EHP6 upgrade

Hi All,
I'm just starting a EHP 6 upgrade project. Doing my research by reading all my documents and notes. Creating a post check document and so on,
I came across a statement in the Master Guide SAP EHP 6 for SAP ERP 6.0 for win/sql.
Chapter 2, section 2.5 Technical changes in SAP EHP 6 page 20.
Speaks about tools to use, of course SUM...but it also a the following bullet:
For the release upgrade SAP produced a new ECC Server export comprising AS ABAP 7.31, ECC Server 6.0, and the technical usage Central Applications. Using this export, you can directly create a real EHP6 system by installation or upgrade without including EHP6 parts. Beneath AS ABAP 7.31 it comprises the EHP6 components SAP_APPL 6.06 and EA-APPL 606, as well as SAP_BS_FND 703 and WEBCUIF 731.
WHat does this mean? They have a shell export of EHP6 that I could simply install? And then what? Add my missing components and add my data?
How would I add my data? Where are docs supporting this statement?
Anyone have links, docs, experience with this statement?
I can't find anything!

What amuse me is that, I don't find executable's for starting the shadow instance under . /SUMdirectory/ abap/bin/ directory. startshd and stopshd files are missing.
I used the command sapcontrol -nr 06 -function Start to start my shadow instance and its started, but I am still getting the same error if I continue the phase.
I am doubting if the kernel is having any issue but I am unable to crack it.
Any help would be great.
Regards
Hari

Hello RB,
Thanks a lot.
I was thinking that startshd is just like sapstartsrv..as part of a kernel .
Thanks for your timely help.

Hi All,
We are using Z transaction to update Wbs element data to sales order line item through BAPI_SALESORDER_CHANGE. After EHP6 upgrade while updating Wbs element data to old sales orders(Created before EHP6 upgrade) we are getting You cannot select assembly order < order number> for deletion (V1 748) error in BAPI return table, For multiple Sales order run.
But if we run the same order individually it is getting processed successfully. W e are passing the same values in individual and multiple case.
We debugged the BAPI and found one more error related to Authorization, But BAPI return table is giving different error (V1 748)message. Please help us in finding the issue.

ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0 EHP6 upgrade

Hi All,
We have planned to upgrade ecc 5.0 to ecc 6.0 ehp6 upgrade.
Can we upgrade direct ecc6.0 ehp6 using SUM tool ?
Any one have idea Please let me know.
Regards,
Arun.

Hi Arun,
You cannot Upgrade directly to ehp6 because your operating system & database will not support for ehp6 as per PAM.
your target release ERP EHP6 : OS -win 2008 : Oracle 11 g
find below steps
Phase 1
1. Apply latest patches to win 2003 server.
2. Apply latest oracle patches to your current release
3. Upgrade your SAP from ECC5 to EHP5
Phase 2
1. Upgrade your OS from WIN 2003 To 2008
2. Upgrade Oracle from 10 to 11 ( you can upgrade this first phase also)
3. Upgrade ehp5 to ehp6
Thanks

EHP6 upgrade with PI in the landscape

Hi All,
I realize all documentation say that you must always keep your PI boxes at the highest levels in your landscape.
I know oss note 1043047 and 954820 speak to this.
I'm just became part of a project that over looked this. We are planning a EHP6 upgrade.
This will bring in NW 731 stack right?
Our PI is old at NW 7.11
The SLD on the PI's are to the latest versions.
The project to migrate to PO is coming after ehp6.
Again this was all planned before I came on board.
Any thoughts of what to expect? I still believe it should work fine until we get to the upgrade.
If not, can anyone explain technically why not?

You should under all circumstances perform a test upgrade, on a sandbox system first.
The theory of the upgrade is one thing, the problems of doing it for real are a quiet different matter.
You can see the changes (including what new kernel version will be installed), when reviewing the stack calculation report as done by MOPz (SolMan Maintenance Optimizer).
It will tell you exactly what software component gets replaced with what other version.
Also consider the impact on development, and if you have a multi-system landscape, you gotta plane in which sequence to upgrade what server.
Last not least, consider performance impact and downtime.
I have seen PI systems so (over)utilized that they literally "cooked the hardware" they were running on.
Putting the added strain of performing an upgrade on such a system, might be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
That is why sandbox testing is so essential here.

Ki235 Error When PGI After Ehp6 Upgrade

Hello
What would cause KI235 error when PGI after ehp6 upgrade? We are upgrading to ehp6 and are receiving this error when PGIing delivery. It only does this in the upgraded client and not in non-upgraded client. The automatic account assignments match exactly in both clients and are not missing or incorrect.
Also check OKB9 setting it is perfectly ok.
Please advise,
Thanks,

Hi All,
During EHP6, upgrade apart from SPDD, SPAU & UCCHECK adjustments, obsolete FMs - WS_UPLOAD, UPLOAD, WS_DOWNLOAD & DOWNLOAD should be replaced with the latest one from Z-programs.
What are the other ABAP activities & obsolete FMs that should be taken care for Z-developments in the system during EHP6 upgarde?

Dear Munish,
PF the SS as below. It is asking to do the ASU/Upgrade. .......One more thing From where i can see what will be the minimum SP of ECC 6.0 to Upgrade to Ehp6 ..

IS Retal ECC EHP6 Upgrade Material not Article

Hi
I am busy testing our ECC EHP6 upgrade in an IS Retail System.
I have noticed the system is now referring to Material and no longer Article (MB51, MM41/2/3 even the W10T menu shows material and not article)
My developer has suggested I go to SE93 to change the transaction description from Material to Article.
This does not seem correct
Has anyone experienced this before?
Do you have a solution?
Thanks
Rory

Hi Rory:
You need to apply Retail Text after every upgrade.
Please take note of the following:
SAP Note 897714 - Activating Retail Short Text Replacement
SAP Note 904437 - Some short texts contain std terms instead of retail terms

Backend PO not getting created after EHP6 upgrade

Hi Friends,
Recently there was an SAP patch upgrade in ECC 6.0 and after that while creating the shopping cart the PO is created, but it is not transferring to ECC. We are using the extended classic scenario SAP SRM 7.0. I had checked almost everything right from debugging still clueless. even checked the forums but still the issue is not resolved. Any hints of how to proceed now.
Regards,
Ramesh.

When We are creating shopping cart, system will create Po in back end based on our BAPI.
Check whether BAPI is running properly or not. You are updated new version EHP6 , I hope you should do required configuration. Try in development server whether Po are creating backend or not.
I hope you should check all the configuration in backend system i.e in ECC and SRM side.
Do again batch running and check whether back ground job getting created or not.

Table data getting locked for multiple user for a Z-table updation after EH4 to EHP6 Upgrade

Hi,
We have one new upgraded system at EHP6, earlier system was at EH4 where multiple user can Run one Z T-code and can edit the entries for the Z-table.
This Z-Tcode is calling SM30 internally for updating the Z-Table.
Now in the upgraded system, when one user is into the transation code, and other user runs that T-code, systems throws a POP-UP mesg saying that the data is locked and can be displayed only(can not be edited).
I have debugged the code in both the environment and found that there is one statement Call C_ENQUEUE ID < > field. for which the Sy_Subrc is coming as 2 in the upgraded system which is causing the issue, where as the sy-subrc is 0 in the system at EH4 level.
Can any body tell me why this Z-tcode is not allowing to be accessed by multiple user at same time for Editing(updating the table) .
Regards,
Archana Jha

Hi,
When you create the lock object you can define the keys.
and then you can use those in the ENQUEUE function.

SAP ERP EHP6 Upgrade cancel with no SUM Directory

hi
At last week on wednesday, we started to upgrade ERP EHP5 to EHP6 case. On Friday evening over 7:00PM we started the preprocessing step.
When phase MAIN_SHDIMP/SUBMOD_SHD2_RUN/XPRAS_SHD_AIMMERGE step has being processing, system VM disk has got fulled, And system stopped responding. We checked all the sources, and but couldnt get windows started.
We had to restore system to another host, with Friday evening 08:00PM SQL backup.
Now this is the case, we have a SUM started database with no SUM directory. System is now usable for end-users but in some txcoedes system seems locked due to system upgrade.
When we run se38- RSUPGRES program, it has the error below.
now, how can i cancel the upgrade status without SUM directory?

Hello
TP imports are not possible during that upgrade phase what is why you get the 253 and the error message. There is a dirty trick (playing with table UVERS) that allows to override that security and be able to perform import but I won't recommend using it.
I do not think that RSUPGRES could help without the SUM directory, further more it should not work with SUM (see note 417670).
I'm afraid the only solution is to recover from a backup taken before the upgrade.
I'm a bit afraid about your sentence "system is now usable for end-users", I hope that system is not productive.
Regards
417670 - Addnl information on resetting upgrade as of Release 6.10

Adobe Interactive forms are not editable following an EHP6 upgrade, how do we correct this?

Good day,
We are currently going through an upgrade to EHP6. We have set up a test parallel environment that was copied from prod and applied EHP6 for a compare.
During our initial tests, we have found that Adobe interactive forms are not loading properly following the upgrade. 11 out of the 13 interactive forms currently implemented in the portal are no longer editable. When you go to select a value from the drop-downs or input a value in the field the fields remain blank. This is a high priority as all users perform their PA actions via MSS and through workflow approvals using Abode interactive forms.
Does anyone have any ideas of how to fix this issue or have come across this issue before?
Thanks in advance,
Christine

Hi Christine,
maybe a restart of the ADS-Server helps you out. I can remember a similar case where the restart helped.
IF not, check if you got the latest patch of the ADS, maybe the upgrade of the erp causes this error, because it pass now more data to the ads than before.
IT's just a suggest. Let us know, if that helped you out.
Regards
Florian

SU25 after after EHP4 to EHP6 upgrade

Hi,
We have recently upgraded our development ECC system to ECC 6.0 EHP 6 from EHP4. We found there are lot of roles affected by
the upgrade in step 2c of SU25.All the proposed changes are due to step 2a which updates the objects/transactions which were never modified by the customer.
While we are still analysing the roles in DEV, the production upgrade date is fast approaching.
Is it advisable to upgrade the Production now and perform the SU25 in DEV later and promote the roles to Production after proper testing in QA?
or is it something we have to do immediately after the upgrade before releasing it to the end users?
Thank you in advance,
Silver

Hi Silver Surfer
Is it advisable to upgrade the Production now and perform the SU25 in DEV later and promote the roles to Production after proper testing in QA?
Do you mean - is it okay for EHP6 to be applied to Production and fix the security later? If so....
Your risk is if new authorisations checks have been introduced to existing transactions that are in design then users may start to receive authorisations errors. If you are willing to risk a flood of annoyed users complaining of lack of access it is technically possible.
Though, if you are moving from EHP4 to EHP6 was security testing along with functionality testing? If so, you may have covered a large portion of the risk.
As far as SU25 goes, it is to assist with fixing up SU24 values based on SAP proposals. Once you need to make changes to SU24 you need to adjust the roles (As per you Step 2c). I've been at places where they made the decision to execute Steps 2a and 2b and then go into PFCG for each impacted role and deactivate the new proposals (i.e. SU24 updated but PFCG remains unchanged from authorisation perspective). This approach enabled them to "technically" complete the security steps and move a transport through to test environment. However, they were relying on security testing of the roles to identify authorisations issues. If issue was identified, they would then fix the role.
Whatever your approach with SU25 is.... security roles need to be tested as part of an upgrade.

Colleen
