Hi,

We recently have upgraded from 4.6C to ECC 6.0. The steps we followed:

1. SPDD: Compare Dictionary Objects

2. SPAU: Adjust SAP Standard Objects

3. SAMT: Massive Y/Z programs error check

Hi

In additions to SPDD and SPAU, you have to fix all the programs and FM which are giving syntax errors.

1)Also you have to replace all obsolete FMs and statements in your custom programs.

2) BDC Programs - screens might hv got changed

3) TVARV table replacements

etc.

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Uma,

You will have to Work on:

1. Standard Object Adjustments that will be done through the transaction

SPAU

SPDD.

2.Custom dictionary objects will be checked for consistency.

3. For the custom Objects, the changes that need to be done will depend on the scope of the Projects.

usually, syntax errors that have arised due to the upgrade will be taken care. Then, comes the extended Program check (EPC) using the transaction slin or from the menu in SE38.

Replacing FM's, and other EPC errors would be taken care.

4. BDC Programs would be identified and would be checked if the Program flow, screen logic remain the same. If not, a new recording is done and changes incorporated accordingly.
