Is transportation from lower version to higher version is possible

hi all,
WE have BI 7.0 as our development system. we are setting up test servers now. now team wants the test server to be upgraded to BW 7.01. for which i would have to apply enhacement package1. now my question is:
Is transport possible from BW 7.0 to 7.01?will there be any issue with the objects developed in Netweaver 7.0 getting transported in Netweaver 7.01.
Also can you suggest me any links or documents which tells the steps to apply Enhacement package.
Regards,
Priya

Hi Priya,
It may be technically possible but is not supported and is extremely dangerous.
The reason is that you are importing objects between two systems but the state of those objects may be slightly or hugely different depending on the difference  in support pack level between the two systems. Even if they are only at slightly different levels, you would have to be absolutly sure that the objects you are transporting have not changed in the support package levels that are different. not only this but to be sure that no negative consequences could occur, you would also have to be sure that no objects that interact with those being transported, have been changed.
For these reasons it is just not worth the gamble since if an issue DID occur during or after transport, you would most likely have to restore from backup to ensure consistency. Its far better to only transport betwwen systems that are on equivalent support package levels.
Regards,
Paul

  • What r problems came related ABAP/4 work, when upgration from lower version

    Hi Experts,

    Hi Jayasunderreddy,
    I have gone through an upgradation project, which upgrades from lower version to higher version, there are some problem we could find and here are they:
    1) There were some syntax errors for the variables.
    sloution) we should relate them with new version variables and change them.
    2) There were some FM to be changed according to the version
    3) There were change in BDC also if the objects having BDC then we have to check whether it is functioning well or not, or the best way is to replace the BDC with BAPI, which is independent of version change, so further no problems if at all the version changes.
    Is this information ok..this is what we did for that.
    if you are satisfied then award the points.
    Thanks and regards

  • Error while transporting function grp from lower version to higher version

    Dear Experts,
      While transporting the function group and function modules from system A to system B, I am getting the below error
    "Program SAPLZATSCSNG_EINB, Include LEINBF10: Syntax error in line 000068
    Field 'GF_ETS_MODIFIED' is unknown. It is neitherin one of the specified tables nor defined by a 'D"
    System A is a lower version SAP system and system B is a higher version. I compared the code of Include LEINBF10 in both the systems and there is a data declaration of field GF_ETS_MODIFIED in system B. But this is missing in system A.
    Please guide me for this issue.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thankyou for your reply Rob.
    Actually I am transporting the function group and modules from my development system to the client development system.
    I dont have any other option but transport the files.
    Is there any possibility to modify the include without applying a patch or upgrading my system?

  • Import from higher to lower version is possible ?

    Hi,
    One of my production database is in 10.2.0.3 version and development is in 10.2.0.1 version?
    I need to refresh dev database from prod. Export/import is possible in this scenario ?
    Thanks,

    Cj wrote:

    Yes. Its possible.
    Use 9i exp/imp to do this.
    ThanksWhy 9i ? :-) I believe this is misleading info :-)
    You will need to use the lower database version executables (in this case 10.2.0.1) to perform the export and import.

  • Moving transport from Lower ERP Version to Higher ERP Version?

    Hi All,
    I got a quick question regrads to Transporting object frpm ERP 6.0 SP 13 and ERP Ehp 4.0 SP 3.
    Currently, We went Go-live with ERP 6.0 with SP13, as part of Release 1 Landsape.
    ECD ---> ECQ --> ECP
    For release 2, which is starting in few months, we are planning to Build a Project Landscape seprate from Support landsacpe.
    ECD --> ECQ
       |                  -
    >     ECP
    E2D --> E2Q
    2 = Release 2 SID name
    Our Support landscape will be on ERP 6.0 with SP 13
    and Project landscape we wanted upgrade to ERP 6.0 ehp 4.0 with SP 03. To keep the landscape consistent, whatever work we do on ECD (R1 lanscape), we would like to import to R2 E2D as well, so when we Go-Live with R2 implementation, then our DEV and QA systems will be consitent.
    My Question would, can I move/transport object from R1 (lower ERP version) to R2 (higher ERP version)?
    My answer is BIG-NO, since version and objects are differenent, all transport will fail.
    I want to hear what you Experts say about this?
    Thanks in Advance

    Can you

    Hi,
    As per your query it can be moved but you will face some issue in this, there are two type of trandport 1. workbench 2. customizing. If you want to move customizing then your abaper will check this will be transport, but workbench will have some issue due to variotion of verion. But you transport this in your new dev server and do the configuration again in new dev serve then test in your qac. The job is very tipical but its posible.

    Hi,
    About brief idea about unicode
    In the past, SAP developers used various codes to encode characters of different alphabets, for example, ASCII, EBCDI, or double-byte code pages.
    ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) encodes each character using 1 byte = 8 bit. This makes it possible to represent a maximum of 28 = 256 characters to which the combinations [00000000, 11111111] are assigned. Common code pages are, for example, ISO88591 for West European or ISO88595 for Cyrillic fonts.
    EBCDI (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange) also uses 1 byte to encode each character, which again makes it possible to represent 256 characters. EBCDIC 0697/0500 is an old IBM format that is used on AS/400 machines for West European fonts, for example.
    Double-byte code pages require 1 or 2 bytes for each character. This allows you to form 216 = 65536 combinations where usually only 10,000 - 15,000 characters are used. Double-byte code pages are, for example, SJIS for Japanese and BIG5 for traditional Chinese.
    Using these character sets, you can account for each language relevant to the SAP System. However, problems occur if you want to merge texts from different incompatible character sets in a central system. Equally, exchanging data between systems with incompatible character sets can result in unprecedented situations.
    One solution to this problem is to use a code comprising all characters used on earth. This code is called Unicode (ISO/IEC 10646) and consists of at least 16 bit = 2 bytes, alternatively of 32 bit = 4 bytes per character. Although the conversion effort for the R/3 kernel and applications is considerable, the migration to Unicode provides great benefits in the long run:
    The Internet and consequently also mySAP.com are entirely based on Unicode, which thus is a basic requirement for international competitiveness.
    Unicode allows all R/3 users to install a central R/3 System that covers all business processes worldwide.
    Companies using different distributed systems frequently want to aggregate their worldwide corporate data. Without Unicode, they would be able to do this only to a limited degree.
    With Unicode, you can use multiple languages simultaneously at a single frontend computer.
    Unicode is required for cross-application data exchange without loss of data due to incompatible character sets. One way to present documents in the World Wide Web (www) is XML, for example.
    ABAP programs must be modified wherever an explicit or implicit assumption is made with regard to the internal length of a character. As a result, a new level of abstraction is reached which makes it possible to run one and the same program both in conventional and in Unicode systems. In addition, if new characters are added to the Unicode character set, SAP can decide whether to represent these characters internally using 2 or 4 bytes.
    A Unicode-enabled ABAP program (UP) is a program in which all Unicode checks are effective. Such a program returns the same results in a non-Unicode system (NUS) as in a Unicode system (US). In order to perform the relevant syntax checks, you must activate the Unicode flag in the screens of the program and class attributes.
    In a US, you can only execute programs for which the Unicode flag is set. In future, the Unicode flag must be set for all SAP programs to enable them to run on a US. If the Unicode flag is set for a program, the syntax is checked and the program executed according to the rules described in this document, regardless of whether the system is a US or an NUS. From now on, the Unicode flag must be set for all new programs and classes that are created.
    If the Unicode flag is not set, a program can only be executed in an NUS. The syntactical and semantic changes described below do not apply to such programs. However, you can use all language extensions that have been introduced in the process of the conversion to Unicode.
    As a result of the modifications and restrictions associated with the Unicode flag, programs are executed in both Unicode and non-Unicode systems with the same semantics to a large degree. In rare cases, however, differences may occur. Programs that are designed to run on both systems therefore need to be tested on both platforms.

  • How can I gradually increase volume from lower freq to higher freq

    I did a search and did not find anything specific to this.....i found a post on how to do this from start to end of a file......but I want to do a gradual increase starting at the lower frequencies then dropping off towards the higher frequencies or vice versa....can anyone shed any light?

    If you want to change the frequency response throughout either the file, or a section of it, you have to use EQ, and the easiest way to do this is to apply it in the Multitrack view. This would mean that you could use the automation system to vary paramaters whilst the track is playing. If you don't do it this way, you'll only be able to apply a preset value to whatever selection you've made (or the whole file, if you didn't make one).
    But you don't want to use pitch bending or shifting!

  • How do I correct the arrow keys to change from lower case to higher case

    The arrow ,   shift key,  will not allow me to change from upper to lower case letters when in I Tunes.    the arrow keys seem to work in every other application.  I cannot properly enter a password  to enter I Tunes.  I reset the password from my note book and the password works.  only the I pad and I tunes are giving me fits.
    charliecache

    the pop-up box comes up just as you said. i then type in the corrected artist's name. i click 'ok', expecting the updated info to appear on the main iTunes library list
    As you have discovered, changing the info on the CD after you have RIP'd it will not change any of teh songs you RIP'd.
    If you select the CD in iTunes and update the info before you RIP the songs, they will go into iTunes with this new info.
    In addition, the CD will display this info if/when you reinsert it into this computer.
    If you only change the RIP'd songs in iTunes, they will display the updated info but if you reinsert the CD, it will display the previous info.
    Best way to do it is to rename the files on the CD before you RIP.
