Installation Guide

Upgrading from Version 3.8 to Version 3.9
Upgrading from Adapter for SAP R/3 version 3.8 to version 3.9 consists of the
following steps:
•
Transfer user-specific configuration information from the version 3.8
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.
•
BAPI formats have not changed between versions 3.8 and 3.9. You can
continue to use the BAPI formats you used with version 3.8.
•
Migrate IDoc formats using the procedure described in “Converting IDoc
Formats” on page 5.
Changes to Configuration Keys
If you use the GUI to import your pre-3.9 configuration files, some of the keys
will be automatically mapped to the keys required by 3.9. You will have to
make some manual changes to the configuration file before you use it.
Alternatively, you can make all changes manually.
Note
Appendix A of the Adapter for SAP R/3 User’s Guide contains a list of
all currently valid configuration keys.
The following keys and values must be changed in your configuration files.
You can use the sample configuration files that are provided with the new
installation. Manually transfer existing values for keys from your existing
configuration files into the new configuration files based on the sample files
provided.
This list contains keys that are typically used in configuration files but may not
be all of the keys you have used. See the Adapter for SAP R/3 User’s Guide for
a specific version for a complete list of configuration keys for that version.
