Upgrade to EP 7.01 - do we need to patch ECC6 as well?

[Former Member]

We intend to upgrade to EP 7 EhP1 SPS 0

Do we need to patch ECC 6 ? We want to avoid patching ECC6 if that is possible.

We could not find any info in PAM and the we are going through the upgrade documentation. But it would help if someone could direct us to the right SAP note or link.

Thanks in advance

Hi,

We are also planning for upgrading EP and BI system from 7.0 to 7.1

What are guides you are followed for upgrades, can you please suggest us.

I searched and saw guides only for 7.0 . I didnt get guides foe 7.1

Hi Lakshminarayanan

I will checkout the guide and send it across to you. In the meanwhile I suggest that you create a new thread for this information as it will help you to get more responses from other members as well.

You don't need to upgrade the backend system... but its always a good idea to keep all systems up to date.

Hi Juan

I think if the customer uses XSS, they need to checkout the dependancy with ECC as well.

I got some notes from Cons' post:

Note 1243433 - ESS/MSS Component dependencies for ERP6.0 - NW04s

Note 908569 - Information about ERP 2005 JAVA Support Packages

Note 1303362 - ESS and MSS and Enhancement Packages 1,2,3

But these notes speak of upgrading XSS (and hence EP) if ECC needs to be patched. Whereas what we need is the other way around. The notes do not have much info on upgrading to EP7.01

Any other info would be helpful.

Thanks

Hi Prasad,

Yes, it is very important regarding the patch level for XSS system.

If you are using XSS system and you are upgrading the XSS Base and business package . Then it is Manditory to Update the backend system patche which should be Equivalent to EP XSS patchs.

EP XSS patches should ve equvilant to backend i.e ECC SAP_HR and EA_HR patches.

Yes, ESS/MSS is a nightmare of dependencies between the java stack and the abap stack.

That may be the real reason why SAP is supposed to rewrite completely ESS/MSS using abap web dynpros...
