Thanks & Regards ,

HI,
Upgrade is of two types :
1. technical : in technical upgrade role of funcitonal consultant is to test all the existing functionalities in ECC development (unit testinf)and QA server(UAT )
Also MM consultatn has to sit with Abaper for some SPAU adn SPDD adjustments.
2. Fucntional Upgrade: respective consultatn has to identify teh new functions and take it up further with Business for approval and sign off and then implement the new funscitons.
http://solutionbrowser.erp.sap.fmpmedia.com is the site where in you can get the new  functionalities available in target source.
Award points if helpful as points collection awards through SAP goes to welfare of some of the poorest regions of the world

  • New Development project  in the middle of  ECC EHP7 upgrade project

    Hi All,
    We are performing ECC EHP7 upgrade project in our project system landscape and i have already started Dev system upgrade.Suddenly our development team wants to perform new project  which required to install add-on product from third party application. Installing new add-on will require us to regenerate stack.xml file right? if that is the case  do we need to perform re upgrade to Dev right?. As per my knowledge this is not recommended to perform parallel project with upgrade project.
    Is there any  best practice or recommended method to perform multiple projects with upgrade project at the same time.
    Thanks,
    Raghu

    Hi Raghu,
    First here i would like to suggest you & your development team i.e during an upgrade project dual maintenance is required as per SUM guide,as per SUM guide you need to maintain parallel systems to perform regular activities, for same you could refer SUM guides and follow the standard procedures.
    Installing new add-on will require us to regenerate stack.xml file right?
    Yes you need to regenerate the stack.xml file .
    if that is the case  do we need to perform re upgrade to Dev right?
    If you are under upgrade phase no need to perform re upgrade,required add on can be installed after completion of an upgrade as per availability for EHP7.
    Try to avoid perform multiple projects with upgrade project .
    Regards,
    Gaurav

  • NWDI in upgrade project - Recommendations

    Dear All,
    We are upgrading ECC and Portal. Earlier client doesn't have NWDI.
    Now we are using NWDI, so the customer wants the below recommendations.
    1. Provide a recommendation for use of NWDI within the Upgrade project.
    2. Provide a recommendation for possible ongoing / expanded usage of NWDI at the project.
    Please provide your suggestions.
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    1. If you are implementing ESS/MSS you can upgrade the components using NWDI.
    In general for deploying components you either use JSPM or SDM to deploy. And NWDI uses the same method to deploy the components.
    It's upto you to use NWDI or to deploy them directly.
    Recommendation would be if implementing ESS/MSS you can use NWDI. If you are not modifying the standard SAP Delivered component then you can deploy the components directly.
    2. It depends on what all things are you planning to implement.
    Hope this helps.
    Cheers-
    Pramod

    Lessons Learnt - Upgrade
    1)Convert Data Classes of InfoCubes. Set up a new data class as described in SAP OSS Note 46272.
    2)Pay attention to the naming convention. Execute the RSDG_DATCLS_ASSIGN report.
    3)Run the report RSUPGRCHECK to activate objects.
    4)Upgrading ABAP and JAVA in parallel may cause issues. If there is no custom development on J2EE instance, it is recommended to drop the J2EE instance and re-install the latest J2EE instance after the upgrade.
    5)Apply SAP OSS Note 917999 if you include the Support Patch 6 with the upgrade or you will get the error at PARCONV_UPG phase. When you upgrade to a product containing Basis 700, the phase PARCONV_UPG terminates. You included Basis Support Packages up to package level 6 (SAPKB70006) in the upgrade. The job RDDGENBB_n terminates with the error RAISE_EXCEPTION. In addition to this, the syslog contains the short dump TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED. The program SDB2FORA terminates in the statement "LOOP AT stmt_tab". An endless loop occurs when the system creates the database table QCM8TATOPGA.
    6)Apply the OSS note 917999 if you get the following error during PARCONV_UPG phase: PARCONV_UPG terminates with TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOG_FAILED

  • SAP MM Functional Consultant's role in a Upgrade Project from 4.6C to 6.0

    Hi Guys,
    I will be thrown into a SAP Upgrade Project. I would appreciate if someone could shed some light on what a SAP MM Functional Consultants role would be in this kind of Project.
    I would appreciate a comprehensive guide where it includes role within each stage of the ASAP methodology for Upgrades.
    Thanks guys.

    > I will be thrown into a SAP Upgrade Project. I would appreciate if someone could shed some light on what a SAP MM Functional Consultants role would be in this kind of Project.
    - defining the core processes
    - test and customize them
    - release the customizing transports for production
    > I would appreciate a comprehensive guide where it includes role within each stage of the ASAP methodology for Upgrades.
    Since each project is different and each system has a different customizing/configuration it's not possible to generate a step-by-step guide what you have to do. The requirements are usually defined by the business.
    Your project leader should be able to give you a project plan (e. g. by using Solution Manager Upgrade Project) where you can get an idea based on the system you're going to upgrade.
