SEM 4 to SEM 6 upgrade Steps.. Need immediately. Thanks

Hi Experts,
I searched a lot in SAP Forums and as weel as in SAP Service Portals but could not find any straight documentation available for doing an upgrade of SEM 4.0 version to SEM 6.0 version.
Apart from this I find few links that drives me to SAP Support Portal and there the links are not working.
Could any one specifically guide me through High End Summary Steps that need to be followed as part of SEM 4 Upgrade to SEM 6 keeping in view of both SEM BPS and SEM BCS functionalities.
Current system is on BW 3.5 hooked up with SEM 4.
if there are no straight documents that available atleast Please guide me through few crucial Checks I need to do before my BASIS Person do install Upgrade Software. Note that this is purely a Technical upgrade and my role eeds to be strictly to make sure that system should be running the way it is running currently after upgrade.
Many Many thanks in advance and I highly appreciate any useful and quick updates.
Thanks and Regards,
BIP

Hi,
I have no how to and no long list of experience doing this, but there are very important things you should be clear of before you upgrade:
1. Check
- which queries won't work after upgrade?
- are there any programmings reguarding consolidation (BW / BCS) ?- very important
- to be save: secure everything in files or make a syscopy or create a archiv-cube (maybe make use of multiprovider scenario)
- is COI running ? If you use COI, please beware of note 855382
- never forget, there will be changes in BW, the infoobjects may change - in case of using the standardobjects beware of activating those changes
2. Make the upgrade
3. check everything in detail after update
without engagement. =)

I have quicktime pro and it does NOT have the screen record mode that Quicktime is suppose to have. Can I uninstall it and go back to an older version that would have screen recording? If so, how? Step by step needed. Thank you for your time.

Did you remove Quicktime X?
On a normal install Quicktime 7 is installed in the Utilities folder and Quicktime Pro in the main Applications folder.
You will need to reinstall OS X to get Quicktime X back if you have deleted it.
I notice yor profile says 10.5.8. Quicktime X is only available on 10.6 and above.

Upgrade steps needed - Oracle 10g to Oracle 11g in RHEL 4

Hello,
Am in the process of upgrading oracle 10g with 10.1.4.3 IDM,10.1.0.5 DB and 10.1.4.2 portal version to Oracle 11g. Now I see that there are some compatibilities in the OS. I have RHEL 4 and when I check the compatibility guide I see that it is possible to install/upgrade the oracle to 11g. But am worried on the kernel and packages which is needed for Oracle 11g. If there is any step by step assistance on this please guide me. Also I have an another query can I upgrade the OS RHEL 4 to RHEL 5 and then Oracle 10g to Oracle 11g. Will I be seeing any issue after the OS upgrade with product upgrade. Kindly advise me.
R/Ganesh

This is all about libraries, some libraries between RHEL 4 and 5 had change and this may lead to malfunction of some products, cause they have been copiled using old libraries that doesn't exist now, even I think in the upgradres there are compatibility modes where let you keep old libraries, anyway seems a difficult thing to do. If you plan to move RHEL 4 to 5, I think this is your first step and then install again the Portal in the old version, and then make the upgrade, If you make this step by step, as firts install RHEL 5, install db, install portal, upgrade DB and finaly upgrade portal, would be easier.

Semi-automatic update/upgrade; is Arch wrong distro for these boxen?

I wanted to post here a semi-automatic update/upgrade solution I--with a lot of help from someone more knowledgeable--came up with in case it might be of benefit to anyone else. It's been working pretty well for me over the course of the last couple of weeks and should aid me in becoming a better Archer. I also want to ask in this thread for confirmation on whether installing Arch on a couple of machines I have that see fairly intermittent use is inadvisable: if so, I'll look into installing some other distro. First the semi-automatic update solution.
To begin with, what do I mean by "semi-automatic?" Mainly I mean something that's only partially automatic. See, I've come to understand that automating updates/upgrades is a bad idea©™. And I think I understand why. Still, I apparently lack the discipline to be a good Archer, upgrading/updating frequently so as to conform with the philosophy. So I thought I should use my computer to help me be more disciplined: that's partly what they're for, after all, isn't it?
I decided I might make the computer help me be more disciplined, first of all, by making it issue reminders at frequent, regular intervals, that it is time to update/upgrade. Of course cron came immediatelty to mind as part of the solution, though I ended up using the remind program instead. In any case, it seemed like a solution that, not only would remind me at regular, frequent intervals would be desireable, but one that would at the same time initiate the process, would be even better. I thought it must be possible to, for example, cause a terminal to open with a message and corresponding menu that would say something like "System update/upgrade needed: proceed now? 1. Yes 2. No"
This latter would be one of the elements that makes the solution semi-automatic (as opposed to automatic). Answering 2. in that terminal would cause the terminal to simply exit. Answering 1., on the other hand, runs the command sudo pacman -Syu. There is a further level of semi-automation at this stage: you are then prompted to enter the root password before pacman -Syu will run. So, no updating/upgrading happens without input at these two stages.
I should mention as I wrap up this description of my solution that there is yet another important element to it that, while independent of it, is nonetheless related: I subscribed some weeks ago to the Arch news RSS feed. I check that daily, so an even further level of semi-automation is in play here.
This seems to me like it will be a very good solution to bringing my behavior into better conformity with the Arch philosophy. It's worked well so far. That said, I'm certainly open to criticisms. I'm also very open to any improvements that might be suggested. Without further ado, here is the script I run every other day from the remind daemon:
#!/bin/bash
PS3='Begin full system upgrade? '
options=("Yes" "No")
select opt in "${options[@]}"
do
case $opt in
"Yes")
echo "Beginning full system upgrade..."
sudo pacman -Syu
exit
"No")
exit
echo "Please choose the corresponding number"
esac
done
Now, to my question about my other machines as possible Arch install targets. The above applies to the desktop machine in my apt. which is almost always powered on and connected to the 'net: what follows applies to two different machines.
One is a laptop that I use primarily when I travel. It often sits powered off for 1-2 months between uses. The other is an alternate desktop machine in my apt. that is also infrequently used: essentially, when both the wife and I want to work on-line separately--which is not all that frequently (she prefers knitting to computing during her time at home)--it gets fired up. Again, it often sits for 1-2 months without being used.
Now, it seems to me these machines are poor targets for an Arch install because they are far more frequently off-line than on-line, powered down than powered up. Thus they are very unlikely to be updated/upgraded on any kind of regular basis, and certainly never regularly and frequently, as seems to be recommended for Arch machines.
Am I correct in assuming I should be looking for some other distro to install on these infrequently-used machines?
Thanks,
James

I like pacmatic (as suggested at https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pa … _pacmatic). What is supposed to be wrong with it?
It doesn't ignore updates, by the way. It does two things. First, it checks the news and tells you about important news items as soon as you run e.g. pacmatic -Syu. Then it runs the upgrade in the normal way. For example, a news item today concerned lvm2, dev-mapper and linux being upgraded together. It gave me the news item. Then it did the usual paman upgrade routine and upgraded everything, including those packages. Second, every time you run it, it reminds you of any *.pacnew files you haven't dealt with and asks if you want to deal with them now. At least, it asks about most. It never mentions kdmrc.pacnew for some reason.
It's just a wrapper for pacman. From the script:
Pacmatic is a pacman wrapper that takes care of menial but critial tasks.
These include
Checking the archlinux.org news
Summarizing the arch-general mailing list
Reminding if it has been a while since the last sync
Reporting pacnew files
Editing pacnew files
Personally, I've installed an alternative distro on machines which I'm not sure I will be using very regularly. (Also, I like having distinct distros just in case something goes wrong in one case - even if it is a bit of a faff sometimes.)

Upgrade steps Details for 9.2.0.8 to 11.2.0.3 Database

Support,
We have one requirement from our client like "Upgrade the Database from 9.2.0.8 to 11.2.0.3". They are asking only the DB upgrade except Application.
Our Current Database is running in Solaris OS and DB is an 9.2.0.8 and Application is an 11.5.10.2.
I am going to follow the below documents for the Database Upgrade process using DBUA for First Iteration,
Interoperability Notes Oracle EBS 11i with Oracle Database 11gR2 (11.2.0.3) (Doc ID 1585577.1)
Interoperability Notes Oracle EBS 11i with Oracle Database 11gR2 (11.2.0) (Doc ID 881505.1)
In the above documents they mentioned the steps related to the 11g new home installation and upgrade process but before starting the process what are all the things i have to check it in my current Database and Applications.
Because i have clear idea on what we have to do in the new Oracle Home 11g and the Upgrade process but still have some confusion on the Pre-Upgrade Steps in current database.
Kindly suggest me what are the details i have to collect and check in my Current Database or provide any proper Oracle documents for the Database Pre-Upgrade Process.
Thanks in advance,
Vijay.

Vijay,
We would suggest you advice your customer to upgrade to 11.2.0.4 instead on 11.2.0.3

SU25 Upgrade Step

Hello Experts - We just upgrade BW sytem from NW Enhancement Pack 7.0, SP-7 to NW EHP 7.1, SP Stack 7.
1)My question is do we need to do SU25- Upgrade step? I was in a impression that we do this step only for release upgrades.
2) Last time when we did R/3 4.6 to ECC 6.0 upgrade, I saw Yellow lights turned on many of our business and IS roles. Is this normal ?
I performed all steps per SU25, and had to fix all roles to turn off yellow lights.
Anyways back to my question 1, will you please let me know your thoughts?
Thanks Much.

Roles generally only add authorizations for objects in checks.
SU24 (with upgrade and SP data via step 3) generally only add documentation (check indicators) and proposals (check/maintain) so the development system is "leading" in that respect and you have already done this in the step 2 tasks.
But... there is a special case for collisions: namely when SAP proposes a "no check" indicator for an object.
My advise: Create a transport request and collect the proposals in them until a "no check" appears. Have one central transport for it and release it after correcting the roles which are impacted by the context specific check. Good luck with that in your custom developments...
In the rare case that you want to activate the check again for that transaction or SAP did, you must ensure that the role transports go through first.
For other scenarios of accepting all SAP's proposals it makes no difference so you can send the transports through afterwards, as long as you are not opening roles in PROD etc and have not maintained SU22 (a big "no no") nor SU24 in PROD directly.
Your friends here are the USOB_CD* tables and another obscure one - the name of which I cannot remember at the moment.
Cheers and good luck with the upgrade,
Julius

ABAP Upgrading steps from 4.6 to ECC 6.

Hi Experts,
Could you please let me know the steps to upgrade from 4.6 to ECC 6?
As an abapers what are the steps need to take care during upgradation.
Please give me the step by step approach.
Thanks
Kaki

Hi,
First you need to take inventory of all Z developments ( Reports, FM's....)
Find out the Impacted FM's and programs....!!!
check for all the cloned programs/Includes...
check if the system is unicode enabled.
SPAU corrections
SPDD corrections
If System if Unicode ( correct unicode errors )
correct the obsolete FM's and obsolete declarations.
Correction for errors at time of testing.....SAP notes will help a lot in correcting many errors..
post go live support ....!!!
Few important points :-
FM LIST_TO_SPOOL not in ECC6.0. use FM is LIST_TO_ASCII.
Table TVARV has become obsolete. New table TVARVC has been introduced. We copied data from TVARV to TVARVC. ( check SAP note for Details )
Took back up of data in table T512W to T512B .Data can be restored after upgrade using the report RPU12W0C. ( check SAP note for Details )
FMs like WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD are obsolete now. The new FMs are GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD.
New Debugger is introduced.....Debugging is easy and user friendly.
u'll have to change few BDC screen numbers.....whose Screen numbers are changed in ECC...( u'll come accross this errors in Unit testing)
let me know.......if you need any more information....As you start working on the Upgrade...!!!!

MW R12 - key upgrade steps clarification

OS: RHEL4 x86
DB: 11.2.0.3
EBS Upgrade: 11.5.10.2 -> R12.1.1
MW: 2.20
<-> Process Step: Upg to Rel 12.1.1
<---> Product Family: Perform the Upgrade
<-----> Task: Apply Preinstall Patches
<------->Step 1-Check for critical pre-upgrade patches for Financials
I am on my 2nd upgrade. With the first upgrade I had lots of problems with this step since it refers to an MOS note that has lots of information and refers to other MOS notes and it isn't clear what steps in those notes is duplicated within the MW steps.
The first time I did some things in the wrong order since there was no clear direction between the MW steps and all of the notes.
Is there anything that can help clarify how to correctly proceed through this task and the next task, Perform the Upgrade, which are so critical?
Thanks!

It would be really nice to have the exact steps spelled out in detail since this is too crucial to have it be vague and not well understood.
Here's how the MW explains it.
- Process Step: Upg to Rel 12.1.1
--- Product Family: Perform the Upgrade
1) Apply pre-install patches
----- Task: Apply Preinstall Patches
-------- Step 1-Check for critical pre-upgrade patches for Financials (Required)
I think that I understand this section except that I don't know whether patch 7303029 should be applied in this step or not.
2) Apply DBA CUP and related patches
----- Task: Perform the Upgrade
-------- Step 9: Apply DBA CUP and related patches
This is basic and understood.
3) Step 9.1:Apply patch 7303029
Here's what the MW says for the "setup" section:
"This step will download patch 7303029. It will also verify that the u67780700.drv driver is in the correct location and ready to be merged."
Here's what it says for the "execute" section:
cd $AU_TOP/patch/115/driver
admrgpch -d . -preinstall -master u6678700.drv
Neither of these steps actually applies patch 7303029 in pre-install mode but I am under the impression that this needed to be done at some point.
So, please provide the exact steps needed to get this done correctly.
Thanks

Please suggest me, how to proceed and what to do. please guide if i skip this step now and later on I apply latest SP than still I need to do all this.

Hi All,
I also faced a similar issue during upgrade. Some useful findings.
1. Only super user can access this /n/ASU/START
2. All the obligatory executable tasks are automatically performed by the system automatically during upgrade.      SAPADM. Only errors (if any) are to be corrected.
3. Some of the tasks are only to go through some SAP notes as a precaution before upgrade.
4. Execute all the checks /n/ASU/UPGRADE
5. This surely can be skipped, but not advisable.
regards,
Amit
