ECC 6.0 UPGRADE - BW 3.10
We are planning to upgrade our source system from 4.6C to ECC 6.0. We are on BW 3.10 ( But planning to upgrade to BI 7.0 once after ECC 6.0 upgrade)
Would like to know,
1. Do we need apply any plug-in requirements to accommodate the ECC 6.0 compatibility?
2. Will the existing BW 3.10 work without any issue with ECC 6.0?
( We are not going to do any change with new Business content available with ECC 6.0)
3. What are the other precautions, we need to take in order to work BW 3.10 with ECC 6.0?
Advance Thanks.

Check the Transportatation Logs in STMS for the programs/screens and check whether they are successfully tranported or not?
Because some times we get Dynpro errors for transportation of the screens.

SAP R/3 4.6 C to ECC 6.0 Upgrade using CU &UC method- Unicode conversion
Basis Gurus
I am working on upgrade from R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0.
ECC 6.0 upgrade completed( still in non Unicode). Now I am in the process of Unicode conversion.
I have used following methods for the upgrade.
1. Combined Upgrade & Unicode conversion(CU & UC)
2. Resource minimized( as I am doing it in Sandbox).
As I understand I need to perform the DB export and Import now for the unicode conversion.
According to the Upgrade document, First I need to run Export using R3load in ECC6.0(Non unicode)
and then install Unicode system and import the same data file.
My understanding was, when I choose, Resource minimized, I need to run Export and import
in the same system.
Can you please help me , whether I need another Unicode system for import ??
GrahamHi,
Dont get confused with upg strategy and unicode conversion.
In general Upgrade strategy (either downtime-minimized/resource minimized)
In unicode conversion you have export/import(exp/imp) of data concept
In CU&UC approach you have to do in a streach to complete migrate from old release to new realease ECC 6.00.
Using database independent (sapinst only) or Using database dependent (migration monitor or Distribution monitor)
It can be done in 2 ways.
If you dont have addtional server for unicode conversion
1)you can either do exp on same hardware and take bakup and do import using the exp dump.
2)Do exp on one server and prepare your target empty database on another server and complete imp of data.
Hope this is clear.

We have alreacy checked note 1002147, which clearly states that we have to include SAPK-523EXINVIRSAHR in the upgrade. SAP_HR is part of the upgrade.
We have included SAP_HR and other Support Package as per the queue generated by Solution Manager, but we did not include VIRSAHR & VIRSANH Packages until we got to this phase. We then included these support packages in eps\in directory, but we are now getting this error now.
Any ideas?
Regards
ChanduHi
This is what the solution provided by SAP Support:
Quote:
we have finally found the problem, it's a bug in the package upload
functionality used by the upgrade. The consequence of this bug is that
Support Packages whose EPS files (.PAT files) have a certain string in
the name, namely the string 0000000 after the _ and before .PAT
extension, are not properly uploaded to the ABAP system and hence are
not visible or known to the upgrade.
This bug will be fixed in the next upgrade tool fix, but in the meantimeyou can use the following workaround:
Check your EPS/in directory after the CAR/SAR Archives of the SPs are
extracted and rename all .PAT and .ATT files, which have a name like
*_0000000.PAT (or *_0000000.ATT), by changing the string 0000000 to
9000000. For example, for the VIRSANH SP SAPK-52302INVIRSANH rename the
file VS30020106486_0000000.PAT to VS30020106486_9000000.PAT
Afterwards, the upgrade will upload the informations about the SP
properly and the SP can be included into the upgrade.
Files:
31/01/2007 07:32 329 VS30020106486_0000000.ATT
31/01/2007 07:32 554,073 VS30020106486_0000000.PAT
If these two files are renamed to e.g.
VS30020106486_9000000.ATT
VS30020106486_9000000.PAT
the affected VIRSANH SP2 is uploaded correctly by the upgrade
functionality and the SP inclusion of the VIRSANH SPs works.
Sorry, as of now I cannot promise you a date when the tool fix will be
available. I have found this bug only today in the evening (german time)and will discuss this with the responsible colleagues tomorrow.
Afterwards, I will know more...
Unquote:
Hope this helps. We have decided against upgrading to 530_700 as it will involve upgrading GRC system and also new version has lot of new functionalities, which we like explore it after the ECC upgrade.
Also, I would not suggest deleting VIRSAHR as all the config and customising done for VIRSAHR will be lost.

Error in WBS Element Hierarchy load after ECC 6.0 Upgrade
Hi All,
After ECC 6.0 Upgrade in R/3, we are doing test load in a Test server. While doing, we have encountered an issue with 0WBS_ELEMENT Hierarchy load. The message in the monitor is like below.
"Node ID 00014240 has not been included in the hierarchy
Message no. RH207"
When I run the same hierarchy in another system which is not upgraded , it works fine.
Anybody has faced similar kind of issues and can throw some light on this issue?
Thanks,
MohanTry activating the Heirarchy in R/3 and re-trigger the load, error is very specific to structure of the hierarchy. there is a possibility that this Hierarcy could have got inconsistent after the upgrade.
Thanks,

Load balancing after ECC 6.0 upgrade
Hi
I we this configuration on ECC 6.0 upgrade:
SAPGUI 7.10
SAP_BASIS 700 Patch level 15
SAPportal ESS
Webdispatcher Installed
Internal ITS
Single sign-on
Can somebody assist as with identifying the problem with load balancing (PUBLIC) E.g. When running ESS remuneration package via the Sapportal. we have configured ITS-Based GUI Services on transaction SICF for customised ZESS_PZ11PDF service.
When we have load balancing group on the load balancing does not work, because I see somebodyu2019s payslip
but when using one app server I see my own payslip. Please help.Hi PR,
Please take a look at the following link:-
http://help.sap.com/SAPHELP_NWPI71/helpdata/EN/28/75153a1a5b4c2de10000000a114084/frameset.htm
"You can only use the SAP message server for HTTP load distribution if
the browser is the direct client of the message server. If another
component lies between the client (browser) and the message server, (for
example, the portal), you cannot use the message server to distribute
the load."
When using the External ITS you could balance the load using the message server and logon groups. In 700 this functionality is not present if there is not a direct connection to the client (Firefox or IE). So you will have to install the webdispatcher to balance the load.
Hope this helps

Hardware requariment for ECC 6.0 upgrade from ECC 5.0
Hello
I am on ECC 5.0 with oracle 9.2.0.7.I need to upgrade this to ECC 6.0.
I have already implemented MM,PP,FICO,QM and HCM.My current data base size is 900GB.This has 30GB monthly growth.
With this ECC 6.0 upgrade i am planing to implement PM,EP.
I know converting none Unicode system to unicode system is required some more hardware resources than the none Unicode.
Some document says 40-60% more disk space and 35% more processing speed from current system.
Can any one give me the correct information about the hardware requirement for ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0 upgrade.
Thanks

DB Migration and ECC 6.0 Upgrade
I have a number of questions, we have a SAP R/3 4.7x200 landscape that is currently Windows 2003 and SQL2000 both 32 bit, we want to do the following, move to Windows 2003 and SQL2005 64bit, perform a Unicode and ECC6.0 Upgrade.
here are the steps I am planning on new hardware
1. Migrate to 64bit
-install 64bit OS and SQL2006 64bit on new hardware
-export db from current 32 bit and import into 64 bit system
a. I am confused, I have seen threads where it appears this was done in house, do we need an SAP certified person to complete this task, this is a hetergenous copy? Note 82478
b. can we do this inhouse if we follow the SAP documentation and checklists provided and have their signoff with checks
- Run tests and then confirm process before real migration
2. Perform Unicode Upgrade
- run this on sandbox, test and verify
3. Perform ECC 6.0 upgrade
- run this on sandbox a no. of times confirm
- freezing development and starting with DEV (this is a small landscape, we can do this)
p.s can steps 2 and 3 be combined in one step, I have broken that out, to in my mind make it simpler to fix if anything breaks.Hi,
DB Migration
1. MS SQL Server 2000 is based on BIN collation and MS SQL Server 2005 is BIN2 collation. SO you need to first convert BIN to BIN2 collation.
Note 960769 Windows Migration from 32bit to 64bit x8664
Note 799058 - Setting Up Microsoft SQL Server 2005
2. can steps 2 and 3 be combined in one step?
Yes. check with link http://service.sap.com/erp-upgrade

Any Specific Guide for Ecc 5.0 upgrade to ECC 6.0 (linux/oracle)?
Hi Gurus
Is there any specific guide available for the Upgrade of ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0 from service market place.
for the linux operating system and oracle database. or atleast , I want to know what are the mimimum checks to be done (prerequisities) in the ECC 5.0 system which need to upgrade into ECC6.0.
Thanks in advance

There is not an specific guide for ECC 5.0 upgrade, just the guides specific for your OS/DB combination, they can be downloaded in https://websmp204.sap-ag.de/instguides but you should use the Unix/Oracle document, -
ECC 6.0 Upgrade from 4.7 - EDI Interfaces
Hi Gurus,
Need your inputs on what are the precautions to be taken during ECC 6.0 Upgrade related to EDI Interfaces. with SAP upgrading from 4.7 to ECC 6.0, do you see any precautions need to be taken considering the middle ware involvement. Also, is there any changes in IDOC Structures in ECC 6.0 which my cause issues related mapping with middleware.
Please suggest.
Thanks & Regards,
C.L. Narasimhan "CLN"Hi,
generally, a release upgrade, delivers new idoc/message types or new releases of existing idoc/message types.
So, taking this in mind, you shouldn't have problems for the mapping of the messages, because the versions of the basic idoc, once released, cannot be changed.
You might have some application problems related to the inbound interfaces, but this is part of the game...the testing phase will highlight whether the problem exists.
A known problem is that the upgrade removes all the customer specific entries in the system table EDIFCT.
Further details are provided in the OSS note [https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/865142]

ECC 6.0 Upgrade - FI Posting (Payroll)
Hi,
We have gone for ECC 6.0 upgrade and face problem with FI Postings(Posting not cleared). We found out that in the new version there is a new node that got added up where we need to add all US taxes(Payroll US -> Posting to Financial Accounting ->Define WT posting attributes).
How can i find which all wage types are US tax related. I know there is one processing class 72, which define Employer / employee tax, but is there any other way i can find out.
Thank you
SreejaHi Ted,
I am talking about GB payroll, so we have to defnitely maintain the tax wagetypes in the new table V_T7US3PRTXSYMKO. Apart from that do we need to do any other settings in FI. Because it is showing the Profit center not filled.
We have also maintained the v_t52swcodist .

R/3 4.7 to ECC 6.0 Upgrade - Best Approach?
Hi,
We have to upgrade R/3 4.7 to ECC 6.0
We have to do th DB, Unicode and R/3 upgrade. I want to know what are the best approaches available and what risks are associated iwth each approach.
We have been considering the following approaches (but need to understand the risk for each approach).
1) DB and Unicode in 1st and then R/3 upgrade after 2-3 months
I want to understand that if we have about 700 Include Program changing as part of unicode conversion, how much of the functional testing is required fore this.
2) DB in 1st step and then Unicode and R/3 together after 2-3 months
Does it makes sense to combine Unicode and R/3 as both require similar testing? Is it possible to do it in 1 weekend with minimum downtime. We have about 2 tera bytes of data and will be using 2 systems fdor import and export during unicode conversion
3) DB and R/3 in 1st step and then Unicode much later
We had discussion with SAP and they say there is a disclaimer on not doing Unicode. But I also understand that this disclaimer does not apply if we are on single code page. Can someone please let us know if this is correct and also if doing Unicode later will have any key challenges apart from certain language character not being available.
We are on single code pages 1100 and data base size is about 2 tera bytes
Thanks in advance
Regards
RahulHi Rahul
regarding your 'Unicode doubt"' some ideas:
1) The Upgrade Master Guide SAP ERP 6.0 and the Master Guide SAP ERP 6.0 include introductory information. Among other, these guides reference the SAP Service Marketplace-location http://service.sap.com/unicode@sap.
2) In Unicode@SAP can you find several (content-mighty) FAQs
Conclusion from the FAQ: First of all your strategy needs to follow your busienss model (which we can not see from here):
Example. The "Upgrade to mySAP ERP 2005"-FAQ includes interesting remarks in section "DO CUSTOMERS NEED TO CONVERT TO A UNICODE-COMPLIANT ENVIRONMENT?"
"...The Unicode conversion depends on the customer situation....
... - If your organization runs a single code page system prior to the upgrade to mySAP ERP 2005, then the use of Unicode is not mandatory. ..... However, using Unicode is recommended if the system is deployed globally to facilitate interfaces and connections.
- If your organization uses Multiple Display Multiple Processing (MDMP) .... the use of Unicode is mandatory for the mySAP ERP 2005 upgrade....."
In the Technical Unicode FAQ you read under "What are the advantages of Unicode ...", that "Proper usage of JAVA is only possible with Unicode systems (for example, ESS/MSS or interfaces to Enterprise Portal). ....
=> Depending on the fact if your systems support global processes, or depending on your use of Java Applications, your strategy might need to look different
3) In particular in view of your 3rd option, I recommend you to take a look into these FAQs, if not already done.
Remark: mySAP ERP 2005 is the former name of the application, which is named SAP ERP 6.0, now

ECC 6.0 Upgrade from R/3 4.6B - Obsolete ABAP Language
Hello all,
I am part of a team that is performing an upgrade to ECC 6.0 from R/3 4.6B. I was wondering if all of the reports, FM, etc. that were developed under "old" ABAP will have to be modified in order to comply with the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/5ac31178-0701-0010-469a-b4d7fa2721ca">Obsolete ABAP Language Constructs</a>.
If the code still works after the upgrade is it necessary to perform all these modifications?
Thank you very much in advance,
Best Regards,
EzequielI would say that is is not necessary. From the second paragraph of your link:
"Although you are generally not forced to modify your existing programs to represent these changes, it would be a very good practice to implement these rules and constructs with any new code development and coding samples." -
IM (Inventory material) is failing in ECC 6.0 upgrade from SAP R/3 4.7
Hello,
We are working on Technical upgrade project (SAP R/3 4.7 to ECC 6.0 EHP 6) for one of our Client.
when we are trying to create a purchase order (ME21N) in upgraded system (ECC 6.0), the field IM Material is failing to accept the internal material values from MATNR field. After entering the IM material, the value immediately got disappeared and it needs some workaround to get the material back in to the IM field along with MPN material.
It was working fine (accepting Internal material) in R/3 4.7, if we give a valid internal material, it immediately get copies to the field IM Material.
In case of ECC 6.0, it is completely failing.
Please suggest if you have come across any solution?
