Hi everybody,

are there any differences between an upgrade and an implementation project in the solution manager? does an upgrade project feature any functionality an implementation project doesn't and vice versa?

thx in advance

Hi Arthur,

The Upgrade Project has additional abilites. For one, you can put in the product you are upgrading to (i.e. SAP ECC) in the system landscape and then run the compare and adjust feature. This will tell you what items in the BPR changes when you upgrade your box.

Hi Jason,

thank you for your input. with regards to compare, i know how to compare a project to a template but i don't know such a feature with regard to a system landscape. what do you mean by the "compare and adjust feature" and where do I find it? what is being compared here?

thx in advance

Hi Art,

The Compare and Adjust only works if you leveraged some of the Business Process Repository to build your BPS. Then you can run the Compare and Adjust and it will flag the processes that change if you upgrade your system from one release to the next.

Basically the steps are:

1. Build the system landscape

2. Build the BPS leveraging some of the BPR

3. Add the logical component you will upgrade to, to the system landscape of the project (such as SAP ECC)

4. Go to SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN and highlight the project

5. In the top menu, I believe under Edit (maybe Goto), select Compare and Adjust

6. Go into your upgrade project in SOLAR01 and see the flagged processes
