SAP BW BPC upgrade related

[former_member287117]

Hello Experts,

My question is, when we do support pack or Version Upgrade in BPC, do we need to always activate environment Shell? We are currently on SAP BPC 10.1 on NW Version. Reference SAP note - 1906563

CPMBPC - release 810. SP Level 009
SAP_BW - 740.SP Level - 0014
Regards,Suraj

Thanks for all the updates.
After a BPC Support Package upgrade, an update and reactivation of BI Business Content needs to be conducted via the UJS_ACTIVATE_CONTENT program. These procedures will guarantee that the Data Manager package instructions and process chain objects in BW are synchronized with the latest Support Package.

Hi,

It is always better to re-activate the EnvironmentShell. There is no harm in doing it.

Hope this helps.

We upgraded from

SAP_BW 740 0007 SAP Business Warehouse
CPMBPC 810 0002 SAP Business Planning and Consolidation

to

SAP_BW 740 0014 SAPKW74014 SAP Business Warehouse
CPMBPC 810 0009 SAPK-81009INCPMBPC SAP Business Planning and Consolidation

It was a SP Upgrade for SAP BW 7.40 and SAP BPC 10.1 on NW plattform

In this particular case I am not sure if it's necessary to 'Activate BI Business Content' and 'Update Default DM Instructions'

All notes for SP 3 to 9 has to be checked!

But you can do it anyway and compare results - save text of Default DM Instructions before and after.

Table: UJD_DEF_INSTRUCT

P.S. Please remember that upgrade of default dm instructions will not upgrade your existing DM packages - have to be checked and changed manually!
