Unicode Check before Upgrade

Hi All,
I need your expert opinion on this.
We are planning to upgrade from 6.20 to ECC 6.
My requirement is to before going for upgrade to ECC 6.i need to check all CUSTOM programs for UNICODE compatiablity in 6.20. If any errors found i need to correct it in 6.20 itself and then go for ECC 6 upgrade.
I like to know whether this will be a right move to check all custom programs before going upgrade to ECC 6.?
Thanks
aRs

HI..
Since you are upgrading from 6.20 to ECC
i think its better to check at this time..
Because from 4.7 ..all versions are Unicode Compatible..
Unicode compatibilty can be checked using Tcode UCCHECK
Thanx .

Info regarding upgrade project

Hi Experts,
am going to join to do upgrade project (ECC6.0) till now i ve worked on up to 4.7 only, so what is required knowledge for upgrade project.
and what is unicode is it required for this?
Thanks in advance.
sudha.

Hi,
ECC 6.0 does not support MDMP installations. For those systems, a Unicode
conversion needs to be done before the upgrade to ECC 6.0. A combined Unicode
conversion / release upgrade is another possibility. In such a project, the system is
upgraded to ECC 6.0 and migrated to Unicode in one step.
All this does not apply to your environment. Non-Unicode, single code pages systems
are still supported in ECC 6.0. You have to option to an upgrade to ECC 6.0 and migrate
to Unicode at a later stage. If you want, you can also do a combined Unicode
conversion / release upgrade project which does both in one step.
I cannot predict the expected downtime as it depends on many different factors such as
the database size, size of the biggest table, number of CPUs and amount of memory in your system.

Unicode Check Active

Hi All,
I want to know about "Unicode Check Active" in ABAP Editor Program Attributes.I don't know anything about this.I want to know
What is Unicode Check Active.
How to Activate this Check Box.
what is meant by Code Pages.
What is UTF-8 UTF-16 & UTF-32.
What is the Use of It.
In ABAP Code the Unicode Check Doesn't Support the some syntax like Open Data set and Describe Lines like that what are all the syntax in ABAP it doesn't support.
Can anybody give me the clear idea about this.So, it will be very helpful to me.This is very urgent.Surely i will reward more points.
Thanks,
Swapna.

Hi,
Unicode Check is one of the latest enhancement in SAP which has been done so as to provide SAP product in almost all the language that is spoken in the world.
A program as to be made Unicode check Active in its attribute so that it can be used in Unicode enabled SAP system.
what is unicode?
From Release 6.10, ABAP supports multi-byte coding for characters in Unicode. Prior to Release 6.10, ABAP used only character sets that were based on single-byte codes such as ASCII and EBCDIC or double-byte codes, such as SJIS and BIG5.
what is unicode enabled program?
A Unicode-enabled ABAP program is a program in which all Unicode checks are effective. Such a program returns the same results in a non-Unicode system as in a Unicode system .In order to perform the relevant syntax checks, you must activate the Unicode flag in the screens of the program and class attributes.
Type of errors in unocode check.
This switch to Unicode affects all statements where an explicit or implicit assumption is made about the internal length of a character. If you use these statements in a program that is designed to exploit the Unicode capabilities of the runtime environment, they must be checked and changed if necessary. Once a Unicode-enabled program has been changed accordingly, it behaves in the same way in both Unicode and non-Unicode systems. You can develop programs in a non-Unicode system (NUS) and then import them into a Unicode system
UNICODE CHECK ACTIVE:
You need to use the transaction UCCHECK.
The report documentation is here
ABAP Unicode Scan Tool UCCHECK
You can use transaction UCCHECK to examine a Unicode program set for syntax errors without having to set the program attribute "Unicode checks active" for every individual program. From the list of Unicode syntax errors, you can go directly to the affected programs and remove the errors. It is also possible to automatically create transport requests and set the Unicode program attribute for a program set.
Some application-specific checks, which draw your attention to program points that are not Unicode-compatible, are also integrated.
Selection of Objects:
The program objects can be selected according to object name, object type, author (TADIR), package, and original system. For the Unicode syntax check, only object types for which an independent syntax check can be carried out are appropriate. The following object types are possibilities:
PROG Report
CLAS Class
FUGR Function groups
FUGX Function group (with customer include, customer area)
FUGS Function group (with customer include, SAP area)
LDBA Logical Database
CNTX Context
TYPE Type pool
INTF Interface
Only Examine Programs with Non-Activated Unicode Flag
By default, the system only displays program objects that have not yet set the Unicode attribute. If you want to use UCCHECK to process program objects that have already set the attribute, you can deactivate this option.
Only Objects with TADIR Entry
By default, the system only displays program objects with a TADIR entry. If you want to examine programs that don't have a TADIR entry, for example locally generated programs without a package, you can deactivate this option.
Exclude Packages $*
By default, the system does not display program objects that are in a local, non-transportable package. If you want to examine programs that are in such a package, you can deactivate this option.
Display Modified SAP Programs Also
By default, SAP programs are not checked in customer systems. If you also want to check SAP programs that were modified in a customer system (see transaction SE95), you can activate this option.
Maximum Number of Programs:
To avoid timeouts or unexpectedly long waiting times, the maximum number of program objects is preset to 50. If you want to examine more objects, you must increase the maximum number or run a SAMT scan (general program set processing). The latter also has the advantage that the data is stored persistently. Proceed as follows:
Call transaction SAMT
Create task with program RSUNISCAN_FINAL, subroutine SAMT_SEARCH
For further information refer to documentation for transaction SAMT.
Displaying Points that Cannot Be Analyzed Statically
If you choose this option, you get an overview of the program points, where a static check for Unicode syntax errors is not possible. This can be the case if, for example, parameters or field symbols are not typed or you are accessing a field or structure with variable length/offset. At these points the system only tests at runtime whether the code is sufficient for the stricter Unicode tests. If possible, you should assign types to the variables used, otherwise you must check runtime behavior after the Unicode attribute has been set.
To be able to differentiate between your own and foreign code (for example when using standard includes or generated includes), there is a selection option for the includes to be displayed. By default, the system excludes the standard includes of the view maintenance LSVIM* from the display, because they cause a large number of messages that are not relevant for the Unicode conversion. It is recommended that you also exclude the generated function group-specific includes of the view maintenance (usually L<function group name>F00 and L<function group name>I00) from the display.
Similarly to the process in the extended syntax check, you can hide the warning using the pseudo comment ("#EC *).
Applikation-Specific Checks
These checks indicate program points that represent a public interface but are not Unicode-compatible. Under Unicode, the corresponding interfaces change according to the referenced documentation and must be adapted appropriately.
View Maintenance
Parts of the view maintenance generated in older releases are not Unicode-compatible. The relevant parts can be regenerated with a service report.
UPLOAD/DOWNLOAD
The function modules UPLOAD, DOWNLOAD or WS_UPLOAD and WS_DOWNLOAD are obsolete and cannot run under Unicode. Refer to the documentation for these modules to find out which routines serve as replacements.
Reward Points if found helpfull..
Cheers,
Chandra Sekhar.

Hello Smriti,
          Exploding a BOM means to display all the components and sub-components for a BOM in a particular transaction (eg) VA01,CO01,ME22N etc..
You can use the SAP FM's depend on the Functionality:
CS_BOM_EXPLOSION               General BOM explosion
CS_BOM_EXPLOSION_EQUI          BOM explosion - initial screen: equipment
CS_BOM_EXPLOSION_MAT           BOM explosion (old version); as of 3.0, use CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2
CS_BOM_EXPL_EQU_V2             BOM explosion for equipment
CS_BOM_EXPL_KND_V1             BOM explosion for material
CS_BOM_EXPL_MAT_V2             BOM explosion for material
CS_BOM_EXPL_PSP_V1
CS_BOM_EXPL_TPL_V1             BOM explosion for functional location
CSS7                           Explode BOM (Document)
CS_BOM_EXPL_DOC_V1             BOM explosion: document sub-assemblies
CS_BOM_EXPL_GNRL2_V1           General BOM explosion: document sub-assemblies
CSSO
CS_SO_MODE_BOM_EXPLOSION
As per Garet in response to your question better talk to the Functional team to get the better underatanding for your requirement.

Going live check for SAP upgrade projects

Hello,
I am interested in "going live check" service and procedures for my upgrade projects. May I find any documentation? Do I have to pay for it?..
Thanking you in advance and a happy new years!
Kind regards
Nilüfer Çalışkan

Hi Nilufer,
The following Input as follows :
Source : http://www.thespot4sap.com/upgrade_guide_v2.pdf
This service is included as part of your annual maintenance fee.
The underlying concept of the SAP GoingLive Functional Upgrade Check is
to ensure smooth operation of your mySAP.com solution by taking action
proactively, before severe technical problems occur.
The GoingLive Functional Upgrade Check is made up of three sessions
(Planning, Analysis and Verification)two sessions (Planning and Analysis)
before the upgrade and the other (Verification) after the upgrade.
Planning Session: This session should be performed as much in advance as
possible when the upgrade is first being considered.
Analyses compatibility for the target release with regards to connected
systems in the Solution Landscape, OS version, DB version, installed Add-
Ons, Plug-ins, Country Versions, and so on.
Analysis Session: It is generally performed two months before the
production upgrade (consider lead time for hardware procurement).
The focus is on resource planning and system configuration.
There is a high-level hardware plausibility check (this is not a hardware
sizing exercise).
Potential resource bottlenecks are identified.
Necessary changes will be recommended to prepare the system for the
productive use of the new release.
38 SAP Upgrade Guide | Simplifying Your Upgrade
Verification Session: Generally performed four to six weeks after the
production upgrade, and the recommendation from the analysis session
implemented.
Comparison of performance with results prior to upgrade
Recommendations on configuration and optimization
More information and ordering . For more information, see the GoingLive
Functional Upgrade Check web page at:
<b>http://service.sap.com/goinglive-fu</b>
To order a GoingLive Functional Upgrade Check, contact SAP Customer Care
Center at least eight weeks prior to the planned upgrade of your production
system.
For customers of value-added resellers (VARs) such as CBS customers in the
US, special conditions apply. Contact your VAR.
Remote Upgrade Service
Remote Upgrade Service is a technical upgrade that is performed by SAP
remote consultants. Pricing is based on the complexity of the customers
environment.
SAP performs the technical upgrade of your system, allowing you to focus on
the functional and training side of the upgrade. You are still responsible for
resolving object conflicts.
See SAP Notes 106447 and 84044.
The Remote Upgrade Service is an attractive option for CBS sized customers
with small or non-existent mySAP Technology group.
For more information see the Remote Upgrade Service web page at:
http://service.sap.com/remoteupgrade
Resources
The following list shows some of the resources you can use as you prepare for
your upgrade of SAP. These resources include:
Your installation partner
Customers and others you have networked with at customer functions and
conferences such as:
ASUG
Hope this Info helps you.

Hi,
first of all upgrade is nothing but
Upgrade is nothing but installing a new version of software which have more functionality earlier version.
in Upgrade mainly three types
1.Technical Upgrade
2.Functional Upgrade
3.Strategic upgrade
Technical upgrade : is a fast upgrade without additional functionality but with minor user interface changes, to ensure business continuity. This upgrade type includes a cleanup of the system without implementing additional functionality, as well as technology upgrade with the opportunity to eliminate not used modifications and custom developments.
Functional upgrade : Is built on the technical upgrade, the functional upgrade provides in addition the opportunity to implement new functionalities in area like FI,HR,Logistics ..,this upgrade type also represents an opportunity to maximize the use of SAP standard functionalities by replacing custom modifications and consolidate instance or systems.
Strategic upgrade: Is driven by enterprise SOA to provide more flexibility to business process innovation. This type of upgrade approach represents a significant technology improvements step by leveraging SAP Net weaver functionality to standardize, adapt, and enable new business processes and optimized scenarios.
The major stages of a technical upgrade can be:
System preparation and stack level patch upgrade u2013 Basis Team
SPDD Phase u2013 ABAP and Functionals
Up gradation of the system u2013 Basis Team
SPAU Phase u2013 ABAP and Functionals
DBACOCKPIT for indexing u2013 ABAP TEAM

What is the difference between upgradation and migration.

Hi Guru's
what is the difference between upgradation and migration.
actuallly i involved in upgradation project, here my role is
1. first i check the query's in 3.5 save the query and transport the query. and check the query in bex analyzer also.
2. go to BI .7 find the query;s ,give the query name and save the query ,
3. once save the query, again will come to 3.5 open the query , it will not open. this is my job here,
come to 7.0 check the query in analyzer also.
i am having littile bit confusion, how it will comes query in 7.0, why are u saving the query's in 3.5 and 7.0
query's already available in 7.0 why are u doing this work?
can i know the upgrades those objects, is it neccessary, if necessary how can i upgrade.
infoobje , transferrules, transferstructure ,infosoure, datasoure,updaterules, ods, cubes.
Points will be Assingned ,
Thanks & Regards
prabhavathi

Hi,
I was talking in a general sense not on a query level.
If your taling about migration in that level meaning as a part of larger upgradation (in your case 3.x to 7) there may be many places where you need to do this kind of activities.
Fr eg migration into new data flow, Migration of Web templates from BW 3.x to Netweaver 2004s, etc
Hope this helps.

Dear David,
Yes, because iff its unicode upgrade project, very first step you have to check is attributes of the program, activate the "unicode check active" checkbox. Next you have to goto "UCCHECK" transaction, there it will throws all errors like unicode errors and Obsolete FMs(ws_download,ws_upload,upload,download,popup_to_confirm_step,,etc). After this if you have any doubts on Obsolete function modules, goto Extended program check for that object, in that, it will shows all Obsolete FMs(it will displayed in 3rd row "call function interface warnings".
Let me know if you have any queries.

Arani Bhaskar
