Chapter 1: General Notes

Overview
This guide describes the installation of the Legacy System Migration Workbench Version
1.8.0 (short: LSMW 1.8.0). LSMW 1.8.0 is an implementation tool, which supports the
data migration from non-SAP systems to SAP R/3.
By installing LSMW 1.8.0, no objects are imported that are also part of the standard
version delivered for your R/3 System. Installing LSMW 1.8.0 will therefore not affect
the functions of the R/3 System in any way.

Scope of Delivery
Besides the software (archives LSMW180.CAR and LSMW_10_TO_18.CAR),
additional materials are available for download in SAPNet
(http://service.sap.com/LSMW) , e.g.:
• This installation guide in German (LSMW180_InstallationGuide_D.doc) and
English (LSMW180_InstallationGuide_E.doc)
• A quick introduction to working with LSMW 1.8.0 in German
(LSMW180_HowTo_D.doc) and English (LSMW180_HowTo_E.doc)

Support
If you should encounter problems during installation or detect an error, please contact
your SAP systems consultant or open a message in the R/3 Online Service System
(component BC-SRV-DX-LSM).
If you do not have access to the R/3 Online Service System, you can also call our Hotline
Service directly.

Compatibility with Other Tools

LSMW 1.8.0 is technically completely independent of R/2 to R/3 migration tool. Both
tools can therefore be used in a parallel way.

Chapter 2: Installation of LSMW 1.8.0

Overview
This chapter describes how to proceed when installing the LSMW 1.8.0.

Prerequisites
Prerequisites for the installation of the LSMW 1.8.0 are:
• The SAP R/3 system has one of the following maintenance levels: 4.6A, 4.6B, 4.6C or
4.6D.
• The R/3 correction and transport system has been set up correctly and tested.
• The following background jobs are released (see: System Æ Services Æ Jobs Æ Job
overview [be sure to enter ‘*’ in the „Start after event“ field]):
• RDDIMPDP in client 000
• RDDIMPDP_CLIENT_<client> in the remaining clients.
• Otherwise, start report RDDNEWPP as user DDIC in all clients.

Installation: Part 1 — Installation of the Software

• Copy the archive LSMW180.CAR to an arbitrary directory <sourcedir>.
• Switch to directory /usr/sap/trans:
cd /usr/sap/trans
• Unpack the archive named LSMW180.CAR:
CAR –xvf <sourcedir>/LSMW180.CAR
• Switch to directory /usr/sap/trans/bin:
cd bin
• Import the transport request named U46K001009:
tp addtobuffer U46K001009 <SID> [pf=<TMS PROFILE FILE>]
tp import U46K001009 <SID> [pf=<TMS PROFILE FILE>]
• If you already used LSMW 1.0 and want to continue using the migration objects
created with LSMW 1.0, you will need an additional program which can be installed
using transport request U46K900160. This transport request is contained in archive
LSMW_10_TO_18.CAR. Repeat the above described for the archive
LSMW_10_TO_18.CAR and the transport request U46K900160.
Important Possible error messages: see part 3!!

including 'R3TRTABU'
including 'R3TRTDAT'

Chapter 3: What needs to be done after the installation of

LSMW 1.8.0

Overview
This chapter describes the steps that need to be executed after the installation of
LSMW 1.8.0.

Prerequisites
You have installed LSMW 1.8.0 as described above.

Case 1: On the R/3 System no previous version LSMW was installed.

• Add one of the following profiles to your user master record:
• B_LSMW_SHOW (Display)
• B_LSMW_EXEC (Display and Execute)
• B_LSMW_CHG (Display, Execute and Change)
• B_LSMW_ALL (All)

Case 2: On the R/3 System LSMW 1.6 had already been installed before.
In this case you are done.

Case 2: On the R/3 System LSMW 1.5 had already been installed before.
In this case the following steps have to be carried out after the installation of LSMW
1.8.0:
• Run the program /SAPDMC/SAP_LSMW_REPAIR_15 once. This program adjusts
the settings of the file properties.
• Check for every object if the file properties are correct.
• Check for every object if the fieldmapping is correct.
• All generated programs (data read programs, data conversion programs) have to be
generated again. If, for example, you change the file properties, these programs will be
generated automatically. You can also generate the programs manually. To do this,
you have to select the steps „Generate data read program“ and „Generate data
conversion program“ in the „Personal menu“.

Case 3: On the R/3 System LSMW 1.0 had already been installed before.
In this case the following steps have to be carried out after the installation of LSMW
1.8.0:
• Add one of the following profiles to your user master record:

• If you wish, upgrade your LSMW data from LSMW 1.0. To do this, select the
function „Upgrade data from version 1.0“ in the first screen of transaction LSMW,
menu „LSM Workbench“.
