Upgrade existing SAP solution to NetWeaver

Some upgrade problems/limitations are described <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b161a590-0201-0010-5590-91fa5076a914#q-3-11">here</a>.
My conclusions are the following:
- You have to buy NetWeaver and application component.
- Upgrade is complex and it is more complex if you have custom solutions.
- You should have significant reason for upgrade - it's pricy and effortful.
Where upgrade success stories could be found?

Hi Sam,
You can't upgrade embedded SAP NetWeaver components independently of the application. You can of course upgrade standalone SAP NetWeaver components independently of the SAP applications that they are connected to.
I would suggest you ask you SAP Account representative to talk to customers who have completed a similar upgrade to the one you are planning.
This gets you real information and an interactive discussion.
One other point, you should have some defined business reasons for upgrading.
Cheers,
Mike.

  • Upgrade to SAP Solution Manager 3.2 to 7.0 EHP

    Dear Experts
    At present I am using SAP Solution manager 3.2. Now I am planing to update SAP Solution Manager 7.0.
    I am some confutation in SAP Solution Manager 7.0 and SAP Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1,
    what i do please help me.
    Regards
    Sanjay C.

    EHP1 is basically a product enhancement of 700 - i.e offers new functionality
    Usually to get to Enhancement packages you need to be operating NW2004S stack based product - in this case 4.0 (now called Solution Manager 7.0)
    I think this proposal will require first an upgrade from 3.2 to 4.0
    then after applying Enhancement Package EHP1 and following pre-reqs for both steps
    Also bearing in mind that Solution Manager is RFC dependant any change in SID, Hostname or client will require
    all RFC connections will need to be adapted
    There may also be special considerations depending on source configuration or the active Solution Manager scenarios and content
    I would take a look at following PDF for reference - it may help in the initial 3.2-->4.0 upgrade

  • Copy SAP Solution Manager

    We would like to copy or install SAP Solution Manager 7.0.
    We investigate 2 options:
    1) Copy from existing SAP Solution Manager (export/import with SAPINST)
    2) new installation
    Question:
    Which approach is better (1 or 2)?
    Is a system copy of SAP Solution Manager different to other system copy of SAP systems?
    Which points should be regarded with system copy approach?

    Hi,
    I suggest you go for copy system option as it will copy all the config settings also
    Only in case if IP etc is changed the RFC needs be regenerated again otherwise basic settings will be there.
    This saves a lot of time
    Regards

  • How  to Upgrade from SAP NetWeaver 7.01 to NW 7.02?

    Hi Experts,
      I am working on GRC upgrade project,we need upgrade to GRC10.0 from GRC3.0.
    GRC 10.0 only work on NW7.02,we now have NW7.01. 
      How  to Upgrade from SAP NetWeaver 7.01 to NW 7.02?
    Use EHPI tools or just spam/saint  or any other way ?
    current version:
    SAP_ABA 701 0006 SAPKA70106
    SAP_BASIS  701 0006 SAPKB70106

    Thanks!

    HI,
    Net wevaer 7.2 CE is totally different from Net weaver 7.01.
    No relation i feel.kindly check the links.
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nwce72/helpdata/en/44/d958673ef05f4de10000000a11466f/frameset.htm
    http://help.sap.com/content/documentation/netweaver/index.htm
                      OR
    You do not need Netweaver 7.2 CE for using NWBC 3.0. You just need netweaver 7.02.
    You simply need to apply enhancement package 2 on your existing 7.01 system to make it 7.02.
    Please refer to installation guides on service marketplace, there you can see the EHP2 installation guides.
    Also, see SAP Note 900000 - Netweaver Business Client - FAQ. This will give you all the details required.

  • Migration of "CRONACLE for SAP solutions" to "SAP CPS for Netweaver"

    Hi,
    We have standalone  Cronacle/CPS 6.02.  We are in the process of researching about migrating to  "SAP CPS for Netweaver"  like SAP CPS M33. We have the following questions.
    1)Is a migration path available to migrate from "CRONACLE for SAP solutions" to "SAP CPS for Netweaver" ?.
    2)What are the benefits of going to "SAP CPS for Netweaver" ?.
    3)Is the migration can be done by ourselves or any SAP migration consultant is required?.
    Please advise.
    Thanks.
    Raj.

    Hi Laurence, Raj,
    This question is very old and I had not seen it before.
    To upgrade from CPS 6.0.2 or 7.0.4 to 8.0.0 (aka M33). I do not know if SAP consultancy offers anything for this, you want to check with them. SAP might refer you to Redwood, though.
    As for the differences, where do I start ... ;-)
    Actually, CPS 8 is a major platform shift. Version 6 and 7 were PL/SQL-based solutions, version 8 is Java-based. You have many more possibilities built-in, such as better XBP 3.0 support, web services, SAP BusinessObjects, SAP PI/XI control, ... the list could go on forever.
    Some older platforms (very, very old) are no longer supported, afaik, but you get native z/OS (mainframe) platform agents, AS/400 agents ... the user interface is platform independent, so you can access it from any OS including, but not limited to, Windows, Unix, Linux, and Mac OS X. There is even an iPhone/iPad client.
    BTW, I do not know how long version 6 and 7 are supported.
    The platform shift means that you might have to use a PL/SQL API in version 8. I guess it depends on how much PL/SQL you use. If most of your jobs are SAP and OS jobs, you would not even need that.

  • Implementierung des SAP Solution Managers 4.0 SR2 über SAP Netweaver 2004s

    Hallo Leute,
    finde es gut das man hier in forum sich gegenseitig helfen kann.
    Bräuchte unbedingt ein Installations Leitfaden für die Implementierung des SAP Solution Managers 4.0 SR2 über SAP Netweaver 2004s
    würde mich auf eure Antworten und Lösungsvorschläge freuen.
    MfG
    Ali

    Hi,
    For how long the installation process has been running. Check the following.
    1. The virtual memory page size that you have assigned.
    2. The hard disk free space.
    3. The Virtual memory should be optimized size, should not be larger than the free space available.
    These are performance optimization settings.
    I guess the installation would take around ten hours, I am not sure.
    But one thing is sure <b>SAP</b> is not that bad to get aborted abruptly.
    Keep Patience while installing. Before that take care that your system satisfies, requirements.
    Hope I was clear. Feel free to get back, incase you face any problem.

  • Adding existing RWD uPerform documents using SAP Solution Manager Adapter?

    Note# 1468552
    Cannot add existing RWD uPerform documents using the SAP Solution Manager Adapter.
    Currently, a user can only create a new document with the Solution Manager Adapter; there is no
    ability to add existing uPerform documents that have already been created.
    RWD has submitted an enhancement to SAP requesting this functionality.
    Hi All,
    Has there has been any update on the functionality to add existing RWD uPerform documents to Solution Manager? I have found a note from 2010 stating that this functionality has been submitted as a enhancement. My question is, has this feature been implemented yet? If not, does anyone have any suggested work-arounds for this issue?
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Stephanie,
    I can't find much information on this topic.
    You could create a message in component SV-SMG-SPA.

  • Upgrade process to SAP Solution Manager 7.1

    Hello!
    We use SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0 (SPS 26) and plan to upgrade to the new SAP Solution Manager 7.1.
    We currently do not have Java Stack there.
    Some questions about Upgrade process
    1) Can a direct Upgrade from SAP EHP 1 for SAP Solution Manager 7.0 (SPS 26)  to SAP Solution Manager 7.1 be realized?
    2) Should we first install Java Stack and then proceed with the Upgrade or otherwise?
    3) Will Windows 32 Bit and None-Unicode Version of SAP Solution Solution Manager be supported?
    It will be great to get some helpful information.
    kind regards

    Hello!
    Trying to answer your question
    1)  As described in note 1244225, there no restriction to upgrade the Solman EHP1 to solman 7.1. Refer to the section:
    In case you do not participate in this current Solution Manager 7.1 beta shipment there are no  restrictions for implementing now SP stack 25 and upgrading in the future to an equivilant SP stack of release 7.1."
    2)  The Solman EHP1 must always be a dual stack system, I am not sure,  how you are  running the Solman EHP1 without a Java Stack, you should have one.
    3) I am not sure if there will be a Solman 7.1 32Bit Non-UNICODE version. But,  SAP recommends to run Solution Manager on Unicode (see also customer letter on http://service.sap.com/Unicode).  At solman EHP1 there are some issues when running the system as Non_UNICODE, refer note 1383407.
    I am not sure if I could clarify all your doubts.
    You may check the following URL:
    http://service.sap.com/instguides
    - SAP Components
    - Solution Manager 7.1
    As this is a very new software there is few documents in it, but soon you should see a upgrade guide here.

  • Can SRM 5.0, ECC 6.0, Netweaver 2004S upgrade to SAP Basis 7.1/kernel 710?

    Hi guys,
    For IPv6 support, based on note 1346768,
    ===================================
    o You use AS ABAP with a SAP Kernel 7.10 and at least patch level
    150 or a SAP Kernel of Version 7.11 or 7.20.
    ====================================
    How can the SRM/ECC/Netweaver products use IPv6? As far as I know, version 7.1 has not been released for these products yet. Can we upgrade the SAP Basis support pack only to 7.1?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    You already gave yourself the answer : "version 7.1 has not been released for these products yet".
    So it means that IPV6 support is not yet possible for SRM 5.0 and ECC 6.0.
    You have to wait for SAP and most probably you will have to do a full upgrade of the product and not only of Netweaver.
    Regards,
    Olivier

  • Connecting an existing CEN to the SAP Solution Manager

    Hi,
    I have running a CEN (Central Monitoring).
    To use this Monitoring Data into the SAP Solution Manager  for CPH and E2E Monitoring , a connection is needed between CEN and Solution Manager.
    It seems that this information is available on SDN but I can not find it.
    Has anybody experience with it?
    Thanks
    Paul

    the extensions should be connected to the terminals on the faceplate as that enables you to connect to test socket and eliminate all your internal wiring which is essential when checking your broadband conenction.  in addition the bt incoming wires on the back of the master belong to openreach.  connecting to terminals A&B is star wiring and will just cause problems with any broadband conenction and should you need an openreach engineer then he would disconnect the wires and may connect to faceplate or may not connect them as that is customers responsibilty
