ESS Business Packages Migration from Ehp3 to Ehp4 with Custom Changes

Hello All,
We are using ECC 6.0 With Ehp3 and We have the following versions of ESS and MSS Business Packages Installed.
SAP_ESS 603 SP4
SAP_MSS 600 SP15
We have NWDI server also installed in this and made some Customizations in ESS Webdynpro Java based applications.
We have freshly installed  a new portal development server with Netweaver 7.0 Ehp1 to cleanup unneccessary stuffs in our existing development portal server and pointed to the upgraded backend ECC 6.0 Ehp4.
The NWDI also installed freshly in the new server.
While upgrading,  following Business Packages versions are recommended by SAP.
SAP_ESS 603 SP6
MSS 600 SP17
PCUI_GP 603 Sp 06
Now in the New portal server every applications works fine as delivered Out of the box and we are missing all the Webdynpro Java customizations which we have made as part of the Ehp3 based ESS Implementation.   
We are in the process of Creating the New track in the New NW 7.0 Ehp1 server and import the .SCA files.
My Question is how can we get the automatic migration process, so that the Webdynpro Java Customizations which we have done in the Previous track in Ehp3 with different ESS SP level can be carry forwarded to our New NWDI Server.
How can we go ahead?. We are thinking of the following options and your suggestions are highly appreciated.
1. Import the .SCA files related to Ehp4 and do the Webdynpro Java changes manually again in the DCs of Newly created  track    in the New NWDI server.
2. Is there a way to migrate a Track from One Server to another NWDI server with the Custom changes carry forwarded.
What are all the possible ways to achieve track migration to the new server with custom changes carry forwarded.   
Appreciate your valuable inputs in this.
Thanks and Regards,
Sekar

Hi Sekar,
There is a cook book provided by SAP as attachment of note 872892. you can follow the process to have your custom DC's migrated to new Support pack of ESS/MSS.

    I have installed the NWDI and trying my first step to customize the standard ESS business package. We are on ESS business package 13.
    The following are the list of step that i have done. Can anyone tell me which step i make mistakes?
    Step
    1) Create a new track and assign the SAP_ESS release 100 to the track
    2) Copy the 3 files SAPBUILDT13_0.SCA,  SAPJEE13_0.SCA, SAPJTECHS13_0.SCA into E:\usr\sap\JTrans\CMS\inbox.
    3) "Check IN" the 3 files and check in. Then "check import" and import the files.
    4) Copy the SAPPCUIGP09_0-20001215.SCA and SAPPCUIGP09P_1-20001215.SCA into E:\usr\sap\JTrans\CMS\inbox.
    5) "Check IN" both file and "check import" for the pcuigp sca files.
    6) Import both of the file which is the original file and patch.      **(Do i need to import the patch file as well? I did not manage to import the patch file and the status shows outdated )
    7) Copy the SAPESS09_0-20000512.SCA and SAPESS09P_3-20000512.SCA into E:\usr\sap\JTrans\CMS\inbox
    8) "Check IN" the 2 files and check in. Then "check import" and import the files.
    10) Import the 2 files.*(the system show import fail and i hav to repeat all over again by creating a new track)
    When i try it for the second time, i am getting the import fail error again and below are parts from the files.
    target="_blank">39d5b802352211dcb4890030057116fe</a> exists allready in the repository. No import necessary.

    Anyone know which step that i perfrom incorrectly and how to solve the waiting for another period of 30000ms?
    Thanks
    Regards,
    Bryan

    Hi Bryan,
    Open the CBS Web UI and navigate to the buildspace you are working on.
    a. Choose Edit and select Input Mode = OPEN.
    b. Save the new state.
    c. Try import again.
    Reward points if this solves your problem.

  • Problems with user mapping to download ESS Business Package for EP 6.0

    Hi,
    I am trying to download ESS Business Package for EP 6.0 but facing problems inspite of reading the SAP document on downloading Business Package. Here is my problem:
    I start to download the package and to map the user ids. I am mapping the SDN user id to a SAP Service Marketplace user id as mentioned in the SDN website. But the download option is not working and gave an error when I clicked on the 'Download' link after user mapping.
    It would help me a lot if anyone else who tried to download BPs after user mapping gave their feedback.
    Can someone please clarify about the user ids and describe how can I download the ESS Business Package?
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi,
    from the description you provide I can't tell what the problem might be, so to determine the cause we need more information on this. Screenshots of the error message would be ideal.
    In general, the following needs to be done:
    - you need to be signed in  at SDN with your Service Marektplace s user id
    - the user mapping for the data source 'Service Marketplace' needs to be maintained
    Please send the error information to: [email protected]
    and we will try to solve it.
    Thanks, Anke

  • ESS Business Package for ERP 6.0 is a ABAP or JAVA Web Dynpro

    Hi,
    We are trying to implement ERP 6.0 and ESS with the Portal.
    Is the ESS business package a ABAP or JAVA Web Dynpro????
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Mike

    Hi Mike,
    ESS BP is a portal content (runs only on portal runtime) which can only be deployed and run on SAP J2EE server (So it is java based).
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005/helpdata/en/f6/263359f8c14ef98384ae7a2becd156/frameset.htm
    From EHP2 for ECC 6.0, you have an option choose ABAP WebDynpro for Travel related services. However, the portal content (iViews) is still on SAP J2EE server.
    Thanks

  • General experiences from ehp3 to ehp4

    We are considering the move from ehp3 to ehp4 pending some input and consent from our business units.
    Our issue is that applying ehp3 was very "painful".  It took a long time and was technically very challenging.  We have since had turnover in our SAP system administration team and have a very thin team both in numbers and experience.
    Consequently, we were wondering in general terms what we might expect based on others experience.  Both in terms of time to prepare and implement.
    We have been doing some preliminary investigation into this issue and are aware of then necessity to completely understand the EHP installer and Solution manager integration, but are also interested in any other practical "lessons learned".
    We have read many "official" claims of reduced effort and downtime, but have also heard of actual implentations that aren't exactly in line with these expectations.
    So again, any general review would be a great help!
    thanks,
    Jeff Henke
    We-Energies

    Hello,
    We also had a lot of problems with EHP3, especially with very long elapse times to implement all the patches via SPAM/SAINT.
    EHP4 however went very smoothly, EHP4 uses the EHP installer which limits the downtime significantly (downtime only 5 hours in our case).
    What I always recommend is the following link :
    http://service.sap.com/erp-ehp
    Especially the document "Must Know", explains very well the lifecycle of the EHP installation, from preparation phase to implementation phase.
    The document also contains very interesting SAP Notes and also explains how the Solution Manager MOPZ should be used and configured.
    Preparation is the key factor in a successfull EHP implementation, this document is a good starting point.
    Success !

    Hi ,
    ESS files to be deployed do not generally have the sampe SP level as that of Portal.
    So if for portal if you have SP12
    You might need to deploy ESS SP10 files and not ESS SP12 files.
    The note mentioned by Rajendra explains the same clearly

  • How to customize ESS Business package files in Web Dynpro

    Hi
    Does anyone know how we can customize the ESS Business Package using web dynpro. I tried opening one of its application but since it doesn't carry any .project file, it cannot be opened in the NWDS for customization.
    Also, if there is any document available describing the method to be used for this, can you please pass the link for that or mail at [email protected]
    Thanks & regards,

    Hi Jithendra,
    The note number has been mentioned in the post. Please try accessing that note. Also for information related to NWDI access the home page for NWDI.
    I would suggest that you search the forum first and try to find similar threads with similar queries. That will really speed up your process also.
    If the SDN search is not to your liking you can also use the google search. That is powerful and you get the exact thing you are looking for instantly.

  • Impact on changing ECC client on the working of ESS business package in EP

    Dear Experts,
    We had ESS business package working fine in our EP 7.0 which connected to client 100 of ECC 6.0.
    Now we changed to client 700 in ECC 6.0.
    Now all is working OK except for the Personal Data piece (address,bank etc).
    The first screen shows up OK but when we review it we get the error :
    Access via NULL object reference not possible.,error Key:RFC_ERROR_SYSTEM_FAILURE
    The user is setup the same way as that in ECC 100.
    The JCO is working correctly.Get successful message when we click "TEST".
    I have used USER/PWD in both meta data and application data (though it is said to use Ticket and User/Pwd.  It worked with ECC Client 100.)
    Appreciate any inputs
    Thanks.

  • Business Rules Migration from one server to other server

    Hi All,
    Can some body help on business rules migration from one server to other server? and also wt is the difference there in Export and import BR's and Administration repository to migrate.........i fail to understand if we export and import br's and need to change in xml target server and after import whether all users can able to see this imported BR's ?
    then wt is the use of Administration option under Business Rules-->right click-->repository...connect--->need to connect oracle info....wt is this process? can some body help on this please........
    thanks,
    huser

    Hi,
    The methods are pretty much the same in what they do.
    When you export rules it creates an xml file based on the selection you have picked, you can just log into EAS and do this you don't have knowledge about the repository, it is also useful for migrating across versions. You also have the option of changing the xml file before importing it into your target.
    When you migrate the respository you have to physically connect to the database repository and have knowledge of the connection details, it is probably aimed directly at a system admin.
    The options in both methods are pretty much the same, you can choose what you want to export or migrate.
    You hit issues when you export/migrate for instance the location names change and need to be updated, you can update the xml file to change the locations though if you choose the migrate option you won't have that ability.
    The next issue is the user/group accounts which is the biggest flaw, if the users/groups exist on the target and have the exact same SID then they will migrate otherwise they will usually get dropped.
    Cheers
