NW2004s Upgrade Project Plan

Hello Gurus,
Need to make an Excel/ MS Project based NW2004s Upgrade Project Plan, which covers all major activities with approximate durations.
I understand, it will largely depend on any customer's specific landscape, yet assuming some existing BW version, R/3, EP, CRM and non-SAP systems in any landscape, there can be a fairly common 'template' for making such plan.
Can somebody guide on where such a plan can be found?
Regards
Manish Madhav

OBIEE 10g to 11g Upgrade Project plan

Hello All,
I am a technical consultant working on OBIEE/OBIA and the management needs a project plan for upgrading OBIEE suite 10g to OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.6).
Can you please share some details as -task list and approx hours required. I have a rough idea of task list in terms environment setup, installations, configuration, custom code migration, testing etc. I want present a professional plan that is being followed by others. Dont want to look odd one out. Your help is appriciated.
Thanks you !

See this in the log:
*02712: Expected oracle.biee.admin:type=BIDomain.BIInstance.ServerConfiguration,* Oracle instance, found 0*
You will have to look into why the upgrade utility isnt seeing any instance recognized - it will only work with 1 instance registered and for some reason it cant find any in your configuration.
You could try looking in Oracle® Fusion Middleware Error Messages Reference 11g Release 1 (11.1.1.6.0) for details on the error.
Ensure the service instance name is present in jps-config.xml.

MS Project plan for the upgrade of 10.7 SC to 11i

Can some kind person supply me with a MS Project plan for the
upgrade of 10.7SC to 11i. Our applications are GL/AP/FA/Project
Acc. Any other doco would be most helpful.
Thank you
[email protected]

We have completed our first upgrade of FA from 10.7 SC to 11i. Most issues arose from the introduction of WorkFlow for Account Generator. In addition we have had difficulty activating the "security by book" new feature. This is still under investigation. We upgraded PO, AP, FA and GL. I can say that more than half of our time has been spent resolving FA issues.
The length of time the task will take will depend on which functionality you use. Have you seen the upgrade kit on metalink? it has all the upgrade steps. From that you could determine how many steps you need to perform.
Hope this helps.

Project plan for Upgrade

Does anyone have a project plan or shell for an upgrade to Oracle 11 they want to share.
Edited by: TILLY on Oct 12, 2009 2:17 PM

Hi,
Could you please include in the plan an upgrade to EPMA with HFM.
The result of my researches are the following:
- Install version 11
- Migrate the SQL Schema from 9.2 to 11
- Run the HFM upgrade script
I'm wondering if the migration will work 9.2 to 11 with an application creating with EPMA.
Thank you!

Project plan for upgrading CRM7.0 to EHP3

Dear Expert,
Currently we are preparing to help customer upgrade their CRM7.0 to EHP3,
and I am thinking the necessary steps for this upgrade project.
What in my mind currently are:
Basis team upgrade the system
ABAPer help to check the impact caused by upgrade and adopt code if
necessary
Function consultant to test all the as-is business scenarios to make sure
everything works fine
Is there anything else we need to do?
Thanks a lot for your suggestions in advance!
Regards
Hedy

You should first check PAM whether the OS and DB are supported for the target release. The upgrade guide speaks about the preparation tasks and also about the follow activities for the Middleware. They basically come under the BASIS scope (Technical Upgrade). The best would be build a sandbox by copying the existing production and upgrade the sandbox system first and if it is convincing for the business then upgrade the whole landscape.

Cutover Activities for Upgrade Project

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

You may wish to have a look at draft portrayed below,rest you learn when you drive
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

3. Install the J2EE instance as Add-in to ABAP for BI 7.0 and apply the Support Patch that equivalent to ABAP Support Patch.
4. Run SGEN to recompile programs.
5. Install the Kernel Patch.

look at the RSRVARIANT table in SE16. If it is empty, then you will definitely need to run RSR_VARIANT_XPRA

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.

Abaper role in Upgradation project

Go through this info.
SAP Implementation:
SAP Implementation is the whole of processes that defines a complete method to
implement SAP software in an organization. It is based on best practices and case studies from various literature sources and presents a collection of processes and products that make up a complete implementation method to allow any organization to plan and execute the implementation of SAP (ERP) software. The SAP implementation process is made up out of four main phases, i.e. the project preparation where a vision of the future-state of the SAP solution is being created, a sizing and blueprinting phase where the solution stack is created and training is being performed, a functional development phase and finally a final preparation phase, when the last tests are being performed before the actual go live.
ABAP Developer Role is to prepare the Technical Specification (based on a Functional Specification given by a Functional Consultant), build the code, Review the code and finally to prepare the Unit Test Cases. Sometimes ABAPer may be asked to do a technical research for an optimal solution.
SAP Support:
After a go live, the application needs a maintenance/support to resolve the issues/tickets raised by the users when using the application. Ticket is like a request for changes/bug fixing or a request for a new ABAP Developer Role includes bug fixing/change the existing code due to new requirements/build a new code etc.
SAP Upgrade:
SAP Upgrade is nothing but upgrading the software with a superior version which has got more advantages when compared to the earlier version.
ABAP Developer Role is to go through transactions SPAU/SPDD to compare the old and new version of the change and finally need to activate the relevant one. Some times might need to work on SAP notes too.

Go/No go criteria for an Upgrade Project.

Can someone please provide information on Go/No go criteria for any Upgrade Projects. What are the key factors which should be considered for any Upgrade project?
Regards,
Gajendra Bhatt

Here are some of the key factors that force TO GO to Upgrade Project:
1. Current version that the customer is having. If it is
   3.X version, then the customer might have implemented
   very long back and his support contract would be
   getting expired. It would be difficult for the customer
   to maintain the system without SAP support. If customer
   go for Upgrade then SAP would extend the support in the
   new contract. This would be a major factor for the
   decision of TO GO to Upgrade.
2. Customer business expansion plans/business prospects
   with different kind of systems like R/3, R/2, web based
   etc., systems which will force to go Upgrade. Because
   new versions of SAP is having different flavors of
   interacting with other systems. So this would save
   more man hours in the future, if they can upgrade
   their central R/3 system.
3. The amount of customization they did in the current
   version, which would be automatically coming in the
   new versions. This would be like credit card process
   in sales etc. This switch over will make them more
   maintenance free system that reduces the future costs.
These are some of the factors that will force the customer
to go for an Upgrade.
Not to go scenarios would be
1. If the customer is already in the nearer version and
   most of the new features are already available, then
   it would not be required.
2. If the project the duration is going to be very long
   as per their processes, which would increases the cost
3. If more customization process has been implemented
   which would not be available in the newer versions
Hope these would be helpful for your analysis.

Sivapratap Reddy

[Hello ,|http://chandranonline.blogspot.com]
BI Upgrade Project will be a challenging one. Upgrade is a process and will never end with this version. Today its BI7.0 then later it can be some new version.
You will have to identify the new functionality and map to the existing one. Some time the entire technical feature may change example, implementing Business Objects.
