Upgrade 4.7 to ECC 6.0 : Batch input

Hello,
We have an upgrade project from R3 4.7 to ECC 6.0.
I'm looking for information regarding SAP technical advise for interfaces, data update, data creation.
We use batch input. Does this technic still available in ECC 6.0 ? Should we use Idoc, BAPI ?
I need also some advise regarding performance, monitoring...
Are transactions like MB01, VL01 still available ?

Hi Gilles,
batch input in ECC60 stil available
please look at the online dokumnetation:
http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_03/helpdata/EN/37/a9b0588c884843a1e489ea450a2fef/frameset.htm

SAP R/3 System analysis before upgrade 4.6C -- SAP ECC 6.0

Hello!
Before the upgrade from R/3 4.6C to ECC 6.0 I would like to execute SAP R/3 system analysis.
The following functions should be included in this program:
- detailed analysis of system modifications (effort driver and risk factor during an Upgrade)
- comparison against a SAP ERP 6.0 reference system
- extension SAP tools, including RBE and conflict lists (SPAU/SPDD)
- syntax analysis of program code with respect of adjustement need
- quality control of own development
- control of amount of transports within different company areas
- control of user information, such a user type, logon date, etc.
- basic control, whether a sufficient authorization concept is available
- Identification of objects that should be considered for the archiving in oder to decrease the db-size
My question are:
- which tasks can be convered with SAP standard transactions what are the names of the transactions?
- which effort do I investigate for these tasks?
Thank you very much!
regards

Dear Thom,
To know the functionality changes u can refer http://solutionbrowser.erp.sap.fmpmedia.com/
http://www.sap.com/solutions/business-suite/erp/pdf/BWP_ERP2006_Upgrade.pdf
http://service.sap.com/releasenotes and http://service.sap.com/upgrade for functional changes.
Need to consider the following things:
For Reportsits custom developed program so unless there is any kind of change in requirement from the client regarding the layoutnothing needs to be changedI think it will work fine in ECC 6.0 toexcept few things may needs to be changed..so you need to discuss whether they want the reorts as it is right nowor want to change the layout (adding some new info/fields etc) of any reportso u need to modify the program for thoseand estimate accordinglyfor a medium complexitys Report dev it takes approx 9 pd (FRSTDSCoding+Unit Testing)so to modify it will be less than that (depending upon the scope of changes)
Now say for Batch Inputs(interface/Data Migration) using BDCyou need to see how many BDCs are thereagain if the field lengths and layouts are not changingthen no need to change anything (except the main thing..you need to change the obsolete function modulesthere are some in 4.6 c like for data upload ws_upload_*** is there 4.6C but obsolete in ECC6.0there are some new with enhanced functionality so you need to modify the BDCsand many cases it happens that the whole transaction screen changes for processin that case better to develop new BDCsso you have to consider those parameterlook into and estimate accordinglymodifying a BDC should not take more than 1 PD
Now say for Formsthere was no Smart form in 4.6Cform printer was there..though the same option is there in ECC 6.0 too..but better to go for/should go for Smart formin that caseits complete new devso estimate accordinglya medium complexitys form should take 8 PD (FRSTDSCoding+Unit Testing)you can take it as 10 PD tooeven if client wants to keep it is as it was in older versionyou have to redevelop the layout in ECC 6.0 againas form printer is even client dependentmaximum you can copy the program associated with that form in the new version tooand your effort will be savedagain you have to consider if clients wants to change the layout too
Now for enhancementso in that case u need to see individual casesfor a medium complexity enhancement it should take max 15 PD (FRSTDSCoding+Unit Testing)
One more important thing is that the Unicode Compatibilitythis needs to be done.needs to change the code (variable name) accordingly.also Version management tool is used for the standard programs
Also pls find the following forums:

Upgrade batch inputs from 4.6C to mySAP ERP 2005

Hi,
we are planning to upgrade from 4.6C to mySAP ERP 2005 (ECC 6.0). We are using batch input/call transaction in various (interface) programs (primarily in modules SD, MM, CS/SM, FI, CO). I would be grateful for any information that helps to estimate the effort to upgrade our batch input code. In which areas/modules/transactions did you encounter problems with batch inputs? How severe were these problems (one or two fields moved to another screen, or major redesign)? How did you address these problems (change BI or convert code to use BAPI)?
Thank you
Thomas

Hi thomas,
we were working on batch input's and our scenario is something like convertion of bdc's from 4.5b to ECC5. well, it was a long process of upgradation. and coming to the part of BDC's
Q) any information that helps to estimate the effort to upgrade our batch input code.
   we had 300 BDC's to convert from 4.5b to ECC5 and with a ten member team of ABAP experts it took us 30 working days to complete the process.
Q) In which areas/modules/transactions did you encounter problems with batch inputs?
   Mostly, we had problems from FI and something like in Revenue recognition process. The problems comes, when the whole transactions screens changes for the process. at this time we have to write completly a new BDC's. if we have right functional specifications and functional experts, it will be easy to convert BDC's.
Q) How severe were these problems (one or two fields moved to another screen, or major redesign)?
    As i have mentioned, out of 300 almost 25 to 50 were minor changes rest were huge changes. a completely new BDC's. the point here is, we were updating from 4.5b to ECC5. it might not be this scenario for 4.6c to ECC5
Q) How did you address these problems (change BI or convert code to use BAPI)?
   well, this is were we are curently working now. and curently there are 4 scenarios (and may be more in the future) were we have to replace three BDC's which are used for material master creation and make it into one bapi satisfying all the conditions of BDC's. actually, we have to find a BAPI( which i couldn't find) so, i have created a bapi. and tougher part is writing exceptions as we cannot write exceptions as we do in function module.
hope this is relavent to what you have asked.
cheers

Recommandations for upgrading from 46C to ECC 6.0

Hello
Our SAP system landscape is actually in 46c and is only composed of 3 servers with almost 40 users declared (25 actives) on production system. Modules FI/CO HR MM are actually implemented.
We plan to upgrade the system to ECC 6.0 between March and August of 2009. The evaluation of the upgrade should begin as soon as possible. Do you think it can be possible to realise the upgrade alone, without the help and expertise of a SAP consultant? Do you think the delay for preparing the upgrade is suffisant?
Thank you.

As suggested earlier, refer to Master and technological guides for reference.
also for information, the upgrade can fall under any below scenarios.
1. Strategic Business Improvement
Focus on functionality extension and improvement
Enablement of new and optimized business processes and scenarios based on new ERP core functionality
2. Functional/Retrofit Upgrade
New functionality to be implemented as part of the upgrade, modification clearing
Focus on reduction of system complexity
3. Technical Upgrade
Focus on pure technology upgrade
Retain functionality used
Review Usage of custom developments
As per the requirement. knowledge and experience the decision can be made.

SAP Security Upgrade 4.6C to ECC 6.0

Hello Gurus,
we are upgrading our systems to ECC 6.0 from 4.6C.
in SU25 step, do i need to manually go into every role and find the differences in Field values ?
there are more than 2500 roles and its becoming tedious task.
Is there any easy or other procedure available for the same ?
Regards,
Chaitanya

There are many tricks you can use to shave a role upgrade down to about 2 day's work, but day 1 is during the implementation design way back when to consider upgrades much later on...
Just knowing that you have 18k roles and 2500 turned red in step 2a is not enough infos to give you any efficient advice (I am not talking about your time... ;-).
What is however obvious is that between 2a and 2c there is 2... ah...?!?! That is your next closest catalyst, but dont hit the "accept SAP data" button unless you have not done any changes in SU24!
Some other key figures for upgrades are:
- Number of roles with distinctly different menus.
- Number of changed auths which are not copies.
- Number of manual auths needing manual adjustments.
- Obsolete and disabled objects.
- Security patches for unnoticed missing auth-checks.
- Cut-over, development freeze and parallel maintenance time period.
Cheers,
Julius

Upgraded our system from ECC 6 to 6.04 (EHP4).

Dear All,
We have upgraded our system from ECC 6 to 6.04 (EHP4).
There are many request in old development server which are in local request now .
We want to transport those requests to new development server which is upgraded one.
Can any one let me know is there any standard way of transporting these requests from old Development system (6)to new one(6.04).
Thanks
Anuradha

Hi Sahil,
Looks like latest EHP installer concentrate more on downtime minimize strategy. We have only 3 options available as follows.
1. Standard resource use
2. High resource use
3. Manual selection
Please take a look at below thread. Let's see what other experts comment on this.

Batch-input for exporting cost calculation to a local file (ecc 6.0)

Hi,
we had a batch-input to export some data in a local file (excel format) in SAP 4.5B.
We recorded transaction CK11 for a material number, we got Itemization screen and then we recorded menu' option "List . Export . Local file / Spreadsheet). If the batch-input ran in foreground it would produce required outputs (some excel files).
Now we are migrating from 4.5B version to Ecc6.0; we recorded same transaction (both ck11 and ck11n, to be more ), but at execution time the window for local file saving never is displayed and B.I. stops with error.
One difference is that now data are collected into a container, instead that in a write list ...

Hi again,
the data i look for is a result of calculation of different tables so for every single product, it is calculated. In standart CO reports, there is no such report that give me that detail.
Finally i managed to call print OK code, but it was in the foreground processing mode, i cannot run it on backround processing..
I know i misuse the LSMW, but i think LSMW may have such flexibility to use such reports, thanks to SAP.. it was an adhoc report i tried to combine, so writing a program may be much more time consuming.

Batch input in ECC 6.0 for data collation reports?

Hello all,
Is anyone using IS-OIL (OGSD) in ECC6.0? I have heard that the technology for posting data collation reports is no longer based on batch input technology but I couldn't find any information on it, neither in the release notes. Does anyone know whether this is true?
Kind regards,
Klemens

Hi Satya,
Still I am getting the same error. I am using IE 7.0 browser. In my service I have the following parameters in SE80 as well as in the SAP GUI Config in SICF.
~ITSMOBILE 1
~THEME 99
~TRANSACTION LM00
I have published the complete service and it published successfully to INTERNAL site.
My custom service is active in SICF.
When I test the service, IE can not display the page.
Do we need to activate any other standard service?
Or Do we need to set some additional parameters to the service?
Do I need to make any special settings in the IE 7.0?
Your input will be highly appreciated.

Subbu

No batch input data for screen SAPLCOIH 3000

We have recently upgraged to ECC 6.0 and since having above error. The program runs via a Job on daily basis. When I record via SHDB and execute I dont get this error. has this got something to do with ECC 6.0 or is it when run in background a field becomes mandatory?

Hi Chennakiran,
We also upgraded to ECC 6.0 recently and I had the same problem.
Batch inputs which runs properly in further version doesn´t now. I can't really explain why it happens, but I know the solution.
The solution is:
when you make the call transaction with bdc_data..use also the addition
OPTIONS FROM opt
where opt has the structure CTU_PARAMS.
then before calling transaction...make this:
opt-nobinpt = 'X'
This will run the transaction as batch input, but with no batch input action. I tried this out...and this solve my problem. Without this flag, the programm run seemes to be diferent when runnning as batch input.
Hope this solves your problem.
Regards,
Marcelo Moreira
P.S.: Reward points are welcome.

RFBIBL00 No Batch Input Created after Executing

Hello,
After Executing SAP standard report - RFBIBL00, no batch input session has been created in SM35 in ECC 6.0 version. There is no error message but one message displayed as 'PRODPER not transferred.'

First the issue was in the input file.
Second Number of lines was more and in the report it was set less.
Third in check only there will no Batch Input session generates.
Fourth to create input file use SAP standard procedure i.e sxda_tools.
Note : From ECC, SAP not supporting Batch Input Method.

Capturing Batch Input Log without keeping BDC session

Hi all -
Would like to capture the Batch Input log and keep it persistent in some manner (for example using an application log) without keeping the corresponding BDC session. The reason for this is that any manual corrections to data interfaces through BDC sessions MUST be logged indefinitely for audit purposes. The actual BDC sessions are HUGE and therefore precludes saving the entire BDC session. My thoughts are user-exit'ing in BDC session either as a Batch Input Log is being created or when a Session is being deleted (NOTE: running ECC 6.0 which has new enhancement concept permitting extremely flexible user-exit'ing so exit points are NOT an issue and repair/core mode not required). Anyone see any flaws with this approach or can recommend perhaps a simpler or standard approach so that Batch Input Logs are retained indefinitely whereas the Session is deleted?
Many thanks,
Pat

Hi Pat,
Why dont you try archiving?
For archiving, archive object BDCLOGPROD can be used. if archived, then you can read the archived logs using program RSBDC_ARCHREAD (also accessible from SARA->Read).
See some notes if it is helpful:
147354, 18319, 24438, 18307
Also have a look at the Data Management Guide available at service.sap.com/data-archiving.
Hope this helps,

Ok-code to scroll down in a table control on batch input

Hello,
I'm trying to create a batch input session for transaction VA02 (Change sales order) :
I need to go scroll down in the table control of the screen (item -> Conditions) 3 times to delete the a line; In the batch input (SHDB), i go scroll down by clicking on the scroll bar of the table control, mark the line of the page and delete it.
The recording show me the ok-code /00 to scroll down (with BDC_CURSOR in the second line), but in the program it don't work, the ok do nothing the 3 times and mark the incorrect line.
Can anyone tell an idea of what is the correct ok-code to scroll down?
Thanks in advance
Alvaro
PD: My SAP system is an ECC 6.0

Hi Alvaro
One time i had to do similar work for Creation of General Task List in PM module and this is how i did it
                         'X'      'SAPLCMDI'             '3500',
                         ' '      'BDC_CURSOR'          'RIHSTPX-DISP(01)',
                         ' '      'BDC_OKCODE'          '=P+',
                         ' '      'RIHSTPX-IDNRK(01)'    itab-idnrk,
                         ' '      'RIHSTPX-MENGE(01)'    itab-menge,
                         ' '      'RIHSTPX-MEINS(01)'    itab-meins,
                         ' '      'RIHSTPX-DISP(01)'     itab-disp.
I had to select line 1 hence you can see the position number ( 01 ) in the field name. As you can see based on this positioning you can select the appropriate line and make modifications as you like and also use okcode of '=P+' to scroll done. Hope this helps. Reward if appropriate.
