ECC 6.0, do you see any precautions need to be taken considering the middle ware involvement. Also, is there any changes in IDOC Structures in ECC 6.0 which my cause issues related mapping with middleware.
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
C.L. Narasimhan "CLN"Hi,
generally, a release upgrade, delivers new idoc/message types or new releases of existing idoc/message types.
So, taking this in mind, you shouldn't have problems for the mapping of the messages, because the versions of the basic idoc, once released, cannot be changed.
You might have some application problems related to the inbound interfaces, but this is part of the game...the testing phase will highlight whether the problem exists.
A known problem is that the upgrade removes all the customer specific entries in the system table EDIFCT.
Further details are provided in the OSS note [https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/865142]
