Online survey about migration of SAP-delivered BI content

UPDATE 10/18/11: The results of the survey on BI Content are available now.
Migration of SAP-delivered BI Content to SAP BW 7.0 technology  - Results of the Online Survey
Regards,
Marc
SAP Customer Solution Adoption (CSA)

Marc -
This question is a slight variation to the question posed by Maninder.
Client plans on upgrading the BW instance to "NW04s/SEM 6.0" and also merge an old SEM instance (BW 3.1 SEM 3.5)to the upgraded BW instance. They plan on using the SEM 6.0 BPS instead of the new NW04s IP functionality.
The merging of instances requires migration of configuration / data.
What are the major cautions you advise?
Also, as requested by Maninder any SAP documents that shed light on issues that one needs to consider while migrating BPS data would be of great help!!

Anil

  • Online survey about "the commercial relevance of SAP modifications"

    Hello everybody,
    I'll need your help to get more information about SAP modifications during the SAP update process. Would you mind helping me with this task. Above you'll find information about the survey content and the related link to the survey. Thank you very much.
    If you're responsible for the SAP patch management or you're able to give information about the update process please complete the related online survey. If you know the responsible person please forward the link. Thank you very much!
    Link to online survey http://www.q-set.de/q-set.php?sCode=AWSBYJDVUEVT
    The SAP AG provides in line with the maintenance agreement SAP Support packages and new SAP Releases. Additionally each SAP customer has the ability to change SAP objects by themself. If the customer has done such changes an additional process step is necessary during the implementation of SAP maintenance components. This step is called modification adjustment.
    With this survey and the related bachelor thesis I'll try to clarify the amount of the modification adjustment including the dependent commercial influence. Additionally I'll try to figure out if additionlly created keep records for modifications have an commercial impact on the modification adjustment.
    This survey asks question for one SAP system landscape. If you're responsible for more than one SAP system landscape feel free to use this survey more often. I appreciate your assistance. Thank you very much!
    Estimated time required for this survey: 5 - 10 minutes
    There aren't right or wrong answers within this survey, but each response is important! Please complete the whole survey truly.
    Thank you very much for your assistance!

    Well, a couple of thoughts:
    1. In CS3 if you have your photos converted to DNG format [and I think you can convert TIFFs] then ACR 4 that is included as a plug in when you installed CS3 [I hope I have the terminology right here, I do lots of things rote from previous experience and sometimes my directions are off] will open and DNG file [that I am sure of]. Then you can resize using the ACR controls. You can open multiple files and operate on them all at once.
    2. I think you can do this in CS3 directly as well since you can operate on multiple files there as well. The problem you will have is available ram. If you start opening 30 MB files [lots of them] you will bog down pretty fast.
    3. I think this discussion has got beyond the bounds of LR and I am willing to continue the discussion off line at [email protected]

  • Migrating an SAP 4.7x110 system on W2003 32-bit to a 64-bit host (x86_64)

    We want to migrate an SAP 4.7x110 system on Windows Server 2003 32-bit to a 64-bit host (x86_64). Afterwards we want to upgrade the system to ECC 6.0.
    According to PAM, 4.7x110 is not supported on Windows 64-bit.
    According to note 960769,
    "After the migration to the 64-bit hardware, your SAP system may have a status that is not supported by SAP for productive use (see Note 814834). You may need to upgrade to a new SAP release. In this exceptional circumstance, SAP offers support for the duration of the upgrade.  Note that SAP does not support a longer, more productive use of such a system for the period after the migration and before the upgrade....
    ...We generally recommend to use SQL Server 2005 (64-bit) for the productive use on x86_64. However, the 32-bit operation of SQL Server 2000 on Windows x86_64 64-Bit (supported by Microsoft) is also supported by SAP...
    ...The following table illustrates which OS/DB combination supports each SAP release in the target system.
    Source System   Target System (Kernel, DB Software)     Support Comment
    3.1I   3.1I 32-bit, MSSQL 2000 32-bit    only for upgrade (a,c)
    4.0B   4.0B 32-bit, MSSQL 2000 32-bit    only for upgrade (c)
    4.5B    4.5B 32-bit, MSSQL 2000 32-bit    only for upgrade (c)
    4.6C   4.6D 32-bit, MSSQL 2005 64-bit     productive (b)
    620   640 64-bit,  MSSQL 2005 64-bit    productive (b)
    640   640 64-bit,  MSSQL 2005 64-bit    productive (b)
    700   700 64-bit,  MSSQL 2005 64-bit    productive (b) "
    According to note 814834,
    "SAP supports the x86_64 platform on Windows 2003 Server SP1 x64 for kernel 4.6D and kernel 6.40 and higher. ... For product versions based on kernel 6.40 and higher, only 64-bit operation is supported."
    According to note 905634, about SQL Server 2005 support (where a mention to R3E 4.7 x110 is missing)
    "Supported SAP products based on SAP_BASIS 6.20 and SAP_BASIS 6.40
    Product Windows platforms
    BW 3.10 x86, IA-64
    SCM 4.0 x86, IA-64

    +//////////////////////+//
    According to all this information, may I move our 4.7x110 system onto a Windows Server 2003 SP1 64-bit, SQL Server 2005 64-bit, and after that we would upgrade to ECC 6.0?

    Sorry, I forgot posting the SAP answer, which is also "Yes":
    30.07.2008 - 16:19:00 CET - Respuesta by SAP     
    Dear Eva,
    Yes, you can move to the 64 bit platform with SQL Server 2005 according
    to note 960769.
    Information in note 905634 means there is no installation DVD for
    release 47x110 for SQL Server 2005. So it is not possible to do a fresh
    installation of 47x110 except if you follow the workaround of note
    899111 (for x64).

  • Challenge of the day - "beginner" errors in SAP-delivered transactions

    1.  Read this post here:
    Question on SWUI_SINGLE and SWUI_START
    2.  Name another SAP-delivered transaction that exhibits the same incorrect behavior as SWUI_SINGLE and SWUI_START.
    Note: Assume that the behavior of these transactions at this customer site is not due to an error in system config, but rather to insufficient internal SAP QA/QC.
    If the behavior of SWUI_SINGLE and SWUI_START is not due to a config error at this customer site, these are really remarkable transactions.  I've never seen SAP transactions delivered with such gross "beginner" errors.
    Have you?

    Hi Stephen -
    How could I teach them "/nex" when I had deliberately forgotten it myself ... I'm the guy you love to hate  when you're standing behind him watching him try to get something done "fast" ... I still go up to the menu bar for copy/paste/cut in Office sometimes ...
    It's my way of being old-fashioned - like the engineers who wouldn't give up their rules for calculators ...
    As far as EEWB goes, well I can see why nobody cares about it ... remember the old saying:
    "Real programmers don't program in wussy languages like LISP ... they program right down to the bare metal" ...
    ... same goes for any tool that has "easy" and "workbench" in it ...
    Just kidding, of course ...

  • Column-clipping behavior of FIND from SAP-delivered ALV toolbar

    I have an ALV display whose rows start with three short columns followed by one pretty long column.
    The customers want to use the FIND button from the standard SAP ALV toolbar to search for substrings in the text that's in the long column.
    The find is working fine, but when the result is displayed, the layout is clipped so that only the long text column shows.  Furthermore, you can't window to see the three leading columns - it's like a different display.
    Is there an SAP-delivered parameter that will successfully tune this behavior so that the result of the FIND uses the original layout?
    If not, has anyone written a custom FIND implementation that will not behave this way ???
    Thanks
    djh

    I've learned that this can be eliminated by right-clicking the ALV container anywhere and selecting "optimize width".
    I've started a separate question about whether this option can be preset.

  • Migrating to SAP General Ledger (NewGL)  on a different box

    We are looking at migrating to SAP General Ledger on a production system with over 150 company codes and 10 years of unarchived data. Since this results in pretty large database tables we are looking at several options to minimize business impact.
    Among the available options, I have been told that it is possible to perform a migration from one box to another rather than in-place. I'm having trouble visualizing how transactional data from other modules (CO, SD, MM, PP etc) would be preserved in this case.
    Can anyone tell me if migrating from classic GL on one box to new GL on another is possible? Does it really reduce downtime? If so, how does it achieve this time savings? What are the pitfalls of taking this approach? Can a box-to-box approach be taken without loss of non-GL transactional data?
    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    Hi,
    we migrated on 31st of march 2008 3 different 46c systems (AT, IN, CN) with 3 huge and a few small company codes into one ECC 60 system (using HR, SD, MM, PM, PP, QM, FI, CO). In ECC 60 we are using NewGL, document split, functional area reporting, PRCTR-wise balance sheets, segment reporting, FI/CO online integration, leding ledger IFRS, 2 non leading ledgers for every comp. code,...
    The migration project was started a year before go-live the system downtime was only the 31st of march (one day) for each company code.
    The main thing was, that we decided not to migrate any old transactional data to the new system but only the data (master data, open items, open PO's,...) thats needed.
    So the old stuff remains still in the old system (FY-end closing was done there) and all comp.codes started the new fiscal year in the new system.
    Due to the fact that many reporting issues where covered by business warehouse this ensured a continously reporting across the old and new system landscape and there was never a need to have "old" data visible in the new system.

  • Migration from SAP BC To SAP P.I

    HI Experts ,
    I am required to do migration from SAP BC to SAP P.I. I would require the following Info/Help from you as i have not worked on such scenario before this!
    1) What kind of challenges can be faced during migration from BC to XI?
    2) What is the best practise for doing the same?
    3) Can you share some scenario from where i can have some idea how to do migration?
    4) Generally how much time it takes in migration activity if ther are not much interfaces involved in it?
    Would appreciate your valuable inputs on the same!
    I have read How to guide docs on how to do migration from BC to XI but not convinced with the content
    Regards
    Saras Jain

    Hi Saras,
    I am giving you an example senario and a how to do all the steps and why it needed. if you need more information just mail me i'll give you the concerned PDF.
    Scenario
    SAP Business Connector enables data exchange between an SAP system and
    external systems using HTTP and e-mail. SAP Exchange Infrastructure (SAP XI)
    replaces SAP Business Connector (SAP BC).
    We distinguish between standard scenarios (that do not contain customer-specific
    development) and individual scenarios (that do contain services or mappings created
    by the customer). The following sections describe how to migrate both types of
    scenarios to SAP XI.
    Scenario 1 (IDoc – HTTP, HTTP – IDoc)
    An SAP system sends an IDoc to SAP BC or to SAP XI. The IDoc is converted to
    XML. It is sent to an external business partner by using HTTP.
    An external business partner sends an XML document by using HTTP to SAP BC or
    to SAP XI. The document is converted to an IDoc and sent to a connected SAP
    system in the internal system landscape.
    Scenario 2 (IDoc – Mail, Mail – IDoc)
    An SAP system sends an IDoc to SAP BC or to SAP XI. The IDoc is converted to
    XML. It is sent to an external business partner as an e-mail.
    An external business partner sends an e-mail to SAP BC or to SAP XI. The
    document is converted to an IDoc and sent to a connected SAP system in the
    internal system landscape.
    Flow Services
    Flow services are services that are written in the proprietary graphical-based flow
    language of SAP BC.
    Java Services
    Java services are services that are written in the Java language.
    There are several platforms that support Java, including SAP XI. However, the data
    model used in the Java services in SAP BC is proprietary.
    Stylesheet Transformations
    Stylesheet transformations are often used for mapping purposes. They take an XML
    document as input, convert it according to rules defined in the stylesheet, which is
    also an XML document, and produce an XML document as output.
    The XML Stylesheet Transformation Language (XSLT) was defined by W3C (World
    Wide Web Consortium), the consortium that defines most of the common standards in modern internet communication, such as HTML and SOAP.
    SAP NetWeaver is the open integration and application platform from SAP. With
    NetWeaver ’04, there is a significant overlap between the functions of SAP
    NetWeaver and SAP BC. Many functions provided by SAP BC are offered by SAP XI
    as part of SAP NetWeaver, for example, conversion of an IDoc to an XML message,
    mapping, routing, and adapters to connect to a large number of third-party back-end
    systems. SAP BC is therefore no longer needed. New or updated SAP solutions are
    based on SAP NetWeaver. Customers looking for a strategic integration solution for
    the complete application landscape should therefore now favor SAP NetWeaver.
    The last version of SAP BC was SAP BC 4.7, which was released in June 2003. SAP
    BC has not been developed further since this release. SAP BC is not released for
    any further platforms (such as Windows 2003) and does not support any further JDK
    versions, including the current version (Version 1.4).
    For information about the supported SAP BC versions, JDKs, and operating systems,
    see SAP Note 309834. For information about the support and maintenance strategy
    for SAP BC, see SAP Note 571530. Customers who still use SAP BC need to be
    aware of the following:
    • A solution based on SAP BC cannot be a strategic, long-term solution.
    • A solution based on SAP BC is based on technology that was implemented in
    2003 and that is no longer further developed.
    • SAP BC is supported on limited platforms and for limited JDKs only. Vendor
    support for some of these platforms and JDK versions will soon be
    discontinued.
    SAP BC and SAP NetWeaver are based on different technologies: SAP BC is based
    on webMethods’ proprietary Integration Server, whereas SAP NetWeaver is based
    on open standards, such as BPEL4WS (business process execution language for
    web services). Therefore, only parts of an SAP BC implementation, such as XSLT
    mappings, can be migrated to a solution based on SAP NetWeaver. Any custom
    programming based on SAP BC, such as SAP BC flow language, is unlikely to be
    reusable in the SAP NetWeaver context.
    Purpose of this Migration Guide
    The purpose of this migration guide is to provide scenario-based descriptions of the
    migration from a company’s system landscape that uses SAP BC to exchange
    documents with business partners, to a system landscape that uses SAP XI instead.
    This migration guide outlines, for certain scenarios, the individual steps a company
    has to take to replace an existing SAP BC implementation with SAP XI.
    The basic steps in the back-end systems are:
    • Defining the logical systems
    • Maintaining the ALE distribution model
    • Maintaining partner profiles and EDI ports
    • Maintaining RFC destinations
    The basic steps in the SAP XI system are:
    • Maintaining the System Landscape Directory
    • Configuring the IDoc adapter
    • Maintaining the receiver determinations, interface determinations, and
    interface agreements
    • Maintaining the communication channels
    The type of scenario to migrate typically has an impact on the communication channels only.
    Scenario 1 IDoc/HTTP
    IDoc – HTTP Using SAP BC
    Within the system landscape of a company, an SAP system sends an IDoc
    asynchronously to SAP BC. SAP BC converts the IDoc into a standard IDoc XML
    document. The fields of the IDoc are not modified, that is, the conversion does not
    involve any mapping of source fields to target fields. After conversion, SAP BC uses
    HTTP to send the XML document synchronously to an external URL of a business
    partner.
    System Landscape
    • An SAP system and SAP BC are installed within the same system landscape
    of a company.
    • The following information is defined in the SAP system to allow data
    exchange between the SAP system and SAP BC:
    o An RFC destination and a logical system for SAP BC
    o The distribution model is maintained, if necessary
    • The following information is defined in SAP BC:
    o An SAP server with an alias is defined. For this SAP server, the
    information that the SAP BC requires to connect to the SAP system is
    specified.
    o A listener is configured to listen to requests from the SAP system.
    o A routing rule with the transport type “XML” is configured for the
    specific sender, receiver, and message type. The routing rule
    determines how a message is to be routed and where it is to be routed
    to. The scenario described does not use an ACL, (Access Control List
    to restrict execution permissions for this routing rule) or pre-processing
    or post-processing SAP BC services.
    4.2 IDoc – HTTP Using SAP XI
    Check the prerequisites described above under Prerequisites for Standard
    Scenarios.
    The IDoc adapter is used to receive an IDoc from an SAP back-end system and
    convert it to XML.
    The adapter used to post this XML to an external destination is the plain HTTP
    adapter.
    To set up the communication channel, perform the following steps:
    1. Locate the routing rule in SAP
    Business Connector.
    In the Administration View, choose
    Adapters – Routing to navigate to
    Routing Rules.
    2. Select the details of the relevant routing rule.
    To display the details, choose the green triangle (Edit).
    Transport is typically set to XML and a URL is specified. You can use this
    URL in your SAP XI settings.In some cases, Transport is set to
    B2B Service and the parameters Server Alias, Folder and Service
    exist. This is the same as when Transport is set to XML and has the
    URL http://<serverhost>:<port>/invoke/<folder>/<service>.
    You can find <serverhost> and<port> in the definition of the
    remote server under Settings –>Remote Server in the Administration
    View.
    3. Set up the communication channel in the Integration Directory using the parameters from the SAP BC routing rule.
    Use the following settings:
    • Adapter Type: HTTP Receiver
    • Transport Protocol: HTTP 1.0
    • Message Protocol: XI Payload in HTTP Body
    • Adapter Engine: Integration Server
    • Addressing Type: URL Address
    • Target Host, Service Number,and Path need to be set in accordance with the SAP BC routing rule. HTTP Proxy Host and HTTP Proxy
    Port can be set if required.All other parameters have no corresponding values in SAP BC and should be set to their default values.

  • SAP Delivered Business Workflows

    Hi,

  • How to view a SAP-delivered iView

    Hi all -
    I am trying to view the code behind an SAP-deliver iView.  I found the .par file in the portal and downloaded it to my PC.  However, when I try to import it into NWDS, I can't seem to figure out how to open it in any way that will show me the components / classes.  When I tried the "Import" option from the File menu on the menu bar, I could import the PAR file into NWDS, but all I can essentially see is the folder structure within the Navigator view - I can't see any code!
    Sorry to sound so clueless, but any help is really appreciated.  I'm obviously new at this and still figuring out the basics.
    Thanks so much
    Abby

    Hi everybody,
    even if SAP does not deliver the source code of the core EP apps (which has been discussed already many times, why this is really annoying), on the one hand, you won't get a really good EP developer if you work only with the APIDoc and without the daily use of a decompiler... On the other hand, some customers just want some modification, and if you are able to deliver that (including the knowledge about the pitfalls when doing so) - you'd be in the only position to make the customer happy...
    So, here comes the link for the last non-commercial version of DJ, the most famous java decompiler:  ftp://ftp.sac.sk/pub/sac/utilprog/djdec377.zip
    Hope it helps

  • Migration of SAP Netweaver

    I'm currently installing SAP Netweaver 7.0 in Windows Server 2008 R2. The database is MS SQL 2008 R2.
    I'm a bit confuse now because I'm not sure need to start a fresh installation or just doing a system copy will do. This is because I already have existing system with server 2003 and MSSQL 2005. I just need to do a system copy to export and import to the new server or I need to do a fresh installation in the new server where I need to install solution manager in order to get the key to proceed with the installation.

    You have to be aware that Solaris -> Windows implies an endian change (Solaris SPARC is BE whereas Windows is LE). The receiving systems must "know", that the data coming is of a different endianess - depending on which adapter you use.
    > 2) Which estimate (round about) does it take?
    Nobody can tell you that, it is influenced by hardware, storage power, preparation, parallel tasks etc. etc. etc.
    > 3) Where can I find the appropriate documentation?

    Basically you will be doing a heterogenous system copy, roughly spoken "start sapinst, export ABAP and Java, start sapinst on target and import".
    Be aware that you need a SAP certified migration consultant on site to do the migration. If you do it on your own you will loose support in case of problems.

  • SAP delivered Side Panel example

    Hiya,
    I've read up about side panels and I'd just like to demonstrate the functionality to our business - hopefully to convince them that NWBC is the way forward for their power users.
    I was hoping to use a SAP delivered side panel - would anyone know how/where SAP has a standard example side panel that I could use for demonstration purposes?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Webdynpro side panels provide a means to build side panels into webdynpro applications.
    NWBC side panels on the other hand are different and allow to include any web page Google Maps etc as side panels to your application.
    Both are two different things, make sure to watch out for these.
    Regards,
    John
