<font size=3>Hi Robin,<br>
<br>
For starters, I recommend you look at OSS Note 0152871. This note
was very helpful guiding me through two release upgrades.<br>
<br>
Also take a look at the ASUG web site, Spring Conference 2001, for a
presentation by Mark Griffiths. He really hit the nail on the head
with this presentation.<br>
<br>
Good luck,<br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite>We are just staring our project to
upgrade from 4.0b to 4.6c. We have over 20<br>
custom workflows in production. The workflows and tasks are of all types
(WS,<br>
WF, TS, T). We use only a couple of SAP delivered workflows. Our
workflows are<br>
in area of approval/release of purchase requisition, purchase order,
service<br>
entry, trip, asset disposal, AP invoice payment and a few custom
applications.<br>
<br>
Some of the workflows are copies of SAP workflow with changes to role
resolution<br>
function and work item text. We have not implemented SAP HR or loaded the
org<br>
chart, so all role resolutions use custom functions which go against
custom<br>
tables. We also have several custom Business objects to support
custom<br>
applications and enhancements to SAP Bus. Object, to add custom
attributes and<br>
methods.<br>
<br>
I am looking for some guidance and information on how to assess the
impact of<br>
the changes, estimate and plan the upgrade. Initially, I want to gather
as much<br>
relevant info as possible. I have access to the Release Notes for
4.6c and the<br>
intermediate releases as well.<br>
<br>
Are there are other free useful sources of information? I am especially
looking<br>
for useful tips, do's, don'ts etc.<br>
Are there any particular OSS Notes which provide useful info?<br>
Any other information you are willing to share from your upgrade
experience?<br>
<br>
I am extremely grateful for any assistance you can provide.<br>
