Functional upgrade 5.0 to CRM 2007/7.0 .

Could any one tell me what are the minimum customizations/configs needs to be done in CRM 2007/7.0 during upgrade from CRM 5.0 . Becoz some of the functionalities like UI migration can not be done automatically hence Web Client UI need to be configured manually ,also as there is lot of difference between CRM 2007/7.0 and lot of new functionalites are added in the new version It might require huge amout of functional enhancement efforts are required during of updgrade to CRM 7.0/2007 .
Could any one tell me what are the mandatory functional migration activties required during upgrade to CRM 7.0 also what are the different customizations/configs required in order to availa better use of the newly introduced functionalities in the latest release .
Regards,
Rahul

Rahul,
The functional differences between CRM 50 and CRM 2007 have been discussed in this forum several times, please do a search. In addition the information you are seeking is covered in the release notes for CRM 7.0 which are located here:
https://service.sap.com/~sapdownload/011000358700001910282008E/RN_CRM_70_01_EN.pdf
Or under
http://service.sap.com/releasenotes
SAP Solutions->SAP CRM-> Release Notes SAP CRM 7.0.
It is a several hundred page document with all the details you need.
If you have a more specific question please post it after doing a search here. I'm going to lock this thread due to the vague nature of your question.
Thank you,

Upgrade to CRM 2007

Hi All,

If you atleast give me the links where I can find the info, that is also fine.
I need to prepare a document involving the steps and mandatory information to be noted while doing the upgrade.
Thanks in advance.

CRM 2007 MDF Scenario

Hi Gurus,
We are looking for any performance upgrade notes/ helps on CRM 2007 for MDF Scenarios.
Can you please tell me the same.
Prompt response required at the earliest
Thanks & Regards,
Mukund

To find the BAPI, there is no easy way. Either you know it from some documentation, or you try to find it yourself based on its name (i often use wildcards to see what is available and then test the function module to see if it is the one i need or not). The other option is debugging
For the 2nd possibility, try reading the documentation available there:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm60/helpdata/en/fb/6745717b59421e9fe15b07995dca30/frameset.htm
It should help you understanding the concepts.
Good luck,

CRM 4.0 alerts in CRM 2007

We had configured a number of alerts in CRM 4.0. We have recently upgrade our system to CRM 2007 and these alerts no longer work in the CRM 2007 web IC. is there a conversion process or do these need to be recreated from scratch? Any documentation on this topic?
I look forward to your response on this issue.
Regards
Eddie

Hello Eddie,
Yes, in general alerts, interactive scripts, navlinks, and other items need to be recreated in when moving from CRM 2005 (or lower) to CRM 2006s/CRM 2007 or higher. In the case of the alerts, the old XML based alerts (used in CRM 4.0) and the newer IMG configuration based alerts (CRM 5.0) are both replaced by a new BSP-based tool called the Alert Editor -- which is available in the IC Manager busines role. The new alerts use the new target ID navigation concept, which is part of the reason the old alerts don't work anymore (for alerts which contain navigation links).
Warm regards,
John

CRM 2007 upgrade roadmaps

Hello there,
We are planning to upgrade from CRM 4.0 SP7 (on WAS 6.20) to CRM 2007 later in the year. Before this, it is desired to start using the CRM Web Shop (E-Commerce with CRM), which is not in use yet.
What's the popular opinion on here: upgrade CRM first and then tackle the Online Store - or is there any reason not to implement the Online Store first, ie before upgrading. In other words, how easy is it to migrate a CRM 4.0 Online Store to a CRM 2007 Online Store later on ?
Also, is there any material available regarding upgrade roadmaps? I don't mean release documentation, but a guide that picks you up on your current CRM/ERP release / Netweaver platform and then tells you which options you have for upgrading.
Kind regards,
Michael Koch

Especially with new functionality and screen (HTML) design usually done it will make it easier to upgrade first. Also with the introduction of NWDI for change management for java and developer studio etc that makes developing ISA easier.

Thanks for your helpful answer, Andrew.
I think the web shop scenario we're after would be B2B - any infos on changes and implications for this?
Also, what do you mean by "direct technical upgrade"? I know that minimum requirement for CRM 2007 is NW 2004s (7.0), is that what you mean?

CRM 2007 Upgrade - Std Comm. Method not visible in "More Fields"

Hi Gurus
We recently upgraded from CRM 5.0 to CRM 2007.
I'm verifying the Identify Account views, when I compare the "More Fields" view between CRM 5.0 and CRM 2007, the "Std Comm. Method field is not there.
I though I could add this via configuration mode but the only Comm Method field I can find does not have a drop down list associated with it which doesn't make sense.
Has anyone else had this same issue and how resolved.
Many Thanks
Panduranga

The Comm Type field is supplied but without a drop down list as it did in CRM 5.0
We have to modify the field to include the drop down.
A loss in Standard Functionality!!!

Upgrade from CRM 5.0 to CRM 2007

Hi,
We are planning to update from CRM 5.0 to CRM 2007. We are using CRM for Leads, Opportunities and Account & Contact Management with PCUI as front end. We do have some customized iViews for Sales People and Customers. Can any one, please provide me the step-by-step process to do technical and functional upgrade or point me towards the documentation on the same
You will rewarded with the points. Thanks in advance. Please, Its URGENT...
Cheers,
Amit

Amit,
Based on your reply your work looks like the following:
1. Basis teams performs tech upgrade of your dev system
2. Security team grants temporary expanded access in dev system to access new UI and new UI tools
3. Dev/Config team takes standard delivered new UI screens and adjusts screen layouts
4. Dev/Config team adjusts any BADI's built in the previous release
The data model of CRM has not changed. If you stuck with the EEWB and used all the standard methods of enhancing the data model, you don't need to worry about data migration. However if you did not play by the SAP standards you could have more work.
As far as tracking your project you can use solution manager or build simple project tracking in MS project.
If you did no coding period, and only configuration. You should be able to complete all the configuration work in less than two weeks to get the screens as needed. However that is based on having at least one to two weeks of learning the new UI tool.
I would guess a config-only CRM implementation would only need two-three to finish all reconcilation work not including testing and training.
Take care,
Stephen

Upgrade from CRM 4.0 sp6 to CRM 2007

We are in the process of upgrading our sandpit from CRM 4.0 sp 6 to CRM 2007 as part of an overall CRM upgrade project. The technical upgrade phase went fine we now have the sandpit running some of the standard delieved business roles etc. My question is with respect to my original customizing:
- what customizing/configuration needs to be redone
- what needs to be adjusted.
- what is no longer relevant
Is there any documentation out there that deals with addressing this topic. Can anyone share their experiences.
We have a number of different Web based interaction centers some dealing with order taking in place in our original installation.
Thanks in advance
Eddie

Eddie,
The rule of thumb is the following:
- All UI based modifications/configurations/enhancements done in the lower release, must be redone in the new release. Classic example is you removed fields from a screen or added new fields. You also lose all your UI work done in CRM 40.
- All non-UI based config/development that is in the business layer of the system should be fine, and may need some minor adjustments, but you should be able to keep this. You probably though will have to redo some of your IC config as there were functional changes between releases. I don't think however you will find that the configuration adjustments to take a lot of time
- The old PCUI/IC webclient and SAP GUI applications(for data entry) are no longer relevant.
Take care,
Stephen

Collision Detection during Upgrade from CRM 4.0 to CRM 2007

We are in the process of doing an upgrade from CRM 4.0 to CRM 2007. As part of this upgrade we are following the steps detailed in the mobile upgrade guide. we are currently working on the collision
resolution issues in the mobile area. The latest issue on the UI layer is caused by changes on tiles like docactdocu2 or capsearch2 that were reverted to standard SAP.
When solving the collisions we have been working on sub objects to these tiles. When changes to theses sub objects were finished not only the collision for the sub object was solved but no collision on the parent object was shown. But the result was that the parent objects have returned to SAP standard on vital objects like custom anchors and/or custom controllers are missing on these tiles resulting in build errors. You can easily see what happened in the version tree of these objects as no merge between the changed branch and the SAP branch took place.
Returning to the tiles version from the changed branch is not possible though this function is offered in the version tree.
Why is the collision resolution functionality not working as we would expect. Why can we not chsange the tile version to the changed branch.
Has anyone else experienced these issues
Regards
Eddie

Hi Shankar
We resolved collisions on script level like "docactdocu2onLoad" by merging or accepting the change list (SAP) version. With the collision on script level being resolved the tile the script belongs to (in this case "docactdocu2") also vanished from the collision list. The result was that the tile was reverted to the SAP version.
With the change list being released we cannot go back to the custom version of the tile except by using the version tree. But the option "Copy to Open Version" offered by a right click on the version node wanted does not work.
Any ideas
Regards
Eddie

Functionality of CRM_WFM_SIS_BP in CRM 2007

Hello All,
I have migrated my CRM 4.0 code to CRM 2007. In one of the function modules I am making call to CRM_WFM_SIS_BP_ORGS which belongs to function group CRM_WFM_SIS_BP...
Now this Function Group doesn't exist in CRM 2007. So is there any other function group which is providing similar functionality as this one??
If I want to copy these Standard Function Modules from old system to new as Z-Function modules, then will it be correct approach??
Please suggest the way out. Helpful answers will be greatly rewarded.
Awaiting for replies.
Regards,
Amey

Hello Amey,
I wouldn't copy the function modules to CRM 2007 because most probably underlying code doesn't work anymore as well.
However, I would look for functionality in the system doing the same thing. For example, it looks like the function module you mentioned is retrieving some organizational structure.
A search in SE37 with CRMORG and CRMGETORG* returned a bunch of promising function modules.
Best Regards,
Yevgen

BP merge functionality in CRM 2007 Web UI - Buswu02 objects

hello champs,
Could any help me out to resolve the below issue:
I have a issue with BP Account merge functionality in crm 2007, I have made the config change to create the cleansing case, create task, triggered the bupa_realign to merge the duplicate customer to Master record.
In this case, Task is created and transferring the BP master data and marked the duplicate BP to to be archived but the issue is, we do want to transfer the service tickets from duplicate customer to master customer.
I have also check all the setting in buswu01 and buswu02 (clear and clear_rep variants), for me its looks every thing fine but service ticket are not transferred to master account.
It would be great help if any one help to resolve the issue! Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards
Praveen

This question has been resolved by me only, we have implemented the BP merge functionality with web ui crm 2007.
And
It was the issue with objects maintenance in tran buswu01 and transportation to testing client and other systems.
now BP merge fun. works fine:
to config:
User the BP merge funn. in web ui.
Assign the Task for merging the BP's
Maintain the all relevant object to transfer.
which will trigger a batch job and will transfer all the transact from duplicate account to master account and will mark the duplicate account to Archive.
any ho thanks for all your suggestions and help.

Hi Kai/Mike,
Thanks for the inputs, but i'm still clueless about what to do, here's what i understand:
- We have to transport customizing from CLNT 000 to other working clients.
But our problem are:
- We dont know what all customizing entries are missing, there are few we know because we are working on those (in CLNT 400), but we are afraid there may be much more thats missing.
- If i want to transport SAP Standard entries how to go about it, do i have to include every customizing node in transport request, if i can do that.
I'm kind of confused on "How to include SAP Standard Customizing Entries in a transport request (from CLNT000) to transport to another client". Let's say i want to transport everything under "Funds Management" in SPRO, from CLNT 000 to CLNT 400.

Vikas

CRM 2007 Upgrade - IE 7.0 Tabs

Hi Gurus
Our client has recently upgraded from CRM 5.0 to CRM 2007
We are using the IC Webclient
I have an issue when I confirm the customer:
When I have IE 7.0 open with only the IC Webclient active, on confirming the customer the Account Info area is correctly populated.
When I have IE 7.0 open already and then launch the IC Webclient, it appears in a new tab for the current IE 7.0 instance, on confirming the customer the Account Info area is left blank.
I have not been able to locate any threads or notes on this subject but would imagine this to be a common issue.
Any guidance gratefully received and rewarded.
Many Thanks in advance
Panduranga

Hi,
We were also facing similar problem with password. Actually what happens is if session is opened in other tab of explorer, it reads the cookies of first tab. So problem like this come. I dont think any note/ thread can solve this problem beacuse it is issue of internet explorer and not of SAP CRM.
