Technical Upgarde of SRM5 to SRM7

Hi All,
We need to upgrade our SRM system from SRM5 to SRM7 only technical upgrade.
I want to know the below things incase of Technical upgrade from SRM5 to SRM7.
1. What are aspects to be identified from the ABAPer point iof view.
2. List of ABAP Objects involved in the upgradation process
3. High level overview of Technical upgarde
If anyone have any documents or links on the Technical Upgrade of SRM5 to SRM7 system,
please reply to the thread.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Hi,
1. What are aspects to be identified from the ABAPer point iof view. - SRM 7.0 uses lot of new technologies for example ABAP Webdynpro, OOPS based PDO architecture layer, Meta data for filed and action control, process controlled workflow, portal..etc. You should consider these.
2. List of ABAP Objects involved in the upgradation process
Not sure if I understand the question. may be you should explain it a bit more.
3. High level overview of Technical upgarde
Please refer to upgrade master guide at
<<https://websmp209.sap-ag.de/~sapdownload/012002523100012366712008E/HELPX_UPGRADE_MASTER_GUIDE.pdf>>

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
Regards,
Kumar

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

BW 3.5 upgrade to BW 7.3

Dear Expert :
We also have a plan to updrade BW 3.5 to BW 7.3. I have following questions need you kindly sharing your experience.
We will plan to perform Technical upgrade from BW 3.5 to BW 7.3, After that we will migrate BW 3.5 Object to BW 7.3 native mode.
Thanks !!
1. If we do Technical upgarde from BW 3.5 to BW 7.3 first , after that we will migrate all BW 3.X object to BW 7.3 Native mode.
    For data extraction, Can we keep original Delta extract status ? or we will loss delta status and need to do initial extract
    again for delta datasource.
2. For data load performance, dose it will improve that if we migrate to 7.3 Mode or It didn't have big improve for BW 3.x mode
     and BW 7.3 native mode?
3. For Query report performance, dose it will improve that if we migrate to 7.3 Mode or keep in 3.x mode?
Need your kindly input and Thanks first.

Dear Expert :
We Plan to Migration BW 3.X object to BW 7.3 Native mode Object ? Do someone know that is there any migration tool can be used ? As I knew that SAP 7.x have migration function for 3.x update rule object. does it could be workable ? or we need to re-coding ABAP code for tranformation?
Need your kindly share your experience . Thanks!!

Advise on Migration project

Hi,
I have recently completed BI 7.0 training and have the opportunity to move into a upgrade project (don't know whether it is R/3 or BW upgrade yet) to get my first BI project exposure. I am not sure what all should I check before joining the project so that I can better utlise my time in some other implementation project in case this is not an ideal choice.
Please can you advise in which case it is better - R/3 upgrade or BI upgrade in terms of getting more hands-on experience in BI and also whether a upgrade project is at all advisable as the first project. I checked some other posts and it appears that in case of R/3 upgrade there is not much work required at the BI end. Is it true ? I have lots of experience in ABAP and so want to get exposure in this new technology.
Tx,
R

Why not...this is going to be a great experience ( and since this is your first project, everything is an experience for you). Also, whether it R3 or BI, learning is going to be there for sure...

TPM_MIGRATION post customizing steps

Hi Gurus,
As part of the technical upgarde project we have run the tpm_migration in ECC 6 sandbox environment from version from 4.6c. We use securities, OTC and FX. We'll keep the single valuation area as it was used before in earlier version.
We tryed entering the first transaction and received the error message:
"No position management procedure could by found in Customizing for position CoCd:XX ValArea:YY ValCls:ZZZ" (TPM_TRL005)
What kind of additional customizing is required - we are not familiar with position management what is it for?
Thanks

Hi,
There should be few standard PMPs provided by SAP. You can use those standard or make a copy of the standard and use it. This should be done in Define Position Managment Procedure. Further in PMP you can define different valuation settings required for each treasury insturment as well.
For Eg: If your position mangement category belongs to OTC Money Markets you can use standard PMPs - 2500, and make any changes reqd in the valuation settings.
The important point is that if your transaction belongs to a liability position, you have to set the PMP also with Liability Position mangment.

Not able to Login to Punchout Catalogs from SRM 7 portal

Hi Experts,
We are upgrading from SRM5.0 to SRM7.0.
We have 2 development boxes each for SRM5 and SRM7.
The problem is Vendor Pucnhout URLs are not opening from SRM7 portal. It opens the login screen asking userid/password.
I have compared the IMG activity (Define External Web Services (Catalogs, Vendor Lists etc.)) (The maintenance screen for general product catalog data ) . The User id and password are set same in SRM5 and SRM7.
When I apply the userid/password (that is set under IMG) on the punchout site opened from portal, then the vendors site is not accepting it.
Do we need to have different userid/password to make punchout catalogs working from SRM7?
if yes, how can that be done?
Thanks,
Chandu

The punchout URLs are working after enabling third party cookies.
Path for IE is
Tools-> Internet options-> Privacy-> Settings-Advanced -> Third_party Cookies-accept
Firefox
Tools-> Options-> Privacy->Accept Third Party Cookies

SAP BW 3.5 to 7.3 upgradation (Authorizations)

Dear Gurus,
We are upgrading one of our BW system from 3.5 to 7.3 and I was asked to take care of the authorizations part. But the catch is I never dealt with authorzations and luckily with the help of experts at SDN i have got a very good amount of inputs.
My current situation is i was asked to prepare a document for this portion of the project. I am not having any template document to go ahead. A template and general In Scope and Out of Scope bullet points(with respect to authorizations) would help me in a great way to accomplish my goal.
Thank you in advance for your kind help.

3. For Query report performance, dose it will improve that if we migrate to 7.3 Mode or keep in 3.x mode?
4. Our BW system have a lot of data, dose it will impact the tecn upgrade time? Data volumn will impace system tech upgrade time or not? We need to estimate system down time for tech upgrade.
5. For BW 7.3 authorization, It is total difference with Bw 3.5. After Technical upgrade, what do we need to change for authorization? Do you have any document for me to reference ?
Need your kindly input and Thanks first.

SRM 7 technical challenges while coding

Hi Gurus,
Could you all please share the technical challenges of coding in ABAP in SRM 7. What are the differences or challenges while coding between srm 5 and 7. Please share I would like to have the inputs.

Hello,
Till SRM5.0, SRM Application developer should know JAVA and ABAP to code or to enhance functionalities in SRM. But in SRM7.0, the entire enhancements can be accomplished by using ABAP. All he/she has to know is ABAP and ABAP WebDynrpo and the SRM 7.0 Architecture.
Hope this will help you.

Custom fields not display in SRM5.5 Basic Data Frame

Hello Everybody,
      I am working on SRM5.5 Server which i have to add two custom fields in Basic Data Frame..
     No field is display in basic data frame After I added those fields in INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF_SC and INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF.
    I added these fields by help of 672960 OSS notes..
   Add also when i execute the program BBP_DYNPROS_GENERATE where I entered the program name as SAPLBBP_PDH_CUF and execute but non of them is working fine..
Is there anything else do i need to display custom fields in basic data frame??
I have one more question..
When you logon through SAPGUI and goto BBPSC01 t.code where you see lots of fields in basic data frame such as unloading point and all.. But those all fields does not display when you logon through WebURL..
I checked is there any BAdi such CUF or Screenvarient or some Badi has been actived but non of the Badi has been implemented..
To display all the fields which are display in GUI Mode also should display in URL..
To bring this functionality , What do i need to do?
I appreciate if you answer these questions..
Thanks,
John.

Hi Disha,
We are trying to add custom fields to the Shopping Cart Header. We are using SRM 5.0. We added the fields to the structures "INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF_SC" & "INCL_EEW_PD_HEADER_CSF". We are able to see the custom fields. But the issue is , we are able to see the custom fields in the Shopping Cart one step shop scenario. Whereas when we run the wizard which is a 3 step scenario, we are not able to see the custom fields.
Technically speaking, the custom fields are visible for the ITS BBPSC01 & BBPSC03 , where as these custom fields are not visible for the ITS BBPSC02.
Please let me know, if we need to append the fields to some other structure to be able to see them in the Shopping cart wizard also.
I will be gald to provide any kind of info.
Thanks in advance...

Creating a pdf from technical suite

Hello. Is anyone having issues creating a pdf file using Technical Suite? I've recently upgraded from FM9 to the suite and everytime I try to pdf a file or book - Frame crashes. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
Could you pelase add some more information, as it is difficult to predict solution with little info.
--> Anyways, I will give it a shot with a few assumptions, as you said you upgarded to FM9, does you book/Doc created in previous FM release is crashing??
Can you create a Dummy Doc in FM9 and try creating PDF.
--> Can you open you existing Book in Fm9 and then select all documents and open them indiviadually, with Fm, this way Fm upgardes each document to the current release.
then save the book and cos, and the proceed with generating PDF.
Thanks,
Anjaneai

Hi friends help me i am going to work upgarde project

Hi friends help me i am going to work upgarde project from old version to ECC 6.0
wat are all the problem u face while working upgarde project please me .... as soon as possible
Advanced thanks
Regards,
Nithya.R

Hi Nithya,
In case of technical upgrade you should work on
SPAU (Support package adjustments) -
SPDD (Support package Data Dictionary)
If you have applied any OSS notes to objects in your system, the hot package may overwrite these objects.
SPAU (repository objects), will identify any objects where the hot package is overwriting changes you have made through OSS notes.
You must check all objects identified in SPAU and decide whether you need to reapply the OSS note or reset the code to the original SAP Code.
If, for instance, you are applying hot package 34, SPAU identifies an object where you have applied an OSS note. You must check the OSSs note and see if SAP have fixed that note in a hot package.
If the OSS note has been fixed in hot package 34, then you should reset the object to its original source code. This means that there is no repair flag set against this object again and it is now SAP standard code.
If, however, the object is not fixed until hot package 38, or there is no fix available you have to reapply the OSS note, otherwise users will encounter the problems they had before the note was applied.
You must transport all reapplied notes and Reset to SAP Standard objects after you apply your hot package to your QAS and PRD systems.
Then comes the Zobjects. you have to check them using the TCode Uccheck.
You have to unicode enable all zprograms.
Correct the syntax errors related to this
Replace obsolete function modules like Upload,Download,WS_upload,Ws_download,...
with out changing the old functionality.

Introduction:
SAP PPS1.0 is an addon to SAP SRM5.0 addressing requirements of public sector procurement. SAP SRM is used as functional frontend to support the main procurement processes:
Public tendering
Awarding
Contract negotiation
Purchase order creation
SAP PPS1.0 has been designed to work in the extended classic scenario, where SAP ERP 2004 functions as backend supporting the processes:
Sales Order processing
Purchase Requisition processing
Goods Receipt processing
Invoice Receipt processing
Main Features:
PPS 1.0 features a couple of unique functions designed for the needs of public sector customers, namely:
Document Builder Integration
Records Management Integration
Smart document numbering
Funds Management integration
Acceptance at Origin
Central Contractor Registration (CCR)
Contract Tracking and Monitoring
Close Out Execution
Enhanced Versioning
FPDS Reporting
Guaranteed Minimum
Maximum Quantity per Period
Public Sector User Status
Reason Codes for Document Changes
Smart numbering of procurement documents
Selective Release
Sourcing Priorization
In the next couple of blog posts I want to describe the different features and give some guidelines for the implementation of the functionality.
What Next?
I plan to start with the smart numbering which is called as well "long procurement number"

N-step process driven workflow in SRM7

I am trying to develop a custom n-step workflow in SRM7. To begin with I thought I would copy the standard Spending Limit n-step set up, get it working and then adapt the code. When I set up my process schema with SAP standard evaluation ID 0EV_SC_SL2 ("n-Level Output Limit Approval Process") and Resp. Resolver name RR_SPENDING_LIMIT_APPROVER in debugging the flow is this:
1. CREATE_PROCESS_LEVEL_CONFIG code executes, builds table with 2 approvers
2. CREATE_PROCESS_LEVEL_CONFIG code executes again, builds (same) table with 2 approvers
3. Method PREV_APPROVAL_LIMIT executes, exits with CATCH since previous approver not found
4. Method PREV_APPROVAL_LIMIT executes, finds the previous approver and returns his approval limit, which is not sufficient to approve the cart.
5. Method PREV_APPROVAL_LIMIT executes, finds the previous approver and returns his approval limit, which is sufficient to approve the cart
6. We get an approval with 2 approvers.
However, when I replace the Resp. Resolver name with my own Z resolver which points to the CREATE_PROCESS_LEVEL_CONFIG code I have copied from the equivalent RR_SPENDING_LIMIT_APPROVER code the flow is this:
1. CREATE_PROCESS_LEVEL_CONFIG code executes, builds table with 2 approvers
2. CREATE_PROCESS_LEVEL_CONFIG code executes again, builds (same) table with 2 approvers
3. Method PREV_APPROVAL_LIMIT executes, exits with CATCH since previous approver not found
...so far so good, exactly like SAP standard, but then...
4. CREATE_PROCESS_LEVEL_CONFIG code executes again, builds (same) table with 2 approvers
5. Method PREV_APPROVAL_LIMIT executes, exits with CATCH since previous approver not found
6. Points 4 & 5 repeat over and over in a loop.
So the method PREV_APPROVAL_LIMIT never succeeds in finding a previous approver since the process seems to start from the beginning again each time none is found.
So my question is this - what is it with my Z Resp. Resolver name that makes the system return to the process level config method each time the previous approver cannot be found when SAP standard does not produce this behaviour?

Hi all,
I am trying to build a dynamic workflow (similar to what I did with n-step BADI in SRM5), I think I need to use the 'CREATE_PROCESS_LEVEL_CONFIG' but not sure what I beed to do really - a bit new to BRF...
I have a bespoke 'engine' for determining the recipients and their sequence / level, which I can retrieve by way of an FM, but I do not know then what to do with the returned table..
Any ideas ?
Martin can you let me know how I can get hold of acopy of your document please ?

UCS B series IOM firmware upgarde.

Dear Experts;
We have one BUG in our UCS B series server as below link.
https://tools.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCue49366/?reffering_site=dumpcr
The work around is to do the IOM firmware upgarde.
As teher are several Firmware are associated with the UCS system how to knwo the dependency and how to know which firmware is compatible with the uCS server.
Please assist me to get teh proper IOM firmware .I opened one TAC and they are telling TAC doesn't support this we have to contact cisco AS team and we don't have cisco AS team contract.
Regards
Debashis

Dear Walter;
Really appreciated your expert technical advice.
I have one small question as below if you can answer it..
As per the existing setup..
This UCS system is connected with the EMC storage Model:VMAX-1SE Version:5876.
We have no idea if UCS firmware version 2.1(3c) is compatible with the MC storage Model:VMAX-1SE Version:5876..
I have opened the TAC and also went through the Compatibility matrix where it mentioned as attached and to conatct EMC vendor.
We opened case with EMC they are telling contact Cisco and Cisco TAC telling contact EMC.
IS there any way we can know this?
Note as per the attachment:
5. Direct Connect FC/FCoE topologies are supported with this array.
6. Non-default adapter settings are typically required by storage vendors and found on their support list.
7.Multiple array and switch models supported with UCS by the storage vendor are on their support list.
12.iSCSI Boot is supported Both Appliance and Uplink ports are supported unless otherwise noted.
26. Supported for NFS/CIFS access via appliance ports on the Fabric Interconnect
