SAP VERSION UPGRADE

dear friends,
can any one explain me how to do SAP VERSION upgrade in real time work environment?
points will be awarded.
Cheers
Troy.

Hello Troy,
I assume you meant the general SAP upgrades, depending on which sap upgrade, but most of the sap upgrade in real time work environment which should allow you to choose between two upgrade strategies. The downtime-minimized strategy enables you to run the production system and shadow system in parallel. This requires extra system resources, but reduces downtime.
The resource-minimized strategy enables you to run either the production system or the shadow system. This strategy requires no extra system resources. However, the downtime is longer, since you can only run the shadow instance during downtime.
I hope this is what you asked for, if you found them useful do award some points.
Thanks,
George

  • SAP AFS Upgrade from version 5.0 to 6.4

    Hi Experts,
    I wanted to know if someone here was familiar with the SAP AFS upgrade from 5.0 to 6.4. I wanted to know how exactly they improved the  areas listed below. (obtained from SAP Course). Your help would be greatly appreciated
    http://www.sap.com/services/education/catalog/globaltabbedcourse.epx?context=%5b%5b|wdedaf||1||de|%5d%5d|
    1) Improvements in the areas of planned independent requirements, seasonal concept, value add services, Combined order, productionu2013 warehouse interface
    2) Production Planning Basic Data - Enhancements of AFS Bill of Material (AFS BOM), SKU Group Based Routing

    5) Handling Unit Management for AFS
    Thanks,

    Hi Ronny,
    Thanks for the reply!
    These patches you speak of, is it for the types of issues I mentioned in my first post or do they cover the entire AFS functionality? I assume it still requires complex configurations but are there a lot of complications with going from AFS 5.0 to 6.4, compared to a new AFS 6.4 implementation? Specifically with the grids, categories and BOMs?
    /Cheers

    http://solutionbrowser.erp.sap.fmpmedia.com/
    Major difference is ECC6 is netwear product having WASJAVA+ABAP
    secondly support unicode apart from this we have other diff. you can get fom master guide from service.sap.com/instguides
    For installing ECC 6.0 you required a solution manager key.With out solutionmanager key you cannot install ECC6.0.
    For ECC 6.0 is called netweaver component here you have ABAP+JAVA stack.
    ECC6.0 supports UNCODE.
    For installing 4.6 you don't required solution manager key.It only having ABAP stack.
    4.6C supports NONUNICODE.
    Hope this would add some more info.

  • Can't find the created queries in SQVI after SAP GUI Upgrade

    Hi all,
    I have a problem when I update my SAP GUI (7.10 -> 7.20)
    After the upgrade, I can't find anymore the queries in SQVI. The liste is totally emptied...
    Could you help me to find them? Or plz, just tell me I deleted them T_T
    Thanks in advence.

    Hello Alexander,
    Thank you for your reply, but the situation didn't change... it's really strange...
    We used the same PC to logon with 720, I'm sure that the parameters of SAP GUI are good, everything works correctly except SQVI. No problem with LSMW or SCAT... The most important point, this problem appears on all PC with 720 upgrade! So, it's not a local problem...but we didn't touch anything on server...maybe it was just a coincidence, somebody did something on the server in the same time of SAP GUI Upgrade...
    For now, we copied the lost queries from QUALITY (it's not the last version T_T but it's better than nothing!) And we still don't know where is the source of problem.
    Anyway, thank you for your help.
    Best regards,

  • BOBJ & SAP - Version 2 vs Version 3

    I'm looking to link business objects to our SAP ECC system but we are on version two of business objects. Is there much improvement / functionality to be gained when linking to SAP by upgrading to version 3 of business objects.

    Hi
    I would suggest to use the most actual version which is XI 3.1 with SP2. The integration with SAP has been improved in the new version although for your case (Connection to SAP ERP) the improvements may not be that significant as to those regarding the connection to SAP BW.
    Please keep in mind that official support for the XI R2 version will expire earlier that the one for the XI 3.1 version.

  • SAP version difference from 4.0 to recent

    Hello Friends,
    I just want to know the difference between SAP versions 4.0, 4.7 & 5.0, please compare all with 4.0 version and post the reply.
    Regards,
    ninad kshirsagar

    hi
    Following are the basic differences as far as MM Module is concerned;
    Pickup list - Batch where-used list display in transaction MB56
    u2022 Until release 4.7, the top-down and bottom-up analyses in the function pickup list for batch where-used list (transaction MB5C) were displayed only in the form of simple output lists. As of release 6.00 of SAP ERP Central Component, the function pickup list for batch where-used list branches to the batch where-used list itself (transaction MB56).
    u2022 In addition, user can define how the data in the batch where-used list is displayed, in the initial screen.
    u2022 User can use all the settings available in the batch where-used list. For example, he can expand transfer posting or display vendor batch. However, it is not possible to limit the selection to valid plants in the initial screen of the pickup list.
    Usability enhancements for transaction MIGO for the posting of goods movements
    u2022 For goods movements that refer to purchase orders as reference documents (for example, goods receipt, goods issue, subsequent adjustment), user can specify the ordering plant as an additional selection criterion directly next to the purchase order number and the item number.
    u2022 There is a new default value: "copy account assignment fields." When entering other goods receipts, user can copy existing account assignment data from the previous item to use as the default values for a new item. To do this, user has to set the copy account assignment fields indicator in the default values.
    u2022 User changes the default values in the menu path "Settings -> Default Values."
    u2022 Goods movement is monitored with reference to a material document. When you enter the following goods movements, it is possible to specify a material document, such as the following, as the reference document:
    Goods receipt
    Goods issue
    Transfer posting
    Remove from storage
    u2022 Note that these material documents must be documents that have arisen from a goods movement without reference ("Others") and that are not reversal documents.
    New report : display list of invoice documents (MIR5)
    u2022 Logistics invoice verification offers a new report display list of invoice documents (RMMR1MDI), w hich user can use to display such a list (Transaction is MIR5).
    u2022 As an addition to the existing program invoice overview (transaction code MIR6), user have extended selection criteria and display options. For example, on the initial screen user can make selections by one-time customers, invoice gross amount, and entry date.
    u2022 User can also show an expert mode, which enables him to select at plant level by FI document, GL A/c posting, and Material Posting.
    u2022 In the output list, the report shows both posted and held invoices.
    u2022 It does not show invoices without a corresponding FI document; such as invoices planned for verification in the background or which the software has already verified as containing errors.
    Requirement prioritizations in materials management
    u2022 With Requirement Prioritization functionality user can assign requirement urgency at item level in purchasing and reservation documents.
    u2022 The software determines the relevant requirement priority (overall priority) of a material requisition from the combination of requirement urgency group and organizational priority.
    Mass maintenance of outline agreements
    The following two transactions available:
    u2022 Mass maintenance for contracts: transaction code MEMASSCONTRACT
    u2022 Mass maintenance for scheduling agreements: transaction code MEMASSSA
    Commitment plan for purchase contracts
    u2022 With the function of the commitment plan for purchase contracts, it is possible to pre plan value consumption for a purchase contract.
    u2022 To this end, a commitment plan is generated for each document item of the relevant contract.
    u2022 This commitment plan itself can have any number of items.
    u2022 User can define a value and a validity date for each commitment plan item.
    u2022 This enables user to pre plan different values for different periods of time.
    u2022 The software generates an earmarked fund document for a defined commitment plan item.
    u2022 This earmarked funds document can in turn contain several different items with different account assignments.
    u2022 The software adopts these account assignments from the item account assignments of the commitment plan.
    u2022 If a purchase requisition or purchase order references this contract, the earmarked funds document is copied into the purchase order, and the account assignment is adopted from that document.
    u2022 Account assignment to a different account assignment object is then no longer allowed.
    Availability check in "Enjoy purchase order and requisition"
    u2022 Display and checking of availability are invokable separately in the "Enjoy purchase order and requisition" function, in line with the software behavior on the sales side.
    u2022 User invoke the display and checking of availability in the "Enjoy purchase order" function (transaction code ME21N) and the "Enjoy purchase requisition" function (transaction code ME51N) as follows:
    To display the availability overview, choose the menu path "Environment -> Availability." - To check availability, choose the "Check Availability" icon.
    Until this release, if user carried out the availability check for an item of a stock transport order, the software adopted confirmations as per the desired date/time only.
    u2022 Two settings are possible with availability check:
    Confirmation as per desired date/time (this is the standard setting and corresponds to previous software behavior)
    Delivery proposal - Full confirmation
    External services: putting service items in the purchase order on hold (changed)
    User can put purchase orders with service items on hold if these items do not contain any errors. Purchase orders with service items can also be put on hold if errors occur only at header level or as a result of the availability check.
    Customizing transactions OX18 replaced by view
    The assigned customizing transactions have been replaced by the following view in the following implementation guide activity in customizing for the enterprise structure: Assign plant to company code: transaction OX18 replaced by view V_T001K_Assign. One will find this activity in the implementation guide under the menu path "Enterprise Structure -> Assignment -> Logistics General -> Assign Plant to Company Code."
    Goods receipt: new movement types in inventory management
    The following new movement types are available in inventory management:
    107: Goods receipt to valuated goods receipt blocked stock
    109: Goods receipt from valuated goods receipt blocked stock
    Prepayment of invoices
    This functionality is characterized as follows:
    u2022 User can trigger prepayment of vendor invoices in logistics invoice verification.
    u2022 User use the prepayment function for vendors with whom organisation has a good, long-standing relationship.
    u2022 The function enables payment soon after issue of the invoice and full exploitation of the date of required payment and existing cash discounts, by posting the vendor liabilities, taxes, and cash discounts in financial accounting in advance.
    u2022 The software executes the payment of the invoice regardless of the relevant goods receipt and the outcome of the invoice verification check.
    u2022 Most logistics invoice verification standard functions are not affected by the prepayment function.
    u2022 When the software posts invoices, it continues to execute the standard checks.
    u2022 If the software has already posted the prepayment document, user can make only restricted changes to the header fields of the invoice.
    u2022 To ensure adequate and orderly financial accounting postings, a prepayment clearing account has been added to SAP ERP Central Component.
    u2022 Upon prepayment, the software debits this account and then settles the account again after executing the check.
    Purchasing accounting information to the former SAP Business Information Warehouse
    u2022 With the transfer of the purchasing account information to the former SAP Business Information Warehouse component (whose functionality is now part of SAP Net Weaver), it is now possible to maintain Info Cubes, reports, and queries that can determine how and where the costs from purchasing documents have been assigned and controlled.
    u2022 As part of the software, a new data source (2LIS_02_ACC) has been created and the purchasing extraction process extended to cover the account information for purchasing orders, schedule agreements, and contracts.
    Automatic settlement of planned delivery costs with evaluated receipt settlement (MRDC)
    u2022 A new report (RMMR1MDC), available within the logistics invoice verification, can be used to automatically settle planned delivery costs.
    u2022 To invoke the report, from the SAP easy access screen, choose the menu path "Logistics -> Materials Management -> Logistics Invoice Verification -> Automatic Settlement -> Automatic Delivery Cost Settlement" (transaction code MRDC).
    u2022 Functionality for report RMMR1MRS is enhanced.
    u2022 User can use the report RMMR1MRS, "Evaluated receipt settlement with logistics invoice verification (LIV)" (transaction code MRRL), to settle planned delivery costs in addition to goods and service items within logistics invoice verification.
    u2022 To do so, set the relevant indicator on the initial screen of the report.
    Parking service items
    It is now possible to put service orders without errors or with commitment errors on hold.
    Report MB5B : Stock on Posting Date
    u2022 This Report is available with "Non-Hierarchy" display option which provides details of Opening, Receipt, Issue and Closing balances of Stock with quantity and value both for a given period.
    u2022 This functionality is not available in Release 4.7.
    Stock Transfer between Storage Locations
    u2022 Function of stock transport orders between storage locations is available from ECC 6.0 onwards.
    u2022 As a result of which user can input issuing storage location with supplying plant.
    u2022 Facility of using different delivery types for different issuing storage locations is available.
    u2022 Shipping Point data can also be determined based on the issuing storage location.

  • Is SAP version 4.5b Compatible with GRC-SUP 5.3

    Hi Experts,
    I was wondering if anyone knows whether or not GRC Super User Privledge Manager is compatible with SAP version 4.5b?
    We are in the middle of an upgrade to ECC6 but wanted to upgrade FF before the upgrade goes live to avoid any complications on go-live day.
    Regards
    Andrew

    Ankur,
    he's talking abo9ut SPM, so a 3rd party RTA won't help
    If you're doing an upgrade, don't bother. There is no RTA for 4.5b, hence no SPM.
    Keep your fingers crossed and continue full speed once you're on ECC6
    Frank.

  • Precompiler Runtime Version Upgrade (see also note 557227)

    In order to apply SP38 on the MiniWAS you require a Kernel upgrade to level 1271. After having upgraded my kernel the application server is not starting anymore due to Workprocess errors (1 to 6): unable to connect. After looking at the log I noticed the following errors:
    1 - Using non supported SAP DB precompiler runtime version  7.3.1.007
    2 - Min. version for this release must be 7.3.1.010
    I have tried to perform this upgrade using note 557227 but haven't succeeded.
    As a workaround I decided to perform a SAP DB upgrade from release 7.3.0.28 to 7.3.0.52 but also here a failure during executing of SDBUPD: Database connection failed (my  suspicion is, this is similar to the connection problem described above).
    Has anyone experienced any of these problems and how did you get around it? Thanks, Tiest

    Hi Craig, always nice to see your valued responses. This is where I am so far: I have successfully been able (at last) to upgrade the Precompiler Runtime Version using note 557227 and imported SP43 successfully.
    Only one issue remains before I can start my local BSP development effort and start to add value - hopefully - to your knowledge which is the DB Upgrade. I have downloaded the MaxDB 7.5 version and when I execute the SDBUPD command it end almost immediately with the message, can not connect to the instance. Any suggestions how to bypass this issue? Thanks, Tiest

  • Difference between the SAP versions

    Dear all,
    Please let me know the difference between 4.6b, 4.7 and ECC5.0 with special reference to the SD module.
    Thanks in advance.

    There are so many differences between the version in different objects
    I will explain in two or more objects the difference
    1 in the customer master in 4.6 version there is no partner function tab in the customer in xd01 t-code
    and also there is no CIN tab in that version
    but it is there in the 4.7 EE version
    This is the major change from the 4.6cc to 4.7EE
    2. in 4.7EE there is some settings that are related for CIN
    which cannot be done in 4.7EE that means they need some patches for doing the configuration setting for the CIN
    But we can do the same in the 6.0 version
    These are the some of the settings that are differed in the two versions and in that two objects
