Steps to follow in Upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0

[Former Member]

Hi ,

As part of Upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 , Basis team completed Prepare module.

Now Prepare module report says there are some modifications need to be done .

Do i need to make the changes to the adjustments populated in SPDD/ SPAU transaction code before basis team goes for Upgrade ?

If changes are applied to the modifications populated in SPDD / SPAU. How i need to transport these objects ?

Please let me know the steps need to take in transport of these objects .

Cheers,

Reddy

Dear,

Transaction SPDD allows you to adjust modifications to ABAP Dictionary objects during an upgrade, the upgrade will stop at the begin of ACT_700 phase, so you can logon to shadow instance and perform the adjustments in SPDD.

About transaction SPAU that allows you to adjust programs, function modules, screens, interfaces, documentation, and text elements after an upgrade.

You have the option to include the SPDD request from previous upgrade,

The PREPARE includes the ADJUSTPRP phase for this purpose. In this

phase, the system searches the global transport directory for comparison

requests from previous upgrades and offers these for inclusion in the

upgrade. If you do not have this request, you may go ahead with the upgrade

and the proceed with the SPDD / SPAU adjustments during the upgrade.

Please refer to the following SAP Notes for more details:

68678 Exporting modification adjustment for 2nd upgrade

610311 Importing a modification adjustment in 2nd upgrade

124522 Importing a modification adjustment in 2nd upgrade

I hope this helps.

Hi Mr. Mohammed, i'm a rookie abap guy. Just about to jump into an upgrade project. Can you tell briefly about the set of main procedures involved? You've mentioned some, but looks like i need some more experience to understand the terminology. My question is who starts an upgrade? Is it the basis guys? And where does my role.. or rather a good abapper's role start? Thanks in advance..
