Checklist : Upgrade PI7.0 to PI7.3

Hi All,
We are going to upgrade our PI systems from 7.0 to 7.3. Basis team has reviewed some PI7.3 upgrade documentation and came up with the below questions. Can you please help me on how to check/verity these items?
Prior to the upgrade starting there needs to be at least one package in the customer namespace (Z*). Would you please verify there is or do this?
Also, on the PI systems...
Has <my company name> made any modifications to the JAVA stack?
Has <my company name> created any Customer-Specific Translations?
Has <my company name> made any ABAP modifications?
Thanks,

Hi Raj,
     Below is the complete mail I received from BASIS team. I downloaded the two SAP notes and implemented in my PI development system. Correct me if i'm wrong here, since the two OSS notes are related to ABAP side, I think we need to take care ABAP side also. Also, in my previous reply I was asking about item '2'.
Mail received from Basis:
In reviewing the PI 7.3 upgrade documentation the following two OSS Notes need to be applied to PI Development system prior to starting the upgrade:
                       1468467 - Sequence problem during DROP/CREATE of indexs
                       1518145 - FM DD_DB_MISSING_OBJECTS returns incorrect no. of objects.
Would you please arrange for the above two notes to be applied and let us know when that work is done?
Prior to the upgrade starting there needs to be at least one package in the customer namespace (Z*). Would you please verify there is or do this?
Also, on the PI system....
1. Has <company name> made any modifications to the JAVA stack?
2. Has <company name> created any Customer-Specific Translations?
3. Has <company name> made any ABAP modifications?
Thanks,

Error in adapter module Upgrade PI7.11

Hello,
After upgrade from XI3.0 to PI7.11,I am trying to adapt code of an adapter module in order to use it in new version.
I have changed the code ,there were no compilation errors and it was deployed successfully.
But when trying to test the scenario ,I am getting following error:
<code>ADAPTER.JAVA_EXCEPTION</code>
               <text>javax.ejb.EJBException: (Failed in component: sap.com/ValidationModule7.11_EAR) Exception raised from invocation of public com.sap.aii.af.lib.mp.module.ModuleData com.sapcons.xi.af.validation.ValidationModuleBean711.process(com.sap.aii.af.lib.mp.module.ModuleContext,com.sap.aii.af.lib.mp.module.ModuleData) throws com.sap.aii.af.lib.mp.module.ModuleException method on bean instance com.sapcons.xi.af.validation.ValidationModuleBean711@4dee79d1 for bean sap.com/ValidationModule7.11_EARxml|ValidationModule7.11_EJB.jarxml|ValidationModuleBean711 in application sap.com/ValidationModule7.11_EAR.; nested exception is: java.lang.NullPointerException: while trying to invoke the method com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.MessageKey.getMessageId() of an object loaded from local variable 'msgKey'
java.lang.NullPointerException: while trying to invoke the method com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.MessageKey.getMessageId() of an object loaded from local variable 'msgKey'
I am nowhere using variable 'msgkey' in my code.
I was using getMessageId() method and because of this error,I have changed the code such that I am not using this method at all.
After this change ,I have deployed the module again,and the strange part is I am still getting the same error.
Just to be sure that I have deployed the changed code,I created an altogether new module ValidationModule7.11_EAR(it was ValidationModule_EAR before) and deployed it,I am sure ,I am not using getMessageId() method at all,but I am getting the same error (as mentioned above).
I have no idea why I am getting the same error.I can see in the error message that my new module is called which doesn't use this method.
Can anyone please suggest apart from saving the Bean after code changes and redeploying the code,what needs to be done.
(Rebuilding the project,etc.)
It would be great if I can get some inputs on this strange behaviour.
Thanks a lot.
Best Regards,
Shweta

Hello Stefan,
Thanks for your reply.
I have created my new module with a different JNDI name.
Also,I have verified that there is a link to the interface com.sap.aii.af.ifc.facade in application-j2ee-engine.xml .
This was the code which I was trying to adapt:
if((MessageContext)inputModuleData.getPrincipalData() instanceof MessageContext)
                MessageContext messsageContext = (MessageContext)inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();
                Message message = messsageContext.getMessage();
                Attachment rootDocument = message.getRootDocument();
                Object data = rootDocument.getData();
                if(data instanceof Binary)
                    Binary bin = (Binary)data;
                    request = bin.getBytes();
                    String messageID = "1232";
                    if(dir == Direction.INBOUND)
                        amk = new AuditMessageKey(messageID, AuditDirection.INBOUND);
                    else
                        amk = new AuditMessageKey(messageID, AuditDirection.OUTBOUND);
But I was getting errors like MessageContext not recognized and also,for the statement:
Attachment rootDocument = message.getRootDocument();
I was getting an error in statement :   if(data instanceof Binary) as following imports weren't recognized.
import com.sap.aii.messaging.lang.Binary;
import com.sap.aii.messaging.mo.*;
So I used import com.sap.aii.af.service.cpa.BinaryData; and following code
Object obj = null;
               Message message = null;
               obj = inputModuleData.getPrincipalData();
                          if(obj instanceof BinaryData)
                     message = (Message)obj;
                    BinaryData bin = (BinaryData)obj;
                    request = bin.getData();
                     String messageID = "1232";
                      amk = new MessageKey(messageID, message.getMessageDirection());
Code was compiled correctly and deployed ,but I get this error with getMessageId() when I try to test it.You can see I am not using getMessageId() and msgkey anywhere in the code
Thanks for your help

Please check your event log and see if you use the current runtime. A new runtime library is necessary to fix an ATL security issue, see

I assume you need to make sure that you are performing the upgrade with the SAP JVM. You do not need a separate Sun JDK next to the SAP JVM because SAP JVM is a complete Java environment.
So you could try to deinstall the Sun JDK, to make sure you are using the right JVM for your upgrade.
Note that I did not check any install notes. It is just an assumption out of your exception traces. Maybe the install docs will tell you more about the needed JVM.

Downtime for upgrade from SP14 to SP23 - PI 7.0

Hello All,
What is the estimated downtime for upgrading PI7.0 from SP14 to SP23. We only have one application server in the environment and the decision to upgrade will happen based on the downtime information . Appreciate any response . Thanks Rahul.

Hi Rahul,
We have recently upgraded our PI 7.0 system from SP 21 to SP 21.
Basis team has requested for 19 hrs downtime. But the actual downtime that was required was less than 10 hours.
During upgrade, you have a downtime minimisation approach which would enable you to perform few actvities online without bringing down the system.
To follow this approach, Goto the transaction code "SAINT" --> Extras --> Settings --> Import Queue --> Import Mode.
There would be an option called "Downtime-minimized". Check that option so that you would be able to reduce the downtime during the upgrade.

Subbu

Database upgrade of R12.1 from 11.1.0 to 11.2.0

Hi,
It looks the database 11.1.0 is installed when R12.1 is installed, and I would like to upgrade the database to 11.2.0.
When I went through notes and discussions, most of them are about upgrading from other lower versions to 11.2.0.
Can anyone help me with finding discussion threads or documents which concerns about upgrading from 11.1.0 to 11.2.0?
I would like to find out pre-upgrade checklists, upgrade procedures, and post upgrade steps...
Thanks in advance,
And, sorry if this post is under wrong category...
Best regards,

Synchronous does not work

Hi, Export,
I have a SOAP<--->XI proxy synchronous scenario. it is not working after we upgrade PI7.0 to PI 7.1. I can see soap message is coming over in monitoring. And I can see it does everything that is written in proxy. But it just does not send any message back to SOAP as at the end of proxy indicated. Is there any body know what the problem is or advise me how I can find the problem? Thanks a lot!
Meiying

Hi, Abhishek,
I can see the message coming to Proxy in SXMB_moni. But I can't see any message being generated and sending out from proxy. Let me give more information.
Outbound message interface SOAP_out_MI:
     Request message type : Soap_in_MT
     Response message Type : proxy_out_MT
Inbound Message Interface: Proxy_In_MI
      Request message type : proxy_out_MT
     Response message Type : Soap_in_MT
I generated a proxy under Inbound Message Interface: Proxy_In_MI, after some processing inside proxy, I call output-Soap_in_MT-result = it_result to send out the response message. But I don't see any message being sent out through SXMB_MONI. Is there any where I can see the log to see why no message being sent out? Thanks.

Exchange 2013 / 2010 coexistence with different public domains

Currently in my organization
1x Exchange 2010 Standard w/SP3 - Client Access / Hub Transport
1x Exchange 2010 Standard w/SP3 - Unified Messaging Server (we also have Lync 2013 in the environment)
1x Exchange 2010 Standard w/SP3 - Mailbox
In my organization, we have approximately 600 mailboxes - 100 office staff, and 500 field employees using a mixture of Outlook 2007/2010/2013 and various mobile devices. Most of our field employees are in remote locations, several hundred
miles away. We have no IT staff in any of our field locations.
We also have two public domains that we use, though we are trying to phase out the old one to unify everything.
domain-old.com - Used when the company had a different name. All Exchange services are published with this one.
domain-new.com - Used after the company changed names. The goal is to publish all Exchange services with this one.
domain.local - Our internal Active Directory domain.
We use Microsoft Exchange Online Protection for all inbound/outbound email. We publish OWA, ActiveSync, etc. through our Sophos firewall. Also, we have two KEMP LoadMaster appliances that for high availability that we currently use for Lync 2013; they are
severely underutilized.
Goals for the Exchange migration
My primary goal is to introduce high availability into our environment by introducing redundancy on multiple levels. I would like to accomplish this by utilizing Exchange 2013 since we will need to purchase additional licensing anyway. My idea of the
final topology is:
2x KEMP LoadMaster appliances providing reverse proxy and load balancing to the CAS servers
2x Physical servers running Hyper-V, separated physically but in the same AD site. Each one would run:
1x VM with Exchange 2013 Standard w/SP1 - Client Access
1x VM with Exchange 2013 Enterprise w/SP1 - Mailbox - Utilizing DAGs for high-availability
I'd like all the new Exchange services to be published under the domain-new.com domain - such as mail.domain-new.com, mail.domain-new.com/owa, smtp.domain-new.com, etc.
We have purchased two new physical servers that will be Hyper-V hosts running Server 2012R2. My timeframe to start this project is within the next two weeks, so I'll be running the new Exchange 2013 VMs under Server 2012, not R2 as it won't be supported
until Exchange 2013 SP3 is released.
Deployment Plan
Install Exchange 2013 on new VMs.
Create CAS Array object.
Configure Exchange 2013 to publish under the new namespace.
Perform mailbox moves to 2013 for a small group (1-5 users) at a time. Recreate Outlook profiles and mobile device profiles for that group. Test and move to the next group.
Once all users are moved to the new namespace, decommission the Exchange 2010 servers.
Unknowns
My primary unknown is about the namespaces. All of the guides I have read strictly deal with keeping the existing namespace and having the Exchange 2013 CAS proxy requests to Exchange 2010 for mailboxes still on 2010. This should never be an issue for us
since we'll be using the new domain for each mailbox we move.
My question boils down to, is this a supported way to migrate to Exchange 2013? And if so, are there some materials or information to help me perform it this way?

Hi,
From the description, you want to install Exchange 2013 in another domain and then migrate from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013.
About DAG, all servers in a DAG must be running the same operating system. If there is only one mailbox server, there is no need to deploy DAG.
About CAS array, we should know that the CAS Array no longer exists in Exchange 2013.
About the namespace, based on my knowledge, we can introduce a new namespace. Just as what you said "This should never be an issue for us since we'll be using the new domain for each mailbox we move".
Here are some articles about how to upgrade from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013 in the same organization.
Checklist: Upgrade from Exchange 2010
Install Exchange 2013 in an Existing Exchange 2010 Organization
Upgrade from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013
Hope this helps.

External mail routing issues

Hi,
I have installed Ex2013 on a separate box. Over the weekend I have switched the 2010 CAS role to my new CAS server. I update the external url's on the virtual directories on the new CAS server swapped out the ip's of my 2010 exchange putting
it on the new one (as I don't have to make any changes to my public dns records) and set a new ip for my 2010 cas box with mailboxes. Last, I updated the internet connector to include my new CAS server as a source server. Basiscally, everything
works fine except the now we can't send any external emails. We got an undeliverable message saying that "client host x.x.x.x blocked using block list 1, mail from IP banned............

Hi Joe,
Based on your NDR, it indicates that your IP address 4.30.210.34 is blocked in the BlockList . If you want to remove your address from the list, you need send a message to
[email protected] with your IP address.
Additionally, if you want to send external message from Exchange 2013 server, it is recommended to
change the primary host names, such as mail.contoso.com, autodiscover.contoso.com, and owa.contoso.com (if used) to
point to the external, publically-accessible, IP address of the Exchange 2013 Client Access server with your public DNS provider
instead of an external IP of your original Exchange 2010.
In other words, you might need to make changes to your firewall to support the new Exchange 2013 server. You might need to add new firewall rules, add an external IP address for your Exchange 2013 server, or make other configuration
changes. For more information about configuring DNS records, we can refer to:

Migrating Exchange 2007 to Exchange 2010 at a different physical location - Suggestions??

Hello! I have a domain in Canada that is running Exchange 2007. My company wants to consolidate this Exchange and migrate the mail to the USA based Exchange 2010 in NYC. Not only is it migrating from 2007 to 2010, it's also moving locations physically.
Does anyone have any thoughts on how to best approach such a situation?

ok... in addition to sarvesh comments i would also add a checklist based approach .. please follow below link
http://blogs.technet.com/b/mspfe/archive/2014/03/20/checklist-upgrading-to-exchange-2010-from-exchange-2007.aspx this would help you not to miss anything in terms to critical or non-critical aspects.
after checklist i would suggest you give a shot at exchange server deployment assistant which will help you putting your scenario and suggesting the best practices. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/office/dn756393.aspx
this guide for planning of migrations also shows the full scenario step by step : http://exchangeserverpro.com/wp-content/uploads/Exchange%20Server%202007%20to%202010%20Migration%20Guide%20V1.0%20-%20Planning%20Chapter.pdf
this is also a step by step graphical representation for the process. THIRD PARTY LINK though.. http://www.petenetlive.com/KB/Article/0000236.htm
Let me know if this helps.
MARK AS USEFUL/ANSWER IF IT DID
