Transports from ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0

[Former Member]

Hello,

We are considering using transports from the 5.0 system to make configuration changes in the 6.0 system (and even some workbench items). Besides, the obvious issues with conflicting configuration, is there a technical reason why they should not attempt this? I look for notes to know it, and there are the note NOTE 1090842, but there are no answer for transports between realese ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0. Do you know if it is a special case?

Thanks in advance for your answer,

Hello,

This is always a bad idea.

However, if you feel like that, I only recommend it if you are transporting Z objects that you know perfectly. This way you can make corrections at the very moment the potential problem happens. Before the import, please compare both objects, in release 5.0 and 6.0, and look for the differences. Plan what would happen if the 5.0 object replaces the 6.0 one.

Don't do it with standard objects.

Hi,

Transporting from different releases is NOT supported for a good reason : The data model may have changed with the new tranport. You may potentially break your system.

If you really know what you do, it is possible but if you break your system don't complain to SAP or anybody else : you did something not supported !
