ECC6.0 EHP4 upgrade best approach

Hi,
What will be best approach for the following scenario:
Source:
OS - Windows2000,32bit
DB - Oracle 10g
SAP - R/3 4.7Ent,NUC
Target:
OS - Windwos2008,64bit
DB - Oracle 11i
SAP - ECC6.0 EHP4,NUC
Any suggestions?
Thanks and Regards,

Hello,
>> After step1 is it really required to wait for 4 weeks to get the system stable before the start of upgrade as per the SAP recommendations?
It is recommended and you should but you are not forced to if you are comfortable in three weeks as well
>> For step4,can we follow standard backup/restore method after the upgrade is completed?
Yes, it works fine. See an SAP Note for Win 2003 to Wind 2008 migration. It will be homogeneous system copy and backup/restore can be utilized.
>> If we think of performing the unicode conversion,then which of the following methods mosts applicable?
Combined Unicode and upgrade at step2 or perform the upgrade first,then export the system and import in Windows2008 as unicode?
If you include Unicode Migration as well, then you have FOUR major things to do (after migration to 2003 64 bit) -
1. Oracle Upgrade
2. ECC Upgrade
3. Unicode Migration
4. Win 2008 Migration
Option 1-
A) You can combine the ECC upgrade with Unicode migration along with Oracle upgrade to 11g (Step 2 & 3) in 'Combined upgrade and Unicode' Procedure.
B) Then you carry out win 2003 to win 2008 migration by either EXPORT/IMPORT or Backup/Restore
Option 2 -
A) You go ahead with only ECC upgrade (only the step 2)
B) Then you go ahead EXPORT/IMPORT for - Unicode Migration + Win 2003 to Win 2008 + Oracle upgrade to 11g - all in One go
I would go with Option 2.
Thanks

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
Rahul

Hi 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

Best approach to upgrade MaxDB AND move to new OS release

What would be the best approach to upgrade Contentserver MaxDB 7.5 on W2K server (32-Bit) to MaxDB 7.7 on Windows 2008 Server x64 (R2?)?
1. a) Upgrade MaxDB on the existing installation
     b) Create a complete backup
     c) Install latest release on new machine
     b) recover with backup from existing installation on new machine
2. a) Create a complete backup from existing installation
    b) Install same release on new machine
    c) recover with backup from existing installation on new machine
    d) upgrade to latest release on new machine
Both approaches share the problem that you have to run a OS/DB release constellation that is not released according to SAP PAM. The second approach has the advantage that the source system will not be touched and is still available in the original status if something fails. But the main issue is the compatibility question (7.5 not released for W2008, 7.7 not released for W2K)
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Matthias

Natalia,
thanks for your answer.
> Do you have Content Server 6.40 ?
yes.
> the MAXDB version 7.5 is not released on W2008
neither is 7.7 on W2K.
> I recommend to go with 1 option.
Which would be this one:
>>1. a)Upgrade MaxDB on the existing installation
So can I upgrade to 7.7 on W2K though it is not released for this combination?
Best Regards,
Matthias

ACLDL, Vistex Vendor Keys - Invalid from 46C to ECC 6 (EHP4) upgrade

HI
We are upgrading our system from 4.6C to ECC6 (EHP4) directly using
CUUC approach.
In the IS_SELECT phase we have got three add-ons
ACLDL
IRMGLB
IRMIPM
The note 632429 is mentioned to be referred to get the vendor keys.
But there is no vendor key for the above three addons mentioned.
I have referred the note 1069063 - Vistex IP Module Upgrade Guidelines.
It has given three keys
Target version
" ECC60                  3406956 1295006
ECC60 w/ EhP            See below, depends on SAP_BASIS release
For ECC60 w/ EHP only, if your system is on SAP_BASIS release 700 when starting the update with SAPehpi, then use these keys:
        IRMGLB = 1408873 IRMIPM = 1131158
For ECC60 w/ EHP only, if your system is already on SAP_BASIS release 701 when starting the update with SAPehpi, then use these keys:
        IRMGLB = 1103857 IRMIPM = 1162672
I tried all the above three keys, but all are invalid.
Can anyone help us to provide the valid vendor keys for
ACLDL (source version - 400)
IRMGLB (source version - 30B)
IRMIPM (source version - 30B)
Thanks & Regards

Hi , we are doing upgrade from R/3 4.6 c to ERP6.0 with EHP4 -SP08.
during sandbox , I have removed ACCL component and continue the upgrade. I have created OSS messgae and they said check with your ACC vendor team.
As of now I don't received any issues either development team during UT/IT. ( Integration Testing is going on)
We are planing to do mock upgrades and let me know if you have any data loss or any issues during testing without ACCDL component.
Finally , I check with customer and they said we are not using any more ....
Please advice if any thing is missing ! Appreciate your help.

Unfortunately, Safari cannot be updated past 5.1.10 on a Mac running v10.6.8.
So, the options are to upgrade to a newer OS X or use Firefox or Chrome.

EHP4 Upgrade pahse REPACHK2

Hi Gurus,
I have recently installed ECC6 EHP4 ready on AIX environment. We decided to upgrade its ECC 6 components to ECC 6.04/EHP4. I am now in the phase REPACHK2. It show the message
PREPROCESSING - Shadow System Installation
Lock Development
The development has to be locked now!
After locking the development, no one can change any development object until the end of the process.
The problem is the GUI seems freezed/Hang, I could not press back or next. On my research the next phase is LOCKEU_PRE to lock the system.
Other details:
1. I executed topas from the command line and it shows the running application JAVA CPU 90% usage Disk 80% usage. Now I could not tell whether the system is running the phase REPACHK2 or does it still wait for my input.
2. I select high resource during the phase.
3. SAPehpi LOG shows that im currently in REPACHK2 phase.
Please advise what to do?
Thanks in advance,
Newbie

Hi,
Let me know yr hardward configurations.....!!
Restart the EHPI process again. Again it stops, stop the installtion, restart the entire server again, and restart the installation.

Hi
Don't know if it is still relevant (or even the same issue) but I had a similar problem with a file ##f not found directly after a mention of "reading dbclient.lst" in the log, and I fixed it by opening dbclient.lst in notepad and saving it again as ANSI. The original was Unicode and I noticed some other .lst file was ANSI. Hope this helps.

EHP4 upgrade stucl in MAIN_SHDRUN/ACT_UPG

Hello Dear,
We are in the proces of upgrading from ECC 6 EHP3 to ECC6 EHP4 on Windows 2003 x86_64 bit platform with Oracle 10.2.0.4
Currently the Upgrade is in MAIN_SHDRUN/ACT_UPG for more than 18+ hours. Our DB size is 175G
I can see that tp.exe process is running and the logs has been recently updated(Gets updated every 20-30 minutes)
Can you please take a look at the log and tell us what's going on with the system.
We have to get it ready in 2 days but we are stuck in this phase.
THis phase failed earlier after running 2 hours so I had changed the value of of
abap/heap_area_dial = 4000000000
abap/heap_area_nondia = 4000000000
I have read other posts but I don't see any short dumps and system messages in my shadow instance.
PLease suggest what should I do.
Should I just go head and stop shadow instance from mmc and modify the the parameters as per note 1387739
please suggest.
Here is last few lines from my log.

Hello,
I wanted to update you with the some current values of memeory parameters in my system:
abap/heap_area_total = 26214400
abap/heap_area_nondia = 4000000000
abap/heap_area_dia = 4000000000

ECC6.0 Upgrade and BW Extractors

Hi Experts,
We are doing a Source system upgrade from 4.6c to ECC6.0 just a Technical upgrade. Can you please let me know if we need to delete all the delta queues and re-initialize delta.
Following are the 4.6c Pre- Export Activities in relation BW.
1. Lock the users
2. Clear the entire delta queues in RSA7 (till we achieve - 0 records in BW) and make sure no outbound queues are empty in SMQ1
3. Delete Set -up table data.
4. Reshedule V3 Jobs
5. ReSchedule - BW process chains
After upgrading to ECC6.0
1. SM59 connections with new system.
2. Restore Source System connections in RSA1
3. Replicate DS and Activate Transfer Structure. (In relation to BW: we have done the technical upgrade from 3.x to BI7.0 (but the datasoucre and data flow are still 3.x).
After all Post processing of ECC6.0 Upgrade activities, the source system is only available to users for posting the transaction.
Please let me know if we need to delete all the delta queues and re - initialize delta.
1.We are not installing any new business content extractors from ECC6.0 - Just using same 4.6c extractors and structures.
2.And consider that no users post any transaction after clearing the delta queues in RSA7.
Appreciate your feedback,

Hello Subbu,
There is no need to reinitialize the extractors, the steps you mentioned in your original post are enough, the reason
for these steps is to make sure that there is no data left in sm13, lbwq, ras7, setup tables etc, you need to run the related infopackages twice on the BW side to clear the BW repeat part of the queue in RSA7, if you have a doubt that this was
not done you can goto rsa7, select the queue and on the next screen you can check if there is any data available in the
delta repeat part of the queue.
The reason for the step is that that the upgrade could potentially change an extract structure for a datasource and then if you
have data in the old format it may not be possible to upload it in the old format.
I repeat though there is NO need to delete the current entries in RSA7 and reinitialize.

Des

Best approach for multi-team/multi-projects.

Hi,
I'm looking for the best approach to handle multi-teams/multi-projects scenario. We have 20 development groups and over 300 products. Each products on it's own Schedule.
Product X can be assign to Group A, but at some point, it can be assign to Group B.
We are currently using TFS 2012, but will be upgrading to 2013 soon.
Based on many reading, we are thinking to create only one Team Projects to ease management.
In it, we will create a team for each development group, but we will not create an associated area path with the name of the team.
- Group A
- Group B
- Group C
Than, we will create an Area for each product.
- Product X
- Product Y
- Product Z
and, we will create multi-level of iterations to match each Schedule.
- Product X
   - Release 1
      - Sprint 1
      - Sprint 2
- Product Y
    - Release 1
       -Sprint 1
    - Release 2
       -Sprint 1
The main issue, we have with this approach is that we can't use the Backlog or the Task Board effectivelly, as there is no way to filter per areas and iterations.
Reading "How do I change the underlying query for the task board (and backlog board) on TFS Preview", this doen't seam to be possible in TFS 2012.
In TFS 2013, "The Agile Portfolio Management: Using TFS to support backlogs across multiple teams" was introduced. Will this help to solve the problem?
We would create a management team for each development group.
We would create an agile team with an associated area for each product.
The only thing that I couldn't find in the documentation is how to re-assign an agile team to another management team. Is this possible?
Also can each agile team have their specific itérations, if so will it roll up properly to the management team?
Regards
SYSOTI
PS: Sorry couldn't post the links of the quoted text as I get the message: Body text cannot contain images or links until we are able to verify your account. ;-(

Hi SYSOTI,
Based on your description, seems the area path is not configured properly hence you can't use the Backlog or the Task Board effectivelly.
From the
Agile Portfolio Management: Using TFS to support backlogs across multiple teams, the area path is set as agile team which is a consist of team members but not a product name. For you scenario, you can set the area path name as your product name to
identify the associate products for work items. And the groups you mentioned for products in the team projects are sub-group of contributors.
Seems there is no need to create a management team for each development group since management team might be in a higher level to view the progress for all of the work across the agile teams. Certianly, you can create multiple management teams, but the management
teams will be able to view works for all agile teams.
If you have multiple teams and products, you can create a team project for each product if the products don't have much relationship. However, it's OK to manage the projects for multiple products in the same team project. And working within a single team
project also have benifits, you ccan check this
blog for more information.

What is the best approach to converting LV7.1 tags to LV2012 shared variables in multiple VIs?

What is the best approach to upgrading from LV7.1/DSC tags to LV2012/DSC shared variables, in multiple VIs running on multiple platforms? Our system is composed of about 5 PCs running Windows 2000/LV7.1 Runtime, plus a PLC, and a main controller running XP/SP3/LV2012. About 3 of the PCs publish sensor information via tags across the LAN to the main controller. Only the main controller is currently being upgraded. Rudimentary questions:
1. Will the other PCs running the 7.1 RTE (with tags) be able to communicate with the main controller running 2012 (shared variables)?
2. Is it necessary to convert from tags to shared variables, or will the deprecated legacy tag VIs from LV7.1 work in LV2012?
3. Will all the main controller VIs need to be incorporated into a project in order to use shared variables?
4. Is the only way to do this is to find all tag items and replace them with shared variable items?
Thanks in advance with any information and advice!
lb
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi lb,
We're glad to hear you're upgrading, but because there was a fundamental change in architecture since version 7.1, there will likely be some portions that require a rewrite.
The RTE needs to match the version of DSC your using. Also, the tag architecture used in 7.1 is not compatible with the shared variable approach used in 2012. Please see the KnowledgeBase article Do I Need to Upgrade My DSC Runtime Version After Upgrading the LabVIEW DSC Module?
You will also need to convert from tags to shared variables. The change from tags to shared variables took place in the transition to LabVIEW 8. The KnowledgeBase Migrating from LabVIEW DSC 7.1 to 8.0 gives the process for changing from tags to shared variables.
Hope this gets you headed in the right direction. Let us know if you have more questions.
Thanks,

Best approach to migrate from 9.2.0.1 to 9.2.0.6

Hi friends.
Actually I have a production database running on Oracle 9.2.0.1 in Suse Linux. I bought a new server and I have to migrate my database from the old one. In this new server I´ll have Oracle 9.2.0.6 and RedHat. What is the best approach to make the migration?
- By export/import? Will I have problems wiht users/grants/synonyms, etc, since I wont be able to use full import cause the system users?
- Update de 9.2.0.1 to 9.2.0.6 and to copy the database to new server?
- Copy the database to new server and update only the database to 9.2.0.6 by scripts?
- Anything else??? :)
Thx in advance.

I'm not sure what you mean by " I wont be able to use full import cause the system users". I can't seem to understand what you're trying to say here.
If you have a relatively small database, exporting and importing is probably the simplest option. You can also restore a backup from the old machine to the new machine and upgrade the new machine in place, use transportable tablespaces, patch the old database and set up the new system as a standby database, etc. There are plenty of options, we'd need more information about how much data we're talking about, what sort of down time window you have, whether you're concerned about speed, administrative complexity, etc.

EHP4 upgrade from ECC 6.0

Hi experts,
We are planning to upgrade to EHP4 from ECC6.0
We have the following systems installed on non-unicode,
SAP ECC 6.0
SAP NETWEAVER 7.0
SAP SRM 3.0
Currently, we have customized ESS java webdynpro on our ESS portal, with the EHP4 upgrade and EHP1 on SAP Netweaver 7.0, would there be any implications to the customized ESS iviews ?
Our ECC 6.0 is on a non-unicode system, is it advisable to take this opportunity to convert to a unicode for scalability aspect ?
what would be the implications if we remains as non-unicode after EHP4 upgrade ?
All advices are appreciated !!
Thanks in advance
