Question on Migrating SAP server from one system to another

Hello SAP Gurus
I need your expert advice with the following issue.
We have ECC6.0 and Enterprise Portal installed on a windows 2003 server with 4 gig memory for demo work (Pre-sales).
Lately we are seeing lots of performance issues and so would like migrate to a faster server. Keeping the budget in mind
we would like to go for Windows-7 64 bit so that we can have atleast 8 gig memory and about 250 gig disc space.
How easy is to migrate from the old server to the new server without losing any data that we have created (lots of custom BAPIs and Tables etc.,)
Is it as simple as install the new server and then create the transport request package of BAPIs and TABLES on the old system and import it into the new server OR is there any thing else that I need to be looking for. Also, is Windows-7 64 Bit a supported platform for SAP.
I am sure lots of you have already done this and might have acquired good knowledge. I would appreciate if you can please share that with me.
Thanks
Ram

Hi Prasad,
I am not sure whether Windows-7 64 bit is a supported platform or not. Please check that in PAM (Product Availability Matrix).
Apart from that the thing you are trying to achieve is not much of a complex activity. By means of System Copy you can achieve what you are trying to do. System Copy is the building of a new system on the new platform using an existing offline database and moreover keeping the SID same. This will retain all of your data (Custom BAPIs and tables and all those) and save you from tedious activity of creating innumerable transport requests and importing them.
Please visit SAP Service market place for System Copy Guide. By the way can you let us know is the current platform is also 64 bit?
Let us know if you have any more concerns.

Migrating KMS server from one computer to another

Hi,
I would like to know how to migrate the KMS from one server to another. Thanks in advance

Steps to migrating the KMS:
1. Uninstall the KMS host key first by running the following command:
slmgr -upk
2. Then, install the default kms key by running the following command:
slmgr /ipk [KMS Client Setup Key]
The default KMS client setup keys can be found here:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc303280.aspx
3. Delete the record from the DNS:
Open DNS console:
Expand _tcp node under the domain.com. There will be a record _VLMCS. Delete this record.
4. The KMS server is uninstalled.
5. To install KMS on a new server, enter:
cscript C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ipk <KmsKey>
then to activate the KMS host, enter:
cscript C:\windows\system32\slmgr.vbs /ato
6. After activation is complete, restart the Software Licensing Service.
7. Verify that the record is created for the new server in the DNS.
To verify that the KMS host is configured correctly, you can check the KMS count to see if it is increasing. Run slmgr.vbs /dli on the KMS host to obtain the current KMS count. You can also check the Key Management Service log in the Applications and Services Logs folder for 12290 events, which records activation requests from KMS clients. Each event displays the name of the computer and the time-stamp of an individual activation request.

Migrating my data from one system to another

Hi All.
We have an application hosted on one SAP system. Now the users plan to use another server to host the application.
All data related to that app (around 10 tables) need to be migrated over too.
Is there any other way than to write a program to download/upload the data to/from a text/excel file?
Anything we can do to avoid writing the programme?
Thanks.

Thanks Krishna. But can you please elaborate on what you are saying?
How to "Add table values" to the TR?
I thought we could only migrate if we had a maintenance view and from there it shall automatically include in the TR if we maintained it via SM30?
But here the case is diff.
It is an application table with no view. Lets say Table Z123. It has 5 fields with MANDT too.
Now around 1000 entries have been filled by the application (program). Now how do I migrate those 1000 entries to another system via TR?
Thanks again!

Migration of Work Items from one system to another

Dear Experts,
We are migrating an application from one system to other and it involves BI, Webdynpro, BSP and workflow. This is mainly a portal application which involves BI as the backend. While migrating the application with the existing data we also require to migrate the open Work items of the Users.
Can anyone help us in migrating the Work Items or the possibilities of doing the same.
Useful suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Prabhakar M

Hi All,
Am opening this thread again.
Using Transaction SWW_SARA I have Archived the Completed and Cancelled workitems in one Production system(For Ref, P1) and it got stored as a File in the Application Server.
But while I tried to view the archived workitems via the same Transaction I can see only the header of the Workitem and not the detailed information of the same.
Is this the only method to view the archived Workitem or any other way is available to view the detailed Information. Also is it possible to transfer the archived file to another Production system and view the workitems?
Please help me in finding the solution for above scenario.
Regards,
Prabhakar

Getting error in file transfer from one system to another system

Hi All
One of my client (User) wants to transfer his file from SAP R/3 System SAP XI system. He is using a customize t-code ZFIR0325 (Trial balance report transfer to Hyperian System). When user execute the program he is getting error "File Transfer Failed due to Network chk with Admin"
I checked with Network team but they said it is okay from their side. We also check for authorization but there is no issue regarding authorization.
Name of File Path of Aplication Server, XI destinaion and XI directory entered by user is correct.
We also put authorization trace in XI System to RFC User (In file transfer from one system to another system this RFC User is geeing Used) but no authorization issue was found.
Please help me to resolve this problem. I any detail require I will provide the same.

Firstly, no one in the community can answer on how a custom transcation code and a program associated with it behaves.
If there are no authorization issues in the system, you have to look at the exact error message. Look if your XI system is allowed to receive files from the SAP system.
Unfortunately, you should do some more home work before putting your question here. If everything is fine and configured correctly, then the issue might be with the program.

SSIS - Migration of attachments from one project to another project in Quality

Hi All,
I would require some technical help on SSIS, which
requires migration of attachments from one project to another project in Quality
center.
I have tried various possible ways of migrating the
attachments. But only the icon appears with no file present. This is stored as
a system file hence requires migration of the files as well. Therefore I would
like to know if there is any way to solve this issue.
Please refer site as well for reference .
Thanks in advance .
Thanks & Regards,
Anand Gavle.

Hi Anand,
I have moved your post to the SQL Server Integration Services forum.

Since I migrated my files from one Mac to another and am now running Yosemite, Photoshop Elements 9 (adequate for what I do) is not showing the previous functionality on some of the tools. I have uninstalled/reinstalled twice to no avail.

Since I migrated my files from one Mac to another and am now running Yosemite, Photoshop Elements 9 (adequate for what I do) is not showing the previous functionality on some of the tools. I have uninstalled/reinstalled twice to no avail. Is there a fix? Also, when I tried to update, it comes up with this error.

I have a similar problem. I found out that my macbook air created a new USER with my former's computer user name. You can check that by going into System Preferences -> User & Groups, and see if a "Other user" has been created. You have to login under this new USER to find your transferred contacts in the address book.
My problem is that I do not know how to merge the 2 USER logins or transfer the data from the new USER created into the existing one.

Upgrading sap programs from one version to another version

Hi All,
I want to know how to upgrade sap programs from one version to another version,Please help me...
Regards,
Raj.

The seriousness and the complexity of the upgrade is primarily dependent on the version of the older SAP system. The Upgrade from 4.6 -> 4.7 is relatively easier and faster than that of an upgrade from 3.0 -> 4.7.
Most of the function modules in the older system have been reworked and would be marked as obsolete in the target version. (This could be seen in EPC Error Analysis & warnings).For example Function modules like Upload, Download, WS_Download, WS_Upload,WS_File_Delete, WS_Filename_get, Popup_to_confirm_step etc. These obsolete Fm's can be easily replaced with Fm's like Gui_Upload,Gui_Download, etc. There are few other complex Fms for which you have to do through R&D to find out the replacements.
Apart from replacing obsolete Fms one has to correct those syntax errors that may occur in the target version. There is a lot of variations in Syntax standards across versions.
Further more many transactions would have been reworked. Some Fields would be missing in the old system or a field would have been made a Key-Field in the new version , some screens would be missing or would have been addded. Also some Tables would have been flagged as obsolete and we need to find replacement for those obsolete Database tables.
It would be wise to do a R&D for all the programs in the system before Upgradation. This would really give us an idea about the complexity of the task and we can plan our Upgrade work effectively.

cartik

Transfer of workflow from one system to another

Hi all,
I have a requirement as follows:
1) V have developed a workflow in our system and tested
2) now the client wants tht in their system
if it is within our system, v can transport the request to copy tht workflow. But here the system itself is a new one where we need to do all configurations for workflow development. There is a way of storing the workflow as XML and thn importing it into the system.
Can anyone suggest with solution for this transfer from one system to another?
Thanks,
Sivagami

Hi,
1) In the T.code SWDD, Give your Workflow no. and Press enter.
2) Goto Menu, in the first Menu you can find Export and Import.
3) You have to export and save that XML file
4) Then go to the new system in the SWDD, Click import and it will ask of the file, upload the same file which you export from that system
