ECC 6.0 Service Pack 4 Upgrade Impact on CRM 5.0

Hello,
With regards to an upgrade of ECC 6.0 SP4 (Enhancement Pack 1 to Enhancement Pack 4), I wish to know which areas of the CRM module would be impacted (also considering that the version is CRM 5.0).
Any known experienced issues of ENH 4 impact on CRM 5.0 ?
Thank you very much,
Eyal

Eyal,
Unless you make major changes in SD(in ERP) during the ECC EHP4 upgrade, then I don't see major problems. You probably want to make sure that regression testing is perfomed, but that is probably part of your plan anyway.
I would guess that beyond regression testing you won't have much to do, during the ECC EHP4 upgrade. Keep in mind though if your CRM system calls any non-standard function modules in ERP you always have a risk of those breaking.
Take care,
Stephen

Apply service pack to upgrade from SP12 to SP14 - am I done?

I run a local instance of SAP portal for development and testing. I manage my jCo's, maintain a local UME for myself and my fellow WDP Java developers, and regularly manually transport and apply changes from our production system to keep my content and presentation synched.
Our development, testing and production environments have been updated from SP12 to SP14, and my goal is to keep my local instance aligned by updating it to SP14 too.
I have downloaded the necessary SP12 to SP14 support package files from the support portal, and generated the XML for the SPSTab.xml file. I have successfully deployed these files using JSPM/SDM.
I have downloaded the NWDS SP14 stack, extracted the files using SAPCAR, and executed the upgrade by launching the IDE70setup.exe application.
My update does not seem complete. Did I miss a step?

Hello Jennifer,
You can find the component SP level by using the following URL:
http://<host>:<port>/sap/monitoring/ComponentInfo
Note: Login to the portal first and then paste the above appropriate URL.
Thanks,
Mani.

FAS ESP 5.3 Service Pack 5 Upgrade Issue

Hi,
My FAST ESP 5.3 is still SP3. I have patched Dev and Stage environment with service pack 5 with no issues.
I started with FAST ESP 5.3 Service Pack 5 upgrade for my Production Server today. I am getting below error while installation started in production. Any idea on this issue ? Any pointers to resolve this will help.

Hi Ankur,
Are you still seeing this issue? If so, the error “Could not find installed bytes on host”
can
occur when installing/patchingto
a slow SAN or when a firewall blocks needed ports on the nodes. Do you know there is a volume used by ESP, which resides on a slow SAN?
Also, can you verify that there is no firewall or port blocking software
blocking ports 13000-17000 and 27000-27009 (the latter is used for the License Server by default, documented in the ESP configuration guide page 191)? We have seen
this error resolved in other environments by fixing an incorrectly configured firewall. If there are firewalls or other port blocking software between the nodes, would it be an option to disable them and retry?
Other recommendations we make in the ESP Best Practices Guide:
      -    Verify that the system temp location has 2GB available. This will ensure that the installer has enough space to expand the install packages.
Verify that the hosts file contains IP, FQDN and HOSTNAME.
Include the fully qualified host name before the short entry in the hosts file. For example:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
80.91.35.43 myserver.example.com server
    -     Verify forward and reverse nslookup resolution.
Forward: nslookup <FQDN> should return <IP>
Reverse: nslookup <IP> should return <FQDN>
The ESP installation user also needs Administrator privileges. You will need local or domain admin privileges to perform the install.
When checking the fastinstall.log, do you happen to see an ErrorCode 11 when trying to copy the license file?
I ask as I have seen that error occur, in conjunction with the “Could not find installed bytes on host” error.
If so, one can work around this issue by performing a manually copy this license file into your %fastsearch%\etc directory, or if this directory does not
exist, manually create it and then copy the file.
Another possible cause is the JAVA_HOME being set incorrectly. This could affect the successful copying of the license file. The JDK installation is a product requirement separate from the is:javahome parameter setting. The Installation guide
states that the Java Development Kit (JDK) must be pre-installed.
Can you let us know the exact version of java JDK that you are running?
Let us know your findings and if you have any questions.
Thanks!

MS SQL Server 2000 Service Pack 4 upgrade

Hi,
I need to upgrade my actual SAP DataBase SQL Server 2000 from Service Pack 2 to Service Pack 4 in order to be more secure as a MS consultant is requesting, but following the comments on the SAP note 1026116 attached file, which references this MS article:
http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/B/D/1BDF5B78-584E-4DE0-B36F-C44E06B0D2A3/ReadmeSql2k32sp4.htm
Referenced Text:
"If your instance of SQL Server 2000 is being used by an application, first check with the provider of the application whether there are any SQL Server 2000 upgrade considerations specific to that application. "
So following this instructions is there any SQL Server 2000 upgrade to Service Pack 4 considerations for a SAP Database of an ERP R3 ECC 6.0.
Could anyone can help me please with this question?
Best Regards,
Erik Espinosa

Hi,
Service Pack 4 is supported and recommended for SAP ERP ECC 6.0. There are currently no known issues with upgrading to this service pack. The mentioned collation change don't have to be performed as long as you are not planning to upgrade to SQL Server 2005.
Best regards

Support Pack Level Upgrade in BI 7.0

Hi all,
Can anyone let me know what are the possible issues that would occur after upgrading support pack level in BI 7.0.
As far as I know a BI consultant would participate in the upgrade activities like BI objects check, SPAU, query check, etc. Can anyone let me know if there are are any other activities to be performed.
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Sunny.

Hi
There is any customer specific development done by SAP in the previous system. If so, the time to act is just after the pre upgrade study only. The customer would only want to retain the customer specific module developed by SAP. We need to get SAPu2019s intervention in the project before we start the upgrade. SAP would develop certain patches to be run on the previous system to capture all the customer specific development and then they would run some patches on ECC system u2013 this would release the customer specific development in the new system (ECC./BI). This is a very crucial and important check of the step. If not taken care of at the proper time, it might hamper the Customer Specific development on the new system.
It is to be assured that the new system is at the latest stack level for ABAP, XI, BI etc before we start the SPDD and SPAU phase
Only one request is to be made for SPDD. For SPAU too, only one request should be made.
Previous system sandbox should be available for reference during the entire upgrade project and should not be scrapped before the Go Live.

What Should I do for this and how to do.Please tell me the procedure.I would be grateful for your help

PI7.0 contains both ABAP & JAVA stack.
You must upgrade patch level 9 to 12 for both stack.
Only JSPM upgrade is not enough. go through service.sap.com/sp-stacks and see patch level for each components for ABAP & JAVA stack.
1st upgrade ABAP patches then go for Java patches.

Downtime required for ECC 6.0 service pack application

Does anyone have any data on the amount of time required to apply service packs to ECC 6.0 when DB2 z/OS is the backend database?
We have done several tests in a sandbox system and the best case we have gotten so far using production LPAR weights is 6.5 hours to go from SP10 to SP11. Our z9 has 158 MSUs.
SAP has also done some benchmarking on a z900 lab machine with >400 MSUs and gotten similar runtimes.
Applying the same service pack to a sandbox on Windows x64 with SQLServer 2005 takes 2.5 hours.
We would like to understand the 2 to 3 times difference in runtimes and improve the DB2 z/OS case.
Brian

Omer,
Thanks for the suggestions. They are not at all out line as I would rather hear something I already know than not hear something I don't even know to check.
To answer:
1) Everything in our landscape uses ficon (DASD and tape)
2) We initially implemented with the SAP directories (sapmnt, usrsap, and trans) on NFS for z/OS. Since we installed ASCS/SCS on USS for z/OS for HA, the filesystems were in HFS and then shared out via NFS to the application servers. Performance was horrible once there got to be more than about 1000 files in a directory, which happens quite often with spool requests and job logs in production ECC. We opened a PMR with IBM z/OS NFS support, and at their suggestion changed from HFS to ZFS, made sure the LPAR which owned the ZFS filesystems was also the LPAR running NFS, etc. We never found a performance silver bullet and testing we did with a zLinux NFS server on the exact same CEC and DASD proved to be 3-4 times faster than NFS on z/OS, so we moved all the SAP files to NFS on zLinux.
3) I don't have exact figures, but the majority of time seems to be spent in the IMPORT_PROPER phase. During our next test cycle I will note the times of the various phases from the import log.

Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2 upgradation

Hi,
I need your support to upgrade and migrate to Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2 in my development server.
I am currently upgrading my Crystal enterprise version 9 with the Crystal Reports XI Release 2 and Service Pack 2. I have the below questions to be clarified. Appreciate if you can reply me ASAP. Thanks.
My Environment:
O/S - Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition; Version 5.2 (Build 3790); Service Pack - 1
RAM size - 1 GB
Installed software - Crystal enterprise 9
1) After successfully upgraded with the XI version, all my current user accounts and existing reports are not available in the upgraded version. Pl. suggest me, how to migrate my existing connections and all the existing reports?
2) In my server, SQL Server is not installed. But SQL Server instance (SQL Server 7.00.623) is running in my taskbar (desktop). If I stopped the SQL Server instance, the "Crystal APS" in the Crystal Configuration Manager is stopped. What information is stored in the SQL Server?
3) What is the default SQL server version bundled with Crystal Reports XI Release 2 Service Pack 2? What is the SQL server version you recommand?
4) Will the Crystal Reports XI Release 2 SP2 supports the SQL Server 7.00.623?
Regards
Sanrajesh

Hello, Sanrajesh,
You have been using Crystal Enterprise 9.0 and now you are installing Crystal Reports XI R2. Is that correct?
Crystal Reports XI R2 is just the Crystal Reports designer and runtime for development.
Crystal Reports XI R2 does not have the functionality of Crystal Enterprise. The upgrade would be Crystal Enterprise 9.0 to Business Objects Enterprise XI R2. (11.5)
A full BusinessObjects Enterprise installation will install the appropriate MS SQL Server for it's own use.
Will this be the Enterprise server or just the Development system to create an application connecting to your BusinessObjects Enterprise server?
What development language will you be programming in?
If you have BusinessObjects Enterprise installed elsewhere you only need the appropriate development components on your system and connect to the server in code.
Our BusinessEnterprise Support team would assist you in the upgrade from Crystal Enterprise 9 to Business Objects Enterprise XI R2 if that was your plan.
Then we could discuss the development requirements.

Thanks!

Hi Mark,
I recently contacted SAP support about service packs for Edge 3.1. THe SP for Enterprise 3.1 has been out for months now, and it's really atrocious that Edge hasn't received the same.
Anyway, the courteous support rep initially told me that the Ege 3.1 SP had been release, but then retracted that and said it was expected in the next few months - likely before end of year.
How's that for helpful!!

Issue with SAP GUI 7.30 launching with users upgrading from 7.10

We started rolling out SAP 7.30 GUI Final 7300.3.7.117 out to people, and we've ran into this error with people who had upgraded from SAP GUI 7.10.
Our environmental variable uses saplogon.ini (SAPLOGON_INI_FILE) and points to c:\windows\saplogon.ini
I don't know why the program is trying to search for saplogontree.xml.
I've tried uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling. Deleting some of the %appdata% SAP folders.
I need some guidance as people who upgraded from GUI 7.20 do not run into this issue.

This popup would make sense Jason,as the path C:\Windows\SapLogonTree.xml would not be a valid path to this file.
Really, 7.10 should not have been used at all as an upgrade path as this had finished support in 2009
If you have a small number of users with 7.10, it's recommend to remove it via add/remove programs in the OS, then install a clean 7.30 gui.
The environment variable should not point to C:\Windows\ at all since this is a restricted folder in
Windows Vista and higher, and will only cause further trouble later on in the updates
See note http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1409494
