Former Member

Hi,

Does anyone know what is the functional difference/result when we upgrade java iViews (Ehp4) to abap iViews (Ehp5)?

What issues might be caused?

We have some non-standard iViews also that will be upgraded to EhP5, does anyone have experience/advice in how to grab this task?

also, how much work it will cause to upgrade ess iviews infottype 2, 6, 9 and 21 from java to abap iViews?

Thank you!

Hi Hilde,

Regarding delta functionality, you can explore the [Solution Browser Tool|http://solutionbrowser.erp.sap.fmpmedia.com/Default.aspx] (use EHP4 as source, and EHP5 as target)

Regarding include new interfaces for PersInfo infotypes in your current Roles, you can implement by;

1. add new WDA views to your current Java Role: then, consider just a couple of days including tests (but that depends on the amount of ESS Roles and countries affected). The task will be hide

2. use the new Role with the ABAP Overview page: then the effort time could be bigger

For both cases, consider also an additional effort for Dynpro personalizations.

If you already have the Java Server installed and working correctly, I suggest that you continue using Java Role (including Java Overview page), then add the new WDA services that you want to use.

In the note commented above, you can find the possible (technically) scenarios.

If you are using standard iviews you just need to activate the backend switch for activating the ABAP WD Iviews in EHP5

and customisaiton etc remains same.

Refer note 1450179

Also note that

As of SAP enhancement package 5 for SAP ERP 6.0, the Homepage

Framework is discontinued for the WD ABAP-based Employee role and

is replaced by service map capabilities based on NWBC client

(PFCG role) or as a WD ABAP application based on launchpad

Customizing (transaction LPD_CUST).

For non standard iviews, do you wanna to still use them, then you can continue to use them without any issues.
