Upgrade changes from 4.7 to ECC 5.0 in HR

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Can somebody give an idea on changes that took place while upgrading from 4.7 to ECC 5.0?

1. What are the major uni-code changes that we have in ECC 5.0 compared to 4.7? I know the unicode check is present in 4.7 too (like WS_UPLOAD & WS_DOWNLOAD are obsolete) But are there any major unicode checks that we have to deal with while upgrading to 5.0?

2. Are there any specific screen flow changes that we need to make a note for HR module?

3. Any changes that can be found from using transactions SPDD and SPAU?

Any reply would be really appreciated...

Thanks in Advance,

RVSS.

Upgrade and Unicode conversions are two different things.

Note 367676 - Release upgrade from 4.6 to 6.10 for customer programs

Note 689951 - Release upgrade from 6.20 to 6.40 for customer programs

Hi Markus,

Thanks for your quick response. The document helped me in clarifying my questions. But is there an upgrade from 4.7 to 5.0 ? I did not find any notes related to this upgrade in SAP. Could you please clarify the same ?

And, In SPAU and SPDD, there are 2 options "With Modification Assistant" and "With out Modification Assistant". What is the difference between these two? Objects under these two objects would be analysed and implement new changes according to the new requirement.. right ? If so what makes the difference between these 2 options?

Could you please clarify this one...

Any help would be really appreciated..

Thanks & Regards,

RVSS.

hi Rvvs,

1. yes after upgrade you will find out there is changes in Fms, some parameter added or deleted and there is case where whole function module become obsolete.

2. Regarding Unicode in sap Editor (SE38) in any dummy program write unicode or something like in BYTE MODE and press F1 help and search for Unicode in documentaion there you will get what type of statements are not allowed in Unicode system.

May be this will help you.
