SAP Security Upgrade 4.6C to ECC 6.0

Hello Gurus,
we are upgrading our systems to ECC 6.0 from 4.6C.
in SU25 step, do i need to manually go into every role and find the differences in Field values ?
there are more than 2500 roles and its becoming tedious task.
Is there any easy or other procedure available for the same ?
Regards,
Chaitanya

There are many tricks you can use to shave a role upgrade down to about 2 day's work, but day 1 is during the implementation design way back when to consider upgrades much later on...
Just knowing that you have 18k roles and 2500 turned red in step 2a is not enough infos to give you any efficient advice (I am not talking about your time... ;-).
What is however obvious is that between 2a and 2c there is 2... ah...?!?! That is your next closest catalyst, but dont hit the "accept SAP data" button unless you have not done any changes in SU24!
Some other key figures for upgrades are:
- Number of roles with distinctly different menus.
- Number of changed auths which are not copies.
- Number of manual auths needing manual adjustments.
- Obsolete and disabled objects.
- Security patches for unnoticed missing auth-checks.
- Cut-over, development freeze and parallel maintenance time period.
Cheers,
Julius

SAP HR Upgrade 4.6b to ECC 6.0

Dear All,
Presently i am in preparation phase of SAP HR Technical upgrade (4.6 B to ECC 6.0) from ABAP side.
I have stepwise process details but i don't have experience in Upgrade projects.
so Pls help me with
1. Check list to start with
2.Issues faced during upgrade
3.Precautions to be taken
4.Major objects to check
/ Lalit

Hi Lalit,
You need to start with the SPDD, SPAU and UCCHECK activity.
1. Then in the remediation part you need to check the syntax of all the programs. The issue were faced like some z-programs used some sub-routine in standard includes. So there maybe a change in the parameters, that you need to check.
2. The z-functions you need to check whether they are ok.
3. Some standard schema and functions have been change you need to check that.
4. Some transactions are removed and given alternative transactions.
5. Includes for some of the user exits have been changed you need to replace the code.
6. Payroll cluster version has been changed you need to run the conversion program.
Let me know if you need any more info.

SAP Upgrade 4.6C to ECC 6.0

Hi,
We are performing the SAP security upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0 for our client.
In the 4.6C landscape the DEV, QAS & PRD systems are not in sync. To add, the upgraded DEV system has already been built in the ECC 6.0 landscape. This has resulted in the DEV ECC 6.0 system not containing all the roles which are present in the 4.6C production system.
My question is how do I bring all the roles & authorizations from the production environment in 4.6C into the DEV ECC 6.0 system so that I am assured I have the correct outputs when I run the SU25 step in the DEV ECC 6.0 system?

Hi,
You have not followed the upgrade cycle. You should have done onne test upgrade by copying the Production database.(system copy). Then you would have copied all the application data as well as roles. Then you should have done the upgrade.
Anyway now you have one option. You have the Quality server. Now move all the roles to quality server and then do the upgrade. Else copy the production data and then do the upgrade. This is will reduce your efforts while doing production upgrade. If helpful please do award points.

Upgrade project : from SAP R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0 by using SAP Data Services

Hi All,
My client is upgrading from SAP R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0
We are planning to use SAP Data Services(Data Integrator) in the upgrade plan from SAP R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0 for Data Migration.
we have no idea whether we can use this SAP Data Services(Data Integrator) in SAP upgrade data migration.
The bottom line is we have to make use this Data Services (Data Integrator) product in our upgrade plan for Data Migration.
Please tell us if anybody already used it such kind of scenario in a data migration project with Data Services(Data Integrator).
If we can use Data Service(Data Integrator) what are the pros and cons in using this Data Services(Data Integrator).
Thank You,
Ashok

My opinion is you would want to utilize SAP tools to port the data - our SAP BASIS administrator is out this week but we can provide exact tool names when he returns. ELM (External List Management), IDOC are some of the tools.
You could use DS/DI to export, cleanse, deduplicate the records prior to importing with SAP tools if that is your end goal.
We also offer a data quality tool that extends DS/DI to cleanse/deduplicate name/address records as they are entered into the system. It also comes with batch tools to cleanse/dedup the entire systems name/address information. See Data Quality Management for SAP for further details.

Upgrade Sap R/3 4.6b to ECC 6.0 -unicode enabling

Hi,
I am going to work Upgrade Sap R/3 4.6b to ECC 6.0
My role only Unicode enabling syntax check.
Can any one explain what are the work involved in
Custom Reports, Custom Transaction and Screens, BDC, Enhancements and Exits(BTE), Script ,Custom DDIC
Particularly need information Sapscript forms
Regards,
Ram

Hi Ram,
For Unicode, transaction UCCHECK is your best friend. It will even tell you how to fix the error.
All programs Most of the time you will just go and set the Unicode Checks Active program attribute, save, activate.
- If there are Unicode errors, fix them.
http://iorboaz.blogspot.com/2008/03/sap-abap-solution-instructions-for.html
SAPScript - Not sure if it even needs Unicode-enabling. We are still in the middle of an upgrade. Will add more later.
Custom DDIC In our case, the BASIS team handled the Unicode conversion of the DDIC objects.I think they ran a consistency check first, then run SPUMG or something.
Search the web for a Combined Upgrade and Unicode Conversion Guide.
Hope this helps.

Best Practices for converting SAP HR data (4.7 to ECC)

Hello Experts ...
We are going from 4.6 to ECC ... no upgrade ..it will be a new implementation ...
I am looking for best practices to convert SAP HR data from one sap instance(4.6) to another(ECC) ...
I am not sure if direct input or LSMW or any other method/tool is the best way ...
Will really appreciate and award point if I can get good advise or documentation ...
Let me know if my question is not clear enough.
Thanks,

Hi
You can check SAP Marketplace and there follow the download link. You will require a SAP Marketplace login to download the Best Practices. Fortunately Best practices for ECC 5.00 and 6.00 are available there but they are country specific versions. I know HCM for US is available there.
Reward points, if helpful.

Recommandations for upgrading from 46C to ECC 6.0

Hello
Our SAP system landscape is actually in 46c and is only composed of 3 servers with almost 40 users declared (25 actives) on production system. Modules FI/CO HR MM are actually implemented.
We plan to upgrade the system to ECC 6.0 between March and August of 2009. The evaluation of the upgrade should begin as soon as possible. Do you think it can be possible to realise the upgrade alone, without the help and expertise of a SAP consultant? Do you think the delay for preparing the upgrade is suffisant?
Thank you.

As suggested earlier, refer to Master and technological guides for reference.
also for information, the upgrade can fall under any below scenarios.
1. Strategic Business Improvement
Focus on functionality extension and improvement
Enablement of new and optimized business processes and scenarios based on new ERP core functionality
2. Functional/Retrofit Upgrade
New functionality to be implemented as part of the upgrade, modification clearing
Focus on reduction of system complexity
3. Technical Upgrade
Focus on pure technology upgrade
Retain functionality used
Review Usage of custom developments
As per the requirement. knowledge and experience the decision can be made.
