SAP ECC Migration from Physical to ESX

Dear All,
My company is moving from Physical Servers to Virtual Platform (Vmware ESX). We are using 7.2 kernel on RHEL 5.3 64 bit for SAP HCM. My plan is;
1) Shutdown all services
2) Clone Physical Server into VM using vCenter Converter
3) change all DNS Base information and update IP address
4) Restart the services on new server with new IP Address
My take is i need to request new License for new Hardware. Please suggest me what else i need to consider during this process.
Thanks.

Hi,
My take is i need to request new License for new Hardware
Yes you need to request for new license since your hardware is changing.
Apart from the steps mentioned by you,
1) You need to readjust the RFCs
2) Adjust the TMS configuration
3) Adjust the SAPlogon pad entries for endusers.

9.2.0.6 - 10.2.0 migration, now unable to query file_name from dba_data_fil

I'm in the process of migrating from 9.2.0.6 to 10GR2.
Despite the pre upgrade script specifying there was adequate space in the system tablespace, it ran out of space during the run of catupgrd.sql. I left the script running so only discovered the errors this morning.
However, when I query dba_data_files no values are being returned for any of the file_names for the tablespaces.
I can't resize the system tablespace, I can't shutdown the tablespace because of the space issue in the system tablespace.
Has anybody else come across this problem and know how I can resolve it?:
Thanks in advance

Hi,
thanks for your reply, yes I got a null value for the file name though the file_id was being returned.
I added more space to the system tablespace and re-ran the upgrade script but I got different errors, re-running the upgrade script seems to cause more problems though the documentation says it's OK to do this.
I'm going to start again and clone the database and ensure that there is plenty of space in the system tablespace before starting the 10GR2 upgrade and hope that things go more smoothly this time around.

Data Migration from R3 to new ECC System

Hello,
We are doing a fresh implementation for SAP MDM. Currently we have 3 SAP R/3 systems and 1 non-R3 system (BPCS system). One of the project goals is to do data migration from all these 4 systems into a new SAP ECC system and to MDM for Vendor Master, Customer Master and Material Master. My manager says that we need Business Objects tool to Migrate these data. But, my question is that is it not possible to achive this through XI/PI itself ? Can anyone let me know the entire process in XI/PI as to how do I receive the Idocs from R/3, convert into XML and then send it to the new ECC system in Idoc format ?
Thks & Rgds,
Hema

Hi Gandhi,
You have SAP MDM, BPC and R/3 systems in your landscape, when you are migrating data to new ECC system, what is the role of mdm, did you moving the same data to MDM to avoid duplicate/redundant data??is there any data migration from R/3 to MDM(any integration required)or MDM to R/3,
You have to develop different interfaces to transfer data from MDM to ECC, BPC to ECC.definelty you required one middleware, the option definitely SAP PI. it offers very easy of integration between MDM and R/3 system, you can use MDM-PI adapter to connect to directly MDM syndicator file port from there you can pull the XML file and convert it in to IDoc format use Receiver IDoc adapter in PI, the same way we can integrate BPC system with R/3.
Search in sdn, there are some scenarios integration of R/3 and MDM using PI, refer those links, if still you have any doubts let me know,

Query Migration from BW 3.5 to BW 7.0

Dear All,
We are in the process of migrating from BW 3.5 to BW 7.0 and need to find answers to the following-
Will the query variants created with BEx 3.5 and BW 3.5 be available with BEx 7.0/ BEx 3.5 in BW 7.0.
What all settings need to be made to ensure tht the queries are migrated intact, with variants and other features.
Are there any tables where this data can be found.
We are planning to go-live with 3.5 functionalites as they were, its a technical upgrade.
Regards,
Saurabh Diwakar

Hi Diwakar,
For Query migration - u have to do one simple thing only...
i.e just open the query in 3.x and save it ... then it will be automatically migrated to 7.0...
Hope it helps..

Data migration from 4.7 system to ECC 6.0

Hi All,
I am a Solution Architect. Currently working on a typical pursuit requirement. the requirement is as below:
One of our customer is currently on SAP 4.7 system. Their current system is shared by 2 companies & the companies got demerged now. Hence they are palnning for fresh ECC 6.0 implementation & migrating Master data & transactional data related to this customer from the current 4.7 system to ECC 6.0.
I am seeing possible way for data migration is through ALE or LSMW. But I am not confident about the execution plan & process.
I would wish to know from you people is:
1. The different methods to do data migration from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 with pros & cons
2. How to plan for data migration
3. Risks & mitigations during data migration
4. different kind of skill set & duration required to accomplish this requirement
Currently we are planning for 6 months for the ECC 6.0 core modules implementation.
If you have undergone this kind of project then request you to share your experience. Any information on this regard is appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Suresh

Migration from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 - Deactivate Update of Classic General Ledger

My client has migrated from 4.7 to ECC 6 version. In the ealier version we had a report developed in FI Module, which was created as a local object.
Now when we are trying to activate the same development in ECC 6.0 and I am trying to use the dynamic selections option of this report, system is throwing an error and taking to this customisation node :
Fin Accounting Global Settings (New)->Tools ->Deactivate Update of Classic General Ledger (GLT0).
Can I know the implications of this option ? Can I deselect the check boxes mentioned in this node ? What could be the consequences ?
Please guide me.
Thanks
Ravi

Hi
GLTO is the table that used to get updated with the totals prior to ECC 6.0 (in 4.7).
After migrating into ECC 6.0 the GLTO is no more valid and the new table FAGLFLEXT replaces GLTO.
SAP also recommends to deactivate the update of GLTO via Fin Accounting Global Settings (New)->Tools ->Deactivate Update of Classic General Ledger (GLT0) once you have establised that the new GL is working correctly.
I dont foresee any consequences of deactiavting GLTO if the new GL has been activated in your new client and you are sure that the NEW GL is working correctly.
Good Luck

Workflows to migrate from 4.6C to ECC 6.0

Hello,
We have to migrate from 4.6C to an ECC 6.0 with a lot of workflows already existing.
My problem here is that the ID's of the workflows/Tasks I have to transport are overlapping.
Do you have any idea on how I can transport them without modifying all IDs / tasks in steps ?
Thx in advance,
Sebastien

Hi Sebastien,
This is probably not what you want to hear, but I don't think you can transport them without changing the tasks and workflows so they don't overlap. It will probably just as much work as recreating them in the ECC system.

Martin

Data Migration from 4.7 to ECC 6.0

Dear Friends,
We are doing upgration from sap4.7 to ECC6.0.
We have activated new gl. We have configured all ecc6.0 functionality.
But we stuck on data migration from classic gl to new gl.
We want to activate the migration cockpit but system is asking license key.
My question is, which license key it is?
From where we will get this?
Kindly don't send me any links and any documents related to ecc6 functionality.
Please guide us on this.
Thanks & Regards,

Data Migration from 4.6C to ECC 6.0

Hi all,
Can you suggest me solution for data migration from 4.6C to ECC6.O which technique to be used!!
if you have the documents regarding the above post it which will be useful!!!
Thanks,
Yogeshwaran K S

Hi Yogesh
OS migrations are more or less painless beside the fact, that most "Unix" operating systems are using a different endianess (aside from Solaris on X86_64). For RFC and other SAP proprietary communication this is done in the kernel but if you use own software to read BINARY data (not talking about textfiles) you need to take care of that in your software.
Hope ths helps

Driver and Driver Package migration from 2007 to 2012 R2 query

Dear Team,
I am in the process of migrating the drivers and DriverPackage from SCCM2007 to CM2012 . I am following the below steps and also i am getting below warning message while doing Driver migration.
1) Copied all the driver source path from SCCM2007 to 2012 folders and shared the same.
2) By using migration Utility , i have migrated all the drivers from 2007 to 2012 .
3) After the migration i have changed the dirver source path at CM2012 side pointing to new CM12 driver source path.
4) I have started the DriverPackage migration.
5) After the DriverPackage migration , i have changed to DriverPackage Source path at CM12 side pointing to new CM12 dirverpackage source.
Please help me my steps and procedure and suggest if anything i need to do extra .....
My question and observation :
1) During the driver migration , i got a warning message like . Some drivers not able to migrate due to unsupported by CM2012 .
    a) Is there any way i can find unsupported model drivers before or after the migration
    b) Is there any other process to migrate Unsupported drivers from 2007 to 2012 other than manual import or script basis
2) After the DriverPackage migration and after the change in the DriverPackage source path. I am not seeing any folder creating in DriverPackage new source path (I understood the reason).
   a) Is there any way i can recreate those folders in new source path after the DriverPackage Migration ?
   b) What is the best process for the DriverPacakge migration from 2007 to 2012 regarding the SourcePath.
Thanks in advance....

Data Migration from SAP r/3 to SAP R/3

Hi all,
What is the best method to migrate data from one verison of SAP to another verison of SAP ECC say from SAP 3.1 to SAP ECC 6.0?
This is for all SAP modules including sd, mm, pp, fi, co master and transaction data. I know there are number of technologies to load the data such as LSMW, IDOC, ALE, DI, etc but what is the best way to extract all data feeds to be loaded back into SAP.
Thanks in advace.

Migration from MySql to Derby

I am currently migrating from MySql to Derby.
I have been developing a MRPII package for a while now and whilst my classes worked with MySql I am finding difficulty with implementing them using Derby.
I have developed a GUI interface for MRPII functions and use a Database Interface class to connect to the database.
The Database Interface class gives me the capability of reading and writing from a database.
I extend this capability to sub classes ie part, customers, suppliers, work orders.
The problem I have is with the ' "+standardCost+" ' type statements. In MySql, the database engine recognises that the standard cost variable is a double though using Derby I get the following Errors.
SQL Exception: Columns of type 'DOUBLE' cannot hold values of type 'CHAR'. In Save Data error code30000
SQL Exception: Columns of type 'DOUBLE' cannot hold values of type 'CHAR'. In Save Data error code30000
Executed statement INSERT INTO stock VALUES('BUDGET500','A1', '100.0','50.0','1.0','100.0')
Executed statement INSERT INTO part VALUES('BUDGET500', 'PENTIUM','76.0', '86.0','EACH','MP','7','33')
The only solution I see is giving each subclass of Database Interface the individual capability within that class to connect to the database and use prepared statements.
Does anyone know if Derby has the capability of processing the updates using a similar format as shown in my code.

I am currently migrating from MySql to Derby. Dear God, why?I am using the embedded functionality.
>
I have been developing a MRPII package for a whilenow
MRP as in "manufacturing resource planning"?Yes
>
and whilst my classes worked with MySql I am
finding difficulty with implementing them using
Derby.That suggests that your Java code relies too heavily
on MySQL features. You didn't make your code
portable enough.
I have developed a GUI interface for MRPIIfunctions
and use a Database Interface class to connect tothe
database.
The Database Interface class gives me thecapability
of reading and writing from a database.
I extend this capability to sub classes ie part,
customers, suppliers, work orders.
The problem I have is with the ' "+standardCost+"'
type statements. In MySql, the database engine
recognises that the standard cost variable is a
double though using Derby I get the following
Errors.Right - you're counting on something that might not
be true for all databases. MySQL appears to be doing
an implicit conversion from string to double. Bad
idea.
SQL Exception: Columns of type 'DOUBLE' cannothold
values of type 'CHAR'. In Save Data errorcode30000
SQL Exception: Columns of type 'DOUBLE' cannothold

VALUES('BUDGET500', 'PENTIUM','76.0',
'86.0','EACH','MP','7','33')Do you use PreparedStatements to escape strings and
dates for you? If not, you're in for a bumpy ride.
The only solution I see is giving each subclass of
Database Interface the individual capabilitywithin
that class to connect to the database and use
prepared statements.I would not have a single database interface. Each
class has its own requirements. How can a single
class know about all of them? Better to break your
persistence layer into several interaces, one per
persistent class.That is what I thought
>
Does anyone know if Derby has the capability of

>
You don't use prepared statements, which would help
with your portability issues.
You have SQL embedded in the objects. I'd move it
out into a separate persistence layer.
You might want to read about Hibernate, an
object/relational mapping layer. You've got objects
and tables. Hibernate tools or Middlegen can
generate the XML mapping files for you. Once you
have those, you'll find that Hibernate will make
porting to another database a lot easier. It can be
as easy as changing configuration files.
I'd also look into Spring. It has some great
plumbing to help you deal with databases and lots of
other stuff.

With MySql I could create an instance of Database Interface or use one of its subclasses and perform any function on the database by calling its methods.
maybe it is time for a redesign!

What are the Issues in Migration from oracle 8i to oracle 10g

Hi,
Can you let me know what are the issues that i face when i migrate from oracle 8i to oracle 10g. I will be very thankful if you give me a list of issues that you face while migrating from 8i to 10g

In addition to Max's reply, you must be aware that you have to test your applications agains 10g database before you actually upgrade the database.
If you use CBO, it may produce different execution plans for one query when you run it in 8i and 10g. This may affect your application performances, which you don't like to happen.
Also you have to decide how much downtime you can afford during the migration. Can you afford some downtime and how much? If you can't than this makes the situation more complicated.
How big is your database? You may end up only with simple export/import solution using export import utility.
The bottom line is, whatever you decide, you must test your applications running against 10g database before you actually upgrade your database.

Migration from Windows 32 bit to 64 bit Customized reports PDF output issue

Hi Gurus,
Product Version: 12.1.1
Operating System: Linux x86-64
Database Version: 11.1.0.7
We have migrated from Windows 32 bit to Linux 64 bit, our PDF reports shows some Greek Charters
vi /opt/oracle/apps/tech_st/10.1.2/bin/reports.sh
NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1; export NLS_LANG
SELECT * FROM NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS
NLS_CHARACTERSET=AR8MSWIN1256
Regards,

Mean the result of query SELECT * FROM NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS
NLS_CHARACTERSET=AR8MSWIN1256
and 11g database character set is AR8MSWIN1256
vi /opt/oracle/apps/tech_st/10.1.2/bin/reports.sh' refers to 10g. Oracle EBS R12 oracle home not a DB Oracle HOME
Hope you understand now.
