Upgrade from NW04 to NW04s

Hi,
We have a NW04 WAS 6.40 and we would like to upgrade it to a NW04s.
How can we perform it?
Has anyone some idea about which packages are necessary and how long does it take?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Christophe:
You can choose NW04 that is already in GA or you can choose NW04s that is currently in ramp-up; If you are going to start your implementation you can take full advantage and start using NW04s directly getting more value from the new functionalities of WAS 7.00.
You can get additional information from https://service.sap.com/rampup
Read this from the Marketplace:
SAP NetWeaver 2004s is the mySAP Business Suite edition of SAP NetWeaver 2004. It is a minor release that delivers on specific needs of the mySAP and xApps solutions delivered by SAP in 2005. The "s" stands for "mySAP Business Suite Edition". SAP NetWeaver 2004s will initially be made available through the ramp-up of the mySAP Business Suite Solutions. SAP NetWeaver is a comprehensive platform comprising former components like SAP EP or SAP BI, which do not longer carry an individual release number.
For customers looking to implement SAP NetWeaver during 2005 in the course of integration or development projects, or in the context of an ESA roadmap strategy, an implementation of SAP NetWeaver 2004 is recommended, as this is the current default release. An implementation of SAP NetWeaver 2004s is only recommended where new capabilities made available with SAP NetWeaver 2004s are absolutely required (e.g. Web Dynpro ABAP, new BI capabilities, MI - mass client administration).
Hope this helps!

Universal Worklist UWL not working in NW04s SPS9 after upgrade from NW04

Hello all,
this is just a hint in case anyone has the same problem with the UWL.
It happened to me in 2 cases, that in a Portal 7 SPS9 the UWL only showed a blank page after upgrade from NW04. In NW04 the UWL worked.
The reason for it was something like a corrupt deployment (but there were no according error messages in any log files). The SAP Support told me to redeploy the UWLJWF*.sca according to note 895523, that worked.
You can check whether the deployment is the reason of a non-working UWL setting the property "Launch Web Dynpro UI" to 'no'. Then the old HTMLB sources (that should work) are used (But it is not recommended to use the old sources anymore)
Kind regards
Andreas

Portal Upgrade from Nw04 6.0 to Nw04s 7.0

Hi all,
Im trying to perform the portal upgrade from version 6.0 Nw04 SP 19 to version 7.0 Nw04s.
During the preparation I obtain the following error:
#Java###The software component com.wilytech.jmxservice/wilytech.com could not be read from the BC_COMPVERS table; the table schema may be outdated. Fix it and then repeat the phase from the beginning.##
I have implemented note n 873624 in order to align the keyname and the keyvendor in sap manifest.mf but with no luck, the detect start release component fails with the same error.
Any suggestion?
Thanks and regards

Upgrading Portal from NW04 Sp14 to NW04S SP 9

Hi,
We are preparing to upgrade our EP 6 , NW04 SP 14 highly available installation to NW04S SP 9. It seems JSPM is the tool that comes with NW04s SP 9 which runs the upgrade for existing NW04s systems. However NW04 SP14 does not have this tool it only has SDM. Would be grateful if someone could tell me how to start off the upgrade? Do we need to deploy the JSPM from NW04s SP9 via SDM first on existing system? or is there another tool to start this upgrade?
Tarek

Hi,
1.Is this SP25 upgrade from SP24 will support the IE8 and Firefox 3.5
without any issues for webdynpro application running as of now?
For this you can refer SAP note 1098009, 1296463 and 960549.
2.is it required to upgrade ESS and MSS and anything on ERP side along
with Portal upgrade to SP25
Yes, you should upgrade ESS/MSS to keep it in sync with NW SP level. You can check below link for SP level of ESS/MSS with NW patch level and backend system patch level:
[Link|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPHCM/HOW%20TO%20GET%20RID%20OF%20SP%20STACK%20MISMATCH%20ISSUES]
3.After upgrade NWDI to SP25, all the present tracks with custom
components will work as it is?
It should work as such there is no well known issue with existing track after upgrade.
Thanks

Error while upgrading the NW04 engine

Hi All,
I got following error while upgrading the NW04 engine. "error while reading sdmrepository.sdc file. return code 16."
I tried from stand alone. same issue. It would be great if somebody gives solution quickly.
Thanks
Vincent

Hi ,
even if you start the mode in either standalone or integrated your SDM won't start completely and shows the above error.
check for sdmrepository.sdc file under <Drive>:\usr\sap\<SAP_ID>\JC<Instance_ID>\SDM\program\config\
sdc file might got corrupted or it's size would have got reduced. even if you run sdm in standalone or integrated,
you will get the same error.
Solution is to compare with the backup file that sapinst created everytime while upgarding the engine in the same folder and
replace the latest with the current.then your problem is solved.
hope that helps.reward points if it helps

Migration of BW system to New Hardware and Upgrade to NW04s

Hi,
I'm not sure this is the forum for this post but here goes...
We have recently started a project to migrate our current BW3.5 system to new hardware (HP Superdome) and then upgrade to NetWeaver 2004s.
To do this, we've taken a copy of our current Dev 3.5 system and moved it to the new hardware and will unicode and upgrade to NW04s. Once this is complete, we plan to install NEW instances of QA and Prod with NW04s. We will TRANSPORT all our configuration and reload all the providers in QA and Prod. This will be a MASSIVE task as we have hundreds of infoproviders. Additionally, I'm concerned we will not pick objects currently in 3.5 Prod system (e.g. custom queries/workbooks, infopkgs, process chains, variables, etc.) but not in current 3.5 Dev system.
My question is this - can we instead take copies of the current QA and Prod (3.5) systems and migrate, unicode, and upgrade in the new Superdome hardware. Per Basis, this is NOT possible due to the size of the current systems - approx 2.5 Terabytes. But maybe half of the database is consumed by old PSA's, unused providers, etc. If we were to clean up our current system and do a database reorg to reduce the database size, is it possible to do a system copy (Dev to Dev, QA to QA, Prod to Prod) --> any help/insight is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Senthil

I had this experience in my previous project and i wanna share a with you. we have migrated our total bw landscape from alfa servers to HP superdome servers.
we took all the copies of all the boxes( dev,QA,PRO) and migrate to superdome and upgrade to NW04. but in your case you are not taking copies QA and PRODUCTION. This is not realistic scenario. you got to move all the objects and configuration from dev to respective systems and load the data in the production.
so you have to take all the copies of all the boxes and migrate to superdome and upgrage to NE04, is the right way of doing.

BPS screens after Upgrade to NW04s

Hi,
After upgrade to NW04s, the BPS screens that we were using to input data to transactional infocubes, doesn't work any more
it says :
Message Number UPP_LB009
Long Text Diagnosis
The environment (planning area or level) of layout ZMACTI1 () has changed. In this form, the layout can no longer be used for planning.
System Response
Procedure
Call up the layout in change mode and make the necessary adjustments.
Is there any note talking about this issue ?

Hi mohamed,
Did you try going in change mode in the three screens of the layout builder? At that time it may also point out the characteristic which is creating the issue.
Cheers,

Portal Upgrade from EP6.0sp10 to EP6.0sp18

Hi All,
I am totally new to portal upgrade.we have current version of portal as follows:
portal version is: 6.0.10.2.0
KMC version is : 6.0.10.1.0 (NW04 SPS10 Patch 1)
Trex Version : 6.1.10.01
1. I am little confuse about whats the difference between Upgrading from EP6.0sp10 to "<b>EP6.0sp18/ NW04sp18</b>".Is the process for doing above is same or different.
2. I heard from SAP that TREX must be upgraded first before KMC and Portal.Is it true? whats is reason for that
?what should be latest SP and patch for TREX?any documents?
3. Is there any specific sequence to upgrade like TREX->WAS>portal>KMC?
4. What about customisations objects,will that be seriously affected after upgrade?How to prevent that?
can anybody give the Basic knowledge of upgrade and process flow.
Thanks in Advance.Help will be greatly appreciated.
Amit

Hi Amit,
EP6 SP18 ist the actual Service Pack for Enterprise Portal. NW04 SPS(!) 18 is the complete Service Pack Stack for the NetWeaver platform. So if you want SP18 for your portal installation, you should get the whole NetWeaver platform in use for that to SPS18 (as you wrote, for EP this is normally WAS, EP, KM, TREX, eventually NWDS).
TREX normally has the same counting as the rest, but in fact at the moment there is no SP18 for TREX, but it is renumbered again. The actual version reads TREX 6.1 Patch 26.
Sequence is WAS -> portal -> KMC -> TREX. Anyhow, you should not await a stable version if using mixed SPs, especially if mixing 10 with 18 So get all in line and then restart working with your installation.
As you normally shouldn't have customized standard objects but copied them into your own namespace and worked on these, there shouldn't be a problem. If you haven't gone this way, with such an update you will learn how urgent it is to keep this in mind --- never change standard objects...
Hope it helps

Upgrade from EP6.0SP2 to Netweaver 04

Hi,
Currently we have EP6.0Sp2 Patch3 installed and running. Recently we have got Netweaver 04. Kindly let me know what is the procedure for upgrading from EP6.0SP2 to Netwearver 04. DO we need to build a new system? or can old system be upgraded.
Thanks,
Maya.

Hi Maya,
in addtion To Dagfinn, some details:
- The migration tools are planned for Q1/2005. See /thread/25021 [original link is broken] where it is said they are planned for 2005-02-16, but I don't know how official this is.
- For WAS migration, there is a forum, with one thread at the moment, saying "J2EE Migration Kit available!!!", with one answer ("Where?"), with no reply... See SAP NetWeaver Application Server
- Anyhow, there are different SAP notes concerning migration issues, in detail:
Note 804876 for a KMC issue
Note 778977 for a PCD issue
And last but not least: The "EP 6 SP2 Migration to NW04 (EP6 SR1) Troubleshooting Guide": http://service.sap.com/~sapidb/012003146900000023012005E/Migration_Troubleshooting_Guide.htm

And i need information what are the advantages with SP19 for portal?
I can say thanks with points.

All the guides for upgrading to a new support package can be found in the SAP MarketPlace at <a href="http://service.sap.com/nw04maintenance">NW04 Maint</a>.
SP19 will have all the latest bug fixes, which is why you should apply it.

Upgrade from ep 6.0 to 7.0

Hi ,
This is our scenario.we have decided to go for E.P upgrade from 6.0 to 7..0 .I want suggestions from the people whoever have done this or aware of this otherwise provide me the link where i can get the information on this .that is downtime required during upgrade and hick ups etc. we are not going to procure separate hardware for this upgrade activity ,we are carrying on with existing one.and also for time being we don't have plan for 32 bit to 64 bit upgrade.
Environment:OS-windows nt,.DB--sql server 2000 ,sap version-.ep 6.0 (32 bit)
Thanks in advance

Hi Nitinkumar,
you should tell us if you are on EP 6 SP2 or EP6 NW04.
There is a big difference between them.
You can have info for the upgrade at http://service.sap.com/upgrade
In August we migrated/upgraded from EP6 SP2 to EP 7.0 2004s, on oracle database, windows 2003.
It took me 42 hours in a 3 days week-end.
What takes a lot of time :
Apply the most recent SP and hotfixes with JSPM.
Configuring Kerberos SSO, because IISProxy is not supported anymore.
Upgrade of Oracle 9 to 10 (not your case).
Deploy the new local edit activeX

Upgrading from 4.6C to ECC 6.0 on Windows/SQL Server 2000

Phase PARDIST_SHD failed with the following error:
"Table change not possible. There is a DB trigger on the table."
This problem is documented in the note 825146 (Add Info on upgrading to NW04s) in section IV item number 7. The note points to note number 956198 for the fix, which is to delete the trigger defined on table MSSDEADLCK manually in the SQL Server query analyzer.
I have performed the steps outlined in note 956198 to delete the trigger, but when restarting the upgrade it keeps coming back with the same error. It seems that, even if I restart the upgrade with INIT option, the upgrade is not re-setting to the beginning of the phase, but continues to error out immediately upon restart. Originally the phase took about 45 minutes to complete before it aborted with the error. Each time I have restarted the phase it ends after only a few seconds.
Anyone have any thoughts? I'm real close to just starting the whole thing over, I've never run into anything like this before. I am using the latest SAPup.

Hi,
did you do it as log said:
1. Manually delete the DB trigger using the report
SFSRFW_DROP_FSI_TRIGGER
2. Perform table changes
3. Create the DB trigger using the report SFSRFW_CREATE_FSI_TRIGGER
Thanks!
