In Unit 1 we define SAP Best Practices and discuss their delivery scope and how to use SAP Best
Practices in customer implementation.
Unit 2 focuses on the development structure and concept, including the Building Block Concept, the
development concept, the SAP Best Practices Baseline Packages, and the SAP Best Practices.
In Unit 3 we discuss various tools and accelerators, such as Business Configuration Sets (BC Sets),
extended Computer Aided Test Tools (eCATT’s), the SAP Best Practices Installation Assistant and
the SAP Best Practices Personalization Assistant. In this unit we will also do some demonstrations
and exercises.
In Unit 4 we talk about the tools used to deliver repeatable solutions. We will pay particular
attention to setting up a system for evaluation and implementation, SAP Best Practices Demo
Laptop, and SAP Best Practices Offline Demo Tutorials.
Unit 5 shows you what do you need to build a channel partner micro-vertical mySAP All-in-One
solution.
In Unit 6 the excersise to set up your own SAP Best Practices client will take place.

SAP Best Practices should be the basis for your mySAP All-in-One solution.
MySAP All-in-One Solutions are always partner solutions. Partners can develop their vertical
solution with the mySAP Business Suite, which is based on SAP NetWeaver, and the SAP Best
Practices platform. The partner solution should also contain services like training or hosting
offerings and a dedicated sales approach.

Partners have four options. You want to develop a solution or to localize a solution; you want to use
building blocks or not. VSDK provides information on these options in the Developer’s Guide and
the How to Guide.

The How-to Reference Guide provides a set of guidelines and tutorials on how to use the essential
tools in vertical solution development.
This guide is not supposed to be a technical manual, but is meant to help developers to rapidly get an
overview and basic essential information about a specific tool. If the developer needs further
information, they should consult the regular SAP technical Web sites or ask experienced
consultants.

Partners have three delivery options. The SAP Best Practices add-on delivery alternative is the most
flexible, but requires more effort. It is the best approach for implementation purposes.
For demo purposes, partners should use transports/DB image.

Partners should use the SAP Best Practices Installation Assistant and the SAP Best Practices
Personalization Assistant to build their own solutions.

How to build your micro-vertical solution?
Ensure a clean system, not containing settings.
Set up the system with SAP Best Practices Installation Assistant and use SAP Best Practices
Personalization Assistant to perform personalization.
Add you your own Customizing with transports or BC Sets.
Turn the solution into your own micro-vertical solution.

Upgrading SAP Solutions
SAP Best Practices are the basis of mySAP All-in-One
solutions developed by our partners.
The following upgrade considerations only cover a technical
upgrade and not other items on the mySAP All-in-One
solutions bill of materials, such as sales kits, training materials,
and so on. These need to be adjusted as well, but are not part
of the SAP Best Practices scope and are therefore not covered
in this overview.
There is no single recommended way to upgrade; the different
options are influenced by factors such as:
Time to market
Resources available and skill set
Current solution deployment strategy

Upgrade Procedure for Option 1
1. Technically upgrade your SAP system to the next release.
2. Check your system for your own and SAP Best Practices
Customizing.
3. Perform delta Customizing for the new release.
4. Test to ensure processes work properly.
5. Since you have lost the technical objects of SAP Best
Practices, you have only the delivery options client export and
database copy.

SAP AG 2005
Upgrade Procedure for Option 2
1. Set up a new system (release n+x).
2. Install the new SAP Best Practices add-on (release n+x) with
the SAP Best Practices Installation Assistant.
3. Perform your own Customizing and use transports or BC
Sets.
4. Test the entire solution and ensure that all the scenarios
work properly.
5. You now have the following delivery options: Client export,
database copy, and SAP BP + transports/BC Sets.

Upgrading the SAP Solutions: Conclusion
There are at least two upgrade options available to upgrade
mySAP All-in-One solutions containing SAP Best Practices.
Each solution is different, and so the upgrade path may differ.
The SAP Best Practices team can help you with analysis and
make recommendations based on your strategy and resource
and time constraints.
