[Hello ,|http://chandranonline.blogspot.com]
BI Upgrade Project will be a challenging one. Upgrade is a process and will never end with this version. Today its BI7.0 then later it can be some new version.
You will have to identify the new functionality and map to the existing one. Some time the entire technical feature may change example, implementing Business Objects.
See these checklist docs for more

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)

How can I work on a Logic Project in Logic9 with a user who is running LogicX without just trading stems?

I am running logic9 and don't want to upgrade to X yet, but my writing partner is using LogicX and we haven't been able to figure out how to open Projects and share between us on DropBox. All we can do is pass audio files back and forth. Any thoughts?

Just another thought..... according to this
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5794
"When you open an older project in Logic Pro X it does not change the original project in any way. Instead, a new copy in the Logic Pro X project format is created which leaves the original project in place. You can continue to work with the original project in the version of Logic it was last saved in if you want."
Does this mean the 9 project will open with the changes made in X, if it's just adding audio files to the arrange?

You may wish to have a look at draft portrayed below,rest you learn when you drive
Lessons Learnt - Upgrade
1)Convert Data Classes of InfoCubes. Set up a new data class as described in SAP OSS Note 46272.
2)Pay attention to the naming convention. Execute the RSDG_DATCLS_ASSIGN report.
3)Run the report RSUPGRCHECK to activate objects.
4)Upgrading ABAP and JAVA in parallel may cause issues. If there is no custom development on J2EE instance, it is recommended to drop the J2EE instance and re-install the latest J2EE instance after the upgrade.
5)Apply SAP OSS Note 917999 if you include the Support Patch 6 with the upgrade or you will get the error at PARCONV_UPG phase. When you upgrade to a product containing Basis 700, the phase PARCONV_UPG terminates. You included Basis Support Packages up to package level 6 (SAPKB70006) in the upgrade. The job RDDGENBB_n terminates with the error RAISE_EXCEPTION. In addition to this, the syslog contains the short dump TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED. The program SDB2FORA terminates in the statement "LOOP AT stmt_tab". An endless loop occurs when the system creates the database table QCM8TATOPGA.
6)Apply the OSS note 917999 if you get the following error during PARCONV_UPG phase: PARCONV_UPG terminates with TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOG_FAILED

Upgrade projects and Compare and ajust func.???

Hi All.
I am trying setting up a demo of the benefits using SolMan for upgrade projects with Compare and Adjust functionality.
I am following a guide with the following steps:
1. Create an Implementation project with some processes from BPR (Using SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.7 as logical component).
2. Model (change) the processes to simulate that a not fully SAP std. process is used at this compagny.
3. Copy the implementation project to an Upgrade Project (with option "Adjust target project to original of the source project".
4. Adding logical component SAP R/3 ECC 6.0 to the system landscape.
5. Executing transaction SA_PROJECT_UPGRADE for the Upgrade project.
Now, when I go to the project, I see no marking of changes anywhere...
Could this be because I am using the wrong processes in my Implementation project from BPR?
Does anyone have a good example of processes that can be good to demo this?
Thanks in advance!
