The Upgrade Roadmap: A Methodology for Any Upgrade Project

by Doreen Baseler, SAP AG

The Upgrade Roadmap is content available from SAP that provides a methodological guideline to assist you in your upgrade ventures.This roadmap is available as part of SAP Solution Manager (Release 3.1 onward). At its core is a generic, easy-to-follow, phase-oriented, step-bystep activity guide for upgrading components to facilitate any upgrade project (see the Roadmap window in Figure 1).These include analysis of the status and targets for business processes and underlying IT infrastructure before and after the upgrade, upgrade configuration, and testing of upgraded processes. Along the way, accelerators link directly to SAP Solution Manager and other SAP resources to launch supporting functions - tools and services for best practices documents, how-to’s, and project templates, among others, that speed the upgrade process. By connecting you automatically to the right resources at each phase of the upgrade project, the Upgrade Roadmap allows you to:

■ Tailor the guide to your chosen upgrade path, such as from SAP CRM 2.0 to SAP CRM 4.0, using predefined, path-specific content delivered with the Upgrade Roadmap (see sidebar below)

■ Navigate directly to supporting upgrade functions in SAP Solution Manager (shown in Figure 1) to manage and report on your current system landscape, and to document and test your business processes

■ Track your project activities, making extensive use of documentation management, status tracking, and problem message handling In a nutshell, the Upgrade Roadmap provides access to all documentation sources relevant to technical and functional system adjustments at the time you need it.

  4. Let me be clear: this article is not a technical manual on the finer points of Internet marketing. No tutorials, no tests, no benchmarks. Webdesign

  6. This also goes for the success and failure of your Internet marketing ventures. Internet marketing is a fast-moving world, which means things die off as quickly as they are born. Webdesign

  7. This is the biggest cause of my discouragement, the other day I went on Theme Forest because I was thinking of selling some Wordpress Themes on their market. I looked around to see if anything I had done was good enough and found out that the stuff they sell there is really good! I immediately got this sense of discouragement because I felt like none of my stuff was anywhere near as good as that. Not to mention the complexity of the design functionality this was a bit beyond me. I figured I had 2 choices. Webdesigner Limburg
