SAP NetWeaver BW 7.30 vs. 7.31

choose the Go-To Release for NetWeaver BW

SAP NW BW 7.3

(on HANA) SP07

• Already General

Available

• All SAP NW BW 7.3

functionality plus SAP

HANA enablement

SAP NW BW 7.31 (on HANA) SP05

• New Installation on anyDB/HANA available: Q2/2012

Upgrade/EhP1 on any DB available: Q2/2012

Install of EhP1 on HANA available: Q3/2012

• All SAP NW BW 7.3 functionality plus:

• Improved fresh Installation based on 7.31 SP04

• Simplified Upgrade with SAP Upgrade Manager (SUM) 1.0

• All Post Copy Automation - BW Basis functionality is included in SP04

which enables a quick and stable migration to BW on HANA

• From every NetWeaver 7.0x Release, the Installation/Upgrade of the

SEM Add-on 7.36 is possible.

• The Gateway Add-on (OData) can be implemented for BW EasyQuery

access on a NW 730 EhP1 system.

• BW 7.31 SP04 is released between SP07/08 for BW 7.30

(which includes 3 Month of further development)

Recommendation for the upgrade to BW 7.31 SP04 : Customers on ≤ NW BW 7.0 should upgrade directly

Customers on NW BW 7.3 should plan the EhP 1 upgrade for their next regular maintenance cycle


Upgrade to BW 7.3x - ABAP

NetWeaver Java 7.3x is now shipped together with BW 7.3x. Mandatory you should separate

the Java Stack prior to the Upgrade of the ABAP Backend, if not already done.

The new split/deinstallation tool for the Java Stack is expected to be available November

2011. If you are already in the process, consider the manual deinstallation of the Java Add-In

until it’s availability.

The BICS are moving to the upcoming SAP BusinessObjects Application Platform BI 4.x,

which is also a prerequisite for the full usage of the BEx successor - Analysis -

The Java component BW-IP modeler is redeveloped for BW 7.3x in ABAP HTTP, so the Java

Server will not be used anymore for the BW-IP infrastructure in the future after BW 7.3x

The new BI Authorization concept is now mandatory. Despite the fact that you either create a

7.0x System beforehand to migrate the old BW Authorization, a potential Upgrade from BW

3.5 to 7.3x would be possible.

NetWeaver 7.0 EhP3 is merged into NetWeaver 7.3x EhP1 (there is no 7.03, only 7.31).

All Components are using one consolidated Version of the Kernel (7.20 Unicode-EXT 64-BIT).

For compability reasons there are non UC/non EXT Versions available (no 32-BIT anymore)

The full (currently only limited by size of the DB) BW on HANA Support is available

with 7.30 SP07 and 7.31 SP04

Solution Manager pre requisites

incorrect stack.xml can create unwanted follow up errors

In order to successfully work with the Solution Manager to create necessary

stack.xml, which is a new requirement in NetWeaver based upgrades the following

checks had to be fulfilled prior to the creation of the stack.xml.

■ Sufficient privileges for the s-user, which is connected to the Service Market Place (SMP)

■ Updated PPMS data, to ensure the correct processing of the desired Upgrade Target‘s

■ Note 1603103 - SMSY: NetWeaver 7.3 upgrade

■ Latest SP‘s/correction/Notes for the correct usage of the Solution Manager applications

For more information about the Maintenance Optimizer, see SAP Support Portal at

■ http://service.sap.com/solman-mopz

Furthermore if you have ERP components installed, e.g. the SEM Add-On, consider

■ Note 1326576 - SAP NetWeaver Systems Containing SAP ERP Software Components

■ Note 1927083 - SAP NetWeaver Systems with SEM-BW

new Option allows you more flexibility, see Blog

Note 1532805 - Add-On Compatibility of SAP NetWeaver 7.3

There is a SEM Add-On (only for the Upgrade) available with BW 7.30. The SEM (6.34) Add-

On is available since end of Q1/2011 for all Customers. See Notes 1539356 and 1531022 for

more details. SEM 6.34 cannot be installed on a fresh BW 7.30 Installation

SEM 6.34 is HANA enabled, see Note 1648413 for more Details.

The direct update from BW 7.0/SEM 6.0 to BW 7.31/SEM 7.36 is possible (Note 1326576)

An Upgrade to NetWeaver 7.31 (7.3x EhP1 equal with 7.0 EhP3) is possible, when SP02 or

higher is available for 7.31 and the equivalent SP for SEM 7.36.

This Combination is currently in Rampup (November 2011) and will run until End of May 2012

There is also the BPC 10.0 Add-On available with BW 7.30 which is currently in Rampup

(GA expected for November 2011). With NetWeaver Version there is no Windows Server

necessary anymore (web based maintenance). See Notes 1585589 and 1620027 for details.

It is planned with SP06 (CPMBPC 800) to be HANA enabled

Additional Add-On´s like GRC or DMIS will be enabled for the Upgrade to NetWeaver 7.31

Further decision about Add-On’s

UPG WITH SAINT PACK or DELETE (for ST-PI possible)


Decision about included Support Packages


Problem occurs with the archive LUP.SAR

follow the mentioned Note for the component LUP

You have to give the Source out of DVD/zip from Number 51041560

there is the missing component LUP.SAR (SL controller)

See also:

Decision about included SPAM update


Optional: include SPDD and/or SPAU request


ASU toolbox for BW

Even that ASU toolbox is optional, it contains ALL pre and post steps


Installing BI_CONT on SAP NetWeaver 7.3

3800300 version „7.35“


Development is locked after this Phase

Depending on your Upgrade preconfiguration

Please Note:

■ from BW Perspective is is now

not possible anymore to

change the following objects,

even that you are not jet in the

downtime phase

■ Query structures

■ InfoPackages definitions

■ Process Chains

■ This behavior didn’t changed

from former BW Upgrades prior

to EhP1 (7.01)


Decision about SPDD prior the ACT phase

For BW type system you can continue without adjustments


Unlock/Lock the shadow system is necessary

A friendly reminder/recap

D:\usr\sap\trans\bin>tp unlocksys FBM pf=TP_DOMAIN_FBM.PFL

This is tp version 372.04.65 (release 700, unicode enabled)

tp finished with return code: 0

meaning:

Everything OK

D:\usr\sap\trans\bin>tp unlock_eu FBM pf=TP_DOMAIN_FBM.PFL



meaning:

D:\usr\sap\trans\bin>tp locksys FBM pf=TP_DOMAIN_FBM.PFL



meaning:

Everything OK

D:\usr\sap\trans\bin>tp lock_eu FBM pf=TP_DOMAIN_FBM.PFL



meaning:

Reset the Upgrade with report RSUPGRES

Another friendly reminder/recap (run with user DDIC in client 000)

Note 417670 - Additional information on resetting upgrade as of Release 6.10

Note 1518145 - FM DD_DB_MISSING_OBJECTS returns incorrect no. of objects












Decision about ACT phase

Accept non-severe errors will be solved in a later phase


Old “PREPARE” is now finished

Until this phase working with the system was possible


End of phase Preprocessing

To ensure the recovering please backup the upgrade directory


End of phase Downtime backup of DB

Upgrade is already over the top


End of phase Postprocessing

Think about the start of BTCTRNS2 after the post work is finished



Think about the start of SGEN after the post work is finished



Might not occur with higher support package



Decision about SPAU create transport for further upgrades



Your technical Upgrade is finished


Technical Upgrade has ended
