Hello:
We have a test server to upgrade from 4.6C to ECC 6.0 (or ERP 6.0) in ABAP STACK and I am in the PREPARATION process.
Please let me show the next data before asking:
Using SAINT I can see the next add-ons in my 4.6C system:
ST-A/PI 01E_R3_46C 0000 Application Servicetools for R/3 46C
ST-PI 2005_1_46C 0008 SAP Solution Tools Plug-In
Using SPAM I can see the next components and last support package applied:
SAP_OCS - SPAM/SAINT Update - Version 46C/0051
SAP_BASIS - SAPKB46C46
SAP_ABA - SAPKA46C46
SAP_APPL - SAPKH46C46
SAP_HR - SAPKE46C78
ST-PI - SAPKITLQD8
In the PREPARE process and PHASE IS_SELECT the system propose me:
Select the Add-on you want to make or change a decision:
Select no product, if you are finished.
? Add-on Id Start Rel Dest Rel Status Note
? EA-IPPE - 400 INST/UPG WITH STD CD 632429
? PI_BASIS - 2005_1_700 INST/UPG WITH STD CD 555060
? ST-PI 2005_1_46C 2005_1_700 INST/UPG WITH STD CD 539977
And during the PREPARE process and PHASE BIND_PATCH
The system proposes me to select values for the next components:
Support Package Level
Component min equi current select
? SAP_BASIS <none> <none> 0014
? SAP_ABA <none> <none> 0014
? PI_BASIS <none> <none> 0014
? ST-PI <none> 0006 0005
? SAP_BW <none> <none> 0016
? SAP_AP <none> <none> 0011
? SAP_HR <none> <none> 0022
? SAP_APPL <none> <none> 0011
? EA-IPPE <none> <none> 0011
? EA-GLTRADE <none> <none> 0011
? EA-RETAIL <none> <none> 0011
? EA-PS <none> <none> 0011
? FINBASIS <none> <none> 0011
? EA-FINSERV <none> <none> 0011
? EA-HR <none> <none> 0022
? EA-DFPS <none> <none> 0011
? EA-APPL <none> <none> 0011
? ERECRUIT <none> <none> 0011
? LSOFE <none> <none> 0011
? SEM-BW <none> <none> 0011
I am assuming the system has determined that these components and SP levels are what I need to unpack into /usr/sap/trans/EPS/in to apply during the upgrade.
I have two questions:
1) Is this mandatory to include all these components?
2) I cannot find the components SAP_BASIS, SAP_ABA, PI_BASIS, SAP_BW and SAP_AP into the Support package CD Stack 18. Are these components included in another CD or are they part of the upgrade export CDs?
3) Instead of SAP_APPL and SAP_HR I have SAP_APPL_600 and SAP_HR_600 respectively. Are these the same?
4) Where can I find especific information about this matter. The upgrade guides and the SAP version 😔 do not help me so much about this matter.
Many thanks for your help.
