Corrrect procedure to upgrade

What is the correct procedure to upgrade from Forms30 to Forms60 ? Is it Forms30 to Form4.5 to Forms60 ? Is there any direct method ? I tried using f60genm, but it only generates the .fmx file not the .fmb file. what I am missing ??

There is documentation for the Schema update utility,that explains that pretty well. (Too long to write out here). Alternatively, you could load all your current files into the new application. With one note, before loading your application file you can update it by opening it in the win32 metadata manager. It will convert it to the latest HFM version.

    step by step procedure for upgrade .
    Will award full points for helpful documents..
    With regards,
    Mrinal

    SAP defined a roadmap for upgrade.
    1) Project Preparation
    Analyze the actual situation
    Define the objectives
    Create the project plan
    Carry out organizational preparation for example identify the project team
    2)Upgrade Blueprint
    The system and components affected
    The mapped business processes
    The requirements regarding business data
    3)Upgrade Realization -- In this phase the solution described in the design phase is implemented in a test environment. This creates a pilot system landscape, in which the processes and all their interfaces can be mapped individually and tested on the functional basis.
    4)Final Preparation for Cutover -- Testing, Training, Minimizing upgrade risks, Detailed upgrade planning
    5)Production Cutover and Support
    The production solution upgrade
    Startup of the solutions in the new release
    Post processing activities
    Solving typical problems during the initial operation phase.
    SAP expects at least 2 to 3 months for Upgrade and that again depends on project scope and complexity and various other factors.
    STEPS IN TECHNICAL UPGRADE
    •     Basis Team will do the prepare activities. (UNIX, BASIS, DBA).
    •     Developer need to run the Transaction SPDD which provides the details of SAP Standard Dictionary objects that have been modified by the client. Users need to take a decision to keep the changes or revert back to the SAP Standard Structure. More often decision is to keep the change. This is mandatory activity in upgrade and avoids data loses in new system.
    •     After completing SPDD transaction, we need to run SPAU Transaction to get the list of Standard SAP programs that have been modified.  This activity can be done in phases even after the upgrade. Generally this will be done in same go so that your testing results are consistent and have more confident in upgrade.
    •     Run SPUMG Transaction for Unicode Conversion in non-Unicode system. SPUM4 in 4.6c.
    •     Then we need to move Z/Y Objects.  Need to do Extended programming check, SQL trace, Unit testing, Integration testing, Final testing, Regression Testing, Acceptance Testing etc.,
    The main Category of Objects that needs to be Upgraded is –
    •     Includes
    •     Function Groups / Function Modules
    •     Programs / Reports
    •     OSS Notes
    •     SAP Repository Objects
    •     SAP Data Dictionary Objects
    •     Domains, Data Elements
    •     Tables, Structures and Views
    •     Module Pools, Sub Routine pools
    •     BDC Programs
    •     Print Programs
    •     SAP Scripts, Screens
    •     User Exits

  • What's the right procedure to upgrade from ACS 5.1 to 5.3

    Hi folks,
    What would be the right procedure to upgrade ACS 5.1 to 5.3 ?
    Our client needs to a smooth upgrade to the latest and greatest 5.3 version. The plan is use a backup made on 5.1 and install it on the new system.
    Should the new system be running version 5.1 or I can start with 5.2 to save time for the upgrade?
    Eugene

    The patch 2 installation went OK, failing on the restore part.
    The database file is 206 MB of size. Isn't it too much to pull over FTP?
    ACS53/admin# restore DB_Backup-120320-1607.tar.gpg repository REPO
    Restore requires a reboot to successfully complete. Continue? (yes/no) [yes] ?
    % Failure occurred during request
    And the FTP server doesn't report any error. The connection is made and closes:
    20:53:43 192.168.1.160 [8]USER boss 331 0
    20:53:43 192.168.1.160 [8]PASS - 230 0

    Any ideas ?

  • What is the procedures to upgrade graphic card

    I've just got a GT 120 graphic card and want to replace the old GT7300.
    (some articals say it works fine with 1st gen intel mac pro and say that install the driver first, but no driver cd in the upgrade kit)
    I've also upgrade to OS10.6.
    But I don't know the correct procedures of upgrading this graphic card.
    Can anybody help me?
    Thanks in advance.
    Cheers,
    Edta

    There should not be any "articles" I am aware of as that card will only work with EFI64 Mac Pro 2008 and later, and not with early 2006/7 models.
    Short list, other than ebay and flashing PC cards: ATI Radeon 4870 - contrary to not being listed by Apple which is just causing us to have to keep reiterating it works.
    The 8800GT is gone, shame, and there is no Nvidia offered for 1st gen.
    Now that you have 10.6 you are fine, just swap out the 7300GT. The 4870 requires 10.5.7 though, so your older systems and DVDs other than 10.6 won't work.

  • HT1338 Do you have a recommended procedure for upgrading from os x 10.4 to 10.6?  The machine is a MB with a 2Ghz Core 2 Duo.

    What is the procedure to upgrade a MacBook 2GHz Core 2 Duo from Tiger (10.4.11) to Snow Leopard (10.6.6)?  We have the new os and apps disks; wish to retain data files.

    Back up the system, insert a retail DVD, double-click the installer, and follow the instructions. The retail DVD will be either 10.6 or 10.6.3; Mac OS X 10.6.6 DVDs can't be used to upgrade.

  • Procedure for Upgrading My Hard Drive

    Hello,
    I have a Mac Pro full of 1.5 TB+ hard drives to store video and other files. My primary drive, however, is only 320 GB and since it is used to hold temporary files while editing and converting video, I have completely filled it up several times and had to move stuff around to get some free space back.
    Ever since the drive was maxed out, my Mac has been running really slow. I checked Drive Genius 3 for fragmentation, and it says my drive is 60% fragmented, so I'm guessing this is where my performance problems are coming from. I bought a new 2 TB drive that I plan to swap out. My only question is how to go about restoring the data.
    I have been backing up with Time Machine for quite a while, so once I swap the drive, should I do a Restore System from Backup, or should I reinstall, then use the Migration Assistant?
    Thanks

    There are a few ways to do this..
    1. Buy Carbon Copy Cloner and use it to create an image of your current disk.. install the new disk, then create new system disk using Carbon Copy Cloner.
    2. Drag and drop all your user files to a backup drive including iTunes and iPhoto libraries.. install your new disk and then drag and drop these files back in. This approach requires you to reinstall MacOS from the system disks 1&2 that came with the original computer, install subsequent upgrades with 10.6.6 Combi upgrade software, and application install disks(images) including iLife '11.
    3. If you used TC to backup your entire disk then "restore" would work as long as you can boot from another disk before you attempt to restore using TC. I am not sure how this in done though so you should get help before you attempt this approach. Some people have had problems associating the old TC backup image with the new user account on the new disk. Maybe macjack (from above) can offer advice on the correct procedure to follow. I just don't know what it is..
    I did a hard disk upgrade on my MBP with approach #2 and a 750GB disk from macsales.com. It worked out fine.

  • What is the procedure when upgrading to Creative Suite 5 Production Premium?

    Hello!
    In 2006 I bought the Adobe Creative Suite Production Studio Premium. The procedure when activating the installation I don't remember exactly. The computer on which the Suite was installed doesn't have an internet connection (I thought that was the simplest and safest thing to do; I have another computer for that purpose).
    Now, if I want to upgrade to Creative Suite 5 on a newly bought i7 computer, what is the procedure? What do I need to prove to Adobe that I'm eligible for the upgrade? Please tell me the serial number on the box is enough... my old editing computer doesn't start at all so any info contained there is unobtainable at the moment.

    The serial number of the old version - is that, by any chance, something you get from Adobe via internet or is it stuck on the box with the manuals and DVDs?I can't remember myself.
    I kept the following (I don't even know if it is from Adobe) on my other (internet) computer. Someone recognizes this as specifically relating to Production Studio, when it comes to the serial number format for example? L is a letter and N is a number.
    Below are your Serial and Authorization keys.
    Enter them in the "Enter registration keys" window, which can be found at:
    "Help menu" -> "Enter registration keys".
    Serial-key: NNLL-LLLN-LLLL-LNLL  Auth-key: LLLN-NLNL-NLLN
    As I said, I can't access info on my old editing computer. Any help would be appreciated.

  • What is the correct procedure for upgrading to aperture 3.4

    I am working in South Sudan and am shortly going to be in a place where I can download all the updates. The last time I did an update was around 2 weeks ago.
    I presume that there will be updates for Mountain Lion, iPhoto and Aperture, plus a whole pile of iOS updates. From the support questions I see that there is a number of people having problems.
    I presume that the first thing to do will be to rebuild the library of aperture.
    What is the correct procedure after that?

    If I do an upgrade through AppStore, and find it does not work, do I uninstall first by removing to trash? What do you mean by revert to an earlier version, and which previous version of Aperture should I use.
    Neville,
    So you did buy Aperture from the AppStore?
    Then move the Aperture application to the Trash, but do not empty it, just in case
    Sign into the AppStore and reinstall. In this case you do not need to revert to an earlier version. If the AppStore installer does not find an Aperture in your Applications folder, it will have to make a full install, and no incompatible frameworks should remain, as is the problem with the partial upgrades right now.
    Yes, I have a bootable clone,
    And have you checked, if you really can boot from your clone? Just being very cautious.
    Do you use facebook? Some posters are having problems, even after reinstalling, if the want to publish to Facebook. Post back, if you encounter that problem.
    Good Luck

  • Query slower in stored procedure(after upgrade to 16)

    Hi all,
    We are looking to upgrade our SQL Anywhere 9 database to 16. We thought version 16 is slower in update tables, but the reason of slowness are query's in stored procedures called from the trigger. One of the query's has a duration of 8 times the duration in version 9!! When I run the query in Interactive Sql(v16), they run fast like version 9. So the query runs slower in a stored procedure.
    I thought parameter sniffing, but it's not MS Sql Server. I've no idea why it was good in v9 and bad in v16. Have someone a idea?
    It's a query with subquery's in the where , a view in the from. In the view are unions. Looks not so special.
    thanks

    It may be more convenient for you to ask this question on the other forum: SAP SQL Anywhere Forum
    Preamble...
    It sometimes happens that (a) the same query will perform faster or slower in different versions because of different behaviors by the query optimizer. In most cases a minor change is necessary to restore good performance; in some rare cases, the changes are difficult.
    It also sometimes happens that (b) the same query will perform faster or slower under different operating conditions; e.g., client request (ISQL) versus inside a BEGIN block (stored procedure). Again, minor changes all that's required in most cases, sometimes otherwise.
    Details...
    In order to help, we will need more information. Two graphical plans with statistics for the same problematic query, both using V16, one captured in ISQL, and the other one captured inside the stored procedure, is the best way to pass on the information; ALL OTHER forms are inadequate, especially prose descriptions and edited snippets of code (that way lies frustration for all parties).
    There are a number of articles about graphical plans on this blog.

  • What is the exact procedure of upgrading the ESS/MSS

    Hi,
    We intially started with EP 7.0 sp13 and ESS/MSS version 600 SP10.Later on we upgraded to EP 7.0 SP13 and ESS/MSS to SP13.
    we have done lot of customisations to SAP ESS/MSS standard code and we did them again when we upgraded ESS/MSS.
    Again we are planning to upgrade Portal to another version .so here my doubts are
    1.Is it necessary to upgrade ESS/MSS everytime we upgrade portal(because ESS/MSS version = Portal version - 3 )
    2.Do we need to do all the customisations again manually?
    3.Is there anyway we can create copy of all the DCs which we want to customise and then do the customisations so that we dont need to redo all the work whenever we upgrade ESS/MSS
    Thanks
    Bala Duvvuri

    Bala,
    Usually, there are 3 (+1 ) types of patches that are done:
    1. Kernel and JDK. This one is easy, can be done often. Affects perfomance, but rarely functionality.
    2. Netweaver SPS. This one will update basic functionality, but in most cases will not affect ESS. Also can be done every 3 month.
    3. ERP SPS. This one will affect ESS. You will be required to go through the cookbook. Backend HR component versions must match EP XSS. It makes sense, because EP XSS will call backend BAPIs and they should be of the same versions. Not very often I see ERP SPS applied every 3 month. One of the reasons is that user UI screens and procedure may change and the cycle of testing and user training rarely fits into 3 month.
    +1. EHP, Enancement Packs. This is SAP effort to give a more granular aproach to functional changes. Basically your functional team will decide if it needs a new function and it will be possible to implement and activate it. If it happens that the function is HR and it affects XSS and it brings a new version, then yes, you will need to do XSS merge-update. It will be clear from the EHP docs. How often to do ESS related EHP? See 3. Keep in mind that EHP docs may give an impression that there is no impact until you "turn on" new function, but it is true for ABAP (with some exceptions), less so on the Java side.

  • Suugested procedure for upgrading

    A recurring theme I see in the posts of those having problems, is that they just clicked on "Upgrade" instead of using either "Archive and Install" or "Erase and Install"
    You should never, never use the "Upgrade" option when installing a .0 release. This is because coorupt or incompatable files may cause problems with the new OS.
    The Archive & Install and Erase & Install procedures are the recommended ways to install a major .0 upgrade, with the latter probably being the best for "purity", though the price is having to re-install all of you applications. I use the Archive & Install method. However, when going from the .0 to the .1, then .2, etc. updates the "Update" procedure works fine. But I still backup beforehand.

    A Mitchell wrote:
    There is no shortage of posts from users who chose the Clean Install option and still encountered problems on restarting.
    Really? I haven't seen a one. I suppose it could happen due to a hardware failure/incompatibility or incompatible plug-ins in the user's library folder.
    Just as there is no shortage of posts from users who chose an Upgrade path and encountered no trouble whatsoever.
    That's true. I still would never do an upgrade on a major version release like this. That is just asking for trouble.
    Obviously if a simple Upgrade were a road to disaster,
    There is no such thing as a "simple" upgrade. An upgrade is the most complicated install method there is and one most likely to cause problems.
    then Apple would not have the installer set to default to this method.
    I think that Apple considers it "not their problem", and I think they are right. The vast majority of 10.5 installs (via upgrade or anything else) have been fine. I think Apple could have done a better job of warning people that they had 3rd party system modifications and that an upgrade install, while still low risk, is more risky than normal. And I've been a good boy and submitted this idea via the official Apple feedback page.
