Role of BI Consultant in ECC SP Upgrade

HI All,
What will be the Role of a BW Consultant in ECC Support Pack (SP) Upgrade?
What are the activities to be carried out by a BW Consultant i.e. Pre-SP Upgrade and
Post-SP Upgrade?
Thanks,
Prasapbi

Hi,
The very important task after ECC upgrade for a BI consultant is to check whether all the flows from ECC to BW are intact. In this it covers standard extractors and generic extractors.
In case of generic extractors you don't need to much worry about as they are created by customer but just make sure that all of them are active.
But for standard extractors you will have to check whether any existing extractors has become obsolute and SAP has brought in new extractor for that and such kind of things. And check that all the flows are working fine by scheduling process chains in BI.
You will have to check whether all yours deltas are intact.
Regards,
Durgesh.

Thanks

Dear Anto,
In Technical SAP,Upgrade from 4.6 to 6.0- the role of any fucntional consultant would involved integrated with the technical Consultant.
The phase starts with the technical Patches apply to the latest stack level which will done by the BASIS Consultants.
Once the System preparation is happened, the next phase is with SPDD phase, Thru this transaction the dictionary Objects-Database elements, database tables and structures of teh latest system can be
compared with the old system.
This results in the version modification results between the old and New versions. During this phase the involvement of the Functional Consultant needed for the tech guy, to identify the functional chnages between the two version (Old and New). Which helps for him either to Reset to Original(ie., adopting the new one) or Adopt Modification in previous system(ie., adopting to older functionality)
Once this is done, the System Upgradation will be done by the BASI, the system will be replaced with new system. At teh end of this phase SPAU phase starts, which inturn reults with version difference in the field namely, Programs, Reports, Screens, Messages, Notes an Function Modules. Here too the involvement of functional consultant neede to determine either reset to original or to go with Adopt modification from the older design, as explained earlier.
At teh end of the, moreover the functional consultant role involved in testing the Entire processes and transactoin in the system for system dump and bugs, in necessity to correct teh same and results with nil errors in production client.
Also the Zprograms invloved in the older versions, needs to be examined for the actual need, and to be justified with adoption in the newer version or by adopting to the updated functionality in the newer version.
Hope this may give better clarity in the involvement of the Functional Consultant in the Updgrade project.

Hello,
If the project is of technical up gradation then with no functionality changed, Then the job of abap consultant is critical, right from creating spdd and spau, interfaces, debug the new programs and fix the bugs if exists in the new programs. The functional consultant has to test the new system from functions point of view; functional consultant is responsible for taking user acceptance test before going on live to the new system.

What level of certification is required for ECC 6 upgrades?

Hi everyone,
I'm already a ceritifed SAP technology consultant (up to NW2004), however need to update my certification for ECC 6 (netweaver 7).
What is the appropriate exam to sit (eg associate or professional) to be allowed to perform productive SAP ECC 6 upgrades?
Thanks
Shaun

Hi everyone,
Major update on the "do you need to be certified" topic ...
I finally got a reply from SAP Education regarding two queries I had regarding what level of certification was required as a basis "guy" to perform production SAP installations and upgrades.
SAP Education wrote:
You don't need to be certified to do installations. In reality, customers will have much more comfort having an install done by someone who is certified rather than someone who isnu2019t, but ultimately itu2019s the customeru2019s call.
I then asked if this was applicable for SAP upgrades also ...
SAP Education wrote:
Hi Shaun,
Indeed it is.
Best of luck!
I then went on to clarify that their is no support implications for customers who don't you certified Basis personel to perform their upgrades/installs:
Shaun wrote:
So your saying that although itu2019s preferable to be certified ... you donu2019t have to be, and there is no impact to the support provided by SAP?
SAP Education wrote:
Ultimately, SAP cannot mandate for individuals (excluding those employed by SAP) or SAP Partners to be certified to work on projects. However, customers and partners will employ the consultants to work on the projects, from what we have seen recently customers and partners are now asking for SAP certified consultants to work on implementation and upgrade projects.
Thus we suggest to have an advantage to be employed on future SAP projects that you are certified in the solution you will be working on, or upgrading to.
Example: If you are looking to work on an upgrade from CRM 5.0 to CRM 7.0 the customer would look for certified consultants in CRM 7.0
So it is solely up to you if you wish to certify yourself in the latest release of the solution you are working in.
I then rang SAP education and had a very pleasant discussion with one of the ladies there. She went on to explain that the requirement for certification really became an optional thing a few years back. SAP was no longer in a position not to support customers regardless of who they use to perform their upgrades/installs since a customer continues to pay their yearly maintenance costs - thus SAP is obligated to provide support.

New Development project in the middle of ECC EHP7 upgrade project

Hi All,
We are performing ECC EHP7 upgrade project in our project system landscape and i have already started Dev system upgrade.Suddenly our development team wants to perform new project which required to install add-on product from third party application. Installing new add-on will require us to regenerate stack.xml file right? if that is the case do we need to perform re upgrade to Dev right?. As per my knowledge this is not recommended to perform parallel project with upgrade project.
Is there any best practice or recommended method to perform multiple projects with upgrade project at the same time.
Thanks,
Raghu

Hi Raghu,
First here i would like to suggest you & your development team i.e during an upgrade project dual maintenance is required as per SUM guide,as per SUM guide you need to maintain parallel systems to perform regular activities, for same you could refer SUM guides and follow the standard procedures.
Installing new add-on will require us to regenerate stack.xml file right?
Yes you need to regenerate the stack.xml file .
if that is the case do we need to perform re upgrade to Dev right?
If you are under upgrade phase no need to perform re upgrade,required add on can be installed after completion of an upgrade as per availability for EHP7.
Try to avoid perform multiple projects with upgrade project .

Gaurav

SAP Query in ECC 6 Upgradation

Hi All ,
I am working in an ECC 6 Upgradation project , upgrading from 4.6 C to ECC 6.
Somebody told me , Query cann't be coppied from 4.6 C to ECC 6.
Is it true ? If so what is the alternative ?
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Srikanta

Hi Srikanta,
U didnt need to re-copy all the queries. When you upgrade from 4.6, the new version of sap does not default to the correct query area. You merely need to point it to the correct one. Just set a parameter against you own user data called AQW and leave the parameter value blank.
Take a look at OOS note 672784.
You can transport queries between systems in SQ02 (by using the lorry button) or run report RSAQR3TR.
You download the infosets, queries etc into a file and load them into whichever system you wish.
Hope it will be useful.

Lakshman.

In PP Interface related issues the role of functional consultant

In PP Interface related issues what is the role of functional consultant . what is the approach steps to analyse and resolve the issues in XI, interface, idoc, etc.,

For issues relating to interfaces, a functional person would need to diagnose what is causing the issue & thereby informing the technical person where to fix it, if the issue is due to system setup.
As regards to the steps, I just wish there was a manual which read something like
10 steps on how to analyze....
unfortunately there is none that I have come across or even if one is ever written on those lines will be very specific, so not much of use for your need. A good approach would be to have a clear understanding of what the interface is supposed to do, which would assist you in fixing the issues.

Replicating authorization roles via HR replication from ECC 6 to SRM 5.0

Hi,
I'm interested in knowing whether anyone has used the distribution model to copy roles (AG objects) between ECC 6 and SRM 5.0.
Someone said that it's possible so I would like to validate that statement as I don't know whether it is possible and practical.
If you have any knowledge or experience could you please share it?
Regards,
Jerry

Hello Yann,
I was told that it can be done but I don't know enough about the HR replication process to acknowledge or challenge, hence the question.
Are you implying that it's not possible or simply that it's not done?
I had an earlier post regarding assigning roles to positions in SRM Replicating authorization roles via HR replication from ECC 6 to SRM 5.0 that you replied to but never replied to my subsequent question. It can be done because one of my other clients is doing it. We're however unable to get it work at my current client's site. Do you have any experience with this subject?

Jerry

Hi Raj,
I understand your doubt!
Functional consultant is a broad term used for all functional people working on a project. You need to identify the area you are working on, hence would have different roles and responsibilities for the same.
The following threads can help you get direction towards resolving your query:
