Upgrading ESS/MSS

Hello,
I am on NW04s ESS6.0 ESS/MSS SP10 and want to upgrade to SP10 ...I want to know certain things about it..
1) How many new tracks do we need to create.?
2) Do we need to manually move the changes from the old track.?
3) Are there any other requirements for the Upgrade process.?
Any help would be highly appreciated.

Hi Subash,
sorry for the slow reply. Generally when upgrading you already have one track which contains all your mods. SAP says three for this reason:
Old Track: contains all the mods, no changes here used for comparison
Actual code Track; Contains all the new code, no mods, this allows overwriting            of deployed version should something go wrong after making changes. sort of a backup version to start from.
Implementation Track: Contains all the new code with mods, this is your final DCs that will go to production.
Yes, there is a one-to-one mapping with Development configuration file and track.
Regards,
Raj

    hi,
    wen you have to go for an upgrade,
    please go through the stack information(for previous and new).
    service.sap.com/sp-stacks -> SAP support packages -> select the sp-stack like SAP ERP 6.0..
    click on this, you can get the stack related information for all the dependent components . also, you can get the related notes also.

  • What is the exact procedure of upgrading the ESS/MSS

    Hi,
    We intially started with EP 7.0 sp13 and ESS/MSS version 600 SP10.Later on we upgraded to EP 7.0 SP13 and ESS/MSS to SP13.
    we have done lot of customisations to SAP ESS/MSS standard code and we did them again when we upgraded ESS/MSS.
    Again we are planning to upgrade Portal to another version .so here my doubts are
    1.Is it necessary to upgrade ESS/MSS everytime we upgrade portal(because ESS/MSS version = Portal version - 3 )
    2.Do we need to do all the customisations again manually?
    3.Is there anyway we can create copy of all the DCs which we want to customise and then do the customisations so that we dont need to redo all the work whenever we upgrade ESS/MSS
    Thanks

    Bala,
    Usually, there are 3 (+1 ) types of patches that are done:
    1. Kernel and JDK. This one is easy, can be done often. Affects perfomance, but rarely functionality.
    2. Netweaver SPS. This one will update basic functionality, but in most cases will not affect ESS. Also can be done every 3 month.
    3. ERP SPS. This one will affect ESS. You will be required to go through the cookbook. Backend HR component versions must match EP XSS. It makes sense, because EP XSS will call backend BAPIs and they should be of the same versions. Not very often I see ERP SPS applied every 3 month. One of the reasons is that user UI screens and procedure may change and the cycle of testing and user training rarely fits into 3 month.
    +1. EHP, Enancement Packs. This is SAP effort to give a more granular aproach to functional changes. Basically your functional team will decide if it needs a new function and it will be possible to implement and activate it. If it happens that the function is HR and it affects XSS and it brings a new version, then yes, you will need to do XSS merge-update. It will be clear from the EHP docs. How often to do ESS related EHP? See 3. Keep in mind that EHP docs may give an impression that there is no impact until you "turn on" new function, but it is true for ABAP (with some exceptions), less so on the Java side.

  • ESS MSS Upgrade to 2004s SP 11

    Hi ,
    Currently we are on 2004s SP9 and intend to move to SP11.
    I have a couple of questions here. WE are using mySAP ERP BP for ESS and MSS with SP 6 ( i.e compatible with 2004s SP9). We made lot of changes to some web dynpro code and went live 2 months back. Now as part of the upgrade if the basis team installs SP8 for BP's ESS and MSS(2004s SP11) through JSPM/SDM on the EP J2EE engine, will it override all the custom code that we have done? I surely guess so. In that case do we not install SP8 for BP's ESS and MSS through JSPM but rather follow the 4 track methodology for upgrades and upgrade ESS MSS through NWDI rather than JSPM?
    I am sorry if i had confused you guys, this is the first time we doing the upgrade after go-live .. hence the basic doubts.
    Any note or reference for upgrade startegy will be pretty useful
    thanks alot in advance
    regards
    rajk

    Hi Raj,
    You will deploy the latest component of the ESS/MSS through the JSPM. So while deploying the component in JSPM you also have to select the NWDI control according the runtime system. JSPM will then recognize which component is managed by the NWDI. ESS/MSS modified component and will only be transported to the EPS transport directory without deployment, where as the unmodified component (like PUCI_GP) is deployed.
    The other way of updating is also through the NWDI where you even do not use the JSPM. So if you do not want your custom code to override by the new SP level, then you need to go through NWDI.
    Thanks & regards

  • Upgrading to EHP 4.0 - Have few queries on ESS/MSS, Erecruitment.

    Hi,
    We are trying to upgrade our portal to EHP 5.0. We have ESS/MSS and few webdynpro java and webdynpro abap applications on the portal. These are the few queries I have
    1) ESS services : employee search, personal data, LMS(Webdynpro Java) are on EHP 3 as of now. Will the applications remain the same even if we upgrade to  EHP5?
    2) ESS travel management(Webdynpro ABAP) are on EHP 2 as of now. Will this application remain the same even if we upgrade to EHP 5?
    3) E Recruitment (BSP) is on EHP 3 Will this application remain the same even if we upgrade to EHP 5?
    4) We have MSS services: ERec Manager and Appraisal. Will these services affect if we upgrade to EHP 5?
    4) We have few custom applications in Webdynpro abap and webdypro java developed on portal. Will these effect if we upgrade to EHP 5?
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Priyanka.

    Hi Eric,
    Thanks for your prompt reply.
    Can you let me know which version of ESS/MSS and E-Recruitment business packages are applicable for the above version? And are these versions of ESS/MSS available in market now? Otherwise we can suggest our client to go for a upgrade to EHP 4.
    Appreciate your input.

    Well i would recommend to use lates BP cause lot has changed from ECC 500 to ECC 600
    and they wont be supported and you ll definately get support mismatch here

  • Upgrade path for ESS/MSS business package while upgrading to ECC 6.0

    Hi All,
    We have a scenario where SAP Enterprise Portal 7.0 SP 18 is currently running with SAP ECC 4.6C. SAP ECC is being upgraded to SAP ECC 6.0 and consequently we have a requirement to upgrade to the latest ESS/MSS business package. In a scenario like this what is SAP recommended approach for ESS/MSS upgrade? My questions are
    1) Is a direct upgrade of ESS/MSS possible? If this is possible, then how will it be done on a production system with reduced or no downtime?
    2) Should ESS/MSS business package be deployed and configured afresh after removing/undeploying the existing version of ESS/MSS business package? If this is the case how would the earlier customizations be restored?
    3) Is there any other approach?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Suresh,
    In my openion, it will be good if you go for new implementation, reason being as you mentiond ECC versionyou are on is 4.6c all the ESS applications are ITS based now a days all the application/iView for ESS are Webdynpro for Java or WD for ABAP based.
    Till the time the new portal ready you can continue with your currect one (No down time require).
    Most of the people are using this way. (Check the SDN for more details).
    Also chcek this migration guide, which will give you the basic steps required.

  • Wdjava  ess/mss code incompatibility while deploying in portal upgradation

    Hi Everybody,
    As part of our requirement,I have  customized a standard ESS/MSS package and deployed in the current portal version and its working fine..Now when we are going for up gradation and deploying the code in the higher version of portal ,there is a incompatibility in the code.
    So  can any body help me in this issue.like  what needs to done ,so that my customized code also works fine in the higher version of portal during upgradation
    Regards
    RRay

    This happens because your NWDS development environment JRE version mismatch the portal JRE version.
    Check which version you have in portal.
    Compile your code in NWDS with same version of JRE.
    In NWDS refer

  • ESS/MSS Upgrade

    Hello ,
    We are on EP7.0 ECC6.0 and about to upgrade to stack 11 which has ESS/MSS SP11 .....what is the procedure now to upgrade to SP11 for ESS/MSS using JSPM so that it does not overwrite our custom changes done in the old track.....
    Any help would be highly appreciated.

    Hello Mike,
    Thanks for the reply. I have followed this note and also the Cookbook attached to it ....after doing all this and redoing the custom changes in the new track and moving it to the DEV system ....when I goto the System Components and check for the SP of the SAP_ESS component ...it says SP0 instead of SP11...
    Please help..

  • NetWeaver Portal and ERP 6.0: BI, ESS/MSS and full Portal on one machine

    Hello,
    with ERP 6.0 you need a EP Core Portal for BI Java. An other EP Core Portal for HCM ECC/MSS. The iViews from this portal you integrate in the main portal via federated portal. But in this scenario i need to much portals and have a lot of maintenance costs (administration overhead for evry portal). For a small Customer i will build one Portal for all. It is possible e.g. to use the BI Portal with ESS/MSS and as full portal?
    Best regards,
    Patrick

    Hi,
    So you would like one BI installation with both the ABAP and the Java-stack with the full BI-functionallity and additionally the XSS-component and set it up to work against the ECC ABAP-only system ?
    I think the scenario would actually work, but:
    1) You might get future problems if you want to upgrade your BI-system and not the ECC-system.
    Is it possible to run the old XSS-components in the new java-stack ?
    2) You might get future problems if you want to upgrade your ECC-system and not the BI-system.
    What if the new version of the XSS-component demands certain java-components which the BI-system do not have.
    So my recommendation is still to run the java-stack on both systems.
    ECC with the XSS-java-components and BI with the Bi-java-components.
    This way you do not lock yourself into a corner and each system can be upgrade independent of the other.

  • ESS/MSS applications from ECC 6.0 on a SL as ECC 5.0 + EP7.0

    Hi all,
    We have a "strange" situation on the client and I need you help or guidance.
    We are implementing Portal and ESS/MSS on a system landscape as ECC 5.0 for the back-end system and EP 7.0 as front-end.
    My problem is if the ESS/MSS iViews which have the data source as ECC 6.0 or higher are available and if yes how their behavior will be on such environment? We should expect errors or bugs or lousing functionalities or restrictions on it?
    Perhaps the first point will be if we can implement them? The client wants specific applications like time accounts or appraisals. I should mention to you the client has decided to make an upgrade of the back-end system to ECC 6.0 but is not decided yet when. In the meantime we already start the project for ESS/MSS base on the current system landscape.
    What do you think?
    Any help will be highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    Eugen

    I got my answer. You may implement XSS applications as for ECC 5 even on EP 7 but you'll face limitations in functionalities and face lots of tech issues and abnormal behavior from xss applications. Not the ideal system landscape.

  • Where Web Dynpro Java version of Adobe Forms are used in ESS MSS

    Hi, SDN Expert.
    I am working on research the use of Adobe Interactive Forms in the current processes of HCM ESS MSS.
    We are on ECC5.0, EP7.0, and ESS MSS SP21. We are in the midst of upgrading to ECC6.0.

  • EHP with ESS/MSS

    Hello everyone,
    We have a ERP 6.0 (based on NetWeaver 7.0) and a SAP Portal 7.0 with ESS/MSS. We now need to update the ERP to EHP6 or EHP7, my question is regarding SAP Portal, do we need to upgrade the Portal to 7.3x or 7.4? Where can I validate this dependencies?
    Best regards,
    JAM

    Hi JA,
    The line means you can use existing SAP Portal and you can update you SPS level to latest version in-order to support the ECC6 with EHP7 rather than upgrading Portal version to NW7.40.
    "you can do a SP update in your  portal to get a equivalence level and get the newer version of SAP ECC backend supported"
    And the equivalence of SP level is as below which you can find for ECC version:-
    EhP7 SPS 06 -- EhP6 on Hana SPS08 -- EhP6 SPS13 -- EhP5 SPS13 -- EhP4 SPS16 -- EhP3 SPS15 -- EhP2 SPS16 -- SAP ERP 6.0 SPS26
