Best upgrade path for ECC 6.0

Hello,
We've been stuck on the base ECC 6.0 release for quite a while.  There hasn't been management support for the time/resources necessary to implement and test any upgrades.  We also have a lot of local modifications to SAP supplied programs that we're planning on phasing out so that we keep closer to standard.  This is one of the main reasons we haven't been able to upgrade because of the effort involved in changing processes back to standard.  There was also an unwillingness on specific parts of the user base to change their processes.   We're now in a position where business and reporting requirements are going to force a system upgrade.  We also need run a unicode conversion from non-unicode at the same time.
As we're starting the planning process we're unsure of the best path to allow us to implement future upgrades as necessary.  I see that EHP 7 runs on a basis version of Netweaver 7.40.  Is upgrading to an EHP pack for ECC 6 better than upgrading directly to 7.4?  Can the unicode conversion be done at the same time?
I looked over previous discussions in upgrades but haven't found something that seems to match what we're looking to do.
Thanks.

Good Day
As you have an ECC 6.0 system then you need to do an EHP update on the system.
The latest is EHP7. EHP 7 is based on SAP NetWeaver 7.4 so when you update the system to EHP 7 you will be on NetWeaver 7.4
The most important thing here is that you need to have a supported OS and DB for EHP7 installation. From EHP6 there is a need to have a higher version of OS and DB.
Check PAM for the supported OS and DB combination.

Regarding Unicode conversion you may read this.
2033243 - End of non-Unicode Support: Release Details
If you want to do the Unicode conversion then you should follow CUUC.

  • Recommended upgrade path for 9.0.2.0.1

    Hi,
    Could you please help me in finding the recommended upgrade path for Oracle Application Server 9.0.2.0.1?
    What would be the sequence of upgrade and can we install in the existing oracle homes?
    The current scenario is given below:
    Host #1 - Infrastructure Installation with OID database (9.0.2.0.1)
    - Seperate portal database with portal schema
    Host #2 - Middle tier installation (9.0.2.0.1)
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Sindhiya V.

    If you are upgrading to 10.1.2, the upgrade process is automated and the error reporting is very good (in case you run into any issues). Please check the Upgrade and Compatibility Guide available at
    (For Windows - http://iasdocs/iasdl/1012win_doc/upgrade.1012/upgrade/toc.htm
    (Oracle® Application Server Upgrade and Compatibility Guide 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) for Microsoft Windows )
    and For Unix - http://iasdocs/iasdl/1012sol_doc/upgrade.1012/upgrade/toc.htm).
    (Oracle® Application Server Upgrade and Compatibility Guide 10g Release 2 (10.1.2) for UNIX )
    (there should be the same doc available on OTN, so search by the doc name)
    The upgrade of AS to 10.1.2 has gone through complete QA cycle and is a robust and easy process.
    If you are upgrading to 10.1.3.x, then it's a different process; since there are lots of significant new features in 10.1.3. You will need to install the new Application Server and deploy your application.
    Note, for database access, Oralce has re-implemented the dataso urce in 10.1.3.x releases. so for the config file data-sources.xml, it's automatically converted to the new format file underneath. So your existing data-sources.xml should work. But you could use admin.jar command to convert the file manually as well. please check service guide data source chapter.

    Pl quantify what you mean by "best" ?
    You can directly upgrade from 11.2.0.2 to 12c - http://docs.oracle.com/database/121/UPGRD/preup.htm#UPGRD12358
    Using DBUA is recommended over any other upgrade method - http://docs.oracle.com/database/121/UPGRD/upgrade.htm#UPGRD105

  • Upgrade path for ESS/MSS business package while upgrading to ECC 6.0

    Hi All,
    We have a scenario where SAP Enterprise Portal 7.0 SP 18 is currently running with SAP ECC 4.6C. SAP ECC is being upgraded to SAP ECC 6.0 and consequently we have a requirement to upgrade to the latest ESS/MSS business package. In a scenario like this what is SAP recommended approach for ESS/MSS upgrade? My questions are
    1) Is a direct upgrade of ESS/MSS possible? If this is possible, then how will it be done on a production system with reduced or no downtime?
    2) Should ESS/MSS business package be deployed and configured afresh after removing/undeploying the existing version of ESS/MSS business package? If this is the case how would the earlier customizations be restored?
    3) Is there any other approach?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Suresh,
    In my openion, it will be good if you go for new implementation, reason being as you mentiond ECC versionyou are on is 4.6c all the ESS applications are ITS based now a days all the application/iView for ESS are Webdynpro for Java or WD for ABAP based.
    Till the time the new portal ready you can continue with your currect one (No down time require).
    Most of the people are using this way. (Check the SDN for more details).
    Also chcek this migration guide, which will give you the basic steps required.

  • Hi, I currently have Lightroom 5.6 for MAC and Adobe has launched Lightroom 6 - I am trying to understand if there is an upgrade path for 5.6 users and how much does it cost, if any or is a forklift upgrade i.e. new software all together.  Thanks

    Hi, I am a Lightroom user and currently have 5.6 version (DVD Version).  The lightroom 6 version, for existing lightrrom users, is there an upgrade path or it is a new software entirely.  In either cases, what costs are associated.
    Thanks,
    Raj

    LR 6 is a new payfor upgrade, $80 in the US if you have the serial-number-licensed LR 5.  If you're already using the CC version of LR+PS then it just comes along as a new app you can install.
    It’ll run alongside your LR5 so you can try it out and see if it’s something you want.
    The only trial is a LR-6-CC version that you can convert to a serial-number-licensed version if you buy a serial-number.  I think the download in LR 5 when it notifies you of an upgrade is what you can use to try it, although I don’t have personal experience with that seeing as I have the CC version of LR+PS so the CC App provided the Install button for me.
    The main issues people are having are for some system configurations performance is worse.  Adobe rewrote it to use the GPU in the Develop module but some people’s video cards aren’t up  to the task, and for some people even turning off the GPU, while speeding things up, doesn’t make it as fast as LR 5.
    On my system it seems to work great.

  • Upgrade Path for migrating Essbase 7.1 to Essbase 11.1.2.1??

    Can any one tell me the upgrade path (and related documents) for migrating Essbase 7.1 to Essbase 11.1.2.1??

    Thanks Nathan for your response.
    Will the below Essbase Upgrade steps work (From version 7.1 to Version 11.1.2.1 directly)?
    1. Install Essbase 11.1.2.1 in one server (new) and Shared Services in another server (new). Both the new servers with Win 2008 OS.
    2.Login to EAS console in the new server. Open the outline version 7.1 and then migrate to version 11.1.2.1.
    3. Copy the artifacts (such as Calc Scripts and Rule Files etc.) from the Old Essbase directory (Version 7.1) to the new Essbase directory (Version 11.1.2.1).
    4. Extract data from the old system and import into the new system.
    5. Export Essbase security from old system and import to the shared services of the new system. This might requires some manual interventions.
    Or, do I have to upgarde from version 7.1 to 11.1.1.3 and then from 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.1?

  • Recommended Upgrade path for Apex 3.1.1

    Hi Everyone,
    just wondering what the recommended upgrade path from Apex 3.1 to 3.1.1 is. Is it just installing the Patch or is there an upgrade option for the full-3.1.1-version?
    The reason i'm asking is not everyone has access to metalink and can therefor not download the patch from there but the full version from OTN
    thanks,
    Peter

    Peter,
    As with our previous patch sets, we release a full, new install on OTN and only release the patch via MetaLink (it is one of the benefits for customers with database support). You can use the full release to upgrade from 3.0 (or before) to 3.1.1 but to get from 3.1 to 3.1.1 you need either the patch or you need to do a new install.

  • Upgrade path for BI Publisher

    Hi,
    We are using Oracle BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.1 deployed with in Oracle application server SOA suite 10.1.3.1.0 on its own. We plan to upgrade our application server area to WEBLOGIC suite some time soon.
    Finally, we want to deploy Oracle BI Publisher into WEBLOGIC suite along with oracle forms/reports etc with high availability.
    I checked with oracle through SR and as per them as of now there no migration path for Oracle BI Publisher on WEBLOGIC suite.
    1) Can any one give idea of what will be migration path for Oracle BI Publisher on WEBLOGIC which will co-exists with oracle forms/reports etc
    Thanks

    We are trying to create graphical reports from Oracle Financial Statement Generator (FSG) xml output. I personally have extensive exposure working with XML (BI) Publisher but until recently I have never tried to use the BIP charting wizard to create graphical reports from FSG xml output out of EBS 11i/R12.
    I created an SR with Oracle but they had to create an enhancement request for this issue. Does anyone know or have any idea on how we can accomplish this. The charting wizard pops up but the xml tags available do not make any sense.
    If anybody has any idea please send me an email at [email protected]
    Thanks,

  • Upgrade path for Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web Premium

    Where do I get propper informations about the upgrade path if I´m owner of a "Adobe Creative Suite 6 Design & Web-Premium Upgrade (MAC) - Upgrade from Adobe Creative Suite 5.5"
    It seems to me that I have to buy one of the CS 5.5 versions listed on the package to install the upgrade but I´m unshure about the language.
    Do I have to buy a english version or am I free to choose a version provided for the EU or Switzerland (as labled on the package, too)? I am a german user with a swiss background.
    It would be very kind if you could help me with this!
    I´m absolutly unshure and can´t find my way in this version jungle :.-(
    Greetings, Sascha
    P.S.: At the moment I don´t want to upgrade to a CC-Version!

    Okay... it seems to me that one of the following versions should be a good base for a regular update path:
    Design Prem/Std CS5.5, Web Prem/Std CS5.5, Production Prem CS5.5, Master Collection CS5.5
    A regular version 5.0 shouldn´t fit the requirements. So I´m only unshure about any language restrictions?
    Thank you, Sascha
