Hi All,

We have a requirement for upgrading SAP PI 7.0 to 7.3, just wondering if there are any impact to the existing PI objects, such as interfaces,ABAP proxies. What are the known issues in this upgrade?

Really appreciate your inputs.


Regards,

Venkat

Hi,

I guess you are going for dual stack. I don't see major changes required for this. Documents given here can give you some idea what changes required.

You can upgrade the system and later you can go for converting classical to Ico.

It is too difficult to list down all the issues which occur during upgrade. I faced below issue.

You can check below one for list of upgrade activities.

Muni

Agreed. It's very difficult to list down the issues as they are specific to implimentatioon. You might not face them/you may get new errors.

However below are the few notes which we considered during our upgrade and also you can find many threads on these topics so have a look at them

1942289 - Known issues with PI and ECC EHP upgrades

1925194 - PI mapping error - SAXParserFactory.newSAXParser

1801881 - PI: Unable to read configuration data (ExchangeProfile/aii.properties)

1818068 - PI CTC: Alert rules doesn't work after upgrade

1702097 - PI CTC: Step "Assign roles to user 'PICACHEUSER'" fails

1673399 - PI Upgrade: No RFC authorization for user PIDIRUSER

Hi Venkatesh -

Are you upgrading the existing system or migrating?

If it is a migration then make use of the below tool -

If you are upgrading, i don't think we have some tools.

You have to manually convert the integrated scenarios to integrated configuration if you want to run your interfaces on java stack only(it's not mandatory but performance improving factor)

Hi Venkatesh,

PI 7.0 is nearest to XI 3.0 than PI 7.1, you can start searching some advices in the SCN:

Also, check for notes like this one:  1390477 - Additional info about the upgrade to SAP NetWeaver 7.3

Hi Venkatesh,

Some of the issue which may occur after upgrading are :-

  • Mapping Issue:-RuntimeException during appliction Java mapping com/sap/xi/tf/_<Name of message mapping>_ Thrown: com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException: while trying to invoke the method javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory.newSAXParser() of a null object loaded from static field com.sap.aii.mappingtool

It means  system can't find the mapping.All Graphical Mapping are translated into Java mapping and Tranported.

  • Communication Channel :-Some Channel you have to reactivate or regenerated it again.
  • Cache Issue:-U can ask basis team to keep monitoring the cache.
  • SLD Configuration:-Configuration in  SLD will may have mismatch
  • May Have Some Issue with XSLT mapping.You can check this  SAP Note 1650212

Make Sure before upgrading you should tranport of the request and during tranportation freeze your code otherwise there might be some mismatch.You can also check as suggested by Iñaki Vila
