GIS Upgrade in an SAP Lanscape

All,
I would like to see if anybody has experiance with ugprading a GIS environment withing a SAP Landscape.
Current Environment
Application = GIS 4.1 on Windows Server 2003
Database = MS SQL Server 2000 on Windows Server 2003
Target Environment
Application: Sterling Integrator (GIS 5.1)
Application Server: Linux Red Hat 5
Database: MS SQL Server
We have around 30 interfaces going through GIS. I got a quote that this is a 9 month effort and around US$1 Mio. Does this sound right to anybody? Also what is the opinion about Linux and a MS SQL environment?
Thanks,
Alex

I have recenty upgraded the GIS application last month and it is working fine. I am not familiar with SQL Server so cannot tell you the exact complexicity on that.
Initial Version
GIS 4.3 on Wndows 2003 Server with Oracle 10G
After Upgrade
Sterling Integrator 5.1 with Patch on Windows 2003 with Oracle 11g
I dont remember the exact number of interface but is was more then 30 and i have not found so much Complexicty which needs 9 month. I have done it in 1 month and upgraded the Test/Prd environment of GIS

Upgrade project : from SAP R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0 by using SAP Data Services

Hi All,
My client is upgrading from SAP R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0
We are planning to use SAP Data Services(Data Integrator) in the upgrade plan from SAP R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0 for Data Migration.
we have no idea whether we can use this SAP Data Services(Data Integrator) in SAP upgrade data migration.
The bottom line is we have to make use this Data Services (Data Integrator) product in our upgrade plan for Data Migration.
Please tell us if anybody already used it such kind of scenario in a data migration project with Data Services(Data Integrator).
If we can use Data Service(Data Integrator) what are the pros and cons in using this Data Services(Data Integrator).
Thank You,
Ashok

My opinion is you would want to utilize SAP tools to port the data - our SAP BASIS administrator is out this week but we can provide exact tool names when he returns. ELM (External List Management), IDOC are some of the tools.
You could use DS/DI to export, cleanse, deduplicate the records prior to importing with SAP tools if that is your end goal.
We also offer a data quality tool that extends DS/DI to cleanse/deduplicate name/address records as they are entered into the system. It also comes with batch tools to cleanse/dedup the entire systems name/address information. See Data Quality Management for SAP for further details.

SAP R/3 System analysis before upgrade 4.6C -- SAP ECC 6.0

Hello!
Before the upgrade from R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0 I would like to execute SAP R/3 system analysis.
The following functions should be included in this program:
- detailed analysis of system modifications (effort driver and risk factor during an Upgrade)
- comparison against a SAP ERP 6.0 reference system
- extension SAP tools, including RBE and conflict lists (SPAU/SPDD)
- syntax analysis of program code with respect of adjustement need
- quality control of own development
- control of amount of transports within different company areas
- control of user information, such a user type, logon date, etc.
- basic control, whether a sufficient authorization concept is available
- Identification of objects that should be considered for the archiving in oder to decrease the db-size
My question are:
- which tasks can be convered with SAP standard transactions what are the names of the transactions?
- which effort do I investigate for these tasks?
Thank you very much!
regards

Dear Thom,
To know the functionality changes u can refer http://solutionbrowser.erp.sap.fmpmedia.com/
http://www.sap.com/solutions/business-suite/erp/pdf/BWP_ERP2006_Upgrade.pdf
http://service.sap.com/releasenotes and http://service.sap.com/upgrade for functional changes.
Need to consider the following things:
For Reportsits custom developed program so unless there is any kind of change in requirement from the client regarding the layoutnothing needs to be changedI think it will work fine in ECC 6.0 toexcept few things may needs to be changed..so you need to discuss whether they want the reorts as it is right nowor want to change the layout (adding some new info/fields etc) of any reportso u need to modify the program for thoseand estimate accordinglyfor a medium complexitys Report dev it takes approx 9 pd (FRSTDSCoding+Unit Testing)so to modify it will be less than that (depending upon the scope of changes)
Now say for Batch Inputs(interface/Data Migration) using BDCyou need to see how many BDCs are thereagain if the field lengths and layouts are not changingthen no need to change anything (except the main thing..you need to change the obsolete function modulesthere are some in 4.6 c like for data upload ws_upload_*** is there 4.6C but obsolete in ECC6.0there are some new with enhanced functionality so you need to modify the BDCsand many cases it happens that the whole transaction screen changes for processin that case better to develop new BDCsso you have to consider those parameterlook into and estimate accordinglymodifying a BDC should not take more than 1 PD
Now say for Formsthere was no Smart form in 4.6Cform printer was there..though the same option is there in ECC 6.0 too..but better to go for/should go for Smart formin that caseits complete new devso estimate accordinglya medium complexitys form should take 8 PD (FRSTDSCoding+Unit Testing)you can take it as 10 PD tooeven if client wants to keep it is as it was in older versionyou have to redevelop the layout in ECC 6.0 againas form printer is even client dependentmaximum you can copy the program associated with that form in the new version tooand your effort will be savedagain you have to consider if clients wants to change the layout too
Now for enhancementso in that case u need to see individual casesfor a medium complexity enhancement it should take max 15 PD (FRSTDSCoding+Unit Testing)
One more important thing is that the Unicode Compatibilitythis needs to be done.needs to change the code (variable name) accordingly.also Version management tool is used for the standard programs
Also pls find the following forums:

Upgrade CFM from Sap R/3 Enterprise (4.7) Sap to ECC 6.00

Hello,
We are in a project of upgrade Sap from Sap R/3 Enterprise (4.7) to Sap ECC 6.00. Our question is particularly for CFM component migration/upgrade.
As we checked we have activate the extension set:
EA-FIN: Financials Extension
EA-FS: Financial Services
According with the Component Version Data the extension set EA-FINSERV has the release 2.00. However, in order to execute the CFM migration with transaction TPM_MIGRATION we are not sure if our CFM installation is on release 1.00 or 2.00.
In the other OSS note 858966 mentions the following conditions to start points migration:
1. The start release of the upgrade is SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.70 with SAP
R/3 Enterprise extension set 1.10 or earlier.
2. The target release of the upgrade is SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.70 with SAP
R/3 Enterprise extension set 2.00 or higher.
Do you know a transaction o report Sap which provides this information?
Thank in advance.
Sergio

Within SAP, select System -> Status... In the pop-up box, click the details button in the SAP System data section and you'll get another pop-up with system component information. It's been a couple of years since I did the Treasury migration for our upgrade from 4.7 to 6.0, but I believe the component you're looking for is EA-FIN. The Release column will have either 110 (for extension set 1.10) or 200 for (2.00).

Upgrade of Sourcesystem SAP EHP3 SAP ECC 6.0 to SAP EHP4 SAP ECC 6.0

Hi,
I noticed there is a lot of questions on the testing procedures for BI side when Upgrading the source system from R/3 to ECC 6.0. But noticed there aren't many posts on when doing Ehancement Packs. But I believe the process would be more or less the same?
My project is doing an Upgrade of SAP EHP3 SAP ECC 6.0 Stack03 to SAP EHP4 SAP ECC 6.0 Stack07. BI Side is also upgraded, but I am more interested in the impact of the Upgrade's Source System (ECC) on BI.
I believe the amount of impact is less as compared to an upgrade from R/3 to ECC, but there still should be impact to BI somehow.
Basically, from what I have researched, there correct procedure is as below:
Pre-Upgrade
1 - Lock users in ECC
2 - ensure that the Delta queue is cleared in RSA7
3 - check the PI in ECC6.0 ( What is PI???)
3 - stop all loads from BW
Post-upgrade
1 - Check Source System connections
2 - replicate all data sources in ECC (when I do a check connection in RSA1 I get the message "No metadata upload since upgrade" which I believe is due to this step not done yet? Is it ok to replicate all datasources??)
3 - activate all rules thru program (RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL. Is it ok to activate all transfer strucs?)
4 - run Init w/o Data Transfer for deltas
5- run and then check extraction for full & delta loads
Appreciate if I could your expert inputs on the procedures above? Maybe a more detailed step by step procedure or comments are most welcomed.
Thanks.

Additional information:
I start the upgrade from SAP ECC 6.0 with a dual stack.
SAP advised me to download the following file to start the upgrade
SAPehpi_68-10005800.SAR from the SMP
Download path: Browse our Download Catalog--> Additional Components --> Upgrade tools --> SAP EHPI Installer --> SAP EHP Installer 7.00.
Start the upgrade without the jce_policy_zip extension. This was written in note 1302772 .
Have more luck with it.

Upgrade strategy for SAP ECC 6.0 SPS 12 to EHP4

Hi!
I would like to update a SAP ECC 6.0 system with EHP4.
I am on Windows 64 Bit with Oracle.
My current SP stack of SAP ECC 6.0 is 12.
What is the best timesaving approach to update SAP ECC 6.0 SPS 12 to EHP4?
a) to patch manually with SPAM/SAINT til SAP ECC 6.0 highest SPS (18?) and run SAP EHP Installer to upgrade to EHP4
b) to run SAP EHP Installer that updates SAP ECC 6.0 with highest SPS and upgrade the system to EHP4
Any helpful information will be very appreciated!
Thank you!

Hi Holger,
It's better to start upgrade with EHPI tool only so that downtime will be minimized instead of first doing via SAINT to highest SPS and then EHPI tool.
Also, while starting upgrade with EHPI tool, make sure of below thing:
1) Number of R3trans processes
2) Memory parameter optimization
Also. check SAP note 1143022

Upgrade process to SAP Solution Manager 7.1

Hello!
We use SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0 (SPS 26) and plan to upgrade to the new SAP Solution Manager 7.1.
We currently do not have Java Stack there.
Some questions about Upgrade process
1) Can a direct Upgrade from SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0 (SPS 26) to SAP Solution Manager 7.1 be realized?
2) Should we first install Java Stack and then proceed with the Upgrade or otherwise?
3) Will Windows 32 Bit and None-Unicode Version of SAP Solution Solution Manager be supported?
It will be great to get some helpful information.
kind regards

Hello!
Trying to answer your question
1) As described in note 1244225, there no restriction to upgrade the Solman EHP1 to solman 7.1. Refer to the section:
In case you do not participate in this current Solution Manager 7.1 beta shipment there are no restrictions for implementing now SP stack 25 and upgrading in the future to an equivilant SP stack of release 7.1."
2) The Solman EHP1 must always be a dual stack system, I am not sure, how you are running the Solman EHP1 without a Java Stack, you should have one.
3) I am not sure if there will be a Solman 7.1 32Bit Non-UNICODE version. But, SAP recommends to run Solution Manager on Unicode (see also customer letter on http://service.sap.com/Unicode). At solman EHP1 there are some issues when running the system as Non_UNICODE, refer note 1383407.
I am not sure if I could clarify all your doubts.
You may check the following URL:
http://service.sap.com/instguides
- SAP Components
- Solution Manager 7.1
As this is a very new software there is few documents in it, but soon you should see a upgrade guide here.

Allam

Upgrade: Adapters for SAP NetWeaver PI 1.1

Hello!
By the upgrade to SAP NetWeaver PI 7.3 we get (within Solution Manager Maintenance Optimizer) a addon Adapters for SAP NetWeaver PI 1.1.
Question
Do we need this addon when we go to SAP NetWeaver PI 7.3 or can we install this after the upgrade with SAINT?
thank you!

Many thanks!
I also have been asked (within Solution Manager Maintenance Optimizer) to update following contents:
EHP Component XI CONTENT ESM ERP 604
EHP Component XI CONTENT IS-H_IC 604
EHP Component XI CONTENT IS-H 604
Makes it sence to update with the upgrade process or can it wait?

PROBLEM UPGRADING SBODEMOUS IN SAP HANA

Hello,
I'm trying to upgrade SBODEMOUS database in a SAP HANA DB (created directly in HANA DB) but when it tests the upgrade fails with error:
"Parameter type error in stored procedure SBO_SP_TransactionNotification; contact SAP support".
It points to this note: 1343078 - Upgrade Wizard Precheck:Transaction notification parameters
But solution is for SQL Server, the procedure SBO_SP_TransactionNotification does not exist in my database.
Any suggestion?
Thanks.

Hi Angel,
Procedure "SBO_SP_TransactionNotification" is a stored procedure created by B1 automatically, should be in each one of your company databases. You cannot find it in SBODEMOUS database?
You need to modify the stored procedure in SQL server before proceeding with the migration to HANA.
Was SBODEMOUS company database an old SQL company database or is it a new company database created directly in HANA version?
Regards,
Trinidad.

SAP BPC Upgrade Review by SAP

Will SAP provide any kind of review of on the SAP BPC Upgrade from 4.2 to 7.0 M done by Partners

Yes, it's possible to arrange for a review by SAP Consulting. You should contact your local SAP office, either through your existing contacts, or speak to the Consulting Services organization. They can direct you to the BPC experts in your region of the world.
If the partner doesn't have prior experience with BPC upgrades (and Outlooksoft 4.2 in general), I'd recommend that you involve SAP as early as possible, before starting the upgrade if possible.

Upgrade SAP NetWeaver Portal 7.0 to 7.3 - Custom coding

Dear all,
we would like to upgrade an existing SAP NW Portal 7.0 to the latest version 7.3. The current installation contains a number of custom coded portal and Web Dynpro applications. As far as I understand SAP's upgrade guides, documents and notes:
- Web Dynpro applications of NW 7.0 are source compatible to version 7.3 but not binary compatible and thus need to be manually migrated to the new platform. The manual migration consists of an import of the respective artifacts (DCs) to NetWeaver Developer Studio 7.3 in order to rebuild, re-archive and re-deploy the software.
- Portal applications developed with Java 1.4.2/J2EE 1.3 (default version of SAP NW 7.0) are generally source and binary compatible to those developed with Java EE 5 (JDK 5/6) in SAP NW 7.3 and thus do not need to be manually migrated. However, the KMC-API and the UME-API used therein have been changed. In case an application uses these APIs, it is necessary to adjust the source code before rebuilding and re-deploying the application.
Is the summary presented above correct? If not, could you please point out which assumption is wrong?
Furthermore, could you please give me any details about changes regarding the portal frameworkpage? We have a highly customized frameworkpage and would like to know in how far the latter will be running on the new portal version.
Thanks for your help and best regards,
Markus

Hi Markus
Its been long period since last reply on your reply. In case you haven't yet solved your issues, I hope my reply would help you to some extent.
As per SAP, all those WD Java applications that were developed on NW 7.0 needs to be migrated on NW 7.3 if you plan to make further modifications (on new environment) in these applications.
For migration, all you need to do is migrate the development track, import the track into NWDS 7.3 and migrate the DCs one by one.
However in case of Portal applications, some of our custom portal applications (TLN), worked as it is on NW7.3 but some are not working even after defining new dependencies. Since some of the Classes have been removed, we are working around them.
