Approach to migration project
Hello Gurus
Am on a migration project,can anyone please suggest me the approach of how to do migration. To be clear, how to do migration based on modules or objects or dataflows. Please help
I'd start with the basic elements: InfoObjects and Master Data. Once those are covered, it will be easier to migrate the other structures.
Follow the approach by Business Area/Module, that way you work following the logic/flow of that area and get to double check any impact in the related data/structures.
And, of course, follow the "natural" data flow... Datasources, Infosources, Transfer Rules, Update Rules, Transformations, DTPs, ODS, InfoCube, Queries (if needed).
Also pay special attention to user security settings just to make sure you don't have problems on that aspect.
Good luck...

Hi Folks,
What's the best approach to migrate projects to e sourcing system and what are the templates used .
Thank you,
HMHello,
I never got such requirement in the past. But when I was going through the system, I found a template for Projects.
I didn't get any option to attach an excel in SCN, hence I converted it to notepad and attaching.
Hope this helps!!

Migrate Project Server configurations
Hi,
I would like to export the configuration elements of Ms Project Server 2010 such as EPT, Custom Fields and Lookup from one environment(DEV) to another. I have used Playbook tool for migraition. However, Playbook doesn't work with https site.
Are there utilities, add-ons and approaches to migrate Ms Project Server elements across environments? I would appreciate any help in this regard.Hello,
For Project Server 2010, Playbooks is the only free tool, others such as Fluent Pro are paid for. The other options you have if Playbooks is failing on your HTTPS site are:
Make PWA access via HTTP using Alternate Access Mapping
Write your own backup and restore tool
Migrate the whole Project Server data and config using the rollover approach.
http://pwmather.wordpress.com/2012/04/10/projectserver-2010-environment-rollover-steps-powershell-ps2010-msproject-sp2010/ - probably only suitable if you are going from Production to DEV etc.

Access Migration Error Creating Migration Project - string literal too long
I get this error when attempting to create an MS Access Migration Project:
ORA-20001: GET_BLOCK Error. ORA-20001: GET_STMT error. ORA-20001: Execution of the statement was unsuccessful. ORA-06550: line 8, column 8: PLS-00172: string literal too long <pre>begin <br>declare <br> p varchar(32767) := null; <br> l_clob clob; <br>begin <br> dbms_lob.createtemporary(l_clob,FALSE, dbms_lob.session); <br> dbms_lob.open(l_clob,dbms_lob.lob_
I suspected the 'string literal too long' was due to a very long code section in the Exporter .sql file -
So I edited out that code except - essentially by cutting the macro code within the quotes, cutting down that code module.
Same error.
Any suggestions on what else may be causing this?
Thanks - KarenI found it - two other big long ugly macros that I had to cut out as well. Then the migration project created just fine. Thanks for the moral support :)

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,
SampallyDear 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

2 Problems after migration Project Server 2007 to 2010
Hi Everyone!!
I have 2 issues after migrate MS Project Server 2007 to Project Server 2010, in fact i had a lot issues, but i can solve almost all, so after solve all issues, just is pendings 2 issues very rare:
Backgrounds:
Migrated from: Windows Server 2008R2 - SQL Server 2008 R2 - Proejct Server 2007 with WSS 3.0 - All updates are up to date (CU is up to date) and all platform is ok
To: Windows Server 2008R2 - SQL Server 2008 R2 - Project Server 2010 SP2 - SharePoint Server 2010 SP2 - All updates are up to date (CU is up to date) and all platform is ok
3 Servers in the Farm, ----> 1WFE-1WAPP-1DB
Issues:
In the Project Center, some migrate Project don't show the icon with image about project documents, risk and issues although that project effectively have documents , risk and issues
In "Server Settings" , in section "Operational Policies" in "Project Sites" almost all projects don't show the URL with Project Site
For the issues 1 and 2, i tried some things:
Re publish all projects (approx 700 projects) with a script via PowerShell available in technet
Run the Wizard Again
Rebuild Solution
Restart the all Servers in the Farm
Restart Services ----> IIS - Project EventService - ProjectQueue - SharePoint Timer
and i can't solve it yet!!!
Please Any Ideas?
Erick Gutiérrez PMI Membership #ID 2089740 MTCS - Microsoft Project Server Managing ProjectsHave you restored content DB successfully?
for point 2 have you performed:
have you synchronized project site under server setting --> operational policies --> Bulk Update Project
Sites
http://pwmather.wordpress.com/2012/10/08/projectserver-2010-bulk-update-project-site-issue-ps2010-msproject-sp2010-sharepoint/
after doing this publish all the project which are having issue it may solve your 1st issue.
You can check if below condition is applies to you (PWA 2007)
You may need to use the WSS site re-linker tool –
now built in to Server Settings in PWA as “Bulk Update Project Sites”. If you have changed URL die to a different port then re-linking should get your sites in order. In upgrade scenarios the “Previous Site Path” Web application might show as a GUID
in the drop down – however it still works and will re-link the sites.

How to migrate projects from another (external) system into PS
Hi,
Which technique to use in your opinion is the best practice to migrate projects in PS?
Batch input or ABAP program and use BAPIS? or is ther other alternative?
Best regards
Jose MarinHello Jose,
Open PS is the best option, If your external system is MSP. There is no standard LSMW prog available for uploading the Projects. Howvever there are certain BAPIs available
1.BAPI_PS_INITIALIZATION
2.BAPI_BUS2001_CREATE
3.BAPI_BUS2054_CREATE_MULTI
4.BAPI_BUS2001_SET_STATUS (To set the status at project level)
OR
BAPI_BUS2054_SET_STATUS (To set the status at WBS element level)
5.BAPI_PS_PRECOMMIT.
I guess you don't have to code again for this. Whatever structures and internal tables in BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN can be used to populate the above BAPIs.I have checked on BAPI_PROJECT_MAINTAIN and this creates a Project definition too.
Good option is to create a custom program and load data using the BAPIu2019s.The program should perform couple of pre-validations and should have error handling capability as well.
Thanks

Approach To migrate forms6i to 11g
Hi ,
We are in the process of upgrading forms 6i to forms11g.
i) what is the best practice to migrate ?
a) Is it advisable to use Oracle Migration Assitant or to convert it using APEX.
b) Are there any pros and cons of using both the approach
Is Migration Assitant or Apex alone sufficinet to convert from forms6i to 11g. how to handle the obseleted features of 6i in 11g.
are there any other considertaion to be noted while upgrading to 11g
Appreciate your inputs on this.
Regards
sunilLet me address your questions
1) See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/doc.1111/e10394/toc.htm
a) YOu could use the Forms migration assistant but its not a requirement. Regarding APEX - well, if you choose Apex thats your choice but you are choosing a different technology and you'll pretty much be looking at a re-write. See http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/10gR2/formsmigration.pdf
b) See the above link for some details on migration to APex. If you stay with Forms then you have the following benefits
Application look and feel will be similar in 11g as 6i - so no end user retraining
Development environment is the same - no need to retrain developers
You preserve the investment you have in Forms
YOu don't have to spend time/cost/risk in moving to a different technology.
Obsolete features see http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/forms/pdf/forms_upgrade_reference.pdf

Hi,
This is my first data migration project. We have to migrate SAP PS transactional data from SAP 4.7 to SAP 6.0. My task is to migrate WBS element data to the new system. To do that I need to do field and Value mapping also. Please suggest how do we go about completing the task at hand and also suggest what else do we migrate in SAP PS.Hi,
If it is a new system, you can use BDC/LSMW/BAPI for uploading the data to PS.
Also topic have been already discussed in the forum. You can refer below threads for more info:

Steps to migrate Project Server 2007 from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008?
We need to migrate Project server 2007 from SQL Server 2005 to SQL Server 2008.
1. Is it as simple as doing backup and restore of databases and pointing Project Server to the new DB server? Or there are some specific steps that should be followed?
2. Article at
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd207290(office.12).aspx is about moving databases from one DB server to another (same versions). At one place, it mentions to
backup all databases but at another place it mentions that
You should only back up the Draft and Published databases from the source database server.
What should be done when moving from 2005 to 2008?
Regards,
Amit
GuptaHigh Level step you can get this form Tech net or MSDN too
Shut down the SharePoint servers (App / Web)
backup all of the SharePoint and Project
Server databases from the SQL 2005 server
copy these over to the new SQL 2008 server and restore all of
the databases with the same names
script out all of the logins used by SharePoint/PS from the SQL 2005 server and create these on the SQL 2008 server
script out the Delete expired sessions SQL job from the SQL 2005 server and create this on the SQL 2008 server - or create them manually on the SQL 2008 server
repoint the SQL server DNS Alias from the SQL 2005 server to the SQL 2008 server, if SharePoint and Project Server was installed using the actual SQL server name and no alias, you can create a DNS alias for the old SQL 2005 server name that points to the SQL
2008 server. This is so that the SharePoint servers can still connect to the same SQL server name
Start up the SharePoint servers

Reg: Universe Designing (Migration Project)
Hi Gurus,
I need Informtion related to the migration project.
Migrating BO 5.1.7 to BO XI R 3.1.
the old universe with old database is structured as.
Eg: PTKEN as table name and objects as PTKEN.WASId
the new ( migrated universe ) has the database structure as
Eg: KEM_LKP_PTKEN as table anem and objects as WASId
What the process has to be done to change all the tables in the universe with the new database...
Regards
L K Vepuri
Edited by: L K Vepuri on Feb 28, 2011 3:56 PMHi Mr. Vepuri,
If the table name is changed at the universe level then follow the below steps.
1. Open the universe in the designer
2. Right click on the table which has been modified and rename it with the changed name.
3. Click on the View>> Refresh Structure.
4. and check whether it throws any error message or not.
For Object PTKEN.WASId--- what does it mean?
Is it column name or object name at universe level.
Object definition of each object is visible as Table_Name.Column_Name.
If you want to change the object name then you can rename it.
In order to propagate the changes made at a database level to universe level always click on the View >>refresh structure
Hope it helps.
Thanks,

How to modify developers' access to limit the ability to migrate projects?
In PeopleTools 8.48 how to modify the developers’ access to limit the ability to migrate projects ?
Thanks in advance for your help.Yes you can do this through Permission lists.
Create a new permission, on Peopletools tab, click Tools Permissions
Set Upgrade to No Access
All these settings are defined in Peoplebooks - PeopleTools 8.49 PeopleBook: SEcurity administration, Setting up Permission lists
There is a section called Tools Permissions.
Note: PeopleSoft Administrator Role overrides this value.
Example:
Permission DEVELOP - has the settings above, to No Access for Upgrade.
This Permission list is in 90DEVL, 90QA, 90PROD.
If you give Develoers - PeopleSoft Administrator role in 90DEVL, 90QA .. They could copy projects between 90DEVL and 90QA, but could never copy to 90PROD.
It depends on how much control between development instances you want in regards to copying projects.

How to migrate Project Server 2003 to Project Online?
Hi Guys,
Is it possible to migrate Project Server 2003 to Project Online directly? I heard we normally have to take 3 hops for this;
1. Project Server 2003 - Project Server 2007 migration.
2. Project Server 2007 - Project Server 2010 migration.
3. Finally, Project Server 2010 - Project Online migration.
Is there a migration tool we can use to simply jump from Project Server 2003 to Project Online?
Thank You,
ArnelNO, directly you can not migrate. You have to follow the sequence
1. Project Server 2003 to project server 2007
2. Project Server 2007 to project server 2010
3. Project Server 2010 to project server 2013 online.
Unfortunately we dont have nay tool which will help us to do this .
Microsoft has a virtual machine (2007) that you can use to jump to 2007. Basically the databases of 2003 must be converted to 2007. Once this is done (database at 2007) you can use this database as start point to be converted to 2010.
Microsoft has virtual machine for 2010 too if you want you can use it rather than creating your own environment.
Don't use 2007 backward compatibility mode in 2010, we experienced some issues with it.
