Migration to Release 11 or 11i from bespoke system

We have previously built a bespoke Sales Ledger application and are now looking to transfer the data to Oracle Receivables . Can anyone advise on a stratgey for this exercise and also any steps involved. I have read through the Open Interface Manual but would welcome advise from people that have been down this path already - Many Thanks

Your present application will typically have the following:
1) Customer data
2) Customer orders
3) Customer invoices
4) Customer receipts
Now it is for you to decide whether to move all data or move 1 & 2 and process the rest using OA. This requires a cost benifit analysis. Let us look at some of the guidelines for both the cases.
If we move the entire data using conversions and interface programs, then we should not create any trasactions in apps, as the systems will not be in sync.
If we move all our customers, existing orders, invoices, receipts from legacy application before the live date using a conversion programs. Then we should discard the legacy system and start using the OA from a cut off date. This requires lot of preparation before we go live.
A detailed discussion was taken up here to make it brief.

Has anyone used Migration Assistant to move services from one system running Server to a new system?

So, I've purchased a Mac mini to replace my aging Mid 2009 mini on which I've been running Mavericks Server. In trying to answer the question of how best to move services from the old machine to the new, I've stumbled into the fact that Migration Assistant can apparently migrate not just user data for workstations and laptops, but also service data for servers. The problem is there isn't much detail in the docs about how good a job it does when going from one machine to another without changing OS releases. There's a very detailed document in the KB about going from older versions of Server to new (OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Lion Server or Snow Leopard Server) and a general doc on migrating from another Mac under Mavericks (OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks) but that has no details about Server.
Has anyone used Migration Assistant to move services from one system running Server to a new system? Are there any details that are particularly important to get right? Are there things that require manual steps after Migration Assistant is done?
There are other ways I could tackle the problem, of course. I could simply swap drives between the systems, but the new system has two drives that are bigger, faster, and I intend to mirror them. That would complicate such an approach. I'd really like to keep the conversation constrained to a discussion of Migration Assistant as the primary method.

yes. I migrated a server frm lion to mavericks following these notes a while back:
OS X Server: Upgrade and migration from Mountain Lion
i do not recall having any problems with it.

Migrate all Open Sales Orders From Legacy System (SAP) To SAP System using

Hi Experts,
             I've to Migrate all Open Sales Orders From Legacy System (SAP) To SAP System using Business Objects with a new SALES ORDER DOCUMENT NUMBER referencing the older one.
           I'll get all the required data with field in an excel file.
             Does any standard transaction exist for it ? Or how to go ahead with it ?
Thanks and regards,
Jyoti Shankar

Hi
If you are checking for CREATE option then Sales Doc Type
For more Info goto SWO1 transaction -> BUS2032 --> DIsplay --> Execute --> There SELECT the method which you want to perform... There you can fine the MANDATORY parameters also....
Or in DISPLAY mode PLACE Cursor on the Required Method and CLick the PARAMETERS button on toolbar...
That will show the MANDATORY parameters...

hi jyothi ,
   there are lot of ways of doing it depending on data upload volume it will be decided .
1) thru abap bdc program which directly uses XL sheet data and creates SO using bapi/FMs.
2) using scat.functional consultant should be good enough to use this.
3)lsmw-laborious procedure but achievable.

How to upload the data from legacy system database to SAP data base

Hi.
We are doing analysis of Legacy system and which needs to be converted to SAP system i.e. SAP implementation.
I just want to know , how we migrate the existing whole data( from legacy system) into SAP system.
and which method is the best method to use data migration from legacy to SAP system if data legacy data amount is huge.
Please suggest me.
Thanks.

Hi
We can either use the BDC or BAPI or LSMW or Direct Input techiniques for the data transfers.
The combination of both Session and Call transaction can be used to achieve this that includes the error handling also. This invloves the screen interaction.
These days, BAPIs are used to overvome some upgrade problems. For easy upgradation, we cna go for BAPIs. Here ther is no screen intercation.
LSMW mainly used for master data transfers using some standrad programs.
As per your client or company desicions we can choose any of them.
Please refer to these links for more understanding -
BDC Vs LSMW -

Hi All, We are in to Release 11.5.10.2.There is a specific requirement to Prevent users from creating Manual Sales Orders in oracle and yet users should be able to book the Sales Orders Imported from CRM system into Orcale.Please advise.

Hi All, We are in to Release 11.5.10.2.There is a specific requirement to Prevent users from creating Manual Sales Orders in Oracle and yet users should be able to book the Sales Orders Imported from CRM system into Orcale.Please advise.

Thanks for your advise.
However, I missed to mention that we have two set of users One is for Finished Goods and another for Spares.
Only Spares users need to be prevented from creating Direct/Manual Sales Orders in Oracle.
As you suggested, if this will be done at Form level, that may Disallow FG users also to create Manula Sales Orders which should not be the case.
Further, I tried to test one scenario through Processing Constraints but it did not work.

Grantor Objects Migration from Legacy System

Hi All,
I have a scenario in which I will be requried to migrate Grantor objects (Programs, Application, Claim, Change Request, billing documents) from legacy system.
I checked the busines objects for Application but could not find the Create Method as we have for Sales Order or Activities.
Can we migrate these objects from Legacy System using lsmw or BAPI's?
Thanks in advance.

How to UNLOCK queues when data is migrated from legacy system to SAP syste

Hi All,
I need some help regarding queues (SMQ2). XI is been used to migrate data from legacy system to SAP system. Sometimes the queue is getting locked. Once the queue is unlocked then the message is processed correctly. So, the incoming queues must be "unlocked" routinely so that they can process through the system. There is a standard report RSQIWKEX available that can be scheduled in SAP system to automatically unlock the queues. Before using the standard report RSDIWKEX, we made sure that we have added parameter MONITOR QRFC_RESTART_ALLOWED set to "1" in Integration Engine specific configuration (TCODE SXMB_ADM).We are unable to analyze the reason for locking of queues and how to avoid it. If the locking of the queues can not be avoided, is there any way to unlock the queues? We tried executing this report but were not successful in unlocking the queues. Please guide us in solving this issue. It would be really helpful if you can give us a direction in solving this problem.
Thanks in Advance,
Shwetha.

Hi,
Just check if the Queues are registered in Transaction SMQR.
If its not, then register the Queue by pressing 'Register' Button

Data Migration from Legacy system to ECC systems via ETL through SAP PI

Hi All,
I wanted to know if we can migrate the data from Legacy systems to ECC systems via PI.
What I understand is there is ETL tool is used to extract the data from legacy system, and what client is looking to load that data via PI?
Can we do that ? I am concerned because this will involve mass data?
If I have to use PI , I see option of PROXY / IDOC /FILE as receiver in ECC system (take the data from ETL)?
Can somebody has done this earlier , please share the approach.
Thanks,
Pushkar Patel

Hi ,
I require few details from you.
1. What ETL tool you are using, If Informatica, it already have PowerConnect to connect to SAP. So you can create source and Target Structure and also you can use RFC's to send data to R/3. Else, for other ETL tools, can you prepare RFC's or any other way to send data to R/3. let me know the tool.
2. Does R/3 contains the master data tables? If yes, then try to use LSMW for Mass upload of data to tables.
If your client don't want to use either of these options please elaborate, what is the case.

Migration of Work Items from one system to another

Dear Experts,
We are migrating an application from one system to other and it involves BI, Webdynpro, BSP and workflow. This is mainly a portal application which involves BI as the backend. While migrating the application with the existing data we also require to migrate the open Work items of the Users.
Can anyone help us in migrating the Work Items or the possibilities of doing the same.
Useful suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Prabhakar M

Hi All,
Am opening this thread again.
Using Transaction SWW_SARA I have Archived the Completed and Cancelled workitems in one Production system(For Ref, P1) and it got stored as a File in the Application Server.
But while I tried to view the archived workitems via the same Transaction I can see only the header of the Workitem and not the detailed information of the same.
Is this the only method to view the archived Workitem or any other way is available to view the detailed Information. Also is it possible to transfer the archived file to another Production system and view the workitems?
Please help me in finding the solution for above scenario.
Regards,
Prabhakar

Migration from unsupported system

I have got an iMac G5 with Mac OS X 10.4, and I want to use Migration Assistant to migrate from a machine running 10.3.5 that does not support Firewire target disc mode. I have successfully connected the machines together by ethernet, and can copy files, but this of course does not migrate all my settings, and with a multi user source system, it does not even seem all that simple to get owners/permissions right.
My idea is that it might be possible to use Carbon Copy Cloner to copy my source system onto a partition on the G5 system (I think that the copy on the G5 system will not boot because it probably doesn't have the right system additions, hence I can't simply copy onto the G5 system and then boot from there).
I would then boot 10.4 on the G5, and could I tell Migration assistant that it should migrate using the partition with the old system as the source? (Will it let me choose that?)
If the principle might work, how should I do the clone, should I do it from the source system, blowing the clone to the partition across the network (or does CCC not work across a network). Or should I do it from the G5 system sucking the system across the network onto the G5?
Unfortunately, Migration assistant seems a good idea, but it seems rather inflexible in the ways that it can be used.
Regards
Beige G3 Mac OS X (10.3.5)

Thanks, for the advice, however:
What you plan on doing isn't really recommended.
First off, the copying over the network will have a
hard time preserving permissions,
I realise that it would not preserve permissions if I just copied, which was why I was considering using CCC. Can anyone advise on how I could use CCC in the configuration to get the data to the right place?
and secondly it
would be extremely slow.
Yes, it isn't particularly fast, I tried copying some of my home directory and it took some time, but much less than an hour (ISTR) which would be entirely acceptable (I havn't got that large a disc on the G3).
One of the best things
to consider doing is just copying those folders
which have the necessary data for the migration
using the ethernet network.
Yes, since I am going to have to copy data across anyway, I don't loose much be copying the clone. (The OS which I don't need is a small percentage of the total user data and applications which I need to copy anyway).
There is this article
which can help:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301239
But this doesn't even consider things like the network settings etc.
Now I forget whether or not the hard drive in the G3
was an IDE. If it is, your solution would be to put
that hard drive inside a Firewire hard drive case.
Then the migration assistant would happily accept
the data as if it were on an external operating
system.
If I get desparate I might have to go to the expense of the firewire enclosure.
Can anyone tell me whether Migration Assistant behaves OK when there is more than one partition on the mounted firewire drive?
Thanks,
Beige G3 Mac OS X (10.3.5)

Migrate word documents from external system to SharePoint 2007 site

Hi All,
I have a requirement wherein I have to migrate around 2500 word documents from one of the system to SharePoint system.
Please note that my client is using MOSS version of SharePoint.
Also some excel files are embedded in to some of the word documents.
Those word documents are stored in different system (other than SharePoint). I have to migrate them into my MOSS system.
Is it possible OOB. I suppose doing it manually will consume a lot of time and client wants it do be done in minimum time.
Is there any tool readily available or do I have to develop one in visual studio 2005? If yes could some one please share the code as I do not know how to proceed on this.
Your help is highly appreciated.
Please respond. Let me know if you need more info.
Thanks & regards,
Manish

Hi,
From your description, you want to get numerous files into SharePoint Document Libraries.
After you log on to the SharePoint document library->click Actions->followed by
Open with Windows Explorer. After Windows Explorer opens, you can upload and download files and folders using the standard copy-and-paste operation.
Refer to the article:
