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.
Thanks

Hi 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.

ESS/MSS Upgrade from 4.6 to ECC 6.0 Question..

Hi Gurus,
During the upgrade SAP R/3 would be upgraded from 4.6C to ECC 6.0. The HR module on this R/3 has - Org Management, Benefits, Time Administration and Payroll. They use ESS based on ITS. My question is when they go from 4.6c to ECC 6.0 - would they have to let go the ITS based ESS transactions and go with Web Dynpro based ESS? If yes then what happens to all the customizations they have done to ITS based ESS transactions. Would they have to be redone on the Web Dynpro based ESS?
Thanks,
Soniya Singh

yes You need to do different customisations for the Web dynpro since ECC 6 is better with WD, ITS functionality wont work here. Please check the training material for the MSS which is very exhaustive.
But if you continue to use ITS then your old customisation should work but then again there will be changes..better to move wholly to WD

Interview Questions for MTO from SD point of view

Dear SAP Experts,
I would like to know in detail the Interview Questions for MTO from SD point of view.
Thanks
Bhushan

Hi,
Since MTO is more a conceptually driven scenario first you need to understand what exactly happens in a business.
1) Be clear on the strategy groups.
2) Be clear on the cost center assignments since sales order is cost object in case of MTO
3) So you need FI interface idea to execute MTO process.
4) Understand how the SD is informed after the production is completed for an MTO order.
5) Understand the movement types involved, since sometimes it may be required that this special stock may be needed to sent to unrestricted or perhaps assign it to some other sales order.
6) Know clearly about requirement type since thats the key which identifies an MTO order.
Make sure you als read the library. Hope it helps.

Dear Priti,
Visit the following link:
http://solutionbrowser.erp.sap.fmpmedia.com/ .......give source and target versions to find the difference.
Major difference is ECC6 is netwear product having WASJAVA+ABAP secondly support unicode apart from this we have other diff. you can get fom master guide from service.sap.com/instguides.
For installing ECC 6.0 you required a solution manager key.With out solutionmanager key you cannot install ECC6.0.
For ECC 6.0 is called netweaver component here you have ABAP+JAVA stack.
ECC6.0 supports UNCODE.
For installing 4.6 you don't required solution manager key.It only having ABAP stack. 4.6C supports NONUNICODE.

Senthil

Hi,
Senthil following are ans to ur questions
1. After the SPAU remediation is completed, should I manually release the transport or should I start the upgrade and the upgrade will release that transport?
Ans : Once your SPAU remediation is completed you should release the requests and then start the upgrade of the DEV system.
2. How do we import this SPDD & SPAU transport in the QA and PRD, I mean at what stage of the upgrade we need to specify/ include this transport?
Ans : Now when you start the QA or PRD upgrade at that time you come across a phase during PREPARE called ADJUSTPRP.
Refer following note for further information --
SAPNote 124522 - Importing a modification adjustment in 2nd upgrade
3. Suppose the QA & PRD has more objects to adjust than our Dev box, and this transport will not take care of the delta objects, so in that case how should we remediate, we need to create an other transport request in QA and then it will become two transports?
Ans : First of all this should not be the scenario where you have more modified objects than that in DEV. As all the modfications should take place in DEV first and then should be transported to QA and then PRD. But in such case what you can do is complete the upgrade of QA system and then you are still having 14 days to complete the SPAU objects. So you can make another request which can be transported as a post upgrade activity once the upgrade is completed in production. For SPDD you will have to take care of the SPDD objects if there are different than those in DEV during the ACT_700 phase only or else you might risk data.
This is the reason why SAP always asks you to follow a proper transport path.
4. If our dev box has more objects for remediation than our QA & PRD, then will these objects be also imported into the QA & PRD box?
Ans : Yes, thats why you should be very sure about the SPAU objects that you have found in DEV. You need to compare the objects with QA and PRD and then only make the modifications.
I hope i have answered all your queries.

Suhas

Transactions missing in Role After Upgrade from 4.6c to ECC 6.0

Hello Friends,
I did multiple searches on this question but it was unsuccessful. We are upgrading from 4.6c to ECC 6.0. We are testing roles to make sure the migrate properly.
Irrespective of su25. There are transactions that are not obsolete and are missing in ECC 6.0
For example if I have a role called FIROLE. Which has 20 tcodes in 4.6c. When we upgrade to ECC 6.0 8 tcodes will be missing. This is not because the tcodes become obsolete.
What is the best way to approach this. Should we be testing each role?
Thanks!

Hello Imran,
transactions can be 'obsolete' also if they still exist.....
If the application developers create new functionality, new look,.... in new transactions but still let the 'old' ones in the system.
Just think about the ME2*-transactions..... The developer can decide, that such new transactions should replace the old ones after upgrade in the roles or let the old ones as they are.
You can get an overview about replaced/obsolete transactions by reviewing table PRGN_CORR2 (make sure, that you have the latest version, according to [SAP Note 991377|https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/991377] !!!). SU25 gets its information from that table.

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.

Jody Mancini.

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.

Pranaya

After opening the site, please select the Source Release Version which is 4.6 b Then Select the Target Release Version which is "mySAP ERP 2005" or ECC 6.0
Select the Solution Area like Financials, Human Capital Management, Sales....
Select module like MM, PP, SD, and QM.....
Click on Search
then it displays the Release Version and the Delta Functionality. Which can be downloaded to a word document if required.
And also check the release notes of ECC 6.0 in service.sap.com.
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
BE

Hi,
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.
http://service.sap.com/notes --> search for RFC trusted connections for Ecc 6.0

After upgrading from 4.6C to ECC 6.0 templates not working in smartform

Hello,
After upgrading from 4.6C to ECC 6.0 templates not working properly in smartform, although value is flowing to the point the template is getting called and inside the template there are text elements where placeholders are kept to display the value, when the print is taken there are no values being displayed by the text elements.
Please note - Text elements doesnot have any conditions present in the condition tabstrip.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Hi,
After the upgrade, you will have to do the security upgrade.
Please follow these steps.
1. Go To SU25
2. Run step 2A to 2D.
3. In step 2C, you shall get the list of all the affected roles.
Click on first role. It will take you to authorizations of that role. Click on the "New" tab there to find the new objects added to the role after the upgrade.
Note: You can open the same role in the unupgraded system to check.
4. Provide the access to the required authorization objects.
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.
8. After step 2C, complete 2D.
