SAP BW 3.5 Upgrade to Netweaver 7 with SEM-BW and FINBASIS

Hi,
We are currently planning the upgrade of our SAP Business Warehouse 3.5 environment to Netweaver 7.0 EHP2 SPS6. However our BW 3.5 environment also has FINBASIS 300 and SEM-BW 400.
SAP Note 852448 discusses the requirements for upgrade FINBASIS and SEM-BW to a Netweaver 7.00 environment, but does not mention anything about enhancement pack 2 SPS6 for NW 7.
Can we upgrade from:
BW 3.5 / FINBASIS 300 / SEM-BW 400
to
NW 7.0 EHP2 SPS6 / FINBASIS 600 / SEM-BW 600
or are restricted to only upgrading to:
NW 7.00 (no enhancement packs) / FINBASIS 600 / SEM-BW 600
If we can apply the NW EHP2 SPS6 files, then are there associated FINBASIS and SEM-BW EHP/SPS files we need to be aware of?
Regards
Shaun

Hi Kevin,
I confirmed with SAP Development Support (Germany) that we CAN NOT remove the SEM-BW and FINBASIS components during the upgrade.
As EHP5 is not available yet for the SEM-BW / FINBASIS components that leaves you with the only option to upgrade to BI 7.01 (EHP1). You can't use the maintenance optermiser to determine the files you need so you will have to go old-school and download the add-on components, and support packs to bind-in manually.
I did this about two weeks ago with no problems at all. The upgrade was extremely easy, once you had all the correct add-on components and support packs downloaded and extracted into EPS/in. Just run PREPARE a few times if your concerned with what you have downloaded, but I had a consistent queue with very little effort.
Cheers
Shaun

Just upgraded an iMac with 4GB Memory and Intel Processor from 10.6.8 to Mavericks and Quicktime plays m4v files with stuttering audio

I just upgraded an iMac with 4GB Memory and 3.33 Ghz Intel Core Duo Processor from 10.6.8 to Mavericks. I now have Quicktime 10.3 which plays m4v files with stuttering audio. This is a nightmare as I use Quicktime a lot in my research. I have seen similar threads but so far only reporting the problem. For now I have installed Quicktime Player 10.7 (which appears in utilities, leaving Quicktime 10.3 in the main applications list) which plays the same videos with no problem, but it would be good to know if anyone has managed to find a workaround at all, or know if Apple have plans to do anything about it?

Slow performance after installing Yosemite on an older Mac is often caused by inadequate memory. Although you can install the upgrade on a Mac with 2 GB of memory, experience has shown that at least 4 GB is needed for full performance.
Select About This Mac from the Apple menu. If you have less than 4 GB of memory, and your model has upgradable memory, install as much as it can take, or at least that much. Any reputable RAM vendor will have a web form in which you can select the Mac model and be directed to compatible parts.

Can I upgrade my laptop with additional RAM and a SSD Drive.

Hello, Well I am on the following system :- HP Pavilion 14-v015tu Notebook PCModel #: J3Z65PA It has a 4GB RAM and I want to upgarde it with additional 4GB of memory putting it to 8GB of RAM. Also I am on Windows 10 currently the OS is quite slow on my HDD and I have been thinking to switch to SSD.I need help that can i upgrade my laptop with a 512GB SSD and if yes what size and stuff as I cant find information about the form factor,inches,size,etc of my current HDD.Also will it fit properly and stuff? Also my main concern is warranty.Does my warranty gets void if I upgrade ? Thanks

The backup is an issue, but you can always mail your work to your self… but the mail server has to be configured the way that mails are not deleted.
The more elegant way is "MobileMe", you can use it as a storage and save your work there.
Keep in mind, the iPad is limited to what you can do with the Apps, so check first if there are some Apps for the work you need to do…
enjoy your magic machine

Upgrade Retail Win7HP with Retail Win7P and Preserve Win7HP License for Another PC?

I purchased a retail version of Win7 Professional.
I want to upgrade a retail version of Win7 Home Premium to Win7 Professional and be able to install Home Premium on another PC. I want to avoid a hard drive reformat during the upgrade and preserve the Home Premium key product key for activation on another
computer. I'm willing to make a phone call to activate Home Premium on the second computer.
Will this upgrade process work?
The current Win7 HP install is clean. It was performed last week.
Thanks, Doug

Hi,
Yes, we can use Windows Anytime Upgrade to upgrade the system.
The retail key can be used for clean install and upgrade.
Here is the steps regarding how to open WAU:

SAP ProductCosting in parallel by plant (same company) with ECC6.0 and EHP5

Hi SAP Community,
I did hear rumours that with ECC6.0 and EHP5 it is possible to execute product costing per plant in parallel, even the plants belong to the same company code. Currently, the lock is on company code level, means if I try to create a second background job with a plant belonging to the same company code, I am getting an error message.
I checked the SAP release notes for EHP5 but didnt find any direct related information.
Thanks

Hi,
Did you check note 1415153 ? This seems to explain the new functionality
regards
Waman

No, if you are using the Music app you are playing them on your iPhone.

SAP Netweaver with BI/BW content Trial

I was planning on some training myself on the SAP BW and was looking to download any trial version out there for the SAP Netweaver with BI/BW content. I have seen a couple of versions NW 2004 for Linux, NW 7.01 for ABAP and NW 7.02 for ABAP that are named on the SDN but the first two versions that i have mentioned dont have any valid links and they dont exist in the SAP Knowledge Shop either. The only version that is available is the NW 7.02 for ABAP but this trial version doesnt include the BI/BW content in it.
I would appreciate if someone can help me finding a valid trial download links for NW which has the BI/BW content in it. Any version would help me.
Thanks,
Basarath
Edited by:Basarath on Jan 7, 2012 6:08 PM

Like I explained, the version NW 7.01 download links are no longer valid and the post that you have referenced refer to 7.01.
The links for 7.02 version are valid but it doesn't have the BW content in it. Here is the link that clearly explains my scenario
Setting up a SAP BI/BW System based on the SAP ABAP Trial
I would need a trial version that has BI/BW content in the installation file.
Anyways, I have found some paid remote server access to SAP BW on one of the websites.
Thanks for taking some time to look into this thread.

Need to identify SAP Netweaver with PI installed

Hi All,
I need to identify SAP component version in ABAP code. for that I am retrieving status of the system fr0m CVERS_TXT table.
but for identifying PI system it is returning u2018SAP Netweaveru2019 which is not valid because if it only Netweaver without PI installed then also it will consider SAP system as PI.
So need to figure out exact table or transaction from where i can get this information.
I need to differentiate the pure SAP netweaver system and SAP netweaver with PI.
Please guide on the same.
Thanks in advance,
Arati.
Edited by: Arati Kale on Jan 3, 2012 6:49 AM

Hi Shantanu,
Thanks for your response.
I checked SXMB_ADMIN transaction and on PI system it is showing role of busniess system as 'Integration server'. I checked the same on other system without PI it is showing role of busniess system as 'Not yet configured'.
So I want to just check what will be role of busniess system when PI is installed but basic configuration is not yet done.
Thanks,
Arati.

Performance Issue with RF Scanners after SAP Enhancement Pack 5 Upgrade

We are on component version SAP ECC 6.0, and recently upgraded to Enhancement Pack 5. I believe we are on Net Weaver 7.10, and using RF scanners in one plant that is Warehouse Managed. Evidentially when we moved to EHP5, the Web SAP Console went away and we are left with ITS Mobile. This has created several issues and continues to be a performance barrier for the forklift drivers in the warehouse. We see there is a high use of java script, and the processors canu2019t handle this. When we login to tcode LM00, on a laptop or desktop computer, there are no performance issues. When we login to tcode LM00, with the RF scanners, the system is very slow. It might take 30 seconds to confirm one item on a WM Transfer Order.
1.) Can we revert back to Web SAP Console, after we have upgraded to EHP5?
2.) What is creating the performance issues with the RF Scanners now that we switched over to SAP ITS mobile?
Our RF Scanners are made by Intermec, but I donu2019t think that is where the solution lies. One person in our IT Operations has spent a good deal of time configuring SAPITS to get it to work, but still it isnu2019t performing.

Tom,
I am sorry I did not see this earlier.
I'm currently working on a very similar project with ITS mobile and the problem is to accurately determine the root cause of the problem in the least amount of time. The tool that works is found here: http://www.connectrf.com/index.php/mcm/managed-diagnostics/
Isolating the network from the application and the device is a time consuming process unless you have a piece of software that can trace the HTTP transaction between host and device on both wired and wireless side of the network. Once that is achieved (as with Connect's tool) you can then you can begin to solve the problem.
What I found in my project is that the amount of data traffic generated by ITS mobile can be reduced drastically, which speeds the response time of the mobile devices, especially with large number of devices in distribution centers.
Let me know if I can answer more questions related to this topic.
Cheers,
Shari

SAP SCM 5.0 Upgrade

Starting a forum thread for those of us who are upgrading to SCM 5.0    Please comment on the scope and/or challenges of your project.    Please post any advice.
Our upgrade project begins in January.   We will migrate from SCM 4.0 SP 18 to 5.0.    Integrated with R/3 4.6C and NetWeaver BI.

Mini SAP WAS 6.20 Upgrade

Hello All,
I'm new to this have been working with SAP for 15 years now, but only on the application side.
Now the Easter Bunny delivered a Mini SAP system WAS 6.20
Hurray! Got it up and running and I can develop, AWESOME!
Here are some questions.
1. What is the procedure to update / upgrade / apply service packs to the WAS 6.20
2. Is there a possibility to upgrade to 6.40 including Web Dynpros?
3. How do I set up a dev/test and production environment.
Does this have an impact on the license key, can I use the same license key for dev/test and production?
I know lot's of question. I hope somebody can point me in the right direction.
Appreciate the help.
Uwe

I don't think that it is possible to "upgrade" a sneak preview or minisap version. You can download the Netweaver 2004s sneak preview version which is WebAs 7.0 here on SDN in the downloads section. Web Dynpro ABAP is available on this version.

Rich Heilman
