nice.

Hi Mani,
ERROR: The upgrade needs a patched version of R3trans which is
build on 21.06.06 or later.
ERROR: The upgrade needs a patched version of tp with version
number 340.16.05 or higher.
show that the tp and R3trans used by the source 470 system are old.
You should download the latest tp and R3trans for kernel 470, and
replace the old tp and R3trans with the downloaded ones under the 470 kernel directory. The 470 kernel directory is specified by parameter DIR_EXECUTABLE which is usually /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run.
Please note that there is also a kernel directory under /<DIR_PUT>/<SID>/SYS/exe which is for the the target system 700. Please do not replace tp and R3trans under this directory with the ones downloaded for kernel 470.
NO, you cannot update SAP Kernel from 4.7 sr2 to NW7.0 without upgrading even started. Kernel upgrade will be done by SAPup automatically.
With Best Regards

It seems that you have a combined upgrade - ABAP + Java in your system - is that right? If yes, did you start the Java upgrade in parallel?

We are on SCM5.0, and want to upgrade R3 from 4.6B to ECC6, need some input

Hello All,
Can anyone please offer any suggestions/pitfalls/documentation, etc with regards to the following:
We have upgraded our APO3 system to SCM5 1 year ago
We had been using R3 system 4.6b, and everything was working fine.
Now we are going to upgrade 4.6b to ECC6.
When we upgrade to ECC6, do we have to blow away all transaction data in SCM5 and reload since the logical system names for CIF will be different once we move from 4.6b to ECC6?
Can anyone point me in the right direction to the approach to dealing with this from an upgrade perspective?
Regards,
Stella

Hi Stella
I would recommend you to look into the MasterGuide for SAP SCM (see http://service.sap.com/instgudies -> SAP Business Suite Applications -> SAP SCM). This guide deals with the relevant parts of SAP ERP 6.0 also.

Upgrade of SD to SAP ERP 2005, FI stays on SAP R/3 4.0

Hi,
There is a task to upgrade first the SD module to SAP ERP 2005,
but keep the FI module running on SAP R/3 4.0
Is it possible to implement it like this?
Have anyone been dealing with such distributed integration before?
Best regards
Maxim

Technically you can upgrade , but SD is highly integrated with FI like credit check , tax etc . With the upgrade it might change the structure of table the link between both the system might effected. You should talk to the Functional consultants and they can give you the advice

Need to process version 4.5 blocked idoc in SAP ERP ECC6.0

Hello,
We are in the process of upgrading from version 4.5 to ERP 2005.
We have been telling all users that all blocked idocs of version 4.5
have to be cleared before the upgrade as old 4.5 idocs will not be
compatible in ERP2005 version and hence cannot be processed.
say for eg: idocs of message type WMMBXY or DESADV.
Question is - what if we miss few idocs and they remain in blocked status
in 4.5 during the upgrade? Is there anyway we can get those porcessed after thenupgrade or sap standard program to convert such idocs into ERP2005 version or would be just loose those idocs?
Thanks for any help.

Hello Markus,
Apologies for late reply.
Yes we have few changes, like we have Z extensions to the standard message type.
We have set the compatibility mode (3.x).
Do you know what error message would system show after the upgrade when we try to re-process such idocs?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Best Regards,
Wagle.

Security upgrade with Enhancement pack 4 on ECC6

Hi Everyone,
Perhaps you already know SAP is prompoting upgrade via Enahncement packs
so we have upgraded ECC6 with Enhancement packs 4 and now that we have doen this , if you want to create a role in PFCG this prompts tp peform steps 2A to 2C in SU25
my question is
1.Did any one upgrade to EPH4 on ECC6
2.If you did , did you perform the steps ( 2A to 2C in SU25)
3.And also if you perform 2A and 2B , does this already write entires in PFCG ?
Any thoughts ?
Regards
Mark

Hi Mark,
> 1.Did any one upgrade to EPH4 on ECC6
-->not me
> 2.If you did , did you perform the steps ( 2A to 2C in SU25)
--> 2A-C shall be executed after any SP implementation to get the changes from SAP into your tables/roles....
> 3.And also if you perform 2A and 2B , does this already write entires in PFCG ?
-->no
only 2C, but after you have run 2A,2B, youll get your authorizations updated in your roles the next time you use the merge-authroizations function in PFCG

CRM 5.0 Compatibility with backend upgraded to EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0 / NW7.0

Hello,
What are the compatibility issues for EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0 Upgrade with CRM 5.0 ? Are there any OSS notes to address upgrade specific issues?
Following are the System Details:
Upgraded EHP4 FOR SAP ERP 6.0 / NW7.01
Component: SAP_APPL
Release: 604
Support Pack: SAPKH60402
Level: 0002
Existing CRM 5.0
Component: BBPCRM
Release: 500
Support Pack: SAPKU50006
Level: 0006
Thanks,
AG
Edited by: Arijeet Ganguly on Sep 15, 2009 11:49 PM

Hi Amirsd,
You will need to use your Solution manager system to apply EHP 4 to your newly installed system.
Use MOPZ to generate XML file which contains the packages to be downloaded to upgrade your current system to EHP 4.0
After that download EHPI tool from SAP Marketplace and use EHPI tool to install downloaded packages.
It would run in 7 phases including downtime phase.
Let me know if you have any queries. !!!!

Upgrading ECC 5.0 to ERP 6.0 EHP5

Hi -
We are planning to upgrade our ECC5.0(our present ECC 5.0 is on support pack stack 19) to ERP 6.0 EHP5.We are going to give a try in our Sandbox system first.So I have the following questions
1)Can we upgrade our ECC 5.0 directly to ERP 6.0 EHP5 or initially we need to upgrade to ERP 6.0 Stack 18 as available in SMP and then install EHP5?
2)Heard that Kernel will also be upgraded along with ERP 6.0 upgrade and no need to update Kernel separately.Is that correct?
or
3)Do we need to upgrade Kernel NW 7.0 SR3 first then upgrade to ERP 6.0 and finally install EHP 5.
Please let me know.
Thanks & regards,
Nagendra.

2)Heard that Kernel will also be upgraded along with ERP 6.0 upgrade and no need to update Kernel separately.Is that correct?
or
A) Kernel will be upgrade automatically during the System Upgrade. You may wish to update to n or n-1 level available at the marketplace after the upgrade.
3)Do we need to upgrade Kernel NW 7.0 SR3 first then upgrade to ERP 6.0 and finally install EHP 5.
A) Since direct upgrade is possible, please read the master guide. You should be able to figure out the minimum levels required.
