LSMW - Upgrade Technical 4.7 to ECC 6.0

Hi All,
I am studying / researching ways to optimize the migration process of master data in the case of scenario of SAP version.
Anybody have any experience to share about the use of a scenario of LSMW upgrade of version? Or, hints to optimize the scenario.
Thanks
Regard
Rafael Aires

There is no impact, the projects can still be used if you don't migrate to Unicode at the same time.

  • 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

  • Upgradation from 4.6C to ECC  6.0

    Dear All,
    I have worked on a upgrade project from 4.6C to ECC 6.0.
    I am in the process of maintaining documents for the project. I am just planning to maintain a repository for all the relevant documents.
    I feel that it will act as a useful document for all the consultants involved in upgradation.
    Right now I am engaged in documenting the issues involved with upgradation- Technical and Functional.
    I will collate all the docs and send a copy to all the major contributors. Your contribution is solicited
    Regards,
    Rakesh

    Dear Rakesh,
    Hi, I am Albert from Philippines, and is involved in the 4.6C to ECC6 upgrade as of this writing.
    I am new to SAP--my first two posts here might sound silly to most SAP gurus
    I would appreciate if you could send your documents on the upgrade. Those will really help me.
    Thank you very much in advance.
    Regards,
    Albert

  • 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,
    Subbu

    Hi,
    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.
    Good Luck

    Hi
              I need the Roles of  Functional Consultant and Technical Consultant in upgradation from 4.6b to ECC 6.0.
    Thanks
    Anto

    Dear Anto,
    In Technical SAP,Upgrade from 4.6 to 6.0- the role of any fucntional consultant would involved integrated with the technical Consultant.
    The phase starts with the technical Patches apply to the latest stack level which will done by the BASIS Consultants.
    Once the System preparation is happened, the next phase is with SPDD phase, Thru this transaction the dictionary Objects-Database elements, database tables and structures of teh latest system can be
    compared with the old system.
    This results in the version modification results between the old and New versions. During this phase the involvement of the Functional Consultant needed for the tech guy, to identify the functional chnages between the two version (Old and New). Which helps for him either to Reset to Original(ie., adopting the new one) or Adopt Modification in previous system(ie., adopting to older functionality)
    Once this is done, the System Upgradation will be done by the BASI, the system will be replaced with new system. At teh end of this phase SPAU phase starts, which inturn reults with version difference in the field namely, Programs, Reports, Screens, Messages, Notes an Function Modules. Here too the involvement of functional consultant neede to determine either reset to original or to go with Adopt modification from the older design, as explained earlier.
    At teh end of the, moreover the functional consultant role involved in testing the Entire processes and transactoin in the system for system dump and bugs, in necessity to correct teh same and results with nil errors in production client.
    Also the Zprograms invloved in the older versions, needs to be examined for the actual need, and to be justified with adoption in the newer version or by adopting to the updated functionality in the newer version.
    Hope this may give better clarity in the involvement of the Functional Consultant in the Updgrade project.

    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.

  • 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.
    Regards,
    Pranaya
