Issues to be aware of when upgrading from SP1 to SP7

Dear All,
We are planning to upgrade from SP1 to SP7 of Microsoft version of SAP BPC.
Are there any major pitfalls that we should be aware of with this upgrade?
Is SP7 a stable release?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

RE: SP5 - I have been running SP5 since November. Overall it has worked well with two exceptions: It is not compatible with Japanese Windows (Fixed in SP6 onward, by enabling use of a new XceedZip version 6.5). I have a manual workaround for this which works for infrequent dimension refreshes and a low number of Japanese users to support. Also the SendGovernor fails to restart after just about every reboot (Resolved with an SSIS package that checks the status of the SendGovernor, and restarts it if it is turned off).
I am looking to SP7 so would like to hear others comments as well.

Abap issues when upgrading from 4.7 to ecc6.0

hello All,
I am posting this question with intention of general issues we face that are abap related when upgrade from 4.7 to ECC6.0,
do the programs ahve to be adjusted, if sumone cud also throw some light on what is unicode and wat role does it play in the upgrade,
some specific examples wud be appreciated
thanks,
RS

hi,
Go through this
Unicode is an international standard that assigns characters from virtually every
language and script a unique Unicode Scalar Value, which is a number written in
hexadecimal notation.
     Character     Unicode Scalar Value     Unicode Character Name
     A      U+0041          LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A
     Ä     U+00C4          LATIN CAPITAL LETTER A WITH DIAERESIS
     α     U+03B1          GREEK SMALL LATTER ALPHA
Implementing the Unicode standard enables a single software product or a single
web site to be accessed across multiple platforms, languages, and countries without
the need for re-engineering. It allows data to be transferred across many different
SAP and non-SAP systems without corruption. To meet these requirements, the SAP
Unicode team continues to promote Unicode-enabled SAP systems, aid their
installation, and provide tools and full technical support for the smooth
conversion of existing SAP non-Unicode systems to Unicode.

Best practice for Smartview when upgrading from Excel 2003 to Excel 2007?

Does anyone know the best pratice for Smartview when upgrading from Excel 2003 to Excel 2007?
Current users have Microsoft Excel 2003 with Smartview 9.3.1.2.1.003.
Computers are being upgraded to Microsoft Excel 2007.
What is the best pratice for Smartview in this situation?
1. Do nothing with Smartview and just install Excel 2007.
2. Install Excel 2007 and then uninstall and reinstall Smartview
3. Uninstall Smartview, Install Excel 2007, and then install Smartview
4. Somthing else??
Thanks!

We went with option 1 and it worked out fine. Be aware that SV processes noticeably slower in Excel 2007 than 2003. Many users were/are unhappy with the switch. We haven't tested SV v11 yet, so I'm not sure if it has improved performance with Excel 2007 or not (hopefully it does).

When upgrading from OS X lion to OS X mountain lion will it automatically uninstall OS X lion

when upgrading from OS X lion to OS X mountain lion will it automatically uninstall OS X lion?

Yes. You download Mountain Lion from the App Store and, once the download is complete, the installation of Mountain Lion will begin. You can quit it at this point and backup the "Install OS Mountain Lion.app" (which I suggest) the double-click it and begin the installation.
All remnants of Lion will be gone and you'll be running Mountain Lion.
Good luck,
Clinton

When upgrading from osx 10.7.4 to osx mountain lion I get the following Alert! This update requires OS X version 10.8.

When upgrading from osx 10.7.4 to osx mountain lion I get the following Alert! This update requires OS X version 10.8.

Sounds like you downloaded the 10.8.1 update instead of the Mountain Lion installer from the Mac App Store.
You have to purchase Mountain Lion from the App Store to get to 10.8

Serial number not valid when upgrading from LR4 to LR5 [was:leewayphotography]

J’ai acheté LR 4 il y a 1 an avec le n° de série sur la boite. J’ai acheté l’upgrade pour LR 5 et je n’ai jamais pu installer la version définitive avec ce n° de série.Ce n° de série n'est pas valide. La durée version d’essai est terminée et donc je dois retourner à LR 4 pour continuer à travailler ? Pourquoi cela ne fonctionne pas?

Bonjour.
J'ai bien compris votre réponse qu'il fallait utiliser un nouveau n° de série. J'ai bien téléchargé LR5 le 18 mars 2014, j'ai bien reçu une facture
n° IEE2014000174985 mais je n'ai pas de trace d'un nouveau n° de série. Il n'est pas sur la facture, ni dans le logiciel?
Que faut-il faire

Lost bootcamp capability when upgrading from OS X Mavericks to OS X Yosemite 10.10?

When upgrading from OS X Mavericks to OS X Yosemite 10.10 while dual booting with Windows 7 on my bootcamp partition, I can't access the Windows partition any more. When I restart my computer and hold the alt key the only drives that are shown are my Mac OS X and Recovery (usually there is the bootcamp drive there too). Does anyone have any solutions? I can still access my windows 7 files from within my Mac partition weirdly enough. And if there aren't any solutions, is bootcamp broken on Yosemite? Is it safe to redo the process and put a fresh Windows 7 or Windows 8 partition back on bootcamp again? I'm not tech savvy enough to understand all of the coding components so if you want to walk me through it you can, or just provide a simple explanation, any help is grateful. Thanks for your help.

Welcome To Discussions Dedesu!
Here is some additional info.
Tiger is available for purchase at The Apple Store (U.S.).
If you know what to look for, a Full Retail Version, of the Panther Install CDs, or a Full Retail Version, of the Tiger Install DVD, can also be purchased rather inexpensively, at some additional online Apple retailers, like Amazon, FastMac, etc, and as posted, eBay.
As also posted, be sure not to purchase grey, upgrade or machine specific CDs or DVDs. They will not work.
Panther is only on CDs, not DVDs.
Unless purchased from AppleRescue, the discs should look exactly like the images in the above links, and not say Upgrade, CPU Drop-in DVD, or "This software is part of a hardware bundle purchase - not to be sold seperately." on them.
Additional info here Using OS X Install CDs/DVDs On Multiple Macs.
Once Panther 10.3.x is installed, you can use the 10.3.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the final version.
If your Mac meets the Tiger System Requirements, you could also consider installing that, and then use the PPC 10.4.9 Combo Update, to upgrade to the current version.
Panther Install & Upgrade Hints
Additionally, "Tiger ships on a DVD, but if your Mac doesn’t have a built-in DVD-ROM player, you’ll need CD media."
AppleRescue, also sells a Tiger installation set on CD.
Shop Carefully, Examine All Documentation, And I Wish You Success!

Proxy upgrade from SP1 to SP5 doesn't work anymore for virus scanning.

Upgraded from SP1 to SP5 and the virus scanning updates no longer work. No changes have been made it is a complete carbon copy using the migrate button. No ip addresses have been altered nor has the ports been changed. I've tried SP2, 3 & 4 and they too fail with a 504 error log. I turned SP1 back on and it works first time.
If you can solve this I'll be so impressed because its driving me crazy. I've checked all config files and everything is as it should be.

Hi
This thread was interesting as I have many customer sites using virus scanning without any problems together with this proxy.. Some sites are really huge as well.
Can the author of this thread explain how the scanning that now refuse to work is done with the proxyserver... Through an API or as forwarded requests to another scanning proxy (trend micro etc.) or what ? Maybe this is done in some way I am not aware of. Then I am really interested in your problem.
We mostly use it "user->proxy->vscanner->site" where the proxy and the scanner often run at the same host. This in huge installations together with load balancers infront and behind.

Mail issues when upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion

Hello,
I'm hoping someone out there may be able to answer this question or offer some advice. I am being prompted by Apple to move over to iCloud which requires me upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion. I am extremely reluctant to do this as I have heard of problems when migrating to Lion, especially with Mail. I presently have over 30,000 emails in my inbox. These mails are divided into a multitude of folders all on my mac. I have a mac email account along with other non Apple email accounts (POP) on my Mac. These emails and the folder structure are fundamental to my work so losing any emails or even the folder structure would be disastrous for me. I have of course made a backup (2 in fact) but do like the idea of trying to rebuild everything from scratch. Any advice would be greatly welcomed. Thanks.

I'm no expert but at the moment I just woudn't do it as there appears to be lots of unexplained problems with mail and Lion. I have been a Mac user from the earliest days and have never ever had the kinds of problems I am currently having to work around since installing Lion. I wish I had stayed with Snow Leopard.

Tag issue when upgrading from PSE 7 to 11

I've upgraded from PSE 7 to 11 and the tags for people, while there, do not appear in the "people" section fo PSE11. Any suggestions on how to get them all to show?

In PSE11, people tags have been moved to People view, this view contains all people tags along with categories. In case you want to view them along with tags panel, it can be enabled through View->Show People in Tag panel.
