Regarding Migration of Workbooks

Hi All,
I need to migrate workbooks from 3.x to 7.0 version.I have some queries related to it..
1.What is the basic difference between single,multiple,complex and query view??
2.How to check for the VB code??
3.How to manage the pivot table during migration??
It will be really helpful if anyone of you can give me a stepwise overview of migration of workbooks and how to check whether it has been migrated properly to 7.0 version..
Points will be assigned to the helpful answers...
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
Rahul.

Hi Rahul,
To migrate the 3.5 workbook, open it in BEx Analyzer 7, refresh it so it populates with data. The macro SAPBEXONREFRESH no longer works so you will need to replace it if it exists with the macro name CALLBACK. Remove the SAPBEXONREFRESH macro.
you do this in the VB code.
Sub callback (ParamArray Resultsarea())
<code> optional (or copy code that exists in the sapbexonrefresh macro)
End
In the global settings in the EXIT tab replace the macro to invoke as the CALLBACK macro.
If no macro code exists then select the radio button for no macros.
Save the workbook (this will now be a V7 workbook). Close session and reopen the saved workbook, refresh and check that the results are displayed correctly. FEP 700 of BEx 710 seem sto be more reliable then it's previous FEP's.

How to migrate the Workbooks from BW3.1 to BI7

Dear Team,
How to Migrate the workbooks from Bw3.1 to BI7. We have recently upgraded to BI7. What are necessary steps and necessary cares needs to take for this.
Best Regards,

Migration is manual. When you open up a 3.x component in a 2004s tool in migrates it. There is no automatic migration available

Migration Issue - Workbook with VBA

Hello Gurus,
I have an issue while upgrading the 3.X workbook with VBA to 7.X.The Underlying queries are migarted to 7.X and I migrated the WB and ran it in 7.X. I found out the Macros was not running. When I debugged the VBA macros I found out the Query ID which was getting pased in a function is different(betwen 3.X and 7.X workbook). The WB in 3.X(even query) has Query ID as SAPBEXQ0001 and the query ID in 7.X is something like DP_4.
In the VBA code which was written in 3.X reference to Query ID is made as SAPBEXQ0001and after migrating the WB to 7.X the underlying query ID is getting getting changed to DP_4 and the VBA macros is not executing(since there is chnage in Query ID).
I am not sure how could I change the query ID from DP_4 to SAPBEXQ0001, SO the VBA macros will run in 7.X also. I dont want to chnage the VBA macros.
Plz suggest.
Regards,
BR

Haven't broadcast any wkbks with vba in them, but it should work. I've even seen posts on SDN that talk about how to add vba code to a workbook so that when Broadcaster generates it, it saves the wkbk to file server. Broadcaster is goign to launch Excel to geenrate the wkbks and as long as the vba code is setup to run automatically, you should be OK.

Error while migrating discoverer Workbook

Hi All,
I am migrating Business Area and Work book from one instance(QA) to another(Production) DB instance.
I have successfully did export of business area and import in production instance.
For workbook migration I have followed the below mentioned steps.
1) Open QA instance and open the required workbook.
2) Do "Save As" of the workbook to local machine as ".DIS".
3)Then Login to Prodcution Open the workbook from the local machine. But in that case it gives following error
" Cannot join tables.Item dependency "" not found in EUL. "
"Attempt to open workbook failed" Anyone can help me to solve this issue. Please.
Thanks
Alaka

Hi Janet
Here are some more notes from my private collection of tips and tricks:
Discoverer workbooks are very picky when it comes to opening up against an end user layer. Basically, here is what happens:
All EUL objects have an ID number and a name. When Discoverer saves a workbook it saves both the ID number and the name of every essential object (business area, folders, items and joins) that is used within the workbook. The next time Discoverer opens the workbook it looks at the ID numbers of the objects and tries to find them in the EUL. If it cannot find an object by its ID number it tries to locate it using the object's name. If an object cannot be located either by its ID number or by its name you will get the dreaded Item Dependency error.
OK, having got that out of the way, if you delete a folder from within the EUL and re-create it you will lose the ID number of the folder and all of its associated objects (items and joins). The only way Discoverer will be able to open this workbook now is if everything within the folder is named EXACTLY the same way (including underscores and casing of the name), otherwise the workbook will not open. Discoverer will report the error message that you are seeing.
So what can you do? Well, you need to have some way of finding out what the old folder name(s), item names and join names were. Also, you need to make sure that all items that were not hidden are not hidden now. There is no need to worry about the names of hierarchies or lists of values. These are not stored within a workbook and are only hooked in at runtime.
Seems like you have to somehow painstakingly determine what all of the item and join names were in your old folder(s) and re-create them 100% the same way in the new folder(s). By the way, when the workbook gives you the error message does it also give you an opportunity to assign al alternative item to the item that it can no longer find a value for? This may work but, in my experience, usually doesn't!! It only works if the missing dependency is an item, it won't work if the error is being caused because you have got a join name wrong. Unfortunately, joins MUST have the same name exactly otherwise there is just no way to open the workbook.
Best wishes
Michael

Regarding Migration from Weblogic 10.3.0 to 10.3.3

We have configured a domain in our weblogic 10.3.0 installation. With in this domain A J2EE application has been deployed with datasources configuration, JAAS configuration.
Is it possible to migrate to Weblogic 10.3.3 without making any changes in our existing application configuration and domain setup?
If yes can any one please tell us what is the procedure?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
first of all could you please clarify the need for migration from BO XI 3.0 to 3.1, as you can simply apply SP1 on top of 3.0 and it becomes 3.1.
if you have considered this and still needs to migrate, following are the 3 posible options.
1. Live-Live Migration - Import Wizard is the tool
2. BIAR - Live Migration - Import Wizard is the tool
Please reffer the Import Wizrd User guide for the option 1 and 2 link provided in the above thread.
Also the 3rd option is to perform the Databse and Filesystem copy, find the step below.
Launch CCM from the Destination System
Copy all of the file store from your Source implementation to the file store folder for your Destination implementation
Stop SIA - right click and select properties - Go to the Configuration tab - Click on the button to specify the data source -
Select "Copy Data from another Data Source". This will copy the data from your source to the Destination.

Regarding Migrating data from Legacy to SAP

Hi All,
We are in Migration Project. We have to upload data from legacy to SAP, either using BDC or Cross-Applications in the following SD scenario's.
1. Customer Master
2. Inquiries
3. Quotations
4. Proposals
5. Sales Order
6. Goods Issue
I would like to know, which concept is better for each of the above scenario. Each option have advantages and disadvantages. So, I need suggestion regarding this.
Regards,
Sathya.

hi
LSMW and BDC are vastly different.
BDC (Batch Data Communication) is a technology used for data transfer. it is meant for transferring data thru SAP transactions itself. when u use BDC for data transfer, the sequence of steps is the same as when u use standard sap transaction screens for data upload. the only difference is that u can use different options for foreground/backgrou nd processing.
LSMW on the other hand is a tool that helps migrate data from a legacy system (non-sap system ) to SAP system. it offers u various options to use either batch input, direct input, BAPIs or idocs. it involves a series of some 17-18 steps to migrate data.
BDC:
Batch Data Communication (BDC) is the process of transferring data from one SAP System to another SAP system or from a non-SAP system to SAP System.
Features :
BDC is an automatic procedure.
This method is used to transfer large amount of data that is available in electronic medium.
BDC can be used primarily when installing the SAP system and when transferring data from a legacy system (external system).
BDC uses normal transaction codes to transfer data.
Types of BDC :
CLASSICAL BATCH INPUT (Session Method)
CALL TRANSACTION
BATCH INPUT METHOD:
This method is also called as CLASSICAL METHOD.
Features:
Asynchronous processing.
Synchronous Processing in database update.
Transfer data for more than one transaction.
Batch input processing log will be generated.
During processing, no transaction is started until the previous transaction has been written to the database.
CALL TRANSACTION METHOD :
This is another method to transfer data from the legacy system.
Features:
Synchronous processing. The system performs a database commit immediately before and after the CALL TRANSACTION USING statement.
Updating the database can be either synchronous or asynchronous. The program specifies the update type.
Transfer data for a single transaction.
Transfers data for a sequence of dialog screens.
No batch input processing log is generated.
LSMW:
The LSM Workbench is an R/3-based tool that supports You when transferring data from non-SAP systems ("Legacy Systems") to R/3 once or periodically.
The tool supports conversion of data of the legacy system in a convenient way. The data can then be imported into the R/3 system via batch input, direct input, BAPIs or IDocs.
Furthermore, the LSM Workbench provides a recording function that allows to generate a "data migration object" in an entry or change transaction.
The main advantages of the LSM Workbench:
Part of R/3 and thus independent of individual platforms
A variety of technical possibilities of data conversion:
Data consistency due to standard import techniques:
Batch input
Direct input
BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces)
IDocs (Intermediate Documents)
The import technique to be used in an individual case depends on the business object.
Generation of the conversion program on the basis of defined rules
Clear interactive process guide
Interface for data in spreadsheet format
Creation of data migration objects on the basis of recorded transactions
Charge-free for SAP customers and SAP partners

Regarding Migration to Adobe Forms

Hi Friends
   I am working on adobe print forms.
I have one doubt that is If SAP itself providing the option <b>migrate smartform to Adobe Interactive form,</b> what's the necessity to create the forms from scratch i.e why we have to create Interface,Context and Forms.
Is we get any flwas by simply migrating the smartform to adobe interactive form?
Please anyone explain me?
Points are assured for useful ansers.
Regards,
Sree

yes u can convert smartform into pdf. follow these steps.
1. first call your smart form as u do.
e.g. CALL FUNCTION '/1BCDWB/SF00000127'
in this just activate these two also
   IMPORTING
   DOCUMENT_OUTPUT_INFO       = it_tab1
and this internal table (it_tab1) it will store the data of smart form.
2. then call fm to convert it_tab1 data into pdf.
call convert_otf
and in this fm just pass it_tab1.
EXPORTING
    format = 'DOC'
IMPORTING
    bin_filesize = v_pdf_len
TABLES
    otf   = it_tab1
    lines = pdf_table
EXCEPTIONS
    err_max_linewidth     = 1
    err_format            = 2
    err_conv_not_possible = 3
    err_bad_otf           = 4
    OTHERS                = 5.
3. now u can save this fm on your local system.
second method
apart from allowing sap to convert your smart form to pdf u can also do it by downloading two software files
and then install it in your local system.
links for those files are.
http://www.pdf995.com/download.html
and download pdf printer driver from here
after that goto printer setup and make PDF995 as default printer.
and finally when your smart form is ready to print just click on print button then as your default printer is pdf995 it will convert your smartform into pdf and that u can save it in your system.
plz reward point .

Regarding migration

Hello Gurus
I want to migrate some of my databases to another server at one client.The client is asking for minimum downtime.
Like i have a database with 200GB.Now i have below options to migrate.
1)USE rman as downtime would be less.I need to take backup,restore to another server and then down prod,copy archives and apply to new location and make database up.
(this may not take more than 1 hour of downtime)
2)use expdp.downtime would be much but fragmentation in tablespace would be removed.If say i have a file with larger size then its actually using..could be re-organised.
(may take 10-15hrs of downtime)
So guys what are more advantages of using rman n expdp.
Whta you suggest for migration.is it necessary to remove fragmentation so performance would be good in future.

There are various ways you can do the migration and it depends upon the lot of factors.
1) About RMAN you mentioned, You can do the restore of the database on the other server( while your original database is up and running on old server) and start recovery(just do not open the database, keep your database in recovery mode and keep applying archive log). At the time of cutover just shutdown the old database apply last few archives on the new server. In this case your recovery time will be in few minutes instead of hours.
2) If you are using SAN, You can just move the LUNS to the new server if you are migrating to like servers. If you are little concern, just to the SAN copy at storage level and mount the copied LUN to the new server. This method will be faster than the methods you mentioned in your thread.
3) RMAN will not get rid of fragmentation. There are different ways to get rid of fragmentation. Google it.

Regarding Migration From Apps 11.5.5 to 11.5.10

Earlier we were using Oracle database 8i and Apps 11.5.5 and now migrated to Oracle 9i and Apps 11.5.10 and after migration I am facing one problem in my Form which created using Forms 6i, while deleting the data through Apps it giving the error

Hello Lisa,
I'm embarassed to say that I'm still in the process of migration. Since I need to migrate 3 UC apps (CUCM, UCCX, Unity), I'm being really careful each step and watching out for "fires" every time I did a significant step in the process. I decided scrap out my initial migrate process and start over. I decided to start migrating Unity to UCXN first, then CUCM and UCCX after.
After lots of research on how to use PCD, I was never able to use it with my hardware because of the virtualization license limitation. Here's an excerpt from the PCD administration guide:
Virtualization Software License Types
Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment is not compatible with all license types of VMware vSphere ESXi, as some of these licenses do not enable required VMware APIs.
The following are compatible with Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment:
* Cisco UC Virtualization Foundation (appears as "Foundation Edition" in vSphere Client) * VMware vSphere Standard Edition, Enterprise Edition, or Enterprise Plus Edition * Evaluation mode license The following are NOT compatible with Cisco Prime Collaboration Deployment:
* Cisco UC Virtualization Hypervisor (appears as "Hypervisor Edition" in vSphere Client) * VMware vSphere Hypervisor Edition
In my lab, I found that using "cucm_9.1_vmv8_v1.7.ova" worked well for me. I was virtualize CUCM 8.0.3 using this OVA (just make sure DNS and IP address settings are exactly the same). I plan to do a refresh upgrade form here.
Using the 10.5 OVA template did not work for me. I couldn't install CUCM 8.0.3 on it. I would get an error message in the middle of installation.
Hope that helps and good luck. Let me know how you're migration went/goes. Maybe we can help each other out.

Regarding migration of multiple 9i DBs to same AIX 5.2 server

Hi,
We plan to move few Oracle 9i databases from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.2.
I have couple of questions on the approach we are planning to implement:
1- We plan to backup the volumes having Oracle_Home and datafiles along with the complete OS and restore these on the target server. Will Oracle installation work on the target with this approach ?
2- Can we use the same Oracle Home for multiple Oracle databases ? The purpose is after the above copy of volumes/OS from first server, we will just copy the offline backup data/redo log files/control files/init.ora file from the second source DB server to the target, and will startup the additional instance. Will this approach work ?
Thanks for your time..
Rgds,
Himansu

We plan to move few Oracle 9i databases from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.2.I think it is from AIX 5.2 to AIX 5.3.
1- We plan to backup the volumes having Oracle_Home and datafiles along with the complete OS and restore these on the target server. Will Oracle installation work on the target with this approach ?As far as I know yes. The installation should work as we can even move homes in AIX and hot-swap the drives.
2- Can we use the same Oracle Home for multiple Oracle databases ? The purpose is after the above copy of volumes/OS from first server, we will just copy the offline backup data/redo log files/control files/init.ora file from the second source DB server to the target, and will startup the additional instance. Will this approach work ?Yes. Same home can accomodate the same versions databases. The approach is pefectly OK.

Regarding Migration projects

Hi ,
Could any one give some scenerios of migration project in ABAP.
I understood Migration Projects as..." customers are migrating from older versions like 4.5 or 4.6b, 4.6c to ECC 5.0 or ECC 6.0 versions.So we support them"
But please provide me with some real world scenarios.

Sagar,
For instance, your customer has an R/3 4.0B installation, and would like to upgrade to ERP 2004. But his 4.0B contains a lot of custom developments (reports, online transactions - all in customer's namespace (Z../Y..)) and also contains customizations made through user-exits (see for instance include MV45AFZZ, with transaction SE38) or customer-exits (there are a lot of them in the standard system, waiting to be used - see transactions CMOD & SMOD) or BADIs (not as many as the customer-exits, but SAP is increasing the number of BADIs in the standard every day - see transactions SE18 & SE19).
There are also other ways the standard can be customized through source code, WITHOUT MODIFICATION, like the output & copy control routines in SD for instance.
What you have to do is to copy the code of all these developments & customizations in the new system (those the customer decides he wants to have migrated) and to make sure that, in the new system, they return the same kind of results like in the old system.
If standard MODIFICATIONS were made in the old system, the situation is even more complicated, because:
- these source code modifications were made in SAP's standard applications, as they were written in 4.0B;
- in the meantime (that is, in ERP 2004) SAP obviously changed / improved / rewrote these applications to keep the old functionalities, but also to include new ones, or to simply do the same thing the old version did, but more efficiently.
So, in this case, you can't simply copy the source code and hope it will work in the new version, and a more insightful analysis is required.
Hope this clarifies.

Remove workbook template after migration

Hi @ll,
we have migrated all our workbooks fom 3.5 --> 7.0. In 7.0 we have created a new workbook template. How can I remove the old template from the workbook and replace it with the new one?
Thanks in advance..
Regards,
Flo

Hi Sunil,
As mentioned earlier, the problem is not with refresh. Its with loosing the format after the refresh. As a background, someone from my company had formatted all the 3.1 workbooks using Excel formatting options and they made few settings so that they won't loose the existing custom format. It worked well in 3.1. Now when migrated, the issue has started. When migrated to 7.0. style, the format is there.
It won't let you do anything unless u refresh the workbook with new variable values.
Once refreshed, the custom format disappears.
As a temporary solution, we are migrating the workbooks, copy each worksheet and perform a paste special on new worksheet. Then refresh the workbook(now we see a workbook without the custom formatting). Then copy the format(which was pasted earlier using 'paste special') and paste it on the refreshed workbook.
Then we have used 7.0 setting to keep the custom format.
So my issue is, we just want the format to be unlost even after the refresh(the first refresh) in 7.0.
Regards
Shanthi
