10/31/2017 New Installation of S/4HANA 1610FPS1 – Best Practices Content Activation | SAP Blogs

FPS1 – Part 3A – Best Practices Content Activation – DEV3


A new Solution Builder profile has been created with ALL scope items but in
case you have finalized scope items you can select only the needed scope
items. Depending on how many selected scope items, activation procedure
will need less time. It is assumed tax system VERTEX connection is not
available and shows how to fix those activation errors. The status of system
before starting this procedure is clearly defined before starting.
TIP: If you have removed some scope items, in the rare situation that the
removed scope item should have populated a table, you may get some
error due to this scenario. In this situation please open OSS message.
You need a stable network connection to SAPGUI frontend so it is advisable
to use Windows Terminal Server with latest SAPGUI installed.
This document will be useful to quickly learn, setup validation system on
some projects quickly with just 2 languages.

Click OK. Click on Favorite to make this solution as your favorite

STEP15: First please also go through note 2309549 – Identify completely


installed languages for the report /SMB/REMOVE_NOTINST_LANG_IMG
for Implications of reducing languages as below:
TIP: “The report deletes SAP Best Practice Content for all released
languages that are not successfully installed in the system. After having
deleted SAP Best Practice content for such languages with this report, you
won’t be able to add languages-dependent SAP Best Practice content
again. Therefore make a conscious decision to run the report,
understanding the implication that for languages not installed in the system,
but released for the solution, all language dependent content of IMG
activities would be deleted. Adding further languages later is currently
not supported”
Enter tCode SE38, run report /SMB/REMOVE_NOTINST_LANG_IMG. You
can run in simulation mode if needed and then in update mode.

STEP 17(OPTIONAL): Best Practices content activation for any solution will
populate the client currency as USD by default. In case you want to have a
different client currency, you should change the currency before activation
starts.You should not change client currency once the first solution in the
client is activated. The procedure is as follows:
Enter tCode /N/SMB/BBI -> Building Block Builder, Menu Installation
Data -> Central Data

select DSC – /SMB99/STD_CURR_DSC_J01 Click on Maintain and

https://blogs.sap.com/2017/03/15/new-installation-of-s4hana-1610-fps1-part-3-best-practices-content-activation/ 13/28
10/31/2017 New Installation of S/4HANA 1610FPS1 – Best Practices Content Activation | SAP Blogs

change field I_MWAER to EUR

STEP 18: Review List of Activation Errors as below. Depending on scope


items you have selected, you may get less errors. This is the summary of
errors described later The list is provided as a quick search. The timings are
based on Cloud based Virtual Machine with 256GB RAM x 32 Cores.

STEP19: Enter tCode /n/SMB/BBI and go to Solution Builder. Select the


Solution and click on Implementation Assistant and Click on button

https://blogs.sap.com/2017/03/15/new-installation-of-s4hana-1610-fps1-part-3-best-practices-content-activation/ 14/28
10/31/2017 New Installation of S/4HANA 1610FPS1 – Best Practices Content Activation | SAP Blogs

Activate.

After 2 minutes you will be prompted with screen below.


You can select Skip this screen if you don’t want this screen from popping
up everytime.

If a message pops up “To activate the project, the client settings need to
be changed to eCATT and CATT allowed” this would come up if you didn’t
follow the step 14 for SCC4, please choose Yes.

STEP 20 (OPTIONAL): How Much time is left to finish the activation ?


As the Best Practices content is activated, the scripts are running for few
hours. Throughout the process you cannot access Implementation Assistant
and even if you open it in another screen there is no way to tell how far you
are in activation process. To see this information on how much time is left
we will make use of spreadsheet, please download from link –
“S4HANA_1610FPS1_BPContentActivationRemainingTime.XLSX“.
Please follow these simple steps. Enter tCode SECATT, Logs icon.
Starter – Blank, enter Start Date, Max No of Hits – blank

The logs shown from SECATT will match the records shown in
spreadsheet. Select the tab that applies USV3 or DEV3 and delete the
other one.

https://blogs.sap.com/2017/03/15/new-installation-of-s4hana-1610-fps1-part-3-best-practices-content-activation/ 15/28
10/31/2017 New Installation of S/4HANA 1610FPS1 – Best Practices Content Activation | SAP Blogs

COLUMN A – There are 445 records for full activation of USV3 (427 for
DEV3). In case this is the first activation then log numbers will start from 1
on row 446 and Column A numbers will match. Activation starts with first log
entry is with Title = /SMB99/SU3_O009_B32. But in case this is second or
third client activation, replace the number in cell A446 (shaded green) with
starting number of this activation for TITLE=/SMB99/SU3_O009_B32 in
SECATT log.
COLUMN C shows Duration of each activity and COLUMN D shows the
time remaining including time for current activity.
COLUMN F – Cell F446 enter the time that you started the activation. The
column F will be revised to show time that each activity will occur. This is
good if you didn’t lose time with system waiting and also system processes
at same speed as reference system. To get better estimate of times –
refresh the SECATT log, find the current activity number and Title. From the
logs you can find start time of current activity. Enter the start time of the
current activity in cell F446 (shaded green) in time format 16:36.
Spreadsheet column F will be revised. The advantage of this is you can find
the time that next stop will be reached based on rows shaded in red.
OPTIONAL – What if the activity currently running is has long duration and
is in progress – yes the duration of activities over 10 min are shown in blue.
The No of test cases are indicated together with Title in brackets (). From
the number of test cases completed so far you can calculate the remaining
time for this activity.
STEP21: VERTEX Error 1
If vertex is not configured, you will get Activation Error as shown below

Building Block J57

Affected Activity /SMB99/CL_XTAX_RULES_RFC_O001

STEP29: SYSTEM LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT FOR QAS AND PROD:


Recommendation is not to do Content Activation of best practices in QAS
and PROD. You have to move the transports as below in graphic.

1. SAP Best Practices client is set-up with specific client copy profile
2. SAP Best Practices customizing after initial activation
3. Manual extension of business configuration using IMG
4. Additional client 000 customizing for customer adaptation (Note
