SAP Components required for EHP1 Upgrade

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have started the process of downloading files for an EHP1 upgrade of our current BI System (ABAP Stack only, Netweaver 7), with a Target Stack of SPS07.

Using the Maintenance Optimizer, I have selected the appropriate Kernel, SPAM Version and BI Content Patches and Iu2019m now in a position to download the SAP Components.

I am a little confused as to the list of SAP Components that have been presented via the Maintenance Optimizer, which provides the following list:

KITLRD3.SAR ST-PI 2008_1_700: SP 0003 ST-PI 2008_1_700

My confusion is that it doesnu2019t appear to be a full list, which is based on the assumption that I would have had to upgrade to the Latest SPu2019s, as viewed in the SLD first (see list below for reference)?

Is there a requirement to upgrade to the latest set of SPu2019s first, or can I upgrade to EHP1 SPS07 just using the list provided via the Maintenance Optimizer?

Our current SP levelu2019s:

In BOLD - Current SP/PL , Latest SP

BI CONT 7.03 8 16

6*PI_BASIS 2006_1_700 4 11

SAP ABA 7.00 14 21

SAP BASIS 7.00 14 21

SAP BW 7.00 16 23

ST-PI 2008_1_700 1 1

VIRSANH 520_700 12 15

Any help, much appreciated,

Hi,

No it is not necessary to upgrade to the latest SPS of the current version first (NW 7.0) before upgrading to 7.01.

All what it requires is a minimum SP/SPS level & you are already on that & MOPZ has therefore proposed only the files for 7.01

SPS.

Thanks Guys,

Thanks for your advice.

I have also decided to upgrade Solution Manager to the latest stack (25) to avoid any potential errors that may occur during the installation of EHP1 on our Netweaver BI instance.

Not Required to update to the latest SP's first,Just go by the list provided by Maintenance Optimizer, that would be sufficient for the Upgrade.
