SAP 4.6C to ECC 6.0 Upgrade.Issues in Workflows

Hi Gurus
Can anyone please enumerate the list of issues likely to arise
when sap is upgraded from 4.6C to ECC 6.0.

There is a wonderfule document in SDN related to upgrade from 4.6 to ECC 6.0. Please check that it is self explanatory and is of great help.
Check this link

4.6C to ECC 6.0 upgrade - Issue with Virsa Compliance Calibrator

The issue is that phase IS_SELECT during the PREPARE is not detecting VIRSA as an add-on. This of course will result in VIRSA not being upgraded and the system will be unstable ( note 989368 ). Also, I can't choose to delete the add-on either.
We installed the compliance calibrator before SAP purchased VIRSA. So, the tool was installed through transports, not SAINT. I assume this is why phase IS_SELECT is not seeing the tool.
Any ideas?
-Scott

Received a reply from SAP. Since VIRSA was installed through STMS the IS_SELECT phase will not see the add-on. I had to do the ECC 6 upgrade as normal and then install VIRSA 4.0 for SAP 700 systems through SAINT.
I had to clear SPDD and SPAU as much as possible for /VIRSA/* objects. However, there were six objects I could not clear. This did not cause any issues.
Notes 1006083 and 985617 are needed for this procedure.
Thanks for all the suggestions.

SAP R/3 4.6C Cable Solutions upgrade to ECC 6.0 DIMP

Hi all.
We are planning to upgrade SAP R/3 4.6C system (Cable solutions) to an SAP ECC 6.0 (EHP4 - DIMP). We have few questions related to this upgrade.
1. Since Cable solutions add-on is no more available in ECC 6.0 and its getting replaced with DIMP, what kind of data conversion/migration we need to perform before or after upgrade?
2. Is there a data migration document available in SDN or SMP? We could not find such document though the note 664712 says there is a document ""Migration from Cable Solution V4.6C/1A to DIMP""
3. Does the data conversion/migration will happen from SAP 4.6C to ECC 6.0 or it needs an SCM system?
Thanks & Regards
Senthil

Thank you for your reply Gerald & Sunny.
Still I am not clear on the following
1. Where do we get the CS-to-DIMP-Migration-Guide.pdf document?
2. Is SCM a mandatory? or all CS data can be migrated to ECC 6.0 DIMP system?
would appreciate, if someone can throw some insight
Regards
Senthil

Upgradation Minimum sp level & kernel level for SAP 4.7 to ECC 6.0

Hi,
We recently created a test box , copy of devolopment.
We are running on SAP 4.7 with sap_basis and sap_abap with sp level 46.
SAP 4.7 with kernel release 640 and kernel patch version 155.
Oracle 9i.
What is minimum support pack level and kernel patch level required to upgrade from sap 4.7 to ecc 6.0.
As per threads it looks like kernel patch version should be 175.
Can any one guide me with sap note which provides the info of minimum sp level and kerenl patch level.

The source system requires a certain support package level (that is described in the upgrade guides) because the tools that to the import require them.
So the easiest way is to check the upgrade guides and the mentioned notes which is the minimum support package level for the source system to start the upgrade.
The target level must be at least equivalent or higher.

SAP R/3 4.6 C to ECC 6.0 Upgrade using CU &UC method- Unicode conversion

Basis Gurus
   I am working on upgrade from R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0.
ECC 6.0 upgrade completed( still in non Unicode). Now I am in the process of Unicode conversion.
I have used following methods for the upgrade.
1. Combined Upgrade & Unicode conversion(CU & UC)
2. Resource minimized( as I am doing it in Sandbox).
As I understand I need to perform the DB export and Import now for the unicode conversion.
According to the Upgrade document, First I need to run Export using R3load in ECC6.0(Non unicode)
and then install Unicode system and import the same data file.
My understanding was, when I choose, Resource minimized, I need to run Export and import
in the same system.
Can you please help me , whether I need another Unicode system for import ??
Graham

Hi,
Dont get confused with upg strategy and unicode conversion.
In general Upgrade strategy (either downtime-minimized/resource minimized)
In unicode conversion you have export/import(exp/imp) of data concept
In CU&UC approach you have to do in a streach to complete migrate from old release to new realease ECC 6.00.
Using database independent (sapinst only) or Using database dependent (migration monitor or Distribution monitor)
It can be done in 2 ways.
If you dont have addtional server for unicode conversion
       1)you can either do exp on same hardware and take bakup and do import using the exp dump.
       2)Do exp on one server and prepare your target empty database on another server and complete imp of data.
Hope this is clear.

Vamshi.

We have alreacy checked note 1002147, which clearly states that we have to include SAPK-523EXINVIRSAHR in the upgrade. SAP_HR is part of the upgrade.
We have included SAP_HR and other Support Package as per the queue generated by Solution Manager, but we did not include VIRSAHR & VIRSANH Packages until we got to this phase. We then included these support packages in eps\in directory, but we are now getting this error now.
Any ideas?
Regards
Chandu

Hi
This is what the solution provided by SAP Support:
Quote:
we have finally found the problem, it's a bug in the package upload
functionality used by the upgrade. The consequence of this bug is that
Support Packages whose EPS files (.PAT files) have a certain string in
the name, namely the string 0000000 after the _ and before .PAT
extension, are not properly uploaded to the ABAP system and hence are
not visible or known to the upgrade.
This bug will be fixed in the next upgrade tool fix, but in the meantimeyou can use the following workaround:
Check your EPS/in directory after the CAR/SAR Archives of the SPs are
extracted and rename all .PAT and .ATT files, which have a name like
*_0000000.PAT (or *_0000000.ATT), by changing the string 0000000 to
9000000. For example, for the VIRSANH SP SAPK-52302INVIRSANH rename the
file VS30020106486_0000000.PAT to VS30020106486_9000000.PAT
Afterwards, the upgrade will upload the informations about the SP
properly and the SP can be included into the upgrade.
Files:
31/01/2007 07:32 329 VS30020106486_0000000.ATT
31/01/2007 07:32 554,073 VS30020106486_0000000.PAT
If these two files are renamed to e.g.
VS30020106486_9000000.ATT
VS30020106486_9000000.PAT
the affected VIRSANH SP2 is uploaded correctly by the upgrade
functionality and the SP inclusion of the VIRSANH SPs works.
Sorry, as of now I cannot promise you a date when the tool fix will be
available. I have found this bug only today in the evening (german time)and will discuss this with the responsible colleagues tomorrow.
Afterwards, I will know more...
Unquote:
Hope this helps. We have decided against upgrading to 530_700 as it will involve upgrading GRC system and also new version has lot of new functionalities, which we like explore it after the ECC upgrade.
Also, I would not suggest deleting VIRSAHR as all the config and customising done for VIRSAHR will be lost.

Issues in ECC 6.0 upgrade

Hello,
We are doing an upgrade from SAP 4.7 to ECC 6.0. In step 2C of SU25 we get a large number of roles in "RED". How do we identify if any additions or changes have happened to these roles. Please help
Many thanks
Vijaya

Hello Vijayalakshmi,
pls use the search function in this forum (for instance <SU25> returns 11 hits, for instance this one: https://forums.sdn.sap.com/click.jspa?searchID=13818484&messageID=5409652
> How do we identify if any additions or changes have happened to these roles. Please help
>
Well, if the roles are listed in SU25/2c, then there have been changes to that roles. In normal cases the SU24 values for the contained transactions have been changed or the transactions themeselves got changed/removed/replaced.
The documentation for SU25 is quite good and gives some valuable information too.
I hope this gives you a starting point for your upgrade project.
Last tipp: it is not a good ideay, to skip SU25 after the upgrade. Sooner or later you will have to perform this task to avoid losts of reclamations regarding missing authorizations from your users.

Load balancing after ECC 6.0 upgrade

Hi
I we this configuration on ECC 6.0 upgrade:
SAPGUI 7.10
SAP_BASIS 700 Patch level 15
SAPportal ESS
Webdispatcher Installed
Internal ITS
Single sign-on
Can somebody assist as with identifying the problem with load balancing (PUBLIC) E.g. When running ESS remuneration package via the Sapportal. we have configured ITS-Based GUI Services on transaction SICF for customised ZESS_PZ11PDF service.
When we have load balancing group on the load balancing does not work, because I see somebodyu2019s payslip
but when using one app server I see my own payslip. Please help.

Hi PR,
Please take a look at the following link:-
http://help.sap.com/SAPHELP_NWPI71/helpdata/EN/28/75153a1a5b4c2de10000000a114084/frameset.htm
"You can only use the SAP message server for HTTP load distribution if
the browser is the direct client of the message server. If another
component lies between the client (browser) and the message server, (for
example, the portal), you cannot use the message server to distribute
the load."
When using the External ITS you could balance the load using the message server and logon groups. In 700 this functionality is not present if there is not a direct connection to the client (Firefox or IE). So you will have to install the webdispatcher to balance the load.
Hope this helps

Hardware requariment for ECC 6.0 upgrade from ECC 5.0

Hello
I am on ECC 5.0 with oracle 9.2.0.7.I need to upgrade this to ECC 6.0.
I have already implemented MM,PP,FICO,QM and HCM.My current data base size is 900GB.This has 30GB monthly growth.
With this ECC 6.0 upgrade i am planing to implement PM,EP.
I know converting none Unicode system to unicode system is required some more hardware resources than the none Unicode.
Some document says 40-60% more disk space and 35% more processing speed from current system.
Can any one give me the correct information about the hardware requirement for ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0 upgrade.
Thanks

OM and PA data transfer from SAP 4.7 to ECC 6.0

Dear Experts,
hi
i am working on one project where i will need to design the data transfer from SAP 4.7 to ECC 6.0. this is not a upgrade project.
the data of PA and OM are in 4.7 which is existing system. i need to transfer entire data into ECC 6.0 so i can use that data for my E-Recruitment module ( we are doing E-rec fresh implementation.)
we will keep both the systems (4.7 and ECC 6.0). ECC 6.0 will be used for E-Rec and OM only. for PA and Payroll we will use 4.7.
can some one tell me,
1. what are the key points to keep in consideration from OM point of view ?
2. which is the best method to transfer the OM structure and data from 4.7 to ECC?
3. what are the risks?
4. which system we should make master system and which will be the slave system? why ?
your input will be much appreciated.
thanks and regards
chandra

Hi Chandra,
I was under the impression that you are planning to use PA & OM from 4.7, now I read it again.
Now its advisable to keep ECC 6 as a master system, becoz OM is the stating point of the HR processes where all Orgnization unit, job, position exists. Later the same data can flow to the slave system for PA use. As OM is the starting point, this system should be the master system.
Abou the IDoc interface.
Check the basic type HRMS_A05, whether it has all the data you need to transmit. T-Code WE30
If you need to add something you can create a Z version in WE31. I selected HRMS_A05 as it is present in both the SAP version.
Next there are series of transaction you need to process. Check with technical person who hands IDoc interafcing.
Steps are:
Assigning Message type to IDOC Type with extension. T-Code WE82
Create Logical System:
T-Code SALE-> Basic Settings-> Logical Systems-> Define Logical System
It is required to configure in the sending system as well as in the receiving system
Assign Logical System to Client:
T-Code SALE-> Basic Settings-> Logical Systems-> Assign Logical System to Client
Create RFC Destinations:
T-Code SM59, select ABAP connection of type 3.
Create Distribution Model: T-Code BD64
Generate Partner Profile: T-Code BD82
Maintain sending system partner profile: T-Code WE20
Link Message Type to Function Module T-Code WE57 in receiving system only
Hope this will help.
Let me know if you need anything else.
