hi,

use SPAU transaction to modify the programs and it will generate a request

which you can transport with the help of basis people.

Hi Santo,

For this upgrade process, you need to consider the following things:

1. Technical Upgrade

- Version upgrade, without functional enhancements

- ABAP Code fixes

- Fixing SPDD

- Fixing SPAU

- Stabilizing the standard SAP transactions.

- Implementing known OSS Notes.

- Identify and correct the clone programs.

- Identify and correct the customer objects.

- Unit testing of upgraded objects.

- Clean obsolete objects

- Functional configuration changes (Must haves)

- Functional process testing

- Mock/Timing upgrade on production like environment

2. Functional Upgrade

- Technical upgrade + Deploying new functionalities available in upgrade version

- Package enabled Business process Re-engineering - If applicable

- Optimization of Custom objects & programs, by utilizing new functionality.

3. Unicode Conversion

- Mandatory for systems on MDMP code page, as SAP does not support these pages.

- Simple way to check if a Unicode conversion is required is to look into the number of entries in table TCPDB. More than one entry in this table mandates the Unicode Conversion.

You can use this website for finding the differences between the 2 versions.

Hope this will help.
