Major Steps in Migration
• Evaluate your current environment
Business Planning and Simulation (SEM-BPS) for SAP BW 3Business Planning and Simulation (BW-BPS) for SAPNetWeaver BI 7.0Integrated Planning (IP) for SAP NetWeaver BI 7.0
• Confirm your patch levelsSAP NetWeaver BI SP16 enhancement packs 1 through 4Can SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidationenhancement pack 1 exist with BPS for SAP NetWeaver BI 7.
• Install enhancement packsEnhancement pack 1 or 4
• Evaluate complexity of your planning models• Consider pilot planning development

Migration
• Question
When would you recommend SAP BusinessObjects Planningand Consolidation?• Answer DEPENDS where you start from
If you are on IP, then work in phasesWait for enhancement pack 4 instead of using enhancementpack 1If you are on SEM-BPS, migrate to BPS on the SAP NetWeave
BI 7.0 platform and then phase-out into SAP BusinessObjectsPlanning and Consolidation
It gets tricky if you are merging BPS 3.5 with BPS 7.0 andSAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidation

Technical Tips
• If you are on IP, wait for enhancement pack 4•
If you are on SEM-BPS, move to BW-BPS on the SAP NetWeaveBI 7.0 platformDo not install enhancement pack 1
SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidation withenhancement pack 1 and BPS cannot co-exist
Wait for enhancement pack 4, then move to the latest release oSAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidation
• If you are moving from SEM-BPS use a transport method even iyou are redesigning your cubes
It is always easier to change then recreateMake a copy of production and upgrade it to SAP NetWeavBI 7.0 before doing transports

Taking this Project into A Global Environment
• Create a template that will be rolled out later to other sites/countries
• Consider converting all sites to Unicode environmentSAP NetWeaver 7.0 is Unicode by default
• Get on the same platform
SAP NetWeaver 7.0 is recommended• Get on the same release, patch level
SAP NetWeaver 7.0 is recommended• Work in phases with proof of concept
Have the same implementation team assist with the other siimplementation

Lessons Learned
• Consider and confirm the technical aspects such as
SAP BW/SAP NetWeaver BI releaseSAP BW/SAP NetWeaver BI patch levelCo-existence of enhancement packs of SAP BusinessObjectsPlanning and Consolidation and BPS/IP
• Develop in phasesGo through an exercise to determine what functionality will bmoved to SAP BusinessObjects Planning and Consolidationand what will stay in IP or BPS
Depending on complexity of you planning process andfunctions, it is better to leave complex activities in BPS/IP
