2 Adapter for SAP R/3
Preparing for Upgrade
Note Existing database refers to the database you are currently using.
Target database refers to the database you will use with Adapter for SAP R/3
version 3.9.
Before migrating formats and rules from an existing database to your target
database, verify the following:
• Existing database contains valid rules and formats.
• Integration Server is installed.
• Target database and temporary database are instantiated, contain no data,
and allows sufficient space for rules and formats.
• Adapter for SAP R/3 version 3.9 is installed.
Warning! When upgrading formats and rules to a target database, you
must have three separate database instances: your existing database, a
temporary database, and your target dat a base. Do not attempt to rebuild
your current database after exporting all the data.
Upgrading from Version 3.0.3 to Version 3.9
Upgrading from Adapter for SAP R/3 version 3.0.3 to version 3.9 consists of
the following steps:
• Transfer user-specific configuration information from the version 3.0.3
configuration files to version 3.9 configuration files.
You can do this manually using the sample configuration files in the SAP-
3_9/CFG folder or using the GUI. See “Changes to Configuration Keys”
on page 3 for a table of changes to configuration keys between versions.
• Reload BAPI formats using Adapter for SAP R/3 version 3.9. You must
crate new rules for these formats.
• Migrate IDoc formats using the procedure described in “Converting IDoc
Formats” on page 5.
