Role of Time Mgmt functional consultant during SAP Upgrade from 4.7 to ECC6

Hi,
Could anyone explain the role of a time management functional consultant during SAP upgrade from R/3 4.7 to ECC6.0. Please provide me if you got any documentation.
Thanks,
Sunny

"After you upgrade to SAP ERP 6.0, you can enhance the functionality of your application without performing a further
upgrade thanks to a new deployment technology u2013 the SAP enhancement package for SAP ERP. The enhancement
packages simplify the way you manage and deploy new software functions for SAP ERP." - that is the real benefit of ECC 6.0
There aren't any major changes to PTM functionalities from 4.7 to 6.0. I hope your system is already using IT 2006 instead of IT 0005. Under functional role, you are required to configure/test any functional upgrade and manage data.
Regards
Yash

    As a functional consultant, what are the checks need to be performed?
    Got OSS note's side effect report from SAP which consists of apprx 60 notes that need to be applied post SP15 upgradation.
    Could any one share their experience how to assess these OSS notes & their side effects. It would be beneficial if you can share any sample template showing the assessment work done & its validation by Business.
    What are the effects on existing business process (new functionalites and enhancements).
    And do we need to involve the end user/ Business for performing the integration testing & Quality testing.
    Thanks a lot.

    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.

    I have got privileged of working on some C4C assignments & as far as my vision goes. A CRM Technical consultant is an integral part of any C4C/implementation or AMS environment.
    C4C has a real time integration/initial migration and a day to day basis data flow possible from Backend SAP CRM system. At Backend CRM, XIF adapter is tapped extensively to leverage these functionalities & as a CRM consultant it is not tough to adapt to the Cloud environment of C4C as well but Yes the UI technology has changed as well the view layouts.

    yrs putting as a support. is it ok, otherwise plez suggest me.
    can u tell me the role and responsibilities for implemetation
    and support, bcoz iam putting two projects so i have to put
    role & responsibilities both are should be different.
    plez send me as soon as possible...................

    Hi Sravan,
    Types of Consultants:
    The most common question being asked in interviews is ' What are your roles and responsibilities?'.
    Before answering the above question, let me explain the difference between Functional consultant and
    Technical consultant.
    Roles and responsibilities differ from functional consultant to Technical consultant.
    <b>Functional Consultant:</b>
    Functional consultants are responsible for designing the SAP implementation solution based on the
    requirements of your company.
    Functional consultants are business process experts.
    Functional consultants normally use their process knowledge to calculate the impact of the SAP
    implementation on the company's processes.
    Functional consultants are thus concerned with SAP functions and processes that will generate the data
    and output for business.
    Functional consultants interact with end users of the company to gather requirements and based on the
    requirements they customize the SAP implementation.
    <b>Technical Consultant:</b>
    Technical consultants are experts in information technology.
    Technical consultants normally assist in configuration of the SAP R3 installation. In many SAP
    implementations, technical consultants help in designing interfaces and customizations in R3. Finally, the
    SAP R3 technical consultants would be responsible for migration of data from the legacy system to the new
    SAP ERP implementation.
    Here i will discuss major roles and responsibilities of a technical consultant:
    1) Designing technical specification by looking at the functinal specification you have recieved.
    Usually senior developers having 3 years or more than 3 years of experience involves in preparing technical
    specifications.
    2) Developing objects using ABAP workbench tools. That may be a report program or an on-line program or a
    custom table.
    Remember the development work starts after the technical specification is approved by your team leader.
    3) Preparing the Unit test case document.
    In unit test case document, we document the results and test cases performed on the developed object.
    4) Peer Review
    if you are a senior developer you can perform peer review. I.e review the code written by your peers.
    5) Working on Problem Tickets
    If you are working in a support project, you should solve the tickets assigned to you. Tickets are nothing but
    the problems occured in production environment.
    The above mentioned are the major roles and responsibilities for a technical consultant

  • What is the role of a HR functional consultant in the ESS/MSS configuration

    Hi Guys,
    If someone can suggest me what is the role of a HR functional person in the ESS/MSS or EP configuration and what needs to be done to achieve that..
    Thanks,
    ~RJ

    I think, HR Functional consultant role should  mandatory for ESS/MSS. ESS/MSS are user interface technologies but behind the scene. It is all about HR FC. In order to learn ESS/MSS you should start base NetWeaver Architecture & Iviews concept.
    You will find it more easy since you knw back-end.

  • New for ABAP in functional upgrade from 4.6c to ECC6.0

    i want to know the enhancements, additions and changes in the technical side/ABAP , when moved from 4.6c to ECC6.0 in case of FUNCTIONAL UPGRADE only....
    our compny has done FUNCTIONAL UPGRADE so far..whats new for technical ppl like us apart from changing bdcs, some missing functions, etc...
    thanx,
    Naveen Vishal

    Hi
    Technical upgrade is the fast upgrade without additional functionality but with minor user interface changes to ensure business continuity.  In the past, all objects modified by a customer had to be manually re-modified during an upgrade. Now, modifications are either automatically adopted or the system provides you with an assistant for adjusting your modifications to the newly upgraded configuration using transactin SPAU and SPDD.
    SPDD:  This transaction allows you to adjust modifications to ABAP Dictionary objects during an upgarde.
    Using this transaction we can adjust the Domains, Data Elements, Tables, Strcutures, Transparent tables, pooled and cluster tables including their technical settings, indexs of transparent tables. If you adjust data elements that have been changed with the Modification Assistant in an earlier release, the changes can be copied automatically.
    Steps to run SPDD: 
           1.      1)  Start transaction SE03 as user DDIC and choose Administration ® Set system change option
           2.      2)  Select Modifiable in the Global setting dialog box.
           3.      3) Choose Continue.
           4.      4) Choose Edit ® Select all.
           5.      5) Save your changes.
           6.      Then log on as a normal user, since user DDIC may not perform any repairs.
    SPAU:  This transaction allows you to adjust programs, function modules, screens, interfaces, documentation and text elements after an upgrade.
    After you adjusted or edited an object, you can use User/Status function to modify the status of the object. Before doing this, you can also add other developers or testers that are allowed to edit the object and create a short note.
    Steps to run SPAU:
    1) Start transaction SE03 as user DDIC and choose Tools ® Administration ® Set system change option.
           2.      2)  Select Modifiablein the Global setting dialog box.
           3.      3) Choose Continue.
           4.      4) Choose Edit ® Select all.
           5.      5) Save your entries.
           6.      Then log on as a normal user, since user DDIC may not perform any repairs.
    Other important topics in Technical Upgrade:
    Updaring the Development System: Perform the adjust int he development system using SPDD and SPAU transctions and assign to transport requests.  The upgrade control program R3up exports the transport that you have marked in a later upgrade phase.
    Upgrading the Production System: During this phase, the R3up upgrade control program checks whether there are any change requests registered for transport from the development system to the production system. If this is the case, R3up offers to import the transport automatically, instead of you carrying out adjustments with transactions SPDD/SPAU. If you choose this procedure, you still have the option of stopping SPDD/SPAU to check the changes accepted automatically before they are activated.
    If you decide to import a transport automatically, a subsequent analysis checks whether there is an entry in the transport you specified for each modified object found in this SAP System. Only if this is the case is the transport marked as suitable.
    If there are more modified objects in the production system than in the test system, they cannot be dealt with by the transport. This means that you have to adjust these objects.
    If you had more modified objects in the test system than in the production system and these are also contained in the transport, you import these into the production system with the transport

  • Issues during technical upgrade from 4.6c to ecc 6.0

    Hi
    We are doing a technical upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0. Some transactions in QM module when tested in ECC 6.0 test client give a abap termination message (or dump) and certain transactions like qs42,46, qa18, qs34 etc do not get executed (error = no entry foound for......) and similarly in PP-PI module transactions like C203 have similar problems, even though master data does exist. What should I look for?  Can somebody pl. give details on configuration checks and the OSS notes from a functional point of view for a technical upgrade?
    For certain transactions I get the error message - "Central system of distribution SM-P06CLNT430_TRUSTED is unreachable RFC destination SM_P06CLNT430_Trusted does not exist" - what does this mean?
    thanks
    BE

    Hi,
    1. Have you done successfull installation from 4.6C to ECC 6.0 at the time of PrePare ans SAPUP?
    2. Check SP' for QM and PP-PI modules from http://service.sap.com/sp-stacks.
    3. Configure RFC connections correctly, SM_<SID>CLNT<No>_Trusted automatically created, not manually.
    http://service.sap.com/notes --> search for RFC trusted connections for Ecc 6.0
