Hello Kishore Kumar,

The first that you have to do is generate and stack.xml file for your system with SAP Solution Manager.

Here you select your system and what update you can/want to do.

When you generate your stack.xml, SAP Solution Manager add all software need for your update in your basket (you have to aprove the software with SM).

Now you must download the last update of SUM software for your platform from the Sap Support Portal.

Here you can download helpful guides to use this tool.

When you run SUM tool, in your firsts steps, you will add the stack.xml file (in the same directory of the update software), and you will can continue with the update.

It is ver important read and understand the related notes of your EHP and SUM.

I hope that this can help you! Good luck!

Hello Kishore,

You must always ensure that all Software Components are at the same SP release. It is not supported to have any SP inconsistencies between the ABAP, Java and XI Software Components. 

For more details on patching PI systems and Software dependencies see the notes below:

1) 1381878 How/where to check the patch levels of your XI/PI system
2) 1746599 The difference between a PI Support Pack and a Patch
3) 1335523 FAQ: Deployment PI, PO and AEX Patches
4) 1794179 Importing AS Java Core patches for NetWeaver 7.1 or higher

If you are doing an SP update (as opposed to a Patch Level update), you will need to execute the wizard as per note 1444305 Configuration Wizard: PI / ESR Support Package Update

Hi Kishore

Preparation from PI side ---should include the evaluation of interfaces-to see if all functionality will be supported in upgraded version versus the version you are moving from-Read the related notes for PI for the release .From PI side run the post installation set up wizard (e.g PI EHP upgrade)
