Upgrade dependencies BI 7.0 - ECC6 EHP4

[Former Member]

Hello,

the guys who are responsible for our ERP backend-system want to move

ahead with the latest Enhancement Packages and patches. I am not sure

if we would run into problems on our BW system 7.0 without EHP1.

Please let me know if EHP4 on ERP6 is supported with BW 7.0 or

if there are any known problems/solutions.

Best Regards

Martin Schmitt

Hi,

ECC6 EHP4 is absolutely compatible with BW 7.0 without EHP1. You shouldn't get any problems in that scenario.

You should however check that if you want to activate additional business content, you have the content required for the source system available.

Also EHP1 of BW 7.0 is great - woudln't be a bad thing to patch that too.

Hello Anand Kumar,

thank you for the information. But i think you got me wrong. I don't need information für BW 7.0 EHP1. I need to know if there are any dependencies for BW 7.0 if we upgrated to EHP4 on source system which is a R/3 - ECC 6.0.

For example we have to import at least SP19 for our SAP NW ECO 5.0 System when we Upgrade on R/3 to EHP4. So now i want to know if we also have to upgrade our BW 7.0 System. Are there any known problems...

Best Regards

Martin,

The main dependency of ECC on BW is the extractors and their plug ins...

refer note : 0000153967 - it should not be an issue if you upgrade your ECC - provided your BI and ECC are in separate boxes...
