SEM / BW upgrade advise required - Please help urgently

Hi,
We have migrated from a different company (January 2006) where they were using SEM -BPS and BCS. After the migration, we are not using SEM. Our BW version is 3.10. Our SAP R/3 version is 4.6C.
Now, We are planning to implement SEM- BCS. Our existing system component informations are as below.
SAP_BW - Release 3.10 (Support pack 22)
SEM_BW -Release 3.50 (Support pack17)
SAP_BASIS - Release 6.20 (Support pack 54)
SAP_ABA -Release 6.20 (Support pack 54)
PI_BASIS - 2004_1_620 (Support pack 10)
FINBASIS -200 (Support pack18)
BI_CONT - 330 (Support pack 17)
We have the following questions. Please advise.
1. Understood that the mainstream maintenance for BW 3.10 has ended on December 2006 ( The same for SAP_SEM: 3.50 also). So, If we upgrade to BW3.5 (Netweaver 2004), whether we will get the SEM 4.00 along with the upgrade so that we will have everything BW 3.5 and SEM 4.0 in a single box?
2. I am still seeing that the SEM_BW version 3.50 in the system component informations. Does that mean that we still have SEM components within BW 3.10?  If yes, can we upgrade this to SEM 4.00 so that our BW system will get  upgrade to BW 3.5?
3. Or what is the alternative, you suggest so that we will have SEM4.0
We are confused. Please advise at your earliest.
Please also send some links where we can compare the versions for BW/ SEM.
Thanks .

Hi,
With BW 3.5 you'll need to upgrade SEM to SEM 4.0.
With 3.1 you'll have SEM components if you had installed SEM earlier. You can upgrade SEM separately in this case. Check the release notes to make sure that it dosen't require any upgrade or patch upgrades to your existing BW components.
For your BCS implementation, check what functionality you need, because most of the functionality that BCS projects use are available with BW 3.5 and SEM 4.0. So chances are that even f just upgrade SEM to ver 4.0 you might still have to upgrade your BW to ver 3.5 in order to utilize the full functionality.
You can search this forum for links on the upgrade and comparisions. Other good sources will be the release notes for upgrades on the SAP site.
Cheers,
Kedar

    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion
    Upgrading from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99.
    If you sign into the App Store and try to purchase Mountain Lion but the App Store says your computer is not compatible then you may still be able to upgrade to Lion per the following information.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer) - Model Identifier 7,1 or later
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer) - Model Identifier 5,1 or later

  • Did an update for my ipad to ios 5 from 3 - now it stopped workig at all - only shows an icon of usb connection to i tunes. Reset didn't help , computer doesn't see an ipad. Befor did an update to i-tunes 10 as it was advised. Please HELP !

    Did an update for my ipad to ios 5 from 3 - now it stopped workig at all - only shows an icon of usb connection to i tunes. Reset didn't help , computer doesn't see an ipad. Befor did an update to i-tunes 10 as it was advised. Please HELP ! Another thing - why it happend ? I think that Apple is totaly responsible for this and where they are ? I even can't send them an e-mail ? What type of company it is ?

    Yes, Apple has caused people to go through massive panic, anxiety and wasted time by not coming out and telling us about this problem. They must know about it. How can we tell them? Now I understand why it took me 50 tries to upgrade to OS5. We all got the same crazy errors that caused us to reinstall iTunes, turn off our firewalls, buy new USB cables and basically waste tons of time and energy, when the solution was very simple. Plug your device into a USB port on your computer.
    After years of using a peripheral USB hub successfully it's no wonder we all started freaking out and thinking it was a major problem. Yes, I'm blowing off some steam, but I've been an Apple fanatic for a long time and I'm not happy about their lack of response to this issue.

    Hi Swaroopba,
    It can be very well done thru Form based Authentication.
    For eg let me explain with respect to Tomcat.
    Go to
    $TOMCAT_HOME/webapps/examples/WEB-INF directory.
    Please add the following code in it.
    <security-constraint>
    <web-resource-collection>
    <web-resource-name>Protected Area </web-resource-name>
    <!-- Define the context URL's to be protected -->
    <url-pattern>/jsp/security/protected</url-pattern>
    </web-resource-collection>
    </security-constraint>
    Please add the following code in it. And you have to specify the roles for it.
    I hope this will be helpful for you.
    Or if you want it in an application, please let me know.
    Thanks

    Hi everyone, I�m having problems with Java Mail, I have just installed it along with the java activation framework, they are located in the following directories:
    JavaMail: C:\jdk1.3.1\lib\javamail-1_2[1]
    Java activation framework: C:\jdk1.3.1\lib\jaf1_0_1[1]
    I have the classpath set as: C:\jdk1.3.1\lib\mail.jar;C:\jdk1.3.1\lib\activation.jar
    When I try to compile the sample code provided with these packages, msgsend.java using Jbuilder 2 I get the following errors:

    If I try to use another Java package to compile it I get even more errors (52), I cannot compile it by using the Javac command line compiler, it just says �Bad command or file name�.
    Can anyone tell me Why this is happening and how I might be able to fix it please, I need to start learning Java Mail quickly but at the moment I can�t even begin to do this until I can understand how to get this sample code to work.
    Thanks Everyone

    First of all... don't post with topics like "Please Help - Urgent". The topic is supposed to reflect what the question is about.
    Secondly... think for a second. If mail.jar is in C:\jdk1.3.1\lib\javamail-1_2[1]... why are you with your classpath saying that mail.jar is in C:\jdk1.3.1\lib ?
    You classpath is supposed to point directly at you jar-files.

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Please Help Urgently to refresh the report on the change in data

    We want to refresh report at runtime for the Drill Down report if any user changes the Data. We changes the data from the form which is called from the report and we want to this effect on the report on the prompt.
    Is there any method to close the report while it is in the queue of Background Engine? Can we refresh the report ? Please help urgently.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Pritesh,
    Reports goes out to the database and fetches the data (not a snapshot) and returns the information, formats it and displays it. The only way to refresh, is to rerun the report.
    If your are running from the server, you need to make sure you are not fetching from cache (you determine this from destype and set the life of the cache in the servername.ora file).
    I am unaware of any way to programatically close the report once displayed. The user must take action to close the report (unless you call the operating system to kill the display). When you rerun the report from Oracle Forms, you will get fresh data.
