Steps to follow in Upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0

Hi ,
As part of Upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 , Basis team completed Prepare module.
Now Prepare module report says there are some modifications need to be done .
Do i need to make the changes to the adjustments populated in SPDD/ SPAU transaction code before  basis team goes for Upgrade ?
If changes are applied to the modifications populated in SPDD / SPAU. How i need to transport these objects ?
Please let me know the steps need to take in transport of these objects .
Cheers,
Reddy

Dear,
Transaction SPDD allows you to adjust modifications to ABAP Dictionary objects during an upgrade, the upgrade will stop at the begin of ACT_700 phase, so you can logon to shadow instance and perform the adjustments in SPDD.
About transaction SPAU that allows you to adjust programs, function modules, screens, interfaces, documentation, and text elements after an upgrade.
You have the option to include the SPDD request from previous upgrade,
The PREPARE includes the ADJUSTPRP phase for this purpose. In this
phase, the system searches the global transport directory for comparison
requests from previous upgrades and offers these for inclusion in the
upgrade. If you do not have this request, you may go ahead with the upgrade
and the proceed with the SPDD / SPAU adjustments during the upgrade.
Please refer to the following SAP Notes for more details:
68678   Exporting modification adjustment for 2nd upgrade
610311 Importing a modification adjustment in 2nd upgrade
124522 Importing a modification adjustment in 2nd upgrade
I hope this helps.

    Hello,
    After upgrading from 4.6C to ECC 6.0 templates not working properly in smartform, although value is flowing to the point the template is getting called and inside the template there are text elements where placeholders are kept to display the value, when the print is taken there are no values being displayed by the text elements.
    Please note - Text elements doesnot have any conditions present in the condition tabstrip.
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    After the upgrade, you will have to do the security upgrade.
    Please follow these steps.
    1. Go To SU25
    2. Run step 2A to 2D.
    3. In step 2C, you shall get the list of all the affected roles.
    Click on first role. It will take you to authorizations of that role. Click on the "New" tab there to find the new objects added to the role after the upgrade.
    Note: You can open the same role in the unupgraded system to check.
    4. Provide the access to the required authorization objects.
    5. Disable the unwanted authorization objects.
    6. Generate the profile.
    7. Follow the same steps for all the affected roles listed.
    Please note that you will have a list of new objects added.You need to maintain them inorder to avoid any access issues.
    8. After step 2C, complete 2D.

  • Top-Down Distribution - tcode KE28 (release upgrade from 4.6 to ECC 6.0)

    All,
    we are performing a release upgrade from 4.6 to ECC 6.0 and we have a problem with the tcode KE28.
    The variant already set up in the system don't match with the selection fields present in the screen, and the following message is shown:
    Message no. KG346
    The variant does not adhere to the current Customizing setup
    We have saved the variant again, and no problem are present, but the error message refers also to Customizing setup.
    Is there a section in the Customizing where it is possible set up the field to show in the initial screen or the new fields (All Valuation Views, Legal Valuation View and Profit Center Valuation View) are due to the release upgrade?
    If yes, do you know the transaction/path?
    Thanks in advance for your collaboration.

    And also check the release notes of ECC 6.0 in service.sap.com.
    When you are upgrading from 4.6C to ECC6
    Nothing major, follow the same process you'd follow if you were updating PI service packs in R/3 or enhancing data sources. Empty queues in RSA7 and lbwq. Also empty setup tables through lbwg as the upgrade doesn't like it if these tables contain data. This is all on the R/3 side (although you empty RSA7 by running each delta TWICE in BW).
    To transfer queues from lbwq to rsa7, execute jobs through LO cockpit (lbwe).
    Some of your data sources could also be using sm13 instead of lbwq, so do check it out as well.
    For installing ECC 6.0 you required a solution manager key. With out solution manager key you cannot install ECC6.0.
    For ECC 6.0 is called net weaver component here you have ABAP+JAVA stack.
    ECC6.0 supports UNCODE.
    For installing 4.6 you don't require solution manager key. It only having ABAP stack.

  • Table Enhancement Category during upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0

    When our sandbox was upgraded from 4.7 to ECC 6.0, Basis had the ABAP developers change the Enhancement Category on about 400 tables, some of which were custom tables.  The enhancement category was previously u2018not classifiedu2019 on these tables. 
    Is this really necessary?  Has anyone not changed the enhancement categories on tables that were flagged during the upgrade?  Also, what happens if we select the wrong enhancement category?

    Jane,
    This is what SAP says,
    Short Text
    Enhancement Category Selection
    Definition
    Structures and tables that were defined by SAP in the ABAP Dictionary can be enhanced subsequently by customers using Customizing includes or append structures. The enhancements do not only refer to structures/ tables themselves, but also to dependent structures that adopt the enhancement as an include or referenced structure. Append structures that only take effect at the end of the original structure can also cause shifts - in the case of dependent structures - even within these structures.
    You must select an enhancement category for the following reason: In programs where there is no active Unicode check, enhancements to tables and structures can cause syntax and runtime errors during type checks and particularly in combination with deep structures.
    In programs where there is an active Unicode check, statements, operand checks, and accesses with an offset and length are problematic - for example, if numeric or deep components are inserted into a purely character-type structure and the structure thus loses its character- type nature.
    Depending on the structure definition, the radio buttons allowed in the dialog box are ready for input. Choose one of the possible enhancement categories:
    Cannot be enhanced
    The structure must not be enhanced.
    Can be enhanced or character type
    All structure components and their enhancements must be character-type (C, N, D, or T). The original structure and all enhancements through Customizing includes or through append structures are subject to this limitation.
    Can be enhanced or character-type or numeric
    The structure and its enhancement must not contain any deep data types (tables, references, strings).
    Can be enhanced in any way
    The structure and its enhancement may contain components whose data type can be of any type.
    Not classified
    This category can be chosen, for example, for a transition status; however, it must not be chosen for creating structures.
    The rules for defining the enhancement category result implicitly from the structure setup and the classification of the types used. These rules are as follows:
    If the object contains at least one numeric type or a substructure or component (field has a structure/table/view as its type) that can be enhanced numerically, the object can no longer be enhanced character-type, but is itself, at most, enhanceable character-type or numeric.
    If the object contains a deep component (string, reference, or table type), or it contains a substructure or component that is marked as enhanceable in any way, then the object itself is enhanceable in any way.
    If the object does not contain any substructure or component that is marked as enhanceable, you can select cannot be enhanced. If the structure has not yet been enhanced, you can choose the category cannot be enhanced in any case.
    If you are creating new tables and structures in the ABAP Dictionary, the system proposes the category can be enhanced in any way as standard value for the classification of the enhancement options. If the developer chooses a more restrictive classification than can be enhanced in any way for a particular structure, then only the classification levels that adhere to the rules above are allowed. It is not possible to choose an enhancement option of a structure that is more restrictive than the classification resulting immplicitly from the structure setup and from the classification of the types used. Therefore, only the allowed categories are proposed for selection in the maintenance user interface.
    If a structure depends on one or several other structures, the smallest category is chosen as implicit classification (in the order cannot be enhanced < can be enhanced and character-type < can be enhanced and character-type or numeric < can be enhanced in any way). This classification is greater than or less than the category in the other structures and also greater than or the same as the category that results from the actual setup in the original structure itself.

  • SAP Upgradation from 4.5B to ECC 6.0

    Hi all,
    We need to upgrade from 4.5B to ECC 6.0. Gathered all the information abt. the 4.5 B system...Its on AIX using ORACLE.
    I want to know few more info. with your help. i have access to the system through GUI, but didnt have OS level access..
    1.) How to know whether  the system is CLUSTER configured, any transaction?
    2.) I didnt find any Upgradation Guide particular to AIX, can u pls. guide me the path for that in SMP?
    3.) How to check whether its using any third party tools(Like Fire Fighter...etc) and any usage types configured(Like PI, BI...)
    please guide me in knowing the above through GUI?
    Thanks,
    Subbu

    Hi,
    Roadmap is the recomended way to manage the Upgrade project, but this will not make anything automatic. If you don´t have the knowledge and time to configure the project in Solman then just follow the Upgrade Guide. In this Roadmap is included Technical and Funtional processes and it is an excellent starting point for the project but as already said, if don´t have the knowledge or any other person from the team either, then don´t worry much about it althoug it is imperative that a good Project is designed before starting the process either using MS Project or any other software, after the first tests you will have to adjust times for next upgrades.
    Buy the way in the upgrade guide there are some sections specially dedicated to AIX but most parts of the process are the same for any OS/DB combo. Basically check prerequisites, do prepare, fix what ever is necesary and then run upgrade process.
    Read the Upgrade Guide 2 or 3 times to get a clear Idea on what should be done before, during and after the upgrade process, read all related notes and have them printed in case of any problem.
    AND you should have access to OS level, if you don´t then when doing Prepare or Upgrade then you won´t be able to look at the logs and that is Vital during the process. Also need to have access to SAP directories to check and change files like copying upgrade DVD's, upgrading R3trans, TP, etc so explain that to them or make one of them to be next to you.
    Good Luck

  • Security Upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0

    We upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0.
    In the past we use SU24 to maintain authorization check.
    Do I need to run the Step 1 in SU25? (initially filling customer tables)
    Does this step overwrite everything by copy tables USOBT, USOBX to USOBT_C and USOBX_C ?
    If I don't run this step 1, how can I get the new SAP default values from ECC 6.0?
    Thanks in advance.

    Senthil

    Hi,
    Senthil following are ans to ur questions
    1. After the SPAU remediation is completed, should I manually release the transport or should I start the upgrade and the upgrade will release that transport?
    Ans : Once your SPAU remediation is completed you should release the requests and then start the upgrade of the DEV system.
    2. How do we import this SPDD & SPAU transport in the QA and PRD, I mean at what stage of the upgrade we need to specify/ include this transport?
    Ans : Now when you start the QA or PRD upgrade at that time you come across a phase during PREPARE called ADJUSTPRP.
    Refer following note for further information --
    SAPNote 124522 - Importing a modification adjustment in 2nd upgrade
    3. Suppose the QA & PRD has more objects to adjust than our Dev box, and this transport will not take care of the delta objects, so in that case how should we remediate, we need to create an other transport request in QA and then it will become two transports?
    Ans : First of all this should not be the scenario where you have more modified objects than that in DEV. As all the modfications should take place in DEV first and then should be transported to QA and then PRD. But in such case what you can do is complete the upgrade of QA system and then you are still having 14 days to complete the SPAU objects. So you can make another request which can be transported as a post upgrade activity once the upgrade is completed in production. For SPDD you will have to take care of the SPDD objects if there are different than those in DEV during the ACT_700 phase only or else you might risk data.
    This is the reason why SAP always asks you to follow a proper transport path.
    4. If our dev box has more objects for remediation than our QA & PRD, then will these objects be also imported into the QA & PRD box?
    Ans : Yes, thats why you should be very sure about the SPAU objects that you have found in DEV. You need to compare the objects with QA and PRD and then only make the modifications.
    I hope i have answered all your queries.

    Suhas

  • HR Upgrade from 4.6c to ECC 6.0

    Hi,
       I am currently about to start a HR Upgrade project from 4.6c to ECC 6.0. Does anyone have  the checklist of activities to be followed during upgrade process or any plan for upgrade process in detail. Anyone involved in upgrades pls do send across.
    Regards
    Jyothi

    Hi,
    We have recently upgraded from 4.6C to ECC 5.0. Checklist would be like...during upgrade you need to clear SPAU, there you may get cought in Schema, Rule, Functions,,you need to check there. Also check all User exits & BADI's.
    After upgrade you need to check all user defined variants properly since some screen might have changed during upgrade. Also check WT characteristics, since some standard WT charactersistics have been changed.
    Apart from this, there was no major issue in our upgrade. It went on smooth.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
