Upgrade to 7.4 and keeping ESS/MSS Webdynpro for Java

[former_member205713]

Dear Expert,

We are upgrading our portal from 7.02 to 7.4, there are some ESS/MSS WDJ objects which is standard SAP provided but has been deployed by NWDI tracks in source portal i.e. 7.02. Our client is interested in keeping ESS/MSS WDJ only and don't want to move to WDA.

While using SUM tool for upgrade, the tool is not picking the ESS/MSS component assuming it is custom development...we are not sure what all the changes was done in Standard ESS/MSS package in 7.02. We are left with 2 choices -

1. Re-import the standard ESS/MSS component in source porta 7.02 and then upgrade via SUM tool

2. Upgrade to 7.4 and then apply ESS/MSS package.

Can you suggest which approach would be good..?

Also...still the custom development in source portal is haunting us...is there any way to know via source code or any other method ...the chnages which has been done in standard ESS/MSS package.

Hi,

There are two approaches for this.

1. Modify the target ESS/MSS components into modified components using NWDI Modifications and Comparisons with SPs Using the NWDI - Enabling User Collaboration - SAP Library (Portal consultant has to perform this)

or

2. Revert the modified component into standard by redeploying the same component (standard components) and proceed with the upgrade - Caution : you will loss all the modifications in this approach.

Thanks,
