BI 7.0 and ECC 5.0 support packs
Need help getting started with BI. We are investiagting a new installation of BI 7.0. It will be integrated with an existing ECC 5.0 R/3 system. Does that ECC 5.0 R/3 have to be at a certain support pack or kernel level?
If yes, where do I find out what level?
Thanks in advance, Jay
Hi, ECC 5.0 use Netweaver 2004 and BI7 Netweaver 2004s then :
In ECC 5.0 :
Make user and not supere the 8 chars, password is UPPERCASE not more the 8 Length.
In BI7 :
Make user normaly and remember in BI7 UpperCase and Low Case is used.
Bye.

Issues with POWL action buttons and row selection after Support Packs
We recently applied ECC 603 Support Stack 16 to our environment and are having problems with some SAP standard POWL lists (example is KYKOP-OPS-MM-PO-W: Purchase Orders for Goods Receipt). In fact all of the POWL lists that we are using are behaving the same way. There are 2 changes that have happened after moving to this stack.
1. In order to select a row in the list, we now have to press ctrl + click, previously, just clicking the the row would select it and fire the OnLeadSelection
2. All of the Action Buttons in the POWL lists are disabled.
I have debugged the Feeder Class /KYK/CL_MM_FEEDER_PO and see in th GetActions method and see that the ls_actions-enabled is getting set to true, but for some reason the buttons are disabled when the list is rendered.
I've checked a side-effects report from OSS and have come up empty handed. Has anyone else run into this?
EricI have found an OSS note that addresses this problem. This problem will effect anyone who is using ALV for ABAP WebDynpro after applying BASIS Support Pack 20 for 7.0. The OSS note is 1363334. Question Answered.

Pre-requisites for Support Packs in BI 7.0 System
Hello Everyone,
We are planning on applying support packs to our BI 7.0 system where we currently are at SP13 and we are not applying any support packs in ECC 6.0 system.
The question is,
Do we have to clear out the delta queues in ECC system before we can apply the support packs in BW system.
We will clear out the RSA7 in BW system.
So, the concern is do we need to have downtime in ECC if so....would it have to be through out the support pack process in BI system.
Please let me know would data be corrupted in ECC if we do not clear out the delta queues.
Because technically, we are not applying any changes in ECC system. All the support pack activities will be performed in BI environment and the RSA7 within BI will be taken care of. So, am not sure why would we have to clear out the delta queues in ECC when applying support packs in BI system which does not change anything on ECC side.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dharma.I am not sure about first two questions that you have asked.
Whenever you applying support packages in your BI system, no trasaction code should be executed. otherwise you would short dumps in your BI system.
you should lock all the userids before you go for upgrade. And no need of downtime in ECC but you should not do any load extraction from R/3.
Morever best thing is upgrading ECC as well. it is better to have both systems upgraded and in same level.
Hope my reply would help you in some extent. -
Hi,
We are moving into the SAP ECC enviroment and need to understand the difference between the 2 Support Packs Release 600, Level 11 (support pack SAPKGPAD11) vs Release 604, Level 03 (support pack SAPK-60403INEAAPPL).
Can anyone give us an indication in terms of functionality what we should be looking out for? During the testing we already came across and issue regarding double invoicing but this was fixed with a OSS note.
From a coding, functionality, intergration and process perspective,how do we know what the differences are? Is there a document that lists these difference as a quick comparison between the two releases.
Thanks in advanceHi,
There is lot of difference btween 2. ECC System with EHP4 (Release 604 Level 3), ECC package will be on 604 release and level represents the support pack level of 604 release. If your system is on this level then it means that your system is with Enhancement packages but if your ECC components are on release 600 then it is without Enhancement packages.
Enhancement packages has been delivered a lot of new things like New GL etc. More information for what extra features ECC 6.0 with EHP4 has: can be checked on http://service.sap.com/erp-ehp.
To take your system from 600 release to 604 release requires a lot of effort because you have to upgrade your system to bring at this release.
Thanks

Transport failure in QAS system after support pack stack 9 upgrade
We have a DEV->QAS>PRD ECC system landscape. Recently we upgraded our DEV, QAS and PRD system to support pack stack 9 (with Kernel level 137). After the upgrade, we got transport failure in QAS where it shows pink colored down arrow which shows unable to open import queue when I click on it under stms import overview. If I put back the old kernel (Level 69), transport works just fine. DEV is the TP domain controller. When I run the RTPTEST in QAS, it show sthe follwing info:
RFC Destination
Destination CALLTP_WindowsNT
tp Path E:\usr\sap\QAS\DVEBMGS02\exe\tp.EXE
tp Executable Size: 10.352.432 bytes
RFC Ping Error when opening an RFC connection
tp Call
RFC Link Error when opening an RFC connection
tp Version
DB Connect
Offline Call Error when opening an RFC connection
I will greately appreciate any input to resolve this issue.
ThanksYou need to upgrade two component of your kernel tp and R3trans
Also perform an additonal test with new kernel
cd /usr/sap/trans/bin
tp connect <SID> pf=TP_DOMAIN_<SID_DC>.PFL
If you have issue to connect it means there is some issue with tp tool and/or connectivity
Cheers !

We recently upgraded from ECC 6.0 support pack 9 to support pack 15. At the same time, we installed EHP4 support pack 5. A few questions:
1. Will we upgrade our ECC 6.0 support pack 15 system to the next support pack, for example to support pack16 or 17, OR will our support packs follow the EHP4 support pack update path, for example upgrading our current environment by moving from EHP4 support pack 5 to support pack 6?
2. We have not yet enabled any of the new EHP4 functions in our landscape. Is it recommended that if we upgrade EHP4 support pack 5 to support pack 6 we do a full integration test? If we haven't enabled any EHP4 support pack 5 functions, I wasn't sure if an integration test was needed.
thank you,
JonathanHello Jonathan,
I hope you are aware of SPDD/SPAU.
Point to be notes is support package will not overwrite your own customizing (Z, Y).
and if you modified any Standard object for your purpose and its been overwritten by the Support package then you will definately get a prompt in SPDD and SPAU and you have a chance to take decision how would you like to go. whether you want to keep your customizing to the standard objects or you want the new standard code to overwrite it.
So, you will not need to do integration testing for complete things in your system.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Best Regards

We want to finalize a support pack strategy any pointers?
Hi,
We want to finalize on the support pack application policy for our company. Currently we are on ECC 6.0 Support Pack 8. We have a new SAP installation. Can you please suggest some blogs or articles that elaborate on what is a good support pack application policy. i.e how frequently should we apply the support packs, compatibility issues, what all things we need to test after applying the support pack etc.
Thanks for reading.Hi,
Support packs are basically the Program/Object Corrections & Modifications.There is no hard rule on when to apply the support packs but it always best to be with the latest (latest -1) support pack.This way you will be safe from all the know issues and will have all the new functionalities.The important thing to note while applying the support pack is to decide whether you want to maintain the modifications to the standard objects (if any) or not? a functional testing is advisable.

Hi
I am importing a group of Support Packs into our DEV environment to bring the landscape uptodate, we are running NW04 on Windows 2003 64 bit & SQL Server 2000, I've updated to the latest SPAM and Kernel before the Support Packs.
When importing in SPAM I have used the calculate queue method, all looks ok, when I perform the import, in the phase TEST IMPORT i get the following error for Support Pack SP 12 for EA-FINSERV 5.00 :
<b>
Function MAP2I_BAPICMS_STR_MOV_INS_CRT (CMS_BUSISB104_MAPPI does not fit into the existing function group ((CMS_BUSISB10)</b>
The only option I am given is to repeat the phase, I've repeated this a few times and get the same error on TEST IMPORT. I'm new to NW04 640 BASIS, but I know from running 4.6X system that you can re-run phases and quite often they work correctly 2nd time round, is it worth changing SPAM to not stop on test import errors ? as I know objects required can be in earlier support packs (i'm applying supports pack EA-FINSERV 5.00 08 to 11 as part of the queue before 12 which is giving me the error.
I've checked on OSS and cannot find any notes on this error/support pack.
Thanks.nope, not tried with ignore test errors yet, wanted to check opinions here to see if thats the next step to try, or if there's anything else I could try ?

number 1474958 is mentioned as in support pack SAPKE50075.
But while we try to download it from Service Market place and search
for the support packs of HR for SAPKE500* we are able to get the last
search as SAPKE50071. We need to get 72,73,74,75,76 as well.
Please suggest what needs to be done as we need to critically implement

Proper Plan for SAP Support Pack Upload
Hi Experts,
We are going for Support pack upload of SAP at your firm.
Like to get your suggestions on the Plan we have done for going with the update.
The Present Level of SAP in our server is very low 8 stacks low approx in both the Development Server and Production Server.
What is the best way to apply them from the below mentioned plan.
1. shall we go for 1 stack in Development for the required components then test it for 3-4 days then go for the same stack in Production. So that both the server go sync with each other. This way going till the target stack one by one.
2. shall we go and upload all 8 stacks for the components required in development first one by one and then test the system for all the errors available and then start with the Production. Will there be a transport problem if the system are not in sync for the so many days.
Please suggest which one shall be best suited if any other plan can be used for safe and proper update of Support pack.
JiteshHi,
1. shall we go for 1 stack in Development for the required components then test it for 3-4 days
then go for the same stack in Production. So that both the server go sync with each other.
This way going till the target stack one by one.
If Large Support Stack gape is there, then
1. I would perform system copy of Existing Development System into another separate New Test Server.
2. Then , I will generate Side Effect Reports based on the Source-to-Target Support Stack gape. You can request such side effect from SMP at https://service.sap.com/side-effects by selecting the solution and by providing source to target SP level per component.
3.Refer The required SAP Notes regarding OCS Know problems for the support patches. Apply latest SPAM/SAINT Updates. Apply Latest SAP Kernel patches.
4. Apply the Required Support Package stack after taking successful offline backup of Database.
5. Perform SPDD - SPAU adjustment and record it in single/Multiple Change requests.
6. Ask the function team to check the Functionality in new Upgraded TEST system
7. After Confirmation from the Functional & Technical Team, Apply the same support package stack in existing real DEVELOPMENT system and move that SPAU-SPDD adjustment request.
2. shall we go and upload all 8 stacks for the components required in development first one by one
and then test the system for all the errors available and then start with the Production.
Will there be a transport problem if the system are not in sync for the so many days.
The same above steps will be applicable here also. Change Requests Transports are not recommended between the systems which are on different Support Patch Stacks. With the above mentioned steps your downtime as well as Development Holiday will be minimized.

BADI Differences between 4.7 and ecc 6
Dear experts,
Can any one tell me the differences in BADIs in 4.7 and in ECC 6.0
Thanks in advance
someshHi Venkat,
SOURCE: difference between badis in 4.7 and ECC 6.0
The u2018BADI-su2019 (Business Add-Ins), as they exist in pre NW04s releases are now called old classic-BADIu2019s (release 4.6 ). This was the first object-oriented way to enhance the ABAP system. This, to a certain extent, allows multiple implementations with limited filter support. The classic-BADIu2019s are implemented using ABAP Objects.
With the introduction of Enhancement framework from E.C.C 6.0 a new BADI concept in additional to the old classical BADIs has evolved called as Kernel-BADI enhancement.
The old classic-BADIu2019s are implemented purely at the ABAP Workbench level; that is, both the definition and implementation are realized as workbench repository objects (global classes and interfaces).
The new Kernel-BADI takes it to the ABAP language level. Because of this, the new Kernel-BADIu2019s are much faster compared to the old classic-BADIu2019s.
There are two new ABAP statements available now to support the Kernel-BADIu2019s, namely GET BADI and CALL BADI.
Example:
data bd_hdl type ref to badi_name.
GET BADI bd_hdl filters filt_1 = u2018VALUEu2019.
CALL BADI bd_hdl->method
exporting param_1 = 10.
The old classic-BADI used to mix both implementation selection and method call in the same CALL METHOD statement. The implementations could only be chosen at run-time because of the above reason and due to the fact that the BADI handle could only be gotten from another method call by passing the BADI name.
Whereas in the new Kernel-BADI, the active BADI implementations are included into the load of BADI handle at compile time and the filter criterion are expanded as IF statements. This is the reason the new Kernel-BADIu2019s are much faster than classic-BADIu2019s.
Some of the other new features of Kernel-BADIu2019s are,
u2022 Improved Filters with complex filter condition editor
u2022 Stateful BADI support and Context based lifetime control
u2022 Possibility to inherit the implementations
u2022 Switchable using Switch Framework 9
