CRM upgrade with EHP inclusion

Hi All,
We are upgrading CRM 2007 to CRM 7. Both CRM Abap and Java stacks are installed seperately on different servers.
Can we inculde/ combine the CRM upgrade with CRM EHP1 upgrade? How big would be the time effort involved if we go ahead with CRM EHP1?
Thanks,
Antarpreet

Hi Antarpreet ,
Yes you can go straight from CRM 2007 to CRM 7 EHP1 in one step.
The main advantage is that you have the new functionality of EHP1 in a single project instead of upgrading to CRM 7 and then having to start another project to implement EHP1.
The guides are available at
http://service.sap.com/instguides
scroll down to
SAP CRM
on the main window
Select
SAP enhancement package 1 for SAP CRM 7.0
from the left side and click on upgrade for all the details on how to upgrade straight from CRM 2007 to CRM7 EHP1
Best regards,
Paul

Crm upgrade with EHP1 inclusion

Hi All,
We are upgrading CRM 2007 to CRM 7. Both CRM Abap and Java stacks are installed seperately on different servers.
I have following questions:
1) Can we inculde/ combine the CRM upgrade with CRM EHP1 upgrade? How big would be the time effort involved if we go ahead with CRM EHP1?
2) Any tentative timelines it takes to upgrade an Abap+Java system. This would really help us in efficiently planning the entire exercise.
Thanks,
Antarpreet

Hi,
Same is my landscape (seperate abap and java) instance. I hope by now you upgrade must have started. Please share with me what did u plan in this kind of landscape
Thanks,

Component SAP ABA 7.02 does not show up in sproxy in CRM 7.0 EhP 1

We upgraded our CRM system from CRM 7.0 to CRM 7.0 EHP 1.
This involved an upgrade from NetWeaver 7.01 to 7.02, i.e. also ABA 7.01 to 7.02.
In sproxy in the CRM system we can only see
SAP CRM ABAP 7.0
SAP_BS_FOUNDATION 702
various custom software components.
SAP ABA 7.02 with the interfaces for e.g. business partner distribution is missing.
(When switching to the local view, they are shown and BP replication works.)
So I went into the SLD and looked at the technical system for CRM. Indeed the product "SAP NetWeaver SAP EhP 2 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0" was not marked as installed. So I added it. On the right-hand side under Software Component Versions "SAP ABA 7.02" is now listed.
i then went to the business system for one of the clients and also selected the product "SAP NetWeaver SAP EhP 2 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0" there and I can see the SWCV "SAP ABA 7.02".
I tried restarting both the PI and the CRM instances.
Nevertheless in sproxy in CRM nothing changed.
What else could be missing?

Yes, that's where I copied that line
SAP_ABA 702 0009 SAPKA70209 Cross-Application Component
from.

Ah, the PI/XI content could be missing, even if this shows up in the list of products and software component versions in the SLD?
I have just checked in the ESR, that seems to be the problem, thanks.

You mean if the service pack is different? I doubt that this would result in the SWCV not showing up in sproxy.

Date management in SAP CRM Interactive reports (CRM 7.0 EHp 2)

Hi, all!
I need some help with dates in interactive reports.
My case: I need to add some new Z-dates in interactive report
1. I've create some customer Date types and date rules via Date management.
2, I've add it to screen on wui
Question:
How i can add this dates to interactive report? Does it possible?

Hi Christophe,
Facebook and Twitter are officially integrated into SAP CRM 7.0 EHP 3. Not LinkedIn though.
You can use a custom solution in EHP2. Example is provided in SAPPress book SAP CRM: Techical Principles and Programming.

CRM2007 upgrade with BI 7.0 and SEM 6.0

Scenario: We currently use Opportunity Planning on CRM 4.0, (with BI 3.5 and SEM 4.0). We are upgrading to CRM2007 using only the Sales "Account and Contact Management" and Sales "Lead and Opportunity Management" scenarios in this phase.
We know that upgrade to BI 7.0 is required to support Lead and Opportunity Management and that BI 7.0 will only work with the SEM 6.0 version. We are on ECC 5.0 and do not plan an upgrade to ECC 6.0 at this time.
Question: Can someone confirm 1) that SEM 6.0 is required with BI 7.0 and, 2) If required, can we upgrade to SEM 6.0 in conjunction with our BI upgrade versus as part of a larger upgrade to ECC 6.0 (which now includes the SEM 6.0 component)?
Thanks
Edited by: Rick Moore on Apr 10, 2008 1:17 AM

Hai,
2) We do have the SEM 4.0 addon in existing BI 3.5. Where can we get the media for the SEM 6.0 upgrade so we can upgrade with BI 7.0? We have only been able to locate it packaged with ECC 6.0 media. Can we obtain it separately?---> The media can be obtained from SAP itself or else you can download the same from SAP ServiceMarketplace.
The Upgrade CDs for BI 7.0 are Netweavers2004s CDs only,it contains all the required media for upgrade of both BI and SEM simultaneously.
3) Our ECC 5.0 does not contain any SEM component. I don't believe it is packaged with ECC until 6.0. Is that correct? Our BCS consolidation uses the SEM 4.0 component in our BI 3.5.------> We can get the SEM compoenet for ECC 5.0 also. The SEM can be more customized with BI or WAS700.
Thanks and Regards,

Upgrade from EHP 7.01 to CE 7.1

We have portal EHP 7.01 and we are thinking of upgrading it to CE 7.1 to use Visual composer 7.1 features. We currently got ESS/MSS applications customised and running on EHP7.01 as central portal, also we got NWDI installed on our DEV system. Is upgrading to CE 7.1 is seamless or is it going to be too much hassle because we already have some ESS/MSS applications running on EHP7.01 and NWDI?
I think CE 7.1 uses J2EE server 7 version whereas EHP uses 6.4 version, is this mean there is no directly upgrade from EHP 7.01?
Please clarify from your experience is this something achievable and easy to migrate?
One important question I wanted to ask here is can we use CE 7.1 as a central portal in FPN model? or Should we stick to EHP 7.01 as central portal and use the CE 7.1 as producer portal?
Thanks
Praveen
Edited by: Praveen11 on Aug 25, 2009 1:04 PM

We found that CE 7.1 cannot be used as a central portal and should be installed seperately as lean portal for composite development.
I'm copy pasting some info from documents I gathered.
u201CUsing SAP NetWeaver CE is an application-driven decision u2013 for example because you would like to use new version of Visual Composer or Business Process Management features.
You would never really decide from a portal point of view to switch to CE 7.1, because for overall portal projects SAP NetWeaver 7.0 is the basis of choice.
This presentation aims to give you a short overview into how to integrate the applications from the CE side into your stable SAP NetWeaver 7.0 environment.
It will focus especially on the different integration technologies that are available to provide your CE applications within your central SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Portal.u201D
In short CE 7.1 has its own u201Cleanu201D portal for composite apps. CE could be installed in isolation and be a producer portal in an FPN without having any technical impact on the 7.0 Portal environment. It could be integrated with NWDI on the 7.0 Portal. There are other options also outlined in the articleu2026

Dynamic sql is throwing dump after upgrade to EHP 7.0

Hi All,
My customer recently upgraded to EHP 7.0.

We are getting dump with "CX_SY_DYNAMIC_OSQL_SYNTAX" and the dump message is "

ECC6 Upgrade and EHP 4 because of a CRM7 in the landscape?

Hi,
I am in the way to upgrade my SAP 4.6c system to ECC6.
In my overall landscape, I have a CRM 7 installed.
Do you believe I need to perform a simple ECC6 upgrade or a ECC6 upgrade including EHP4 SR1?
In other words, is it mandatory to go through the Upgrade + EhP4 because I have a CRM 7 around?
Thank you,
Chris

Hi,
according to my view upgrade from SAP 4.6c to ERP 6.0 EHP4 is easy because you can save your time in all preparation task that you to carry before starting upgrade as EHP upgrade itself takes time for preaprtion task....
also, you can reduce the downtime of your production environment if you will directly go to ERP EHP4..
As EHP4 takes significant downtime to upgrade the system ( also depends on hardware and database size)...
Also, you can reduce probablity of error free upgrade by carrying out one upgrade instead of carrrying out 2 upgrade (from SAP 4.6c to ERP6.0 then ERP6.0 to EHP4)...
Hope it clears to you...
Thanks
Sunny

ECC 6.0 with EHP 7

Hi,
Is ECC 6.0 available with EHP 7 for the installation. Can we directly install ECC 6.0 EHP7 or do we need to install ECC 6.0 first and then upgrade to EHP 7.
regards

Hi Denis,
You can install EHP7 for ECC6. You should 1st check Service Market place for PAM(product availability matrix) for combinations of DB and OS. You should understand your usage type and learn more about SWP/SUM/740 kernel/System Preparations and other knows prerequisites

CRM Upgrade 2007 to 7.0 EHP1 / Mount point language Issues

Hi All,
I am working on the CRM upgrade in our landscape (CRM2007 to CRM7.0 with EHP1), Source environment is windows 2008 and SQL 2005.
I am currently in the configuration road map - While giving the mount points, its asking for language DVD for CRM and for language AR.
However I tried the languages under this label numbers (51036861 and also 51036853) - But no luck for any of this softwares. And its keep on telling the below message in the mount point screen
the mount point ' X:\upgrade_softwares\CRM\51036861' cannot be acccessed - Please enter the mount point for the DVD titled language DVD(s) for proudct CRM and language AR
Steps taken :
Its clearly stated cannot be accessed, I thought it must be a permission problem and gave everyone access to the folder , still the same answer. Even I gave the label.ASC as the mount point - but its not working for that as well.
And I thought, it must be a software problem, So I used the other software 51036853 - the error remains the same
Anyone have input on this? Highly appreciable if you share your suggestions
Regards
Robin

Hi Nils,
Thanks for your time, As you said, I have tried with this new label as well - But the error still persist, please find the below logs for your reference. (Also, I tried with the mount point as label.asc - But no luck)

2013 CRM Upgrade - impacts to basic configuration

I am getting ready to go through a 2011 CRM to 2013 CRM upgrade. I am not a programmer or developer however I have been tasked with configuring the 2011 CRM application (we have CRM, proRM & xRM) and need to understand if & how those configurations
will be impacted by 2013. When I refer to 'configurations' I am referring to the following:
System Views, Personal Views, Updated OOB forms, Processes - dialog & workflow, enable/disable buttons & Dashboards.
I've done research on 2013 CRM and there is a lot of information on the environment set up - which is in the hands of other project team members - what I am having difficulty finding is impacts to the above 'configurations'. Any help or information
on any or all of these configurations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

hello,
your question is a bit broad. I will try to reply with the best of my ability.
CRM 2011 to 2013 is a bit tricky because of the changes made in .net framework, JavaScript etc. So any out of the box features like the views, forms etc will upgrade will out much issue.
based on the framework used, your custom buttons, custom workflow activities etc may need some tweaking.
easiest option would be to take a CRM 2011 database backup, restore it as a new SQL server database, use organization import wizard to convert it to a CRM 2013 instance.
the above step assumes that the plugin and JavaScript is already covered by the programmers.
let me know if you have any questions.

1. System copy from live Production to test system copy, in test system you are going to start the upgrade.
2. Do the upgrade ECC EHP 4 to 6 in test system, during this process you have to calculate over all timings of upgrade process of SUM and all other issues.

46C- ECC6 upgrade with EHP4 SAP_BASIS package not found

We are executing an upgrade from 46C to ECC6 SR3 and binding in EHP4.
We have successfully downloaded EHP4 using Solution Manager MOPZ and
provided the generated "XML" file during the PREPARE.
During the phase EHP_INCLUSION, PREPARE is stopping with a message "No
matching SAINT package for 'SAP_BASIS' found".
The KB70102.SAR and KB70103.SAR packages from EHP4 have definitely been unpacked
and are available in /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in and we have prompted PREPARE to search EPS/in but it just returns to the previous error after searching.
It appears from the logs that the upgrade is expecting a "SAINT"
install package for SAP_BASIS and does not consider the KB70102/3
patches as acceptable?
Any clues as to why PREPARE is not accepting the SAP_BASIS packages and looking for a SAINT install?
Below is an excerpt from the EHP_INCLUSION.LOG

Ok, I was able to download the K-701DHINSAPBASIS package from Service Marketplace and this resolved the SAP_BASIS problem. Thank you Markus for this solution.
I also downloaded the SAP_ABA, SAP_BW, and the PI_BASIS components and unpacked those as well in /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in.    My upgrade is now stuck asking for a SAINT package for SAP_ABA! I'm sure the SAP_ABA install, K-701DHINSAPABA, is unpacked and available in /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in.
The SAP_ABA files are definitely readable and there are entries in table PAT03_SDA for them.
I have a ticket open with SAP support but they have not had a solution yet for the SAP_ABA
Solution Manager failed to identify any of these packages as required in MOPZ.
I'm starting to wonder if anybody has ever done a 4.6C to ECC6 upgrade with EHP4 bound before?
Any ideas on the SAP_ABA would be appreciated. Here's a section of the EHP_INCLUSION.LOG file from PREPARE.
