Update from SAP-BW 700 to NetWeaver 7.03

211 Views

Hello Gurus,

We plan the update our SAP-BW 700 system to release 7.31. After reading some notes we found out, that we have to split our dual stack installation first to choose this way. After that we found the possibility to install NetWeaver 7.03 instead of 7.31, without splitting the dual stack (because it is possible to split an 7.03 system in the future).

Release 7.03 and 7.31 have the same installation packages:

- See MOPZ XML file,

- See Note 789220.

Actually we have installed the following components:

SAP_BASIS 700 0018 SAPKB70018

SAP_ABA 700 0018 SAPKA70018

PI_BASIS 2005_1_700 0018 SAPKIPYJ7I

ST-PI 2008_1_700 0006 SAPKITLRD6

SAP_BW 700 0020 SAPKW70020

FINBASIS 600 0015 SAPK-60015INFINBASIS

SEM-BW 600 0015 SAPKGS6015

BI_CONT 703 0008 SAPKIBIIP8

ST-A/PI 01P_700 0000 -

If I define a update to 7.03 with MOPZ, the stack XML contains the following content:

SAP_BASIS 731 0004 SAPKB70018

SAP_ABA 731 0004 SAPKA70018

PI_BASIS 731 0004 SAPKIPYJ7I

ST-PI 2008_1_700 0007 SAPKITLRD6

SAP_BW 731 0004 SAPKW70020

FINBASIS 600 0021 SAPK-60015INFINBASIS

SEM-BW 600 0021 SAPKGS6015

BI_CONT 747 0002 SAPKIBIIP8

ST-A/PI 01P_700 0000 -

For an upgrade to NetWeaver 7.3 with SAP_BW 7.3 you need to install SEM-BW 6.04 first (See Note 1539356). Is it possible to use NetWeaver 7.03, which is an 731 installation, together with SEM-BW 600? Or do I have to install the newest SEM-BW component with help of the note 1326576?

And what is the difference between 7.31 and 7.03?

I also look into the guide “Upgrade to NetWeaver BW 7.3x” (http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/d00f4372-e2fa-2d10-1ea7-efdfacd07965?QuickLink=index&overridelayout=true&54417235662339), but this problem is not clearly to me 😊

Thank you for your help,

Best regards,

Matthias
