Dear All,
For system that is termed complex (e.g. Interface =400, Language=10 ,Custom Object = 20,000, Unicode Conversion - 15,000, DB = 4TB etc) is there a best practice/thumb rule published as to how efforts required for SPDD/SPAU can be estimated ?.
Regards,
NeethHi Neeth,
Yes!! there is best practice for effort estimation. Before that FYI, SPDD/SPAU means stanadard objects adjustments not custom objects.
Iff you want the estimation for SPDD/SPAU first count the Standard repository(SPAU),datadictionary objects(SPDD), for this
1.Run SPDD tcode in your system which ur going to upgrade, it will give the objects, save those objects into excel document, count the objects
2.In the similar way run SPAU tcode, get the object count.
Here in both spdd/spau there will be subcategories,
for SPDD:
With Modification Assistant
Without Modification Assistant
Deleted Objects
for SPAU:
Note Corrections
With Modification Assistant
Without Modification Assistant
Translations
Reset Objects
Deleted Objects
In the both of the above categories no need to take care about
a.Deleted objects
b.Reset objects
Finish the above task, then let me know the object count and given mandays to finish this, then i will assist you accordingly.

Effort estimation (Aufwandschu00E4tzung) for WDA
Hi,
is there any best practice out there how we can calculate a effort estimation for a the development of a WDA application? Any Excel-Tool, anything?
I thought about calculating for every screen (if it contains for example 3 tabstrips i would calculate alltogeather 4 screens) and add some time for the component. But this is by far too vaguely, isn't it?
How do you do this usually?
Thanks in advance.Hi Axel,
the time one needs for developing a Web Dynpro ABAP Application mainly depends on the answers to the following questions:
Are there good enough APIs that can be used for handling most of the business logic required?
How flexible should the application be? Do you need to generate the ui or is it sufficient to have fixed screens?
Can components be used again?
--> Ask your developers, not excel

Hi,
Any pointers to Effort Estimation Tool for ABAP objects.
Please send through email, if you have any such tool available.
Thanks & Regards,
Abhishek JollyHi,
IF it's a report u can estimate it through se30(runtime analysis). U will get percentages in that tool.
u go se30 and enter u r programe or transaction and click 'analyge' button on the bottom.
Reward points if useful.

Best Practice for Portal Patches and effort estimation
Hi ,
One of our client is applying the following patches
1. ECC 6.0 SP15(currently SP14)
2. ESS MSS SP15(currently SP14 with some level of functional customization )
3. EP 7 SP18(currently SP14)
We would like to kwow the best practice for applying portal patches and the effort estimation for redoing the portal devt on the new patch.
o What is the overall level of effort with applying Portal patches?
o How are all the changes to SAP objects handle? Do they have to be
manually re-entered?
o What is the impact of having a single NWDI instance across the
Portal Landscape during the Patch process?
Regards,
Revathi Raju.Hi Revathi,
o What is the overall level of effort with applying Portal patches?
overall effort to apply the patch is apprx 1/2-1 days for NW7 system. This is exclude the patch files download because it's based on your download speed.
o How are all the changes to SAP objects handle? Do they have to be
manually re-entered?
Depending on your customization. Normally it wont effect if you created the customzation application apart from SAP standard application
o What is the impact of having a single NWDI instance across the
Portal Landscape during the Patch process?
Any change that related to NWDI, you might be need to re-deployed from NWDI itself.
Thanks

Effort estimation for upgrading Sap Net weaver 7.0 to EHP2 SP6
HI,
We have BI 7.0 on SAP Netweaver 7.0, we want to upgrade it ot EHP2 SP6.
Current patch level is 16 & oracle 10.2.2.0 database.
Can anyone tell me how much the time effort is needed.
my customer wants an effort estimation for upgrading EHP2.
please give me some bried idea about this acitivity.
Regards,
Maqsood> I would like to have details information with respective to time effort estimation during EHP2 upgrade process as below

> 1. initialization -1. what system dos in this phase - 2. how much time system takes - 3. impact on server ( like availabel or not available)
> 2. extraction - . what system dos in this phase - 2. how much time system takes - 3. impact on server ( like availabel or not available)

> 6. dowtime -. what system dos in this phase - 2. how much time system takes - 3. impact on server ( like availabel or not available). In general how much downtime system takes during this phase.
> 7. postprocessing -. what system dos in this phase - 2. how much time system takes - 3. impact on server ( like availabel or not available)
> 8. Finalization -. what system dos in this phase - 2. how much time system takes - 3. impact on server ( like availabel or not available)
Nobody can tell you any time values. This depends on the used hardware, the speed of the underlying I/O subsystem, the number of processes you use, the speed of the server, number of languages etc. etc.
1 - 5 is done online, nobody will notice because all the work is done in a shadow instance .Downtime says it all and 7 and 8 are postprocessing work.
To try that do a copy of the production to a sandbox and play with the values and see yourself how much time you need.

I would like to understand if you have experience with P2V pricing.
Example: How much do I need to spend to get my one Physical Machine converted to Virtual Machine.
I have my ESXi environment, P2V tools are already in place.
Looking for rough figure along with efforts(Man Days) needed
Below are areas I foresee of Effort Estimation
Activity Man Hrs/Server
Data Collection (Inventory)
Application Compatibility
Utilization
Capacity Planning Per Server(CPU,RAM,DisksSpace)
Conversion from Physical to Virtual using Conversion Tool
Post Build testing (Stress test, UAT)
Operational Acceptance
Build ESXi Host

Migration Effort estimation.
Hi All,
Now days we are getting a lot of enquiries regarding the migration of SharePoint 2007 to SharePoint 2013 from Customers. Biggest challenge I am facing in migration is, the cost of migration.
We are using the Content DB upgrade approach for Migration.
Do anyone know any free tool that can help me in migration efforts estimation?
Regards Restless SpiritIt will help but you might end up in errors if you have lots of customizations. so I would say the best approach is
migrate VIA SP 2010 and then to SP 2013 from SP 2007. you need to plan in such a way that migration application/database by application. should perform no of dry runs in the test envionments and find out what are the potentiall issues and making note of
them.etc. by direct approach you will not have issues interms of data loss and customization and metadata, effort is more but it will be good and smooth, where as with quest or any other third party tool cannot not say you will have smooth migration
depends on my past experience with it.

Tool for electricity/energy hedges
Hi,
Our company is looking for a tool that can be able to manage the recording, tracking and anlytical reporting of electricity hedges, is SAP Treasury and Risk Management the right SAP module for us? Or are there any other SAP partner products available that are more suited to this requirement?
Essentially,if SAP-TRM is the right tool for us, would there be any additional licensing costs that we need to worry about assuming we already have our ECC6 full licenses?
And for those who have implemented SAP-TRM (focused on hedging), can you share a rough stab of the cost (how much duration) to implement it?
Thanks everyone and I hope you can get me answers to my questions.
Regards,
AloyHi Aloy,
from enhancement package 4 (EhP4) for ECC6 you can use functionality of commodities hedging in SAP-TRM. So far I know, there is also a solution for commodities in Sales and Distribution (SD) module.
I think there are no additional licencing cost for enhancement packages, if you already have ECC6, but better you check this information with your local SAP sales agent. They could also help you with cost estimation for implementation or to find out reference companies.

Effort estimation of developments
Hi all,
Could anyone please provide me with some inputs or documents/ templates on Effort estimation of developments in ABAP??
I have done the initial analysis, but not sure what should be the base of measuring the complexity and time for an object?
How an object can be further divided and the total time be measured?
Also please let me know about the marginal timings and all...
Thanks in advance,
AnshumitaHi
First the know the complexity of the object.
Based on complexity only we can estimate the hours.
Generally for
simple - 5-6 days
Medium : 8-9 days
Complex : 15-18 days
This can vary from company to company.
Guidelines for complexity :
Tables,Transactions involved that is the scracth development or any developed object there for reference like that.
