4.6c Upgradfe to ECC 6.0 and 7.3

[Former Member]

We are running 4.6c, patch 44, on an AS/400 model 840 with v5r1. We know we're way behind the curve and need to upgrade.

We plan to move off the AS/400 and go to HP blade servers running Windows 2008.

My question is, can we upgrade straight from 4.6c patch 44 to ECC 6.0 and NetWeaver 7.3 without have in move to the latest 4.6c patch?

Thanks,

Hi Bill,

unfortunately, it is not possible, to upgrade to 6.0 with lower than V5R3 - support is available as of V5R4.

And then: ECC 6.0 contains Basis 7.00, 7.01 and in 6 month 7.02 - but NOT 7.3. 7.3 will be available as Basis release soon for e.g. BI.

So, either you need to upgrade your OS first or you need to upgrade to ECC after the migration. We did this at another customer in the US and were below 50h (including moving the data via the ocean). So, it might be worth, to think on "on-step" with migration first and then upgrade directly attached in one downtime.

If you do have more questions, just contact us offline, we did several of these kind of things ...
