ECC upgrade and integration models

Experts,
We are upgrading our R3 system from 4.7 to ECC 6.0. We currently use SCM 5.1. During the upgrade from SCM 4.0 to 5.1, we had to do a re-initial transfer of our PDS integration models and a full curto_create, because the PDS tables had changed so much.
Is there a similar concern with an upgrade of R3 4.7 to ECC 6.0? Should I be doing a re-initial transfer of my integration models after the new ECC 6.0 system is built and released?
Thanks,
Matthew Bruckner

Hi Mathew,
Thanks for input. We are going for upgrade from SCM 4.1 to 7.0.
I never been upgrade of ECC. I think it is always better to do the initial transfer after upgrade.
Any way initial transfer will not create any issues.
Also check T.code SPAU to know the modification in the upgrade system from your old version.
I hope this helps.
Regards,
Kishore Reddy.

ECC Upgrade and XI 3

Hello all,
We're going to start an ECC 6 upgrade project from R/3 4.6C with XI 30 in the system landscape and would like to know if we have first to upgrade the XI system to 70/71.
Since SAP note 1043047 states that PI systems must be at the same version or newer than connected system our concerns are that we could get into troubles without upgrading XI (which is based on 640 while ECC 6 is based on Netweaver 2004s).
Do you have any suggestion ??
Many thanks and best regards,
Michele

Hi,
What I would like to understand is if I have to upgrade first to PI before starting the ECC upgrade project.
Note 1043047 states that "For PI, it is a prerequisite that no other system in the system landscape
has a higher release than the PI system."
This means to me that since ECC 6 is Netweaver 2004s based we have first to reach at least Netweaver 2004s level on the XI side..or am I wrong ?
Thanks and regards,
Michele

R/3 4.7 to ECC Upgrade and configure clustering

Hello All,
I have a query in which I am looking for a best approach.
Currently I have my R/3 4.7 System on AIX and Oracle. Now I want to Upgrade the system to ECC 6 EHP4 and then configure HA for the ECC System.
Can some body suggest me the best process how to go ahead. I want to install ASCS and Dialog Instance on Node 1 and CI and Database on Node 2. Please explain me how can I seperate my ASCS now as in 4.7 ASCS was a part of CI.
Regards,
Nirmal.K

You can do fresh install the ASCS and DVEBMGS with sapinst (yes even with an ASCS, the first dialog instance is still called central instance). There is also a createscs procedure available, have a look at note [821904 - Separating SCS instances for ABAP and J2EE|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/821904]
But you don't need to do this at all, you can still run the one single central instance on node 1. In your setup splitting the central instance does not provide any additional benefit.
Cheers Michael

Install instructions for Search Modeler and integrating with Apps 11i

Below are all the steps I took for creating integrating Search Modeler with an Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 ATG RUP 7 instance called ERNIE.
Much thanks to Oracle Support ( Rajesh Ghosh, Vikas Soolapani and Roger Ford), as this simply wouldn't have been possible without them.
There are a few things in this document that may not be pertinent to your environment if you're doing this. I've made attempts to clarify those possibly optional sections in the documentation.
I've broken the document down into the following multiple parts
o Setting up a new RedHat 4.8 x86 server called ausSEARCHdev (The server is in AUStin, TX, is dedicated to SEARCH, and is for our DEV environment)
o SES (Secure Enterprise Search 10.1.8.2 install
o SES 10.1.8.4 patchset install
o SES CPU patch apply
o Standalone OC4J and ADF installation
o Search Modeler installation and configuration
o Configure ERNIE Apps instance to be on valid self-signed SSL certificate
o Import ERNIE SSL certificate into SES and Search Modeler
using aussearchdev initially
rh4 x86, default oracle build

ADF - http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/jdev/htdocs/adfinstaller10133.html
OC4J install
First you need to have Java 1.5 on the machine. Latest is 1.5.0_22. Package is in /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES
as root on aussearchdev
cd /usr/local

So, creating a self signed SSL certificate for ERNIE EBS instance (this will not work if you use an SSL certificate for another server like say, PROD)
doing this on ausernieapp
openssl genrsa -des3 -out ausernieapp.key 1024
PEM key is ausernieapp
openssl req -new -key ausernieapp.key -out ausernieapp.csr
PEM key is ausernieapp

Now let's remove the passphrase from the key
cp ausernieapp.key ausernieapp.key.orig
openssl rsa -in ausernieapp.key.orig -out ausernieapp.key
Now let's generate a self-signed certificate
openssl x509 -req -days 1000 -in ausernieapp.csr -signkey ausernieapp.key -out ausernieapp.crt

For troubleshooting, if you go to end of /d01/oracle/10.1.8/sesdev/search/data/config/crawler.dat
you can modify the logLevel from the default of 4 to 2 to get better debug data. No services need to be restarted, it will become active with the next crawl.
While talking with Oracle, they mentioned the following patches
The patches identified 8321527 and 7586924 are SES patches to help with indexing
They also identified patch 9103851 which is an apps patch dealing with responsibilities <-- This is not yet available

Below are all the steps I took for creating integrating Search Modeler with an Oracle E-Business Suite 11.5.10.2 ATG RUP 7 instance called ERNIE.
Much thanks to Oracle Support ( Rajesh Ghosh, Vikas Soolapani and Roger Ford), as this simply wouldn't have been possible without them.
There are a few things in this document that may not be pertinent to your environment if you're doing this. I've made attempts to clarify those possibly optional sections in the documentation.
I've broken the document down into the following multiple parts
o Setting up a new RedHat 4.8 x86 server called ausSEARCHdev (The server is in AUStin, TX, is dedicated to SEARCH, and is for our DEV environment)
o SES (Secure Enterprise Search 10.1.8.2 install
o SES 10.1.8.4 patchset install
o SES CPU patch apply
o Standalone OC4J and ADF installation
o Search Modeler installation and configuration
o Configure ERNIE Apps instance to be on valid self-signed SSL certificate
o Import ERNIE SSL certificate into SES and Search Modeler
using aussearchdev initially
rh4 x86, default oracle build
** htop and collectl are open source free performance monitoring packages we utilize**
--start
install htop and collectl

chkconfig collectl on
service collectl start
**We still need to install the necessary rpms so that collectl logs are compressed
--end
useradd -u 501 oracle

** /mnt/oraclebackup is a network dumpspot we use to hold Software installs, RPMs, etc
** /mnt/rpms is a network dumpspot we use to hold ISOs for OS software such as Redhat Linux
mkdir /mnt/oraclebackup

add the following to /etc/fstab
XXXXXXX:/patches/oraclebackup /mnt/oraclebackup nfs defaults,hard,nolock 0 0
XXXXXXX:/esxpress/nfs /mnt/rpms nfs rw,addr=XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX 0 0
mount /mnt/rpms
Next need to install various oracle needed RPMs.
cd /mnt/rpms/rh40_upd8/RedHat/RPMS/
rpm -ivh perl-Compress-Zlib-1.42-1.el4.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh libaio-devel-0.3.105-2.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh sysstat-5.0.5-25.el4.i386.rpm
rpm -ivh unixODBC-devel-2.2.11-1.RHEL4.1.i386.rpm
service collectl restart

rpm -ivh oracle-validated-1.0.0-18.el4.i386.rpm

ADF - http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/jdev/htdocs/adfinstaller10133.html
OC4J install
First you need to have Java 1.5 on the machine. Latest is 1.5.0_22. Package is in /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES
as root on aussearchdev
cd /usr/local
cp /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin .
chmod 700 jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin
./jdk-1_5_0_22-linux-i586.bin
yes
install OC4J just by copying over the directory
as oracle on aussearchdev
mkdir -p /d01/oracle/oc4j
cd /d01/oracle/oc4j
cp -r /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/oc4j/* .
ADF install
vi /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/adf/adfinstaller.properties
change the following
OracleHome = /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/adf
DesHome = /d01/oracle/oc4j/
type = OC4J
as root
cd /usr/bin
rm java
(yes)
ln -s /usr/local/jdk1.5.0_22/bin/java
su - oracle
java -version     should now return 1.5.0_22
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/local/jdk1.5.0_22
cd /mnt/oraclebackup/deathstar_patches/SES/adf

So, creating a self signed SSL certificate for ERNIE EBS instance (this will not work if you use an SSL certificate for another server like say, PROD)
doing this on ausernieapp
openssl genrsa -des3 -out ausernieapp.key 1024
PEM key is ausernieapp
openssl req -new -key ausernieapp.key -out ausernieapp.csr
PEM key is ausernieapp
Country US
State Texas
Locality Austin
Organization Name Corporation
Organizational Unit Name Information Technology
Common Name ausernieapp.domainname.com
Email address [email protected]
No challenge password
No optional company name
Now let's remove the passphrase from the key
cp ausernieapp.key ausernieapp.key.orig
openssl rsa -in ausernieapp.key.orig -out ausernieapp.key
Now let's generate a self-signed certificate
openssl x509 -req -days 1000 -in ausernieapp.csr -signkey ausernieapp.key -out ausernieapp.crt
Install the private key and certificate
cd $IAS_ORACLE_HOME/Apache/Apache/conf/ssl.crt
cp server.crt server.crt.backup.03102010
chown applmgr:applmgr server.crt.backup.03102010

E-Recruiting - active on both central ECC + Standalone box and integrated?

Hi,
Can someone tell me if the following landscape is possible with E-rec? (we are installing ehp4)
a) Our central ECC system with the E-Rec component activated. Used for internal recruiting.
+
b) A standalone E-Rec box , connected and integrated via ALE to the above central ECC system. Used for external recruiting.
So we now have have E-rec activated on both systems with the standalone one integrated into the ECC6 one where E-rec is also active.
Will we have all the functionality of E-Rec/Talent Mangement availalble in this landscape? Will the manager via the Recruiter business packages and MSS be able to use all functionality seemlesly with all data merged between the systems? Do you think all BI reporting on E-rec will work as it suppose to?
We want to be able to integrate and use the data from both systems as a single unit with standard SAP functionality. We only want to physically seperate where the external and where the internal users log on to.
Thanks

Hello,
My suggestion to you would be to have the ECC server upgraded to EHP4, activate E-Recruiting and have it inside the firewall as the back-end server. Recruiters and Managers accessing through portal will access this system. You will have the other server as the front-end server with E-Recruiting. Candidates will update their information in this front-end server, which will in turn update the back-end server through an RFC. This can be achieved through configuration if you check in SPRO.
There is no such thing as external recruiting or internal recruiting to some extend. What you have is external and internal candidates in the same talent pool. It is when you post to candidates where you can select whether you want internal candidates only to apply or external candidates. The external will not see internal postings and vice-versa when they search for jobs. External candidates will login from the internet while internal candidates will login from the portal. Your candidate's information will be residing in both systems but the backend will be updated through an RFC.
In this case the BI will work as normal. I hope this will help you - but this is my opnion.
Best Regards,

Can I work backward from APO CIF function module to ECC Integration Model

On our APO box, I have activated the "new-style" BAdI which is called by the CIF function module /SAPAPO/CIF_TLANE_INBOUND:
CALL BADI lr_ref_cif_enhance->inbound_tlane
How can I find out what the business analysts have to do in their ECC Integration Model
to make sure that the CIF_TLANE_INBOUND function module is called when the Integration Model is activated (so that the BAdI will also fire)?.
Our current Integration Model does fire the BAdI /SAPAPO/IF_EX_TR_TRANSFER , but not the "enhance inbound tlane" BAdI called by CIF_TLANE_INBOUND.
So ...to restate the question:
How do I figure out what I have to tell the business analysts to do in their Integration Model to make sure that CIF_TLANE_INBOUND is called when the model is actrivated ???

Hi David,
I was away in a long meeting and just came back. A quick check in another R/3 (Enterprise) system showed the following:
There is no FM in the R/3 Enterprise box as CIF_TLANE_SEND and in APO (SCM4.1)
/SAPAPO/CIF_TLANE_INBOUND. This is not surprising esp when I check the other system versions based on which I did the initial research. It was ECC 6.0 with Enterprise Extension DFPS switched on (checked SWF5) and the APO system SCM 5.0.
Lucky me I checked the internal Sandbox systems instead of my client systems otherwise I would have posted there is no FM CIF_TLANE_SEND
Forget the SD Scheduling Agreement object I mentioned in the previous reply. That master data object will not trigger FM CIF_TLANE_SEND. I found the correct FM for it CIF_SDLS_SEND on R/3 side and /SAPAPO/CIF_TPSCO_INBOUND on the APO side.
So you have to necessarily use the BADI or User Exit enhancements for TPSRC and NOT TLANE.
In any case if its a Contract or Scheduling Agreement or Purchasing Inforecord master in R/3 (or ECC any version) then TPSRC is the FM used to create External Procurement Relationships (txn /SAPAPO/PWBSRC1) in APO during CIF transfer. Also a corresponding Transportation Lane (txn /SAPAPO/SCC_TL1) gets created when the Procurement Relationship is added in APO. Otherwise you can always manually create a transportation lane in APO which is an important master data for External Procurement Order / Requisition creation in APO.
Hope this helps. I am logging off for today - so no more further digging. But thanks to you I discovered another small "blackbox" of SAP. Will blog on this some time later - till then you can take a look at the [CIF Wiki|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SCM/CIF] page.
Best regards,

I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008) and am currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I would like to know which is the most stable upgrade for my model. I have read some reviews of Maverick and Yosemite making the older macs slower. Is this true?

I have a MacBook Pro (15-inch, Late 2008), Intel Core 2 Duo 2.53 GHz, 4GB Memory. and am currently running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
I would like to know which is the most stable upgrade for my model? Mountain Lion, Mavericks or Yosemite?
When I had gone to the apple care centre in India a few months ago to upgrade my OSX to Mountain Lion, I was told that considering my macbook pro's specs, upgrading it would just make it less efficient, and that I should stick to Snow Leopard unless I consider buying a newer mac that would benefit from it. Is this true? I find it a bit hard to believe. Which update is most recommended?
I also notice that my mac has gotten considerably slower. While using chrome, it buffers and struggles with even just 5 tabs open. Could this have something to do with my current ios? As a precaution, I have always been making sure I have enough free space on disk i.e around 70 - 100 free out of 250GB.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Mavericks is no longer available from the App Store, so your choice is Yosemite. One option is to create a new partition (~30- 50 GB), install the new OS, and ‘test drive’ it. If you like/don’t like it it, you can then remove the partition. Do a backup before you do anything. By doing this, if you don’t like it you won't have to go though the revert process.
Check to make sure your applications are compatible.

Reload older versions from iTunes on a computer, or buy a newer device.

CIF - Integration model name and APO application

Hi Experts,
In the CFM1 Transaction, there are 3 mandatory inputs are Model name, Logical system and APO application.
Logical systems are customized in CFC1 transaction. I couldn't trace the model name and application creation.
What is the transaction to customize/Create the new Model name and APO application.
Hope this is very simple question to you and expect your soon.
Thanks,
Saravanan V

Hi Somnath,
Thanks for ur reply.
First I saved the selection as variant. But it was not updated in the IM table.
Then I tried to generate the model and now I can see the details when I use the F4 help.
So, to create a integration model need to generate the variant once.
Thanks for the confirmation.
Thanks,

Upgrade to ECC 6 and workflow issues

Hello,
We have just upgraded to ECC 6 and have some issues with workflows. Each dialog step in the workflows appear in the respective agents inbox, but once they action, the workflow do no proceed further. The log shows that the step did receive the terminating events, but doesnt proceed from there.
Anyone who had similiar issues, can you please let me know how you went about overcoming this ?
Cheers,
Satish

Hi Satish,
Please check the agent assignment for the dialog step task. Also try by setting the task as a general task (if no particulat agents are desired).
Do let me know in case of further queries.

BOM and PDS in integration model

Hi, All!!
Could you help me colleagues?
I try to create integration model in ECC (transacion CFM1), but at choice PDS or BOM the system gives out the message: "Integration model contains object types not valid for this APO release"
How to transfer in APO this data?

Thanks, I have understood

Regarding Integration Model to CIF from ECC to APO

Hi ,
Please assist me in the following issues:
What will the impact if any material is ciffed twice or multiple times from ECC to APO through IM ...will it generate inconsistency ? if so, how we can avoid this ?
While I'm ciffing the material from ECC to APO through IM, the ' Find Master Data Object ' is showing certain number say 'X' but when I'm running CTM for it the explosion of BOM of Master Data is showing less number of material than 'X'...in that case what might be the possible issue ?
While generating IM , can I club Sale Order, Sale Order Stock, Planned Order, Prodn order under same variant ? or ill it generate inconsistency ?
TIA
-Michael

Hi Michael,
1. It is not a problem. Is is quite common to CIF materials twice a days or even more. It shoul not generate inconsistencies.
2. You could have more materials than materials bith BOM. In other words, maybe not all your materials have a BOM.
3. Its recommended to have a separate integration model for your object.
Read this document with the Best Practices:
https://websmp102.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000715082008E
Also, note that I was mentioned by Dog Boy, it is convinient asking single questions in your threads. This way you will find more responses.

EWM-ECC CIF Integration model

Hello All,
I want to tansfer data for plant,shipping point,customer and vendor from ERP to EWM.For this I have created Integration model.When I am trying to activate this I could not as I am getting message like'Queue for current initial data transfer is deregistered-Tgt System: APOCLNT800-Deregistered Queue' and hence Inbound queue blocked.
What could be the reason for this message. How to unblock this Inbound queqe?
Thanks,
Shailesh

Hi James,
Thanks. But this error is due to queue 'CFLD* System is not activating integration model and showing error like this'Operation terminated due to error (queue CFLD*, target system APOCLNT800)'
In SMQR I could not find this queue to acivate ,I tried in SMQ1/SMQ2, but I could not find this queue.
Do I need to create this queue? I yes I am unkown T.code for this. Do you have any idea?
Thanks,
Shailesh

Integration Models and CCR simultaneously . .

Dear All,
i have 2 questions :
1) Why cant we run two Integration model simultaneously ???
and
2) Why cant we run CCR jobs in parallel with planning run ???
Please let me know your observations and opnions.
Regards,
Prasad

Hi Prasad,
Below are the answers for your queries.
1) Why cant we run two Integration model simultaneously ???
Integration models are the building blocks of both master data and transactional data for APO. It has to be contructed in APO in a sequence or in a order so that the updation of data can be performed sequentially. Each data will look into the update of other data. For example, we need to run integration model for location first and then location-product. The first run of location will create integration model for location in APO and then when we run subsequently the location-product, the combination will be referred in APO. If we run both location and location-product together, if location-product tries to update the APO system first(tables) before location data, then it will throw out error and cancel the model run. Hence, it is advisable to run the models one by one in a sequence.
2) Why can't we run CCR jobs in parallel with planning run?
CCR runs will compare the transactional data between both R/3 and APO and display the results. Planning run will perform the planning based on the selection conditions and it takes data from both R/3 and APO. The planning results will be transferred from APO to R/3 based on our customisation settings. During the time, when transfer of results happening, if paralley, comparison of both system data happens via CCR job, it will not give correct data or end up with errors or tries to cancel the job.
Hope this clarifies your question.
Please confirm whether you are clarified?
Regards
R. Senthil Mareeswaran.
