Technical ERP upgrade and impact on BI/BW

Hi Experts,
is there some documentation with short BI guidelines to follow before, while and after performing an technical upgrade on an connected ERP system?
What problems may occur? What prerequisites should be checked? What content and plug-in releases should match?
Any help is highly appreciated...
Thanks,
Joerg

Hi,
This should be covered in the SAP NetWeaver 7.0 upgrade guide (and its related SAP notes). You can find the guide at http://service.sap.com/upgradenw70.
Cheers,
Mike.

Impact of ERP Upgrade from 4.6C to ECC

Hi All,
What is the impact and variations/additons with Impact of ERP Upgrade from 4.6C to ECC from Varinat configuration side.
BR,
Krishna

hi krishna,
You may loose some of the variants becasue of changes happened during upg for ECC600.I have faced certain problems.
I know in the upgrade there is a phase(RSUVAINT(2) not sure) which does a backup of all variants and restores in the end.

Manager ERP Upgrade project via SolMan PPM ?

Hello
Is it possible to manage ERP upgrade (without EhP) to EhP7 via SolMan PPM (instead project planner tool) ?
Regards
Eric

Hi Eric,
Solution manager is a known Application management solution for Implementation or Upgrades of SAP
infact there is a new feature called EhP scope and effort analyzer which will help to do the entire scoping assessment with impact assessment for the same without even applying on ERP system
yes you read it correctly without even downloading the EhP to your ERP system you can do that now with solman
this is not magic ....check it here

Data Federator data lineage and impact analysis

Hi,
I am looking for the use of data lineage and impact analysis feature in data federator at Universe level.
Can I know which objects are using which fields by uisng impact feature in the data federator.
Thanks in Advance.

I realize this answer is a cop out but I'll suggest it anyway. Upgrade.
I struggled with getting the lineage and impact analysis working in 10.1 and had to do quite a bit of trial and error in the Apache configuration files, DAD's ,etc. because the lineage reports were web based. I never got them working in Production due to other much more pressing implementation issues at the time and never went back to fix them.
In 10.2 and above the reports are much easier to get with no real configuration needed.
Anyway, back to your question, I would suggest going back through the 10.1 documentation on getting those to work and have someone a bit familiar with setting up Apache help you. I did get them working in our Test environment but its been so long I can't recall all the steps and tricks, sorry.

Combined Upgrade and Unicode conversion of Sap 4.6C to ECC6.0

Hello all,
my project team intends to carry out a combined upgrade and unicode conversion of an SAP ERP 4.6C system with MDMP to ECC6.0 (no enhancement package). The system is running on Oracle 10.2.
In preparation for this upgrade, I have gone through the SAP notes 928729, 54801.
We need to get a rough estimate of the entire downtime so as to alert our end users. From the CU&UC documentation in 928729, I read up note 857081. However the program in this note cannot be used to estimate the downtime as my system is < SAP netweaver 6.20.
Is there any other SAP note or tool or program that I can use to estimate the downtime for the entire CU&UC? Thanks a lot!

Hi,
Combined upgrade depend upon number of factors like database size, resources on the server and optimization. In order to get idea of how much downtime, it will take, I would suggest you to do combined upgrade and unicode conversion on sandbox system which should be the replica of your production system. And try to optimize it. From there you can get approx. downtime required.
Also, please read combined upgrade and unicode conversion guides on http://service.sap.com/unicode@sap
Thanks
Sunny

Preparing for upgrade and Unicode conversion while on 4.6c

We're currently on 4.6c and preparing to upgrade to ERP 2005 and do a Unicode conversion. I'm trying to compile a list of coding techniques that can used in 4.6c that will minimize changes needed for Unicode. Does anyone have such a list?
Some things I've discovered reading about Unicode include:
1) Use GUI_UPLOAD and GUI_DOWNLOAD rather than WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD.
2) Structures or table headers that contain non-character data need to be identical when moving, comparing, selecting into, updating from, etc. This includes not moving structures/tables with non-character data to a character field or vice-versa.
3) Offsets can't cross non-character data.
4) Assign statement with offset must specify a length.
5) Open dataset must specify "FOR INPUT", "FOR OUTPUT", "FOR APPENDING", or "FOR UPDATE". It no longer defaults to FOR INPUT when omitted.
6) Many implicit conversions from char to numeric are no longer allowed. Use explicit conversion instead; such as the move statement.
I know there are others. Any help would be appreciated.

Compatibility between SAP ERP upgrade with SAP PI 7.3 sp12

Hi Experts,
Our SAP ERP system getting upgraded to ECC 6.0, ehp 7, SS7 and we need to check its compatibility with the current SAP PI version(7.3 sp09) and its future upgraded version which is sp12.
Would any one kindly help me to track the PI system compatibility with the ERP upgraded version and its adverse effect(if any) on interfaces between PI and ECC system?
Thanks
Navneet.

Hi Navneet
If your PI is already on 7.3, it is compatible with ECC6 EHP7. For more details refer to the SAP note that is mentioned in my reply on the thread below.
Compatibility between PI 7.11 and Ehp7 for ERP6

Where is the Combined Upgrade and Unicode Conversion Guide

Hi All
Embarassing question time.
I am after the Combined Upgrade and Unicode Conversion Guide for 4.7 to ERP 6.0, but can only find the Combined Upgrade and Unicode Conversion Guide for 46C to ERP 6.0.
Can anyone advise where the 4.7 guide is.
Thanks
Sam

Thank God SAP don't include it in the Install guide. The Install Guides are complex already. BTW if you need more info on unicode and its conversion go here

Exchange upgraded and still waiting for faster spe...

I've had around 7mbps from the Brixworth exchange for years. The exchange was upgraded a few months ago. My next door neighbour is with PlusNet and gets around 13mbps; he received a letter from PlusNet straight after the exchange was upgraded and got the higher speed then.
If I apply as a new customer on the BT website it says I will get 13mbps as "BT will always give customers the fastest possible speed". I've tried BT online chat and calling BT support. I get told different incorrect things each time.
Does anyone know when I should expect to get upgraded to get the higher speed now available on the Brixworth exchange?
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks to you both for taking the time to reply.
I've spent another hour on the phone to BT, being bounced between sales ("it's a technical issue") and technical ("its a sales issue"). Nobody understands the issue including: "it's only 6mbps - it's not that much different" and "we only gaurantee 1mbps". Nobody understands that it just needs an engineer to visit the exchange and upgrade me the same as PlusNet did months ago with my next door neighbour.
I give up. I'll wait until by contract expires in October and then transfer both landlines in the house to a provider who actually cares about its customers.
Thanks again for taking time to read and respond.

MySAP ERP Upgrades Symposium...

Hello SDNers,
I've just reading the <b><a href="/people/michael.eacrett/blog/2006/10/23/why-consider-attending-the-asug-mysap-erp-upgrades-symposium Eacrett Blogs</a></b> and i was wondering if there exist any website or place to find information about other dates for this important event....
Do somebody know where can we found this information ?
Thanks Regards,
<i>Luis</i>

Hi Luis,
You can access the content at ASUG.com on the <a href="http://asug.prod.web.sba.com/events/2006upgrades/index.cfm">ASUG past events page</a>.
In my opinion I thought the event was really good with a very interactive discussions between the more than 250 attendees. I also think ASUG might be planning for another symposium on the same topic in Q1 2007. Obviously it depends on the feedback from the November event. Lets hope we get a repeat for those who could not make it the first time.
I hope this helps,
Mike.

ARFC Problem after ERP upgrade

Hello,
We are having problems with ARFCs models after an ERP upgrade to 6.0. It seems that the ERP only receives half of the sent information in the fields. For example in a LIFNR typed field (10 chars) after setting up an external debug we see that the RFC only received the first 5 chars. The old system wasn't unicode and the new one is, I don't know if its related. Anyone had experienced this before?
Best Regards,

> I would like to know how resource Consummation increase from 4.6c to ECC.
Very difficult to impossible to state generally. 4.6c is an ABAP only kernel whereas the Netwaever 7.0 kernel has interfaces to HTTP and SMTP as well as a full internet transaction server integrated. As a rule of thumb one could say you'd need the double the CPU power (in sense of single CPU speed, not number of CPUs) to run at the same speed as your old 4.6c.

What's the output of

on your machine?

Gave away upgrade and not renewing my contract

My son's phone broke and he needed a replacement. He's going on a long trip next week and needed to have a working phone. Well, I was due for an upgrade in November and my contract was up. He was not due until February. I gave him my upgrade so he wouldn't be without a phone. I wasn't aware that if I gave him my upgrade my contract would be renewed because he was getting the new phone not me. Well, now I have a problem. I wasn't going to renew my line. I was going to terminate it. Now I'm stuck with my old phone and his contract still is up in February and he has an upgrade. So technically couldn't he upgrade his phone again or just cancel outright while still having a new phone. Also, if he wanted, he's got a brand new phone with an extra upgrade to use at anytime if he so chooses. The only way I can get out of my contract now is too pay the ETF. This makes no sense to me. Is there anything I can do? We're on the family plan. I have a total of four lines on it. I don't want to upgrade either using his upgrade. That wasn't the plan. Do I have any options or am I just sol?
Thanks in advance !!

well it's your "line" that had the available upgrade and that was renewed, so your phone number will be the one stuck with verizon for the next 2 years. you can swap phone numbers and he can move his phone to your number and use it, and then in february you are free to leave (he will use your current line/number and you take his number to another carrier or just get a new number). otherwise, yes, you are stuck paying the etf if you want to take your phone number and port it to another carrier.

Cant stand the changes to my Maxx HD with the KitKat upgrade, text colors and keyboard terrible. How can I remove the upgrade and go back to what I had?

How can I remove this new Kitkat upgrade and go back to what I had. I cannot deal with the color on text screen and the keyboard is terrible. Can take back all the stupid pictures they added for texting. Just need it back to what it was.

Hasn't any business ever heard of the term.
IF IT AINT BROKE DON'T FIX IT.

I have just updated to iOS7, no icon for browser, was using Safari, how do I get it back and can I reverse the upgrade and go back to iOS6?

I have just updated to iOS7, no icon for browser, was using Safari, how do I get it back and can I reverse the upgrade and go back to iOS6? Thanks to you from the UnTechie

The icon for Safari has probably moved to make room for new apps. Scroll the Home screen to look for it.
You cannot reverse the upgrade.
