SAP Upgradation from 4.5B to ECC 6.0

Hi all,
We need to upgrade from 4.5B to ECC 6.0. Gathered all the information abt. the 4.5 B system...Its on AIX using ORACLE.
I want to know few more info. with your help. i have access to the system through GUI, but didnt have OS level access..
1.) How to know whether the system is CLUSTER configured, any transaction?
2.) I didnt find any Upgradation Guide particular to AIX, can u pls. guide me the path for that in SMP?
3.) How to check whether its using any third party tools(Like Fire Fighter...etc) and any usage types configured(Like PI, BI...)
please guide me in knowing the above through GUI?
Thanks,
Subbu

Hi,
Roadmap is the recomended way to manage the Upgrade project, but this will not make anything automatic. If you don´t have the knowledge and time to configure the project in Solman then just follow the Upgrade Guide. In this Roadmap is included Technical and Funtional processes and it is an excellent starting point for the project but as already said, if don´t have the knowledge or any other person from the team either, then don´t worry much about it althoug it is imperative that a good Project is designed before starting the process either using MS Project or any other software, after the first tests you will have to adjust times for next upgrades.
Buy the way in the upgrade guide there are some sections specially dedicated to AIX but most parts of the process are the same for any OS/DB combo. Basically check prerequisites, do prepare, fix what ever is necesary and then run upgrade process.
Read the Upgrade Guide 2 or 3 times to get a clear Idea on what should be done before, during and after the upgrade process, read all related notes and have them printed in case of any problem.
AND you should have access to OS level, if you don´t then when doing Prepare or Upgrade then you won´t be able to look at the logs and that is Vital during the process. Also need to have access to SAP directories to check and change files like copying upgrade DVD's, upgrading R3trans, TP, etc so explain that to them or make one of them to be next to you.
Good Luck

SAP Upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 connected to BW 7.0 Best Practices

We are upgrading SAP R/3 4.7 to ECC 6.0. We have been running live in a BW 7.0 environment. We have done some enhancements for 2LIS_11_VAITM - Sales Document Item Data and 2LIS_13_VDITM - Billing Document Item Data datasources. We currently have a test instance that has been upgraded to ECC6.0.
What are the best business practices for testing BW to insure data transfer and enhancements are working correctly?
Eg. Should we connect the ECC6 instance to BWD and test there OR upgrade R/3 TST that is connected BWD and test there OR Upgrade QAS and test in BWQ.
Thanks in advance . . .
Edited by: RWC on May 4, 2011 6:26 PM

Hi RWC,
the plug-in will change slightly, you may notice differences in the screens of RSA2 and others after the upgrade.
Regarding best practices: In a recent upgrade our project team decided to create a parallel landscape with a new, additional Dev and QA on the R/3 side.
We connected these new systems to a BW Sandbox and the BW QA.
We identified all datasources, transfer rules and infopackages in use in production and recorded them with related objects onto transports in BW Dev. Before the import into BW Sandbox and BW QA we adjusted the system name conversion table to convert from old R/3 Dev to new R/3 Dev in order set up all the required connections for testing with the upgraded R/3 systems.
After the go LIVE of the upgrade we renamed the old R/3 Dev system in BW Dev and ran BDLS to convert everything (speak to your Basis team). That way we made sure not to lose any Development and we got rid of the old R/3 Dev system.
Take a look at this post for issues we encountered during this project and test everything you load in production.

HTML Page not appearing after SAP Upgrade from 4.6c to ECC 6.0

Dear All,
I am novice in ITS and IAC configuration stuff....
Issue: We have a HTML page which shows a tree structure of Functional location and Equipments. A Z transaction is built to cater the requirement. User logs on to the HTML page navigates thru the Tree structure of Functional locations and equipments and the logs the workrequest or Break down details. In 4.6C every thing is working fine. But after Upgrade in Testing Server (We are not go live yet) we are facing a problem where the HTML page with tree structure is skipped off and directly the Z transaction is appearing on the web page.
Did any one faced such issue? Any thoughts is highly appreciable?
Thanks,
Sanjay.

Thanks Frank and Dhurairaj....and sorry for the delay in responding..
I have checked my service in SICF and it is active. I also tried to create a new Service and now I am now getting "500 Connection timed out" error.
Our Z transaction is ZW03 and Service name is ZW03_2.
We are on Netweaver 7 (2004s)
Steps I followed:
1. Created a Service ZW03_2 in SICF (New Sub element) and then Activated.
default host -> SAP -> bc -> gui -> sap -> its
2. Created a folder ZW03_2 under SAP->Public->ITS (Transaction SE80, MIME Repository) and imported all MIME objects into that folder.
3. Created a Internet Service ZW03_2 in SE80. Once I created a Service already there is blank folder Topic 99. Then I created two folders Mime Objects and HTML Templates. Imported all Mime objects into folder "Mime Objects" and Created templates in "HTML Templates" folder. Then I published ..
After doing all the above setting then I tried to test the service and I am getting 500 Connection time out.
Please let me know if I missed any step or if I have done any setting incorrectly.
Thanks,
Sanjay.

Interview questions on upgrades from 4.7 to ECC

Hi,
Can any one please post some potential areas/questions that will be asked for upgrade projects from 4.7 to ECC6.0
Points will be awarded.
Thanks

Hi Frank,
this is good question, why because sap upgrades from 4.6b to ecc 6.0 is very risky.
take one example , in 4.5b , me21n application having 620 screen where as in ecc 6.0 having 9000 screen . that time we will take care of it.
check the obsolete function modules , 4.5b , having ws_upload, ws_download.... use cl_gui_frontend_services , under these having differnt type of methods.
once you change the code in ecc , go to tranx : SLIN check the error where it is exact.

Top-Down Distribution - tcode KE28 (release upgrade from 4.6 to ECC 6.0)

All,
we are performing a release upgrade from 4.6 to ECC 6.0 and we have a problem with the tcode KE28.
The variant already set up in the system don't match with the selection fields present in the screen, and the following message is shown:
Message no. KG346
The variant does not adhere to the current Customizing setup
We have saved the variant again, and no problem are present, but the error message refers also to Customizing setup.
Is there a section in the Customizing where it is possible set up the field to show in the initial screen or the new fields (All Valuation Views, Legal Valuation View and Profit Center Valuation View) are due to the release upgrade?
If yes, do you know the transaction/path?
Thanks in advance for your collaboration.
Regards,
Jody Mancini.

Asset query execution performance after upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0+EHP4

Hi,guys
I am encounted a weird problems about asset query execution performance after upgrade to ECC 6.0.
Our client had migrated sap system from 4.6c to ECC 6.0. We test all transaction code and related stand report and query.
Everything is working normally except this asset depreciation query report. It is created based on ANLP, ANLZ, ANLA, ANLB, ANLC table; there is also some ABAP code for additional field.
This report execution costed about 6 minutes in 4.6C system; however it will take 25 minutes in ECC 6.0 with same selection parameter.
At first, I am trying to find some difference in table index ,structure between 4.6c and ECC 6.0,but there is no difference about it.
i am wondering why the other query reports is running normally but only this report running with too long time execution dump messages even though we do not make any changes for it.
your reply is very appreciated
Regards
Brian

Thanks for your replies.
I check these notes, unfortunately it is different our situation.
Our situation is all standard asset report and query (sq01) is running normally except this query report.
I executed se30 for this query (SQ01) at both 4.6C and ECC 6.0.
I find there is some difference in select sequence logic even though same query without any changes.
I list there for your reference.

But it changed to first select ANLA,and open cursor ANLP,then select ANLC,ANLB,ANLZ,at last fetch ANLP.
Probably,it is the real reason why it is running long time in ECC 6.0.
Is there any changes for query selcection logic(table join function) in ECC 6.0.

then it displays the Release Version and the Delta Functionality. Which can be downloaded to a word document if required.
And also check the release notes of ECC 6.0 in service.sap.com.
When you are upgrading from 4.6C to ECC6
Nothing major, follow the same process you'd follow if you were updating PI service packs in R/3 or enhancing data sources. Empty queues in RSA7 and lbwq. Also empty setup tables through lbwg as the upgrade doesn't like it if these tables contain data. This is all on the R/3 side (although you empty RSA7 by running each delta TWICE in BW).
To transfer queues from lbwq to rsa7, execute jobs through LO cockpit (lbwe).
Some of your data sources could also be using sm13 instead of lbwq, so do check it out as well.
For installing ECC 6.0 you required a solution manager key. With out solution manager key you cannot install ECC6.0.
For ECC 6.0 is called net weaver component here you have ABAP+JAVA stack.
ECC6.0 supports UNCODE.
For installing 4.6 you don't require solution manager key. It only having ABAP stack.
4.6C supports NONUNICODE.
Major difference is ECC6 is netwear product having WASJAVA+ABAP
secondly support unicode apart from this we have other diff. you can get form master guide from service.sap.com/instguides.
Please go through the link that is shown here and if there is any doubts then feel free to ask.

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.

Open item ( balance) can be find in upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6

Dear experts
We are planning to upgrade our SAP system from 4.7 to ECC 6
One of my consultant told me that only open balance willbe moved ( customer /vendor open items)
How can it be done for the user if he want to see the details of cleared invoices/payment for the vendor/customer ????
Is this the drawback in SAP system
Rregars
Shamul heq

I think the consultant is confused with Archiving, this is an upgrade and nothing will be lost!! all info for vendors, customers, old invoices, cleared invoices, etc will be there once the system is upgraded.

Schema error after upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 5.0

Hi all,
We have recently upgraded from 4.6C to ECC 5.0. We are having problem in payroll run. When I did a syntax check in schema, I got "UDPM" rule doesn't exist. I checked, this rule is present in 4.6C. This is the standard rule. If I am right, it should have come with upgrade right?
or SAP has changed this? From where Can I get the info about this?
Also similar error I got in Function 'USTAX' parameter 3 is not allowed. If I remove that parameter, I don't know what is the implication of that.
I checked for SAP notes. I did not find anything.
Please let me know if any of you have come with such situation.
Thanks in advance.
Sarika.

Hi Sarika,
We are also in a similar transition i.e. 4.6C to mysap Ecc5.0 . But we are on Canadian Payroll.
I had search OSS and got a PDF document regarding " Upgrading to SAP R/3 Enterprize - A User Guide to Canadian mysap HR Customers" . U may be can find a similar one for US payroll. I can give u mine, but it wont be of any use as it is for Canadian Payroll.
In Canadian mysap Upgrade , the function P0224 has been replaced by function KXDTM . Although P0024 is still in used in Schema K00T for conversion purposes.

Hi
there are several oss-notes available which explain how to transfer your text customizing to the new procedure. This happens if you are uppgrading from a release 4.6c or lower. If you are already in 4.7, there should be no problem with text determination.
