Is there a central note available yet for Upgrading to NW 7 EHP 5?

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I'm trying to find out if there is a central note available for upgrading to NW 7 EHP5.

I have note 1299009 which is the central note for upgrading to NW 7 EHP 2 but I'm trying to find one for EHP 5 specifically (if it exists at all).

The reason I'm keen to find this is because note 1299009 refers to downloading various software patches and fixes before starting your upgrade and it tells you the versons of the files you need, but it is specific to EHP2 and its not at all obvious which files to use if you are going to EHP 5 (or does it even matter?).

For example, you need to download the latest patch for SAPup. The oss note mentione for EHP 2 to use the 7.02 version. Logically it would follow that there might be a 7.05 one for EHP5? No there isn't, you just get 7.00, 7.01, 7.02, 7.10, 7.11 and 7.30 - how do you know which to use for EHP 5? (or is it just 7.02 still?). The current version of SAPup that comes on the DVD is 7.00/3. Hopefully you can see why I am confused.

The same is true for the correction needed for the upgrade package. The suggested one in the note refers to FIX_ NW02.UPG. On OSS the availble ones are the same as above (nothing with a 5!).

Any help appreciated.

Regards

Claire

Yes, its quite confusing...

Basically the base for an ERP 6.0 EHP5 and Netweaver 7.0 EHP2 is the same. You will get cross references in between them mostly everywhere.

Use the Upgrade Master for Netweaver 7.0 EHP2 which is compatible with ERP6.0 and then SAPUP will take you all the way to ERP6.0 EHP5.

So, theres no 7.05... ERP6.0 EHP5 is based on 7.02

Hope its helps

Dear Claire,

Let me clarify your doubts here.

There is no EHP5 for NW 7.0 yet. Its EHP5 for ECC 6.0 which brings in NW 7.00 EHP2 along.

ECC 6.0 uses NW 7.0 architecture and also note that NetWeaver 7.0 is also available as a independent product.

Now if you are having NW 7.0 as your product version then you need to apply EHP2 of NW on it to be on 702 release.

But if you are having ECC 6.0 as your product version then you need to apply EHP5 of ECC on it to be on 702 release which would also make 605 release for all other application components.

For ECC 6.0 EHP5 kindly refer the following SAP Notes:

1302772 - Central Note - SAP Enhancement Package Installer 7.00

1298878 - Installation of SAP Enhancement Package 5 on SAP ERP 6.0

I hope i could clarify your doubts.

Regards,

Abhishek
