Testing when patch level is upgraded

Hello Experts,
Our BW server has been upgraded from SAPKW70016 to SAPKW70019 in Quality server. We have been given few days to test the quality server thoroughly, then after basis team will apply same to the production server.
I wanted to know, what are the steps of thoroughly testing the quality server? what all transactions needs to be tested? how do we come to know what are the additional benifits of upgrading to SAPKW70019.
Regards,
Nirav Shah

Hi,
It could be any kind of test like data matching, data consolidation test, routine test, functionality test, report test....its basically to test your system...whther it meets the user requirement or not.

Hi,
Check all the correction notes ( You can ask for a report from SAP)
Apply them and check fo the issues. Its a time consuming process and needs attention.
If there are any issues in notes raise a OSS immediately.
1. Check for primary requirements for which you need the change.
Be careful with Form16 - TAN Number based.
Check 80CCF, form 16 Services on portal, form 24.
2. Also test the existing functionalities.
Hope this helps.

BI_CONT Patch levels and Transports

Hi,
Our BI development and test systems are on a different (lower) BI Content Patch level than our productive system is.
Can this cause problems (errors) when transporting to production?
Thanks.

Hi,
I alreadyu made a test from different support packages version (even BW version from 2.1 to 3.1) and i worked.
My transport included only specific and no customizing, just infocube, objects,... not Business Content developpments.

Updating db to new Patch level

Good Day
Experts:
Today I wanted to use a development db that had not yet been updated since the latest Patch Level was applied to the Server.
All was going well until the stopwatch down at the bottom of the screen started up. Shortly there after, the following message appeared:
"This entry already exists in the following table "Departments" CUFD
I also received the following message:
"This entry already exists in the following tables " " CUPC
A few days earlier development db's on the same Server were updated.
Has this happened to anyone else? I am not sure what this is/means or how to proceed. Any input/help is appeciated.
Thanks,
EJD

i didn't update to patch 43 yet.
quite strange that you mentioned the CUPC Table - its the Upgrade Control table.
maybe some else tested it here ?

How to see list of bugs to be fixed in future patch level?

It occurs often that the client needs to upgrade due to one application error, but after upgrading they discover more application errors in the latest patch.
How to see SAP notes for bugs to be fixed in future patch level for CA or US localization only?
This is the scenario: Client was upgraded to 8.8 SP0 PL11 and they discovered a bug (SAP note 1475645). SAP note 1475645 was released on 04.06.10 when the upgrade was in testing. SAP intends to fix it in a future patch, therefore it is not included yet in any info file. It was not found in testing and unfortunately the client found this bug in the live upgraded database.
It would have been good if before upgrading the live database I could have found this note and advised the client of the workaround.
I tried the notes search but this returns 821 notes.
If I search #8.8 program error# or #8.8 application error# I do not find all relevant notes. The reason is that the writing of the notes is not consistent - Note 1475645 does not contain #8.8#.
If I search using category - program error, search for: SAP intends to provide a patch
and search method: phrase, I get 821 notes.
They are in order of last change date which is good but still, this doesn't work because a clean up is required e.g...Note 1477578 still says "SAP intends to provide patches' even though the patch has been released already (PL12) and I have already reviewed the info file.
It would be very helpful for both support and upgrades if the SAP notes search can be improved:
- refine search by version i.e....2007 or 8.8
- refine search by localization i.e...those country specific could be filtered out.
- refine to date range i.e...last change date
- clean up text on note when patch fix is released
- write notes consistently so that same search method can be used
Alternatively, please provide the info file for planned future patches. That way I can check what application errors are not fixed and exist in the patch I am upgrading to.

Hello Maeve and Archie,
I have gone through your posts in this thread and I would like to give you some insight into what we as SAP are doing to improve in the above mentioned areas.
First of all we are continuously improving the testing on patches that we release to the market, to ensure that we are not introducing any new defects into the product. However as you have mentioned, even through the rigorous testing process that we have at place, the fix in one place might touch the functionality in other place and go to the market unnoticed.
To make sure this does not happen we are continuously monitoring all such cases and following up on them. This iterative process has ensured that there is a minimum of problems that are released to the market.
In addition our policy for patch content makes sure that the cases that were identified in the market are fixed in the first available patch.
For details on our Quality assurance you can view the session "Understanding SAP Quality Assurance" delivered by Jaroslav Brutenic our QA team leader. It can be found in the Development tab of the[ PKOM 2010 page|https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~form/sapnet?_SHORTKEY=01100035870000705765&_SCENARIO=01100035870000000183&_ADDINC=011000358700001192682007E&_OBJECT=011000358700000101242010E].
In regards to the Note search for solutions delivered via patch, the methodology that we use is the following:
1. product defect is identified and scheduled to a future patch in our internal systems.
2. note is created that describes the defect and the solution that will be delivered via patch
3. once the patch containing the fix is delivered onto service market place the note is attached to the "Patch overview Note" with the name of the patch.
Therefore the notes that do not have the overview note attached are the ones that are already identified but not yet delivered in a patch.
Lastly, we are currently working on improving the patch info file to provide a better overview of the defects that were fixed in the current and previous patches. Please let me know in case you are interested in reviewing and providing feedback, I will e-mail you the file.
In case you have any additional questions please let me know.
Best Regards

Create an install CD for SAP GUI Windows Patch Level 4

Hello,
I would like to create an Install CD for SAP GUI 720 for Windows with Patch Level 4
so that my user just install once.
From the market place, I can download Patch Level 0 distribution.
It is a Zip file that I can extract and use to generate an Install CD.
But it is LVL 0 only,
Then, I can download the Patch 4 executable file.
Unfortunately, the only way I can go to patch 4 is to execute this new program on my installed GUI.
Is there a way to generate, or even better download, an install CD that would contains the PL4?
so that the user just does one install and does not have to run the patch executable after the install.
If yes, how can I do it?
Thanks in advance for your help.

> No my idea was to generate a CD with PL 4 now.
You can do that using an installation server, you can create a single .EXE file and burn in to a CD for the user.
> We test it and stand to it for a long time.
We tried to do that in the last 15 years we're doing SAP, unfortunately there come always situations, where you don't get around installing patches on PCs. This is especially true for BW, where the tools used depend (more or less) to the patchlevel of the backend system. However,
> Would someone know where I could get the release date of these compilation CD fro 720 Windows GUI?
The patch dates/weeks are listed in "Note 1053737 - Expected release dates for SAP GUI for Windows & ITS Patches", however, they are estimates.
I would assume that the next compilation will be released with Business Suite 7i2010 (or whatever name it is actually). Those compilation CDs are neverless always at least one patch behind the actual one.

Hi,
Check this link which may help u:
http://sap.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/sap-basis/igs-upgrade-1455477
The installation/upgrade procedures for the integrated IGS are as follows:
Integrated Version Installation
The integrated IGS is automatically installed with the SAP Web Application Server.
Integrated Version Upgrade
You find the upgrade files for the integrated IGS version on the SAP Service Marketplace:
http://service.sap.com/swdc ® Download ® Support Packages and Patches ® Entry by ApplicationGroup ® SAP Frontend Components ® SAP IGS ® SAP IGS .
There, you find the IGS executables and libraries (igsexe_.sar) as well as the IGS folder structure (igshelper_.sar) containing among others font files.
With the upgrade files of the executables and libraries, proceed exactly like you would with kernel patches (for example, extract the Archive to the same location). More information about kernel patches can be found in the related note 19466 in the section Copying and Installing a Patch.
The upgrade files for the IGS folder structure must be extracted to the instance directory (DIR_INSTANCE). More information can be found in note 1028690.
After a restart of the Web AS the new IGS is up and running.
Information about finding out your IGS patch level is provided in note 931900.
For an upgrade of an integrated IGS please also check note 896400.
For more info check this SAP Help doc:

CIN implementation - SAP patch level = 24

Hi,
We are on SAP patch level 24, current = 35. (SAP 4.7)
How do we implement CIN ? It has around 1000 OSS notes specific to CIN to reach upgarded SP 35 level. Does anyone have any experience how to attack this problem ?
Do we iimplement all patches and bring system to SP35 - This will requrie too much testing.
OR
Do we implement 1000 - CIN notes.
OR
Implement OSS notes when needed.
OR
Any other solution ?
Suggestions highly appreciated !
Thanks !
CIN, OSS ntoes, Patch level, SAP 4.7, SP24, SP35, INDIA

Hello Ron,
additional information: please refer the note 899086 for details on how to implement CIN. Please be informed that CIN is no longer an add on, it is part of R/3. So you should ignore the comments on 40A in the above note. Also, this note provides information on how to transfer the
CIN settings from 000 client to your customising client. An RFC connection should be established through which you can adjust the two clients.
Regarding your question, I'd do the same as Sunny (for many reasons - bring your system to SP35 level
I hope this information helps.

Hello Bhaskar,
is the transport already approved?
If not approve it and try it again. (also it is a local one)
If not check the objects and unlock them manually the following way:
SE03 => Unlock Objects (Expert Tool)
But if you approve your transport... the objects should be unlocked.

Error: Current patch level of database is unknown. Use latest dbpatch build

hi,
I am applying EP6SP2 CM&COLL patch 5 DBPATCH.
current portal version: version=6.0.2.29.0
current C&COLL version: CM_COLL version=60 SP2 Patch 5
Before applying this patch, i applied CM&COLL patch 4 hotfix 8 and the DBPATCH included in tht. Now, after applying CM&COLL patch 5, i tried to apply DBPATCH which comes with CMOLL patch5 SAR file. My database is oracle database. While applying this patch i encountred following error:
<i>
Current database version: SP2.CM.SPs
ERROR: Error: Current patch level of database is unknown. Use the latest dbpatch build
java.lang.Exception: Error: Current patch level of database is unknown. Use the latest dbp

Now according to SAP Note 761224, they asked us to use updated DBPATCH attached to this note. But currently there are only 3 files attached of MSSQL. I want the updated ORACLE_DBPATCH files.

DB space history not updating in DB02 after upgrading to NW7 patch level 11

We upgraded our NW04 system to NW7 patch level 11 and now when I go into DB02 and click on DB space history there is no new data since the upgrade. SAP_Collector_For_PerfMonitor runs every hour without error. I've checked st22 and there are no shortdumps and I can't find any timeout issues. Ideas?

You may need to a newer release of saposcol. Saposcol comes with your kernel, if you haven't updated your kernel recently that could be a conflict with your saposcol.
