ECC5 to ECC6 + unicode

Dear Sap users
We have ECC5 System with MDMP codepage (non unicode)
we want to upgrade to ECC6.
our ecc system is in sap_basis 640 16
the upgrade is supported with 6.40 (Basis SP > 21) -> NW 7.01 according to note 928729
I can run the SPUMG check on the sp16
and then copy the system and upgrade the sapbasis to sp21
or I need first to upgrade to SP21 on the basis?
Thanks
Roy

and MDMP --> Unicode migration is much more than just running a few transactions If you read the Unicode conversion guide you will see that.
Neverless, I'd recommend updating first to the latest available support package level on the source system. This will make sure you have the latest tools to prepare the migration.

Diff between R/3 ECC5 and ECC6

Dear All,
Can someone please enlighten me about the diff between R/3 ECC5 and ECC6?
Thanks,
Ashish

May be there are lot of differences but broadly:
the Inclusion of Netweaver Components happened from 4.t to ECC5.0 and ECC 6.0
In ECC 5.0 the component versions of netweaver are of different versions but in ECC6.0 all componet versions of netweaver are same and latest.
Unicode is another important thing for ECC6.0 and 5.0
AP ECC 5.0 is part of SAP ERP 2004---- which runs on SAP NetWeaver 2004
SAP ECC 6.0 is part of SAP ERP 2005 (mySAP 2005)--- runs on SAP NetWeaver 2004S
Main difference is application components and availability of new features.
for new features/changes in core modules like FI, MM etc.. e.g GL function is new in ECC 6.0..

Data load from ECC6 Unicode to BI7 MDMP

Hello Contributors,
We are upgrading R3 system to ECC6 Unicode but BI7 is still MDMP system. I'm testing data load and there are some errors related with unicode conversion.
ECC has multiple langusges like English, Korean, Chinese etc...
BI7 MDMP has English and Korean.
Error1 : Korean characters are broken in 0CUSTOMER_TEXT.
   As you know customer name doesn't have language code in R3 and Korean text are being used for Korean customers. After loading the data, English characters are okay but Korean characters are broken and displayed as #
Error2 : Values of fields are merged each other if there is Korean characters in 0CUST_SALES_ATTR.
   We have Korean characters in some of attributes of 0CUST_SALES. So if a record has Korean characters in one of the field then the following fields are merged each other. But if there is no Korean characters then it is loaded correctly.
For an example;
Values of R3 extractor
    Cust#      Name               Field1          Field2     Field3
    1234     Korean Text               ABCD          EFGH     JKLM
    3456     English Text               OPQR          STUV     WXYZ
Values of PSA table after loading
    Cust#      Name               Field1          Field2     Field3
    1234     Korean Text AB     CDEF          GHJK     LM
    3456     English Text              OPQR          STUV     WXYZ
(*if there are Korean characters then the following fields are divided and a part is updated in to the previous field)
Please help me if you have any ideas to resolve this issues.
Best Regards
HD Sung.

Convert your BI system to Unicode. MDMP is not supported in this scenario, as you have found.

PC00_M14_CDTA ECC5 to ECC6 Upgrade Missing Selection Field

Hi All,
Found out Selection Field of (Pay date) during Upgrade from ECC5 to ECC6 on TCODE : PC00_M14_CDTA.
More information you can refer to below print screen.
Thank in advance for advice.
Trevor Wong.

This has been replaced by "Requested Execution Date". Here is the standard hlpe for this:
Requested Execution Date on Which the Payment Is to Be Made
Use
In this field, you can enter a date on which the bank is to execute a payment. The date is transferred together with the payment information to Financial Accounting (FI), where the payment is executed.
You can use the date to override the default setting or the date determined by implementing the Business Add-In (BAdI) Change of Requested Execution Date for the Payments (HRDME_B_ REGUH_DUE_DATE).
In many countries, the system date is used as the default value for the execution date. In some countries, the payment date of the payroll period is used.
Dependencies
The following sequence applies to determining the execution date:
1. The defined default value is used as the execution date.
2. If the BAdI HRDME_B_ REGUH_DUE_DATE is implemented, the execution date is determined using this BAdI.
3. If a date is entered on the selection screen of the preliminary program, this overrides the default value or the value determined by the BAdI.

Hello Kumar9,
if I understoon correctly your last reply, you have doubts if PSAPPRD640 should exist at all, correct?
Please do the following:
1) Check any object assigned to this tablespace PSAPPRD640
2) If any object occupied to PSAPPRD640 then reorganise to new tablespace
If any object not occupied to PSAPPRD640 then check the table entry
   a)TAORA for tablespace PSAPPRD640(if exist delete)
   b)IAORA for tablespace PSAPPRD640(if exist delete)
3) If above done then drop the tablespace through BRTools.

SAP extract to Excel changed after migration from ECC5 to ECC6

Hi everyone,
This issue is about getting a proper table when displaying SAP reports in Excel. When extracting to Excel, the data base is presented with summary yellow lines whereas we would rather have a regular table without subtotal. This issue appeared when the system was migrated from ECC5 to ECC6. Please notice that one of the user has currently a proper display. Do you know which parameter shall we change?
Thanks!
Stan B.

There are some default setting in the parameters,
Like
RPO0 - User Settings
From FI transactions you can change ti your default settings
Have a look to:
FIT_ALVC X FI Line Items: ALV Grid Control
With KSB1 I see it direct without sub totals and saving.

Technical upgarde from ECC5 to ECC6 EHP4

Dear All,
We are having technical upgarde from ECC5 to ECC6 EHP4. I have have some queries as client what need to be check after upgarde.When golive cahke is done what are check list apar from system is up and running.
Please sugegst
Regards,

SAP offers a pre-golive check before actual go-live by logging into your system and doing some important checks as per the requirement for technical or functional go-live check...
So, you want SAP to do pre-golive check, just open up the connection between SAP and your sap system, at the same time, a connection from Solman to SAP too..maintaining the connection details in secure area
You have to open a message in component XX-SER-TCC to find out if your installation is scheduled for a Go-Live check which is conducted by SAP and itu2019s partners.
Go-Live Functional Upgrade Analysis u2013 ideally 6 months before Golive u2013 basically checks your hardware requirement , will it be able to accommodate the increase in the functionalities caused by the Go-Live, also some parameter recommendations to fine-tune your system.
Go-Live Functional Upgrade Verification u2013 This is normally 2 months after the Go-live which is to see eu2019thing is fine after the upgrade.
Then you have normal Earlywatch session , each installation is entitled for 2 free earlywatch session in a year, in this performance tuning is done for your system, hardware,memory, I/0 bottlenecks are identified.
Reports of all these sessions carried out by SAP is then sent to you in form a MS-Word document and you can follow the guidelines mentioned and call up SAP or mail the person who has done the session for you for any clarifications.
Usually once a session is scheduled.
SAP will contact you to open the connections for them, so that they can prepare the system before the actual session takes place , in which they see , if SDCC version is good enough so that they can download the data from your system into their internal system on which they carry out the analysis
Refer to https://websmp208.sap-ag.de/earlywatch

ECC6 Unicode and 4.7 (Non unicode) on the ISERIES V5R4M5

Hello,
We would like to know if it's possible to have one instance ECC6 Unicode and an other instance 4.7 non unicode on the same server Iseries OS400 DB2 V5R4M5.
Thanks

In I5/OS you have only one database.
You can install the two instances but install first the 4.7 system and then ECC 6.0 system, install with different <SID> and the database library and kernel library must to be defferent.
I do not recommend this installation because it can bring inconsistencies in both systems

Where to download ECC5 or ECC6 help file?

where to download ECC5 or ECC6 help file so that I can install it on my laptop?

Hi,
besides ordering it you can download them at SMP:
For example:
Installations and Upgrades - SAP NetWeaver - SAP NETWEAVER - SAP NETWEAVER 2004S - Installation & Upgrade - Windows Server - ORACLE
Select the "Download Objects" tab. There you find "Onl. Doc. SAP NetWeaver 2004s SPS09" what you want to download.

Recommended upgrade method from ECC5 to ECC6 for lowest production downtime

Hello everybody,
I've been looking through multiple documents concerning a system upgrade and I am still unable to figure out the recommended method for upgrading a system with minimum downtime.
My scenario requires that tests as rigid as possible will be performed and that development will be halted for the shortest time possible , therefore development must be continued after the initial upgrade.
We are currently debating the required way to do this - what should be done with the change requests that currently reside in the DEV system, in which steps the incomptabilities are fixed and so on.
I've decided that I'll share my thoughts with you and maybe you guros will be able to point out mistakes in the methodology.
1. ECC 5 Production System is copied aside, lets call this system EPC
2. Change requests from DEV ECC5 are copied to this EPC System.
3. EPC system is upgraded to ECC6.
4. Bugs and incomptabilities such as unicode incomptabilities are fixed and merged in a change request
This ends the preperation step and in my opinion is sort of a preperation step.
During the whole preparation step, which to my estimate could take at least one month, development in the original system must be continued, so this is my main trouble.
What is the recommended procedure from here?
I assume that another production must be done on the day of the actual upgrade start, then the fixes from the previous preperation system are copied to this actual ECC6 Production, but I am rather lost as far as it goes to having an ECC6 Dev with most current change requests.
I would appreciate any hints and help,
thanks in advance,
Eli.

Ok, your idea of having a production copy for development and tests is a good upgrade strategy, we have done this twice due high quantity of developments and configuragion changes but I don´t see why you wrote " copy change requests from DEV to EPC " your whole configuration, programs, etc, are already in EPC once you copy the system.
In this scenario every change made in DEV ECC 5.0 must be also replicated and tested in EPC 6.0 because you cannot use the change requests from 5.0 in 6.0 once in productive upgrade, let me list the global steps:
1.- Homogeneous system copy from PRD to EPC, you will get a working test platform
2.- Upgrade EPC to 6.0
3.- Developers and functionals will do all respective changes and generate chage requests.
Once EPC is ready
4.- Upgrade DEV system to 6.0 transport change requests created in EPC to upgraded DEV, from this point you should only do emergency changes using Q&A system.
5.- Upgrade Q&A system, transport change requests from DEV, no changes are permited from now until PRD is upgraded.
6.- Do all tests very carefully
7.- Upgrade PRD transport change requests
Then you are ready. the downtime can be tune trough EPC, DEV and Q&A systems so you can determine what you shoud do to assure the shortest method.
I recomend you to use the downtime minimized upgrade method and from every upgrade take a deep look at the upgrade report generated after the whole process is completed.

CU&UC from ECC5 to ECC6 Ehp4

Hi,
We are planning to run a CU&UC from a NUC ECC5.00 system to UC ECC6 Ehp4/NW 7.01 and need to check if this is supported.
I have trawled through OSS/SDN etc and cannot see anything to say that it is not, but an OSS message placed regarding the supportability said that this is not possible as "ECC6 EHP4 SR1 Media is available as UNICODE ONLY, so you
will not be able to perform 'normal' CU&UC using 'EHP4 ready"
There is a NUC 7.01 kernel available, so I am not sure what SAP mean by this??
Regards,
Mark

Hi 'Basis Team',
The original question was "We are planning to run a CU&UC from a NUC ECC5.00 system to UC ECC6 Ehp4/NW 7.01 and need to check if this is supported." is pretty clear I think.
What muddied the water is a reply from SAP to an OSS message placed asking the above question where they say that this is not possible as there are no NUC ABAP loads delivered after ECC6 SR3.
This reply goes against all SAP doco that we have read, and as you say, you have done the same CU&UC that we are tring to achieve.
BTW, which upgrade kit did you use? The Ecc6 Ehp4 Ready SRx one??
Cheers,
Mark

Performance Management ECC5 vs ECC6

I just saw a demo of the new ECC6 Performance Management. I believe I heard someone make the statement that we could use the new version of Performance Management on our ECC5 system. Does anyone know if that is possible? If yes, any idea how much time and effort it would take to implement the newer version of performance management?

Hi Raghu,
So i was wrong about it being portal development, glad I finally figured out how to do it.
configuring the "quick criteria maintenance":
It can be done by config following this post: Define default value in POWL Quick Criteria Maintenance for all users
regarding assessment, it doesn't work for you, b/c you probably haven't done the configuration. go to talent management and talent development > talent assessment.
here you wil have to read all the IMG activities, the documentation is decent on how to implement. Basically with EP4, there are new types of assessment that a manager can do besides just performance, this includes assessing potential, risks, barriers, and development plans. all of these assessments processes tie into downstream talent management processes such as talent review meetings and succession planning. hope this helps.

Transporting BAPI from ECC5 to ECC6 - FM definition isn't avail at target

Hi
I have a BAPI developed in ECC5 System - ZBAPI_TEST, under a function group - ZFG_TEST within a package - ZPKG_TEST.
All these objects are assigned to the same TR number.
I have released, generated Co/Data Files and moved these TR (Co/Data Files) to ECC 6 System.
The associated structures are available in ECC6 System - where the Function Module name is present - BUT NO SOURCE CODE!!!
Is there any special rules we need to follow while transporting a BAPI from one system to other?
Thx
Rich

Please check if the the two includes also have activated and moved or not.
if yes try a re transport.
