Upgradation from SAP CRM 5.0 GUI/PCUI to SAP CRM Ehp3

Hi Experts,
We have a requirement to upgrade SAP CRM 5.0 to SAP CRM Ehp3.
We can do the technical adjustment by using tcode SPDD and SPAU.
But how we can migrate from SAP GUI and PCUI screens to SAP WebUi screens ?
Please tell me all the upgradation steps and challenges to upgrade from GUI/PCUI screens to Webui.
Thanks & Regards,
Akhilesh Bhagat.

It's a tedious manual process to re-implement all your customizations over to the Webclient. I will say if you were good and kept business logic in BADI's then all you need to worry about is screen customizations. If not and you were like many folks, you are going to have to recode everything.
I did this about five years ago from CRM 4.0 to CRM 5.2(the first CRM release with webclient) and if you look at the content under my profile with way older blogs, you can find some of my commentary on doing this.
For EHP3, you need to learn/love/embrace the AET. You are also going to need to learn the SAP Web Client stuff ASAP. The great part for you is SAP offer classes or there is a book or two on it. You don't have to learn it from lean documentation like I did.
I disagree with the system reimplementation comment. There is no need to throw out your CRM instance. That's why we have upgrades. Keep your system, but reimplement the code in the SAP Web Client Logic. The great part is since you are coming from 5.0 -> EHP3 it's going to be like having a new CRM system again, as all the parts that need to be enhanced don't exist in your 5.0 box and that section of the upgrade system will look like a brand new system(at least that's how my 5.2 box looked like coming form 4.0).
Take care,
Stephen

Upgrading from Iseries 810 (v5r2) to Iseries 520(v5r4) sap 4.6c

We're upgrading our ISeries 810(v5r2) to Iseries 520(v5r4).
WE did a save 21.

ALl userprf - configuration - libraries - dlo - authority all were restored.
New kernel library (2291).
When we go to start SAP on iseries (v5r4) it starts and quickly ends.
WE have no logs - nothing gets created.
Please Help
Where's the problem
Thanks

Hi Joseph,
unfortunately based on this information, it is not really possible to solve your issue. In my eyes, it will be necessary to logon and check on the issue.

Upgrade from XI 3.0 (SP17) to PI 7.0 (SP12): Best Practices

Hi mates,
I've a few questions regarding the upgrade to PI 7.0.
If the upgrade process is done in phased manner i.e. DEV, QA, PRD in that order over a period of 3 weeks,
How do we handle the transports from DEV->QA->PRD when DEV is 7.0 and QA & PRD on 3.0 using CMS?
Will there be inconsistencies when transports are moved, because a few features could be different or internal representation of IR/ID content could be different in 3.0 & 7.0?
What are the upgrade best practices, phased manner or all at a time?
Please throw more light on this. I appreciate the inputs from people who've helped clients upgrade from 3.0 to 7.0. Any SAP documentation related to this?
I looked at the thread Transports from XI 3.0 to PI 7.0 but the answert is very generic, w/o any supporting documentation and real time experience.
thx in adv

Im my experience you should implement a change freeze for this period, with the exception of emergency transports - and these have to be justified.
> Will there be inconsistencies when transports are

Full regression testing will be needed on each interface. If you implement a change freeze this process becomes easier

Allow plenty of resources to fully test every interface, as you would with any upgrade.
You could also take the time to implement the new <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80bbbd55-5004-2a10-f181-8bb096923cb6">CTS+</a> for this new version to avoid any further transport issues (PI7.0 SP12 +). A new method for a new system!
Also, how is your SLD set up for XI? This can have an impact.

Issues to be aware of when upgrading from SP1 to SP7

Dear All,
We are planning to upgrade from SP1 to SP7 of Microsoft version of SAP BPC.
Are there any major pitfalls that we should be aware of with this upgrade?
Is SP7 a stable release?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

RE: SP5 - I have been running SP5 since November. Overall it has worked well with two exceptions: It is not compatible with Japanese Windows (Fixed in SP6 onward, by enabling use of a new XceedZip version 6.5). I have a manual workaround for this which works for infrequent dimension refreshes and a low number of Japanese users to support. Also the SendGovernor fails to restart after just about every reboot (Resolved with an SSIS package that checks the status of the SendGovernor, and restarts it if it is turned off).
I am looking to SP7 so would like to hear others comments as well.

Issue with SAP GUI 7.30 launching with users upgrading from 7.10

We started rolling out SAP 7.30 GUI Final 7300.3.7.117 out to people, and we've ran into this error with people who had upgraded from SAP GUI 7.10.
Our environmental variable uses saplogon.ini (SAPLOGON_INI_FILE) and points to c:\windows\saplogon.ini
I don't know why the program is trying to search for saplogontree.xml.
I've tried uninstalling, rebooting, reinstalling. Deleting some of the %appdata% SAP folders.
I need some guidance as people who upgraded from GUI 7.20 do not run into this issue.

This popup would make sense Jason,as the path C:\Windows\SapLogonTree.xml would not be a valid path to this file.
Really, 7.10 should not have been used at all as an upgrade path as this had finished support in 2009
If you have a small number of users with 7.10, it's recommend to remove it via add/remove programs in the OS, then install a clean 7.30 gui.
The environment variable should not point to C:\Windows\ at all since this is a restricted folder in
Windows Vista and higher, and will only cause further trouble later on in the updates

Upgrade from CRM 4.0 Mobile Components to SAP CRM 7.0

Hi CRM guru's
I am a SAP BASIS consultant. New to CRM. I have a few queries for which i require help.
1) Is it possible to upgrade CRM 4.0 Mobile Components to SAP CRM 7.0 platform?
2) What is the approach used to upgrading a CRM 4.0 Mobile Components to SAP CRM 7.0 platform?
3) Are there any constraints in upgrading CRM 4.0 Mobile Components to SAP CRM 7.0 platform?
4) What would be the impact of such upgrade on current applications and processes?
5) Is it a straight forward technical upgrade or would involve technical tweaking to align it to CRM 7.0 mobile platform?
6) What would be the Pros and Cons of going for such upgrade?
Also,
1 )What is the use of the code migration tool in CRM mobile upgrade, whether it can covert the VB6 to .Net
2) What effort involved in the migration
3) Complexity in support pack upgrade from sp6 to sp7 in CRM 4.0 mobile( Please let me know whether the technology changed from VB to .Net in this support pack upgrade). CRM mobile Repository Server can be upgraded from 4.0 to 7.0 directly.

Hi Sriram,
Mobile component changed to .Net in 5.0 so the first upgrade of support packages should not be a problem. Your only concern will be the rollout of the support package upgrade to the users in the field.
I don't know much about the upgrade from 4.0 to 7.0 and the complications around the custom code migration from vb to .net. I imagine this is something you may need to talk to SAP about.
Depending on the amount of work involved it may be easy to upgrade the CRM system and do a re-implementation of the mobile component.
Good luck.
Cheers
Andrew

Impact of upgrade from SAP CRM Interaction Center 4.0 to 5.0 on Genesys CTI

Hi Friends,
I would like to know that what is the impact of upgrade from SAP CRM Interaction Center 4.0 to 5.0 on Genesys CTI software.
1) Will there be anything we need to change?
 for e.g.
 a) Settings
 b) Software
 c) Hardware
2) What do we need to keep in mind when upgrading from SAP CRM Interaction Center 4.0 to 5.0?

Hello!
The biggest change you must face is related to Java. If you had CRM4.0 Java configuration, you must change your settings to the non-java configuration CRM5.0 has. Most of those changes are performed by the upgrade program, but you must activate services in transaction SCIF.
Your other concerns:
- Software: Most of the Genesys releases are compatible with both java and non java configurations. Anyway, I am sure Genesys has compatibility instructions.
- Hardware: No changes to my knowledge
Hope it helps. Please, reward points if so
Regards
Joaquin

Upgrade from CRM 4.0 sp6 to CRM 2007

We are in the process of upgrading our sandpit from CRM 4.0 sp 6 to CRM 2007 as part of an overall CRM upgrade project. The technical upgrade phase went fine we now have the sandpit running some of the standard delieved business roles etc. My question is with respect to my original customizing:
- what customizing/configuration needs to be redone
- what needs to be adjusted.
- what is no longer relevant
Is there any documentation out there that deals with addressing this topic. Can anyone share their experiences.
We have a number of different Web based interaction centers some dealing with order taking in place in our original installation.
Thanks in advance
Eddie

Eddie,
The rule of thumb is the following:
- All UI based modifications/configurations/enhancements done in the lower release, must be redone in the new release. Classic example is you removed fields from a screen or added new fields. You also lose all your UI work done in CRM 40.
- All non-UI based config/development that is in the business layer of the system should be fine, and may need some minor adjustments, but you should be able to keep this. You probably though will have to redo some of your IC config as there were functional changes between releases. I don't think however you will find that the configuration adjustments to take a lot of time
- The old PCUI/IC webclient and SAP GUI applications(for data entry) are no longer relevant.
Take care,
Stephen

Upgrade from CRM 5.0 to 7.0 not possible ?

Hello CRM-experts,
yesterday I was on presentation of CRM IC-helpdesk, and the mentor
explained that there is no upgrade-strategy from sap for the crm 5.0 to 7.0.
Is that true ? Ins't it possible to upgrade my crm 5.0 SP11 to crm 7.0 ? (included with mobile sales ?)
We use crm-online (quotations, orders) and mobile sales .
Thanks for response,
Gerd

Gerd,
That is wrong about the upgrade path, your SAP rep and Kai mis-understand what no-direct CRM upgrade path means.
Here is the deal:
If you are using CRM 5.0 with the SAP GUI/PCUI/IC webclient based applications then your upgrade migration is the following:
1. Technical upgrade of CRM 5 to CRM 7.0
2. Manual conversion of SAP GUI/PCUI/IC webclient enhancements from CRM 5 to the CRM 7.0 webclient UI. This only applies to the UI enhancements, and most of your backend BADI's provided they did not violate any CRM enhancement concepts will still work.
If you review the PAM at http://service.sap.com/pam or read the upgrade guide on service marketplace you will see this is the case. It even states on the PAM that CRM 5.0 is a source release for the upgrade to CRM 7.0. There is no need to go to CRM 2007(6.0) first.
Honestly there is not a "huge difference" between CRM 2007 & CRM 7.0 except that CRM 7.0 is a refinement of CRM 2007.
Take care,
Stephen

How to create new field while upgrading from CRM 4.0 to 7.0

Hi ,
How do we create new field on UI and store data into existing field in database?
Is there any option in AET to skip the creation of new field in the database table ?
Custom field is already created in GUI and database table while using CRM 4.0
Now, after upgrading to 7.0 EHP3 , I need to bring this field on the UI .
Using AET may create new field again in the database table.Please suggest.
New filed needed to be created in Marketing Campaign Element Header data.
Thanks
Jayasri

Hi Jayasri,
As a custom fields are already there in crm 4.0. You don't need to use AET again to add field.
These enhancements still exist after the upgrade. Dependent on the enhancement object and type some manual steps are necessary.
For example regarding a single field enhancement for the BP the whole framework is enhanced after the upgrade. There is only one manual step to bring the field on the relevant view(s) via the UI Configuration Tool. For whole BP tables some more manual steps are necessary, these steps are described in the note 1069791 - CRM WebClient UI for EEW enhancements (reference to more notes regarding the EEW after the upgrade).
For set types, we need to generate UI With the help of the UI configuration tool the settypes could become visible in the Web UI.
I didn't understood your scenario, can add little more information why you want to add field by AET if available in DB?

Upgrade from CIC0 to CRM IC Web - is NetWeaver XI required?

Hi,
I have a customer who is looking to move their processes from the customer interaction centre (CIC0) in the SAP GUI to the CRM 2007 IC WebClient. They have upgraded to ECC 6.0, but do not have NetWeaver in place today, so they have asked whether this is required for the implementation of CRM. Do I correctly assume that the CRM middleware concept has not changed (ie it still uses BDocs) with CRM 2007? Also, can you please confirm whether XI required for them to move to the CRM 2007 IC WebClient?
Thanks
Janine

Hi Janine,
Yes. There is no change in the CRM Middleware concepts in CRM 2007. There is no need for an XI for using the CRM Webclient.

Problem with Billing Engine after upgrade from CRM 5.0 to CRM 7.0

Hello together,
The system of our customer has been upgraded from CRM 5.0 to CRM 7.0. After that some problems occurred regarded the billing.
In the Billing Due List a dump occurs when clicking on an item and then on conditions
Dump message: No function module can be found named "/1BEA/CRMB_DL_PAR_O_DERIVE" however.
(Other classes are new generated after the upgrade)
During the Analysis we looked to the billing engine navigator:
In the Billing Engine Navigator (Transaction: BEFN_F1) the Generation Log shows the following:
We have re-generated the Object PAR in CRMB->DL->Feature->PAR. But this shows the above displayed error message. How can we add value to the Placeholder?
Another question is which impacts does it have if we regenerate the complete billing engine for CRMB with transaction BEA_CONFIG_F1 (Configure Application)?
BR, Anne

Hi Nawanit,
we checked the key figure settings and categories. Everything is maintained correctly.
Since we work with MRP areas we also checked the "Global Parameters and Default Values for MRP Areas" in APO Customizing: The "Default values for Stock Transfer Documents" is set to "1" = Stock Transport Requisitions for MRP Areas.
BUT: When I try ot change this indicator I get the following message no. /SAPAPO/MRPA000:
"Process. w. stock transp. requisitions is not supported in standard sys. The process with stock transport requisitions will be supported as of SAP R/3 Enterprise Core Release 4.70 with SAP R/3 Enterprise Extension Set 2.0. ".
As far as we work with ECC 6.0, EHP4 this message makes no sense.
Does anyone have another idea?
Thanks
Jan

I am having a custom crm B2B application built on java and struts, and a standard application.My sap BASIS team upgraded backend components from crm 5.0 to 7.0.Now they asked me to change the ear file. I don't know what to change and just asked them to deploy the old ear file using SDM.They deployed it using SDM.Though standard application is working proper,custom application is not working.So,what changes should I do now to make custom application work.And I don't have NWDI,what ever I want to do I have to do with NWDS.
