BPS to IP Migration

[former_member592894]

Dear Experts,

We are currently using BPS for planning and, would like to upgrade it to BW-IP.

• The current Versions of BW and Enterprise Portal are as follows:

  • BW - 7.0 (Only ABAP instance only; No Java Instance)
  • Portal - 7.3 (BW JAVA already installed with essential components - BI-BASE-B BI-BASE-EBI-BASE-SBI-WEBAPPBI-IBC)

At the moment, we don't have a Java Instance installed for our BW. And, we cannot go back to an older version of Portal.

We want more information on the possibility of using the 'JAVA' stack of Portal for BW.

That mean, without installing an additional Java Stack for BW, we want to use the JAVA of Enterprise Portal for BW System also.

Can you please share more information and documents on this. So, that we can plan accordingly.

Please help and advise.

Thanks and Kind Regards,

Jelbin

Hi Jelbin,

ABAP BW 7.0 is not compatible with JAVA 7.3. See note 1787619:

---
....This means that as of Java 7.30, the Modeller is no longer provided. For mixed scenarios from older Java Releases in combination with a 7.30 (or higher) backend system, the following is true:

You must use only the ABAP Planning Modeller as of Release 7.30 on a BW system (ABAP and JAVA). The Java Planning Modeller is no longer supported as of BW 7.30.

Hello Sheldon,

Thanks for your kind reply.

When, I run RSPLAN from BW. The 'Start Modeler' gives me the below error.

Hi Jelbin,

From IP perspective, if you don't want to change JAVA, upgrade BW to 7.3 is necessary. See note 1787619.

Hello Sheldon,

Unfortunately, we are not planning for a BW upgrade. So, the option before us is the JAVA way.

Thanks and Kind Regards,
