Upgrade from ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0 Version

Dear All,
Where can i get sufficient data to find out what are the requirements, Pros and cons of upgrading SAP Version from 5.0 to 6.0.
How can i go about finding out whether it would be feasible to carry out the upgrades?
What is the basic difference between the two versions ?
Any reply/Help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Jyotsna Loomba

  • BI 7.0: Source System upgrade from R/3 Enterprise to ECC 6.0

    Background:
    I am relatively new to BW team and will be going through my 1st source system upgrade.
    We currently have BI 7.0 SPS 17 connected to source system R/3 Enterprise EP1.
    We are upgrading to the source system to ECC 6.0.
    In Development and QA Environments:
    we will have access to both old (R/3 Enterpirse) and the new (ECC 6.0) source systems.
    We have a opportunity to compare the BW Objects, data flow and data loading from
    both source systems.
    In Production, however, we will just upgrade over 3 days downtime.
    One Question that comes to mind in this regard...
    What sort of things, we should be checking for before and after upgrade in Dev/QA and in Prod environments and what tools are available that can help the analysis and validation process ?
    Some of the suggestions that were given to me include following points.
    Before Upgrade:
    1 Check data, taking pre images of it for testing with post upgrade.
    2. Perform proper analysis of Source system related BW objects.
      - A complete listing of actively used Datasources,.. etc.
    3. Make delta queues empty,
    Make sure that all existing deltas are loaded into BW.The last request delta must not deliver any data and must be green in the monitor.
    4. Stop Process chains from BI (remove from schedule) and collection runs from R/3 side
    After Upgrade:
    1 After the OLTP upgrade, refer to note 458305 and other notes that are relevant to the actual upgrade
    (depending on the R/3 system release / R/3 plug-in to BI plug-in compatibility).
    2. Check logical system connections. Transactions SMQS, RSMO and SM59, If no access, then we can use Program RSRFCPIN_NEW for RFC Test.
    3. Check and/or Activate control parameters for data transfer. SBIW ---> General Settings --->
    Maintain Control Parameters for Data Transfer
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/51/85d6cf842825469a51b9a666442339/frameset.htm
    4. Check for Changes to extract structures in LBWE Customizing Cockpit 
        - OSS Notes 328181, 396647, 380078 and 762951
    5. Check if all the required transfer structures are active. See OSS Note 324520 for mass activation.
    7. Check if all Source system related BW Objects are active - Transfer rules, Communication rules, update rules,DTPs,..etc. 
    Below is a link for some useful programs in this regard.
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/wiki?path=/pages/viewpage.action&pageid=35458
    6. Test all important datasources using RSA3 and check for OLTP Datasources changes .
    As soon as BW notices that the time stamp at the DataSource in the OLTP is newer than the one in the transfer structure, it requests replication of the DataSource and activation of the transfer structure. Transfer the relevant DataSources only if required, and transfer only the ones that have changed (RSA5 -> Delta).
    7. Create Data flow objects (trnasfer rules, infopackages, trnasformations, DTPs) for the Replicate
    new/changed datasources,if needed. 
    8. Check all CMOD enhancements.
    If we are using a customer exit with the extractor in the OLTP, see Note 393492.
    7. Check for unicode (all custom programs or Function Modules for DataSources)
    5.  Check all the queues in RSA7, start delta runs and test data consistency.
    For delta problems:In the BW system, start the 'RSSM_OLTP_INIT_DELTA_UPDATE' program for the DataSource and the source (OLTP) system for which the init selections are then transferred from BW into the ROOSPRMSC and ROOSPRMSF tables in the source system so that the delta can continue.
    9. Take back up of data posted during upgrade for contingency planing.
    10. Run the entire set of process chains once if possible and let it pick up no data or the usual master data.
    Since we have lot of experts in this forum, who have probably gone through such scenario many times, i wanted to request you to Please Please advise if i have stated anything incorrectly or if i am missing additional steps, OSS Notes, important details...

    Thanks Rav for your detailed post and very helpful contribution by posting all the information you had regarding the upgrade.
    We have similar scenario -
    We are upgrading our source system from 4.7 to ECC 6.0. We have our BI system with BI 7.0 at support pack 19 (SAPKW70019).
    Our strategy in ECC deployment  ->
    In development we copied our old DEV 4.7 system DXX to new ECC system DXY (new system ID).
    In production we are going to use same system PRXX upgraded from 4.7 to ECC.
    Now we are in testing phase of ECC with all interfaces like BI in Dev.
    My questions are below ->
    How can we change/transfer mapping of all our datasources in Dev BW system BID to new ECC dev system DXY (Eg. Logical system LOGDXY0040) from Old dev system DXX (Eg. Logical system LOGDXX0040). We donot want to create new datasources or change all transfer rules/Infosources for old BW3.x solutions on our BI.
    Also in new ECC sourcesystem copy  we see all datasources in Red in RSA7 transaction. Do we need to initialize again all the datasources from our BW BID system.
    Is there any easy way for above scenario ?
    Please let me know if you have any further helpful information during your ECC 6.0 upgrade connecting to BI 7.0 system.
    I have found some other links which have some pieces of information regarding the topic -

  • It´s possible to upgrade from the latest mavericks beta to the final version?

    Hi all. I´m thinking in becoming a developper because  I want to install mavericks beta on my macbook pro (I can´t wait for the battery and ram upgrades). But i have a question before that. It´s posible to upgrade from the latest mavericks beta to the final version? , or Ihave to restore to mavericks final version and then use a time machine Backup?
    Thanks in advance.
    Sorry for english

    No one who knows can say, because Mavericks is not released yet.
    To get a Free copy that can be updated, you need to have a paid developer membership, at a minimum cost of at least US$100/ annually. (This may also include one Developer Tech Support incident and other benefits.)
    Apple has lowered the cost of new versions of Mac OS X to about US$20. If Mavericks is released at about that price, buying a legitimate copy instead of depending on a quirky developer version that cannot be updated should not be a difficult decision.

    Hi,
    Am planning to Upgrade my CUC(Unity Connection) from 8.6.2 to 9.1 latest version, having my Call manager in the same version 8.6.2. I will upgrade my Call Manager from 8.6.2 to 9.X later.
    Hope i can upgrade my CUC first.
    I need some info like,
    1) Am not getting the image to download which can upgrade from 8.6.2 to 9.1 latest version directly. Should i have to move to 9.0 first and then to 9.1 ??
    2) Is their any pre cautions need to be taken care/ well known issues during the upgrade.
    3) Also, hope licensing get migrated automatically (no need to have extra efforts)
    4) Advantages of Moving to 9.x wrt to features compared to 8.6.
    Pls suggest.

  • HT1444 how do I upgrade from Mac OS 10.5.8 to later versions so new software like turbo tax will work

    how do I upgrade from Mac OS 10.5.8 to later versions so new software like turbo tax will work?

    Upgrade Paths to Snow Leopard, Lion, and/or Mountain Lion
    You can upgrade to Mountain Lion from Lion or directly from Snow Leopard. Mountain Lion can be downloaded from the Mac App Store for $19.99. To access the App Store you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or later installed.
    Upgrading to Snow Leopard
    You must purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
    After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mountain Lion if your computer meets the requirements.
         Snow Leopard General Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
           2. 1GB of memory
           3. 5GB of available disk space
           4. DVD drive for installation
           5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
               fees may apply.
           6. Some features require Apple’s MobileMe service; fees and
               terms apply.
    Upgrading to Lion
    If your computer does not meet the requirements to install Mountain Lion, it may still meet the requirements to install Lion.
    You can purchase Lion by contacting Customer Service: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers. The cost is $19.99 (as it was before) plus tax.  It's a download. You will get an email containing a redemption code that you then use at the Mac App Store to download Lion. Save a copy of that installer to your Downloads folder because the installer deletes itself at the end of the installation.
         Lion System Requirements
           1. Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7,
               or Xeon processor
           2. 2GB of memory
           3. OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
           4. 7GB of available space
           5. Some features require an Apple ID; terms apply.
    Upgrading to Mountain Lion
    To upgrade to Mountain Lion you must have Snow Leopard 10.6.8 or Lion installed. Purchase and download Mountain Lion from the App Store. Sign in using your Apple ID. Mountain Lion is $19.99 plus tax. The file is quite large, over 4 GBs, so allow some time to download. It would be preferable to use Ethernet because it is nearly four times faster than wireless.
         OS X Mountain Lion - System Requirements
           Macs that can be upgraded to OS X Mountain Lion
             1. iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
             2. MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
             3. MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
             4. MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
             5. Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
             6. Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
             7. Xserve (Early 2009)
         Are my applications compatible?
             See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
         For a complete How-To introduction from Apple see Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion.

  • Upgrading from cisco LMS 3.0 to a latest version

    Hello,
    Upgrading from cisco LMS 3.0 to a higher version.
    Whatdoes it require?.
    What is the current version?
    What do we need for upgrading?
    Are there specific codes or new need to buy new products?
    In case of buying new products, which are the configurations?

    H Malik,
    You are correct! Latest version is Cisco prime LMS 4.2. There is no direct upgrade from LMS 3.x to LMS 4.x.
    The procedure is simple:
    Take backup orf old LMS --> Un-install (if same machine)--> Install new LMS --> Restore backup to get old data.
    You would need to purchase new license for it.Cisco Prime LMS is now part of the Cisco Prime Infrastructure bundle and is not orderable separately. Cisco Prime Infrastructure bundle follows a size-based incremental licensing model. Device licenses can be combined and added when applied to a single server installation instance. Customers have the option of adding incremental licenses for additional devices as their network grows.Refer to the Cisco Prime Infrastructure Ordering Guide located at http://www.cisco.com/go/primeinfrastructure for the exact part number that matches your requirement and placing the order.
    Currently even SmartNet or SAS contracts does not cover major upgrades from LMS 2.x and 3.x; an upgrade part number will need to be purchased to move to Cisco Prime LMS 4.2. These upgrade part numbers reflect a significant discount to protect customers' investment in the Cisco Prime product line.
    The data migration process will vary depending on the LMS version from which the data need to be migrated. Migrating data to LMS 4.2:
    • LMS 4.2 supports local upgrade or direct inline upgrade only from LMS 4.0.1 and LMS 4.1.
    • LMS 4.0 customers are encouraged to install LMS 4.0.1 before doing inline upgrade to LMS 4.2.
    • LMS 3.2 and LMS 3.2 Service Pack 1 customers can do a remote upgrade through the LMS backup and restore mechanism.
    • LMS 3.1, LMS 3.0, LMS 3.0 December 2007 Update, LMS 2.6, and LMS 2.6 Service Pack 1 customers need to do a remote upgrade to LMS 4.0.1 and then upgrade to LMS 4.2.

  • Regarding Upgradation From 4.6 C To ECC 6.0-Urgent

    Hi all
    can anybody let me know what is procedure to upgrade the SAP From 4.6 C To ECC 6.0 from MM and CIN point of view
    --is Up gradation is just like an implementation or Enhancement process
    any help would be appreciable
    thanks in Advance
    Edited by: JAM SAP on Feb 27, 2008 8:47 AM

    Upgrading project mostly involves testing with the existing system with the new system.SAP already released the release notes for this Upgrading ECC 6.0.
    (1). YOu have to do unit test/Integration test/Regression test in your new system based on the business process documents prepared for your present system.
    (2). You mostly encounter Interface issues(If exist)/Authorization issues/Enhanced naming issues/Usage issues.
    (3). In 46C you have to do external configuration for CIN.However In ERP 2005, It is already in built.Hence Knowledge of CIN will be more than sufficient to manage the CIN issues.
    (4). More over you must be very confident in the business process.Unless you will receive many UAT issues.
    (5). I strongly advice you based on my experience, Whenever you do unit test and Integration test, use your user id to.When you do regression testing, get the user id from user copy all the roles from the user id and create new id.Using this new id you do the Regression testing.This will avoid many problems.
    (6). Another Imprtant big issue is patch work infomation.After release of 46C, SAP released many patches for 46C.However these patches are all not updated in to your present 46C system.These patches are already in in built in ECC 6.0, hence you will get diff.result when you do testing.If such a case, advice the user about the patch work, and proceed. In most of my cases , SAP enjoyed with 46C without patch scenario, but in ECC6.0 they started to complain, b'cas the new patches.
    (7).Give me your mail id ,I will send you the release notes.
    (8).Note down my forum discussion to know about the some of the issues.
    Hopefully it will be helpful, Let me know, If you need more Information.Thanks

  • MB_DOCUMENT_BADI - SAP R/3 release upgrade from 4.7.1 to ECC 6

    Once finished upgrading from SAP R/3 4.7.1 to SAP ECC 6, from SPAU I see that there was no problem on the implementations of this BAdI. But when I tried the transaction, where this BAdi was implemented in, I realized that my implementations were not working. In addition, from SE19, I see that these implementations are active, so why they aren't working?
    I think that there are some problem in BAdI implementations when upgrading SAP release, but I don't know how to solve my problem and turn on my implementations.

    Hi,
    I am currenty running CUE (NME-CUE) version 8.6.1 on router 2851, I want to upgrade to version 8.6.7 (provide support CUCM 9.1).
    can somebody tell me In what case is used command "software install clean" and in what case is used command "software install upgrade"?
    Apprecaite your help.
    Best regards,
    Tan

    Hi Tan,
    can somebody tell me In what case is used command "software install   clean" and in what case is used command "software install upgrade"?
    A "software install  clean" is used when you would need to do a fresh install, while the
    "software install upgrade" would be used for upgrading from 8.6.1 to 8.6.7
    As per document and command reference:
    Several processes are available for upgrading Cisco Unity Express  software. Choosing a process depends on the type of upgrade required.
    •Upgrade installation—Upgrade using the online installer with the software install upgrade command. This process is available for upgrading from the previous  software release to the current one, such as upgrading from 2.1.3 to  2.2.
    Using this process, the system remains operational while the new  software files are downloaded in the background. Only an FTP server is  required. See "Upgrading the Previous Software Image" for more details.
    •Clean installation—Upgrade using the online installer with the software install clean command. This installation process is available for upgrading licenses  and for upgrading software releases later than 2.0 to the current one.
    Using this process, the system remains operational while the new  software files are downloaded in the background. For a new license, you  must back up and restore configuration files; for a new software image,  you must back up and restore both configuration and data files. Only an  FTP server is required. See "Upgrading to a New License" or "Installing a New Software Image" for more details.
    •Clean installation with the boot helper—Upgrade using the boot helper with the software install clean command. This clean installation process is available for upgrading  licenses, upgrading software releases prior to 2.0.1 to the current  release, and when the other upgrade processes are unsuccessful.
    Using this process, the system must be offline while the new software  files are downloaded. This installation erases and repartitions the disk  before loading the new files on the disk. You must back up and restore  your configuration and data files. Both an FTP and a TFTP server are  required. See "Installing a Software Image Using Boot Helper".
    Kindly rate the post accordingly.

  • Upgrade from premiere elements11 and photoshop elements 11 to version 12

    Hello i think I buy te upgrade from the packket premiere elements 11 and photoshop elements 11 to version 12 of this to produkts, when I do that create the upgrade then  new icons on your desctop screen or overwright the upgrade the version 11 total, must I remove version 11 before or can I do that after the upgrade to version 12.
    Thanks

    Vanelli014
    I do not believe that you mentioned what computer operating system you are using for your Premiere Elements 11 and 12.
    Although Photoshop Elements 12 may be lacking some of your Photoshop Elements 11 features, Premiere Elements 11 and 12 are essentially the same,  but 12 does give a few additional features which may or may not be necessary for your present or planned workflows.
    Photoshop Elements/Premiere Elements 11 and 12 perform the same and well for me on Windows 7 64 bit. I cannot say the same specifically for Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit. Premiere Elements 11 is performing fine on this same Windows 8 or 8.1 64 bit where Premiere Elements 12 is not.
    Just beware of any intergration perks that you might lose if you decide to pick and choose the best by mixing the combos, that is Photoshop Elements 11 with Premiere Elements 12 or Photoshop Elements 12 with Premiere Elements 11.
    Bottom line: I would ask you to consider leaving the both versions installed until you decide what programming is in the best interest of your workflows. Key...use one Premiere Elements program at a time.
    We will be looking forward to learning of your progress.

    After upgrading from SL 10.6.8 to ML 10.8.4, many of the apps and utilities are inaccessible. Disk utility, activity monitor, messages, calendar, address book, dictionary, mail, QuickTime, and so on have a grey circle with a back slash over them. Some apps do work about 12 are in the condition described. When I click on an app with a grey circle and slash a message pops up stating that this version of the app can't be used with this version of OSX. Have a time machine backup so rollback to SL is possible. Thanks for the help.
