Changes from BPS to IP

[Former Member]

Hello all!

My company is working in the upgrade from 3.5 to 7.0, and I am the responsable for the planning. My question is what do i have to change in the transaction BPS0 and in BW?

I know the syntax of formulas fox changed, for example now we have to use FOREACH IN REFDATA......but what else do I have to do?

thanks in advance!!!

Planning levels and planning packages in BPS should be changed to aggregation levels and filters. Planning layouts in BPS to queries. Other objects which have to be migrated are planning functions,data slices and characteristic relationships.

In BPS we use Web interface builder, in IP you have to use WAD. Similarly you have planning folders in BPS and in IP it is Bex analyzer.

Your answers are very helpfull. But someone told me that I need to do a configuration, with the objective to tell the system that uses the same authorizations from the 3.5 version.
