Upgrade a Business package that is customized.

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

We have implemented the CPRXRPM_UI and Business Package for Project, Portfolio Management and Design Collaboration (PPMDC) on SAP Netweaver Portal.

We copied some of the iviews and pages that we wanted, into our own custom roles.

Now, is it a good practice to do this? And also, what happens when we upgrade? Does SAP upgrade its iviews and pages assigned to our custom roles too? If yes, is there any naming conventions that we need to follow? If we dont want the custom views to be upgraded, can we change the namespace to our own domain names?

And also since these iviews point to WD applications in CPRXRPM_UI, would their functionality change depending upon changes to the upgraded code?

Please advise.

What happens in other business packages upgrades? I did look around, but couldnt get the right 'search' query

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

Well, it depends on the method you used to copy the content (iViews, Pages, Roles...). If you copied the content by delta link, your content will be upgraded but if you copied (standard copy) it then it won't.

EDIT : here's a quote from the documentation :

In both scenarios the advantages of the delta link method become apparent:

If the source object is reimported into the portal at a later time with changes to its contents,
these changes appear automatically in all the derived target objects.

Thanks Pierre. They dont want it to be updated on upgrading, so may be I will just use the Standard copy.

Thanks again.
