SAP XI/PI product delivery question

[Former Member]

Hi!

I am on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SPS 13 and use SAP XI 7.0.

I have seen on SAP Service Marketplace that new SAP NetWeaver Versions are available:

- SAP NetWeaver EHP1

- SAP NetWEaver PI 7.1

My question:

1) First of all: Make it sence to update the SAP NetWeaver 7.0 to SPS 17

2) Can I then update SAP NetWEaver 7.0 SPS 17 to SAP NetWeaver EHP1?

3) Is is possible to update SAP NetWEaver 7.0 with SAP NetWEaver PI 7.1?

If yes, what is the procedure here?

Thank you very much!

regards

Holger

Hello,

Please do find the answers to your questions below:-

Answer1: As per SAP it makes sense to always update the SAP software to the latest patch. I would recommend my customer to always upgrade the system to latest patch only if it is recommended by SAP to solve a issue and if they do need a new functionality.

Answer2: EHP patching co-exists in relation to the SP stack of the existing release. Minimum SP stack level required to update a 700 release system to EHP1 = SP15

EHP1 SP0 = SP16

EHP1 SP1 = SP17

and so on

Answer3: Yes it is possible to upgrade the PI7.0 to PI 7.1. Kindly check the PI 7.1 upgrade guide for further information

Rgds,

Mat.

I dont think there is SP 17 for PI 7.0

EHP1 is for 7.1 release

Yes. You can upgrade from 7.0 to 7.1

The guides for this are available in the product specific upgrade of OSS!

It is usually always sensible to perform an upgrade. SAP always recommend it.

Check EhP1 related restrictions in SAP Note 1004107.

Are you sure SP 17 is out for PI 7.0?
