Hi:

Look in SDN for many posts covering this topic.

Read this famous document. It has stuff like closing Open Requests in Transactional Cube, Complete the loads of Delta Queues, etc.

Hi Sid,

Might wish to take a look at some guides available here..

https://websmp104.sap-ag.de/upgradenw2004s

Note 893348 - Hardware and Software requirement for NW2004s

Lessons Learnt - Upgrade

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

Critical OSS Notes:

819655 – Add. Info: Upgrade to SAP NW 2004s ABAP Oracle

820062 - Oracle Database 10g: Patchsets/Patches for 10.1.0

839574 – Oracle database 10g: Stopping the CSS services ocssd.bin

069455 - The upgrade strategy for the add-on ST-A/PI

606041 - The upgrade strategy for the add-on ST-PI

632429 - The upgrade strategy for the add-on WP-PI

Post upgrade Steps :

1. Read the Post Installation Steps documented in BW Component Upgrade Guide

2. Apply the following SAP OSS Notes

47019 - BI_CONT 7.02: Installation and Upgrade

558197 - upgrade hangs in PARCONV_UPG, XPRAS_UPG, SHADOW_IMPORT_UPG2

836517 – Oracle Database 10g: Environment for SAP Upgrade

3. Install the J2EE instance as Add-in to ABAP for BI 7.0 and apply the Support Patch that equivalent to ABAP Support Patch.

4. Run SGEN to recompile programs.

5. Install the Kernel Patch.

6. Missing Variants - (also part of test script)

look at the RSRVARIANT table in SE16. If it is empty, then you will definitely need to run RSR_VARIANT_XPRA

program - RSR_VARINT_XPRA

OSS -953346 and 960206 1003481

7. Trouble Shootauthorizations

820183 - New authorization concept in BI

Complete any Logistic V3 data extractions and suspend V3 collection processes (SAP Notes 506694 and 510835)

The V3 extraction delta queues must be emptied prior to the upgrade to avoid any possible data loss. V3 collector jobs should be suspended for the duration of the upgrade.They can be rescheduled after re-activation of the source systems upon completion

Complete any data mart data extractions and suspend any data mart extractors (Note 506694 and 510835)

All ODS data loads must be activated.Activate ODS Object requests. All ODS ‘M’ tables must be emptied prior to the upgrade as a new activate process is implemented.

Anil
