SAP R/3 4.6 may not be supported anymore, and I think that Enhancement Package 5 (for ECC 6.0) is or will be available soon.

There are a lot of on-line documentation available on the difference (Delta) between versions.

ECC means Enterprise Central component.

SAP R/3 4.7 is based on the 3-tier architecture. SAP is continuously

upgrading the software, which is called as release versions for example SAP

R/3 4.6C, SAP 4.7..

Now SAP evolved into using the Internet technology and is called as *

service* oriented architecture (SOA). There are lots of functionalities

available in ECC 5.0 and ECC 6.0 compared to R/3 in integrating with other

systems.

Some of the differences ABAP Module side:

1. For installing ECC 6.0 you required a solution manager key. With out

solution manager key you cannot install ECC6.0.

2. ECC 6.0 is called net weaver component here you have ABAP+JAVA stack &

for installing 4.6 you don't require solution manager key. It only

having ABAP stack.

3. ECC6.0 supports UNCODE & 4.6C supports NONUNICODE.

4. Major difference is ECC6 is net weaver product having WASJAVA+ABAP -

secondly support Unicode

In the new version we have enhancement points and enhancement sections along with enhancemnts and BADI'S.SAP has provided these ,so that without going for access keys we can write our code in the enhancement points along with Standard SAP code.So now SAP has provided more user friendly environment.Also a new DEBUGGER also arrived with the new version.Now we can see more things in the new er version of DEBUGGER.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks

Dear Sudheer,

What ever asuthosh said is correct.

versions will be updated with all type of upgradations and additions.

We cannot say specifically, these are uploaded, becuase version is nothing but adding no. of patches to the current version and it consists N no. of notes.

all the best...
