Technical changes between 4.6c & ECC6.0

Hi All,
Presently we are working on SAP R/3 4.6c system and client is trying to upgrade to ECC 6.0.
As per the Technical part is concerned does the 4.6c data needs any modifications to work in ECC6.0 ?
If yes then plz let me know what are the technical changes that are to be made to run the 4.6C data in ECC6.0.
Its an urgent issue so plz kindly reply asap.
I'm not able to link to the website service.sap.com. plz give me the alternative steps

Santhosh,
Its not that straight forward. You will have to consider the following points.
1. Are you going to have Unicode instance?
2. If yes, then your entire custom code will have to be unicode compatiable.
3. Some of the BDC's might not work, as the screen would have undergone changes in the new version.
4. For this, you will have to look at the BDC's and see if any of the can be converted to use the standard BAPI's or rewrite the BDC's if the existing ones are not working.
5. Apart from this the BASIS person will have to take care of making the database also Unicode compatible.

Technical difference between ECC5.0 and ECC6.0

Hi everyone,
Can anybody tell me whats is the Technical difference between ECC5.0 and ECC6.0.
I am doing upgrade from ECC5.0 to ECC6.0 in Retail.
Regards,
Divya

Dear Divya,
When it is a technical upgrade from a lower version to ECC6.0, many objects like includes, Function modules, reports, OSS notes, DDIC objects, BDC/Print programs, SAP scripts, screens will get affected due to the upgradation. So we need to check with all these objects.
u2022 We will encounter short dumps while executing certain programs. This may be due to the usage of obsolete function modules or Unicode errors.
u2022 The BDCs in the upgraded version will become defective as many of its screen field names will be changed during version change.
u2022 Program texts of many programs will be lost. They have to be restored.
u2022 In case of tables, enhancement category has to be provided.
u2022 There is a possibility of losing the variants during upgradation. So care should be taken to retain them before upgradation.
u2022 ECC6.0 is case sensitive, so many of the interface programs will fail to transfer (FTP) files between systems. These objects have to be changed so that the commands passed to the external system be UPPERCASE.
So a developer should be aware of the following:
u2022Unicode programming is followed in ECC6.0. So we need to be aware of it to rectify certain Unicode errors which are likely to occur.
u2022You have to run the transactions SPAU & SPDD to check for list of standard & custom objects that needs modification in the upgraded version.
Check the below link to find more details on usage of SPAU & SPDD transactions
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/60/d6ba7bceda11d1953a0000e82de14a/content.htm
u2022Should be aware of the objects that have become obsolete in ECC6.0. They have to be replaced by appropriate ones.For eg.:
--> The WS_* function modules have been replaced by GUI_* FMs in ECC6.0 as WS_* FMs have become obsolete from 4.7
-->Tables like TVARV & TTREX have been replaced by TVARVC & TTREXN respectively in ECC6.0.
u2022In case of tables, we need to specify the Enhancement category.
u2022Due to upgradation, we will lose out some variants. So we should take a back-up before proceeding with the upgradation.
u2022In case of BDC programs, some field names will be changed. So they have to be named appropriately.

Technical upgarde from ECC5 to ECC6 EHP4

Dear All,
We are having technical upgarde from ECC5 to ECC6 EHP4. I have have some queries as client what need to be check after upgarde.When golive cahke is done what are check list apar from system is up and running.
Please sugegst

SAP offers a pre-golive check before actual go-live by logging into your system and doing some important checks as per the requirement for technical or functional go-live check...
So, you want SAP to do pre-golive check, just open up the connection between SAP and your sap system, at the same time, a connection from Solman to SAP too..maintaining the connection details in secure area
You have to open a message in component XX-SER-TCC to find out if your installation is scheduled for a Go-Live check which is conducted by SAP and itu2019s partners.
Go-Live Functional Upgrade Analysis u2013 ideally 6 months before Golive u2013 basically checks your hardware requirement , will it be able to accommodate the increase in the functionalities caused by the Go-Live, also some parameter recommendations to fine-tune your system.
Go-Live Functional Upgrade Verification u2013 This is normally 2 months after the Go-live which is to see eu2019thing is fine after the upgrade.
Then you have normal Earlywatch session , each installation is entitled for 2 free earlywatch session in a year, in this performance tuning is done for your system, hardware,memory, I/0 bottlenecks are identified.
Reports of all these sessions carried out by SAP is then sent to you in form a MS-Word document and you can follow the guidelines mentioned and call up SAP or mail the person who has done the session for you for any clarifications.
Usually once a session is scheduled.
SAP will contact you to open the connections for them, so that they can prepare the system before the actual session takes place , in which they see , if SDCC version is good enough so that they can download the data from your system into their internal system on which they carry out the analysis

Technical difference between SRW2008P-K9-EU SRW2008P-K9-AU

we are planning to buy 8 port POE switches, but from the market we foud the following models are available. one is costly and the other one is less costly. cheaper.
SRW2008P-K9-EU is the costly model.
SRW2008P-K9-AU is the less cost model.
but we are worried if we buy SRW2008P-K9-AU what is the complications we are going to get.
so we would like to know the technical differences between SRW2008P-K9-EU and SRW2008P-K9-AU. can any one pl support on this.
in india we work on 230V, 50Hz. so we would also like to know whether SRW2008P-K9-AU will work in our place or not.
thanks

Dear Daniele,
thanks for the reply. if this is the only difference, then we can change the powerr cord to suit to indian standard. will there be any other difference.
as per the above i can go with
SRW2008P-K9-AU and it will work same as
SRW2008P-K9-EU.
please confirm. thanks

Excel activex call changes between Office 2000 and Office XP. How does one manage that?

I have several Active X calls from within a VI. One in particular is
the Excel Cell Value property node in Office 2000. MS has decided to
call it Excel Cell Value2 in Office XP.
I have built and exe on a machine with Office 2000 and can run the code
on a machine with Office XP, but I can not build on the machine with
Office XP. I can also run a VI with that call
on the Office XP box, but if I mass compile the VI I get the broken arrow.
I guess I am confuesed as to why it can run but not compile. If the
ActiveX call is not there for the compile why is it there for the run?
If I can expect this does it work in reverse where I
build on an Office XP box and run on a Office 2000 box?

These problems you are experiencing do stem from the ActiveX changes between Excel versions. When you mass compile LabVIEW checks to see if everything is linked correctly, including ActiveX portions of your code. Since there are slight changes the LabVIEW compiler detects something is wrong, but cannot isolate the problem. You might need to force a recompile of that VI. Check out this link.

How to track changes between documents

We are trying to find ways to track/compare changes between two or more versions of an InDesign document. We need to be able to store these version changes in a master version tracking document. We know InDesign can track text changes in a story but we need to know more than that, like graphic or style changes. Is there a plugin out there that can compare two versions of an InDesign document and list/print out the differences? Acrobat has this feature but we haven't found this for InDesign. Any suggestions?

Hello,
I hesitated to post the plugins because my company is the publisher of one of them.
You will find them all at:
http://www.pluginsworld.com/
Search for BlackLining from EMS, CtrlChanges from Ctrl Publishing and EditMarks BlackLining from Kerntiff Publishing Systems.
We are responsible for EditMarks.
As I said we do not track changes to objects.
All the best.

What is the exact technical difference between "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" and "Lightning to USB Cable"

Mainly I am interested in attaching the iPhone to a receiver (or car etc.) to play music.
Both the "Lightning to USB Cable" and the "Lightning to USB Camera Adapter" seem to do the trick. So what is the exact technical difference between the two items?
When connected to a receiver, is the iPhone the USB Master in both cases? Is the USB "Audio Device Class" standard used to transmit audio?

Thanks for all the answers! I think I should specify the use case much more clearly. Sorry for not having done this earlier.
Use Case 1:
When I connect the iPhone to the receiver I can use the Lightning to USB, because the receiver has a female type A, just like e.g. a PC or like the charger. So I would agree that the Receiver must be the USB host, and the iPhone the USB device. This works just fine in my case, with iPhone and iPad.
In this case, the audio goes from the device to the host, or "Audio-in".
Use Case 2:
A friend of mine has a small device that converts USB to Toslink. This thing has a female Mini USB Type A, which is typically used at the receiving side of a USB connection. This device can be connected e.g. to a Mac, and then the Mac can output audio via this device to receiver which accepts optical Toslink signals.
In this case, the audio goes from the host to the device, or "Audio-out".
It is this use case 2 that I am unsure about:
a) Can the Lightning to USB cable be used in this case (assuming that I find the necessary non-standard adapters to actually connect the USB ports)? This would mean that the iPhone can act as a USB host with the Lightning to USB cable.
b) I know that the Lightning to USB Camera Adapter does convert the iPad into an USB host, otherwise it could not read data from a camera. So could this adapter also be used to produce "Audio out" to a USB device that supports receiving music?
If yes, would this also work with an iPhone (as pointed out in another answer, the iPhone does nor support reading pictures from a camera)?

SRKIM: R12: Technical Changes in Payments from 11i to R12

PURPOSE
R12 에서의 payment 관련 view 및 table의 변경된 내용에 대해 알아 보도록 한다.
ANSWER
1. R11i 에서 사용되던 AP_CHECK_STOCKS_ACTIVE_V
해당 view 는 R11i 에서 development 가 coding 의 편의를 위해 추가 해 놓았던 view 로 AP_PAY_SINGLE_INVOICE_PKG package 에서만 참조 하도록 design 되어 있었다.
active bank account/scheck stock combinations 에 대해 check 하기 위해 사용되던 이 view 는 R12 에서는 더 이상 존재 하지 않는다.
해당 ivew 를 참조 하던 pckage 역시 logic 이 변경 되었고 CE_PAYMENT_DOCUMENTS 가 대신 제공 되고 있다. 그러나 CE_PAYMENT_DOCUMENTS 는 기존의 AP_CHECK_STOCKS_ACTIVE_V 와는 차이가 있고 제공 되는 데이타가 다르기 때문에 기존 VIEW 를 참조 하여 CUSTOM PROGRAM 을 개발 하였던 고객사에서는 PROGRAM 을 수정 하거나 CUSTOM VIEW 를 생성 해야 할 것 으로 보여진다.
2. 11i 의 global accounting engine tables 이었던 XLA_AE_HEADERS 와 XLA_AE_LINES 는 어떻게 되고 payments accounting 정보는 어디에 저장 되는가.
11i에서 ap accountings 정보는 invoice 건 payments 건 모두 AP_AE_HEADERS 와 AP_AE_LINES tables 에 저장 되고 Global Accounting engine (AX) 을 사용 할 경우만 accounting data 가 XLA_AE_HEADERS 와 XLA_AE_LINES 에 저장 되었으나 R12 에서는 Subledger Accounting 정보는 모두 XLA_AE_HEADERS 와 XLA_AE_LINES 에 저장 된다.
AX 는 더이상 별개의 모듈로 존재 하지 않는다.

Is there a way to find all config changes between clients and sap system

We have our Dev system with clients
310 - Developer make changes and create transport
400 - Test client
410 - a copy of our Production system (over 1 year ago0
TST - this is our quality system with one client
101
Production system one client
101
I know if i do a database copy from Production to our TST system, both systems would be exact.
Abaper Director wants to know all the configuration changes that are different between Devopment client 310 - Test and production.
I told him that in development client 310 the abaper or functional users make most of the changes if they do not get transported they would be missing.
I cannot copy to client 310 otherwise we would loose all of our version management.
Is there another way that I can see the config changes between all these clients.
Thanks
Joe

DM3.0 EA2: Filter engineering changes between logical and relational model

Hi,
when I am engineering changes between logial and relational model there are some issues at filter handling for me:
- When the filter "Show Modified Objects" is activated, the filter works only on the first level, e.g. on Entity level. On attribute level all attributes are displayed, not only the attributes which have really been modified. It is possible, to show on every level only the really modified objects?
- I think, selecting a Filter condition is circuitous. All filter conditions except "Show All Objects" keeps activated when I choose another condition. So I have to deactivate "Show Deleted Objects" when I want to see only the modified objects. It is possible to choose another control element for filtering, e.g. disjunctive radio buttons?
I am running Data Modeler on Windows XP with german localization and the JDK 1.6.0_11 from Oracle SQL Developer.

Change between mono- and stereo-sound

My question is if there is any way to change between mono and stereo sound on the ipod nano 3th generation...?
Thanks for help!

Are you not getting stereo? What are you listening with - maybe there's a plug problem...
Does it sound like stereo from iTunes?

Networking changes between Solaris 10 x86 10/08 (u6) and previous versions?

Solaris Community:
We have a J2SE CORBA-based application (that uses the default Sun ORB) that has run without problems on Solaris 8, 9, and 10 on both SPARC and, more recently, X86 platforms. Upgrading our client side machine (X4100 M2 Opteron platform) from Solaris 10 x86 5/08 (u5) to Solaris 10 x86 10/08 (u6) has resulted in threading or socket contention issues that we have not experienced previously. Using Live Upgrade, we can quickly go back to the u5 install on the client machine .... and the problems go away .... going back to u6, however, and the problems begin to show almost immediately. Our Java code base is identical as is the version of the JDK (1.5.0_16), so it would appear that there must be an underlying change to socket, networking, or threading behavior between these two versions of Solaris.
Thus far, I've not been unable to find details of changes either in the networking support or the threading model that might explain this .... or course, I don't have great expertise in these areas.
I've tried to use 'ndd /dev/tcp SOME_PARAMETER' for all of the /dev/tcp parameters returned by 'ndd /dev/tcp \?' to try to see if there are underlying changes in the /dev/tcp parameters .... but have not found any differences between Solaris 10 u5 and u6.
Can anyone point me to resources that would discuss changes between Solaris 10 u5 or u6 that might explain the problems that we've encountered? Or, alternatively, other system parameters that I could check that might explain changes in either TCP socket or threading behavior?
Thanks for your input,
John

I have a vague memory of someone reporting something similar which turned out to be due to a solaris feature called tcp_fusion.
To check whether thats your problem or not try the following.
Add following line in the /etc/system file.
set ip:do_tcp_fusion = 0
Once the /etc/system file is updated, it will be necessary to restart the system before the workaround will take effect.

Functional and technical comparisons between JDE version A 7.3 and A 9.3

Hi,
We need to convert the modules already written/designed in JDE v A 7.3 to JDE v 9.3.
So I need to discuss with you people the functional/technical comparisons between these two versions.
I have gone through these links to know something:

Windows on Intel Macs
There are presently several alternatives for running Windows on Intel Macs.
1. Install the Apple Boot Camp software. Purchase Windows XP w/Service Pak2, Vista, or Windows 7. Follow instructions in the Boot Camp documentation on installation of Boot Camp, creating Driver CD, and installing Windows. Boot Camp enables you to boot the computer into OS X or Windows.
2. Parallels Desktop for Mac and Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. Parallels is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
3. VM Fusionand Windows XP, Vista Business, Vista Ultimate, or Windows 7. VM Fusion is software virtualization that enables running Windows concurrently with OS X.
4. CrossOver which enables running many Windows applications without having to install Windows. The Windows applications can run concurrently with OS X.
5. VirtualBox is a new Open Source freeware virtual machine such as VM Fusion and Parallels that was developed by Solaris. It is not as fully developed for the Mac as Parallels and VM Fusion.
Note that Parallels and VM Fusion can also run other operating systems such as Linux, Unix, OS/2, Solaris, etc. There are performance differences between dual-boot systems and virtualization. The latter tend to be a little slower (not much) and do not provide the video performance of the dual-boot system. See MacTech.com's Virtualization Benchmarking for comparisons of Boot Camp, Parallels, and VM Fusion. Boot Camp is only available with Leopard or Snow Leopard. Except for Crossover and a couple of similar alternatives like DarWine you must have a valid installer disc for Windows.
You must also have an internal optical drive for installing Windows. Windows cannot be installed from an external optical drive.

Are there any technical Differences between stanard R3 and ISU

Hello everyone,
I have recently been speaking to a client who is running ISU. They are asking for assistance with thier landscape from a technical perspective (BASIS and DB). i.e. monitoring db growth, reorgs, etc.
Now, I have been working in BASIS for over 10 years now, and am very comfortable with the above rols. My question however is - are there any "technical" differences between the standard SAP system, and ISU? or are the differences mainly seen on the functional side?
Thank you very much for any insight any of you can provide.
Kind regards
Richard Rog

Hi Richard,
I have been a Basis administrator for IS-U/CCS systems for 7 years. The points Juris made are correct.
There are no new transactions or procedures for maintaining and monitoring an ISU system. ISU "sits" on top of R/3. The main ISU transaction for customer contact CIC0 has an HTML component that needs an ITS server. In a 4.6C system you will need to maintain an external ITS. In ECC 6.0 you will have an integrated ITS. The main difference from a Basis perspective is support pack application.
In 4.6C ISU is an add-in installed in SAINT. There are conflict resolution support packages (CRT's) that are installed at the same time the SAP_APPL support packages are applied. In fact SPAM recognizes the ISU add-in and won't let you upgrade APPL (and sometimes Basis) support packs without the CRT's.
In ECC 6.0 IS-U isn't an add-in any more and has it's own support packs in module IS-UT. IS-U must be turned on though during an installation or upgrade. This is done in SPRO with "Activate Business Funcitons".
