BW on HANA 7.4 -> BW on HANA 7.5

Hi Experts,

we are actually at BW on HANA 7.4 and we would like to move to BW on HANA 7.5 (Not BW/4HANA, because we have still in use a lot of 3.x Datasources.) We are planning to do this in SANDBOX first.

My question is:

Could you please suggest any possible action, check, tasks, risk (in relation to the actual 3.x Datasources and ODP vs SAPI Framework) that we should definitely pay attention to before/after doing the Migration?

Can we still use the SAPI framework or we should use the ODP Framework in BW on HANA 7.5. Also does the ODP Framework support the 3.x Datasources?

Thank you in Advnace,

BR

Hi Christoph,

thank you for your response. Do you think that switching from bw on hana 7.4 to bw on hana 7.5 any possible issues with the actual 3.x Dataflows that we currently have in use in our BW on HANA 7.4 may occur? We are not converting any object, but just updating SAP Netweaver to 7.5.

Thanks,

Regys

Hi,
If you are not planning to move to HANA, there is no need to upgrade to 7.50 at all
The latest Features for non HANA were delivered for 7.31 except the long InfoObject Names in 7.40

See the Presentation Upgrade to SAP BW 7.50

Hallo Roland,

thank you very much for finding time to respond to my answer. We are actually on BW on HANA 7.4 and we want to upgrade our SAP Netweaver to 7.5 (BW on HANA 7.5 SP10). Because we are using some of 3.x Dataflows, I was just wondering if some issues may arise by the migration?

Until now, I know that we don't want to install the BW4/HANA Starter Addon because that would put our system in compatability mode and then we may have difficulties with creating/managing 3.x Objects.


Thank you in advance.

Best Regards,

Regys

Hi,
Actually the Installation of the Starter Add-On has an option which is like the System State without the Add-On
