Upgrading the support package

Dear All,
We are going to upgrade the support package in R/3 side. Our delta records are running everyday.
Kindly let me know what are the precautions to be taken.
Points will be rewarded
Thanks in advance
Sathiya

Hi,
All V3 jobs to be suspended and all the delta records to be fethed into BW side before the SP implementation.
For this the easier and better approach, if you have so many delta packages for different applications to handle, bette create a Info package group and run it just before the SP implementation twice to bring all the records,
Hope this helps

Everything is according or more than the prerequisite requirement. Is this is a database version problem. Shall i go to upgrade oracle first as of now i am on 9.2.0.6.

Hi,
it will helps hopeful,
Upgradation steps:
1) Convert Data Classes of InfoCubes. Set up a new data class as described in SAP OSS Note 46272.
2) Pay attention to the naming convention. Execute the RSDG_DATCLS_ASSIGN report.
3) Run the report RSUPGRCHECK to activate objects.
4) Upgrading ABAP and JAVA in parallel may cause issues. If there is no custom development on J2EE instance, it is recommended to drop the J2EE instance and re-install the latest J2EE instance after the upgrade.
5) Apply SAP OSS Note 917999 if you include the Support Patch 6 with the upgrade or you will get the error at PARCONV_UPG phase. When you upgrade to a product containing Basis 700, the phase PARCONV_UPG terminates. You included Basis Support Packages up to package level 6 (SAPKB70006) in the upgrade. The job RDDGENBB_n terminates with the error RAISE_EXCEPTION. In addition to this, the syslog contains the short dump TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED. The program SDB2FORA terminates in the statement "LOOP AT stmt_tab". An endless loop occurs when the system creates the database table QCM8TATOPGA.
6) Apply the OSS note 917999 if you get the following error during PARCONV_UPG phase: PARCONV_UPG terminates with TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOG_FAILED

How to find out the support package level applied in BusinessObjects

Hello experts,
I recently installed SBOP 4.0 BI on mi linux server. Can somebody tell me how to know what is the latest SP (support package or Service package??) installed on my Server.
I know the current SP available is SBOP BI Platform Servers 4.0 SP01 Patch 2, but I don't know whether it is installed or not on my server
thank you for your help
regards

Dear,
I had a double check and you are right at least as far I can see the Software Inventory toll came only with WIN installation while you are running your BO on Linux.
What the Software Inventory Tool does it checks files version.
Now I'm not very smart with Linux but can you check file version in Linux?that could be an option (In WIN i check CMC.DLL)
Hope it is an useful info.
Ciao,
Massimo

Activites after Upgrading with Support Package

Hi
This week, we upgraded from 8 to 13 SP level in our SCM 5.0 system. Here i am confused what are all activities we have to do as application support ? My BASIS is not really cooperative/ not fully knowledgeable in this.
After the implementation of 13, first time I accessed RSA1, it said a background job was scheduled with the job BI_TCO_ACTIVATION. and it has spool for 46 pages, with all errors occurred while activating the BW object. All are SAP objects, which we are not using anyway, but It has 0Recordmode object, which is used in our objects
1) How do I fix these activation errors ?
2) Do I need to install the BI content again after the SP upgradation ?
3) Whats SPAU adjustment ? Do we have to do this ? BASIS tells me to look at it. The list has few Question marks, and others are in white status- what does that mean ?
Any Help to understand this processes ?
thanks
Venkat

Upgrading Support Packages

How can I upgrade the support package of MDM 7.1?

It also depends which support pack you are upgrading with.
say
From MDM 7.1 SP06 and up, multiple instances of MDM are supported on the same MDM host machine.
Each instance must be installed separately and requires a different SID and different listening ports.
From MDM 7.1 SP07 and up, MDM can be installed with SSL. This is configured using one of the following
modes: Unencrypted, SSL or Both. The installation type is configurable in the MDM server ini files.
In the Projects preparation phase you must:
1. Adapt all custom applications that use ABAP API, Java API, or CLIX. These programs can be adapted in
advance.
2. Update and test import and syndication maps. This has to be done in the Dev/Test environment.
3. Delete all pre-7.1 ports and maps from the Productive environment. This must be done before any
schema imports are allowed in the 7.1 Productive environment

???? in Menu Bar after upgrading support packages

Hi All,
I have upgraded the support packages from Stack 16 to Stack 20 for my ECC 5.0
Every functionality is fine after the upgrade. But when our consultant tries to check the material in transaction MB52, in the next screen we see some ?????? in the menu items which is supposed to have some options in letters. The functionality is fine when we click on it knowing the option which is supposed to be there.
Assuming that it is the issue with the GUI, we have upgraded our GUI to 710 patch level 4 which is the latest available. Still no luck.
Can anyone help me with this. This is holding our upgrade on quality.
Points will be rewarded.
Thanks
Vijay

Hi All,
I resolved this myself. We just need to get to the screen shere the ???? show up and go to SYSTEM >> STATUS
Under SAP Data, double click on GUI Status > STANDARD
Select the Application Toolbar and click on Activate.
This should solve the issue.
Thanks
Vijay

CRM 5.0 - Middleware issues after Support Package installation

Hi experts,
after upgrading the support package (from version 11 to version 17) we are facing a lot of issues.
1. We need to synchronize custom tables from CRM to R/3.
Can you give me an example on how to configure table SMOFQFIND/CRMMAPTAB for inbound queues CRI*?
We know we have to do but we don't know how.
2. We need to synchronize standard tables from R/3 to CRM.
Do you know we have to do some new configuration in SMOFQFIND/CRMMAPTAB table?
With the older version of SP we were'nt asked to configure those tables.
It has worked up to now
Thank you in advance
Emanuele

Hi,
We have the exact the same issue her using the 0DAT variable to restrict to the system date (in the filter process of the APD).
Did anyone resolve this issue?
Thanks,
