Dependencies for an upgrade from SRM 4.0 to SRM 7.0

We have a Client situation - upgrade from SRM 4.0 to SRM 7.0 - they have SAP EP 6.2 and 4.7E backend system.
Now, the questions are -
1. Is it mandatory to upgrade to SAP EP 7.01 (Netweaver 2004s) or will SRM 7.0 work with SAP EP 6.2?
2. It appears SRM 7.0 will work with SAP 4.7E, however, will self-service procurement, sourcing cockpit functionality work okay and integrate with SAP 4.7E without any issues?
An early response is highly appreciated.
SNR

Hi SNR
For your first question please refer to the following link as well as the SRM 7.0 release notes:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SRM/SRMRelatedComponentsperSP+Stack
If you check the EP 6.2 is no longer supported by SRM 5 releases onwards
Based on this information, the SRM 7.0 should not work with EP 6.2
For your Second Question:
It seems to be no restrictions in use Backend 4.7E. You can define it in the SPRO as backend destination / sys type(BBP_BACKEND_DEST table SYS_TYPE = R/3_4.70)
As additional information please kindly refer to the SRM 7.0 Instalation Guides. It can be found in the Service Marketplace
service.sap.com/srm-inst
-> SRM 7.0
There you will find a lot information about installation / upgrade from prior SRM releases
I hope this information helps!

SRM Server as an Add on to ERP 2005

Hi
I have installed my SAP ERP 2005 ? Now how it is possible to include SRM as an Add on to the ERP server so that it runs in seperate client
Is the same possible in ERP 2004 ?
Thanks in advance
Prateek

Hi
Please read this ->
SRM ADD ON for ECC 6.00
ECC 5.0 does not come with EBP or SRM.
ECC 6.0 (ERP 2005) comes with SRM Server as an add-on.
Only self service procurement and supplier enablement scenarios are supported.
Not recommended for sourcing scenarios and multi-backend deployment options.
Please look at http://help.sap.com/erp
Then click on SAP SRM for ERP.
you will find very good documentation here.

XI content for SAP SRM SERVER 6.0

Hi All,
I want to implement SRM-MDM CATALOG Business scenario, but i am not getting the XI content for Software Component Version SAP SRM SERVER 6.0.
Can anybody tell me from where to get the XI content for Software Component Version SAP SRM SERVER 6.0.
Helpful answers will be rewarded.
Thanks,
Shiv

Hi Shiv,
You can get the XI contents for SRM Server 6.0 under this URL:
https://websmp107.sap-ag.de/swdc
Support Packages and Patches -> SAP Application Components -> SAP SRM (WITH SAP EBP) -> SAP SRM 6.0 -> Entry by Component -> XI Content
But for this, you requires a valid marketplace user-id and password.
But according to my understanding, you can use the XI contents for SRM MDM Catalog 1.0 under SAP SRM 5.0 also.
The file name is SRMMDMCAT1000_2-20001719.ZIP.
Thanks

SRM 5.5 upgrade to SRM 7.0 with MDM

Hi,
Pl consider the following scenario and give your views.
Our client has SRM 5.5 running with SRM MDM 2.0 in their landscape. Now they wish to upgrade to SRM 7.0 without upgrading MDM.(We are upgrading through the parallel landscape).
So during the upgrade phase, we wish to connect SRM 5.5 and SRM 7.0 both to their existing MDM system for testing purpose. Is this possible?
PS : Parallel landscape is existing DEV environment will be copied and then upgrade the copied environment. We plan to copy only SRM Server and want to continue using the existing MDM, PI, Portal and TREX setup.
Regards

Hi,
No issue for testing purpose in test landscape. It is not production usage and production system.

Masa

I am upgrading to Calendar Server 4.0 on NT with more than 9 nodes (or I already have) and my server won't start

I am upgrading to Calendar Server 4.0 on NT with more than 9 nodes
(or I already have) and my server won't start.

The steps are the same whether you have already upgraded or are about to.

Calendar Server 4.0 on the Windows NT platform can only support up to nine
nodes on one server, while 3.51 supported up to 14. If you have a Calendar
Server 3.51 with more than 9 nodes that you want to upgrade to Calendar Server
4.0, Netscape recommends that you migrate the extra nodes to another Calendar
Server 3.51 on another Windows NT system. To accomplish this:
<OL>
<LI>Install Calendar Server on another Windows NT machine and configure it to
use the same directory server as your current Calendar Server.
<LI>Stop and backup your current Calendar Server.
<LI>Individually zip up the node directories you want to move to the new
server. (drive:\unsers\unison\db\Nx
where "x" is the number of the node you want to use.)
<LI>Stop the new Calendar Server.
<LI>Unzip the files into the new Calendar Server in the same place as they
were on the old server.
<LI>Edit the unison.ini
file on the new server to add the nodes you have just migrated.
<LI>Edit the unison.ini
file on the old server to remove the nodes you have moved to the new server.
<LI>Edit the nodes.ini
file on the old server to remove the nodes you just moved and then add them
with the new hostname. Keep in mind that you will only be able to modify the
node network from the old host.
<LI>Run unidbfix -export
on both servers for all nodes.
<LI>Edit the remotenodes.ini
file on both servers to reflect your node topology.
<LI>Run unidbfix -import
to import the changes into the node databases.
<LI>Run unidbfix -c,
then -f,
then -c
again on both servers for all the nodes.
<LI>If you don't get any errors, run uninode -test all
to test if your nodes connections are set properly. If they are not, do not
start either of the servers; instead, fix the errors and try again.
<LI>Start both servers.
<LI>Log in and check to see if you can see people on remote nodes.
<LI>Notify the users on the moved nodes of their new calendar host.
<LI>If you did this in preparation of an upgrade, you can now run the upgrade to
4.0 since both servers contain fewer than 9 nodes.
</OL>

Hi,
Generally such kind of issues are caused by third party programs such as CD burning programs, device driver etc.
First please refer to this article to see if there is anything helpful:
Guide for Upgrading to Windows Server 2008 R2
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff972408(v=ws.10).aspx
Meanwhile from the description, it mentioned a file under C:\Windows\winsxs. Check the permission of the folder amd64_microsoft-windows-servicingstack_31bf3856ad364e35_6.0.6002.18005_none_676975d87cc9b6e6 and the file wcp.dll to see if the permission
and ownership are correct compare with the other folders.
Also as it provided 2 minidump files, you will need to use WinDBG to read the minidump files and see if there is any further information.

Can't Open Reports after upgrading to Windows Server 2008R2

Since upgrading to Windows Server 2008R2, I am unable to use File > Open to browse my network for existing Crystal Reports. I am able to access reports from my recent reports list. If I use Windows Explorer to try to find/open an existing report file, I'm prompted for the installation disk. Is this a known issue? Thanks for your help.

SP2 fully supports Windows 2008 Server, here's a link to the [platforms PDF|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/00225757-ab5c-2c10-c1a8-fb9f9f0f4ac2&overridelayout=true] file:

Pictures not appearing in after upgrade to SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP7 Patch4

Hello,
Due to some issues in Advanced search we performed the service pack upgrade from SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP5 (with MDM 7.1.03.72) to SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP7 Patch4 ( MDM 7.1.04.146). With this new SP, the Pictures are not appearing anymore under the Hyperlink section anwhere in Catalog browser( Compare, Context view, Item details). With earlier SP pictures were appearing perfectly.
We have done like this:( refer earlier thread - Re: SRM MDM Catalog 3.0 Image display) thanks Sudhanshu, Jitesh and Mandeep for suggesting that solution!
Using the hyperlink field
type : rendered
MIME type : image type i.e. .jpg
URL : web URL
We had gone for this option because we dont want to store impages in MDM, and this worked perfoectly until new SP upgrade.
Any clues?
Thanks
Pravin

Hi Bala,
Nothing appears under the Hyperlink section in Catalog browser, though a valid link exists in Data Manager under Hyperlink as type-Rendered, MIME type as JPG and a valid URL.
I have searched Service Market place for this fix of this issue and found that SAP has improved the technology ( from Object Cache to Blob Cache) to display pictures/hyperlinks from SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP06 and MDM 7.1SP04 onwards. We were on SRM-MDM Catalog 3.0 SP05 and MDM 7.1 SP03 before Dev upgrade.
Here are the notes for reference of others who get into same issue.
Note 1450593 - Implementation of BlobCache
This note states "MDM7.1 SP04 offers new image caching functionality called Blob Cache. The old functionality of Object Cache is replaced with the Blocb Cache mechanism in Catalog 3.0 SP06 P1"
Note 1505796 - Images not showing in SRM-MDM catalog (error in BlobCache)
This note talks about the issue in MDM API with Blob Cache. The Fix has been provided in SRM-MDM Catalog SP08 Patch 01.
But upgrade is not something that happens on the drop of a hat, we dont want to do another upgrade, I would like to know if there is a workaround.
Thanks
Pravin
