Support Pack Level Upgrade in BI 7.0

Hi all,
Can anyone let me know what are the possible issues that would occur after upgrading support pack level in BI 7.0.
As far as I know a BI consultant would participate in the upgrade activities like BI objects check, SPAU, query check, etc. Can anyone let me know if there are are any other activities to be performed.
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Sunny.

Hi
There is any customer specific development done by SAP in the previous system. If so, the time to act is just after the pre upgrade study only. The customer would only want to retain the customer specific module developed by SAP. We need to get SAPu2019s intervention in the project before we start the upgrade. SAP would develop certain patches to be run on the previous system  to capture all the customer specific development and then they would run some patches on ECC system u2013 this would release the customer specific development in the new system (ECC./BI). This is a very crucial and important check of the step. If not taken care of at the proper time, it might hamper the Customer Specific development on the new system.
It is to be assured that the new system is at the latest stack level for ABAP, XI, BI etc before we start the SPDD and SPAU phase
Only one request is to be made for SPDD. For SPAU too, only one request should be made.
Previous system sandbox  should be available for reference during the entire upgrade project and should not be scrapped before the Go Live.

    Hi Senthil,
    of course it is always recommended to use the newest Support Package Stack,
    but if your system (your business processes) are working fine, I would recommend you to
    import support package only then when you have an error or you want to have a special fiunctionality.
    Some customers play support packages into the system only twice a year, because the business processes
    should be tested after the sp import.

  • Support Pack level for upgrade

    Hi All,
    We are upgrading from R/3 4.7 to ECC 6.0, can anybody provide me Support Pack level for SAP_ABA, SAP_BASIS etc. before starting upgrade.
    I have gone through lot of OSS notes but not getting exact SP level.
    Regards,
    Sachin

    I depends on
    - what upgrade package you use (SR1, SR2, SR3)
    - the SP level of the source system
    The upgrade guide tells you the minimum SP level needed to do the upgrade.
    If you use the new CD/DVD set, the system will be upgraded to SP 12 (BASIS, ABA, SAP_APPL).
    If you backup your wage tables before the upgrade (as described in the installation guide) you can also go to the highes SP level for SAP_HR.

    Hi Rajesh,
    Please see the note '833438', it explains which pack is required in this scenario.
    "You cannont connect ERP (R/3) releases lower than 4.6C to CRM 5.0.
    All subsequent CRM releases (5.0 or higher) cannot be connected to ERP lower
    than (R/3) 4.6C.
    These types of system landscapes are not supported by SAP.
    If you are using CRM 5.0, you must have implemented Plug-in PI 2004.1
    Support Package 10 and, provided you have Basis Release 620 or higher, you
    must import PI_BASIS 2005.1 in R/3. --> After you have imported these
    plug-ins"

  • Support pack level issue in Standard Finance Program.

    Hi Everyone,
                    i have an issue which is related to Finance. Actually, Finance People are Using a Standard Report (FS10N) - GL Account Line item display. There,Vendor and Customer Details are not displayed (Customer/Vedor Filed is empty) for the normal GL Account. But for the Reconsalation GL accounts they are able to see.
                   For this issue SAP released an SNOTE 1107639 and correction delivered in SAP_APPL  support pack 12.And we already applied it in the system and our current SAP_APPL level is 14. Though it is already available why the problem is still persist.  Another thing is, for the same issue there is another SNOTE 1034354 which guides to enhancement thro' some BADI work in standard program.
                  My question is that if the correction is available in a patch and that is imported as well in to system without any error then it should resolving the problem.but in this case why it does not work out or what could be the reason behind this. As a Basis admin i would like to know.
    Thanks&Regards,
    Siva

    Hi Siva,
    Your query is obsolutely acceptable...
    After supportpack update some times database will not be synchronised with the new updates.
    and more over it seems there is a complete issue with SAP side.... there is only one option in u r hand now just restart the system.but please make sure to take the down time...and check whether the correction is working or not..if not then no luck u need to contact SAP global team and ask them why the corrections are not working properly..
    Regards,

  • Different Support Pack Levels

    Hi experts, we are running a federated portal network, between our BI Portal with a ABAP daat source and our EP Portal which is your standard ldap data source. We are looking at implementing ESS MSS or XSS into our portal landscape.
    I understand from SAP that i will need to install SP21 onto our portal systems to get the XSS business packages. But our BI team are dragging there heels about wanting to upgarde the BI Portal. I understand that the xss implementation creates a second node in a federated portal network that you will derive all your content from.
    What are the implications/problems we may have if we upgarde our EP Portal to SP21 but leave our BI Portal on SP19 or 20??
    Will it still work, connectivity wise and RDL wise?? Or will it just corrupt the whole thing???

    The best possible scenario is to have the consumer and all the producer portals on the same version and SP level. However, this might not be possible to maintain at all times in landscapes were you have multiple producer portals.
    Should you have a version difference, the general recommendation is to have your consumer portal at a higher SP level than your producers. All the portals should be on 7.0 version.
    Please see the following link and SAP note 1295662 for  more information on version  Interoperability in FPN:

         procedure "OPEN_FORM" "(FUNCTION)", nor was it propagated by a RAISING clause.
         Since the caller of the procedure could not have anticipated that the
         exception would occur, the current program is terminated.
         The reason for the exception is:
         The program "SAPLSTXC" contains the CALL FUNCTION statement.
         The name of the function module to be called is "POSS_UIREQ_OPT_SUBMIT".
         No function module exists with the name "POSS_UIREQ_OPT_SUBMIT".
         All function modules are listed in the Function Library (SE37).
    Possible reasons:
    a) Wrong name specified. Pay particular attenti
        upper/lower case and underscores ("_").
        or
    b) Transport error
    c) In the case of an enqueue/dequeue module,
        the lock object may not have been activated
        (ABAP/4 Dictionary).
    When i tried to check function module it is not there..
    Could you please help on this?

  • Release 600, Level 11 (support pack SAPKGPAD11) vs Release 604, Level 03 (s

    Hi,
    We are moving into the SAP ECC enviroment and need to understand the difference between the 2 Support Packs Release 600, Level 11 (support pack SAPKGPAD11) vs Release 604, Level 03 (support pack SAPK-60403INEAAPPL).
    Can anyone give us an indication in terms of functionality what we should be looking out for? During the testing we already came across and issue regarding double invoicing but this was fixed with a OSS note.
    From a coding, functionality, intergration and process perspective,how do we know what the differences are? Is there a document that lists these difference as a quick comparison between the two releases.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    There is lot of difference btween 2. ECC System with EHP4 (Release 604 Level 3), ECC package will be on 604 release and level represents the support pack level of 604 release. If your system is on this level then it means that your system is with Enhancement packages but if your ECC components are on release 600 then it is without Enhancement packages.
    Enhancement packages has been delivered a lot of new things like New GL etc. More information for what extra features ECC 6.0 with EHP4 has: can be checked on http://service.sap.com/erp-ehp.
    To take your system from 600 release to 604 release requires a lot of effort because you have to upgrade your system to bring at this release.
    Thanks

    Hello Ragu,
    This kind of scenario is exists in practice.
    Normally I dont see that you will have lot of issue other than the support pack related.
    In my practive, I have BI 7.0 system which is connected to 4.6 system as well as EHP1 system. EHP1 system is recently updagrade but still we can use out BW system normally.
    For all the issues - your regression tests will give more clarity of the kind of issue that you can face.
    For me You need to check whether the RFC is properly maintain and then relicated all the data sources once again followed by activation of transfer structures.
    For more information on this you can also check the forum on the known issues of the respective stack.
    Hope this helps.

  • Basis Support package level of ECC 6.0

    Dear All,
    I use SAP Version ECC 6.0 (700 Kernel, 64bit) Database SQL.
    My question is what should be the support package level of ECC 6.0? SAP recommends for the latest support package level always. But, whether the latest support package level will be stable?
    We are in the blue print stage now, I haven't received any requirement from the fuctionals for the support package upgrade.
    We have modules like, SD, MM, FI, FICO, HR, PS and CS.
    Anyone worked with these modules who can provide me, the particular components related to these modules with the stable support pack level.
    Thanks in Advance,
    Abu Sandeep

    Hi,
    Yes, for a new installation always go for the last support packages.
    After going live, NEVER, NEVER apply support packages without  qualifying them for YOUR company in a test system. It takes a lot of time to do non regression tests but it is mandatory IMHO.
