Modified Standard Cube during upgradation :

Hi,
I have a standard cube 0PA_C01 and modifing it to add few info objects as characteristics.
What will happen to this Std. cube, if we go for upgradation from BI 7.0 in future ?
Or do i need to always make a copy of such Std. cube as Z and do the modification to it ?
Whats the best practice ?
Would appreciate your views about this.
Best Regards,
Shakeel.

Hi,
It is always a good practive to make copy of the standard cube to Z and make changes to them. In future if we get any probelm SAP wont support for that. Make a copy of the standard cube to Z.

How to track changes made to the standard objects by SAP during upgrade ?

Hi All,
Can any one of you please let me know if there is any straight forward method to find any change made to the standard objects by SAP in different versions ?
Like for eg, during upgrade from 4.6c to ECC 6.0.
Thanks in advance.

> For eg , if SAP has made any change in the standard transaction IE02, in ECC 6.0 how will we come to know those changes?
There are two sources for that:
The "Solution Browser" (http://solutionbrowser.erp.sap.fmpmedia.com/) which lists the differences between source and destination release and the release notes (http://service.sap.com/releasenotes). You'd need to read here all those from 4.6 to ERP 6.0 (so 4.7, ECC 5.0 and ERP 6.0) to find out the behaviour changes.

Modification during upgrade

Hello Friendz,
I modified an SAP standard program using modification assistant. If during upgrade still there are chances that this program will be overwritten then what exactly the function of modification assistant. And is there any way, how can we save our modification to be overwritten?
Regards,
Shabbar

>>If I have modified anything without modification assistant, e.g. structure, would we still able to preserve modification during upgrade?
NO. Your changes will be overwritten by SAP
If you use Modification Assistant, you will have the option to retain/reset the changes using SPAU.
Otherwise, you will have to manually track your changes.

Replacing development system with copy of production system during upgrade

Hello Guru,
We are planning to replace our development ECC 5.0 system with a copy of production system, and to perform upgrade to ECC 6.0.
SAP upgrade guide stating that:
"If you have modified SAP objects, make sure that you keep your development sysetem. Do not copy your production system to your development system for test purpose."
If we are planning to "Reset to original" for majority of SAP's objects during SPAU, are there other reasons we need to consider the impact of replacing development system with a copy of production system?
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for your response.
When we first implemented SAP system 3 and half years ago, the consultants and the developers were using the development system like a sandbox system, they tried out features or developed programs for learning purpose.
Hence, the development system and production system are very different.
There are many repair transport requests that will never transport into production.
Also, we developed client strategy (different client numbers for each system u2013 Dev, QA, Prod) during the initial implementation.
We were told by the upgrade consultant, it is standard that the development system replaced by a copy of production system during upgrade. The client number in development system will be the same as the production system after upgrade. If I want to avoid confusion for the developer & testing users, I would have to create a new client using the previous development client number, and then perform client copy.
As I review the SAP upgrade guide, I saw the statement about not to replace development system with production system, I would like to know the reasons behind SAP's statement.
By the way, we will replace our QA system with a copy of production system during the upgrade.

Need to understand impact on workflows during upgrade from EBP 3.0 to SRM 5

Hello experts,
Greetings to all and a Happy New Year!!
I am new to the workflow concept, though i have a fair idea of EBP.
We are using EBP 3.0, classic scenario. Very soon, we would be upgrading from EBP 3.0 to SRM 5.0. I have a few questions which i need to knw before I take up the upgrade part:
1) The impact on the worflows like Shopping cart approval, purchase contract approval etc when we upgrade from EBP 3.5 to SRM 5.0...
2) Does EBP have their own release strategies or are the release strategies defined in R/3 and applied to the shopping cart when it is ordered in EBP? As in classic scenario, POs are created in R/3, then how does the appoval process happen?
3) What are the necessary things, if any, that I should make sure of before upgrading?
4) Does all workflows also get upgraded or is there any tool to upgrade the workflow?
I am not clear with the approval concept in EBP. I know there are workflows that get triggered when a shopping cart is ordered but the approval process in this workflow is something which i want to understand. Please forward me a document, if possible, or a link will also do.
Please let me know the necessary details.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ayush

Hi Ayush,
Most workflows will be the same, but if you have modifications on these workflows' then i'd suggest reverting back to the standards for the upgrade.
Im not quite sure what you mean about the release strategy. What can be done though, is creating Purchase Requisitions in the R/3 and pass them to the SRM system. From here PO's can be created and the approval process will take place in accordance with your workflow rules in tcode: swb_cond.
Before upgrading, try to have the system as clean as possible. When i say clean, i mean make sure that users are consistent, SC's, PO's etc arent left hanging. Try to avoid carrying documents over to the new system. I'd suggest archiving anything you can too.
I don't have any documents to give you but the basic process and transactions are as follows:
SWB_COND: Your workflow start conditions. Which WF's are on/off (defined by green/red light)
SWI6: This will let you examine a document and its relevant WF by its object id. (SC No, PO No etc..
SWUD: Allows for Consistency checks on your workflow and will find any inconsistencies which are occuring. (Use Test Environment and WF Tech Name i.e 14500015)
SWDD: The workflow builder, will let you build, activate, create new version and modify the worklows in your system.
Approval itself is simply the chain of approval which a workflow is defined to follow. You need your managers to approve/reject and the conditions for which Managers should be called for approval. Its works from Possible Approvers for workitems and Excluded Approvers for workitems.
Understanding the WF log is the most essential thing of all. The understanding of BADI is quite important too.
Hope this info helps you. Check help.sap.com cause everything is documented there too!

No applicable data found.. Erro in standard cubes.

Hi,
I am getting an error during the utilization of standard cubes in BI 7.01.
After the data load is complete, when i tried to execute the standard cube "Warehouse Workload History - Deliveres" , or
any other standard cubes, NO DATA CAN BE FOUND.
When using Bex Query Designer on Web, the message is : NO DATA CAN BE DISPLAYED. This could be due the current selection of variable or filter values.
When using Analizer in excel, the message is : NO APPLICABLE DATA FOUND
But if we create the same query from beginning, not using the standard cube, with the same fields and indexes and records,
the values are displayed.
We also try to save as the same standard report with another name and doesn`t work.
My system is SAP EHP1 for SAP NETWEAVER 7.0 in SO Linux and Oracle Database.
SAP_ABA , SAP_BASIS, PI_BASIS, SAP_BW is 701 level 07.
BI_CONT is 705 level 01.
please any advices

Check whether the standard report is created on the Info-provider on which the data is loaded .You can see the same in the query properties next to the check query button in query designer as you are able to see data , by creating another query on the inforprovider .

Restoring variants during upgrade

Hi All,
We are in process of upgrade from 4.6c to ECC 6.0.
I would like to know the tools used to handle variants issues while upgrading to ECC.
It would be of great help if you can tell the different activities to be carried out for restoring variants (Display variants and Variants for Background jobs)
Before upgrade
During Upgrade
After upgrade.
We are looking for specific technical learnings and observations, like performance issue and other issues observed while upgrading.
Please mail me, if anyone as such specific learnings or observations while doing upgrade project

ZSearch Help: will it remain during upgradation from ECC6 to higher version

Hi,
During upgarde from ECC6 to higher versions, will zserach help be moved to higher version automatically or will it be removed and I have to create ZSearch Help again in the higher version.
What about the ZTable, will it be there in higher version or I need to create it again in the higher version.
Thanks,
Priyanka.

Hello Priyanka
Upgrading your SAP system will <b>not affect</b> your Z-objects <b>directly</b>.
However, if your Z-objects reference (i.e. use) SAP standard objects that are changed (or, rarely, are deleted) during upgrading then you may have to adjust your Z-objects. Therefore, keep your (automatic) test scripts available (e.g. eCATT) and run them immediately after the upgrade has been finished.

Uwe

Error while transporting standard cube

Hi
We are facing errors while transporting a standard cube and all relevant objects.
While collection it throws errors saying certain routines are not active, whilst unable to find those routines.
If we ignore and transport the same, transformations es are not being transported.
How to resolve this., please provide inputs.
regards
Lavanya

Hi Lavanya
The error log says these objects are in repair mode in this system. I searched the system for the trnsformations, but they are not present. How do we resolve these
This only means that the objects were changed directly in the target system (could be QA or prod) and are captured in some request. You need to find the relevant request on the target system and take the appropriate action. You could chose to delete the request or transport it from QA to Prod.
Find the requests on the target system and you will see the tranaformations collected. However, it is not going to be an easy taskl for you to find as the TR will be with the technical name. But this is definitely the reason for the error.

Need to modify Standard Purchase Order Stylesheet (PO_STANDARD_XSLFO.xsl)

Hi
We need to modify Standard Purchase Order Stylesheet (po_standard_xslfo.xsl) . Current stylesheet generating PO like the following.
<FOR-EACH>
ITEM_NUM
ITEM_DESCRIPTION
<FOR-EACH>
SHIP_TO_ADDRESS_LINE1 NEED_BY_DATE QUANTITY
</FOR-EACH>
</FOR-EACH>
Based on this, we are getting the output like this:
Item Num 1
Itme Description 1
Ship To: Needed: Quntity
1234. A1 Avenue JUL 200
SomeCity, CA 90706
1234. A1 Avenue AUG 200
SomeCity, CA 90706
4567 B1 Avenue JUL 100
City2 , CA
Itme Description 2
Ship To: Needed: Quntity
5689. c1 Avenue JUL 200
SomeCity, CA 90706
Our requirement is like this:
Item Num 1
Itme Description 1
Ship To: 1234. A1 Avenue, SomeCity, CA 90706
Month: JUL AUG SEP
Quantity: 200 200 100
Ship To: VVV4567 B1 Avenue , SomeCity, CA 90706
Month: JUL AUG SEP
Quantity: 100 200 100
So we need to add ship_to group (ITEM/SHIP_TO) .
How can we use group by item, ship_to..
<fo:block> <xsl:value-of select="ITEM_NUM"/> </fo:block>
<fo:block> <xsl:value-of select="ITEM_DESCRIPTION"/> </fo:block>
<xsl:for-each select="/PO_DATA/LINES/LINES_ROW/LINE_LOCATIONS/LINE_LOCATIONS_ROW">
<fo:block> <xsl:value-of select="SHIP_TO_ADDRESS_LINE1"/> </fo:block>
<fo:block> <xsl:value-of select="substring(NEED_BY_DATE,4,3)"/> </fo:block>
<fo:block> <xsl:value-of select="QUANTITY"/> </fo:block>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
In the above code I need split the data by ITEM_NUM/ SHIP_TO_ADDRESS_LINE1.
I am new to xsl-fo. I tried different ways,but ship_to_address_line1 is generating wiith each quanty and need_by_date.
Please guide me.
Thank you
Raju

Hi Chandra
Thank you very much for your suggestion.
I tried that way, I created some sample xml file, I created sample rtf file and I generated xsl-fo file. I copied the part of code into my PO_STANDARD_PO.XSL. I am getting some error.
I noticed PO_STANDARD_PO.XSL is xsl version 1.0 and the generated sample data is with xsl version 2.0.
The generated code is using “for-each_group”, “sum()”, “current-group()” etc. Is these functions will work in xslt 1? Or do we need to code different way?
We are in Oracle APPS 12.0.4.
Thank you
Raju

No Authorization to OLAP Cubes during the creation of universe connection

Hello friends we are not able to see the OLAP Cubes during the creation of universe connection using the Quality system and Application server "sapbmw01" client 100, system # 00. But we are able to set up the connection in our development system.
I will highly appreciate if you can let me know if we need some special role to access the OLAP Cubes during the creation of universe connection using the Q system.
Surprisingly we are using SAP_BW_ALL in Quality system still we are not able to access the infocubes. is there some thing missing in CMS IN BO to make that work.
Thanks
Soniya

Error in transaction KEA0 during upgrade

Dear All,
During upgrading the custmer system from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 we found some error in the transaction KEA0 while trying to activate the cross client for an operating concern.
The activation logs says that there are the syntax errors in the gereted subroutine pool: RK2O0100.
I however corrected the error and activated the code but again when I am trying to execute the same it gave me the same error and when I go to the sub routine pool I found that the changes are again undone and the previos version is activated. This happens repeatedly that the code is corrected and activated by me and says no error and ones I log off and login again it says the same error.
Help will be appriciated.
Thanks iin advance....
