ECC Upgrade impact on BDC's

Hi All,
My question is regarding transaction level changes resulting dfrom ECC upgrade.
We are upgrading ECC 4.7 to ECC6.0. There are certain BDC's already working in 4.7 and I need know the transction level changes so as to see impact on BDC pragrams.
I have already tried using SPAU and SPDD for modifications.
Is this kind of information maintained on help or service-marketplace portals? I checked but could not get the information.
Thanks and Regds,
Gaurav

Hi Gautham,
The table u suggested gives details on trasnaction names.
Also the link you have given is about the various issues related to BDC in upgradation process.
My question is different as to find out the changed at transaction level like ...field changes.... mandatory.....sequesce of fields....
is this kind of incormation maintained in any help or service marketplace folders....
I have already tried SPAU and SPDD but don't want to do that for number of transactions.

Upgrade impact on ALE, IDOC, RFC & XI

Hi all
We are having SAP R/3 4.6c and planning to upgrade ECC 6.0. Please tell me what are impacts on ALE, IDOC, RFC & XI integrations.
Thanks in Advance.
Raju

During Upgrade...
ALE : ALE Customer Distribution Model ajustments due to changes in underlying structures and fields in Idoc Segments
We need to adjust the CDM as to adopt these to new ECC6.0 enviroment.
IDOC : Many of the new IDOCS are not released by SAP hence it happens that these IDOCs get stucked in ALE Communication layer and hence we need to see that IDOC's in use or to be used are released by SAP.
SAP supports these release issues ...
Also check the Message Control Settings which needs to be checked and verified during upgrade..
Interface Mappings : - IDOC to Non SAP systems..Proper rights access should be checked...
Authorisations, Access rights for Directories ...
These are the main areas which you should look upon and rest of the things will be known to you once your Business Process testing will start
Thanks and Regards

ECC 6.0 Service Pack 4 Upgrade Impact on CRM 5.0

Hello,
With regards to an upgrade of ECC 6.0 SP4 (Enhancement Pack 1 to Enhancement Pack 4), I wish to know which areas of the CRM module would be impacted (also considering that the version is CRM 5.0).
Any known experienced issues of ENH 4 impact on CRM 5.0 ?
Thank you very much,
Eyal

Eyal,
Unless you make major changes in SD(in ERP) during the ECC EHP4 upgrade, then I don't see major problems. You probably want to make sure that regression testing is perfomed, but that is probably part of your plan anyway.
I would guess that beyond regression testing you won't have much to do, during the ECC EHP4 upgrade. Keep in mind though if your CRM system calls any non-standard function modules in ERP you always have a risk of those breaking.
Take care,
Stephen

Kernel Upgrade Impact on ABAP perspective ?

We are planning for Kernel upgrade. I like to know what kind of impact on ABAP point of view.

I don't know is right to ask this question in abap general forum. may be our abap friends have something to share.
a®s
Any Info ?

@gautam : i've read that before kernel upgrade we have to use "SGEN" transaction to generate objects with available load and then after kernel upgrade is done we have to regenerate objects from last generation..
can you please explain why do we need to do this...
as per my understanding it has got to do something with ABAP consistency....
but why excatly this is done..can anyone tell..

SAP ECC upgrade - Impact to GRC

Hi Forum guru's,
We have a client that is currently using all 4 components of GRC AC Version 5.3 running on ERP 4.7. The client will be upgrading shortly to ECC6 and I would like to ascertain some important tasks required from a GRC functional point of view and the components that will be the most impacted.
1) New connectors will be created for each component.
2) RA&R: Re-upload of auth objects and full re-generation of rules.
3) ERM: New connectors to be added to the current landscapes and roles uploaded.
4) SPM: Component to be fully re-configured on the new system
5) CUP: Existing workflows will apply as they do not use the "system" as the initiators.
Is there any other important steps from a functional point of view that I am missing?. Please advise.
Rgds,
Prevo

Hello Prevo,
1) New connectors will be created for each component.
-> Not required. Existing Connectors created in each of the component of GRC for 4.7 system will work. Just need little modifications.
2) RA&R: Re-upload of auth objects and full re-generation of rules.
-> Right.
3) ERM: New connectors to be added to the current landscapes and roles uploaded.
-> No new connectors required and can use the existing connector after little modification.
4) SPM: Component to be fully re-configured on the new system.
-> Upgrade of RTA component will upgrade the SPM component as well.
5) CUP: Existing workflows will apply as they do not use the "system" as the initiators.
-> right.
To enable AC5.3 to be used with ECC system, you will need to install the RTA of 5.3 for ECC 6.0 system. You can download this RTA from the SAP service market place and then install them. This will ugprade your existing RTA component installed for SAP 4.7 to RTA for ECC6.0.
You can follow instructions on Upgrade guide for more information about the upgrade. Also, there are SAP Notes available which you can use.

2013 CRM Upgrade - impacts to basic configuration

I am getting ready to go through a 2011 CRM to 2013 CRM upgrade. I am not a programmer or developer however I have been tasked with configuring the 2011 CRM application (we have CRM, proRM & xRM) and need to understand if & how those configurations
will be impacted by 2013. When I refer to 'configurations' I am referring to the following:
System Views, Personal Views, Updated OOB forms, Processes - dialog & workflow, enable/disable buttons & Dashboards.
I've done research on 2013 CRM and there is a lot of information on the environment set up - which is in the hands of other project team members - what I am having difficulty finding is impacts to the above 'configurations'. Any help or information
on any or all of these configurations would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

hello,
your question is a bit broad. I will try to reply with the best of my ability.
CRM 2011 to 2013 is a bit tricky because of the changes made in .net framework, JavaScript etc. So any out of the box features like the views, forms etc will upgrade will out much issue.
based on the framework used, your custom buttons, custom workflow activities etc may need some tweaking.
easiest option would be to take a CRM 2011 database backup, restore it as a new SQL server database, use organization import wizard to convert it to a CRM 2013 instance.
the above step assumes that the plugin and JavaScript is already covered by the programmers.
let me know if you have any questions.

BW service pack upgrade impact to BPC

Hi,
We currently have BW for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EHP2, SP06. The plan is to upgrade to SP15.
I am wondering, what impact if any this will have on the BPC component. BPC is version7.5 NW SP07.
Thanks

We went from BW 7.01 sp8 to sp13 with BPC 7.5Nw sp7 without problems.
I'll add that BPC got some speed improvements from the various fixes in MDX component.

ECC upgrade impact on data archival

Friends,
We are working on the data archival SAP version 4.7, parallely ECC upgrades activities are going on. We are working on the archive tools like transactions SARA, SARI etc as part of archiving. Not sure on what changes to the features will be available in the ECC6.0 version and its impact on already archived files. Can somebody give some inputs/direction?
thanks
Nalinikanth.

Hi,
Retrieval of Archived data
1. SAP system support to retrieve data archived from 4.7 system by ECC system. There is no negative impact in retrieving archived data of deferent version in ECC system.
Advice to take back ups of Field catalog, Archive infostructure in case it is Custom or any additional field added to standard structure.
2. Some changes in Archive index is there in ECC system -
In ECC system, if you want to retrieve archived data from FB03 then activate and fill the Archive infostructure, Archive build index will not work.
This method remains same for Material document and other documents
In ECC system SAP recommends to use Archive system instead of building archive index table such as ARIX_BKPF...
Archive Program
1. All the BC sets to upgrade archiving process are been implemented in ECC system, so you can see some changes in the Write program, Delete program.. or for some archiving object you may also see addition of preprocessing program..
For example: MM_EKKO in initial released 4.7 version didn't had preprocessing job, Write job variant had option of company code to archive purchase order. Later BC set was released with upgraded programs with Preprocessing program and in Write variant with selection of Purchase organization instead of Company code.
If you have already implemented latest release of BC sets then in ECC 6.0 will not have any changes otherwise some minor changes you can see.
Please specify which archiving object with program you are concern with.
Store Function
1. In ECC system, SAP has filled up a long standing gap of storing archived data of different company code in separate content repository. This is very much useful when you want to store the archived data of different organization units in different storage repository. This also easy to get rid of data that has completed total retention period from the storage system.
Remain other functionality remains the same. Please let me know if you have any concern about archiving object that you are using.
-Thanks,
Ajay

ECC upgrade impact on BI

Hi Gurus,
We are currently on BI7 but the R/3 version is 4.7. The R/3 is going to be upgraded to ECC6 shortly. I know this is going to have an impact on BI7 since some of the tables & fields are going to be standard, which might have been customized earlier. Can u give suggestions on the impact on BI and what care needs to be taken from a BI perspective during the ECC upgrade. Also, any doc or pointers which talks about such impact on BI. Points will be awarded accordingly. Thanks for the help in advance.
Ud

Hi,
the following are the activities that I can think of Pre- and Post ECC Upgrade on the BI box.
Pre-Upgrade
- ensure that the Delta queue is cleared in RSA7
- check the PI in ECC6.0
- stop all loads from BW
Post-upgrade
- run Init w/o Data Transfer for deltas
- check extraction for full & delta loads
- replicate all data sources in ECC
- activate all rules thru programs
Other than this, is there any other activity a BW consultant has to do. Also, would it make any difference to our upgrade approach if the BW system is BW3.5 or BI7? our system is on BI7 currently.
Additionally, what SAP Notes will have to be applied pre and Post ECC upgrade.
Would the ECC upgrade have any impact on BI Unicode conversion?
Also, I am still worried about the change to Data Sources post-upgrade to ECC as we have a lot of customization. how do i find out which fields in the Data Sources have been standardized in ECC?
Reponses highly appreciated and points duly awarded.

What Java Upgrade Impacts on Oracle

Hi
We are applying OS patches and a Java SR patch to out IBM AIX 64 bit Oracle Environment to comply with the pending Daylight Savings time change. I am currently researching if we will need to apply additional patches from Oracle on our Oracle products as well.
As anyone out there performed the following patch upgrade described at the bottom of this message to an IBM AIX 64-bit environment? We are currently running java version "1.4.2" Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2) Classic VM (build 1.4.2, J2RE 1.4.2 IBM AIX build ca142-20050929a (SR3) (JIT enabled: jitc)).
I am thinking since we are not upgrading our Java to 5.0 applying the APAR described below will have no effect on existing Oracle products running (Database 10.1.0.3, App Server 10.1.2.0.2 and Grid Control (Agents and Management Service) version 10.2.0.2.0 since the base version of Java will remain at 1.4.2. We also have a good deal of Java code developed in JDeveloper (10.1.2.1.0 Build 1913) running as OC4J web applications on our 10G Application Servers.
APAR IY84053 description:
IBM Java 1.4.2:
32 bit -
Upgrade to at least IBM Java build ca142-20060421 (SR 5) which is APAR IY84053,
Recommend upgrading to the newest build. *

You said:
"In the past we had some problems (graphical or misplaced objects) due to the upgrade."An automated test isn't going to help much for GUI changes. This is something you need to review manually. Also, when you say "Java upgrade", are you referring to the client or mid tier? Changing the mid tier Java version will not change the appearance of the GUI on the client side. As for changing the Java version on the client side, if you are using a more current day Java version with your Forms 10 application (e.g. Java 6) then moving to a newer Java 6 version or even 7 will unlikely have any impact on the GUI. In the past, there were issues with upgrading from old Java versions like 1.3 to newer because Sun (at that time) needed to make changes to that part of Java. If you are already on one of the newer versions then you should not see any change since nothing significant has been changed in more recent versions. Regardless, manual, human testing should be performed in order to ensure that the GUI part of your application is the way you expect it.

Solman Upgrade: impacts on TAO 2.0

Hi Expert,
I'm planing to upgrade solution manager from 7.0 to 7.1 sp11. Currently I have SAP TAO 2.0 SP7 (ST-TAO 200) and HP QC adapter version 1.0 (ST-QCA 100) installed in my SAP SM 7.0. I would know if I will have any impact on these 2 components after the upgrade. In particular I sow that in SM 7.1 the new SAP TAO version has been included in the SAP TST addon. My question is, can I still use the add-ons ST-TAO 200 and ST-QCA 100 in my SM 7.1 SP 11?
Thanks in advance for the support.
BR
gio'

Hello Gio'
As Divyanshu pointed, ST-TAO 2.0 is compatible with 7.1
Also ST-QCA 100 doesn't change.
I first personally upgraded from 7.01 SP25 to 7.1 SP07 last year and decided to do the TAO upgrade from 2.0.4 to 3.0 SP02 a few weeks after the solman upgrade as the solman upgrade is quite an exercise on its own.
Just one note in regards to the QC adapter, if you're on solman 7.0, after the upgrade to 7,1, you will have to update the message ID protocol with the option “Suppress ID transfer".
Also in regards to QC, I was just using the requirements and test results transfers [I wasn't using defect management integration so I cant tell you if extra work would be required for this 2nd area of the QC integration]
Cheers

Upgrade impact of converted Legal Entities

Customer: Aviva
Sr 3-2921431541
Aviva has a requirement to rationalise the number of Legal Entities and on the day that some of these Legal Entities are no longer valid transactions in the sub-ledgers under the old Legal Entities need to be converted to the new Legal Entities in the GL.
An option that is being considered is that IDT is used as part of the Sub-Ledger (AP & AR) Transfer process to the GL. When the sub-ledger transactions are transferred to the GL Interface Table the Legal Entity (Segment 1 - a Balancing Segment) will be converted from the old Legal Entitiy to the new Legal Entity using IDT. The Request ID may also need to be blanked to allow this to happen.
Ratification Required in this context
Will the difference in LE between sub-ledger and GL impact any data migration process used when upgrading from R11i to R12?
Thanks
Hans

Hi Hans
I see following issues from SLA perspective.You might take opinion from GL/Legal entity team/AP for unseen repercussions from their end
1) Since subledgers are not updated with new entity id in 11i,reconciliation between SLA trial balance report and GL balances in R12 would not be easy as sublegders would migrate data with old entity id in SLA tables.
Customer would have to take care of discounting old entities while reconciliing.
2) Since reports are some times run with account flexfield parameter ,a report with same flexfiled parameter in SLA would not return same data in GL.
For ex GL account analysis 180 char would show different data from SLA Account analysis report.
Point 1 and 2 are usually used by customer to ensure successful upgrade happened but in this scenario actual issue would be covered by legal entity mismatch.
3) I assume that if legal entity is obselete corresponding bsv would also be disabled.In that situation subledgers like AP which use businessflow feature would be affected i.e. when 11i invoice with old bsv is paid in R12 ,payment would not account as liability line of payment would be invalid as liability ccid is copied from that of Invoice.Same issue can happen with Accounting reversal feature which is used both by AP/AR.
If old bsv is still valid even then unnecessary balancing lines/intercompany lines could be generated.Customer should think about defining alternate ccids.
However best solution could be to ensure that subledgers prior to upgrade are corrected for Bsvs such that discrepany between Subledgers and GL is resolved prior to upgrade.
Thanks

Rule set - Fundamentals - 46C ECC6 Upgrade impact

Hi,
Am on CC 4.0 FF3.0, SP 12
1.Am I right to say that the rule set contains objects /tcds ?
2. During the upgrde from 46C to ECC6.0 many objects are present, how much is the impact if I use the same rule set as 46C on ECC6 ?
3. Do I really need to change the rule set now or can i defer it - to a date when i get to the GRC 53?
Thanks

Hi George,
Please find my response below:
1.Am I right to say that the rule set contains objects /tcds ? Yes. Rule set contains all the rules which in turn contains combinations of objects and tcodes which poses risks.
2. During the upgrde from 46C to ECC6.0 many objects are present, how much is the impact if I use the same rule set as 46C on ECC6 ? The same rule set will work but it won't have all the new tcodes or objects.
3. Do I really need to change the rule set now or can i defer it - to a date when i get to the GRC 53? *As long as you don't use new tcodes/objects from ECC, it should be fine. If you have to follow SOX then your auditors might not agree with thi
