PI Landscape

[Former Member]

Hello XI experts,

Iam BASIS guy and working on SAP R/3 4.72 to ECC6 upgrade project.I have few tasks which is related to XI7.0 & SAP ECC&R/3 4.72

Let me put like this current landscape

SAP R/3 4.72 - DVE QAS PRD

SAP XI7.0 XD1 XQ1 XWP

Now we are upgrading SAP R/3 4.72 to ECC6 in seperate hardware in parallel ladscape.Copy DVE to another system and different SID ( EC1 ), QAS to (EQ1) and PRD upgrading on same hardware.

So we will have to maintain two landscape parallely till live.And then we will break old source system SAP 4.72 and continue with new systems ECC.

I know as per SAP best practice we need sepearte XI landscape for upgrade landscape instead of same hardware.But customer can not spend money for new hardware and they wanted to go with same hardware.

I will Integrate XD1 to new source system EC1 and similar to QA, but after creating this source system I can see duplicate two technical systems,2 bussiness systems and etc..

After the live we well delete old systems SAP r/3 4.72

How we can handle such type of landscapes? What are the XI activities to perform to use ECC landscape?

Do I need to do any SLD activities like transports and etc..

Hi Jim,

You must configure ECC how application system of PI.

SM59 ( RFC type H, type T (LCRSAPRFC programID LCRSAPRFC_(SID), SAPSLDAPI programID SAPSLDAPI_(SID))

SXMB_ADM configure application system dest://RFC type H

SLD_APICUST

RZ70

Create in the SLD of PI the ECC Business System.

Verify configuration in T-CODE SLDCHECK

Create target transport in the Business System.

Do we need to create new TS&BS.Can not we use old systems?

[Former Member]

TS will be new for new landscape ,

you can use BS by changing underline TS... but then your old landscape interfaces will not work...

Hi Jim,

You can proceed as below

1) Configure SLD component for new landscape (DEV/QA).

2) re-use design objects.

3) Convigure Directory part for new landscape (Dev/QA).

4) After testing just change yor prod TS for new landscape.

You need to consider below issues.

1) Server sizing and subsequent performance to handle two landscape... otherwise all interface testing will fail.

2) You need to take care of little chaos arise due to this in PI.

one more suggession , go for SAP PI 7.1 ehp 1 for new landscape...
