Upgrade from Strategic Finance v9.3 to v11

Can anyone please tell me their experience upgrading from Strategic Finance v9.3 to v11. In particular I am interested in feedback regarding Dimensions (incl. ECMs of Formula Changes to the dimension), Essbase Mapping, File Importing, file sizes (mine are very large), Calc Times.
Also is there a comparison sheet that exists that lists the attributes for each version?

Hi John,
We got an update from the client stating that he does not want to move to windows 2008 sever and he wants to continue with windows 2003 server itslef. There are lot of questions in my mind. Where to start from? Is there any document whiich will help me to start the upgradation.
1) Do i need to uninstall the exisitng version and install the new one or is there any upgrade option button which is available in version 11.1.2.1 which i just need to cliick on it.
2) How should i take care about the users and groups as there is no OPENLDAP in 11.1.2.1 ? How should i do it?
3) The client is using Apache in the current verison and i think it replaced as OHS in 11.1.2.1? How should i do this?
4) Client wants to move oracle 9i to Exadata. can we configure Hyperion with Exadata. I don't think that we can configure Hyperion with exadata...
Kindly help me out....
Regards,
AS

I want to upgrade from my current version of Flash v11.9.900.117 to the current v11.9.900.152. On cl

I want to upgrade from my current version of Flash v11.9.900.117 to the current v11.9.900.152. On clicking on the Flash player link in the Downloads section of the Adobe home page I am taken to what looks like the 'Flash Player' download page with an 'install Flash' button in the bottom right hand corner. However, when I click on this button I am directed back to the Adobe home page. Could this be something to do with my AV?.

Bypass the downloader/installer and download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by clicking one of the following links.

Here is the document that will help you.

I would think the answer to all your question is "Yes" but that said, I am not very sure about Essbase.:)

Preservation of connections prior to upgrade from v9.3.x to v11.1.2

Hello again SV Gurus out there!!
I am contemplating upgrading the Smart View add-in on my PC from v9.3.1.6 to v11.1.2 and since I have quite a few connections already set up against our Prod and Non Prod environments, I would like to know whether it would be possible to preserve the list of connections somehow (as the v11.1.2 installation process requires an uninstall of v9.3.1.6 of SmartView).
Along the same lines as the above, I would like to know if the list of all connections is stored somewhere else aside from in a PC's registry (ie, as I was able to locate a few entries pertaining to SmartView under the following RegEdit hierarchy HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Hyperion Solutions > HyperionSmartView)
Knowing the above would help enormously when deploying Smart View v11.1.2 to all users.
Thanks in advance,
JBM

Smartview reports do not open in HFM v11.1.2.1 after upgrade from v9.3.1.

Smartview reports when I attempt to open in HFM v11.1.2.1 (after upgrade from v9.3.1), points me to launch v9.3.1 workspace. Any advise pls... Thanks, Mark

Mark,
I still don't fully understand the issue. Smart View is not launched from Workspace -- it is instead run from within one of the Microsoft Office products (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook). Are you instead asking about Financial Reports? These are run from the Explore menu within Workspace. You can view these as html or PDF.
A little more confusing is the fact that Smart View can run a Financial Report from within any of the Office products. In any case, when you use Smart View in 11.1.2.1 you could open a connection to the Workspace server (the connection in Smart View is defined in the Smart View options under Advanced > Shared Connections URL). Assuming you have provided a correct URL there, pointing to the 11.1.2.1 workspace server, you should see the available shared connections when you open a new conenction.
I re-read your e-mail and wonder if you are confusing things a bit. If you log into Workspace, using Internet Explorer, each user has their own preferences as to what page launches by default upon login. I think you are saying that a usr logging into the 11.1.2.1 workspace somehow has a default page leading them back to the 9.x workspace? If so, check their preferences to examine the default document and it's URL. Once logged into Workspace, choose File > Preferences > General, to view the Startup page. You can make any changes here, but this is user-by-user.

Is it really necessary to Upgrade from Oracle EBS R11i to R12?

Hi,
Oracle Applications 11.0.3 (Oracle Financials) was implemented in our company and later in 2006 it was upgraded to 11.5.10 (with new implementation of Supply Chain Management Module - INV,OM and PO) and 2 months ago we upgraded it to 11.5.10.2+DB 11gR2.
I've been recommending to upgrade to R12 but the Finance Users are reluctant for an upgrade and of the opinion that the R12 has many bugs and there will be issues after upgrade to R12.
Once of the consultant is of the opinion that its better to re-implement R12 instead of Upgrade. He also tells me that R12 does not have sub-accounting and sub-ledger and trial balance reports in AP.Since I am not a Functional Consultant I could not comment on this.
Please advice if there are any useful docs which address the upgrade to R12 issues which I can share with our consultant and users.

R12.1.x is a stable release that many customers (including Oracle themselves) have upgraded to.

The Finance modules have been completely re-written and fucntionality had changed for the better. Re-implementation typically costs upto 3 times more than a upgrade. Re-implementation is not necessary if the business model and process have not changed. What are the consultants justifications for doing a re-implementation (other than making more money) ?
Please advice if there are any useful docs which address the upgrade to R12 issues which I can share with our consultant and users.

Upgrade from Planning 9.2.0.2 to 9.3.1 or 11.1

We are currently on Sytem 9.2.0.2 and are looking to upgrade to 9.3.1 or 11. Does anybody know where I can go to get some information on the difference between 9.3 & 11. Any specific things I should look out for with regards to an upgrade to either version. I wouldn't look to do an upgrade until early 2009 and by then there would probably be a 11.1.2. Any info would be much appreciated. Regards John

Hi,
You can find all the Version 11 documentation at :- http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/index.htm
There are a number documents outlining the new features or you could have a look at the blog I wrote on looking at the new features of Planning V11 :- http://john-goodwin.blogspot.com/2008/07/planning-11-new-features.html
In theory you can upgrade from Planning 9.2 to 9.3.1 or 11, I must admit when it comes to planning I prefer to do a fresh install of planning and then migrate the planning apps.
Cheers
John

Need to understand impact on workflows during upgrade from EBP 3.0 to SRM 5

Hello experts,
Greetings to all and a Happy New Year!!
I am new to the workflow concept, though i have a fair idea of EBP.
We are using EBP 3.0, classic scenario. Very soon, we would be upgrading from EBP 3.0 to SRM 5.0. I have a few questions which i need to knw before I take up the upgrade part:
1) The impact on the worflows like Shopping cart approval, purchase contract approval etc when we upgrade from EBP 3.5 to SRM 5.0...
2) Does EBP have their own release strategies or are the release strategies defined in R/3 and applied to the shopping cart when it is ordered in EBP? As in classic scenario, POs are created in R/3, then how does the appoval process happen?
3) What are the necessary things, if any, that I should make sure of before upgrading?
4) Does all workflows also get upgraded or is there any tool to upgrade the workflow?
I am not clear with the approval concept in EBP. I know there are workflows that get triggered when a shopping cart is ordered but the approval process in this workflow is something which i want to understand. Please forward me a document, if possible, or a link will also do.
Please let me know the necessary details.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ayush

Hi Ayush,
Most workflows will be the same, but if you have modifications on these workflows' then i'd suggest reverting back to the standards for the upgrade.
Im not quite sure what you mean about the release strategy. What can be done though, is creating Purchase Requisitions in the R/3 and pass them to the SRM system. From here PO's can be created and the approval process will take place in accordance with your workflow rules in tcode: swb_cond.
Before upgrading, try to have the system as clean as possible. When i say clean, i mean make sure that users are consistent, SC's, PO's etc arent left hanging. Try to avoid carrying documents over to the new system. I'd suggest archiving anything you can too.
I don't have any documents to give you but the basic process and transactions are as follows:
SWB_COND: Your workflow start conditions. Which WF's are on/off (defined by green/red light)
SWI6: This will let you examine a document and its relevant WF by its object id. (SC No, PO No etc..
SWUD: Allows for Consistency checks on your workflow and will find any inconsistencies which are occuring. (Use Test Environment and WF Tech Name i.e 14500015)
SWDD: The workflow builder, will let you build, activate, create new version and modify the worklows in your system.
Approval itself is simply the chain of approval which a workflow is defined to follow. You need your managers to approve/reject and the conditions for which Managers should be called for approval. Its works from Possible Approvers for workitems and Excluded Approvers for workitems.
Understanding the WF log is the most essential thing of all. The understanding of BADI is quite important too.
Hope this info helps you. Check help.sap.com cause everything is documented there too!
Cheers

Planning upgrade from system 9.2 to System 11

Hi,
Can any one pls. let me know the upgradation process from Hyperion Planning version 9.2 to version 11 ? Can we directly migrate from version 9.2 to 11 ?
Thanks,
PR

Hi,
I would not go down trying to directly upgrade from 9.2. to V11.
I would back up all your planning objects, install configure V11 and perform a standard planning migration, it will upgrade the planning relational database.

Upgrade from crystal report 4 to crystal report 11

hi,i have an old application developed use vb5.0 and crystal report 4,
now i want to upgrade it to vb6.0 and cystall report 11, does the cystal report 4 and 11 are compatiable?

Hello,
Crystal Report 4.6 reports are pretty old. There have been 3 or 4 major code rewrites to Crystal Reports between CR 4.6 to CR XI. I think your CR 4.6 reports will run from CR XI but I can't be sure. I haven't seen CR 4.6 in quite a few years and have never tested it. You will probably want to update the old reports to CR XI. To update the reports open them in CR XI and save them in the CR XI format. Please be sure to keep back up copies of the original CR 4.6 reports.
Your VB application will have to be migrated to a different component. The Crystal OCX (crystl32.ocx) that was available in CR 4.6 was retired after CR8.5. In order to run your CR XI reports you'll need to migrate your VB6 application to the Report Designer Component (RDC) object model.
There are a number of documents that will help you with the code migration. Here are some links:
[Migrating to the RDC in CR9|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/105181db-cb1d-2b10-38a4-b0a30e268e40] - applies to CR 9/10/11/11.5
Upgrading from CR4.6 to CR9/10/11/11.5 is essentially the same. The above document was written for CR9 specifically; however it will work for CR10/11/11.5. You will have to make minor adjustments to account for DLL file name changes (e.g. crviewer9.dll in CR9 vs. crviewer.dll in CR10/11/11.5).
You will also want to review the changes to [database connectivity|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/0003c6cc-891e-2b10-678e-8b1a2dd96556] at runtime from earlier versions of Crystal Reports compared to CR XI.
Here's the link to the [Online SDK Library|https://boc.sdn.sap.com/developer/library] - this includes the RDC SDK.
[RDC 10 Sample Applications|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006012702008E/rdc10_smpl.exe].
Please note that the RDC has been retired with the release of Crystal Reports 2008. Crystal Reports XI Release 2 (v11.5) is the last version of Crystal Reports that is shipping with the RDC. While you can migrate your application to the RDC for CR XI or CR XI R2 you may want to start planning for future releases of your application since the RDC will no longer be available. The upgrade path for the RDC is to move to the CR .NET object model. Here is the [RDC Statement of Direction|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/80bd35e5-c71d-2b10-4593-d09907d95289].
I hope this help.

Best practice for Smartview when upgrading from Excel 2003 to Excel 2007?

Does anyone know the best pratice for Smartview when upgrading from Excel 2003 to Excel 2007?
Current users have Microsoft Excel 2003 with Smartview 9.3.1.2.1.003.
Computers are being upgraded to Microsoft Excel 2007.
What is the best pratice for Smartview in this situation?
1. Do nothing with Smartview and just install Excel 2007.
2. Install Excel 2007 and then uninstall and reinstall Smartview
3. Uninstall Smartview, Install Excel 2007, and then install Smartview
4. Somthing else??
Thanks!

We went with option 1 and it worked out fine. Be aware that SV processes noticeably slower in Excel 2007 than 2003. Many users were/are unhappy with the switch. We haven't tested SV v11 yet, so I'm not sure if it has improved performance with Excel 2007 or not (hopefully it does).

Failed to upgrade from ERP 6.0 EHP4 to EHP5

Dear SAP Gurus,
we are running ERP 6.00 with EHP4 (HCM-component) based on Windows 2003
SP2 X64 and SQL Server 2005 SP4 (64-bit).
We are using SAP Kernel Unicode 7.01 PL 133 (64-bit).
We intend to upgrade from EHP4 to EHP5.
Upon running SAPehpi, we encountered issue which stopped us from
proceeding with the upgrade.
Case 1: Direct upgrade to 605
The upgrade failed on PREP_INPUT/VERSCHK_INI with error message: The
following combination is not supported (SAP_APPL 600, SAP_BASIS 701,
SAP_ABA 701).
Case 2: Upgrade SAP_APPL component from 600 to 604 (due to the above
error message)
The upgrade failed on PREP_INPUT/VERSCHK_INI with error message:
Release '701' of component SAP_BASIS is too new.
Case 3: upgrade via SAINT is not supported by SAP. When uploading the
Stack XML file, we got error saying that the stack is not supported.
Attached is the complete list of the current SP Level of Installed
components.
Please advise on how we can perform the upgrade to EHP5.
Many thanks in advance.
regards,
Denny

The thing is Solution Manager was able to produce the XML file during the previous upgrade to 604 (the one without SAP_APPL 604).
So how can it not be supported by SAP?
If it is not supported by SAP, how can I proceed from here?

Upgrading from Forms 6i to Forms 10g

Does Forms 10g support direct upgradation from 6i to 10g version or have to go step wise from 6i to 9i and 9i to 10g. Also suggest ways of handling the run time errors arising. Does Oracle provide some patches to facilitate a smooth transition fromo 6i to 10g.

Thanx Grant,
Can you also suggest as to what complications can arise as many built-ins in 6i have been discarded in 10g. Does the pathes available take in most part of the work in upgradation. I have around 1000 forms in 6i on a complex finance & insurance sectar. Will be pleased if you can suggest the best way of migration.
As suggested the bath mode will be the likely option as individually compiling each .FMB would be combursome.
Are there some specific de-bugging tools available.
