Can't find BASIS 2003_1_620

[Former Member]

I'm using the BW 3.1 downloads to stand up a demo machine and then bring it up to current service with packages and upgrades. But I cannot find the 2003_1_620 upgrade package. The patches are out there, but not the package itself.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Tim:

Is 2003_1 intended as your target release or

were you using it as a buffer to a higher release ?

Federico,

My goal is to get to PI_BASIS 2004_1_620. I have not tried "just doing that" and ignoring 2003_1_620. I also have not looked into stacks that could get me there. I was trying to get there one step at a time.

I also think that the portal is in error for not having 2003_1_620 available, but this is something I would care less about correcting if it wasn't in my way.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tim

Hi T:

This is what I have found:

SAP Basis Plug-In 2003.1

(PI_Basis 2003.1)

Availability

Installation/Upgrade: April 2003

Maintenance

No longer in mainstream maintenance (End of maintstream maintenance January 31, 2006).

Prerequisites

For installation of the SAP Basis Plug-In 2003.1, the minimum Support Package Level of SAP_BASIS 620 and SAP_ABA 620 is SP14.

Release Restrictions

SAP Note 602306 Release restrictions SAP Basis Plug-In 2003.1

Other Important Notes

SAP Note 597638 Installation and Upgrade SAP Basis Plug-In 2003.1

Customers using SAP R/3 Enterprise 47x110

You should only upgrade to the SAP Basis Plug-In 2003.1 when you also plan an upgrade of the SAP R/3 Plug-In to PI 2003.1.

Seemed to me that is no longer available...

What's bizarre is that:

1) 2002_2_620 (older than 2003) still is available

2) patches for 2003_1_620 are still available

3) patches for SAP_BASIS reference 2003_1_620 as a prereq

I'm basically stuck without it and don't know what recourse I have with SAP to get it put back out in the donwload area.

Hi T:

If you are talking about PI_BASIS I think there's no such version 2003_1_620, on the other hands if you are looking for PI there's a 2003_1_<rel> but <rel> refers to your current release level like 46C or 470 not to BASIS system release.

You can find all the downloads under https://service.sap.com/swdc

Hope this helps!

Frederico,

Hi. Yes, I meant PI_BASIS, and also yes, I was referring to the software download area. The problem is that I have SAP_ABA and SAP_BASIS patches for 310 that list PI_BASIS 2003_1_620 as a prereq. I can find PI_BASIS 2003_1_620 patches, but not the upgrade package.

Bigger picture, I started with the 310 CD downloads - barebones BW 310 system with no maint and really old kernel. I am trying to get up to kernel 1773 and current maint on all components. For PI_BASIS this would be 2004_1_620. The progression for PI_BASIS to get there is:

2002_1_620 (came loaded)

2002_2_620 (I downloaded and installed with SAINT)

2003_1_620 (can't find on download area)

2004_1_620 (that's out there, but I can't just jump to it, can I??)

There are also OSS notes that reference 2003_1_620 and the associated PAT file that SAINT would process. I think that the download portal is in error, but don't know how to report that.

Thanks,

Tim

From software download portal:

My Company's Application Components

My Company's Application Components" PI_BASIS

PI_BASIS

PI_BASIS 2002_2_620

PI_BASIS 2004_1_620

PI_BASIS 2005_1_620

From Note 663960:

You must upgrade the PI_BASIS component step by step, that is, from PI_BASIS 2002_1_620 patch level 5 (SAPKIPYF55) or higher to PI_BASIS 2002_2_620 patch level 4 (SAPKIPYG54) to PI_BASIS 2003_1_620 patch level 3 (SAPKIPYH53) or higher.

Even when searching all components I can't find the upgrade.

Thanks again,

Tim
