Workflow Upgrade 4.6C to ECC6 - manual settings during Cutover

Hello Guys,
We are upgrading to ECC 6 from 4.6C and we are on release 701 & support pack SAPKB70106.
I would like to know which are the "Manual activities" that needs to done during cutover and WHEN should these should be done (eg. before ECC6 upgade, or after ECC6 upgrade but before config/dev transports, or after config/dev transports).
I have looked on few SDN threads and found the following info. Please correct me or add extra info if i have missed something:
1. Configure RFC destination & WF user info in Transaction SWU3.
2. Run Transaction SWU_OBUF to clear the runtime buffers before users start Testing.
I assume rest of changes would be imported with transports, but i have read through lot of SDN threads that all custom Workflow definitions needs to be ACTIVATED in each system (DEV - QAS- PRD) and custom BOR objects needs be REGENERATED in each system (DEV - QAS- PRD). Also, do I have manually set the agent assignement for Customer Task as GENERAL TASK in each system? Are above stated 3 steps needs to be manually done in each system or transports take care of them ? I am bit confused. Could anybody please advise me regarding the Manual Task/activities that needs to done in each system during cutover during WF upgrade from 4.6 C to ECC6.
Thanks for posting excellent stuff regarding the Workflow Upgrades on SDN. It really helped me in resolving most of my issues.
Thanks in advance
Kind Regards
Sam

Helli Viji,
Thanks for the information. I still have some doubts.
Yes , as you have mentioned there are many other mandatory settings in Transaction SWU3 that needs to be maintained in each system. I hope these settings are imported with the Customizing tranport request created in DEV or Do we have to maintain these manually just in case of Upgrade.
For transporting the Agent assignment from one system to another, can we use Transaction RE_RHMOVE30 ? Or this functionality do not works when upgrading to ECC 6 from 4.6 C.
Is there any other activity I am missing that needs to done during Cutover when upgrading from 4.6C to ECC 6 with regard to Workflows.
Thanks
Regards
Sam.

Guidelines to reduce downtime during upgradation R/3 to ECC6

hi all........
Here we implemented SAP R/3 4.6 in the year 2005.
Now we are planning to upgrade our system to ECC6 unicode .
We are planning to upgrade our Production and Development system to SAP
ERP6 EHP4.As part of the upgradation; we had setup a test system with the
following details:
Sun Fire 480R (UltraSparc III + 1.05GHz x 4 processor)
Memory 16 GB and Storage : Sun CSM 200 SATA HDD
SAP R/3 4.71, single code pages 1100, Oracle 9.2.0.8.0, Solaris 9
Test system with 1.2TB data copied from Production System.
We have upgraded the test system using CU&UC method ( Upgrade Guide SAPERP6.0 EHP4 SR1 Abap ). It took 2 days downtime for full upgradation and 8 days for Unicode conversion.
Requirement :
To Upgrade the current systems without any additional hardware to SAP
ERP6 EHP4 Unicode.
As a part of the above, the cluster has to be upgraded to Sun cluster
3.2, and operating system to Solaris10 (5.10)
We are having the following queries:
1. With only 1.3 TB data, we feel, the down time of 10 days is not
realistic.Though we had not deviated from the above mentioned upgrade
guide, what could be the reasons for this down time of 10 days?what arethe affecting factors? Kindly suggest the ways by which we can get
reduced downtime . The referred Notes are (784118, 855772, 952514,
936441, 954268, 864861 ) still we are unable to pin point the reason. Abreak up of this down time is given below for reference.
2. Are there any alternate approved upgradation methods to reduce
downtime in our present set up? (details of present set up is given below)
3. How to calculate the down time with reference to(sapnote:857081) to in
our setup
Current Production System Details :
System : Sun Fire V890
Processor : 1.5GHz UltraSPARC IV+ processors -- 8no.s
Memory : 64 GB
Storage : Sun Storagetek 6180: HDD FCAL(16 no.s x 450 GB)
15,000-rpm 4 Gb/sec 4GB data cache (Storage connected to server using FC
cable)
SAP : R/3 4.71 single code pages 1100
Database : Oracle 9.2.0.8 data-size is around 1.3 TB
OS : Solaris 9 (5.9)
Cluster : Sun cluster 3.1
Network : 1GB ethernet (1000BASE-SX)
Architecture : Application and database server on Same system
SAP Development system specification same as the above with 187 GB data
size. PRD and DEV systems are on cluster; PRD failover to DEV system.
The time taken for test upgrade - brief details:
1. Kernel upgraded 6.20 to 6.40 (2hours)
2. Oracle Upgrade to 10.2.0.4.0 (3.30 hours)
3. SAP UPGRADE Preparation-Apply support packages (18 hours)
4. Downtime Phase and Pre-Processing and Finalization Phase (20 hours)
5. Unicode Conversion-Taking DB Export 109GB(Almost 10% of total DB
size)(98 hours)
6. Installation of unicode system using export (95 hours)
Looking forward to hear from you.

Hi .......
i am very sorry for late reply...............................
The time taken for test upgrade - brief details:
1. Kernel upgraded 6.20 to 6.40 (2hours)
2. Oracle Upgrade to 10.2.0.4.0 (3.30 hours)
3. SAP UPGRADE Preparation-Apply support packages (18 hours)
4. Downtime Phase and Pre-Processing and Finalization Phase (20 hours)
5. Unicode Conversion-Taking DB Export 109GB(Almost 10% of total DB
size)(98 hours)
6. Installation of unicode system using export (95 hours)
2 days downtime means the sum of time used for above 4 activities ..........................
as you suggested we can do the same 4 different down times......................
Unicode Conversion-Taking DB Export 109GB(Almost 10% of total DB size) is taking a continuous down time
of 98 hours (4.5 days ) (Activity 5)+ installation of Unicode system using the Unicode export is taking 95 hours 4.5 days
(Activity 6)
i think the we have to do activity 5 & 6 in a single stretch with out users, so it will take a continuous down time of 9 Days
With this in mind I have a few questions for you to clear a little bit more all the problem.
Q:1 Did you use more parallel jobs during Downtime than default? and I mean real Downtime where the SAP system is taken down
No.we have used default number (3 ) of parallel jobs during downtime
Did the system allow you to use ICNV (incremental converssion) for some tables?
yes we may use ICNV
Can you separate the Unicode conversion to a different weekend? or is a must for some business reason?
Yes , we can separate the Unicode conversion to a different weekend , it will not affect our business
Did you save the post download Report so you can see what are the most time consuming phases?
i am not so clear about this question , we have made an activity chart with time duration as per the test upgrade. Or how we can save the post download report from the system
Looking forward to hear from you.

Hello,
I receive the same error when trying to change records of an infotype. Did you find a solution to this problem? I know your message is from 2008, but maybe you remember what you did to solve it

D70 manual settings with studio flash

I have a D70 and wish to use it with Bowen flash units with a remote wireless trigger. This is not the problem as I have two triggers both of which work fine. The problem is with the camera, I only ever use manual settings and keep losing the LCD display as I focus with the trigger attached. The image holds if the flash is open, but that is no good to me. Does anybody please know how I can hold the LCD display in the studio using manual settings.

That's correct. All that's being done is pretty basic symbol animation. Tweens, eases, a lot of symbols within symbols for easy switching of parts. What confuses me most is that it opens fine in CS5.5. What features might CS6 have/not have to completely break the file?
I also attempted to re-save the file in CS5.5 and then try opening it in CS6. This killed the program. Didn't even get as far as exporting a swf. All of my tools disappeared, all assets were corrupted, and the program just went on an endless loop of thinking and freezing.

Upgrade from 46c to ECC6.0 : Java or Java-AddIn ?

Hello
Can you explain me what is the difference between Java and Java-AddIn as proposed in evaluation phsae of an upgrade from 46c to ECC6.0?
Thank You.

Hi Alain,
But if we implement a JavaAddin solution today, do you think it will be possible to create a Java instance later to create a Portal solution ?
If you implement a java addin today then you can use later for portal solution.

Private IP Addressing---? Manual Settings

Our Cbeyond service gives info that we have Private IP Addressing for Network Config. Public IP Addressing is not provided.
Does that mean that I can't use Automatic but must do Manual Settings for Internet Accesss?

Okay I know you are going to ask how.
When you visit the above website actually when you visit any website, it needs to know your external IP address in order to deliver the information from that website to your browser.
What the browser wants to do is send a command to the Web server on www.apple.com that looks like this:
GET /index.html HTTP/1.0
Here's how that happens. The command is made into a packet, a block of bits like a telegram that is wrapped with three important things; the source address (the IP address of your machine), the destination address (17.254.0.91 ), and a service number or port number (80, in this case) that indicates that it's a World Wide Web request.
Your machine then ships the packet down the wire (your connection to your ISP, or local network) until it gets to a specialized machine called a router. The router has a map of the Internet in its memory — not always a complete one, but one that completely describes your network neighborhood and knows how to get to the routers for other neighborhoods on the Internet.
Your packet may pass through several routers on the way to its destination. Routers are smart. They watch how long it takes for other routers to acknowledge having received a packet. They also use that information to direct traffic over fast links. They use it to notice when another router (or a cable) have dropped off the network, and compensate if possible by finding another route.
Once your packet gets to its destination machine, that machine uses the service number to feed the packet to the web server. The web server can tell where to reply to by looking at the command packet's source IP address.
This is your external IP address in other words the website needs to know where to send the webpage information back to.
When the web server returns this document, it will be broken up into a number of packets. The size of the packets will vary according to the transmission media in the network and the type of service.
So why doesn't it supply your internal address, well this is because your router uses NAT and it knows what client on the internal network asked for the information and it is the router (with the external IP address) which asks and therefore when it receives it back, it then forwards it to the client.
As the router asked for the info, it is the router's address which is reported (the external address) and not the internal address.
What this means is that everything you ever ask for on the internet is recorded by the websites you visit.

PS In future Gino please start a new topic (referencing the one that sparked the question) to avoid over-complicating topics, thank you.

Hello Kumar9,
if I understoon correctly your last reply, you have doubts if PSAPPRD640 should exist at all, correct?
Please do the following:
1) Check any object assigned to this tablespace PSAPPRD640
2) If any object occupied to PSAPPRD640 then reorganise to new tablespace
If any object not occupied to PSAPPRD640 then check the table entry
   a)TAORA for tablespace PSAPPRD640(if exist delete)
   b)IAORA for tablespace PSAPPRD640(if exist delete)
3) If above done then drop the tablespace through BRTools.
Best regards,
Tomas Black

Airport extreme will not fix problems or allow manual settings

So I have a recently purchased airport extreme and the dreaded "flashing amber light" problem, but I can't find a solution that works. When I open my airport utility it says it has found an airport extreme that is experiencing problems, and then gives all the specs of my airport extreme (e.g. name, ip address, etc.) and says it is reporting problems.
It then instructs me to press the continue button to resolve the problems. However, when I do that (or attempt to open the manual settings), it thinks and thinks and thinks while reading the configuration and then finally tells me that an error occurred while reading my configuration and I should make sure the airport is properly plugged in and in range of my computer, though it's plugged in properly and sitting immediately next to the computer.
I would also note that the internet works fine on my desktop (being run through the airport to my mac), but just will not work on the danged airport.
Any idea of what I can do now?

It opens up a new window, but still gives me the exact same error message about not being plugged in or in range, though it is both of those

MOVED: (Noobie OCer) FSB down throttled despite manual settings?

This topic has been moved to Overclockers & Modding Corner.
(Noobie OCer) FSB down throttled despite manual settings?

1. System Specs which I thought followed forum policy and had enough information are afaik now exactly as per forum policy as stated here: https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=64858.0 . Please let know if I've missed anything.
2. I read the sticky post and there's, no reference to this problem I could see. Sorry if I should have replied in that thread, however my fuzzy logic moved me to post originally in the Overclocking forum because I wanted to overclock and it's late...
3. I flashed the BIOS specifically because I had a Venice core and dual channel wouldn't work. Yes, I set optimized defaults after flashing.
If I've boobed by creating a new thread at this late hour, please delete it and I'll add a post to the 9.1 BIOS sticky thread.

Testing of Workflows:Upgrade

Hi All,
We are upgrading from 4.7 to ECC 6.0.With respect to workflows, we would like to know
1. What should be the testing approach for workflows in the upgraded environment (do we test the workflow from end-end or test by bringing a workitem to logical closure which was active in 4.7 version).
2. What are the possible areas of workflow which may be affected or need to be checked due to the upgrade.
3. Any other steps / criteria that are to be considered for testing the workflows in the upgraded environment.
Please advise on these points.
Warm Regards,
Lavanya.

But at my clients site in one scenario they want to put manual price during PGI...
Can anyone throw some light on the above said issue...
Eagerly waiting for your helpful replies..

Hi Nainesh,
If you want to change price of goods sold (VPRS condition type) in the delivery, this is not possible in the standard system; personally I would not mess with standard SAP based on the requirement alone.
But at my clients site in one scenario they want to put manual price during PGI...
If your consulting customer wants a special price for the goods, you can suggest them to use split valuation, therefore the PGI value will be based on the value of the individual batch delivered to the customer (if the batch is the criteria you use for split valuation).
If you want to change the sales price, change it in the sales order.
Pricing in the delivery is only used for special functions in the standard system.
Best Regards,
Franck

Cannot Configure Network Settings During ol6u1 HVM Install

dom0: vm server v2.2.2
vm manager: v2.2.0
Oracle Enterprise Linux 6 update 1
When creating a domu server using ol6u1, the network configuration button on the page where you enter the host name is grayed out. I would like to enter the settings during the initial install.
What can I do to make the button usable. When I do an install in Vmware Workstation, the button functions as expected.
How can I enable that functionality in Oracle Vm environment?

Thank you for your answers, they were helpful.
i've done the settings, but network restart seems not to work I have such file in the rc.d directory and tried to change permissions to 777, but it still doest'n work. i'm logged in as root. i get the error:
[root@arch rc.d]# network restart
-bash: network: command not found
I've editer the etc/hosts file:
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain arch
I've restarted the machine but i stll have no internet connectivity.
ifconfig says:
eth0
...addr 192.168.0.68 bcast: 192.168.0.255 mask: 255.255.255.0 ...
(which seems correct)

What to sign in project settings during distribution

Hello.
After submit to App Store i received message: "Please ensure that you are changing your "Code Signing Identity" to "iPhone Distribution" and your "Code Signing Provisioning Profile" to your distribution profile in your TARGET build settings - not the project build settings."
I wrote the same values in project settings and target settings (for active configuration) as it is written in Apple "How to" section.
Can someone tell what to write in project settings during distribution?

Welcome to the Apple Community nico_stam.
Are you trying to sign in or create a new ID.

Error: "Windows could not apply unattend settings during pass [offlineServicing]"

Hi,
Using Windows Deployment Services and PXE boot, I am getting an error when installing Windows 8.1 and Windows 2012R2:
"Windows could not apply unattend settings during pass [offlineServicing]"
Deploying Windows 7 does not have the same issue.
The images were created from MSDN ISO's downloaded directly from MDSN - no modifications.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
Mark

Just to be on safe side I would copy the Install.wim and boot.wim file. Then try to run the setup again with new files.
Thanks

HP LASERJET P3005N NOT PRINTING WITH MANUAL SETTINGS

We have a subnet for our PCs and Thin Clients and we have a subnet for our printers. The subnet for our PCs and Thin Clients is setup for DHCP service while the subnet for our printers is setup for static addressing. The HP Laserjet P3005n printer is able to operate effeciently in DHCP mode; it picks up an ip and I'm able to print to it, ping it, etc. However, it doesn't communicate with the network when I manually configure an address to it; I'm not able to print to it, ping it, etc. It was working find with the original settings (static ip address) on a Friday then the problem started when the office opened back up on that following Monday. I've tried different cables, assigning the printer's address to a different printer, different ports, and even installed a JetDirect card into it and it still doesn't fix the issue.....PLEASE HELP!

<Is this because i just upgraded to 10.5.6? </i>
No, probably not. I have no problems printing to my 3015 from 10.5.6.
Is apple going to do something about this?
Doubtful since it's almost certainly not Apple's problem, per se. Make sure you have the latest printer update, HP Printer Update 1.1.1, which should appear in Software Update if you haven't installed it and will probably appear in the "Installed Updates" pane of the Software Update preference. And if course if it's a networked printer you'll want to ping it to make sure that your system is actually reaching the printer.
If you continue to have problems, you'll probably want to take it up with your IT people or with HP. But you can keep an eye on this thread and see if suggestions to the OP would apply in your case as well.
