Upgrade a Business package that is customized.

Hi Gurus,
We have implemented the CPRXRPM_UI and Business Package for Project, Portfolio Management and Design Collaboration (PPMDC) on SAP Netweaver Portal.
We copied some of the iviews and pages that we wanted, into our own custom roles.
Now, is it a good practice to do this? And also, what happens when we upgrade? Does SAP upgrade its iviews and pages assigned to our custom roles too? If yes, is there any naming conventions that we need to follow? If we dont want the custom views to be upgraded, can we change the namespace to our own domain names?
And also since these iviews point to WD applications in CPRXRPM_UI, would their functionality change depending upon changes to the upgraded code?
Please advise.
What happens in other business packages upgrades? I did look around, but couldnt get the right 'search' query
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Well, it depends on the method you used to copy the content (iViews, Pages, Roles...). If you copied the content by delta link, your content will be upgraded but if you copied (standard copy) it then it won't.
EDIT : here's a quote from the documentation :
In both scenarios the advantages of the delta link method become apparent:
If the source object is reimported into the portal at a later time with changes to its contents,
these changes appear automatically in all the derived target objects.

Is it dangerous to upgrade not all packages that are available...

Is it dangerous to upgrade not all the packages that are available for upgrade?
May it crash something which is not easy/possible to fix without reinstalling the whole system?

Mr. Alex wrote:What if I haven't upgrade Arch for 2 years and after this time I upgrade only kernel. Can it cause any system damage/instability?
If you are asking such questions Arch is most likely not the answer. And yes, user space programs might be too old for the new kernel or pacman might just not work in the first place due to other changes on our side.

CS5 upgrade says on packaging that CS5 Design Standard is a qualifying product, but the installer will not complete the upgrade. How do I get the the installer to complete the upgrade?

When I enter the license key for a CS5 Design Standard Upgrade on a Mac with CS5 Design Standard installed and licensed, the installer says that there are no qualifying products installed to be upgraded.
The packing for the upgrade states that CS5 Design Standard is a qualifying product. How to I get the upgrade to install?

It does seem rather like that. However, the box copy of CS5DS Upg that I am holding also states that "you must have one of the following: Adobe Creative Suite 5 - Design Standard" on the packaging.
If I am trying to upgrade CS5DS with CS5DS, it is partly because Adobe is suggesting that it makes sense to upgrade to an identical product. Hence my confusion when the install failed.

ESS Business Packages Migration from Ehp3 to Ehp4 with Custom Changes

Hello All,
We are using ECC 6.0 With Ehp3 and We have the following versions of ESS and MSS Business Packages Installed.
SAP_ESS 603 SP4
SAP_MSS 600 SP15
We have NWDI server also installed in this and made some Customizations in ESS Webdynpro Java based applications.
We have freshly installed a new portal development server with Netweaver 7.0 Ehp1 to cleanup unneccessary stuffs in our existing development portal server and pointed to the upgraded backend ECC 6.0 Ehp4.
The NWDI also installed freshly in the new server.
While upgrading, following Business Packages versions are recommended by SAP.
SAP_ESS 603 SP6
MSS 600 SP17
PCUI_GP 603 Sp 06
Now in the New portal server every applications works fine as delivered Out of the box and we are missing all the Webdynpro Java customizations which we have made as part of the Ehp3 based ESS Implementation.
We are in the process of Creating the New track in the New NW 7.0 Ehp1 server and import the .SCA files.
My Question is how can we get the automatic migration process, so that the Webdynpro Java Customizations which we have done in the Previous track in Ehp3 with different ESS SP level can be carry forwarded to our New NWDI Server.
How can we go ahead?. We are thinking of the following options and your suggestions are highly appreciated.
1. Import the .SCA files related to Ehp4 and do the Webdynpro Java changes manually again in the DCs of Newly created track    in the New NWDI server.
2. Is there a way to migrate a Track from One Server to another NWDI server with the Custom changes carry forwarded.
What are all the possible ways to achieve track migration to the new server with custom changes carry forwarded.
Appreciate your valuable inputs in this.
Thanks and Regards,
Sekar

Hi Sekar,
There is a cook book provided by SAP as attachment of note 872892. you can follow the process to have your custom DC's migrated to new Support pack of ESS/MSS.

SAP_ESS Business Package Upgrade

Hi All,
Can you guide for steps needed to upgrade SAP_ESS business package from SAP_ESS 600 to SAP_ESS 603?
Is it simpley done through JSPM or some different Tool?
Will the SAP_ESS 600 PCD contents will ge overwritten by new components? as we have some custom codes.
Can both version work in Parallel in same system?
Thanks
Lakshmi

Hi,
Check the link for creating track:
How to Migrate Developed Software Components to a New Release in NWDI
And to answer your question:
1. You need to create a New Track
2. Ensure all the dependent components are compatible with ESS 603
    Check the link to find out the compatible versions http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/HOWTOGETRIDOFSPSTACKMISMATCHISSUES
3. All of your custom developments will be in a custom software Component(SC)
   (a) In this case in the Old Track go the SC where you have all of your custom developments
   (b) In the Consolidation Tab of the Old Track select the SC and do an export.
   (c) In the new Track define SC with the latest Dependent Components
   (d) In the cms/inbox keep the exported SCA file from step (b)
   (e) After the import of the file you have your custom developments in the new track.
4. If you have modified the code from the standard ESS application, after the upgrade the changes will go.
5. You need to do the code changes manually to all the Standard Component changes.
Revert back if you have any questions.
Hope this helps.
Cheers-
Pramod

Business Package for SAP Best Practices for Enterprise Portal

Hi,
We are implementing EP for ECC 5.0 and we have to web enable some FI transactions like FB50/fb60 etc. We want to use standard business package for this. The only business package that caters this requirement is "Business Package for SAP Best Practices for Enterprise Portal 60.1". When i checked the data source for this business package, the specification is for "SAP R/3 4.6B and above". Does this work for ECC 5.0 as well? In general does the R/3 specific business packages work for ECC versions? Please let me know. Thanks for the help. I promise rewards.
Regards
Hari

Hari,
When you download the BPO via Portal Content Portfolio,
each bpo has additional information on the release.
For example for the one you are inquiring about - Business Package for SAP Best Practices for Enterprise Portal, the additional release information is provided on the following links;

Creating a Business Package for multiple Target Audiences

Hi,
I want to create a business package that will be certified later. The required target audiences are Line Managers and Specialists. From what I understand, a business package must be assigned to one of the following: Every User, Managers, or Specialists. I take this to mean that we must create two separate Business packages if we want to support both Line Managers AND Specialists. Is this correct?
Thanks,

Hi Kenneth,
the formal requirements in fact are "the business package must be located in one of the folders specified below. The user type assigned to the business package (Every User, Line Manager, or Specialist) during registration determines your choice."
Anyhow, the certification is a process which primarily cares about correct namespaces, namespace usage etc. So if from your point of view the business package only makes sense to be distributed as one package, just decide which of the terms in question will make most sense. Then put your complete content under this area.
Hope it helps

Documentation on Business Package iViews w/ associated tcodes

Is there one source of documentation for all business packages that exists where we can look up if a business package iView is associated directly to a tcode in a back-end system (i.e. ECC, SRM, etc.)?

The only source of documentation I can think of is the Package documentation link available under SDN > Portal > Portal Content Portfolio.
Hope this helps.

Hi
For ESS upgrade R/3 is advised by SAP.
We advise that if you are already on ERP2004 and moving the ESS packages then EA-HR, SAPESS, SAPMSS, SAPPCUI should be upgraded for getting the optimum functionality from ESS.
There are lot many additions in the functionalities.
The basic point is BP is just the gui layer the contents and applications still depends on BAPIS RFCS lying in R/3.
So Always a comparision of ESS With EA_HR is advised.

Customizing business package

Hi,
I have a doubt regarding customizing the business package. we have downloaded and installed a business package. now i want to change some worksets and pages. so I made a local copy of all the worksets, roles, pages, iviews into my name space.
now, say i want to add a workset "XyZ" to a role campaignmanager, which came with business package. as i have copied them and pasted as delta link in my local workspace (CampaingMangerDL), I have added ths workset to the to this CampaignManagerDL role.
but my question is, when i open this DL(DeltaLink) role, CampaignManagerDL. It shows the attached worksets to that role, but all those worksets which are shown there are in SAP namespace.(for example Campaign management (com.sap.) ). should i delete it and add the workset (campaignmanagementDL workset, Delta link of original CampaignManagement (com.sap.) ) which is in my local namespace.
what is the procedure in the normal portal implementations.
Could some one guide me regarding this.
please help me in this regard
Thank you

Hi
The difference of a delta link is that u can change anything in targeti.e ur delta role that will not be affected in original source i.e original role in ur business package.but if you change anything in source it will effect ur delta role.use this principle u ur self will be able to find solutions
of this part
but my question is, when i open this DL(DeltaLink) role, CampaignManagerDL. It shows the attached worksets to that role, but all those worksets which are shown there are in SAP namespace.(for example Campaign management (com.sap.) ). should i delete it and add the workset (campaignmanagementDL workset, Delta link of original CampaignManagement (com.sap.) ) which is in my local namespace.

What is best UI technology to use for custom business package

Hi,
I have a requirement to develop a custom Business Package for Treasury in Finance. With my past experience I am leaning towards Web Dynpro for Java.
Client does not have any programming language consideration.
Is there any body who has done something like this ? Can some expert suggest me if my choice of Web Dynpro might not be good and why?

Hi,
If you don't have complex business logics and lot of portal runtime interaction then webDynpro is the best choice considering the ease of development and look and feel.
But your answer to the question is yes then you can think of java iView development along with webDynpro.
Thanks,
