EHP1 is basically a product enhancement of 700 - i.e offers new functionality

Usually to get to Enhancement packages you need to be operating NW2004S stack based product - in this case 4.0 (now called Solution Manager 7.0)

I think this proposal will require first an upgrade from 3.2 to 4.0

then after applying Enhancement Package EHP1 and following pre-reqs for both steps

Also bearing in mind that Solution Manager is RFC dependant any change in SID, Hostname or client will require

all RFC connections will need to be adapted

There may also be special considerations depending on source configuration or the active Solution Manager scenarios and content

I would take a look at following PDF for reference - it may help in the initial 3.2-->4.0 upgrade

HI,

From Solman version 3.2 -> 7.0 , this is an upgrade (7.0 used to be known as also solman version 4.0)

see also this note on the name change

7.0 -> 7.0 EHP1 is just a SPS level update

please have a look at this note, it has the details of individual stack levels updates, starting with SPS 18

Hello

Please keep in mind yopu cannot upgrade directly from Solution manager 3.2 to EHP1.

You need to upgrade to Solution Manager 4.0/7.0 SP17, then from SP 17 you can go to EHP1.

Hope this information is helpful.

Regards,

Paul

Hello Sanjay,

You should check the Solution Manager area of http://service.sap.com/instguides -> upgrade.

From Solution Manager 3.2 to Solution Manager 7.0 or EHP1 for 7.0 there is already an upgrade, not just a Support Package level update, so please go to the upgrade guides.

Please bear in mind that a 64 bit system is needed for EHP1 for Solution Manager 7.0 installs.

When you upgrade your system from 3.2 to 4.0, it becomes 7.0 after applying SPS, and becomes 7.01 after applying some more.

You should upgrade to EhP 1
