ECC6 Upgrade and EHP 4 because of a CRM7 in the landscape?

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am in the way to upgrade my SAP 4.6c system to ECC6.

In my overall landscape, I have a CRM 7 installed.

Do you believe I need to perform a simple ECC6 upgrade or a ECC6 upgrade including EHP4 SR1?

In other words, is it mandatory to go through the Upgrade + EhP4 because I have a CRM 7 around?

Thank you,

Chris

Hi,

I think its better if you will go from SAP 4.6 c to ERP 6.0 with EHP4. It will save a lot of time..

As far as CRM 7 is concerned it does not have dependency on it...

Thanks

Thanks for your quick answer.

Could you give me some examples when you say that it will save a lot of time?

I noted there is no dependencies with CRM 7.

Thanks,

Hi,

according to my view upgrade from SAP 4.6c to ERP 6.0 EHP4 is easy because you can save your time in all preparation task that you to carry before starting upgrade as EHP upgrade itself takes time for preaprtion task....

also, you can reduce the downtime of your production environment if you will directly go to ERP EHP4..

As EHP4 takes significant downtime to upgrade the system ( also depends on hardware and database size)...

Also, you can reduce probablity of error free upgrade by carrying out one upgrade instead of carrrying out 2 upgrade (from SAP 4.6c to ERP6.0 then ERP6.0 to EHP4)...

Hope it clears to you...

Thanks

I agree with you, EHP 4 will shortest the overall plan and will ease and make fast future new functionalities. SAP provided a standard roadmap to ECC6 using EHP4 SR1.
