SAP Upgrade - Features

Hi,
We are working in a sap upgrade project ECC 5.0 to ECC6.0. We have found a issue in the features ( PE03) after the upgrade of the dev system. The modifications done to the features has now been overwritten by sap.
eg: The dates maintained in the Feature GBCHG - decision tree nodes are not the same before and after upgrade.
1. Are changes to features captured in SPAU/SPDD or what is the way to find out which/what features need to be adjusted again ?
2. Are there any other sap hr objects configurations which needs to be taken care similar to features?
Thanks
Jagruthi

@ Jagruthi:
Hmmm, have you checked the overall structure of the Feature in QA using PE03. A lot of implementations change the way a structure is used to assist their configuration.
When you are in PE03 click on Attributes to look at the author of the changes for the Feature. This is seen on the Administrative Data box (bottom of the page). Notice if Last Changed is a User Name of a company user instead of SAP.
Also when you're in this view, review the actual structure to determine if the same Structure and fields match what you have in DEV.
I really doubt SAP has changed the Feature from ECC 5 to ECC 6. It is much more likely someone has reconfigured the Feautre a long time back.
Cheers, Al

SAP Upgrade documents

Hi,
Required SAP Upgrade documents for functinal upgrade
Please me to kareemsap at Gml
Thanks in advance
kareem

I believe you are on Functional side. If that is the case, you only need to know whats new in ECC 6.0 compared to ECC 5.0.
A quick look at http://erp.fmpmedia.com/Default.aspx?alias=erp.fmpmedia.com/english will give you a fair idea. However, you need to read in SAP Help too before jumping on to upgrade.
An upgrade means, you need to make sure old features remain and new are added.

SCC4 - Protection against SAP upgrade

Hello guys,
i have a question regarding to the "Protection against SAP upgrade" flag in SCC4 for the client settings.
I know that this flag will make a client unusable in case of an upgrade (for example from ERP2004 to ERP2005), but what is about applying support packages?
Is this flag also valid for support packages?
The documentation about this parameter does not make a statement to this point:
> If this flag is set, the client is no longer supplied with data during SAP upgrades. After an SAP upgrade, it is not possible to work actively in the client. The flag can only be set for a test client or an SAP reference client (Early Watch).
Does SAP understand "applying support packages" as an upgrade?
Answers will be rewarded.
Regards
Stefan

No.
Applying SP is not SAP upgrade.

The idea is running SAP upgrade and in parallel running oracle 11g software installation. So that we can reduced the time.
Please share your valuable inputs.
Regards,
Anil Shenoy.

yes, of course.
using different environment during the installation of the new engine, you could install the new oracle home 11 also tomorrow (including the SBP).
infact, before the ./RUNINSTALLER you have to set the environment
setenv ORACLE_HOME /oracle/SID/112_64
setenv ORACLE_HOME_SRC /oracle/SID/102_64
setenv ORACLE_HOME_TGT /oracle/SID/11202
setenv LIBPATH $ORACLE_HOME/lib:$LIBPATH

Hello,
If the project is of technical up gradation then with no functionality changed, Then the job of abap consultant is critical, right from creating spdd and spau, interfaces, debug the new programs and fix the bugs if exists in the new programs. The functional consultant has to test the new system from functions point of view; functional consultant is responsible for taking user acceptance test before going on live to the new system.

SAP upgrade - questions for report painter and query

Hi Experts,
I have two quwstions of SAP upgrade.
My requirement is: SAP upgrade from 4.6B to ECC 6.0 with non-unicode.
1.Does SAP upgrade influence the report painter? If influence, could you tell me what should I do for this case.
2. We have so many queries (SQ01) in our system and many of them haven't been run for a long time. we need a tool to get the runtimes of queries in a certain durition.
For example: From 2008/01/01 to 2008/03/31,I want to know how many queries had been run/ query name/ runtimes of each query.
Best regards,

> 1.Does SAP upgrade influence the report painter? If influence, could you tell me what should I do for this case.
You can check
Note 1155524 - ReportWriter: Upgrade Issues ECC6.0 -Common Customer Issues
> 2. We have so many queries (SQ01) in our system and many of them haven't been run for a long time. we need a tool to get the runtimes of queries in a certain durition.
Such a tool was RBE (Reverse Business Engineer) - which is out of support.
You can try to get that information from ST03. If that is not enough there's no other way than booking an SLO service to find out the queries that have not been used (http://service.sap.com/slo).

Put Together A Data Archiving Strategy And Execute It Before Embarking On Sap Upgrade

A significant amount is invested by organizations in a SAP upgrade project. However few really know that data archiving before embarking on SAP upgrade yields significant benefits not only from a cost standpoint but also due to reduction in complexity during an upgrade. This article not only describes why this is a best practice but also details what benefits accrue to organizations as a result of data archiving before SAP upgrade. Avaali is a specialist in the area of Enterprise Information Management. Our consultants come with significant global experience implementing projects for the worlds largest corporations.
Archiving before Upgrade
It is recommended to undertake archiving before upgrading your SAP system in order to reduce the volume of transaction data that is migrated to the new system. This results in shorter upgrade projects and therefore less upgrade effort and costs. More importantly production downtime and the risks associated with the upgrade will be significantly reduced. Storage cost is another important consideration: database size typically increases by 5% to 10% with each new SAP software release – and by as much as 30% if a Unicode conversion is required. Archiving reduces the overall database size, so typically no additional storage costs are incurred when upgrading.
It is also important to ensure that data in the SAP system is cleaned before your embark on an upgrade. Most organizations tend to accumulate messy and unwanted data such as old material codes, technical data and subsequent posting data. Cleaning your data beforehand smoothens the upgrade process, ensure you only have what you need in the new version and helps reduce project duration. Consider archiving or even purging if needed to achieve this. Make full use of the upgrade and enjoy a new, more powerful and leaner system with enhanced functionality that can take your business to the next level.
Archiving also yields Long-term Cost Savings
By implementing SAP Data Archiving before your upgrade project you will also put in place a long term Archiving Strategy and Policy that will help you generate on-going cost savings for your organization. In addition to moving data from the production SAP database to less costly storage devices, archived data is also compressed by a factor of five relative to the space it would take up in the production database. Compression dramatically reduces space consumption on the archive storage media and based on average customer experience, can reduce hardware requirements by as much as 80% or 90%. In addition, backup time, administration time and associated costs are cut in half. Storing data on less costly long-term storage media reduces total cost of ownership while providing users with full, transparent access to archived information.

Role of Time Mgmt functional consultant during SAP Upgrade from 4.7 to ECC6

Hi,
Could anyone explain the role of a time management functional consultant during SAP upgrade from R/3 4.7 to ECC6.0. Please provide me if you got any documentation.
Thanks,
Sunny

"After you upgrade to SAP ERP 6.0, you can enhance the functionality of your application without performing a further
upgrade thanks to a new deployment technology u2013 the SAP enhancement package for SAP ERP. The enhancement
packages simplify the way you manage and deploy new software functions for SAP ERP." - that is the real benefit of ECC 6.0
There aren't any major changes to PTM functionalities from 4.7 to 6.0. I hope your system is already using IT 2006 instead of IT 0005. Under functional role, you are required to configure/test any functional upgrade and manage data.

SAP Upgrade issue ABAP-PI Proxy error

Hi Guys,
We have an issue in SAP R3 system after the recent SAP upgrade.
The proxy programs in R3 were using SAP Standard structure in their development.
Standard structure : SAPPLCO_LOG_ITEM_CODE (TYPE SAPPLCO_LOG)
And so after the upgrade, There seems to be a new field added in the above standard structure and hence causing mismatch between the proxy program developed internal structure to the SAP standard structure.
We come to understand that this Standard structure is being used from SAP PI, Software component SAP APPL.
So SAP PI has old SAP standard structure and SAP R3 has new standard structure with additional field.
Can you please suggest how to overcome this issue. We have also raised an OSS ticket to SAP.
Kind Regards
Rajesh.S

Hi Harald,
Thank You for the information. I was able to download SAP_APPL 6.06 content from SAP service market place. Here We have a doubt before importing the new SAP APPL content. In market place downloads under SAP_APPL 6.06 we were able to see few many database downloads with last changed at 3.04.2014.
Our EHP upgrade for SAP_APPL is 6.06 , SP level 0007. So we should download / import the highlighted content version (SAPAPPL60607) in the screenshot from market place or download / import the latest change under SAP_APPL 6.06 download patch ? Kindly let us know.
Best Regards,
Rajesh.S

SAP Upgrade 4.6C to ECC 6.0 EHP5 system customer is using Data Archiving

Dear All,
I am planning to do SAP Upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0 EHP5, in the source system customer is using SAP DATA ARCHIVING. As per some of the SAP Notes before downtime phase we need to disable all the dataarchiving jobs .
1) My question is do we need to do any presteps before starting the upgrade related to SAP DATA ARCHIVING ?
2) After the upgrade if customer wants to use the old archiving objects etc... whether they will able to do it. For this do we need to raise any message with SAP regrading the dataarchiving before the upgrade
Please let me know if you have any ideas on the above questions.
Thanks & Regards
Ravikiran

Hi,
I would suggest you to do the data archiving after upgrade project or finish data archiving before upgrade project. As lots of new archiving objects has been delivered in ECC.
Also, its true that before starting downtime project you need to stop all your jobs. Also, SAP has recently introduced new retention management technique for data archiving starting from EHP4 onwards to manage data archiving more efficiently. If you are interested, you can explore this further on http://sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/ilm or http://service.sap.com/ilm.
Thanks
