SAP ERP6.0 with EHP5 HR support packages have not updated

Former Member

Hi All,

We have installed a fresh system with SAP ERP 6.0 with EHP5. When we are checked all the components like SAP_BASIS, SAP_ABA, etc... all are on EHP5 level. But HR components ( SAP-HR* and EA-HR* ) are having with out EHP ( All are in reliease 600 and level 64 )

Our HCM consultant wants HR EHP5 functionality. My query is that,

1. Can we upgrade HR components alone ( system is having some 80 components regarding SAP-HR* & EA0HR* ).

2. Is it possible to do from SPAM or any other way around ?

3. Is it compulsory to update all 80 components related HR?

What is the better way to update HR ABAP packages.

Thanks in advance.

Sreekanth

I'm amazed you managed to update your HR components.

This blog explains HR packages

http://scn.sap.com/community/it-management/alm/software-logistics/blog/2012/12/21/why-ehp6-for-sap-e...

So seeing HR components at level 6.04 is correct depending on which ERP EHP you have upgraded to.

Hello Sreekanth,

I am able to see the delta package SAPK-604DHINSAPHR for SAP_HR 6.04 in SMP under Installations and Upgrades. Please search with term SAP HR.

Hi,

My present SAP_HR release 600 level 64 and target is release 605 level 4.

And you mean, we can update by transaction SAINT and SPAM as well or only with SAINT.

Thanks & Regards,

First apply 'SPAM/SAINT update' via 'SPAM'.

Then apply HR via 'SAINT'

Hello Sreekanth,

I don't think SAP_HR 605 exist. Highest release available in SMP is SAP_HR 604. So you need to download delta upgrade package for 604. There are no other packages available between 600 and 604.

You can upgrade both EA_HR and SAP_HR to the target patch level (including delta packages) from SAINT transaction. If you have to upgrade SPAM/SAINT patch, please do the same from SPAM transaction.

Please let me know if you need any further clarifications.

Hi,

Thanks Siva Kumar.

I am able to download EA-HR 602, 603, 604 Delta upgrade, but i am not able to find Delta Upgrade support packs for SAP_HR.

And also one query, should i run the upgrade by SAINT or SPAM.

Thanks & Regards,

Hello Sreekanth,

Yes, you should upgrade using SAINT/SPAM.

What is your target level of component SAP_HR? What is current level?

Hi,

Thanks Srikishan & Siva Kumar.

When i have added support packs through MOPZ there are only Attribute change packages available, there are no Delta upgrade packages. Please give me the path where i can get Delta upgrade packages for HR components.

So the process is put all the SAP_HR, EA-HR & Delta upgrade packages in EPS/in and call SAINT transaction. Please tell me if I am wrong....

Thanks & Regards,

Sreekanth

Hello Srikanth,

Yes. You can't download delta upgrade packages from MOPZ. This is what you need to do...

1. Download the delta packages from SMP in the below path.

Software Downloads --> Installation and upgrades --> Search for Installations and upgrades --> Search Team EA HR --> Select required version of EA-HR (ex: EA-HR 604) --> New window will open and there you will find Delta Upgrade, select that and you will find the delta upgrade package.

2. Extract the delta upgrade components along with other support packages into .../EPS/in.

3. Go to SAINT/SPAM --> Upload from app server and you should be able to see the delta package and other SPs in the queue.

Please let me know if you still nee any clarification.

Good Luck.

Thanks,

Hi,

The 'Central Applications' are EHP5 came with the installation but HR

components are not EHP5 only came with 600 release.

So, if we want to update HR components only do we need to update through

SPAM/SAINT or EHPi tool.

When we selected EHP5 upgrade through Solution Manager the 'Central

Applications' also selected (can not be un select & those are already

installed). and there are only HR components 603, 604 and 605 releases

are selected automatically but not 601 and 602.

Please suggest,

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

The system you installed is an ERP EhP5 'Ready' system - means its ready for more EhP5 technical usages to be installed.

This is because, the component SAP_APPL and EA-APPL would already be at 605 release in your installed system. These components are prerequisite for any other EhP5 technical usage installation. As these are at 605 after installation, hence the name EhP5 Ready.

Now to install HR, use the Solution Manager MOPZ to generate stack for the required technical usage type . And then apply the packages to your system via EhPI(recommended). As you already have EhP5 Ready system, SAINT also can be used, and MOPZ will take care of prerequisites and dependencies - will download the required packages.

Advantage of EhPI: Less downtime, more structured and SAP recommends this.

Advantage of SAINT: Less runtime, and fairly easy procedure..

Hello Sreekanth,

The 'Central Applications' are EHP5 came with the installation but HR components are not EHP5 only came with 600 release.

- As DatabaseSAP confirmed, only central application components will be at EHP5 and other components need to be upgraded separately.

So, if we want to update HR components only do we need to update through SPAM/SAINT or EHPi tool.

- Please use SAINT/SPAM to upgrade HR components. It's not good idea to upgrade SAP_HR and EA_HR via EHPi tool as runtime is more when compared with SAINT/SPAM. In fact it's lengthy process as you are upgrading only two components.

When we selected EHP5 upgrade through Solution Manager the 'Central Applications' also selected (can not be un select & those are already installed). and there are only HR components 603, 604 and 605 releases are selected automatically but not 601 and 602.

- Though Solman displays central applications components in the list, you can select required components/packages while downloading through download manager. Release 601 and 602 do not exist. Only 603, 604 and 605 are available after release 600.

Note: You need to go through the pre-requisties before upgrading SAP_HR and EA_HR to the latest release. In order to upgrade to latest release, you need to download "Delta Upgrade" package along with others.

Example: You need to download and extract 603 and 604 delta upgrade packages when you are upgrading to 604 from 603.

Hope your query is answered.

Good Luck.

Hello Sreekanth,

It seems you didn't read the installation guide carefully.

When we install ECC 6 EhP5 system, only the central application components are installed with 'EhP5' status. Other components will remain at 600/ECC 6 status until we explicitly upgrade them just after the installation.

So, this applies to HR SPs as well.

>> 1. Can we upgrade HR components alone ( system is having some 80 components regarding SAP-HR* & EA0HR* ).

Yes almost, but it may include some dependencies and then in this case you will have to upgrade other components as well - For e.g. SAP_BASIS, SAP_ABA etc.

Please check the prerequisites and dependencies.

>> 2. Is it possible to do from SPAM or any other way around ?

SAINT/SPAM

>> 3. Is it compulsory to update all 80 components related HR?

No. You just need to upgrade SAP_HR and EA_HR. It will automatically upgrade other 78 components as well.

Read the documentation.

Thanks

Upgrade HR component with EHPI tool. This is the better way.
