Hi again Sue,<BR>
<BR>
Sorry, I misunderstood your email title and assumed you were going through the same pain as me :)<BR>
<BR>
I must say we've had fewer issues from our ECC 6 Dev Box to our target ECC 6 environments once the definitions have been patched up and tweaked in Dev. The only real issues we've had have been with activation failures because of other missing pieces or dodgy runtime buffering. These started to diminish too once I started to religiously regenerate our BoR objects in every target system after each build was applied.<BR>
<BR>
So far to date, we've applied the following OSS Notes, some of which you may already have looked at:<BR>

<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">We're at the tail-end of a long protracted code merge between 4.6c and ECC 6 and our experiences of the whole WF Transport area are these:</SPAN></FONT></P>

<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"><BR>1. SAP categorically does NOT support transporting 4.6c changes to ECC 6 definitions. And from what we've been told they never will either, despite our complaints that they need to consider they're existing customers who can't just upgrade overnight.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"> </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">2. SAP expects clients to upgrade their definitions once and once only. And therefore their migration tools and programs are written to update the new tables from the 'old' tables once and once only.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"> </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">3. Basically speaking you have to assume that most changes to containers and container elements will NOT be Transportable and will have to be manually applied directly in ECC 6. Thankfully, binding changes seem to be unaffected for the most part although there too some things have crept in that might catch you because of unicode parsing (there's new syntax added by SWDD for type definitions that you can't add in 4.6c).</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"> </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">4. Some brand new WF Definition features have to be defaulted but these values may not be ideal for you. For instance we have chosen to stick to the 'old' STRUCTURE PERSISTENCE conatiner tables (SWW_CONTOB) but we need to explicitly state this in the WF Definition header settings otherwise furture versions may decide to switch to the new tables (Compatiblity setting). And we've found that on occasion 4.6c Transports have a nasty habit of re-initialising some of these defaults...</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"> </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">5. Dummy nodes in ECC 6 cause havoc until a Block Correction is carried out, as you have found out. These go away but come back if you re-import from 4.6c iof course. Nice! The fault is deep down in the new logic for determining step types and the fact that ECC 6 adds an extra piece of data somewhere to define a dummy block that you can't transport.</SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"> </SPAN></FONT></P>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana">6. Multi-line tables now have to be handled with a brand new container element that 4.6c can't deal with. That was a fun one to work out. You actually have to hack your binding in text editor mode to insert the new syntax if you want to pacth this kind of thing up (WFParForEach).</SPAN></FONT></P></BLOCKQUOTE>
<P class=EC_MsoNormal><FONT face=Verdana size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana"> <BR>The Transport mechanism in 4.6c can only succeed in delivering changes where the tables in ECC 6 have remained in place and are still in use. Thankfully this means that in most cases the changes to actual step logic and binding does make it through, but be careful where the new logic being added is based on new container elements (see 3). <BR> <BR>To be fair I appreciate SAP's dilemma a bit because the jump from 4.6c to ECC 6 in terms of Workflow is subtle but huge. The addition of XI/PI/BPM (whatever they call it now) and the whole revamp of the Workflow engine in ABAP Classes has meant a complete rethink in a lot of key areas. <BR> <BR>But I think clients are currently faced with a painful choice at the moment which leaves a sour taste in my mouth to be honest. They either send Transports through and patch things up manually (as we have had to do) or they carry out parallel changes and keep their development codestreams apart (at the risk of missing stuff). Either way the upgrade becomes quite a pain if you use Workflow a lot.<BR> <BR>By the way, be aware that the tables for Event Linkages have also changed, so SWETYPV is based on a completely different table view and hence Transports from 4.6c are utterly useless.<BR> <BR>Regards,<BR> <BR>Mike GT</SPAN></FONT></P>
