What is ASU Toolbox? Where do you download ASU Toolbox for BI 7.0?

[Former Member]

Hello all,

We are upgrading from BW 3.5 to BI 7.0. We came across ASU Toolbox while reading the document "Best Practices for Upgrading to SAP NewWeaver BI 7.0". In SAP Note 623723, there is information about how to import ASU toolbox for other SAP system(s) except NW2004s(BI 7.0). Does anyone know more information about this tool?

Thanks in advance.

ASU Toolbox = The application-specific upgrade Toolbox.

Before or after a technical upgrade often additional application-specific steps need to be performed  The application-specific upgrade toolbox collects and summarizes these activities  Enables you to recognize the necessary steps and perform them in a controlled manner

Application-specific upgrade toolbox is integrated with the upgrade GUI through the ASU phase in the upgrade process  For further details check SAP Note 1000009

One tool for all kinds of predefined tasks (reducing the upgrade time)

 More transparent upgrades (avoid mistakes)

 Avoidance of problems after the upgrade (problem message reduction)

 Extension of the toolbox with own content or by adding news steps to delivered SAP content is possible

Use SAP Note 1000009 for more details about download ASU toolbox for BI 7.*

Kind rgds,
