I have questions experts:
1. In case of upgrade / implementation of ECC6 what are the important consideration from testing point of view for all SAP HR Modules
2. MSS and ESS is implemented for Performance Appraisal. One role and 3000 to 4000 users (Managers) and employee portion of Performance appraisals is in ITS as a URL service to the BSP page. This will be migrated to WebDynpro from ITS , could you please let us know what are the important functional parameters we should consider for the above activity

SAP Upgradation from 4.5B to ECC 6.0

Hi all,
We need to upgrade from 4.5B to ECC 6.0. Gathered all the information abt. the 4.5 B system...Its on AIX using ORACLE.
I want to know few more info. with your help. i have access to the system through GUI, but didnt have OS level access..
1.) How to know whether the system is CLUSTER configured, any transaction?
2.) I didnt find any Upgradation Guide particular to AIX, can u pls. guide me the path for that in SMP?
3.) How to check whether its using any third party tools(Like Fire Fighter...etc) and any usage types configured(Like PI, BI...)
please guide me in knowing the above through GUI?
Thanks,
Subbu

Hi,
Roadmap is the recomended way to manage the Upgrade project, but this will not make anything automatic. If you don´t have the knowledge and time to configure the project in Solman then just follow the Upgrade Guide. In this Roadmap is included Technical and Funtional processes and it is an excellent starting point for the project but as already said, if don´t have the knowledge or any other person from the team either, then don´t worry much about it althoug it is imperative that a good Project is designed before starting the process either using MS Project or any other software, after the first tests you will have to adjust times for next upgrades.
Buy the way in the upgrade guide there are some sections specially dedicated to AIX but most parts of the process are the same for any OS/DB combo. Basically check prerequisites, do prepare, fix what ever is necesary and then run upgrade process.
Read the Upgrade Guide 2 or 3 times to get a clear Idea on what should be done before, during and after the upgrade process, read all related notes and have them printed in case of any problem.
AND you should have access to OS level, if you don´t then when doing Prepare or Upgrade then you won´t be able to look at the logs and that is Vital during the process. Also need to have access to SAP directories to check and change files like copying upgrade DVD's, upgrading R3trans, TP, etc so explain that to them or make one of them to be next to you.
Good Luck

Upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0 - change text of infotype 0002 screen

Hello Guru,
My client is upgrading from 4.6C to ECC 6.0. In 4.6C the field RUFNM text in infotype screen for 0002 is "Know As" where in ECC 6.0 is now "Nickname". The field is P0002-RUFNM? If I want to change the text in ECC 6.0 from 'Nickname' to "Know As". What is the best option? Modify the screen? or change the Data element? or any better way?
Thanks

Hi Bob,
To change the Field Text, Data Element would be the better option.
Good Luck

Upgrade from 4.6b to ECC 6.0 abap changes?

Hi all,
Kindly can any one provide me documentation on upgrading from 4.6 to ECC 6.0 Related to changes in abap code, obsolet functions, etc.
It will be very helpful If you can help me.
Thanking you in advance,

ERP 6.0 has > 200.000 ABAP programs and function modules and other objects, having such "delta list" doesn´t make sense. Would you want to compare the programs one-by-one?
Between 4.6B and ERP 6.0 are many years of development and many many uncountable changes.
Please be a bit more specific what you want to check, then we may help.

Not able to sort any grid after Tools upgrade from 8.49.10 to 8.50.07

Not able to sort any grid after Tools upgrade from 8.49.10 to 8.50.07, also when I click on any prompt button the prompt values are displaying in a separate screen rather than displaying in a model window.

I have resolved it by applying stylesheets and clearing the cache.

SAP AFS Upgrade from version 5.0 to 6.4

Hi Experts,
I wanted to know if someone here was familiar with the SAP AFS upgrade from 5.0 to 6.4. I wanted to know how exactly they improved the areas listed below. (obtained from SAP Course). Your help would be greatly appreciated
http://www.sap.com/services/education/catalog/globaltabbedcourse.epx?context=%5b%5b|wdedaf||1||de|%5d%5d|
1) Improvements in the areas of planned independent requirements, seasonal concept, value add services, Combined order, productionu2013 warehouse interface
2) Production Planning Basic Data - Enhancements of AFS Bill of Material (AFS BOM), SKU Group Based Routing
3) Manufacturing Execution u2013 Collective Planned Order Conversion, Combined Order Confirmations
4) Batch Determination/Classification for SAP Apparel and Footwear
5) Handling Unit Management for AFS
Thanks,

Hi Ronny,
Thanks for the reply!
These patches you speak of, is it for the types of issues I mentioned in my first post or do they cover the entire AFS functionality? I assume it still requires complex configurations but are there a lot of complications with going from AFS 5.0 to 6.4, compared to a new AFS 6.4 implementation? Specifically with the grids, categories and BOMs?
/Cheers

Interview questions on upgrades from 4.7 to ECC

Hi,
Can any one please post some potential areas/questions that will be asked for upgrade projects from 4.7 to ECC6.0
Points will be awarded.
Thanks

Hi Frank,
this is good question, why because sap upgrades from 4.6b to ecc 6.0 is very risky.
take one example , in 4.5b , me21n application having 620 screen where as in ecc 6.0 having 9000 screen . that time we will take care of it.
check the obsolete function modules , 4.5b , having ws_upload, ws_download.... use cl_gui_frontend_services , under these having differnt type of methods.
once you change the code in ecc , go to tranx : SLIN check the error where it is exact.

Schema error after upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 5.0

Hi all,
We have recently upgraded from 4.6C to ECC 5.0. We are having problem in payroll run. When I did a syntax check in schema, I got "UDPM" rule doesn't exist. I checked, this rule is present in 4.6C. This is the standard rule. If I am right, it should have come with upgrade right?
or SAP has changed this? From where Can I get the info about this?
Also similar error I got in Function 'USTAX' parameter 3 is not allowed. If I remove that parameter, I don't know what is the implication of that.
I checked for SAP notes. I did not find anything.
Please let me know if any of you have come with such situation.
Thanks in advance.
Sarika.

Hi Sarika,
We are also in a similar transition i.e. 4.6C to mysap Ecc5.0 . But we are on Canadian Payroll.
I had search OSS and got a PDF document regarding " Upgrading to SAP R/3 Enterprize - A User Guide to Canadian mysap HR Customers" . U may be can find a similar one for US payroll. I can give u mine, but it wont be of any use as it is for Canadian Payroll.
In Canadian mysap Upgrade , the function P0224 has been replaced by function KXDTM . Although P0024 is still in used in Schema K00T for conversion purposes.

Table Enhancement Category during upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0

When our sandbox was upgraded from 4.7 to ECC 6.0, Basis had the ABAP developers change the Enhancement Category on about 400 tables, some of which were custom tables. The enhancement category was previously u2018not classifiedu2019 on these tables.
Is this really necessary? Has anyone not changed the enhancement categories on tables that were flagged during the upgrade? Also, what happens if we select the wrong enhancement category?

Jane,
This is what SAP says,
Short Text
Enhancement Category Selection
Definition
Structures and tables that were defined by SAP in the ABAP Dictionary can be enhanced subsequently by customers using Customizing includes or append structures. The enhancements do not only refer to structures/ tables themselves, but also to dependent structures that adopt the enhancement as an include or referenced structure. Append structures that only take effect at the end of the original structure can also cause shifts - in the case of dependent structures - even within these structures.
You must select an enhancement category for the following reason: In programs where there is no active Unicode check, enhancements to tables and structures can cause syntax and runtime errors during type checks and particularly in combination with deep structures.
In programs where there is an active Unicode check, statements, operand checks, and accesses with an offset and length are problematic - for example, if numeric or deep components are inserted into a purely character-type structure and the structure thus loses its character- type nature.
Depending on the structure definition, the radio buttons allowed in the dialog box are ready for input. Choose one of the possible enhancement categories:
Cannot be enhanced
The structure must not be enhanced.
Can be enhanced or character type
All structure components and their enhancements must be character-type (C, N, D, or T). The original structure and all enhancements through Customizing includes or through append structures are subject to this limitation.
Can be enhanced or character-type or numeric
The structure and its enhancement must not contain any deep data types (tables, references, strings).
Can be enhanced in any way
The structure and its enhancement may contain components whose data type can be of any type.
Not classified
This category can be chosen, for example, for a transition status; however, it must not be chosen for creating structures.
The rules for defining the enhancement category result implicitly from the structure setup and the classification of the types used. These rules are as follows:
If the object contains at least one numeric type or a substructure or component (field has a structure/table/view as its type) that can be enhanced numerically, the object can no longer be enhanced character-type, but is itself, at most, enhanceable character-type or numeric.
If the object contains a deep component (string, reference, or table type), or it contains a substructure or component that is marked as enhanceable in any way, then the object itself is enhanceable in any way.
If the object does not contain any substructure or component that is marked as enhanceable, you can select cannot be enhanced. If the structure has not yet been enhanced, you can choose the category cannot be enhanced in any case.
If you are creating new tables and structures in the ABAP Dictionary, the system proposes the category can be enhanced in any way as standard value for the classification of the enhancement options. If the developer chooses a more restrictive classification than can be enhanced in any way for a particular structure, then only the classification levels that adhere to the rules above are allowed. It is not possible to choose an enhancement option of a structure that is more restrictive than the classification resulting immplicitly from the structure setup and from the classification of the types used. Therefore, only the allowed categories are proposed for selection in the maintenance user interface.
If a structure depends on one or several other structures, the smallest category is chosen as implicit classification (in the order cannot be enhanced < can be enhanced and character-type < can be enhanced and character-type or numeric < can be enhanced in any way). This classification is greater than or less than the category in the other structures and also greater than or the same as the category that results from the actual setup in the original structure itself.

Click on Search
then it displays the Release Version and the Delta Functionality. Which can be downloaded to a word document if required.
And also check the release notes of ECC 6.0 in service.sap.com.
When you are upgrading from 4.6C to ECC6
Nothing major, follow the same process you'd follow if you were updating PI service packs in R/3 or enhancing data sources. Empty queues in RSA7 and lbwq. Also empty setup tables through lbwg as the upgrade doesn't like it if these tables contain data. This is all on the R/3 side (although you empty RSA7 by running each delta TWICE in BW).
To transfer queues from lbwq to rsa7, execute jobs through LO cockpit (lbwe).
Some of your data sources could also be using sm13 instead of lbwq, so do check it out as well.
For installing ECC 6.0 you required a solution manager key. With out solution manager key you cannot install ECC6.0.
For ECC 6.0 is called net weaver component here you have ABAP+JAVA stack.
ECC6.0 supports UNCODE.
For installing 4.6 you don't require solution manager key. It only having ABAP stack.
4.6C supports NONUNICODE.
Major difference is ECC6 is netwear product having WASJAVA+ABAP
secondly support unicode apart from this we have other diff. you can get form master guide from service.sap.com/instguides.
Please go through the link that is shown here and if there is any doubts then feel free to ask.
