Technical Usage for SAP ERP 6.0 EhP4

[Former Member]

Hello gurus,

I am planning to upgrde my system EC2 which is an SAP ERP 6.0 on an Oracle10g database with OS Windows Server 2003.

But I dont know which technical usage to choose.

Using the url http://<hostname>:5<instance number>00/utl/UsageTypesInfo, the following are my system's usage types:

SAP ERP 2005/SR2 XSS XSS Self Services

SAP ERP 2005/SR2 LSOCP LSOCP Learning Solution Content Player

SAP ERP 2005/SR2 BD BD Biller Direct

SAP ERP 2005/SR2 XECO XECO Extended E-Selling Components

SAP ERP 2005/SR2 ECC ECC Central Component

SAP ERP 2005/SR2 BP-ERP BP ERP Business Packages (Portal Content)

SAP NetWeaver 2004s/SR2 PI PI Process Integration

SAP NetWeaver 2004s/SR2 BI BI Java BI Java

SAP NetWeaver 2004s/SR2 AS AS Java Application Server Java

SAP NetWeaver 2004s/SR2 EPC EP Core Enterprise Portal Core Components

SAP NetWeaver 2004s/SR2 EP EP Enterprise Portal

SAP NetWeaver 2004s/SR2 AAS AS ABAP Application Server ABAP

There seems to be no direct equivalent of these usage types in the technical usages I see on MOPZ.

Please advise.

Thanks, Cha Cha

Check these notes below

1165438 - Enhancement package 4 for SAP ERP: Required SWC

1324838 - Enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0: Required SWC

I don't think 1324838 is relevant for EHP4.

Also, the Business Function Prediction free service is the best to be able to determine the right technical usages.

Hi Cha Cha

About the selection of Technical usages in MOPZ, you need select the technical usages that you'll need the enhancements.

For example: If you need the functions delivered by Software component FI-CA, it doesn't make sense update the other technical usages to EHP4/5. You need create an strategy about what Business functions you'll use in your system and select just what you'll need to avoid waste of time/resource during the upgrade process.

Hello,

You may check the attachments in note 1165438 for business function -> technical usage equivalence.

as for usage types, you seem to have listed product instances instead. Perhaps you can also have a look at the product instances -> technical usages equivalences in the attachments to note 1165438

Anyway, the technical usagesI can see right away are:

- SAP Learning Sol-Frontend CP

- XSS Self Services

- SAP FSCM - Biller Direct

- Central applications

- SAP XECO

Netweaver 7 app server ABAP, Netweaver PI, and Enterprise Portal product instances don't have any additional technical usages assigned.

I suggest also the service http://service.sap.com/bfp for a free service that will help you to select technical usages in your EHP4 install.
