Going from EHP3 to EHP4

Experts,
We already have ECC6.0Ehp3. After installing EHp3, we activated 2 business function sets in SFW5 and followed the normal processes to get this moved into the other clients. No problem!
That was many months ago. now, we are ready to do Ehp4 and that is my question.
Knowing that we are already on EhP3 and have already activated business function sets, eg ISU_UTIL_1 / ISU_UTIL_WASTE, etc.
So once we finished the install of EhP4 via the Enhancement Pack installer, will we need to go back to SFW5 and activate business function sets again? We already have all the functionality we need from when we did the SFW5 after EHP3 install, I don't want to activate anything new, but I wonder if that is a requirement when going from one EHP to a new one? If so, how do we keep from overwriting the config we already have?
I have fully read the following guides:
Note 337623 - Customizing after installation or upgrade
The specified item was not found.

But I still don't have an answer from these. Any insite would be much appeciated.
Thanks,

Hey Sunny,
Thanks again for following up, but I have seen this and fully read the note. Let me be more specific:
Is there any one out there who has applied a previous ECC Enhancement Pack (like EHP3, then activated a business function set in SFW5 (like IS-util), then copied the customization to all clients....and THEN at a later date applied EHP4 ???
If so, after applying EHP4, did you AGAIN have to go into SFW5? If not SFW5, did you have to use SCU0 to find additional features from existing business sets in client 000 and again copy that into the productive clients?
I know what the ambiguous documentation says, but when it comes down to REALLY doing this, I am still not clear. Please don't bother cutting/pasting sections from the tech guide and SAP note I have already referenced in a previous post. I have ready them....
Maybe I'm over-thinking this.....
Also, what if I wanted to activate a complely new business function set? After activating in SFW5, has anyone done this in a way that copies the new functionality in 000 but does not stomp on the previous customization from other activations?

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,

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 !

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.

Enhancement from EHP3 to EHP4

Hi All,
We are currently on Enhancment Package 3 and doing full implementation of Travel Management Module with Language Support.
To maintain the translations the changes are made to SAP Standard objects like -
OTR Packages - PTRM_WEB_UI , PTRM_WEB_POWL
Classes - CL_FITV_TEXT
Data Elements etc..
I want to know whether the changed translations will remain when the EHP4 will be applied.
Please provide valuable pointers.
Thanks and Regards,
Indu

Hi Karthik,
Thanks for the reply.
The point that i got from your reply is that if SAP enhances those objects for which we have done some customizations or changes then applying the package will overwrite those changes. Am i correct ?
Is there any program that we can run to avoid overwriting of objects ? I have heard about transaction spdd. Is this of any help.
I am actually more concerned about future since the system will surely be upgraded and then there will be chance to lose all the changes done for translations.
Thanks and Regards,
Indu

Installed the update tonight and now my phone (Lumia 928) won't power up. I've tried a soft reset, but the screen goes from the Nokia logo to a red Verizon screen to a black screen. What's wrong and how do I fix it? Help!

Installed the update tonight and now my phone (Lumia 928) won't power up. I've tried a soft reset, but the screen goes from the Nokia logo to a red Verizon screen to a black screen. Tried it 10 times with the same result. What's wrong and how do I fix it? Help!

Oh no Mr.Ected!
I can see if we can get your phone back on! I understand how important it is to have a phone. Have you tried this to see if we can get it back on? http://vz.to/1DZhteH . If it is still goes to a red Verizon screen and then to black we might need to do a master reset. While the phone is off try this:http://vz.to/1DZhXkU Be mindful this is the last resort because it will erase everything on the phone. If you have done back up assistant in the past you will be able to get you contacts back. Please let me know if you need any more help.

Going from iphone 4s to 6 want to know if i can save and or tran my voicemails and voice memos to put on my new phone

going from 4s to 6 can I save my favorite voice mails and voice memos to put on my new phone via pc or cloud

If you are planning to set up your iPhone 6 by restoring the iCloud backup from the iPhone 4s, your Visual Voice Mails and Voice Memos will be restored.

IPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds recorded. This happens randomly and often and sometimes has the delay but starts at zero. Solution Anyone?

After iOS 7 update, my iPhone 4s Voice Memo App has 5 second delay when the record button is pressed. When it starts recording, it goes from 0 seconds to 5 or so seconds that it shows has recorded. This happens randomly and often, sometimes it will have the 5+ second delay but starts recording at zero seconds. Besides the delay it has been working fine as far as saving and playback is concerned. I have plenty of storage on the phone itself and it NEVER had this problem before I updated to iOS 7. I've reset the phone a couple times by holding down the power and home buttons at the same time. The reason I have an issue with this is that I'm always recording song ideas, melodies, and scratch takes; what I'm saying is when I come up with an idea I need to be able to know that when I hit record it will start right then so I don't forget anything that has just popped in my mind.
Does anyone have a solution or suggestion?
Thanks

My ipod 5th gen ios 7.0.6 crashed and keeps going from the apple logo, going to a black screen, back to the apple logo, then back to the black screen and so on. Furthermore, my laptop doesn't recognise that the iPod is connected. What do I do?

My ipod 5th gen ios 7.0.6 crashed and keeps going from the apple logo, going to a black screen, back to the apple logo, then back to the black screen and so on. Furthermore, my laptop doesn't recognise that the iPod is connected. What do I do?
Please help me out as this is very irritating. This has been happening for the last 20-30 minutes. It had roughly half battery left.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hello jared1915
If you are stuck in that loop, the next step would be to restore your iPhone. Check out the article below to get your iPhone into recovery-mode and restore it in iTunes.

HT4623 The software update option is not on my phone. It just goes from "about" to "usage". I have an iPhone 3G. Every time I try to update it on iTunes, nothing changes. I have version 4.2.1, no matter what I do. Any suggestions?

I have an iPhone 3G, and cannot update my iOS. In the General tab, "Upadate Software" is not even there. It just goes from "About" to "Usage". When I try to update on iTunes, it always remains the same. iOS 4.2.1. Any suggestions? (My PC uses Windows XP). Also, my WiFi has completely quit working. Works fine on the other iPhones in the house, as well as the XBox 360, so I am sure it's my phone. I tried everything I could think of, including restoring the iphone to factory settings & then updating, but no luck. Thank you! for any help you can give! I plan to get an iPhone 5, but wasn't ready to do it quite yet. Hopefully my phone can be rescued until I'm ready.

That is the highest you will be able to go with 3g. You need 3gs or 4 to go any higher (multi processors and more memory needed). Version 4.2.1 marks the end of your updates for that device.

I had to get a new iphone and want to know how to tell if my pictures from my previous phone were backed up on itunes. when i connect my c even if i'm going from a 4 to a 5s?

i had to get a new iphone and want to know how to tell if my pictures from my previous phone were backed up on itunes. when i connect to itunes, does it automatically sync / backup even if i'm going from a 4 w/IOS 6 to a 5S w/IOS 7?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Yes you can probably delete the 2 incomplete back ups they are unlikely to work.
However, I'd be inclined to back up to a computer as well and restore from there, if you are changing your phone.

How do I transfer all my Firefox saved passwords to my new hard drive and operating system? Going from xp to windows 7.

How do I transfer all my Firefox saved passwords to my new hard drive and operating system? Going from xp to windows 7. I have the old hard drive hooked up as drive f. Can I copy and paste from old drive directory to new drive directory?

You need to copy 2 files, key3.db and signons.sqlite, from the old [[profiles|profile folder]] to the profile folder on the new computer.

I just jazzed up my 2 Ghz iMac with 10.6.8, and 4 gigs of memory. I'm VERY happy with the results (fast!), but now I have a thin yellow line way over on the right side of the screen, which goes from top to bottom. This is really strange! Any input?

I'm VERY happy with the results (fast!). However, the really strange thing is this - there is now a thin yellow line, way over on the right side of the screen, which goes from top to bottom, and stays there no matter where I go or what I do. I've never seen anything like this! It was not there before I did the upgrades. Anyone out there ever heard of such a preposterous thing ~ or have any ideas on how to get rid of it?

Hello Mark,
It's going to mean a lot of reading but you should study the 'More like this' legend to your post's immediate right. >>>>>>>> plus some of the links within each.
The problem is well explored with much guidance on what to do and where to go.

My apple tv keeps losing internet connection. I'm going from modem to airport and from airport to apple tv. I've replaced the modem and the apple tv and it still does it. Internet to my laptop via the airport wifi is fine and never drops out.

I keep having to restart it every time I want to use it. Sometimes I have to restart it multiple times. The cord goes from the cable modem to the airport and then from the airport to the apple tv. I've replaced the apple TV and I've replaced the modem and the problem persists. I assume it has to be the aiport? But the wifi from the airport works fine.
I tried bypassing the airport and going straight from the modem to the apple tv and it wouldn't work. That makes no sense to me.
I had a friend over to try and figure it out and he couldn't. Any idea what could be the problem??

The Ethernet cable from the modem should be connected to the AirPort's WAN (circle of dots) port and a second Ethernet cable should be connected between the AirPort's LAN (opposing arrows) port and the Ethernet port on the Apple TV. Is this the case?
If so, what is the make & model of the modem that the AirPort is connected to. Also what is the exact model of both the AirPort and the Apple TV?
