SEM-BCS impacts of BW upgrade (7.0 -> 7.4) and BW DataFlow migration (3.X -> 7)

Hi experts,

We'll have an upgrade from BW 7.0 to BW 7.4 SP07, with posterior DataFlow migration of modelling objects from version 3.x to 7.

I've discovered that we have some SEM-BCS infocubes with 3.x objects (mostly datasources).

I would like to know if, in case of performing these two activities, SEM-BCS is impacted to the point of having to hire a BCS consultant/analyst to make functional configuration/adjustments.

Thanks for the attention!

Best Regards,

Maurício.

Hi experts,

Does anybody have the answer to this question? Do we have to upgrade SEM component or is it an optional requirement?

Hi Mauricio,

for SAP_BW 7.40 the SEM-BW add on (includes BCS) 7.47 have to be installed. This is NOT optional (see also note 1602357). If you plan a technical upgrade only the BW cubes and all othe BW objects will be updated automatically.

If you plan to activate and use new BCS functions provided by new Enhancement packages you have to do the relevant customizing in UCWB.

Anyway,a test for BW and BCS is required after the upgrade.

best regards

Thomas
