Hi Pradeep,

First step is to go to this site https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/solutionmanager

Have a look at the demo for installing EHP1 for Solman. It took me 2 days to install it. But this was because I faced a tp buffer issue, and had to clear the tp buffer from the OS level.

Also, take a look at the expert guided implementation in the same site, to see details about your specific scenarios in Solman.

To find more details about the new features in EHP1 for solman, take a look at this https://websmp203.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700002004032008E

Hope this will be of help to you.

Hi

Yes, there will be some impact on the scenario. You have to do complete testing and ofcourse reconfiguration if needed.

I faced an issue with Service Desk message creation after upgrade to EHP1.

Hi Pradeep,

Once you install NetWeaver EHP1 on Solution Manager, the new functionalities and enhancements come into effect immediately. You don't have any control on what functionality you can choose. This is different from EHP4 for ERP, where you have the option to select and activate new enhancements.

So its always recommended to test all your configured scenarios in Solman.

Cheers
