    thanx,

    Hi
    Technical upgrade is the fast upgrade without additional functionality but with minor user interface changes to ensure business continuity.  In the past, all objects modified by a customer had to be manually re-modified during an upgrade. Now, modifications are either automatically adopted or the system provides you with an assistant for adjusting your modifications to the newly upgraded configuration using transactin SPAU and SPDD.
    SPDD:  This transaction allows you to adjust modifications to ABAP Dictionary objects during an upgarde.
    Using this transaction we can adjust the Domains, Data Elements, Tables, Strcutures, Transparent tables, pooled and cluster tables including their technical settings, indexs of transparent tables. If you adjust data elements that have been changed with the Modification Assistant in an earlier release, the changes can be copied automatically.
    Steps to run SPDD: 
           1.      1)  Start transaction SE03 as user DDIC and choose Administration ® Set system change option
           2.      2)  Select Modifiable in the Global setting dialog box.
           3.      3) Choose Continue.
           4.      4) Choose Edit ® Select all.
           5.      5) Save your changes.
           6.      Then log on as a normal user, since user DDIC may not perform any repairs.
    SPAU:  This transaction allows you to adjust programs, function modules, screens, interfaces, documentation and text elements after an upgrade.
    After you adjusted or edited an object, you can use User/Status function to modify the status of the object. Before doing this, you can also add other developers or testers that are allowed to edit the object and create a short note.
    Steps to run SPAU:
    1) Start transaction SE03 as user DDIC and choose Tools ® Administration ® Set system change option.
           2.      2)  Select Modifiablein the Global setting dialog box.
           3.      3) Choose Continue.
           4.      4) Choose Edit ® Select all.
           5.      5) Save your entries.
           6.      Then log on as a normal user, since user DDIC may not perform any repairs.
    Other important topics in Technical Upgrade:
    Updaring the Development System: Perform the adjust int he development system using SPDD and SPAU transctions and assign to transport requests.  The upgrade control program R3up exports the transport that you have marked in a later upgrade phase.
    Upgrading the Production System: During this phase, the R3up upgrade control program checks whether there are any change requests registered for transport from the development system to the production system. If this is the case, R3up offers to import the transport automatically, instead of you carrying out adjustments with transactions SPDD/SPAU. If you choose this procedure, you still have the option of stopping SPDD/SPAU to check the changes accepted automatically before they are activated.
    If you decide to import a transport automatically, a subsequent analysis checks whether there is an entry in the transport you specified for each modified object found in this SAP System. Only if this is the case is the transport marked as suitable.
    If there are more modified objects in the production system than in the test system, they cannot be dealt with by the transport. This means that you have to adjust these objects.
    If you had more modified objects in the test system than in the production system and these are also contained in the transport, you import these into the production system with the transport

  • Doubts in functional upgradation from 3.x to 7.0.

    Hi All,
    I have some doubts in functional upgradation from 3.x to 7.0.
    After migration of Transfer rules, update rules ( between the ods & cube also) & datasource.
    1). Cube & ods have filed which is added like enhanced field, do we have to do anything after migration for that filed.
    2). Is the Z object also will get migrated automatically or not ( i have zfield in the datasource).
    3). If i have a routines in the trans rules & update rules, what has to be done for these routines
    4). How the custom reports, deliverd reports and workbooks will get migrated.
    5). Macros in the web templets ( is the macros coding in the web templets also will get migrated auto matically r do we need to rewrite the coding).
    6). Is the migration steps are same for the all SD, MM, FI datasources.

    1. this should not be a problem
    2. IO is not needed to be migrated, it is not changed so much between 3x. and 7.x
    3. routines & update rules in the trans rules are migrated automatically, see
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/43/f00e2696d24c5fe10000000a155369/frameset.htm
    https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BI/Migrationof3.xobjectstoBI7.0
    4. reports are to be migrated manually, see http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BI/Migrationof3.xBExQueriestoBI7.0-Useful+Tips
    5. see https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BI/QueriesorWorkbooksMigration-ErrorsandFixes
    6. in general yes.

  • BI Sizing for Functional Upgrade

    One query for which I could not get any clarification.
    We are planning for a functional upgrade of BI 7.0 to new functionalities.
    In the quicksizer table (say for cubes), do I need to inlude:
    a) All the EXISTING cubes/ ODS, dimensions, chars and KF, OR
    b) ONLY the NEW cubes/ ODS , dimensions, chars and KF, OR
    c) All EXISTING + NEW Cubes
    Though  'a' does not look like ok, but clarity between 'b' and 'c' is important, as there are 90 cubes, and 180 ODS in the system. Counting everything manually is a pain, and very time consuming. There is no report, could not find this in any data table either. Only option left is metadata repository (one by one objects), if needs option 'a' or 'c'.

  • What is a functional upgrade?

    When I was doing upgrade, I just went thru the guide and notes available on SMP.
    Now people are talking about functional upgrade and technical upgrade.
    I am not sure what is a functional upgrade.
    Thanks if you can help.  Regards.

    "Functional upgrade" is that what it means, upgrade functionality (in sense of new functionality for MM, SD etc.)  vs. "technical upgrade" which is just an upgrade of the underlying technology without changing functionality.

  • Functional Upgrad from BW 3.x to Netweaver 2004s

    Hi Guys,
    i have gone through almost entite forum on sdn but i could not get the information/document for functional upgrad. currently i am using BW 3.5 and going for BI 7.0
    could some one tell me the steps to do functional upgrad to BI 7.0. i am not talking abt the technical upgrad here. i would really appriciate if some one could send me some document that gives step to step procedure to do the functional upgrad.
    ur help will be rewarded in terms of points.
    manmit

    Hello,
    There are multiple resources to review since a functional upgrade requires a value proposition, gap analysis, and in some cases an ROI.
    First, all releases below BW 3.5 are currently scheduled to go off maintenance December 2006.  So customers need to be at release BW 3.5 or higher by Jan. 1, 2007.  This helps with the value proposition!  
    Please check the delta feature list from BW 3.5 to NW 2004s BI on SDN or the Service Marketplace.  As Prakash mentioned, customers should evaluate which features they want to implement and the timeframe.  Many customers will focus on a technical upgrade which is what we recommend initially, and also determine which features could be included in the first go-live.  Other features can be added to subsequent go-lives, but this is based on customer specific go-live timetables.  Some customers have implemented only new functionality while others only chose the most important, i.e. BI accelerator, BEx.
    Also, please check the webinar entitled "Upgrading to NW 2004s BI" which covers many of these points and lists the relevant references.
    Finally, SAP (and trained partners) will be offering an Upgrade Assessment service beginning of July which will assist customers in planning an upgrade to NW 2004s BI including both technical and functional considerations.  Please contact your SAP account team for more information.
    Thanks,
    Bryan

  • Impacts on ECC6 Functional Upgrade

    We have just technical upgraded our SAP ERP 4.6 to ECC6 recently, we're soon going to perform the functional upgrade of the ECC6.
    I would like to check if the ECC6 functional upgrade will have any impact to our existing BW 3.5 system?
    Please advice, thanks.

    i dont think, the new plugins will impact your BI system. if you go for the technical upgrade, this may break your source system connection and that time you have to do source system restrore connection.
    Other than that, no major impacts would be happened in the BI system.

    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.

  • PowerMac to MacPro - software functionality / upgrades?

    About to upgrade to a MacPro - currently have a PowerMac dual G5 2.0Ghz with 3.5GB RAM...
    Question 1: will I need to re-install all my software, or is there some neat way to transfer the apps ?
    Question 2: Having just received my Final Cut Studio 2 upgrade, can I simply install this direct onto my ne MacPro, or will I need to install the original FCS then add FCS2 upgrade..?
    Question 3: for FCS apps, what's the ideal machine configuration? I'm considering Quad 2.66GHz with 4GB RAM, or perhaps 8GB as Motion may prefer more memory if available.. ..or would an 8 core MacPro with 8GB give significantly better performance? I'll opt for the ATI X1900XT graphics card.
    Many thanks.
    Rgds, Ross.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    All your current applications that are not Universal Binaries should be reinstalled. Any applications that are PPC-only but available in Universal Binaries should be upgraded.
    Usually upgrade-only software cannot be installed unless a prior version of the software is already installed. Hopefully, you have the universal binary versions to use on the Mac Pro.
    You can transfer your files using this guide:
    <font "size=+1">Folders You Can Move to Your new Mac
    From the Home folder copy the contents of Documents, Movies, Music, Pictures, and Sites.
    In your /Home/Library/ folder:
    /Home/Library/Application Support/AddressBook (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Application Support/iCal (copy the whole folder)
    Also in /Home/Library/Application Support (copy whatever else you need including folders for any third-party applications)
    /Home/Library/Keychains (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Mail (copy the whole folder)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist (* This is a very important file which contains all email account settings and general mail preferences.)
    /Home/Library/Preferences/ copy any preferences needed for third-party applications
    /Home /Library/iTunes (copy the whole folder)
    /Home /Library/Safari (copy the whole folder)
    If you want cookies:
    /Home/Library/Cookies/Cookies.plist
    /Home/Library/Application Support/WebFoundation/HTTPCookies.plist
    For Entourage users:
    Entourage is in /Home/Documents/Microsoft User Data
    Also in /Home/Library/Preferences/Microsoft
    Credit goes to another forum user for this information.
    It would be wise not to use Migration Assistant when moving from a PPC Mac to an Intel Mac.
    There is no such thing as an 'ideal' configuration. Get whatever you feel best suits your needs over the next few years constrained by your budget. Everything else is pretty obvious - faster is better, more RAM is better.
