Custom components handling during Portal upgrade from 7.0 to 7.3

Greetings,
I started the upgrade of our development portal from version 7.0 to 7.3. I'm stuck in the configuration step when the upgrade program asks what to do with the custom java components found in the system.
I have 8 components for which I can only select Scan inbox or Remove. The problem is that I would like to keep them as-is but the option Keep does not appear in the combo box.
Does anybody have an idea about how to keep those components as they are?
thank you in advance,
Sébastien

Even i am running into same issue where it doesn't show the option to keep the custom components. Can i know how did you fix the issue?

Portal Upgrade from Nw04 6.0 to Nw04s 7.0

Hi all,
Im trying to perform the portal upgrade from version 6.0 Nw04 SP 19 to version 7.0 Nw04s.
During the preparation I obtain the following error:
#Java###The software component com.wilytech.jmxservice/wilytech.com could not be read from the BC_COMPVERS table; the table schema may be outdated. Fix it and then repeat the phase from the beginning.##
I have implemented note n 873624 in order to align the keyname and the keyvendor in sap manifest.mf but with no luck, the detect start release component fails with the same error.
Any suggestion?
Thanks and regards

Role of Time Mgmt functional consultant during SAP Upgrade from 4.7 to ECC6

Hi,
Could anyone explain the role of a time management functional consultant during SAP upgrade from R/3 4.7 to ECC6.0. Please provide me if you got any documentation.
Thanks,
Sunny

"After you upgrade to SAP ERP 6.0, you can enhance the functionality of your application without performing a further
upgrade thanks to a new deployment technology u2013 the SAP enhancement package for SAP ERP. The enhancement
packages simplify the way you manage and deploy new software functions for SAP ERP." - that is the real benefit of ECC 6.0
There aren't any major changes to PTM functionalities from 4.7 to 6.0. I hope your system is already using IT 2006 instead of IT 0005. Under functional role, you are required to configure/test any functional upgrade and manage data.

Portal Upgrade from EP6.0sp10 to EP6.0sp18

Hi All,
I am totally new to portal upgrade.we have current version of portal as follows:
portal version is: 6.0.10.2.0
KMC version is : 6.0.10.1.0 (NW04 SPS10 Patch 1)
Trex Version : 6.1.10.01
1. I am little confuse about whats the difference between Upgrading from EP6.0sp10 to "<b>EP6.0sp18/ NW04sp18</b>".Is the process for doing above is same or different.
2. I heard from SAP that TREX must be upgraded first before KMC and Portal.Is it true? whats is reason for that
?what should be latest SP and patch for TREX?any documents?
3. Is there any specific sequence to upgrade like TREX->WAS>portal>KMC?
4. What about customisations objects,will that be seriously affected after upgrade?How to prevent that?
can anybody give the Basic knowledge of upgrade and process flow.
Thanks in Advance.Help will be greatly appreciated.
Amit

Hi Amit,
EP6 SP18 ist the actual Service Pack for Enterprise Portal. NW04 SPS(!) 18 is the complete Service Pack Stack for the NetWeaver platform. So if you want SP18 for your portal installation, you should get the whole NetWeaver platform in use for that to SPS18 (as you wrote, for EP this is normally WAS, EP, KM, TREX, eventually NWDS).
TREX normally has the same counting as the rest, but in fact at the moment there is no SP18 for TREX, but it is renumbered again. The actual version reads TREX 6.1 Patch 26.
Sequence is WAS -> portal -> KMC -> TREX. Anyhow, you should not await a stable version if using mixed SPs, especially if mixing 10 with 18 So get all in line and then restart working with your installation.
As you normally shouldn't have customized standard objects but copied them into your own namespace and worked on these, there shouldn't be a problem. If you haven't gone this way, with such an update you will learn how urgent it is to keep this in mind --- never change standard objects...
Hope it helps

Custom Reports migration during R12 upgrade

Error during MaxDB upgrade from 7.3.00.42 to 7.5.00.32

Hello all,
I am attempting to upgrade from MaxDB 7.3.00.42 to 7.5.00.32, as part of a migration from HP-UX 11.11 to Windows Server 2003. The MaxDB database supports a Content Server 6.30 application, and from what I have found so far, I need to upgrade/patch to 7.5.00.51 on the HP-UX server, before I can migrate using the loadercli (as per note 962019).
While performing the upgrade to 7.5.00.32 (following the steps in the Upgrade Guide to MaxDB 7.5), I receive the following error.
chperm 660 sdb:sdba /sapdb/data/config/SDB.mmm
user sdb can access /sapdb/data/config/SDB.mmm
remove /sapdb/data/wrk/dbmsrv.prt
remove /sapdb/data/wrk/SDB.knl
remove /sapdb/data/wrk/SDB.mdf
permissions for databases as of version 7.5.00 are used on your system
database owner is sdb
administrators group is sdba
owner of SDB is sdb (sdba sdba)
user_logon failed
Obviously there is a permissions problem of some kind, but I have not been able to pinpoint where. I allowed the DDUPDATE.SH script to create the user SDB, and it appears to have been created successfully and was used during the earlier steps of the upgrade script.
While working with SAP support I confirmed that I could connect to the database using the SDB user and I also executed the sdbverify, which completed successfully. As per the upgrade guide, I am logged in to HP-UX as root when running the upgrade (and when I ran sdbverify).
If anyone has suggestions on the cause of this error, I would greatly appreciate any assistance.
Best Regards,
Rusty Robbins

Isn't that how it always goes...
I have been fighting this for 4-5 days, and had replied back and forth with support, with no luck on a resolution. But of course just as soon as I post my question here, support comes back with the answer!. I guess that just goes to show how good the SDN site is! ;p
Anyway, the answer to my problem was related to the group permissions on this HP-UX server. The ddupdate script did create the SDB user and set the primary group as SDBA, which normally would give the SDB user all rights for that group. However, in this case the error continued to occur, until I explicitly added the user SDB to group SDBA (at the request of SAP support). This upgrade step did finish successfully, and I am now continuing on with the other steps to migrate to Windows. Hopefully the rest of the steps will go smoother...

Portal upgrade from 308 to 309 on 8.1.7.2 database

Sun Sparc Solaris, v.8
8.1.7.2 database.
Upgraded middle-tier from 9ias 1.0.2.1 to 1.0.2.2.
Now trying to upgrade portal using upgrade script.
Ran through OK first time, but noticed a lot of errors in log - checked on your forums and seem same problem as http://technet.oracle.com:89/ubb/Forum70/HTML/002149.html
So, I tried adding systemtrig_enabled=false to init.ora.
Try re-running the upgrade script and I get:
**Upgrade aborted**. This version of the Oracle Portal/WebDB is not supported fo
r upgrade.. UNKNOWN
If I take systemtrig_enabled=false out, then the script runs OK - BUT leaves me with all the errors relating to WWSEC_API being invalid and column GRANTEE_APP_ID not existing.
If I try and re-compile invalid objects after upgrading, I can't get rind of a lot of the invalid objects!
If I can't set systemtrig_enabled=false to get round the problem, how do I get rid of these invalid objects??
Thanks,
John Ferguson.

Is this a supported workaround by oracle though?
It appears from Metalink that I am hitting bug 1900555.The workaround is to upgrade database from 8.1.7.0 to 8.1.7.1, then do portal upgrade, then upgrade db to 8.1.7.2.
I do not have enough spare time and available downtime from users to spend a day and a half doing this....
Please can someone from oracle confirm svm's solution is valid alternative.

Issues during technical upgrade from version 4.6C to ECC 6.0

Dear All,
We have done a technical upgrade from version 4.6C to ECC 6.0 and encountered following issues -
In the t-code ABZE (acquisition with in house production) there is a check-box for reversal posting on screen with version 4.6C. However, this field is missing in ECC 6.0. Why so?
In the report s_alr_87012327, there is a field "only with creation block" in version 4.6C. However, this field is missing in ECC 6.0. Why so?
Request to kindly suggest the alternative to carry out the same in ECC 6.0.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dhawal

Hi Akshya,
Please find answers below.
1) 4.6c is NON-UNICODE system, Can I upgrade it into ECC 6.0 UNICODE system?
Yes you can.
If you are on a single code page system then you can give a gap between your uprade and unicode conversion. There is no problem with the singlecode upgrade and conversion.
But if your system is MDMP then you will have to do the CUUC method that is both upgrade and unicode conversion together. Though you can give a gap and sign an disclaimer with SAP it is still not recomended way.
2) 4.6c does not have any ITS system installed. If we upgrade it to ECC6.0 ABAP only, then Can I activate WAS internal ITS?
Yes you can activate it.
3) 4.6c does not have any JAVA stack. When I upgrade it to ECC 6.0, can I upgrade it to dual stack (ABAP+JAVA)? If yes, then how?
After the upgrade and unicode conversion you can install the java stack.
Regards,
Ravi.

Issues during technical upgrade from 4.6c to ecc 6.0

Hi
We are doing a technical upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0. Some transactions in QM module when tested in ECC 6.0 test client give a abap termination message (or dump) and certain transactions like qs42,46, qa18, qs34 etc do not get executed (error = no entry foound for......) and similarly in PP-PI module transactions like C203 have similar problems, even though master data does exist. What should I look for? Can somebody pl. give details on configuration checks and the OSS notes from a functional point of view for a technical upgrade?
For certain transactions I get the error message - "Central system of distribution SM-P06CLNT430_TRUSTED is unreachable RFC destination SM_P06CLNT430_Trusted does not exist" - what does this mean?
thanks
BE

Hi,
1. Have you done successfull installation from 4.6C to ECC 6.0 at the time of PrePare ans SAPUP?
2. Check SP' for QM and PP-PI modules from http://service.sap.com/sp-stacks.
3. Configure RFC connections correctly, SM_<SID>CLNT<No>_Trusted automatically created, not manually.

LDAP synch not supported during OIM upgrade from 9.x to 11g

Hi Experts,
Following line is mentioned in OIM upgrade guide for 9.x to 11g (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/upgrade.1111/e10129/upgrade_oim.htm)
“LDAP Sync is not supported when you upgrade from Oracle Identity Management 9.1 to Oracle Identity Management 11g”
Please help me in understanding the above line.
I have a pretty simple setup of OIM (version 9.1.0.2) with AD and Exchange connected. I guess I don't have any impact of above line.
LDAP synch is required when we integrate oracle identity manager with oracle access manager.
Please suggest.
Thanks
M S

Yes LDAP Sync has most of the features when you have OIM and OAM integrated with each other. You can go ahead with upgrade if LDAP Sync is not part of your requirement.

Photobooks during iPhoto upgrade from '09 to '11

Hi,
I recently bought iLife'11 to upgrade from version '09. However, I still have some photobooks in iPhoto that are not yet finished or ordered. I heard some people having trouble with their photobooks (unable to load photos for the books) after upgrading to iPhoto'11... is this a known issue? Is it advisable to postpone the upgrade to iLife'11 until i finished the books or should this not be a problem in most cases?
Thanks for your help!
Mark

Never upgrade any app in the middle of a project. Finish and order your books, then upgrade. Not before.

Test Portal upgrade from 10.1.2.0.2 to 10.1.4.2 and then Portal 11g

Is there any easy method to recreate production like envionment and test upgrade process.
I have read Staging of test envionment http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B14099_19/core.1012/b13995/prodtest.htm#BHAHIHBH
from production and it involves OID,Portal installation and various other steps to copy data. Staging process even does not support Oracle Hot Backup restore :(.
Would this work ?
Restore database backup.
Restore application server backup tarfile.
change hostfile to unix to create alias for this local server.
Even in the client machine ( change hosts file to point to this server)
Can we test upgrade in this manner ? I know oracle wont support ?

No, you can't update 10.1.2 like that. You have to install and use the 10.1.3 version to get those levels of spec support.
By upgraded I assume what they mean is that you can upgrade your environment by installing 10.1.3 and redeploying your applications to the new Oracle instance.

Custom Reports Snapshots Disappeared when upgrading from 2011 to 2013

Hi all,
We are in the process of upgrading our CRM 2011 instance to CRM 2013. Both instances are on premises and use separate servers (SQL, front-end,etc...). This is how we went about it:
- installed CRM 2013 on a new server using a different SQL server than the one used by the CRM 2011 installation.
- took a backup copy of the CRM 2011 database and restored it on the CRM 2013 server
- imported the CRM 2011 organisation on the CRM 2013 installation using the deployment wizard
- the import went without any errors
Now for the issue we are experiencing:
- in the CRM 2011 we have several custom reports snapshots which were then used for subscriptions via SRS
- the custom reports have been imported OK into the 2013 deployment when we imported the organisation
- the custom reports snapshots have not been imported into SRS although they are listed in the CRM user interface under the reports section. When trying to run the reports from the CRM user interface an error message is displayed that the requested does
not exist (as expected as the file does not exist on SRS)
Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Hi Jeffki123,
I can reproduce it as you describing. Based on my understanding, the task pane is drawed by Word applicaiton, the Word applicaiton need to make task pane fit the current version of Office.
>>Is there anyway to control the font size of the custom task pane title?<<
No. As far as I konw, we can only change the size and postion of custom task pane. You can get more detail about the task pane from links below:
Custom Task Panes
CustomTaskPane Interface
I suggest that you submit the feedback from link below, if you want to Word expose this function to enable change the font size of custom task pane.

Loosing all the photos during the upgrade from 4 to 6?

i-Photo- from 4 to 6
My trusty e-mac ( G-4 1gig) blew out it's optical drive so yesterday i had a new 16X installed. I needed to upgrade my OS to run iLife 06 and the new optical drive. My old configuration (OS 10.10 was running iPhoto4. OS 10.4.6 is now installed, iLife 06 is installed. Cool. Except as I launch iPhoto for the first time the warning is "that I will loose all my photos..." (6600 of them) I have made a backup on an external HD folder of my iPhoto Library (6.5 Gigs). Where is the step by step proceedure to have iPhoto06 and all my family and Location Scouting photos and albums just the way i organized them?
thanks
e-Mac G-4 Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Vim:
Is that the the exact warning that you get? I don't remember those exact words from before. Make a backup copy of your iPhoto Library folder and then download and run BatChmod on the original iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
Make sure you've upgraded iPhoto to the latest version, 6.0.4. Then launch iPhoto and let it have a go at the library. With the backup copy there's no risk and we'll see if BatChmod helped at all.
Do you Twango?
