IDES upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0
Hi,
I have windows 32 bit system there I would like to perform an upgrade simulation from 4.7 to ECC 6.0.
Can I perform IDES R3 4.7 to ECC Non-Ides upgrade or I have to Upgrade to IDES ecc 6.0?
In case of IDES ECC 6.0 I can not see any Upgrade Export CDs whereas for the Non-Ides version I can see the upgrade export.
Please give your valuable comment , I am a little bit confused.
Regards,
Souren Sharma
Hi,
You cannot upgrade your IDES version. You have to install new IDES system as ECC 6.0.
For more information check SAP Note 164244 - IDES upgrade
Find below the extract from this note:
If required, you can carry out a standard upgrade of your IDES installation to a higher release level. However, this is not an IDES upgrade but 'merely' a repository upgrade (ABAP, Dictionary, GUI...). The sample data of IDES client 800 remains unchanged. We cannot guarantee that your IDES scenarios work after the upgrade to the new release level. Therefore, we recommend that you order the required release as a new installation.
Thanks

SAP Upgradation from 4.5B to ECC 6.0
Hi all,
We need to upgrade from 4.5B to ECC 6.0. Gathered all the information abt. the 4.5 B system...Its on AIX using ORACLE.
I want to know few more info. with your help. i have access to the system through GUI, but didnt have OS level access..
1.) How to know whether the system is CLUSTER configured, any transaction?
2.) I didnt find any Upgradation Guide particular to AIX, can u pls. guide me the path for that in SMP?
3.) How to check whether its using any third party tools(Like Fire Fighter...etc) and any usage types configured(Like PI, BI...)
please guide me in knowing the above through GUI?
Thanks,
SubbuHi,
Roadmap is the recomended way to manage the Upgrade project, but this will not make anything automatic. If you don´t have the knowledge and time to configure the project in Solman then just follow the Upgrade Guide. In this Roadmap is included Technical and Funtional processes and it is an excellent starting point for the project but as already said, if don´t have the knowledge or any other person from the team either, then don´t worry much about it althoug it is imperative that a good Project is designed before starting the process either using MS Project or any other software, after the first tests you will have to adjust times for next upgrades.
Buy the way in the upgrade guide there are some sections specially dedicated to AIX but most parts of the process are the same for any OS/DB combo. Basically check prerequisites, do prepare, fix what ever is necesary and then run upgrade process.
Read the Upgrade Guide 2 or 3 times to get a clear Idea on what should be done before, during and after the upgrade process, read all related notes and have them printed in case of any problem.
AND you should have access to OS level, if you don´t then when doing Prepare or Upgrade then you won´t be able to look at the logs and that is Vital during the process. Also need to have access to SAP directories to check and change files like copying upgrade DVD's, upgrading R3trans, TP, etc so explain that to them or make one of them to be next to you.

Interview questions on upgrades from 4.7 to ECC
Hi,
Can any one please post some potential areas/questions that will be asked for upgrade projects from 4.7 to ECC6.0
Points will be awarded.
ThanksHi Frank,
this is good question, why because sap upgrades from 4.6b to ecc 6.0 is very risky.
take one example , in 4.5b , me21n application having 620 screen where as in ecc 6.0 having 9000 screen . that time we will take care of it.
check the obsolete function modules , 4.5b , having ws_upload, ws_download.... use cl_gui_frontend_services , under these having differnt type of methods.
once you change the code in ecc , go to tranx : SLIN check the error where it is exact. -

Top-Down Distribution - tcode KE28 (release upgrade from 4.6 to ECC 6.0)
All,
we are performing a release upgrade from 4.6 to ECC 6.0 and we have a problem with the tcode KE28.
The variant already set up in the system don't match with the selection fields present in the screen, and the following message is shown:
Message no. KG346
The variant does not adhere to the current Customizing setup
We have saved the variant again, and no problem are present, but the error message refers also to Customizing setup.
Is there a section in the Customizing where it is possible set up the field to show in the initial screen or the new fields (All Valuation Views, Legal Valuation View and Profit Center Valuation View) are due to the release upgrade?
If yes, do you know the transaction/path?
Thanks in advance for your collaboration.

Performance issue after Upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 with a select query
Hi All,
There is a Performance issue after Upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 with a select query in a report painter.
This query is working fine when executed in 4.7 system where as it is running for more time in ECC6.0.
Select query is on the table COSP.
SELECT (FIELD_LIST)
INTO CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF TABLE I_COSP PACKAGE SIZE 1000
FROM COSP CLIENT SPECIFIED
WHERE GJAHR IN SELR_GJAHR
AND KSTAR IN SELR_KSTAR
AND LEDNR EQ '00'
AND OBJNR IN SELR_OBJNR
AND PERBL IN SELR_PERBL
AND VERSN IN SELR_VERSN
AND WRTTP IN SELR_WRTTP
AND MANDT IN MANDTTAB
GROUP BY (GROUP_LIST).
LOOP AT I_COSP .
COSP = I_COSP .
PERFORM PCOSP USING I_COSP-_COUNTER.
CLEAR: $RWTAB, COSP .
CLEAR CCR1S .
ENDLOOP.
ENDSELECT.
I have checked with the table indexes, they were same as in 4.7 system.
What can be the reson for the difference in execution time. How can this be reduced without adjusting the select query.
Thanks in advance for the responses.
Regards,
Dedeepya.Hi,
ohhhhh....... lots of problems in select query......this is not the way you should write it.
Some generic comments:
1. never use SELECT
endselect.
SELECT
into table
for all entries in table
where.
use perform statment after this selection.
2. Do not use into corresponding fields. use exact structure type.
3. use proper sequence of fields in the where condition so that it helps table go according to indexes.
e.g in your case
sequence should be
LEDNR
OBJNR
GJAHR
WRTTP
VERSN
KSTAR
HRKFT
VRGNG
VBUND
PARGB
BEKNZ
TWAER
PERBL
sequence should be same as defined in table.
Always keep select query as simple as possible and perform all other calculations etc. afterwords.
I hope it helps.

When you are upgrading from 4.6C to ECC6
Nothing major, follow the same process you'd follow if you were updating PI service packs in R/3 or enhancing data sources. Empty queues in RSA7 and lbwq. Also empty setup tables through lbwg as the upgrade doesn't like it if these tables contain data. This is all on the R/3 side (although you empty RSA7 by running each delta TWICE in BW).
To transfer queues from lbwq to rsa7, execute jobs through LO cockpit (lbwe).
Some of your data sources could also be using sm13 instead of lbwq, so do check it out as well.
For installing ECC 6.0 you required a solution manager key. With out solution manager key you cannot install ECC6.0.
For ECC 6.0 is called net weaver component here you have ABAP+JAVA stack.
ECC6.0 supports UNCODE.
For installing 4.6 you don't require solution manager key. It only having ABAP stack.
4.6C supports NONUNICODE.
Major difference is ECC6 is netwear product having WASJAVA+ABAP
secondly support unicode apart from this we have other diff. you can get form master guide from service.sap.com/instguides.
Please go through the link that is shown here and if there is any doubts then feel free to ask.

Issues during technical upgrade from 4.6c to ecc 6.0
Hi
We are doing a technical upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0. Some transactions in QM module when tested in ECC 6.0 test client give a abap termination message (or dump) and certain transactions like qs42,46, qa18, qs34 etc do not get executed (error = no entry foound for......) and similarly in PP-PI module transactions like C203 have similar problems, even though master data does exist. What should I look for? Can somebody pl. give details on configuration checks and the OSS notes from a functional point of view for a technical upgrade?
For certain transactions I get the error message - "Central system of distribution SM-P06CLNT430_TRUSTED is unreachable RFC destination SM_P06CLNT430_Trusted does not exist" - what does this mean?
thanks
BEHi,
1. Have you done successfull installation from 4.6C to ECC 6.0 at the time of PrePare ans SAPUP?
2. Check SP' for QM and PP-PI modules from http://service.sap.com/sp-stacks.
3. Configure RFC connections correctly, SM_<SID>CLNT<No>_Trusted automatically created, not manually.

5. Disable the unwanted authorization objects.
6. Generate the profile.
7. Follow the same steps for all the affected roles listed.
Please note that you will have a list of new objects added.You need to maintain them inorder to avoid any access issues.

Schema error after upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 5.0
Hi all,
We have recently upgraded from 4.6C to ECC 5.0. We are having problem in payroll run. When I did a syntax check in schema, I got "UDPM" rule doesn't exist. I checked, this rule is present in 4.6C. This is the standard rule. If I am right, it should have come with upgrade right?
or SAP has changed this? From where Can I get the info about this?
Also similar error I got in Function 'USTAX' parameter 3 is not allowed. If I remove that parameter, I don't know what is the implication of that.
I checked for SAP notes. I did not find anything.
Please let me know if any of you have come with such situation.
Thanks in advance.
Sarika.Hi Sarika,
We are also in a similar transition i.e. 4.6C to mysap Ecc5.0 . But we are on Canadian Payroll.
I had search OSS and got a PDF document regarding " Upgrading to SAP R/3 Enterprize - A User Guide to Canadian mysap HR Customers" . U may be can find a similar one for US payroll. I can give u mine, but it wont be of any use as it is for Canadian Payroll.
In Canadian mysap Upgrade , the function P0224 has been replaced by function KXDTM . Although P0024 is still in used in Schema K00T for conversion purposes.
