There are THREE options to perform this activity.
1) Migrate your existing system to BPC V10.
2) Copy your existing system& perform migration on the copied system.
3) Perform migration on a brand new system all together.
Option 1: Involves upgrading existing BW system to version 7.3 (SP 2 or higher), and then upgrading BPC system to version 10.0. Once these are completed, migration programs can run, which will migrate underlying BPC components to newer BPC VER 10 components.
Option 2: This option Involves copying the existing system and performing the migration on the copied system. Migration comprises of tasks: to upgrade current BW system to version 7.3 (SP 2 or higher), and to upgrade BPC system to version 10.0. Once these are completed, migration programs can run; which will migrate underlying BPC components to newer BPC VER 10 components. This option reduces the project risk substantially. There is no interference with the production system, which is an advantage as well, from risk mitigation perspective.
Option 3: Safest amongst three options, where a completely new system is set up from scratch and migration is done on the new system! With this option as well; there is no interference with the production system, hence an advantage, from risk mitigation perspective. Migration process remains the same, as other two options, which comprises of tasks: to upgrade current BW system to version 7.3 (SP 2 or higher), and to upgrade BPC system to version 10.0. Once these are completed, migration programs can run; which will migrate underlying BPC components to newer BPC VER 10 components.
AND THE STEPS ARE:
STEP 1: Back up existing/old BPC system
Log in to SAP NetWeaver System for SAP Business Planning and Consolidation Version 7.5; execute a Transaction Code UJBR to take a back up of Application Set.
STEP 2: Restore New BPC system
Log in to SAP NetWeaver System for SAP Business Planning and Consolidation Version 10 and execute a Transaction Code UJBR to restore the Application Set
STEP 3: Migration
After successfully restoring the Environment, use SE38 transaction code to execute the program: UJT_MIGRATE_75_TO_10 in order to Migrate the content of SAP Business Planning and Consolidation Version 7.5 for NetWeaver to SAP Business Planning and Consolidation Version 10 for NetWeaver,
STEP 4: Check application Logs for errors, discrepancies
After Migration, analyze the Application log for this Migration via SLG1 Transaction Code in NetWeaver System for BPC 10
STEP 5: Post Migration Check
Further Post Migration checks can be undertaken via a ABAP Program UJA_DATA_CHECKER from SE38 Transaction Code
