Hi

I have some checklist ,do not exactly remember from where i got it but its really usefull

There is no standard SAP checklist as it used to exist in 3.x for nw2004s upgrade and trust the master data guide available on market place is not upto the mark and expectations

So Heads up..

You may wish to have a look at draft portrayed below,rest you learn when you drive

Lessons Learnt - Upgrade

1)Convert Data Classes of InfoCubes. Set up a new data class as described in SAP OSS Note 46272.

2)Pay attention to the naming convention. Execute the RSDG_DATCLS_ASSIGN report.

3)Run the report RSUPGRCHECK to activate objects.

4)Upgrading ABAP and JAVA in parallel may cause issues. If there is no custom development on J2EE instance, it is recommended to drop the J2EE instance and re-install the latest J2EE instance after the upgrade.

5)Apply SAP OSS Note 917999 if you include the Support Patch 6 with the upgrade or you will get the error at PARCONV_UPG phase. When you upgrade to a product containing Basis 700, the phase PARCONV_UPG terminates. You included Basis Support Packages up to package level 6 (SAPKB70006) in the upgrade. The job RDDGENBB_n terminates with the error RAISE_EXCEPTION. In addition to this, the syslog contains the short dump TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOC_FAILED. The program SDB2FORA terminates in the statement "LOOP AT stmt_tab". An endless loop occurs when the system creates the database table QCM8TATOPGA.

6)Apply the OSS note 917999 if you get the following error during PARCONV_UPG phase: PARCONV_UPG terminates with TSV_TNEW_PAGE_ALLOG_FAILED

4. Run SGEN to recompile programs.

look at the RSRVARIANT table in SE16. If it is empty, then you will definitely need to run RSR_VARIANT_XPRA
