What version of NWDS to use / NW 7.3 Support Package Version confusion

[Former Member]

Hi all,

what is the recomendation for the NWDS version to use. Shall it be equal to the version of the server (in our case it is 7.3SP5) or does the NWDS have its own versioning and one should use always the highest available- at the moment this would be SP7: https://nwds.sap.com/swdc/downloads/updates/netweaver/nwds/nw/730/doc/auto_com.sap.netweaver.develop....

The current information of the SP versions for NW 7.3 makes it more confusing. The SP-stack schedule says the next SP is No. 7 and will be available in April (the fact that there is already a SP7 NWDS raises the first question)

And in the maintenance guide section of SMP there is a SPS-Guide NW 7.3 SP6:

https://websmp109.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001406382011E.PDF

Can somebody shed some light what NWDS version to use and what is the next SP version for NW 7.3?

Thanks

Hi,

The SP Stack 05 will be followed by SP Stack 07. It is just renumbered from SP Stack 06 and follows the original

planning, It is not recommended to implement SP06 without applying SP Stack 07. And use of NWDS sp07 with

NW 7.3 sp07.is recommended.
