Upgrade of Sourcesystem SAP EHP3 SAP ECC 6.0 to SAP EHP4 SAP ECC 6.0

Hi,
I noticed there is a lot of questions on the testing procedures for BI side when Upgrading the source system from R/3 to ECC 6.0. But noticed there aren't many posts on when doing Ehancement Packs. But I believe the process would be more or less the same?
My project is doing an Upgrade of SAP EHP3 SAP ECC 6.0 Stack03 to SAP EHP4 SAP ECC 6.0 Stack07. BI Side is also upgraded, but I am more interested in the impact of the Upgrade's Source System (ECC) on BI.
I believe the amount of impact is less as compared to an upgrade from R/3 to ECC, but there still should be impact to BI somehow.
Basically, from what I have researched, there correct procedure is as below:
Pre-Upgrade
1 - Lock users in ECC
2 - ensure that the Delta queue is cleared in RSA7
3 - check the PI in ECC6.0 ( What is PI???)
3 - stop all loads from BW
Post-upgrade
1 - Check Source System connections
2 - replicate all data sources in ECC (when I do a check connection in RSA1 I get the message "No metadata upload since upgrade" which I believe is due to this step not done yet? Is it ok to replicate all datasources??)
3 - activate all rules thru program (RS_TRANSTRU_ACTIVATE_ALL. Is it ok to activate all transfer strucs?)
4 - run Init w/o Data Transfer for deltas
5- run and then check extraction for full & delta loads
Appreciate if I could your expert inputs on the procedures above? Maybe a more detailed step by step procedure or comments are most welcomed.
Thanks.

Additional information:
I start the upgrade from SAP ECC 6.0 with a dual stack.
SAP advised me to download the following file to start the upgrade
SAPehpi_68-10005800.SAR from the SMP
Download path: Browse our Download Catalog--> Additional Components --> Upgrade tools --> SAP EHPI Installer --> SAP EHP Installer 7.00.
Start the upgrade without the jce_policy_zip extension. This was written in note 1302772 .
Have more luck with it.

Upgrade SAP from ECC 6.0 EHP4 to ECC 6.0 EHP7

Dear all,
We are using ECC 6 ERP 4 SP5 with oracle 10.2g and Netweaver 7.0 EHP1.
Other system release
CRM 7.0 SP5 & CRM JAVA Release – NW 701 SP3
BI Release – NW 701 SP5 BI CONT 7.04 & BI JAVA Release – NW 701 SP3
We are planning to upgrade ECC 6 ERP4 SP5 to ERP 6 ERP7 SP1, Could you please suggest for compatibility version for CRM & BI with ECC6 EHP7
And any document for EHP7 up gradation procedure and what is the impact or change made in system after upgrade from EHP4 to EHP7
Regards,
Ajay

Hello
The nightmare is going on... this point has been discussed a year ago (Re: Comapatability between EHP7 and SAP Netweaver BI 7.0 EHP1) and the conclusion was that you only need to upgrade HUB satellite systems... and a BW system is not an HUB.
The only possible issue would be if the java stack of the BW system is used directly by the ECC system.
Did not find any information on the necessity to upgrade the CRM, so I think you should keep it as it is.
This are even getting worst because sometime sap support (OSS) are not able to provide clear answers (Interoperability btw ERP 6.0 EhP7 and SAP NW/BW 7.0)

Strategy beyond SAP Business Suite 7 Innovations 2011 - Landscape Governance - SCN Wiki
1388258 - Version Interoperability within the SAP Business Suite
In order to use the new JAVA EE 5 capabilities and benefit from the improvements of SAP NW 7.3 the version interoperability range has been moved upwards for SAP Business Suite core applications with Release to Customer (RTC) from 2013 onwards.
This means that SAP NetWeaver Systems 7.30 or higher are required if SAP Business Suite applications are based on or operating with those central Systems (Enterprise Portal, Business Warehouse, Process Integration).
Customers wishing to utilize SAP Business Suite applications with RTC from 2013 onwards, that require one of these central SAP NetWeaver Systems, will have to upgrade their central NetWeaver Systems to 7.30 or higher before upgrading e.g. to SAP Enhancement Package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0.

ECC TO SRM-MDM CATALOG THROUGH SAP PI

We have a scenario where we are sending data from ECC to SRM-MDM Catalog through SAP PI and data is coming from ECC through proxy and sending to SRM u2013MDM catlog through file adapter. In ESR part we have used SAP defined standard service interfaces (CatalogueUpdateNotification as sender interface and MDMInfoRecordDataTransmission as a receiver interface). The mapping used is also standard one.
Now we have got requirement to send the data for vendor mat no, manufacturer field of info records from ECC to SRM-MDM catlog. But we are unable to find out these two fields in standard interfaces/messages. Can anybody guide us how to add these fields in the current data types or is there any other standard interfaces we can use.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Shiv,
Many thanks for your reply.
Since we're not using XI / PI scenario and this is an upgrade from SRM 5.5 to SRM 7, Iu2019m using the same approach that was already used in SRM 5.5 with CCM 2.0.
The idea is that the catalogue and all the records maintained need to be associated to a contract. So, I add the contract ID and the correspondent contract item in the import file, in addition to the supplier name, product ID, price information and so on. I mapped the contract ID with the field contract price.
In relation to the price information fields, as I want it to be visible for any user that accesses the product catalogue, I tried different approaches:
1.Using OCI Price information u2013 amount, currency, price base quantity and price base quantity UoM;
2.Using OCI Price contract u2013 amount, currency, price base quantity and price base quantity UoM;
The first approach didnu2019t work very well, as I was not able to see price information when accessing the catalogue. I could only see it once I transfer the items to the SC. In addition, this approach had one problem. The products were displayed but it was not possible to select the items one by one. To do that I needed to select all the items of the catalogue and after that the detail of the contract ID was displayed in every item, allowing me to choose the items that I want to select to my SC.
The second approach was better as the information was visible when accessing the SC and I was able to select all the items, one by one, as it should be. The main problem of this approach was that Iu2019m getting errors in the SC when the materials have stock u2013 u201CInterface data contains errorsu201D. Or alternatively, if the items didnu2019t have stock, the SC was possible, but when I tried to create a PO from that SC, It simply does not work.
So, can someone help me? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Andreia

Setting required to create Business partner record in SAP GTS for the customer who transferred from the SAP ECC system

Dear Experts,
Can you please suggest me list of activities require to automatically create Business partner record in SAP GTS for the customer who transferred from the SAP ECC system .
i.e If I create the customer master record and transfer the same CMR to SAP GTS , what are the setting requires to maintain in SAP GTS sytem to automatically create the Business partner .
Ram

Hi Raghu,
Below are the main settings required to enable you to transfer Customer Master Data to SAP GTS. Please note that their is a difference between, Customer Master Record and Customer Master Data in terms of data and for GTS, we transfer Customer Master Data. Hence, below are the settings required:-
In SAP ECC system:-
Activate the change pointers for Customer Master Data apart from enabling basic connection settings.
Schedule a job to run at regular intervals to transfer all the customer master data for the available change pointers to the SAP GTS system
2. In SAP GTS system:-
Maintain the Mapping for ECC Customers to SAP GTS Business Partners in the General settings area of the SPRO in SAP GTS system
Ensure that the Number range is maintained for those GTS Business Partners.
Also, some time you may be required to maintain the organisational structure to ensure full working.
I hope this will be helpful to you.

Aman

About to put EHP4 onto ECC 6 - are EHP's for other SAP systems required?

Hi All,
In our landscape we have ECC 6, Solution Manager, SRM, BI and Portal. we are about to start a project to put EHP4 onto the ECC 6 system, as a pre-requisite to this we are also putting EHP1 onto our Solution Manager system.
I have been told that we may also need to put EHP's onto all the other systems in our environment, does anyone else know if this is necessary as I assumed that the systems would still be compatable without the EHP's on SRM, BI and the Portal.
Thanks
Simon

It is not required, but I would recommend it.
I just upgraded to EHP4 in ECC and also applied EHP1 to Solution Manager, XI, BI, and the Portal. This client is still using SRM 5.5 so we just applied Support Packages to it. The systems will still be compatible if you leave them alone, though there may be a few notes that have to be applied for some functionality. But since you are already going to have a maintenance window for ECC, you may as well upgrade the auxiliary systems while you are at it. If it is anything lik ethis environment, the other systems can be upgraded during wait times for the larger ECC system.
We also encountered very few issues related to applying the enhancement packages, so testing was very smooth.

New Functionalities on SAP FI side in SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4 & SAP ERP 6.0 EHP5

1. What are the new functionalities added in SAP ERP 6.0 EHP4 on SAP FI side.
2. What are the new functionalities added in SAP ERP 6.0 EHP5 on SAP FI side.Finally what is difference between EHP4 and EHP5, i mean in the point of SAP FI functioanliy.
In the meantime, please provide me the links where i can get complete information on the new functionalities added on FI side in these Enhancement Packages (ie 4/5).
Yours answers would help me a lot to understand the concept.
Regards
Sree

Enhancements packages contains tens to hunderds of new or changed functionalites (called business functions). After installing an enhancement package you can activate the business functions which can be usefull to you.
To have an idea which business function can be usefull, you can use the business function prediction. Based on the (FI) transactions you use in the system, it gives an advice which business functions in an enhancement package should be activated.

SAP Triversity: Receiving Goods against Purchase Order created in SAP

Hello,
We are working on a SAP Retail scenario where we are using SAP Triversity as our POS and Backoffice solution and SAP IS Retail as backend ERP. We have SAP XI and SAP POS DM (On SAP BW) installed also. We are trying the following scenario:
1. Create a purchase order in SAP
2. Transfer the PO to SAP Triversity via .ORR files (Trasformed through SAP XI)
3. Post GRN against the PO in Triversity Store Manager
4. Do the day end and collect the data of GRN in TLogs (Record type 1 and 1R)
5. Transfer TLogs via XI to POS DM and then to SAP ISR (IDoc type WPUWBW)
We are able to do it upto step 3, but when we do the day end and run the cvtlog utility, the GRN data is not showing in the converted TLog files. My question is: from Triversity, Is it not possible to transfer GRN data for Purchased Orders that has been transferred electronically? If it is possible, can anyone please point out what steps are we missing out?
Thanks and Sincere Regards,
Amitabha

Hi Amitabha,
If I understand this correctly, you are completing the Goods Receipts at the Store Manager Application, correct?
Then again, when EOD is performed and the TLOG is sent back to Head Office you are unable to see the Goods Receipt transactions performed at Store Manager application.
Now, something to point out is that every transaction performed in the Store Manager application gets its own txn file, denominated "p5".
Go to the following path at the SERVER:
C:\XPS\sdata
Now, find all the "*.txn" files. You will note the following file:
####p500.txn (where #### is the store number).
All these "p5's" txn files contain the information you need. You just need to make sure that the EODPROC. BAT has the CVTLOG command line instructing to also convert these P5's txn files.
Hope this helped,
Alfredo Carigga

I am a SAP Netweaver Consultant , want to know from all the SAP Experts out here that according to you which are the highest paying modules in SAP ? rank them.

Hi S. Vishwam.
Many peoples says that BI , APO , BW and HANA are the highest paying modules.
But with the passage of time the value of the professional decreases because many people go work with this modules then ...supply and demand = decreases.
Only the people that really knows continue making lots of moneyand the characteristic of these people are the same:
They always read the SDN community of his modules.
They really study the sap help.
They do not want to make lots of money early on.
Hope helped you.

SAP tables used to fetch role names into 'Lookup.SAP.UM.Roles'

SAP User Management Lookup Recon schedule task is used to populate all the Lookup's defined in 'Lookup.SAP.CUA.LookupMappings'. In case of the lookup 'Lookup.SAP.UM.Roles', the description of the SAP Role is populated in Decode value.
In our environment, the SAP role description is changed in the table 'USRSYSACTT' for both LANGU types 'E' and 'D'. However, when we run the schedule job, we are unable to see the updated value of description in the lookup 'Lookup.SAP.UM.Roles'. Please let us know which SAP table is actually being used to fetch the role information in OIM.

Hi,
It seems that the SAP gateway host is deactivated or the TCP/IP port 33xx (where xx corresponds to the system number) is not open.
First try pinging <IP address>. If there is no reply, then Boot SAP Gateway host required.
Check whether the TCP/IP port 33xx is open (where xx corresponds to the system number) and start the SAP gateway
The TCP/IP port is also partially defined in the services file as an sapgw<SID> or sapgwxx entry (where xx corresponds to the system number). The services file is in the Windows directory or in WinNT/System32/drivers/etc.
Hope this helps.

Can SAP learning hub be helpful to me in getting SAP certification in India?

Hello Friends,
I came to know about SAP Learning and found a very flexible for learning. As a working professional I found it very suitable for me to learn SAP at a time I want. But I have few queries which I would like to confirm.
1) Is SAP learning Hub Partner edition available in India?
I have visited SAP training and Certification shop. when I select SAP Learning Hub partner edition it does not shows me any details for India. So is it possible to subscribe SAP Learning Hub editions from SAP India website.I assume that anybody can subscribe to all SAP Learning hub editions and not just SAP partners or Customers or affiliates. If i am wrong please guide me.
2) Can SAP learning hub be helpful to me in getting SAP certification?
Since SAP Learning Hub is cloud-based training solution i found it suitable for me as i can learn it at anytime i want and also pursue my job along with it. i tried to search on SCN and found that for every country SAP has different policies for Training and Certification so I tried to find out using SAP Certification India website that you need to provide a copy of attendance certificate in order to get Associate Certificate.I inquired on helpline whether hours of training taken on SAP learning hub can be considered in training but they are silent on this query as they are not sure whether this can be considered or not. if it is considered how I need to provide the details of hours of training taken to them for certification. So I need to confirm that if i subscribe for SAP Learning Hub will the training taken on SAP learning hub be helpful for me in getting certification and attending Certification Exams.
I would be very grateful if anybody can guide me on this issue.
Regards,
Pratik

Hi Pratik,
to your first point I cannot say anything about it.
to your second point I can
Learning Hub can give you a hand by getting the certification, but it is not so, that you work through the content there and tata... got your certification. You need to work with the content which is explained there and get in touch with colleagues to get your question answered.
In my opinion it is a great initiative to get in touch with new things and to be a platform by side to reach the goals. But again, the learning hub itself won't give you a certification at all and if you pass it you might just have a paper saying something....
Hope I could give you a small clue and good luck with your preferred certification.

Florian

Hi Sahil,
Looks like latest EHP installer concentrate more on downtime minimize strategy. We have only 3 options available as follows.
1. Standard resource use
2. High resource use
3. Manual selection
Please take a look at below thread. Let's see what other experts comment on this.

Hmm...Julius, you have given ME food for thought .. ha ha
Since the business team would decide on the criticality of transactions, I am firing this bold statement keeping the gun of their shoulders Because, this is how we implemented this, based on their feedback!
An initial wind blows saying these are non-critical, however , I will definately research this more (keeping in mind, I have one difficult person to convince )
