http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/EN/60/d6ba7bceda11d1953a0000e82de14a/content.htm

Please find below, answers to your questions:

1.What objects will come in SPAU and SPDD?

Ans: All the objects which are modified, after tansporting to the current system,

will be listed in SPAU and SPDD. SPDD contains the list of all modified Data Dictionary objects, like tables, dataelements, domains,view...etc. The rest of all the modified repository objects will be listed in SPAU.

What happens to the modifications done in the older version when we upgrade the version? (with Modification assistant and w/o)

Ans: After the initial upgrade happens, we have to do adjustments from SPAU/SPDD to maintain or reset the changes. That is, from the list of objects in SPAU/SPDD, you have to either carry forward the changes to the new version, by choosing the option ADOPT CHANGES (available on right click) or RESET TO ORIGINAL (available on right click).

Will they come in these transactions?

Ans: yes, they will be listed in these transactions, after the BASIS updgrade activity.

And what if we apply some patches(Notes) to the system? What is the impact of these patches to the SPAU transaction?

Ans: Patches will be supported by the version upgrade. In case of notes, we have to verify whether these notes are supported by the new version (you can go into http://www.service.sap.com/notes to verify this. Also, we have to analyze whther the code in the note is already incorporated in the new version. In this case you can ignore the chanes choosing RESET TO ORIGINAL option

Hi,

In UPgrade process these two transactions wil be used.

Both are for doing the adjustments by comparing the old version.In SPDD you will do Data dictionary objects modifications. the remaining stuff( FM, include...) will be modified in SPAU.

SPAU and SPDD

If you have applied any OSS notes to objects in your system, the hot package may overwrite these objects.

SPDD is used to identify dictionary objects

and

SPAU (repository objects), will identify any objects where the hot package is overwriting changes you have made through OSS notes.

You must check all objects identified in SPAU and decide whether you need to reapply the OSS note or reset the code to the original SAP Code.

Also once the changes have been done you would see a green traffic light.

If you double click on the modified object it will show you a split window where on the left you will have the original version and on right the modified version. So you can choose which to keep and which to reject. You may keep the modified version incases where you know that the notes will only be pakages in the next version.

Hi,

Usually is done by ABAPers. But even basis people who have abap knowledge can do it.

Usually abapers in upgrade scenarios do it.

Hello,

SPAU and SPDD are two important transactions used during the Upgrade.

SPAU -- SPAU stands for Support Pack Adjustment .

This transaction would contain the list of all the Standard SAP objects like Screen , Reports , Function Groups to which changes have been done either through Core Code changes or through the application of OSS notes.

SPDD -- This transaction would contain the list of the Standard Data dictionary objects which have been changed.

The objects in this list have to be fixed within 14 days of the upgrade.

Regards,

Sowmya.
