Migrating BW 3.5 Query to BI 7.0

[Former Member]

Hi,

In order to migrate a 3.5 query to 7.0 we need to open it in 7.0 and save it.

Is there any other way to mass migrate queries to 7.0.

Thanks,

Hi,

I need some help/clarification here.

I want to be able to use the new BEx Web Application Designer and have the 3.5 queries as the data source.

We, also, do not want to convert any of our queries from 3.5 to 7.0.

Is there a way to keep the 7.0 query designer locked down, but allow access to the 7.0 Web App Designer?

Our Basis team has used OSS note 962530 to lock down all 7.0 functionality/access.

I hope my question makes sense to you.

Thanks,

Raghav,

Due the fact the all Queries (both versions) could be used in both version of BEx

Tools and runtimes, there is no need to migrate all Queries at once ( no mass

migration ).

1. Editing Queries Queries with new version could only be opened with SAP NetWeaver 7.0

BEx Query Designer

􀂄 See note 962530 how to restrict access to Query Designer, if not all

users have access to SAP NetWeaver 7.0 BEx Query Designer

2. Using Queries Both versions (SAP BW 3.x and SAP NetWeaver 7.0) of Queries could be

used in both versions of BEx Tools and runtimes

􀂄 Queries (SAP BW 3.x) could be used without change in BEx Web

Application Designer or BEx Analyzer (SAP NetWeaver 7.0)

􀂄 Queries (SAP NetWeaver 7.0) could be used in BEx Web Application

Designer or BEx Analyzer (SAP BW 3.x)

􀂄 Global Objects (structures, key figures, variables, customer exits) could

be used without change

No mass migration required
