Impact of upgrade of SAP R3 source system on BW system

Hi Experts,
Could you please help me to list down the impacts on BW system due to upgrade of SAP R3 source system?
[1] Is there any impact if R3 is upgraded to Unicode restricted version from a version where Unicode restriction was not mandatory?
[2] With respect to delta loads what will be the threat?
[3] With respect to Business contents modifications by SAP's new upgraded version, can be there be any threat?
Any inputs will be appreciated... Thanks in advance!
Regards, Somenath

Please specify which version of BW u r using.
A direct upgrade to ECC6.0 is possible from a minimum lower version of R/3 3.1i and not below that and coming to BW an upgrade to BI 7.0 is possible from a minimum lower version of BW 3.0B and not below that.
The compatibilty is possible with an addition of some Plug -In's or Patches.
There will not be much of problem,

Impact of upgrade from SAP CRM Interaction Center 4.0 to 5.0 on Genesys CTI

Hi Friends,
I would like to know that what is the impact of upgrade from SAP CRM Interaction Center 4.0 to 5.0 on Genesys CTI software.
1) Will there be anything we need to change?
            for e.g.
                 a) Settings
                 b) Software
                 c) Hardware
2) What do we need to keep in mind when upgrading from SAP CRM Interaction Center 4.0 to 5.0?

Hello!
The biggest change you must face is related to Java. If you had CRM4.0 Java configuration, you must change your settings to the non-java configuration CRM5.0 has. Most of those changes are performed by the upgrade program, but you must activate services in transaction SCIF.
Your other concerns:
- Software: Most of the Genesys releases are compatible with both java and non java configurations. Anyway, I am sure Genesys has compatibility instructions.
- Hardware: No changes to my knowledge
<b>Hope it helps. Please, reward points if so</b>

Upgrade to SAP BPC 7.0 with cluster system (Front-End & Back-End)

Hello,
I have to do an upgrade document about an outlooksoft 5.0 SP2 to SAP BPC 7.0 SP4 in a cluster system.
It has 2 front-ends (IIS cluster windows) & 2 back-ends (SQL Cluster).
We are going to do first the migration in 1 node, and then in another. The first upgrade in the first node I understand. I uninstall outlookdoft 5.0, install SAP BPC 7.0 SP4 and then restore the backup of the Appset, and do the posts upgrade action of the Dimension TIME.
But in the second, what do we do??? I uninstall outlookdoft 5.0, install SAP BPC 7.0 SP4 and then what??? Do I have to restore the backup of the Appset again???
I need help.
Best regards.
Pablo Mortera.

Hello,
On the second cluster node, you have only to install the software, nothing related to the appset. If you alreay run the migration stepts for the appset, all the information are into daatbase and file server.
However, the normal behaviour is to make the installation on the both nodes, make the basic tests to validate the installation and then proceed with the appset migration.
Best regards,
Mihaela

SAP System copy without shutting down the source and the target system

Hi,
We need to need to System refresh without shutting down both the source and the target system, i read the docs from SAP looks like we need to shutdown the source system during export and import phase, is there any way to do the system refresh without shutting down the system.
Sathish

Hi,
Think a little bit about what is a database and you'll get the answer that what you "need to need" is impossible.
Of course it is possible to keep the source running (hopefully, because ususally it is the production system !) by using an online backup, but you need to stop the target system because you will restore a backup on it.
If you use the export/import way, you have to stop both source and target system.

Olivier

SAP BI tables / FM's to get datasource details of source system in BW system

Hi All,
Is it possible to trace the Datasource details of source system in BW system. For example if there a ECC Datasource 0FI_XX_XX, then is it possible to find below details in BW using some RFC FM's ot tables
1) If there is any enhancements for the Datasource
2)What is the name of extract sturcture and name of the enhancement.
3) Is it possible to get code written for that Datasource enhancement
Please let me know.
Thank You.
CPG

Hi,
Might be possible by using RFC. But you may face issues.
Because enhancement code is based on ecc fields. those won't be compatible at bw side.
Actually why you need to ecc details at bw side?
All below points need to check source system side.
1. You can check at CMOD, by using standard exits. or
at SE38. ZXRSAU01/02/03 depend on data source type you can use program and search for your data source you may know the code if your data source was enhanced by using cmod.
2.Data source extract structure name you can get from source system, RSA6, double click on your data source, open next screen you may see it. There is no specific name for enhancement. but all enhancement components under RSAP0001.
3. Yes, you can check program ZXRSAU01 - transaction data source, once you open thi program, you can search for your data source, you may see the relevant code for your data source enhancement.
As my guess your data source is transaction data source.
Thanks

Unable to logon on SAP E-sourcing 5.1

Hi,
Unable to logon on E-sourcing 5.1 with 'enterprise' user id, error "Entry does not exist"
Background:
1. We have installed SAP E-sourcing 5.1 on Netweaver platform.
2. Cretaed Enterprise context (example 'acme1') using 'system' user id and assigned "System Default Cluster" and mainatined password which I remeber.
3. First time I'm able to logon using 'enterprise' user id and able to configure, change, save atc.
4. How wvere, when I logged off and try to login agin using same user id & passwords as followed in step3 above, error "Entry does not exist" is displayed.
5. I tried again by creating new context (example 'acme2'), before doing this I removed the assignment of "System Default Cluster" to earlier created context i.e. 'acme1' and assigned the same to 'acme2'
6.Found the same error when I tried to login using same user id (enterprise) & password which I maintained for newly created context.
Do not know the exact issue. Pls help me or give me some clue.
Thanks,
Hari

Hi,
I got it. incorrect "Host Name" was entered in cluster configuration.
After correcting this, I'm able to login now and hence I'm closing this question.

Data Migration from Legacy system to ECC systems via ETL through SAP PI

Hi All,
I wanted to know if we can migrate the data from Legacy systems to ECC systems via PI.
What I understand is there is ETL tool is used to extract the data from legacy system, and what client is looking to load that data via PI?
Can we do that ? I am concerned because this will involve mass data?
If I have to use PI , I see option of PROXY / IDOC /FILE as receiver in ECC system (take the data from ETL)?
Can somebody has done this earlier , please share the approach.
Thanks,
Pushkar Patel

Hi ,
I require few details from you.
1. What ETL tool you are using, If Informatica, it already have PowerConnect to connect to SAP. So you can create source and Target Structure and also you can use RFC's to send data to R/3. Else, for other ETL tools, can you prepare RFC's or any other way to send data to R/3. let me know the tool.
2. Does R/3 contains the master data tables? If yes, then try to use LSMW for Mass upload of data to tables.
If your client don't want to use either of these options please elaborate, what is the case.

IM (Inventory material) is failing in ECC 6.0 upgrade from SAP R/3 4.7

Hello,
We are working on Technical upgrade project (SAP R/3 4.7 to ECC 6.0 EHP 6) for one of our Client.
when we are trying to create a purchase order (ME21N) in upgraded system (ECC 6.0), the field IM Material is failing to accept the internal material values from MATNR field. After entering the IM material, the value immediately got disappeared and it needs some workaround to get the material back in to the IM field along with MPN material.
It was working fine (accepting Internal material) in R/3 4.7, if we give a valid internal material, it immediately get copies to the field IM Material.
In case of ECC 6.0, it is completely failing.
Please suggest if you have come across any solution?

Upgrade from SAP R/3 Enterprise 4.70 to ECC 6.0

Hi experts,
I am currently trying to build some knowledge for my final project. (Working as an apprentice in computer science atm)
Main goal of the project is to upgrade our dev system to ECC 6.0.
As far as I understand it, ECC 6.0 ONLY works with NetWeaver 7.0. Do I need to upgrade to NW7 before I upgrade to ECC 6.0 or is there a all-in-one package, which upgrades both at once?
I browsed through a few upgrade guides but didn't really find an explaination I could understand...
Could someone describe the basic steps for such an upgrade? (Like: Copy System - Upgrade NW - Install Components....)
Kinda desperate
Thanks in advance!
Sandro Bollschweiler
P.s.: I hope I used the right Forum for my question...

Hi,
When you upgrade to SAP ERP 6.0 (ECC 6.0), the underlying technology within the SAP R/3 4.7 system is automatically upgraded to the SAP NetWeaver 7.0 version. It is one upgrade;
SAP R/3 4.7 -
> upgrade -
> SAP ERP 6.0
SAP Web AS -
> SAP NetWeaver 7.0
The upgrade guides are you best place for information. The SAP ERP 6.0 has the steps to follow and all requirements.
For installations, please see the aptly named installation guide title "Master guide - SAP ERP 6.0". Both the upgrade and installation guides are available at service.sap.com/instguides.
For system copy info, see the SDN page: System Copy and Migration
There is some demo examples here too
All the best,
Mike.

Upgrade from SAP R/3 4.6C to SAP ECC 6.0

Dear All,
Our organisation has been running SAP R/3 4.6C on Solaris 8 with Oracle 8i database. We are considering an upgrade to SAP ECC 6.0.
I have already checked the SAP Marketplace (Product Availability Matrix) and found that SAP R/3 4.6C first needs to be upgraded to mySAP ERP 2004 (SAP ECC 5.0) and then from SAP ECC 5.0 to SAP ECC 6.0.
My first question is whether I am on the right track.
Secondly, I was going through various SAP Upgrade strategies and curious to know the difference between technical upgrade and functional upgrade.
Please correct me if I am wrong - technical upgrade is when you technically upgrading the SAP ECC release from 4.6C to 5.0 (that is, upgrading Operating System, Database and ECC).
Once it has been completed, business processes (functional modules) need to be remapped. The development needs to be reworked upon (Modification Adjustment). This is what is known as functional upgrade.
I would appreciate if someone throws some light on my understanding on this subject.
Regards.
Wolfgang.

> Our organisation has been running SAP R/3 4.6C on Solaris 8 with Oracle 8i database. We are considering an upgrade to SAP ECC 6.0.
Oh.. you're aware of the fact, that Oracle 8 as well as Solaris 8 is out of support?
I would do it like (if you need/want to stay on the same hardware):
- upgrade Oracle 8 (I hope your run 8.1.7.4) to Oracle 9.2.0.8
- upgrade Solaris 8 to Solaris 10
- upgrade Oracle 9.2.0.8 to Oracle 10.2.0.4 + latest interim patches
- use kernel 46D_EX2
- upgrade the 4.6c to ERP 6.0
Be aware, that, if you plan to use Java applications (such as the Enterprise Portal or other Netweaer related appliation), the ERP 6.0 must be converted to Unicode.
