source system 4.6C: upgrade it to NW04s or ECC6.0?

Former Member

I see 2 documents on upgrade

1) basis 4.6C -> NW04s SP14 or lower

2) 4.6C -> ECC6.0

I do not understand why we have the first document : basis 4.6C -> NW04s SP14 or lower.

This is because we have HR in our 4.6C system, but NW04s does not have HR. So how we even

think about this upgrade?

Please help explain. Thanks!

NW04s and ECC 6.0 are the same thing.... ECC (Enterprise Core Component) has HR module installed by default... Netweaver 04s is now known as Netweaver 7.0 is just a platform or a suite.

For upgrade check http://service.sap.com/upgrade

You mean that NW7.0 also has HR and other functional modules? I think NW04s does not have them.

Please clarify. Thanks!!

NW04s and NW07 are same.

NW04s is just a platform, it doesn't contain any application like ERP. If NW04s platform is installed, then it doesn't contain HR module.

ECC6.0 is an application over it. It contains HR module.

The reason I raise this question is that in front of me there is a guide about "upgrade basis 4.6C to NW04S".

Our 4.6C has HR and some other modules in use.

So what is the point to upgrade 4.6C to NW04s (which has no HR, etc) as this guide provided?

Please clarify. Thanks!

Hi Christy

Since NW04s is a platform on which some of the following and many other applications can be installed, That guide is also there if you want to upgrade your old landscape to 'NW' (either it is NW04 or NW04S/NW07), So that, you will be able to install the following components/applications too instaed of a sinle one i.e. ECC 6.0 ABAP

WebAs Java

Enterprise Portal

BW

PI

Trex

... etc.

Right now if you will upgrade 4.6 to only ECC 6.0 ABAP, you do not need NW04s platform and you will get HR module in ECC 6.0.

'So what is the point to upgrade 4.6C to NW04s (which has no HR, etc) as this guide provided?'

This is required if your client wants all NetWeaver Components to be installed in their landscapes instead of just ECC 6.0

Please let us know if it is not clear.
