    Hi,
    Role of technical consultant:

    2) SPAU / SPDD corrections
    3) removal of obselete statements by checking through the code inspector or EPC
    4) replacing the BDC on enjoy transactions with BAPI
    5) replacing the call transaction on obselet transactions with the corresponding new transactions.

To create the interface of SAP and those 3rd party systems and manage the data transfer is also a job ob ABAP consultant.

  • Role of a functional consultant in an upgrade project

    Hello friends,
    My client is planning for an upgrade of 4.7 to ECC 6.0.
    Could you pls give me some info regarding the Role of a functional consultant in an upgrade project.
    Naveen

    The role of a functional consultant in an Upgrade depends on the scope of the project.
    whether it is a Technical Upgrade or a Functional Upgrade.
    Following would be some of responsibilities -
    Coordinate with Client  Business/Functional Team to identify critical business processes, understand the functionality of the custom developments
    Overall Test Planning, Preparation of Test Plans, test scripts and executing Unit and Integration testing
    Providing clarifications for functional related issues during UAT
    It is is functional upgrade analyze which custom functionalities can be retired and which can be brought back to standard.
    Prepare a POC on the recommended new functionalities on how these would be useful for the Client.
    Training the Client super users
    Preparing training documents
    Analyzing the obsolete transacations and modifying the documents with the new transactions
    Hope this helps you.

  • ABAPer role in upgrade project

    Hi,
    Please let me know the ABAPer role with upgrade project. When Std programs updated by support packs what are the responsibility of ABAPers?
    Thanks,
    Praneeth

    Hi,
    Automatic- It means that there will be a green icon. You will have to just click it and it is done.
    This is because the changes to the SAP Object have been done either via SNOTE for some note application or you have used the modification assistant. So SAP does not have any problem in determining the changes. So the adjustment is automatic.
    Semi-Automatic - In this case there will be a yellow icon. This means that you have to make some manual adjustments. This is because SAP considers that the adjustments are proper but still there is some discrepancy.Probably this is because you have made some note changes and additionally inserted some comments like begin of changes by xxxx on yyyyy for note zzzzz.
    So in this case SAP will give you a split screen editor in whihc your existing code and the one coming from support pack will come. So you have to adjust accordingly.
    Manual Adjustment - In this case there will be a red icon. This means that you have to make the chnages manually. This is because SAP finds a lot of discrepancy in your program and the one coming via support pack. The reason can be either the earlier note was incorrectly applied or you have added your own code for some custom requirment. So again SAP gives you the split screen editor to make the adjustments.
    Your assumptions about Reset to Original and Adopt Modifications are correct.
    I hope it solves your queries.

  • Abaper's role in the project ?

    Hi,
       Plz find the role of an ABAPer in different projects.
    SAP Implementation:
    SAP Implementation is the whole of processes that defines a complete method to
    implement SAP software in an organization. It is based on best practices and case studies from various literature sources and presents a collection of processes and products that make up a complete implementation method to allow any organization to plan and execute the implementation of SAP (ERP) software. The SAP implementation process is made up out of four main phases, i.e. the project preparation where a vision of the future-state of the SAP solution is being created, a sizing and blueprinting phase where the solution stack is created and training is being performed, a functional development phase and finally a final preparation phase, when the last tests are being performed before the actual go live.
    ABAP Developer Role is to prepare the Technical Specification (based on a Functional Specification given by a Functional Consultant), build the code, Review the code and finally to prepare the Unit Test Cases. Sometimes ABAPer may be asked to do a technical research for an optimal solution.
    SAP Support:
    After a go live, the application needs a maintenance/support to resolve the issues/tickets raised by the users when using the application. Ticket is like a request for changes/bug fixing or a request for a new ABAP Developer Role includes bug fixing/change the existing code due to new requirements/build a new code etc.
    SAP Upgrade:
    SAP Upgrade is nothing but upgrading the software with a superior version which has got more advantages when compared to the earlier version.
    ABAP Developer Role is to go through transactions SPAU/SPDD to compare the old and new version of the change and finally need to activate the relevant one. Some times might need to work on SAP notes too.

  • 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

  • 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.
    What kind of Problems one can face and solutions to it if possible.
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards
    Ullas

    Hi Ullas,
    please check this link
    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

  • SAP MM Functional Consultant's role in a Upgrade Project from 4.6C to 6.0

    Hi Guys,
    I will be thrown into a SAP Upgrade Project. I would appreciate if someone could shed some light on what a SAP MM Functional Consultants role would be in this kind of Project.
    I would appreciate a comprehensive guide where it includes role within each stage of the ASAP methodology for Upgrades.
    Thanks guys.

    > I will be thrown into a SAP Upgrade Project. I would appreciate if someone could shed some light on what a SAP MM Functional Consultants role would be in this kind of Project.
    - defining the core processes
    - test and customize them
    - release the customizing transports for production
    > I would appreciate a comprehensive guide where it includes role within each stage of the ASAP methodology for Upgrades.
    Since each project is different and each system has a different customizing/configuration it's not possible to generate a step-by-step guide what you have to do. The requirements are usually defined by the business.
    Your project leader should be able to give you a project plan (e. g. by using Solution Manager Upgrade Project) where you can get an idea based on the system you're going to upgrade.
