Migration R/3 - mySAP
Hi,
I need information about migration (tools, possibilities...) SAP R/3 to mySAP. I can't found any usefully documentation about it. Did anyone know resources about documentation of migration?
thanks
mike
Sure...
What do you need in particular ?
Basically, there is no specific issue (but you have to consider all the "normal" elements you have to manage when you go for a source system upgrade !)
Let me know if you need more help...
Bye,
Roberto

SAP EH&S 4.6C Migration to SAP ECC6
Hi All,
We are having separate SAP R/3 instance for EH&S module (4.6C system). The transactions system is SAP R/3 4.7 system and is due for ECC6 upgrade. Just want to know
1. Has anything changed in EHS module from 4.7 to ECC6. If yes, what?
2. if we migrate the EH&S functionality from the separate instance for EHS to transactional system in ECC6 / 4.7 R/3 system - will it get affected.
3. What will be the best time to do the migration of EHS data to transactional system (before or after upgrade). We are using specifications, active phrase libraries, reports, report templates and report generation variants and WWI server for MSDS.
Request your help. Thanks
PS: Even partial answers will also help a lot.

Migration Key - How to Open a CSS Message
Hi Team,
We got the discovery system and asked SAP to get us a separate licence for mySAP ERP 2005. We got the CD-DVD's and SAP says that we can generate the licence key from the service marketplace. Now in the installation guide, it is mentioned that we should get the migration key by using CSS and opening a message in CSS Component: CA-SOA-DS. When I go the tab "Report Product Error" in CSS, the table control which displays the systems is still blank. I cannot go to the next step and open a message to request migration key. We really don't want to install the CD-DVD's on a separate server. We just want to get the discovery system up and running and it looks like without the migration key we can't proceed further.
Questions:
1) How do I start a CSS message without the system number getting displayed in the service marketplace. I have the installation number etc with me.
2) Do we have to install and run something else prior to asking for migration key?
Please respond as this is causing problems. Your help will be much appreciated.
ThanksHi Sachin,
I'll try to shine some light on the topic you brought up.
The Discovery System is shipped already pre-installed on the hardware. Thus there are no CD-DVD's that would allow installation on a seperate system. It follows the concept of an appliance.
To license it you need to have a valid license for SAP ERP on MS SQL. This is the installation number you will need to request the license key from Service Marketplace. If you don't have that in place (no license or on different DB) please contact your SAP counterpart.
Following the steps in the Quick Guide (https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b22d4e44-0e01-0010-ffa4-fe9c59939e5e) in sequence should guide you through all the necessary activities.
Hope that helps,

Pre and post-upgrade tasks in BW for Upgrading R/3 4.6c to mySAP ECC 5.0
We are currently in the process of migrating our R/3 4.6c System to mySAP ECC 5.0.
We would appreciate if anyone could provide the major and minor
Changes / impacts / measures, to be taken in BW side.
<u><b>Questions:</b></u>
1. What are the major impacts on the extractors, mainly delta?
2. Do we need to activate all the datasource immaterial of its status?
3. Steps to be taken for Unicode conversion
4. Routines and structure change if any?
5. Is there any change in DDIC objects?
6. Any old methods that can be replaced by new methods? (for better performance e.g, LIS was replaced by LO)
7. Changes in the database.
8. Anyother issues
Any relevant document will be helpful.
Thanks & Regards
Chandran GanesanIt depends on what you are taking about: functional or Technical.
Tehcnially, after the upgrade you should make sure all the PI are working fine. The other things (i.e. extract)should be able keep the same. Unless you want to take advantage of the new WAS640 functionaity.
If you plan to migrate your BW system into ECC 5.0, you might have long way to go.
Also, depends on your BW release. If it's BW 3.1 or below, you might need to upgrade by end of this year anyway. -
Hi,
what kind of data conversion/migration are we looking in plant maintenance and inventory management?
Regards,
VijayDear Vijay Srikanth,
I think you are asking for all such activities in Plant Maintenance which can be automated using some data conversion / data migration programs. Where by the user will just upload his data and the activity is achieved by the program. Please refer to the following documentation and search for the term 'Activites in Plant Maintenance'.

Data Structure for New General Ledger for mySAP 2004
Guys,
We are preparing to upgrade to mySAP 2004.
mySAP 2004 doesn't have data migration tool for upgrade "classic" ledger to new ledger with advanced functionality. To utilize all new functionality, data should be migrated to the new ledger. Data migration tool in this case should be developed (ABAP). What is the difference in data structure of new ledger?
if anybody who already went thru upgrade and could share some examples of programs for mySAP 2004 upgrade, my e-mail : [email protected]
Thanks in advance,
MikeNow I have the same problem. Anyone has a solution for this matter?

SAP Accelarated Data migration
Hi All,
Could someone kindly provide more info about SAP ADM. I am uanble to get any info about the same. I would like to understand as to how exactly the tool works. I have the 4 page PDF that is posted on the site but its not clear on the actual tool. Can someone kindly provide me with some document or screen shots or any more info about it. My mail id is [email protected] Could someone kindly reply at the earliest.
Thanks
PrahladHi Prahlad,
Go through this hope u can understand.
With SAP Accelerated Data Migration, you can reduce migration
costs by as much as 50% and avoid interruption of business
processes. Moreover, shutting down the source system after
migration reduces system administration costs and total cost
of operations. In short, you realize the following benefits:
Significantly reduced cost and time to complete migration
projects
Accurate, cost-effective data transfer applicable for any kind
of source system
Better data quality because of preconfigured business objects
that ensure data consistency
Improved end-user productivity and acceptance thanks to
migration of historical data
Effective migration that avoids interruption of business
processes
Full support services to avoid risks and ensure the optimum
performance of your new business applications
Faster return on investment
In short, a smoother, more cost-effective migration to a new
technology solution ultimately positions your organization
to lower your total cost of ownership, maintain competitive
advantage, and pursue new business opportunities.
Expertise in Action
SAP Accelerated Data Migration applies a business objectoriented,
two-step approach that uses a neutral interface as a staging area
and predefined migration content for the conversion and upload
of data. The neutral interface enables the SAP tool to generate
predefined migration content and prevents all potential legal
issues regarding the intellectual property of any source-system
vendor. The whole data migration process from the source to
the target system consists of just two steps, as follows:
1. Data is extracted from the source system into the standard
interface as XML files.
2. Data migrates from the interface into the mySAP Business
Suite database. The migration is based on a new migration
workbench engine developed by SAP based on the SAP
NetWeaver® platform. All requirements for mapping structures
and fields and developing complex conversion rules are solved
within this engine (see Figure 1).
Once the migration is complete, business-unit end users have
access to all the legacy data in the new applications as if it had
originated there. They can continue to work on the existing
business process items in the new applications and benefit from
improved functionality.
Lifting the Limitations
Much of the cost and effort involved in classical data migrations
are generated by migration content development, as follows:
Identifying business objects for migration to properly support
the business
Defining the structure and field mapping for the relevant
business objects
Developing conversion rules for all necessary value mapping
Readily available migration content can simplify this effort.
SAP Accelerated Data Migration provides preconfigured business
content, helping you migrate it to your new system more efficiently
and rapidly. The tool allows the migration of all types of
data, independent of its current state within a business process.
This includes master and dynamic data, as well as partially
processed and historical data, to minimize data loss. Business
processes are uninterrupted and normal operation procedures
can be retained.
By providing a standard, neutral interface and reading data as an
XML file, SAP Accelerated Data Migration is applicable for any
kind of source system. Preconfigured data migration objects built
specifically for SAP applications significantly simplify the conversion
from non-SAP software data into SAP software data objects,
yielding far-reaching benefits. Besides reducing related IT costs,
you can be certain of consistency across business-object boundaries.
Through a direct insert into the database, you avoid the
performance limitations of classical data migration.

I wander how to perform migration of FI-CA (ECC6.0) system from an HP-UX to Linux Redhat on VMware. It is an system with Oracle database
The amount of data is 1,5 TB. What would be the (aprox) time for export.
Where could I find guide for heterogeneous system copy to perform that?Eric,
That is not an issue for us. Oracle is now supported in production on VMware (excluding RAC). A new OSS note was generate ~ a couple of weeks ago.:
SAP Note 1173954 - Support of Oracle for VMWare
Note Language: English Version: 6 Validity: Valid Since 13.01.2010
Summary
Symptom
You plan to use VMware with SAP Products with the Oracle Database.
This note decribes Oracle's official support policy for VMware in SAP
environments.
More Terms
VMware, Linux, Windows, RAC
Cause and Prerequisites
You encounter a problem with the Oracle single instance database (no RAC)
with SAP running in a VMware virtualized environment on the Windows or
Linux OS platform.
For SAP with Oracle in VMware virtualized environments please consider the
following additional prerequisites:
o Oracle 10.2.0.4 and higher (no Oracle 10.2.0.2, no Oracle 10.2.0.3,
no Oracle 9.2.x)
o Only Oracle single instance, no support for Oracle RAC
o minimum recommended Windows OS: Microsoft Windows Server 2008
o VMware ESX 3.5 and higher will be supported (includes VMware vSpere
v4)
o Every customer opening SAP support calls needs to clearly signal in
the first line of the message text that they are using a
virtualized environment using VMware.
Solution
Oracle has not certified any of its products on VMware virtualized
environments. Oracle Support will assist customers running Oracle databases
on VMware in the following manner:
Oracle will only provide support for issues that either are known to occur
on the native OS, or can be demonstrated not to be as a result of running
on VMware.
If a problem is a known Oracle issue, Oracle Support will recommend the
appropriate solution on the native OS. When the customer can demonstrate
that the Oracle solution does not work when running on the native OS,
Oracle will resume support, including logging a bug with Oracle Development
for investigation if required.
If the problem is determined not to be a known Oracle issue, the problem
will be forwarded to VMware for support. When the customer can demonstrate
that the issue occurs when running on the native OS, Oracle will resume
support.
The above solution description is in line with the context of Oracle

R/3 Enterprise migration required to migrate EP 6.0 SP2?
We currently have R/3 Entprise Core 4.7 installed, w/Ext Set 1.10, and are running Enterprise Portal 6.0 SP2 with the J2EE 6.20 Engine.
Can we install Netweaver 2004s and migrate EP 6.0 SP2 to the current release (in order to take advantage of the Web Dynpro for ABAP and Visual Compose tools) without migrating R/3 Enterprise to mySAP ERP?
Thanks,
PaulHi Paul,
You can upgrade the portal with out upgrading the R/3 enterprise. Note, that you can't go directly from EP6 sp2 to NW 2004s. You have to migrate to NW04 and then perform the upgrade to NW 2004s. Check the portal migration home page at http://service.sap.com/nw-epmig
Good Luck,

Migration to ECC and BW in one instance
Hello,
a customer has the ERP part on 4.6c and a BW on 3.1.
Is there a standard migration path to ECC 5.0 with an internal BW on netweaver 04?
Is it possible to first upgrade the BW system on a separate instance and later migrate it into the upgraded ERP ECC 5.0 system, so that there is only one instance at the end?
Thanks for help!
MatthiasHi Magesh,
mySAP ERP 2004 is a new ERP solution from SAP.
It divided into variuos software components. Basically you can divide mySAP ERP 2004 into 3 types of components
1) ABAP Components
2) JAVA Components
3) Additional Components
SAP ECC 5.0 is one of the ABAP Components. The ECC consists of the ECC application and the ABAP SAP Web Application Server 640. The plug-ins are an integral part, which are used to connect for example to SAP BW. It consists of the following S/W Components
EA-IPPE 300PI
EA-RETAIL 500
EA-PS 500
EA-HR 500
EA-GLTRADE 500
EA-FINSERV 500
EA-DFPS 500

Differences in Depreciation key table structure between SAP 4.5b and mySAP
Depreciation keys in SAP 4.5b were stored in a different table structure to depreciation keys stored in mySAP ERP 2005. Deprecation Keys that existed before the SAP upgrade still exist in the old set of tables; these have a status of Migrated in SAP. Any new or modified depreciation keys will only be reflected in the new set of tables; these have a status of Active. Of course, there is a third Depreciation Key status, Inactive, which means that it is not in use.
There doesnt seem to be any documentation on the mapping between these tables. I need this in order to update our custom reports.
Can anyone help?

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.
Hope this would add some more info.

Basis
Alignment of SAP BW objects within your SAP BW system landscape Check and, where required, re-align SAP BW Objects and developments in your SAP BW system landscape (Development, Quality Assurance and Production).
SAP BW Object differences can impact the quality of testing in the Development and Test environment and can lead to change management issues.
This check is to minimize risk and ensure productive objects are being tested prior to the Production upgrade.
Where alignment issues exist and realignment is not possible, alternative testing plans should be devised.
Basis/BW
Confirm all developments are deployed. Ensure that all SAP BW developments are deployed or they are to be re-developed/tested after the upgrade.
In the DEV system, all SAP BW development transports should be released (i.e. transport created and released) and imported to all downstream systems (i.e. QAS and PRD systems).
For SAP BW developments not already collected in the transport collector, a decision must be made:
Deploy the developments or wait until the upgrade has completed to deploy.
o Development to be deployed should be collected, released, and imported into the QAS and PRD systems.
o Developments that should be deployed after the upgrade should be re-tested/re-developed after the upgrade.
In the QAS or PRD systems, ensure that all SAP BW development transports have been imported prior to the upgrade.

Implement BI 7.0 Business Explorer Frontend Install, evaluate, test and distribute the new BI 7.0 Business Explorer Frontend.
Basis/BW
Pre-upgrade Process:
Download required BI 7.0 support package Stack for inclusion in the upgrade Determine the equivalent support package level of the source SAP BW release and the target SAP BW release.
There is a minimum requirement that you upgrade to at least the equivalent support package level on the target SAP BW release so that you do not lose functionality, corrections, and data.
It is recommended to upgrade to the latest version of all support packages during the upgrade via the upgradeu2019s support package binding functionality.
BI 7.0 Support Packages are delivered via SAP NetWeaver u201904 Support Package stacks (SP-Stacks). It is not recommended to partially apply some of the SP-Stacksu2019 individual support packages. You should apply all of the SP-Stacks support packages at once.
For more information on the SP-Stacks and SAP NetWeaver SP-Stacks, please see the SAP service marketplace alias SP-Stacks (http://service.sap.com/sp-stacks)
You should also review, download, and bind in support packages for all add-on components that are installed on SAP BW and will be upgraded during the SAP BW upgrade (e.g. SEM-BW, ST-PI, etc)
Basis
Apply latest Support Package tool patch Apply latest SPAM patch before executing PREPARE Basis
Validate the SAP BW (ABAP) Data Dictionary and the Database Data Dictionary for consistency Check Database consistency
Transaction DB02:
o Execute ABAP SAP_UPDATE_DBDIFF and re-execute DB02 check. This gives a truer view of the SAP BW objects in DB02.
o Check missing database objects (indices, tables, etc)
o Missing indices may identify erred data loads or process problems
Tip: Missing indices on InfoCubes can be restored by RSRV or ABAP SAP_INFOCUBE_INDEXES_REPAIR
Note: check for running data loads before executing a repair!
o Check DDIC/DB consistency
Verify database objects and consistency
(e.g. SAPDBA check for offline data files)
BW
Remove unnecessary SAP BW temporary database objects Delete all SAP BW temporary database objects:
Execute routine housekeeping ABAP SAP_DROP_TMPTABLES.
This reduces the numbers of database objects that need to be copied during the upgrade.
Note: take care not to delete objects that are in use as this will cause queries, compressions, etc to terminate.
BW
Validate your SAP BW Objects for correctness prior to your upgrade Using the SAP BW Analysis Tool (transaction RSRV), perform extensive tests on all important SAP BW Objects to ensure their correctness prior to the upgrade.
Note: this test should be repeatable so you can re-validate after the upgrade!
Ensure that any inconsistencies are identified and corrected
RSRV has a number of extensive tests and if all checks are executed will consume a large amount of time. Multiple tests can be performed in parallel.
Tip: Some corrections in development can be deployed to other systems via transport in advance of the next upgrade.
BW
Ensure DB Statistics are up to date prior to the upgrade Check DB statistics for all tables.
Tables without statistics, especially system tables, can seriously impact upgrade runtimes.
Check DB statistics for missing Indexes for InfoCubes and Aggregates
o User transaction RSRV to check BW
Check SAP BW Support Package status Check the status of all support packages (via transaction SPAM)
Ensure the Support Package queue is empty
Confirm all applied Support Packages Basis
Check all u2018Repairsu2019 Check for unreleased repair transports
Release all unreleased transports
In your QAS and PRD system, check if all repair transports have been imported (i.e. systems are aligned)
Import missing repair transports into down stream systems. This will avoid differing message and/or errors during the upgrade.
BW
Check InfoObject status Check for revised (modified) InfoObjects that have not been activated.
All InfoObjects should be active or saved (not activate):
o Check all inactive InfoObjects:
Transaction RSD1 (Edit InfoObjects),
click on u201CAll InfoObjectsu201D radio button and click the u201CDisplayu201D button.
Modified InfoObjects are denoted by yellow triangles!
o Determine if revision should be activated or removed.
'Reorgu2019 or u2018Repairu2019 all InfoObjects
This checks and repairs any discrepancies in the InfoObject definition and structures. It is common to have obsolete DDIC and table entries for InfoObjects after multiple upgrades and definition changes. These obsolete entries normally do not effect normal SAP BW operations.

Remove unnecessary SAP BW temporary database objects Delete all SAP BW temporary database objects:
Execute routine housekeeping ABAP SAP_DROP_TMPTABLES.
For more information see SAP note 308533 (2.x) and 449891 (3.x).
This reduces the numbers of database objects that need to be copied during the upgrade.
Note: take care not to delete objects that are in use as this will cause queries, compressions, etc to terminate.
Basis/BW
Backups! Before executing the upgrade, ensure that you have a backup strategy in place so you can return to the point where loading was completed and the upgrade started.
Ensuring you can return to a consistent point in time (without having to handle rollback or repeats of data loads) is key to having a successful fallback plan.

4.6B Migration+Upgrade - ECC6 Discussion
We will be upgrading from 4.6b on a Windows/SQLServer platform to ECC6.0 on a Unix/DB2 platform. The first step in this process is a migration to the new OS and RDBMS.
I would like to discuss the potential pitfalls of the migration to Unix and DB2 here. Perhaps you've been through this process and can give me some input on what to watch out for? I already know of a number of things that will break due to EXEC SQL use.
