Dears,
I'm approaching a Netweaver 702 / BPC 75 SP 7 upgrade to Netweaver 740 /BPC 10 SP3, on a two system landscape (Development and Production).
I'm new on BPC upgrade .
I read the BPC 10 upgrade guide, a lot of post I found here, but still have some question to be answered.
My scenario will be the so called " Direct upgrade on the same server".
These are the steps indicated on the BPC 10 upgrade guide:
1) System copy from Planning and Consolidation NW 7.5 production system to a new system
2)Upgrade SAP NetWeaver from 7.01 to 7.3
For information on the steps involved in upgrading the SAP NetWeaver platform from version 7.01 to 7.3, see the SAP NetWeaver 7.3 ABAP Upgrade Guide.)
3)Upgrade Planning and Consolidation for SAP NetWeaver 7.5 to 10.0
4) Pre-customize system based on 10.0 requirements, for example RFC destination and service user BPC_SERVICE)
5) Execute migration program to migrate 7.5 data into 10.0
My doubts are the followings:
Q1) Why I should perform a copy from the production system to a new system, as I have already the Development environment ?
It's aligned with production as developments.
Q2) I do not understand why the upgrade of the Netweaver components are splitted from the BPC upgrade.
As the BCP 75 component is installed on the Netweaver server, it will be updated by SUM togheter the others Netweaver components.
So why the step 4 is splitted from step 3 ?
Q3) Using the scenario " Direct upgrade on the same server" do we have to run the UJRB before the upgrade to save something ?
Q4) The step 4) refers to the Pre-customize requirements; it's possible to have a full check list of these actions ?
Q5) The step 5) says only to run the migration program UJT_MIGRATE_75_TO_10 of the upgraded system.
Do we have to run the UJRB before or after this tool ?
