BW upgrade an migration tool

HI ,
We have upgraded from bw3.5 to bi7.3.
There are abt 500 customized roles in our system. authorization concept migration tool had been used.
However, we notice that there are some inconsistencies whereby some gets migrated while some needs manual action.
I would like to ask for opinion. If we have heavily customized roles, is it better to do revamp the entire authorization concept design from BW3.5 to BI7.3 or is it wise to use the standard authorization concept migration tool(BW3.5---> BI7.3)?
Your experience and thoughts on this is very much appreciated.
Thank you.
Regards
Maili

Hi,
Migration tool generally works fine when there are standard authorization. But in our case we had many customized authorization we had to revamp all of them after upgrade as most of the customized authorization were not migrated correctly.
Hence I would suggest that when there are many customized aurthorizations like in your case you should revamp all of them after upgrade rather than using migration tool for them.

GRC 10 Upgrade: Migration Tool Problem

Hi All,
I am in a process to migrate the GRC 5.3 data to GRC 10.0. I have successfully installed migration tool GRCACMIG00_0.sca. I accessed this tool and found the below option on the initial page:
1. DAta Export: Export AC 5.3 Configuration and Master Data
2. Reports: Export Migration Data+Quick Links
3. Administration: Administer Data Export Processes+Quick Links
I have successfully exported the configuration data. However, when I am trying to export the transactional data, much to my surprise, I found that, the option Export AC 5.3 Transactional Data is not available under Data Export.
This link is clearly shown in the migration guide. However, I am unable to get it.
Has anyone got inot such problem? If yes, please share the solution to this problem.
Woiuld appreciate help
Regards,
Faisal

Hi Prashant,
We are already on higher SP level on 5.3. What else can be causing this issue.
Where can we get more information on this. Transacional data export option is NOT VISIBLE when migration URL or application is executed

Got an iMac and used migration tool (PC to Mac). When I try iTunes i get The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version.... download iTunes now? but i have it already???

I just got an iMac and used migration tool (PC to Mac). When I try to then open iTunes i get the message
<The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version.... download iTunes now?>
...but i have it already downloaded, when I press download now, it tells me I already have it, but it still won't let me open iTunes???

Unless you've tried to install an older version of iTunes that message likely indicates a corrupt library file. See Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash...

MII Migration tool for server installed in Linux

I am planning to migrate few files from xMII 11.5 to 12.0. I searched in market place to download the migration tool(service.sap.com -> SAP Support Portal -> Downloads -> SAP Installations & Upgrades -> Search for Installations and Upgrades.
Entered XMII MIGRATION TOOL in the search field) which can be used from my windows laptop. But, its not available.
I also searched for the components which can be deployed in Netweaver to obtain the migration tool(service.sap.com -> SAP Support Portal -> Downloads ->Entry by application group->Support Packages and Patches...SAP xApps...SAP XMII...SAP XMII...SAP XMII 12.0...XMII MIGRATION TOOL 1.0). But, these components are only available for Windows server.
Let me know whether this is because of authorizations/permissions of my id. Is there a place where I can download either the migration tool or the components for linux?

The Migration Tool is a windows only application - so are the files from your 11.5 system for that matter
You'll need to download the tool, run either the SDM or JSPM tool of NetWeaver to extract the zip file from inside the SCA file. This zip file can then be extracted onto your laptop where the java app can run to take the desired 11.5 source files and migrate them into your 12.0 server via http.

How to migrate Master Data (Rule set etc.) from GRC 5.3 to 10.1 without using the "Migration Tool"

Greetings,
We are currently on GRC 5.3 SP 18 (Java ONLY) and migrating to GRC 10.1. I referred the Migration Guide which outlines that GRC 5.3 needs to be upgraded to SP 20 as pre-requisite for using the "Migration Tool" . Our BASIS team is reluctant to perform this upgrade from SP 18 to SP 20.
Having said thus, I'm exploring options of migrating data from 5.3 to 10.1 without using the "Migration Tool:.
Rule set Migration:
I'm in the process of preparing the 9 different files (listed below) and later utilize the "Upload Rule" option for migrating the Rule set data from 5.3 to 10.1.
While I'm able to gather data for most of the files I'm not sure how can I obtain the data pertaining to the two files (Function Actions and Function Permissions) underlined and highlighted in Red below.
1. Business Process
2. Function
3. Function Business Process
4. Function Actions
5 .Function Permissions
6. Rule Set
7. Risk
8. Risk Description
9. Risk Rule Set Relationship
10. Risk Owner Relationship
Can someone please enlighten me and share their experience with regards to this exercise. Really appreciate your help !
- Janantik.

I have done this successfully before. Because you are having issues, I would NOT recommend using the migration tool to move the ruleset. Instead:
1. Download the ruleset files from 5.3
2. The 5.3 tcode-permission file, which defines which tcode permissions from SU24 need to be checked during risk analysis, needs to be split into the two files you mention above in red.
FUNCTION_ACTION : this file represents S_TCODE objects and TCD fields mapped to each function (Function to Tcode relationship). In the 5.3 file, you will filter on object S_TCODE and field TCD, and you will get a complete list that now represents "FUNCTION_ACTION". BUT instead of having all the jumbled permission info, you will just have 3 columns: Function - Tcode - Status.
3. The remaining permissions that are left over, after taking out the S_TCODE -TCD items, represent the "FUNCTION_PERMISSION" file in GRC 10.
4. Manually create the excel spreadsheets for each file.
5. Copy and past each sheet to a unique .txt file.
6. Upload the ruleset manually through SPRO-->GRC-->Access Control-->Access Risk Analysis-->SoD Rules-->Upload SoD Rules.
7. Select each file and then upload to the correct Logical Group.
This is a huge pain, but it works. Let me know how this goes and if you need any assistance.

BO XI R1 -- BO XI R2 Migration Tool

hi,
does the migration tool migrate business views ... I see mention of universes but nothing on bv's.

I guess the next question is if I can get the upgrade online from SAP.com or go through a reseller.
You can use support for problems arising from a CCM DB copy or IW migration. But not really for the planning of the migration. If you use a 3rd party or SAP consultant the major benefit is the migration completion is on them and whatever they offer you as far as completion time, etc. Migrations to new version can get complex.
However if you just want to keep what you have the CCM DB copy is part of ourt backup/restore process and should be very straight forward. You destination system would contain everything from the source with all new server hardware/software.
Lots of choices available...

Pixmantec Migration Tool is unusable

First of all, I am very happy with the LR. In comparison to the RSP, the slow performance is compensated with a much better control of colors. (even if all cameras need to be calibrated for correct (red) colors?!?)
Because I really archive all my pictures as raw data with the appropriate develop settings, it is very important for me to take over the RSP settings. Maybe latest with a next PC-generation, RSP will not run any longer. Therefore, I would like to migrate them into LR. So I appreciated the migration tool. It is clear, that the tool cannot migrate all settings of RSP, but it is still far away from similar settings planned. Probably, Michael Johnson was not involved in development, because the actual tool cannot be used in the expected way.
Some examples:
Cropping:
* correct conversion in some pictures
* in many pictures no conversion
* in some pictures wrong conversion (too low, in the middle of the face instead above).
For the not converted pictures, the problem is probably lying in the LR. I assume, it happens in pictures, where the right cropping rectangle (correct RSP) is outside of the picture rectangle.(RSP brings some more pixel.) This should be tested and corrected. (reduction of the cropping rectangle about the necessary pixel).
The white balance is not converted satisfactorily. For example, a manual white balance of the WhiBal card is converted from RSP 5000/-2 into LR as 4500/-2. The correct and therefore visually corresponding manual white balance in LR would be 5200/+4! It seems that the tint setting is just been taken over, which results in a greenish tint. In all my pictures (Canon 20D) the correct tint value (manual setting with a WhiBal card) of LR is always about 4 to 6 values higher than in the RSP.
The RSP vibrance setting should be multiplied by factor 3 to 5 for a visually equivalent LR setting.
There should be a flag for the Color Engine. Because the Color Engine, that is used by most of the people, delivers more saturated colors, the saturation (and vibrance) settings should be converted with a higher factor.
A negative value for RSP "Highlight contrast" should be migrated as LR Recovery setting.
The LR contrast remains wheter on the default setting or is set to 0. I really cannot understand why the contrast has to be set to 0 (very strange).
The very important RSP setting "Shadow contrast" is not taken into account at all! Consequently, there are many pictures in RSP with a high contrast, which after migration into LR have a lower or no contrast. They look totally different (dull)! It should be possible to map the RSP shadow contrast to the LR settings Darks and Shadows of the tone curve to get similar pictures.
The RSP tone curve and the level settings remains unrecognized.
In my opinion, it should be no problem to migrate a typical tone curve nearest:
The maximum and minimum values of the zones (highlights, lights, dark and shadows) could be analyzed and migrated into the appropriate LR parameter values. With that satisfactorily results could be reached for typical (positive and negative) s-curves.
RSP level settings could be converted as additional exposure and blacks corrections in order to produce similar pictures.
Overall, the migration tool is insufficient and unprofessional. It provides the impression, that it was developed facile only to deliver something as promised.
Finally, I would like to point out that it was not in my mind to only criticize your work. I really hope you can use my ideas to improve the tool.

I think this issue is a dead horse. A promise provided to late to be of any useful help.
I am a RSP user and while I am not a pro and do not have tens of thousands of pics, I do not think this would be of any use to me.
I believe it was a nice offer from Adobe to have this done but this offer was made about one year ago. Surely if one were using LR since then other alternatives would have been used to reprocess files if required. LR has advanced with at least one upgrade and surely another in the making very shortly.
If RSP supports your camera and works for you, continue to enjoy, if you wish to to use LR "smell the new brew of coffee" and move on.
Two years ago ACR imo was no match for RSE/RSP or other raw conversion software for that matter. Since then ACR v 4.1 and LR is a substantial improvement and can now hold their own against other third party raw converters.
Raw conversion software is advancing rapidly and RSP should be left to r.i.p, since there will be no future upgrades/camera support/enhancements and ones efforts would be best used elsewhere.
The LR team would be better employed in resolving the existing bugs and providing support for new camera models. jmho.

Migration tool Usage - Source & target portal versions

Central note for portal migration specifies that the source portal should be in SP2 Patch 5. However the note is not clear about target portal version. The situation is that we have our current portal in EP6SP2 Patch 4 and we are evaluting Netweaver portal features like collaboration with Stack 11 since Stack 9 (SR1) and Stack10 are having few problems.We obviously want to migrate portal contents in to Stack 11 to avoid upgrade down time.
1.Can we use the migration tool to migrate portal contents from SP2 Patch 5 to Stack 11 portal?.
2. Why the source EP6Sp2 portal should be in Patch level 5. Is migration tool using any specific features of Patch 5?. ( Since we are in EP6SP2 Patch 4, we need resources to upgrade to Patch 5, test the contents after patch 5 and live with "known issues" of patch 5 for some time before migrating).
I am sure that i am not the only persion in this situation ( Upgrade to Patch 5 -> Migrate Contents to SR1 -> Upgrade to Stack 11) . is anybody having any shortcuts to reduce the complexity of upgrading the portal to Netweaver environment?.
Arul

Hi,
Currently the flow you have descibed in the bottom of your post is correct. the source system must be at least EP6 SP2 Patch5.
The target system should be NW04 SR1 (no additional patches and no additional SPs). To this version you can run the migration. After the migration is done, one should upgarde to SP11.
Unfortunately, currently there is no shortcut...

Hi Krishna,
As you are not upgrading your version but you are migrating from one BPC platform to the other, you need to follow all the rules of installing fresh SAP BPC version. As you have not specified from which version you are migrating and to which version, you can refer to the following link for installations and upgrades (You need to login using your S-user ID):

Problem with BizTalk 2010 Party Migration Tool

Hello All,
We are upgrading BT2006 R2 to BT2010. We are trying to use the Party Migration Tool to move our EDI partners, but are encountering the following error while we are trying to Initialize the Migration Tool:
The database or the database version is incompatible with the installed version of this product. For more details please see the event log
The Event Log shows the following:
Error Source: BizTalk Server Party Migration Tool Details:Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM.BtsException: The database or the database version is incompatible with the installed version of this product. at Microsoft.BizTalk.ExplorerOM.BtsCatalogExplorer.set_ConnectionString(String

Has anyone encountered this error yet? Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks!

I think this is the assembly issue. I had reported it during the beta. It looks like I did actually try it on BizTalk 2006 R2. Here is the link (it should be public now):
https://connect.microsoft.com/BizTalk/feedback/details/559323/partymigrationtool-fails-to-run-on-biztalk-2006-r2-box
The config is here:
<configuration>
   <runtime>
      <assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1">
         <dependentAssembly>
            <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.BizTalk.Migration.PartnerManagement" culture="neutral" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35"/>
            <codeBase version="3.0.1.0" href="..\MSI\Program Files\Microsoft.BizTalk.Migration.PartnerManagement.dll"/>
         </dependentAssembly>
   <dependentAssembly>
            <assemblyIdentity name="Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.PartnerAgreementManager" culture="neutral" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35"/>
            <codeBase version="3.0.2.0" href="..\MSI\Program Files\Microsoft.BizTalk.Edi.PartnerAgreementManager.dll"/>
         </dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
   </runtime>
</configuration>
So you need to modify the path to match what you have - absolute paths are ok. Then try loading the tool again. I was able to get it to work this way during the beta.

Hello,
I get the same error after updating through Help->Check for Updates. I am at version 1.1.2.25 and the update does not change the version number of Oracle SQL Developer (Help->About), it remains at 1.1.2.25 (although if I look in extensions tab, it says: oracle.sqldeveloper 1.1.3.27.66 Loaded, possible bug in displaying version number?). These are the updates applied:
Upgraded Extensions
Oracle Microsoft Access Browser version 1.1.3.27.66
Oracle SQL Developer - Snippet version 10.1.3.27.66
Oracle SQL Developer version 1.1.3.27.66
Oracle SQL Developer - Reports version 10.1.3.27.66

Oracle SQL Developer - Object Viewer version 10.1.3.27.66
I ran the update several times and was able to reproduce the error under a specific condition. If I am connected to a database at the time of the update I get the error. If I am not conneceted at the time of the update I do not get the error.
As stated, by Donal, sql developer seems to get over the problem after restarting itself twice.

KMC Migration Tool stopped. How to restart avoiding the finished steps?

Hi,
I'm using KMC Migration Tool for upgrading EP 6.0 SP 2 (6.20) to EP NW04 SPS15 (6.40). We have experienced some network problems, and the process of DB migration has stopped between the end of the migration of task AP - completed suscesfully (the last step of the Migration the DataBase, many hours!!) - and the begining of the synchronization the fsdb Repositories (only a few minutes). When I tried to restart the process of DB migration, the KMC Migration tool tried restarting all the migration tasks from the begining of the DB Migration.
How to restart avoiding the finished steps? How can I avoid to repeat the migration of the DB from the begining, especially if it has executed suscesfully? Can I synchronize the FSDB repositories manually at the end of the EP migration? How can I do it?
If I had to restart the process, is it necessary to restore the target DB, or the process does not insert records from the last execution?
Many thanks for your help,
Best regards,

Hi,
CM repositories in FSDB mode can have a manual backup before configuring the local root. The XML file provides the description of behaviors and persistence levels for the file system. To have a manual backup the auto sync has to be deactivated or else there will be a huge meta data loss.
what i feel is like you have to restore the DB before manual bacup(.if the Auto sync is activated). However, i dont think so that you can resume the migration.

Anand

Windows migration tool using external USB drive

Hi everyone,
My wife is using Windows Vista (BootCamp) on her MacBook now, but she finally decided to use Mac OS (it'll be Mavericks).
I believe that PC and Mac have to be connected via network (or Ethernet cable) to use Apple Windows migration tool, correct?
How can I migrate it in my case? Can I use MS (Windows) backup tool? Does Mac migration tool recognize this Windows backup? I prefer to use Apple migration tool, but any other good suggestions?
Please advise.
Thank you!

You are welcome.
Check that your computer is compatible with Mountain Lion/Mavericks.
To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information (may be called something else in 10.5).
MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) model number 5,1 or higher
MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer) model number 3,1 or higher
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer) model number 2,1 or higher
Your Mac needs:
OS X v10.6.8 or OS X Lion already installed
2 GB or more of memory (More is better - 4 GB minimum seems to be the consensus)
8 GB or more of available space
If your computer isn’t compatible, you might be able to upgrade to Lion.
Computer Compatibility - Lion                       Lion
Check to make sure your applications are compatible. PowerPC applications are no longer supported after 10.6.

Applications Compatibility (2)
You will need to get Snow Leopard.         Snow Leopard Purchase
Once you have Snow Leopard, boot off the Snow Leopard DVD, run Disk Utility Repair Disk and Repair Permissions, Then erase the entire hard drive (top one in Disk Utility) formatting it as Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Install Snow Leopard and update using Software Update to 10.6.8. The combo update will shorten the process.
10.6.8 Combo Updater
Then go to the App Store and download Mavericks. I would quit the installer and make a copy of the installer and move it out of your Applications folder. The installer self-destructs. The copy will keep you from having to download the installer again. You can make a bootable USB stick to install using this free program.
Bootable USB Flash Drive – Diskmaker X
That should get you to Mavericks.

Diff between Upgrade and migration

hi All,
Can you please explain as to what is the difference between upgradation and migration. Also can you please explain as to when would a company go for a upgrade and when it would go for migration.
My another question is, What does it mean when a company says that they are going to perform a new installation of BI 7.0. Does that mean that they do not have any previous versions of BW
Thanks

hi,
Upgrade - the user might be already using any of the BW version and he wants the new version thats upgradation
