Migration from SAP BOBJ 3.1 SP2 to SAP BI 4.0

Hi,
Right now, we are on SAP BW 7.0 SP 20 and SAP BOBJ 3.1 SP2 and Crystal Reports 2008.
Our PROD environment has only Crystal Reports that point to SAP BW queries.
We have a future need of extending our BOBJ environment to develop some WebI reports and Explorer dashboards on an Oracle Data Mart.
We want to upgrade our SAP BOBJ 3.1SP 2 to SAP BI 4.0 . Can anyone let us know if SAP BW 7.0 SP20 is a supportable platform for SAP BI 4.0 and Crystal Reports 2011??
Thanks in advance
~Praneeth

Praneeth,
the answer is NO.
BW 7.01 SPS 06+ is the minimum version we support.with BI4.0 SP02.

Migration from SAP BC To SAP P.I

HI Experts ,
I am required to do migration from SAP BC to SAP P.I. I would require the following Info/Help from you as i have not worked on such scenario before this!
1) What kind of challenges can be faced during migration from BC to XI?
2) What is the best practise for doing the same?
3) Can you share some scenario from where i can have some idea how to do migration?
4) Generally how much time it takes in migration activity if ther are not much interfaces involved in it?
Would appreciate your valuable inputs on the same!
I have read How to guide docs on how to do migration from BC to XI but not convinced with the content
Regards
Saras Jain

Hi Saras,
I am giving you an example senario and a how to do all the steps and why it needed. if you need more information just mail me i'll give you the concerned PDF.
Scenario
SAP Business Connector enables data exchange between an SAP system and
external systems using HTTP and e-mail. SAP Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI)
replaces SAP Business Connector (SAP BC).
We distinguish between standard scenarios (that do not contain customer-specific
development) and individual scenarios (that do contain services or mappings created
by the customer). The following sections describe how to migrate both types of
scenarios to SAP XI.
Scenario 1 (IDoc HTTP, HTTP IDoc)
An SAP system sends an IDoc to SAP BC or to SAP XI. The IDoc is converted to
XML. It is sent to an external business partner by using HTTP.
An external business partner sends an XML document by using HTTP to SAP BC or
to SAP XI. The document is converted to an IDoc and sent to a connected SAP
system in the internal system landscape.
Scenario 2 (IDoc Mail, Mail IDoc)
An SAP system sends an IDoc to SAP BC or to SAP XI. The IDoc is converted to
XML. It is sent to an external business partner as an e-mail.
An external business partner sends an e-mail to SAP BC or to SAP XI. The
document is converted to an IDoc and sent to a connected SAP system in the
internal system landscape.
Flow Services
Flow services are services that are written in the proprietary graphical-based flow
language of SAP BC.
Java Services
Java services are services that are written in the Java language.
There are several platforms that support Java, including SAP XI. However, the data
model used in the Java services in SAP BC is proprietary.
Stylesheet Transformations
Stylesheet transformations are often used for mapping purposes. They take an XML
document as input, convert it according to rules defined in the stylesheet, which is
also an XML document, and produce an XML document as output.
The XML Stylesheet Transformation Language (XSLT) was defined by W3C (World
Wide Web Consortium), the consortium that defines most of the common standards in modern internet communication, such as HTML and SOAP.
SAP NetWeaver is the open integration and application platform from SAP. With
NetWeaver 04, there is a significant overlap between the functions of SAP
NetWeaver and SAP BC. Many functions provided by SAP BC are offered by SAP XI
as part of SAP NetWeaver, for example, conversion of an IDoc to an XML message,
mapping, routing, and adapters to connect to a large number of third-party back-end
systems. SAP BC is therefore no longer needed. New or updated SAP solutions are
based on SAP NetWeaver. Customers looking for a strategic integration solution for
the complete application landscape should therefore now favor SAP NetWeaver.
The last version of SAP BC was SAP BC 4.7, which was released in June 2003. SAP
BC has not been developed further since this release. SAP BC is not released for
any further platforms (such as Windows 2003) and does not support any further JDK
versions, including the current version (Version 1.4).
For information about the supported SAP BC versions, JDKs, and operating systems,
see SAP Note 309834. For information about the support and maintenance strategy
for SAP BC, see SAP Note 571530. Customers who still use SAP BC need to be
aware of the following:
A solution based on SAP BC cannot be a strategic, long-term solution.
A solution based on SAP BC is based on technology that was implemented in
2003 and that is no longer further developed.
SAP BC is supported on limited platforms and for limited JDKs only. Vendor
support for some of these platforms and JDK versions will soon be
discontinued.
SAP BC and SAP NetWeaver are based on different technologies: SAP BC is based
on webMethods proprietary Integration Server, whereas SAP NetWeaver is based
on open standards, such as BPEL4WS (business process execution language for
web services). Therefore, only parts of an SAP BC implementation, such as XSLT
mappings, can be migrated to a solution based on SAP NetWeaver. Any custom
programming based on SAP BC, such as SAP BC flow language, is unlikely to be
reusable in the SAP NetWeaver context.
Purpose of this Migration Guide
The purpose of this migration guide is to provide scenario-based descriptions of the
migration from a companys system landscape that uses SAP BC to exchange
documents with business partners, to a system landscape that uses SAP XI instead.
This migration guide outlines, for certain scenarios, the individual steps a company
has to take to replace an existing SAP BC implementation with SAP XI.
The basic steps in the back-end systems are:
Defining the logical systems
Maintaining the ALE distribution model
Maintaining partner profiles and EDI ports
Maintaining RFC destinations
The basic steps in the SAP XI system are:
Maintaining the System Landscape Directory
Configuring the IDoc adapter
Maintaining the receiver determinations, interface determinations, and
interface agreements
Maintaining the communication channels
The type of scenario to migrate typically has an impact on the communication channels only.
Scenario 1 IDoc/HTTP
IDoc HTTP Using SAP BC
Within the system landscape of a company, an SAP system sends an IDoc
asynchronously to SAP BC. SAP BC converts the IDoc into a standard IDoc XML
document. The fields of the IDoc are not modified, that is, the conversion does not
involve any mapping of source fields to target fields. After conversion, SAP BC uses
HTTP to send the XML document synchronously to an external URL of a business
partner.
System Landscape
An SAP system and SAP BC are installed within the same system landscape
of a company.
The following information is defined in the SAP system to allow data
exchange between the SAP system and SAP BC:
o An RFC destination and a logical system for SAP BC
o The distribution model is maintained, if necessary
The following information is defined in SAP BC:
o An SAP server with an alias is defined. For this SAP server, the
information that the SAP BC requires to connect to the SAP system is
specified.
o A listener is configured to listen to requests from the SAP system.
o A routing rule with the transport type XML is configured for the
specific sender, receiver, and message type. The routing rule
determines how a message is to be routed and where it is to be routed
to. The scenario described does not use an ACL, (Access Control List
to restrict execution permissions for this routing rule) or pre-processing
or post-processing SAP BC services.
4.2 IDoc HTTP Using SAP XI
Check the prerequisites described above under Prerequisites for Standard
Scenarios.
The IDoc adapter is used to receive an IDoc from an SAP back-end system and
convert it to XML.
The adapter used to post this XML to an external destination is the plain HTTP
adapter.
To set up the communication channel, perform the following steps:
1. Locate the routing rule in SAP
Business Connector.
In the Administration View, choose
Adapters Routing to navigate to
Routing Rules.
2. Select the details of the relevant routing rule.
To display the details, choose the green triangle (Edit).
Transport is typically set to XML and a URL is specified. You can use this
URL in your SAP XI settings.In some cases, Transport is set to
B2B Service and the parameters Server Alias, Folder and Service
exist. This is the same as when Transport is set to XML and has the
URL http://<serverhost>:<port>/invoke/<folder>/<service>.
You can find <serverhost> and<port> in the definition of the
remote server under Settings >Remote Server in the Administration
View.
3. Set up the communication channel in the Integration Directory using the parameters from the SAP BC routing rule.
Use the following settings:
Adapter Type: HTTP Receiver
Transport Protocol: HTTP 1.0
Message Protocol: XI Payload in HTTP Body
Adapter Engine: Integration Server
Addressing Type: URL Address
Target Host, Service Number,and Path need to be set in accordance with the SAP BC routing rule. HTTP Proxy Host and HTTP Proxy
Port can be set if required.All other parameters have no corresponding values in SAP BC and should be set to their default values.

Data migration from SAP to Oracle

Can any one suggest best possible method for migrating master and transactional data from SAP to Oracle.
Please suggest methods to get data in text file from SAP.

Best approach would be to use Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) outbound from SAP inbound to Oracle. There are two widely used standards in EDI messages - ANSI X12 and EDIFACT; I'm pretty sure the Oracle system will be able to accept one of the two standards or both.
In my last message, when I asked if Oracle is able to receive and process IDocs, I actually meant if Oracle will be able to accept and process EDI messages. IDocs are containers of the EDI message i.e. a data container - their formats are SAP proprietary formats which will not make sense to your target system (Oracle). EDI has been around for many years and is the standard way of electronically exchanging business documents between computer systems of business partners, using a standard format over a communication network.
In regards to your question - I'm not really sure if you want to send master/transactional data real-time from SAP to Oracle or want to transfer the historical data i.e. download from SAP tables (thru SE16 - this will download the field labels as well) into text files and then upload it to Oracle by using a custom program which reads/maps the files then posts the transactional data/updates master data tables in Oracle as required by that system. So let me know as much details as possible.
It would be nice to show appreciation by rewarding points.
Cheers,
Sougata.

Which one is the best way in migration from sap bpc ms 5.1 to nw7.5

Hi,
I am doing Migration project from SAP BPC MS to NW.
In this which one is the best way migrating By manually or By using SAP Migration tool.
What are the merits and demarits migrating by manually.
The data is moving from MS to NW as it is by using sap migration tool.
Could you please answer my questions as early as possible.

Hi,
You would need manual effort anyways. Some of the objects are not either migrated or you need to update manually after the migration. Example, reports have to be modifed and as they may not work due to some of the options.
Also your packages, script logic etc have to recreated. So its upto you as the migration toosl takes across your appset, applications, dimensions and the master data etc. The manual involvement is inevitable. You need to probably take what the tool allows you to do and make manual corrections for the objects that are not supported.
Thanks,
Sreeni

Migrating from SAP BW 7.0 to SAP BW 7.4 on HANA

Hi Gurus
At present we are having a SAP BW 7.0 system on oracle database. We are planning to move it to HANA. as part of pre-requisites we need to upgrade the BW system to BW 7.3/7.4..After looking up various approaches, we have decided to re-implement BW 7.4 on sap HANA. so we have 2 distinct SAP BW systems - one on Oracle ( Up and running ) and 2nd on SAP HANA (newly build).
Some of the critical flows will be rebuild in the new server. Just wanted to know that is it possible to transport the flow completely from SAP BW 7.0 on oracle db system to BW 7.4 on HANA db system with the help of a Transport Request ??
Would you please advise any restrictions or limitations with any functionalities not being operational on newer version on HANA. and whats the best approach to transport and do we need to do any work at DB level ?
Thanks
Kris

Hi,
See the BW on HANA - Migration Best Practice TechEd 2014 Las Vegas/Berlin - ITM206
and the SAP First Guidance Document - SAP First Guidance - Migration BW on HANA using the DMO option in SUM

Migrating from SAP DMS to File Server

Hi,
Our client is currently using the SAP DMS to store documents for the EHS module. This has brought with it lot of handicaps.. primarily the huge size of the database. There is an initiative now to move from SAP DMS to a file server where the files would be physically stored whereas the linking would be made via SAP EHS module.
This effectively means that the things would remain as they were.. only that the specifications in EHS would now be pointing to a new location for its documents.
My question is whether this is a techinallly feasible solution and second how should the migration be done. keeping in mind that the linkages should be kept intact.
Suggestions are solicited... points are guaranteed.
Thanks!
Aviroop

Hi Aviroop,
Got any idea about how File server works with DMS ?
I am in urgent need for details about the file server functionality and configuration.
Can I use a sharepoint site (internet site0 as a file server?
Pls send me some documents regarding this to my mail id [email protected]
Thanks in advance and warm regards

How to migrate from SAP content server to OPENTEXT?

We have been using SAP content server as our storage for archived data for years.
Now we plan to start using OPENTEXT to admin our archived data.
How can we use OPENTEXT together with existing SAP content server?
My idea is to treat content server as any other media as as DVD, WORM, etc.
However, I do not see that OPENTEXT can be configured to admin content server .
If so, how to transfer whatever on the content server to IXOS?
We are at Opentext 9.5.x
Please share your experience. Thanks!

hi,
Please refere SNote 1043676.
Also, need to understand the following,
How to move an entire content repository from one content server to another
Sometimes you may need to move a content repository - but not necessarily all the content repositories from one content server to another. This can be done without much drama. Here is a means that I've used in the past:
Use report RSCMSEX to export the repository from the source content server.
Create a repository of the same name on the target content server.
Use Report RSCMSIM to import the repository into the target content server.
Delete the repository from the source content server (if desired!).
The SAP progrm sapkprotp controls the import and export. The ABAP reports allow you to specify the RFC destinations where sapkrpotp runs.
For lager repositories
The programs listed above cannot deal with the whole content repository at the same time. For a slower migration, try using the program RSIRPIRL. This approach allows you to do the migation on a live system.
Create the new content repository on your new content server.
Create the new content category.
If using distribution, distribute the new documents to the new category. otherwise change redirected category for DMS_C1_ST
Relocate using the program.

Migration from SAP 4.7 to ECC 6.0

Hi Friends,
We are currently using 4.7 version and we are moving to ECC 6.0(it's not an upgrade project, we are building a new system). We have some workflow templates in 4.7 and we want to migrate it to ECC 6.0. What is the best practice for this. If we save the existing workflow templates and BOR objects in 4.7 in a transport request and move this transport request to ECC 6.0 system will it work? or do we need to create the entire workflow template again in 6.0? Keep in mind that we are not doing the upgrade here. Please advice.

Hi,
It better download a XML file (from 4.7) and upload it in the ECC 6.0
In Menu, Workflow > Import/Export> Export to Xml file (in 4.7)
Workflow > Import/Export> Import from Xml file (in ECC)
If you did any customizing in the BO, copy it manually, Because in the ECC the Most of BO are enhanced some attributes & method are included in the std.

Upgradation from SAP CRM 5.0 GUI/PCUI to SAP CRM Ehp3

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement to upgrade SAP CRM 5.0 to SAP CRM Ehp3.
We can do the technical adjustment by using tcode SPDD and SPAU.
But how we can migrate from SAP GUI and PCUI screens to SAP WebUi screens ?
Please tell me all the upgradation steps and challenges to upgrade from GUI/PCUI screens to Webui.
Thanks & Regards,
Akhilesh Bhagat.

It's a tedious manual process to re-implement all your customizations over to the Webclient. I will say if you were good and kept business logic in BADI's then all you need to worry about is screen customizations. If not and you were like many folks, you are going to have to recode everything.
I did this about five years ago from CRM 4.0 to CRM 5.2(the first CRM release with webclient) and if you look at the content under my profile with way older blogs, you can find some of my commentary on doing this.
For EHP3, you need to learn/love/embrace the AET. You are also going to need to learn the SAP Web Client stuff ASAP. The great part for you is SAP offer classes or there is a book or two on it. You don't have to learn it from lean documentation like I did.
I disagree with the system reimplementation comment. There is no need to throw out your CRM instance. That's why we have upgrades. Keep your system, but reimplement the code in the SAP Web Client Logic. The great part is since you are coming from 5.0 -> EHP3 it's going to be like having a new CRM system again, as all the parts that need to be enhanced don't exist in your 5.0 box and that section of the upgrade system will look like a brand new system(at least that's how my 5.2 box looked like coming form 4.0).
Take care,
Stephen

Migration from Solaris Sparc server to Solaris x86

Hi ,
I would like to know.
Migration from SAP ECC6 , Oracle , Solaris Sparc to Ecc6, Oracle, Solaris x86 , Is this consider Heterogeneous or Homogeneous system copy?
Thanks.
Best Regards,
ck chai

Solaris on SPARC is a BIgEndian platform, Solaris on X86 is LittleEndian - so it's heterogeneous --> you need to use R3load to performa a migration - and you need to have a certified migration consultant on-site to do that migration (http://service.sap.com/osdbmigration --> FAQ).
