How to reconciliate two development systems in one Production ?

Hello,

We are upgrading a classical SAP Landscape (Development, Quality Assurance, Production) from 4.6c to ECC6.0.

The problem is that, in parallel, a separate HR project is taking starting to enable payroll on a separate development system.

The standard landscape must remain untouched untill end 2007 (end of use of present external payroll)

On january 1st 2008, we are supposed to merge the standard landscape with the developments made on the separat HR project to include sap payroll.

Classically, parallel development is always a problem. Reconciliation is normally recommended via serial positioning; in other words, the new HR dev system is positioned before the standard dev system in the transport routes to avoid object collisioning.

Does any of you have a practical experience of such a situation which could be shared among us ?


If I understand your question (and I'm not entirely sure I do) I would save all your Transport files from the HR system, then load and apply them to the other system when you merge the two. There could be some technical issues to resolve, but this seems logical to me.

Difference bet. ECC 6.0 & SAP R/3 4.7

Hi,

If you're "Basis/Technical", focusing on the underlying technical "Basis" or "NetWeaver" versions will help you stay on the right track. Technically, ECC 6.0 is 2 "technology" versions higher. Following is the terminology/version information for the last 3 ERP product versions:

SAP R/3 Enterprise (4.7x)
SAP BASIS 6.20

SAP ERP 2004
SAP NetWeaver 2004 (BASIS 6.40)
ECC 5.0

SAP ERP 2005
SAP NetWeaver 2004s (BASIS 7.00)
ECC 6.0

The main technology feature delivered with NetWeaver is the integrated J2EE engine (Web Application Server Java).

Hope that helps!
