Embedded BI - System Upgrade, Support Package application and so on

Since Netweaver '04, SAP R/3 and SAP BW/SEM were separated system.
Now, with Netweaver 2004s and the "embedded BI", they are unified on the same installation.
1)The upgrade operations for R/3 and BW are separated or in the same package?
So, support package installation is cumulative?
2)When R/3 is down for upgrade/support pack---> BW is Down?
When BW is down for upgrade/support pack---> R/3 is Down?
3) System crash is cumulative?
Points for every useful answer,
Thank you, Claudio

The whole scenario depends upon if you are using embedded BI or a stand alone BI.
1)The upgrade operations for R/3 and BW are separated or in the same package?
So, support package installation is cumulative?
In either case upgrade operations are separated
2)When R/3 is down for upgrade/support pack---> BW is Down?
When BW is down for upgrade/support pack---> R/3 is Down?
embedded BI -  Yes as being on the same instance
stand alone – No, upgrade is independent on a technical/application standpoint
3) System crash is cumulative?
embedded BI - Yes
stand alone – NO

  • Transports between systems after support package application

    Hi gurus, we need to apply a lot of support packages into the development system and I wanna know if in the meantime we need to "freeze" all transports between systems.
    This because the systems (DEV - QA - PRD) are in differente support package level. This until we apply the support packages into the others systems
    Thanks in advance.
    Ronald.

    Yes, any transport which is taking SAP standard code from DEV to QA to PRD should not move if the systems in landscape are on different support pack level. Because it can happen that SAP has done some modification to that standard code in new support pack.
    However, anything which is isolated Z-development (like some z-output report or smartforms) can proceed.
    But, I suggest , stop moving transports until all systems have same support pack level.

  • Undoing changes made by support package application

    Hi
    Is there a way to undo changes made to repository objects and dictionay objects after you have imported a support package.
    Let us consider this with an example. Let us assume that there is a standard SAP report called S1 v1. Which after a support package application and after confirming the queue it becomes S1 v2. Now if for some reason after say 2-3 days we are not comfortable with S1 v2 and want S1 v1 again can we get back the old standard SAP report. If so then how?
    Also if there is a change made in a Dictionary object, is there a way to revert these changes on a similar line? Id so then how.
    Thanks
    Rohan

    Hi Lokesh,
    If you have maintained versions for perticular report then you can revert it back to the previous version.
    Ask your ABAPer for the same.
    You can always retrieve the previous version if you have maintained the version.
    It is applicable for the dictionary objects too, but you may loose data in case of changing version for database tables.

  • ???? in Menu Bar after upgrading support packages

    Hi All,
    I have upgraded the support packages from Stack 16 to Stack 20 for my ECC 5.0
    Every functionality is fine after the upgrade. But when our consultant tries to check the material in transaction MB52, in the next screen we see some ?????? in the menu items which is supposed to have some options in letters. The functionality is fine when we click on it knowing the option which is supposed to be there.
    Assuming that it is the issue with the GUI, we have upgraded our GUI to 710 patch level 4 which is the latest available. Still no luck.
    Can anyone help me with this. This is holding our upgrade on quality.
    Points will be rewarded.
    Thanks
    Vijay

    Hi All,
    I resolved this myself. We just need to get to the screen shere the ???? show up and go to SYSTEM >> STATUS
    Under SAP Data, double click on GUI Status > STANDARD
    Select the Application Toolbar and click on Activate.
    This should solve the issue.
    Thanks

  • Upgrade Support Package for one Software Component

    Dear Experts,
    I am new with SAP Basis Administrator and I have new task to upgrade EA-HR software component from release 600 sp30 to release 602 sp9.
    Actually, EA-HR component in Development system already in release 602 sp9 while quality and production in release 600 sp30. This is where the problem started, since there is one SAP Note we need to apply that depends on the release version. The consultant wants to do the changes in development and transport it to quality then production. Since the way to apply SAP Note is vary based on EA-HR release version, the consultant wants the release version of EA-HR in all systems to be the same.
    I have download support package for EA-HR 602 sp9.
    My question is very basis, how to upgrade EA-HR component to release 602 sp9?
    Regards
    Rian Wisandanu

    EA-HR component in Development system already in release 602 sp9 while quality and production in release 600 sp30
    This is a no go... This is why most people call for a development freeze while the system is been patched.
    the consultant wants to do the changes in development and transport it to quality then production. Since the way to apply SAP Note is vary based on EA-HR release version, the consultant wants the release version of EA-HR in all systems to be the same
    You system is not consistent, transporting data into a system with a different patch set can cause serious problems. You are going to have to tell your consultant that he'll have to wait until the whole landscape is patched to the same level.
    Who upgraded the component in DEV??
    The note also states that this corrections are available for 600 so there was no need for 602 if you are not planning a EHP upgrade..
    EA-HRRXX   600  SAPK-60050INEAHRXX
    Maybe you can give us some more info about what are you planning to do with your system patch wise?

  • Upgrading Support Packages

    How can I upgrade the support package of MDM 7.1?

    It also depends which support pack you are upgrading with.
    say
    From MDM 7.1 SP06 and up, multiple instances of MDM are supported on the same MDM host machine.
    Each instance must be installed separately and requires a different SID and different listening ports.
    From MDM 7.1 SP07 and up, MDM can be installed with SSL. This is configured using one of the following
    modes: Unencrypted, SSL or Both. The installation type is configurable in the MDM server ini files.
    In the Projects preparation phase you must:
    1. Adapt all custom applications that use ABAP API, Java API, or CLIX. These programs can be adapted in
        advance.
    2. Update and test import and syndication maps. This has to be done in the Dev/Test environment.
    3. Delete all pre-7.1 ports and maps from the Productive environment. This must be done before any
    schema imports are allowed in the 7.1 Productive environment

  • Translation Worklist and Support Package application

    Can anyone explain me what'll happen with a published Translation Worklist when I apply a SP? Will it lose the translated texts?
       Do the worklist keep the translated texts or they are loaded from the objects every time? If the second is the right, they'll be lost when I rewrite the objects, correct?
       Thanks for any help.

    Hi Denis,
    > Where the translated texts are stored? They are stored only until we publish the
    > translation and then if we re-activate the worklist they are reloaded from the
    > objects?
    That's exactly what I would think for different reasons, but it's not that hard just to test it, isn't it?!

  • My computer no longer supports PC applications and so I cannot open all the documents I have made with Microsoft Word.  What is the best way to deal with this?

         I have tried to use "Pages" and find it difficult.  However, I have not taken the time to go through the tutorials.  I'm used to Word and don't really want to take the time to learn another word processing program unless it is superior to Word.  Should I download Microsoft Word or should I learn how to use "Pages".  (To learn "Pages" will take me twice as long as it will take someone under 50).  What say you?

    Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
    You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

  • SAP BW 3.5 - Upgrade support package from 18 to 21

    Hi All,
    We are planning to apply the SP 21 for SAP BW 3.5 system.
    Currently we are on SP 18.
    We had created a Customer message to SAP regarding the Pre-Preparatory Steps before applying  and Post upgrade steps . But the reply we got is  quite confusing.
    In one of the steps they had asked us to delete the Delta queue and delete the Set up tables. But looks like they have got confused with the SAP R/3 Upgrade.
    Previously, when we upgraded from SAP BW 3.1 to 3.5 we never touched anything concerned with the Source systems ( SAP R/3).
    Could anyone guide me regarding this issue. Also it would be great help if anyone give the Pre-Preparatory Steps before applying  and Post upgrade steps.
    Regards,
    Satish

    Hi,
    Just go apply for from SP18 to SP21 directly. Before applying for this better check with BW consultants and also check with ABAPers team.

  • Upgrade Support  Package Manager Version 7.00/0026

    We are trying to update the SPAM from version 26 to 29 to accommodate the requirement of EHP4 upgrade.
    When we try to update the SPAM it just display's a message "SPAM/SAINT update SAPKD70026 has already been imported successfully"
    We did down load the latest spam from the service.sap.com and we tried to upload it from Application server as well as front-end desktop. We did not get any error. But the SPAM update just display this message and doe's noting.
    Thanks
    Osama

    It says SAPKD70026 is already there in effect and you current version is already 26, did you download and extract the latest version 29 as you are saying ?
    instead download and extract the latest version 33 or 35
    SAPKD70035 SPAM/SAINT Update - Version 700/0035 
    SAPKD70033 SPAM/SAINT Update - Version 700/0033 
    and I hope, you are trying to download as per correct release i.e. 7.00 spam/saint update 700 and that too ABAP version
    check the following link, and go to the marketplace link mentioned in the same page, and then click on download SPAM/SAINT update, you can also see the SPAM/SAINT update tutorial on the same page on marketplace
    and be noted that you are logged in the client 000 with a user copy of ddic or with user having sap_all and sap_new authorizations

  • Support Package and Delta/Extractor functionality

    Hello Experts,
    We have been testing the New GL Totals Delta and Extractor functionalities. Previously when Support Packege 13 was installed, the Delta was bringing incorrect results.
    Now we are using Support Pack 15. Now if i post documents in ecc and upload to bi, the Delta is working properly and values match in ecc and bi.
    Could you please suggest if there have been any changes or upgradations in the New GL Totals Delta/Extractor functionality between Support Packages 13 and 15.
    Thanks and Regards,
    Labanya.

    Hi,
    Its always better to drain the delta queues before an upgrade.
    As a standard practice we drain the delta queues by running the IP/ chain multiple times.
    As a prerequiste we cancel/reschedule the V3 jobs to a future date during this activity.
    The V3 extraction delta queues must be emptied prior to the upgrade to avoid any possible data loss.
    V3 collector jobs should be suspended for the duration of the upgrade.
    They can be rescheduled after re-activation of the source systems upon completion of the upgrade.
    See SAP Notes 506694 and 658992 for more details.
    Page 17
    Load and Empty all Data mart Delta Queues in SAP BW. (e.g. for all export DataSources)
    The SAP BW Service SAPI, which is used for internal and ‘BW to BW’ data mart extraction, is
    upgraded during the SAP BW upgrade. Therefore, the delta queues must be emptied prior to the
    upgrade to avoid any possibility of data loss.
