Upgrade from 46c to ECC6.0 : Java or Java-AddIn ?

Hello
Can you explain me what is the difference between Java and Java-AddIn as proposed in evaluation phsae of an upgrade from 46c to ECC6.0?
Thank You.

Hi Alain,
But if we implement a JavaAddin solution today, do you think it will be possible to create a Java instance later to create a Portal solution ?
If you implement a java addin today then you can use later for portal solution.

Problem with FIELD SYMBOL upgrading from 46c to ECC6.0

Hi people... i'm having big trouble making an upgrade from 4.6c to ECC6.0 with this portion of code of Z's programm.
In the line
ASSIGN (w_field) TO <fs_field>.
i don't see any assigment, so <fs_field> remains empty, when enters into firts IF conditions it is TRUE, then go into second IF condition, it is FALSE, and finally assing
<fs_field> = '/'.
, at this point i have a DUMP telling me MOVE_TO_LIT_NOTALLOWED_NODATA
I'm try any way of definition, assigment, but always i have a DUMP.

Edited by: Matt on Dec 15, 2008 5:03 PM - Made subject more informative

Gentlemen:
The problem around this statement:
ASSIGN (w_field) TO <fs_field>
is explained as follows:
1. In ABAP language, there are two ways for assigning a new value to a field-symbol.
- Sentence: ASSIGN (values) TO <my_field_symbol>.
In this case, the <my_field_symbol> receives from (w_field) the data type and value content of this variable. So, we keep that a FSymbol is assigned and, at the same time, receives an initial value.
- Sentence: <my_field_symbol> = '/' or <my_field_symbol> = my_var.
In this way, we only pass the content of the variable next to = sign. But before this, the field-symbol must had been assigned (using ASSIGN statement), in another case, the compiler raises an exception.
Following the example of Federico... I think he tried to assign a field like this (please, supose the program imports the structure of a database table with a standard function, into a internal table which is looped by the work area w_field ):
- If w_field contains 'BKPF-WERKS', so sentence ASSIGN will affect the field symbol, passing to this the data type and current content of table field BKPF-WERKS.
- If w_field contains 'BKPF-.INCLUDE': *the column .INCLUDE obviously is not associated with a data type... so our statement ASSIGN... TO... never pass any data type or value to our field-symbol. So that, this field is never initialized properly, and when inmmediately you try to execute something like this: <my_field_symbol> = '/', the game (program) is over.. XD
I hope this post was helpful for anyone...
Best Regards!!

Moving/Transporting programs from 46c to ECC6

Guys,
For our upgrade we will start with a ECC6 system from scratch. The questions are - is there a tool to transport ABAP programs/functions from 46C to ECC6? Or in your experience it is better to manually do a download from 46C then manually upload to ECC6?
Thanks for your input.
Yan Guan.

Hi Yan,
If you are upgrading an existing 46C system to ECC 6.0 then the Z and Y programs in the system will be there even after your upgrade.
We will start with a brand new ECC system from scratch
means you are creating a system for the first time as ECC 6.0 ?. Then if there is transport path between your 46C sytem and ECC 6.0 sytem, you can transport the objects. Otherwise go for download/upload option. But I think creating a transport path is the better option.
Regards,
Soumya.

Hello Kumar9,
if I understoon correctly your last reply, you have doubts if PSAPPRD640 should exist at all, correct?
Please do the following:
1) Check any object assigned to this tablespace PSAPPRD640
2) If any object occupied to PSAPPRD640 then reorganise to new tablespace
If any object not occupied to PSAPPRD640 then check the table entry
   a)TAORA for tablespace PSAPPRD640(if exist delete)
   b)IAORA for tablespace PSAPPRD640(if exist delete)
3) If above done then drop the tablespace through BRTools.
Best regards,

Open dataset for input don't work after upgrade from 46C to 47

We did an upgrade from 46C to 47, after that all the Z programs that have the sentence "open dataset for input" alwas send a sy-subrc = 8, the curios things is that the sentece "open dataset for output" works ok.
Please I need help to solve this?
En example of code.
PARAMETERS: P_ARCHF(60) OBLIGATORY DEFAULT
'C:\20050900.txt' LOWER CASE.
OPEN DATASET P_ARCHF FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0. MESSAGE i001 WITH ARCHIVO. stop. endif.

Well, it's telling you that the datset doesn't exist. From the help in 4.7:
OPEN DATASET
Addition 1a
... FOR INPUT
Effect
OPEN ... FOR INPUT opens the file in read mode.
If the file does not exist, OPEN ... FOR INPUT fails with Return Code SY-SUBRC = 8.
Note
If OPEN DATASET is not executed in a Unicode program and if the user has write authorization for the file, the file is opened in read and write mode. Otherwise, it is only opened in read mode.

Hi Michael,
I did use the latest r3trans (patch 86), tp.exe (patch 86) and dbmssslib (patch81). But in the meantime there were new patches of r3trans and dbmssslib. Both version 87. Now it is working.
Thanks.

Upgrade from 46C to ECC 6

Hello:
We are planning to begin technical upgrade in SAP, from 46C to ECC 6.0.
I have the next landscape:
-Current SAP (CS): SAP 46C with Oracle 8.1.7 and Solaris 8
-New Server (NS): Without SAP, 40% more of capacity, with Oracle 10.2 and Solaris 10 already installed.
We want to install SAP ECC 6.0 in NS and get the data from CS.
Which is the best and easy way to do this? SAP manuals are quite generic. I have two ideas but I would like your comments:
1st way
1. Homogeneous copy of CS
2. I install ECC 6.0 in NS with the option to import data generated in 1. (is this possible??)
3. Finish installation and aditional configurations. I begin to test.
2nd way
1. Homogeneous copy of CS
2. I install 4.6C in NS with the option to import data generated in step 1. (Not sure if 4.6C will accept Solaris 10 and Oracle 10.2).
3. I suppose I don't need to reconfigure after installation and import.
4. I do necessary tests. At this point I would have 46C on the new versions of Solaris and Oracle.
5. I begin the SAP upgrade to ECC 6.0 in NS
6. .... The remaining processes indicated by SAP
Thanks for your attention.

> -Current SAP (CS): SAP 46C with Oracle 8.1.7 and Solaris 8
> -New Server (NS): Without SAP, 40% more of capacity, with Oracle 10.2 and Solaris 10 already installed.
The database software is usually installed during the run of sapinst/R3setup, not before. You may run into problems if you pre-install Oracle (environment, necessary database options not set etc.)
The easiest way would be do to a system copy.
I would then
- install the latest Oracle instantclient
- install the latest kernel 46D_EX2 kernel

Short dump in MIGO and VL02N when upgrading from 46C to ECC 6.0

Hello,
We are doing an upgrade from R/3 46C to ECC 6.0 and we face a shortdump in trx MIGO (upon saving the document).
DBIF_RSQL_INVALID_REQUEST
a BKPF_INSERT in program SAPLF005
The same shortdump happens when doing a Goods Issue on the SD side.
Looking at the program, this is not modyfied so I guess it is a standard SAP error.
OSS however, up to know did not respond to my message and there does not seem to be a SAP Note on this issue!
Anyone had this problem before. How did they solve it.
Thanks for any reply,

Hi,
you have to apply the same type of packages as before.
All other are included in ECC, but if you don't use the special services and applications (for example IS Oil or stuff like this), there is no need to apply all these packages.
SAP_ABA 700 0006
SAP_BASIS 700 0006

Upgrading from 46C to ECC 7.0

Guys,
My company is going to upgrade R/3 46C to ECC 7.0 later this year. From the development (ABAP programs, any ABAP objects) standpoint, any suggestions on preparation, or what can be done in our current 46C environment to ensure a smooth transition from 46C to ECC (unicode, obsolete ABAP syntax, etc)? Also any idea and recommendation on planning the upgrade, as well as things to watch out for are welcome.
Thanks,
Yan.

First ECC 7.0 does not exist, so you will be upgrading to ECC 6.0. And yes, you can start by doing a start for any calls to WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD. You will need to change these calls to call the GUI_UPLOAD or GUI_DOWLOAD function modules.
Other syntax issues will need to be handled after the upgrade, like using the ECODING extension on all OPEN DATASET statements.

Rich Heilman

Hi All,
We are upgrading from 4.6C to ECC 6.0.I have downloaded all the SOFTWARE from Service market place except ORACLE 10.2 which I am not able to locate it.
Do I need to order ORALCE UPGRADE CDS from SAP? or is there any way to find out on the service market place...
Would appreciate If any of you can throw some light in this regard...
Thanks in Advance,
Johnny.

Of course the DVDs are available for download.
I do not know your OS, but you can follow this path:
http://service.sap.com/installations
Entry by Application Group ( you should also have it available in "My Company's Application Components" )
From here there are several ways. For example:
SAP NetWeaver

During the XPRAS_UPG phase, i have an error in the post-import method RS_SHIP_AFTER_IMPORT for the transport SAPK700ZH1.
The log is the RDDEXECL job log:
Job started
Step 001 started (program RDDEXECL, variant , user ID DDIC)
All DB buffers of application server xxx were synchronized
Incorrect input for activating transported shadow IPacks
Job cancelled after system exception ERROR_MESSAGE
Have you already encountered this problem?
Thanks,
Alexandre

The problem is solved.
It was due to an empty entry in table rsbasidoc.

Upgrade from 46C to ECC6.0
