dear sridhar

There are so many differences between the version in different objects

I will explain in two or more objects the difference

1 in the customer master in 4.6 version there is no partner function tab in the customer in xd01 t-code

and also there is no CIN tab in that version

but it is there in the 4.7 EE version

This is the major change from the 4.6cc to 4.7EE

2. in 4.7EE there is some settings that are related for CIN

which cannot be done in 4.7EE that means they need some patches for doing the configuration setting for the CIN

But we can do the same in the 6.0 version

These are the some of the settings that are differed in the two versions and in that two objects

You can find the difference in release notes of each SAP version.

Here are the links.

When you are upgrading from 4.6C to ECC6

Nothing major, follow the same process you'd follow if you were updating PI service packs in R/3 or enhancing data sources. Empty queues in RSA7 and lbwq. Also empty setup tables through lbwg as the upgrade doesn't like it if these tables contain data. This is all on the R/3 side (although you empty RSA7 by running each delta TWICE in BW).

To transfer queues from lbwq to rsa7, execute jobs through LO cockpit (lbwe).

Some of your data sources could also be using sm13 instead of lbwq, so do check it out as well.

For installing ECC 6.0 you required a solution manager key. With out solution manager key you cannot install ECC6.0.

For ECC 6.0 is called net weaver component here you have ABAP+JAVA stack.

ECC6.0 supports UNCODE.

For installing 4.6 you don't require solution manager key. It only having ABAP stack.

4.6C supports NONUNICODE.

Major difference is ECC6 is netwear product having WASJAVA+ABAP

secondly support unicode apart from this we have other diff. you can get form master guide from service.sap.com/instguides.

Please go through the link that is shown here and if there is any doubts then feel free to ask.

hi,

First let me know its Functional upgrade OR Technical upgrade.

If it is a Technical Upgrade Client follows the same business process in newer version, As a SD Consultant you will be involved in basically unit testing (testing Tcodes if they work as expected in newer version), Integration testing, Business Process Tesing (End to End Business processes).

In Functional Upgrade - Client starts unsing new functionalities of new version after upgrade. So as a consultant, one needs to do a fit-gap analysis and try synchronising the new functionalities with the client process.

You will be involved in preparing end user manuals.

Thank you
