Upgrade from R/3 46C to ECC 6.0 (ERP 2005)

Hello,
        We want to know the version of the kernel that has to be installed to begin with the upgrade. We have the 46D version already installed, do we have to update the kernel to 46D_EXT (is it the latest?) ?
Thanks in advance,
Pablo

Hello,
if you install the latest Oracle Client you can use 4.6D with Oracle 10g. Our configs work well with this client-kernel pair.
You can find the documentation at http://service.sap.com/instguides "/other documentation/Database upgrades/Oracle: Upgrade to Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2): UNIX"

  • 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 -

  • Issues during technical upgrade from  version 4.6C to ECC 6.0

    Dear All,
    We have done a technical upgrade from version 4.6C to ECC 6.0 and encountered following issues -
    In the t-code ABZE (acquisition with in house production) there is a check-box for reversal posting on screen with version 4.6C. However, this field is missing in ECC 6.0. Why so?
    In the report s_alr_87012327, there is a field "only with creation block" in version 4.6C. However, this field is missing in ECC 6.0. Why so?
    Request to kindly suggest the alternative to carry out the same in ECC 6.0.
    Thanks in advance.
    Regards,
    Dhawal

    Hi Akshya,
    Please find answers below.
    1) 4.6c is NON-UNICODE system, Can I upgrade it into ECC 6.0 UNICODE system?
    Yes you can.
    If you are on a single code page system then you can give a gap between your uprade and unicode conversion. There is no problem with the singlecode upgrade and conversion.
    But if your system is MDMP then you will have to do the CUUC method that is both upgrade and unicode conversion together. Though you can give a gap and sign an disclaimer with SAP it is still not recomended way.
    2) 4.6c does not have any ITS system installed. If we upgrade it to ECC6.0 ABAP only, then Can I activate WAS internal ITS?
    Yes you can activate it.
    3) 4.6c does not have any JAVA stack. When I upgrade it to ECC 6.0, can I upgrade it to dual stack (ABAP+JAVA)? If yes, then how?
    After the upgrade and unicode conversion you can install the java stack.
    Regards,
    Ravi.

  • 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.
    Thanks,

    Hi Sunny,
    i continued with the option - without ADD ON.
    So, this mount point and ADD ON dvd issues are over.
    In the next screen, i have to specify the xml file and place the packages under EPS/in. I have done that accordingly and now i get a new error - No matching SAINT package for 'SAP_APPL' found.
    Any ideas where i have done wrong?

  • Upgraded from CR XI to 2011 and now my old 2005 SQL OBDC Connection is gone

    I upgraded from a working CR XI (v11.0) product to CR 2011 v14.0.2.  But when I try to open an old report from CR XI, it prompts me to a OBDC (RDO) Data Source Selection Window and my old Database connection is not there to select. 
    I use SQL Native Client 2005.90.3042.00 for my old SQL Server DSN Config with CRXI.  How do I select my old DSN Configuration so I can access my data?
    If I run CR XI, I can still connect with the above mentioned configuration without any problems.

    Hi Jeff,
    That is strange.... I've never heard of that happening before. I have 100's of reports that have no problems. What OS are you using? CR 2011 fully supports ODBC and SQL Server 2005 and 2008. How did you create the DSN and is it a User DSN, System DSN or file DSN?
    Actually we did not support the SQL Native Client in XI, you had to use the MDAC version "SQL Server" to connect. Not sure why it worked, likely because the SQL generated wasn't complex so it mapped to that driver easily.
    There have been others who have discovered using the SQL Native 10 client that gets installed with SQL Server 2008 Client Tools works great for both 2005 and 2008. You can download it from MS's site, get the 32 bit version. CR 2011 is still a 32 bit application.
    It does require you to update your DSN to the Native 10 driver, update, verify and save your old reports also to get them to the new CR 2011 file format.

  • Upgrade from 4.6 c to Ecc 6.0

    Hi all,
    We have  R/3 on 4.6c with windows 2000 on 32 bit with Sqlserver 2000, we are planning to upgrade to Ecc6.0 and windows to windows 2003 with 64bit and sqlserver 2000 to sqlserver 2005
    Can you plz guide  me the  the process of doing  things like
    which one i have to do like 32bit to 64  bit or windows to 2003 then bit upgrade then DB .
    I have  done upgrade on 4.7 to Ecc 6.0 does 4.6c upgrade to Ecc 6.0  is the same process...
    Plz suggest...
    Thanks,
    Subhash.G

    Hi all,
    We have 4.6c and windows 2000 32 bit and sql server 2000 32 bit on 64 bit hardware.
    On the same if we want to upgrade windows 2003 to 64 bit then sql server 2005 64 bit and 4.6c to ECC 6.0  what is the approach.
      I have one approch please  guide if i am wrong.
    For OS Upgrade:
    There is no approach to upgrade 32 bit windows 2000 to 64 bit windows 2003, we have  Install the 2003 from scrath.
    For Sqlserver:
      We can use attach/detach methods, we have to  install sqlserver 2005 64 bit with correct collation Bin2  and attach the DB .
    For SAP upgrade:
      Install the 4.6c  or restore the file system , since we have the DB , replace the kernel with 4.6D 64 bit then do the upgrade.
    Please correct  the approach if it's wrong.
    Thanks,
    Subhash.G

  • Old workflow behaving differently in upgrade from 4.6 C to ECC 6.0

    We are facing an issue in the workflow . Old and existing workflows before the upgrade have  different paths then the new workflow in the ECC6.
    Means , the same workflow when started from scratch is working fine , but when the old workflows are copied and run (the way which client is testing or you can say this way they do their work), then the workflow takes a different path. All the forks ,events,if clause are appearing as the last steps in the workflow grapic.
    Now my point is, that in upgrade there should not be any major change happened in SAP, seems that we may be missing some step to be performed after upgrade or during upgrade forits  standrad as well as custom worflows.

    Hello,
    I've never done the upgrade myself, but judging from what I've read it's very very important that you try to complete as many workflow instances before the upgrade. That doesn't help you much, but maybe others will take note.
    All you can do is search for your particular problem. Are there any error messages in the workflows?

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

    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!
