Upgrading to ABAP 7.02

Hi all,
Can someone shed some light on the various options to upgrade from ABAP 700 to ABAP 702, preferably with their pros and cons?
Thanks and Regards,
Jinesh.

Are you talking about NetWeaver 7.0 to 7.02? If so, I would expect that you're going to 7.01 with ECC 6 EhP4 first.

Check SVERS table exist or not ?

Error while upgrading NW04s ABAP from sp7 to sp8

Hi,
I installed NW04s in my system and its ABAP stack is upgraded to sp7. When i was upgrading its SAP_BASIS support package to sp8, i got the following error.
Error in phase: IMPORT_PROPER
Reason for error: TP_BUFFER_INCONSISTENCY
Return code: 0008
Error message: Pkgs. in queue don"t exist in the tp buffer (e.g. SAPKB70008)
This phase imports all Repository objects and table entries. It may terminate for the following reasons:
○       TP_INTERFACE_FAILURE: The tp interface could not be called.
○       TP_FAILURE: The tp program could not be executed. For more information, read the SLOG or ALOG log files.
○       TP_STEP_FAILURE: A tp step could not be performed successfully. You can find the source of error in the relevant log, for example, in the import log.
If a tp step 6, N or S is in the termination message, it is a step independent of the transport request. The corresponding logs are contained in the log overview under the node Import steps not specific to the transport request.
You can also find these logs in the following files in the log subdirectory of your transport directory (usually /usr/sap/trans/log):
tp step 6: P<YY><MM><DD>.<SID>
tp step N: N<YY><MM><DD>.<SID>
tp step S: DS<YY><MM><DD>.<SID>
To display these files, run report RSPUTPRT or call transaction AL11.
Can anyone help me to resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance.

I have the similar problem to yours with tp_buffer_consistency at the xpra_phase when I was runing SAINT on a SAP R/3 Service Tool (RTCTOOL) with SAPKITAR19.
Shall you confirm what you have solved your problem are:
1) You have removed registers from the file /usr/sap/trans/buffer/SID which contains the troubled register, an example SAPKNNNNNN. First make a backup of that file before removing registers.
2) You have removed registers from the two tables: PAT01 (PATCH=SAPKNNNNNN), and PAT03 (PATCH=SAPKNNNNNN)
3) Invoke the trx SAINT
4) Installation package-->load package --> from application server
5) Select the uploaded SP and click the button Continue.
6) Anything else.
Appreciate in hearing from your input.

Kernel upgrade having ABAP+JAVA instance

Hi team,
Can you provide the procedure how to kernel upgrade for our windows system having ABAP+JAVA instance releae version 700.
Provide the links, your replies are very helpful.
Regards
Bhaskar

Hi Bhaskar,
You can use JSPM too in this case. Otherwise if you want to do it the old fashioned way:
> Stop SAP, Database, Saprouter, listeners and all the
related services.
> The location of the kernel is /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/exe/run
> Take a backup of the files in this location and take a
print out of the ls -ltr (This is needed to give the new files the
correct permissions)
> Overwrite all the new files to the kernel location. The
purpose is to retain the old files for which the new version is not
available.
> The permissions of the file need to be changed as they
were before.
> Restart all the processes. The kernel upgrade is
now done. System
> status will give the newer version of the kernel.>
>
disp+work
Will give the
new Kernel version.

EHP4 upgrade question - ABAP Stack and EA-HR

Hi Experts,
My ABAP stack in the ECC system is at 7.01 SP3.
My EA-HR module is at 600 SP38.
We want to upgrade EA-HR to 604 (EHP4) so that we can benefit from some of the MSS functionality but the question is, what ABAP stack level do I need to be on? Is my current version ok or do I need to upgrade?
Can anyone shed light for me on this matter?
Best,
MM

Hi MM,

SAP Upgrade issue ABAP-PI Proxy error

Hi Guys,
We have an issue in SAP R3 system after the recent SAP upgrade.
The proxy programs in R3 were using SAP Standard structure in their development.
Standard structure : SAPPLCO_LOG_ITEM_CODE (TYPE SAPPLCO_LOG)
And so after the upgrade, There seems to be a new field added in the above standard structure and hence causing mismatch between the proxy program developed internal structure to the SAP standard structure.
We come to understand that this Standard structure is being used from SAP PI, Software component SAP APPL.
So SAP PI has old SAP standard structure and SAP R3 has new standard structure with additional field.
Can you please suggest how to overcome this issue. We have also raised an OSS ticket to SAP.
Kind Regards
Rajesh.S

Hi Harald,
Thank You for the information. I was able to download SAP_APPL 6.06 content from SAP service market place. Here We have a doubt before importing the new SAP APPL content. In market place downloads under SAP_APPL 6.06 we were able to see few many database downloads with last changed at 3.04.2014.
Our EHP upgrade for SAP_APPL is 6.06 , SP level 0007. So we should download / import the highlighted content version (SAPAPPL60607) in the screenshot from market place or download / import the latest change under SAP_APPL 6.06 download patch ? Kindly let us know.
Best Regards,
Rajesh.S

Hi suma,
To make custom programs with unicode standards,
first step--> goto program attributes, then activate "Unicode checks active" checkbox.
second step--> use "UCCHECK" transaction, give your custom program name, it will displays all unicode errors and obsolete function modules(upload,download).
third step--> its more adviceble to use this transaction eventhough u fixed all errors in second step, use "SLIN" transaction, give your program name and execute, it will displays all type of errors and warnings related to that program. As per the client's scope fix the errors and warning.
I worked for over 14 upgrade projects. The above process is the standard process followed by SAP.
Still you are looking for any information related to upgrade please feel free to contact me.

Couldnt upgrade the java stack after upgrading the abap to ehp1

Hi
I have upgarded the system to ehp1 but i couldnt continue to upgarde the java stack to 18th patch.The reason is it coudlnt find the file JSPM02P-2-20002796.SCA. I couldnt find this file . i couldnt find only this file JSPM02P_4-20002796.SCA . I tried to put this file in inbox and tried to run the jspm but it is not recognizing this as a valid file and its expecting JSPM02P-2-20002796.SCA. I couldnt find this file can anyone suggest me where i could find this file.
Thanks and Regards
MA.Sreenivasan

When you download the files, be sure to select "Save As File", which next to the "Add to Download Basket" button. Copy that SPStab.xml file to your EPS/in directory. Without that, it won't recognize the files even if they are there.

Upgrading a kernel in ABAP or Java - what is correct for 7.01 and 7.1

There are a couple ways to upgrade a kernel depending on ABAP or Java.
I want to know what is the best safest and approved way to upgrade an ABAP kernel based on 7.01 and 7.1
I don't want to miss with temporary softlinks because our consultant did that and forgot abut it, which cause a huge problem.
This is a UNIX 64 bit OS.
Thanks
Weyland Yutani

Hi,
For doing ABAP kernel upgrade there plenty of resources available. You can refer the following guide for a comprehensive overview with step by step instruction of Kernel upgrade process :-
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70d8838d-cb8f-2c10-7ab8-d1504670fbb8?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true
Just make sure to check the following points before starting the upgrade :-
1) Take full backup of existing Kernel directory
   After taking full backup of old kernel directory, check the total no. of files in the backup kernel directory by #ls -al|wc -l & cross check same files exist in the orginal kernel directory. This should be done before starting actual kernel upgrade - just to ensure that after wiping out current kernel dir and then after applying new kernel if there is any issue & you have restore the old kernel then you are not missing any files.
2) Check the softlinks in the existing kernel directory & keep a screenshot so that after kernel upgrade you can create those links.
Use #ln -s <remote filesystems to be linked> <local file at Kernel directory>
    e.g : 3> ln -s a b
     sapsys 1 Aug 26 09:34 b -> a
    Thus if you wish then you can create those softlinks manually. This may be required for brtools, TSM etc related softlink depending on your scenario you can recreate the links.

SAP ECC ABAP STACK UPGRADE

Hi Everyone,
I am new to this fascinating world of BASIS and to this forum. This is my second post:
The situation is I need to upgrade the ABAP stack of my ECC 6.0 (dual stack) system from patch level 14 to 17.
Thus now, what are the things that I should need to consider, that is:
Do I need any Kernel Upgrade, or individually the component upgrades will do?
Any SPAM upgrade required?
Please do reply and if you know any thread having the same question and solutions please give me the URL of it.

Hi,
1. For patching the system, ensure you have a complete backup of the system.
2. Its safer and best to patch the kernel always before starting patching so that your tp and R3Trans are updated.
3. Patch the tool SPAM to the latest level before starting the patching of the other components.
4. Now you can patch the rest of the components either individually or put all of them in 1 stack and patch them at 1 go.
For further info, refer to http://service.sap.com/instguides->SAP Netweaver-> < Release of your system>-> Maintainence-> SP guides.

Upgrade of CRM 5.0 abap and java

Hi,
I have to upgrade CRM 5.0 to CRM 7.0 with EhP1. In my system landscape, CRM 5.0 ABAP (CRA) and CRM 5.0 Java (CRJ) are installed on different servers. CRJ is a portal available for end user for which CRA is acting as backend server and database. I have experienced that when we install CRM 7.0, installer automatically creates 2 seperate instances each for abap and java. I am not able to presume what exactly will happen in this kind of upgrade. My doubts are:
1. Will this upgrade CRA (abap) and CRJ (java) seperately on different server? and i connect them as i am doing currently (CRA being the UME for CRJ)?
2. While upgrading CRA, upgrade tool will ask the path of CRJ and both the instance will be upgraded simultaneously. And CRJ will behave as web ui instance after upgrade.
3. CRA will be upgraded and a new instance for WebUI will be created (let us call it CRW) and i will connect CRW with CRJ for all practical purposes? where CRJ will act as portal for CRW.
Kindly help.
Thanks.

Hi,
> 1. Will this upgrade CRA (abap) and CRJ (java) seperately on different server? and i connect them as i am doing currently (CRA being the UME for CRJ)?
Yes. You need to upgrade both the servers separately. You need not to reconnect it as both the systems are already connected with each other.
> 2. While upgrading CRA, upgrade tool will ask the path of CRJ and both the instance will be upgraded simultaneously. And CRJ will behave as web ui instance after upgrade.
> 3. CRA will be upgraded and a new instance for WebUI will be created (let us call it CRW) and i will connect CRW with CRJ for all practical purposes? where CRJ will act as portal for CRW.
>
No, new instance will be created. You need to upgrade CRA and CRJ separately. WEBUI will be automatically upgraded.
Thanks
