SPDD question

Hi,
I have a question on spdd modification
When I adjusted SPDD modification, I followed SAP proposal and created a structure ZAA as include structure,
But there is a warning on this structure(enhancement category), I ignored this warning in SPDD modification. and the request of SPDD hasn't be transported to QA system , because
I adjusted SPDD on QA again,I will do it on PRD again.
The problem is:
1: After DEV system Upgrade, we are doing some syntax correction, also, I want to correct these two structures's warning, but these two structures are locked by user (SPDD user ) and client 000.
so I cann't correct these two structures.
How should I do on these issue.
(Not only DEV, but also QA and PRD)...
2: In Standard spdd flow, is it necessary to correct the add-on table's syntax warning:enhancement category (This add-on table is created in spdd phase)??
3: If I correct the warning(enhancement category) of question 2 after upgrade ,is there any impact?
Best Regards,

Hi Harry,
Correction of these Warnings is not required. If you release the request in DEV you should be able to correct these structures again. Then you can transport them to QA and PRD. Let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Sai

Question on SPAU and SPDD.

Hi Everybody,
I have gone through the links and the questions in SDN and ended up in some confusion...
What objects will come in SPAU and SPDD?
What happens to the modifications done in the older version when we upgrade the version? (with Modification assistant and w/o)
Will they come in these transactions?
And what if we apply some patches(Notes) to the system? What is the impact of these patches to the SPAU transaction?
Please provide me the information..
Thanks in advance...

hi Sankar,
Please find below, answers to your questions:
I have gone through the links and the questions in SDN and ended up in some confusion...
1.What objects will come in SPAU and SPDD?
Ans: All the objects which are modified, after tansporting to the current system,
will be listed in SPAU and SPDD. SPDD contains the list of all modified Data Dictionary objects, like tables, dataelements, domains,view...etc. The rest of all the modified repository objects will be listed in SPAU. 
What happens to the modifications done in the older version when we upgrade the version? (with Modification assistant and w/o)
 Ans: After the initial upgrade happens, we have to do adjustments from SPAU/SPDD to maintain or reset the changes. That is, from the list of objects in SPAU/SPDD, you have to either carry forward the changes to the new version, by choosing the option ADOPT CHANGES (available on right click) or RESET TO ORIGINAL (available on right click).
Will they come in these transactions?
 Ans: yes, they will be listed in these transactions, after the BASIS updgrade activity. 
And what if we apply some patches(Notes) to the system? What is the impact of these patches to the SPAU transaction?
Ans: Patches will be supported by the version upgrade. In case of notes, we have to verify whether these notes are supported by the new version (you can go into http://www.service.sap.com/notes to verify this. Also, we have to analyze whther the code in the note is already incorporated in the new version. In this case you can ignore the chanes choosing RESET TO ORIGINAL option
Hope this helps,

Upgrade to ECC 6.0 from 4.7 - When to execute SPDD/SPAU

Hi Expert,
I'm doing technical upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 and just discover notes that related to activating Add-ons (Business Switch) for DIMP. It seems like some of the switch need to be turn on manually. The question is, should this switch be turned on before SPDD/SPAU or I can run SPDD/SPAU then turn on the switch? I'm raising this question because I notice some of the collective search help that contain customized elementary search help become resetted and the customized search help is not included in the standard search help anymore. Thanks in advance for the answer.
Rgrds,
Abraham

Hi Abraham,
As said by Abdul you can do the SPDD during the phase ACT_700, The SAPup tool stops at this phase and prompts you for the confirmation.
In this phase you have to login to the shadow instance and in the 000 client with DDIC user and create a user as the copy of the DDIC.
use this newly created user for doing the SPDD in the shadow instance.
SPAU can be done once the upgrade is completed with in 14 days with out a developer key after 14 days you need a developer key.
when you carry out further upgrades you can include these 2 requests SPDD and SPAU during the upgrade itself. In this situation if you have any other delta adjustments then you have to do that delta in the shadow instace otherwise you dont need to work again on the SPDD and SPAU for the rest of the systems.
Hope this info is useful.
Thanks,
Venkat.

Cannot activate modifications for table structure in SPDD during upgrade

Hi, all.
I am now trying to upgrade ECC5.0 to ERP6.0.
In SPDD screen, some modifications which will be lost are found with yellow traffic signal.
I have already tried to "adopt modifications", but the results can be categorized to 2 types.
Type1: Table XXXX was activated with warning. (Some fields were inserted by us.)
[Warning messages]
! Enhancement category for table missing.
! Enhancement category for include or subtype missing.
! Field ZXXXX does not lie within customer namespace.
Table ZXXXX was activated with warning.
Appended table XXXX is temporarily partially active.
After clicking "back" button on Log display screen, " Adjustment of table XXXX can be completed".
I clicked "back" and selected "No" in pop-up screen of "Reset to original", the row of the table became green check mark.
However, when I checked "Versions" to compare "modif" and "active", the row of "modif" did not appear in "Versions of Object XXXX of Type Table Definition" screen, and seems that the modifications will be lost from "delta display" screen.
Can you provide me the solution of this situation ?
I guess these Tables in Type1 will be activated and the row of "modif" appear in "Versions" screen, if I could solve the warning, but I do not know how to do it.
Type2: Modifications cannot be adopted to Table XXXX
The table which will be changed in "General Attributes"
-from "Not classified" to "Can be enhanced(character-type)"
-from "Can be enhanced(character-type)" to "Can be enhanced(character-type or numeric)".
I have chosen "Adopt modifications", then Phase2 with message "Proposal corresponds to current version" appeared.
When I click "Back" and in pop-up screen which propose " Reset to original" I clicked "No", then the traffic signal was still yellow.
How can I adopt modifications for this type ?
Sorry for long question.
Appreciate if you could answer above at least one of them soon.
Best regards,
Shin

you can unlock the shadow system using sapup -unlockshd

SPDD & SPAU and EhP4 before or after ?

Hello all
We intend to go for upgrade from 4.6c to ECC6 with EHP4 ..We are planning to have SPDD & SPAU first then install EhP4 and then again SPDD & SPAU. But my question is in order to save time can we skip the initial SPDD & SPAU analysis n fixation part and directly go to EhP4 installation and then do the SPDD & SPAU analysis .?
Please help
Thanks & Regards
Nilesh

Hello Friend,
Rgrding the SPAU and SPDD...I would suggest that the way you have taken is correct...
Because you are upgrading ECC6 from 4.6c and i can expect there are lot of customization!
so first to SPAU & SPDD after ECC6 again after ENh4 (because enhancement package can bring some new feature alongside the ECC6)...
In that way it is easy to maintain the system and existing code...
good luck

SPAU / SPDD Transport During Upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0

We are currently upgrading R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0 SR2. During the DEV upgrade, we performed Dictionary Objects adjustments before ACT 7.00 and SPAU adjustments at the end of the upgrade. All the adjustments are collected in a transport.
I read in another thread that we will have to choose 'SELECT FOR TRANSPORT' button in SPAU and not release it. Then, continue with the upgrade. And in the same thread, it is also mentioned that DDIC object modifications should not be handled through transports.
Now, my question is, if I have collected the SPAU adjustments in a transport and continued with the upgrade without choosing the 'SELECT FOR TRANSPORT' button, can I do it after I complete the upgrade before I continue with QAS upgrade? Will the upgrade still automatically detect the transports and move them? And, my other question is, if DDIC modifications are not supposed to be dealt through transports, how else should they be worked upon?
Your response ASAP will be rewarded properly.
Thank you.

Nick, thank you for the reference. Even though I had gone through this note before, I couldn't apply this note because, this note was refering to "R3up" which, I guess, is no more used. "SAPup" is the program currently in use. Also the location mentioned in the note to execute "R3up" is "//usr/sap/put/exe" but, "SAPup" is located under "//usr/sap/put/bin/". So, I am not sure if there is any new notes refering to this. One other question I have with regards to this note is, one of the arguments for the command R3up is, "REL". For SPDD, the note suggests to use target release. And for SPAU, the note suggest to use the release mentioned in the DDIC activation phase.
In my case, I am upgrading from 4.6D (kernel) to 700 (kernel). The DDIC activation shows ACT_700. So, I am sure I would use "700" as value for "REL" for SPDD. But, am I supposed to use "46D" for SPAU? or should I use "700"?
Thank you.

Upgrading from 4.7C to ECC 6.0: A rookie's question

Hi.. I'm a rookie abap guy, waiting to jump into my first upgrade project (which is also my first project in SAP). Can you tell briefly about the set of main procedures involved? My questions are the basic ones like who starts an upgrade? Is it the basis guys? How does it go on? And where does my role.. or rather a good abapper's role start? Thanks in advance..

Programs / Reports
OSS Notes
SAP Repository Objects
SAP Data Dictionary Objects
Domains, Data Elements
Tables, Structures and Views
Module Pools, Sub Routine pools
BDC Programs

You have to aware of all related program like BDC's , Screens related errors and all dictionary related problems.
Some function modules may become obsolete, and some screens will change
abnd some new fields will be added in the new versions etc.
Also take care of SPAU and SPDD tcodes.
You should be able to know about Unicode concept in sap.
The upgrade team includes:
mySAP Technology staff (formerly know as SAP Basis staff)
Functional / business process staff
User owners / key users
Training staff
IT (network, servers, desktop, and so on)
Your network of contacts and peers
Partners or consultants
SAP
Your sales contact:
SAP Sales for direct customers
CBS provider for VAR customers

During planning for an upgrade, you must gather and prepare all materials,
including the:
ASAP Upgrade Roadmap
Upgrade manuals
Upgrade script
Hope this is helpful, Do reward.

SPAU / SPDD Adjustment Problem

Hi to all and thanks in advance for reading my question.
I need to edit a program, but, when I try to, I get the message "EU 526" that instructs me that the object I'm trying to edit was already changed or enhanced and that this object has a new version imported to the system with a Release upgrade, and this new version was not reconcilied with the new version.
Ideed we have applied a support package and we are correcting a problem that were found in a standard, following a information sent to us from SAP.
Then, I go to SPAU to run the modification adjustment, but the object isn't at the list of the SPAU objects.
What I need to do in this situation? How can I solve this problem?
Thanks again,
Umberto

TDMS - Quick winning Question....

We are reviewing TDMS
We have one quick question ....
After 4 years of Journey & age of landscpae, becuase of SPDD & SPAU was not handled incidentally during "different" patch upgrades. and we assume there is slight inconsistency of " Repository objects" " Dictionary Objects"...
We want to acheive In short
We want to build a Development System which should be in synch of " Repository objects" " Dictionary Objects"... with out any master & application data with TDMS ?
Can we acheive this or not ...
TDMS provides all other luxuries, but we could get a straight confirmation as requirement as above.
Pl Help
Regards
PR

Hi Sriniwas
If you are asking this question to make a buying decision about TDMS then i would suggest that you get in touch with your SAP customer engagement manager (account manager) and ask him to present you all the capabilities and functionalities of TDMS.
Current version of TDMS offer multiple options and functionalities which may be useful for you.
Now regarding the query that you have asked -
If I understood you correctly you are looking for a functionality using which you want to create a development system which is a copy of your production system such that only repository gets copied over from production to the development system and all the client dependent application data is filtered. In the end you will have your development system which is in perfect sync as far as repository and DDIC is concerned.
The above can certainly be achieved using the TDMS Shell process within TDMS. TDMS Shell is also used as a process to prepare your receiver system for TDMS data transfer.
I hope this info helps
Pankaj.

Upgrade of QA - spdd transport not working

Dear forum members,
during the upgrade of our test system, the spdd transport from the dev system is not correctly taken into account.
All objects processed with modification assistant have correct status but other objects have a yellow status which can be seen here:
http://www.itn.is/~eirikur/sap1/spdd_list.htm
Can you help us to solve this problem ?
Rgds, Eirikur.

Hi Eirikur,
May be the objects adjusted in the request are not complete.You may check the objects in the transport request directly using se01 on the dev system so that you know what all objects been adjusted during ACT_700 phase.
Two things you need to take care while handling with SPDD/SPAU during upgrade.If you have not adjusted the SPDD properly you have chances of loosing ur dictionary tables after upgrade.
I prefer you manually adjust SPDD tables with fields as first priority(if you dont ajust you will loose the customer changes and data) .Also i have see ur SPDD list under deleted objects there is a SAP std table which was touched by the Customer,it is better you ask the technial team whether you need that object before you proceed otherwise the object will be completly deleted after upgrade.All changes you should include in a single transport request.You dont have to release the transport request because upgrade procedure does it automatically.For Next upgrade you can simply use this Request for adjustment.
All adjusted objects should have tick mark(in green color).
Coming to SPAU Normally the technical team handles it after upgrade within the 14 days time limit after upgrade.
Hope this throws some light to ur question.

"Continue Without Adjustment" - SPDD

Hi Folks,
i always has this unclear doubt and question in our mind when doing upgrade. During Preprocessing phase, SAPup or SAPEhpi
prompt us for SPDD adjustment by logging to client 000 and continue with options
i) Adjustment completed
ii) Continue without adjustment
iii) exit
After reading threads/discussion, guides, notes, it mentions is important to process SPDD here, otherwise we'll risk of losing data overwritten by SAP original objects.
However, my question is: Can I proceed with "Continue Without Adjustment" and perform the SPDD adjustment after the upgrade, just like SPAU?
I've tested and performed the SPDD after upgrade which looked fine. Appreciate if someone can enlighten me.
Thanks,
Nicholas Chang.

Hi Sunny,
Thanks for your swift response. Your existence in SDN is awesome and you make a different here!
Agree and this is the conventional method for upgrade. However, we still able use option "Continue without adjustment" and perform the SPDD after upgrade? Theoretically, for eg: an index was added to one table, and we still allow to adjust it after upgrade.
Cheers,
Nicholas Chang

SPDD issue

Hi All,
I need help regarding SPDD Adjustment Transport Request .
Now we are doing SPDD for Production system but the problem is
While adjusting the standard objects It asks for Transportable CTS but for any Z-includes or Z-objects created at this phase It is asking for LOCAL CTS .
Now the problem is We are unable to Merge both the CTS into One u2026because type is different ( We need one CTS for SPDD).
My Question is Why it is asking for Local CTS for Z-objects in Production System ..
Thanks
Bobby

Hi Bobby,
check whether i have answered your questions.
"While adjusting the standard objects It asks for Transportable CTS but for any Z-includes or Z-objects created at this phase It is asking for LOCAL CTS . "
A) If your Z* objects are under local packages then it will create local tranport. Make sure you are saving in the right transportable package (i.e ZPKG ).
"Now the problem is We are unable to Merge both the CTS into One u2026because type is different ( We need one CTS for SPDD)."
A) You cannot merge because you saved the Z* objects changes to local transport.
"My Question is Why it is asking for Local CTS for Z-objects in Production System .."
A) Check your Zobjects package i.e under which pkg your are saving. check in tcode:se80 to get more details of the Zobject you saved or check the attributes of the Z objects.
Once you are able to fix this local transport to Transportable request you can merge the transports.
regards,
Vamshi.

Questions on Print Quote report

Hi,
I'm fairly new to Oracle Quoting and trying to get familiar with it. I have a few questions and would appreciate if anyone answers them
1) We have a requirement to customize the Print Quote report. I searched these forums and found that this report can be defined either as a XML Publisher report or an Oracle Reports report depending on a profile option. Can you please let me know what the name of the profile option is?
2) When I select the 'Print Quote' option from the Actions drop down in the quoting page and click Submit I get the report printed and see the following URL in my browser.
http://<host>:<port>/dev60cgi/rwcgi60?PROJ03_APPS+report=/proj3/app/appltop/aso/11.5.0/reports/US/ASOPQTEL.rdf+DESTYPE=CACHE+P_TCK_ID=23731428+P_EXECUTABLE=N+P_SHOW_CHARGES=N+P_SHOW_CATG_TOT=N+P_SHOW_PRICE_ADJ=Y+P_SESSION_ID=c-RAuP8LOvdnv30grRzKqUQs:S+P_SHOW_HDR_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_LINE_ATTACH=N+P_SHOW_HDR_SALESUPP=N+P_SHOW_LN_SALESUPP=N+TOLERANCE=0+DESFORMAT=RTF+DESNAME=Quote.rtf
Does it mean that the profile in our case is set to call the rdf since it has reference to ASOPQTEL.rdf in the above url?
3) When you click on submit button do we have something like this in the jsp code: On click call ASOPQTEL.rdf. Is the report called using a concurrent program? I want to know how the report is getting invoked?
4) If we want to customize the jsp pages can you please let me know the steps involved in making the customizations and testing them.
Thanks and Appreciate your patience

1) We have a requirement to customize the Print Quote report. I searched these forums and found that this report can be defined either as a XML Publisher report or an Oracle Reports report depending on a profile option. Can you please let me know what the name of the profile option is?

Yes, your understanding is correct.3) When you click on submit button do we have something like this in the jsp code: On click call ASOPQTEL.rdf. Is the report called using a concurrent program? I want to know how the report is getting invoked?
No, there is no conc program getting called, you can directly call a report in a browser window, Oracle reports server will execute the report and send the HTTP response to the browser.4) If we want to customize the jsp pages can you please let me know the steps involved in making the customizations and testing them.
This is detailed in many threads.Thanks
