Upgrade CE 7.1 to 7.2

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We upgraded our CE 7.1 to CE 7.2 and all the applications are working properly. But I have some doubts, if I want to do changes to one of the applications that we built using CE 7.1, do I need to follow a procedure to import the application in NWDS for 7.2?

Also do we need to create a new track in NWDI with the new versions of the software components or we can upgrade the SC of the current track? Our NWDI is 7.0.

Thanks,

Eduardo Campos

Hi Eduardo,

As your Application Server is running on 7.2 version, you will have to get a compatible CE 7.2 version of developer studio too.

Also the Tracks that are present in your NWDI 7.0 version will be required to be upgraded with the latest build time dependent SCA files of the 7.2 version too.

This is a step-by-step guide for setting up NWDI for Composition Environment.

Link:[HOW TO SETUP AN NWDI TRACK FOR COMPOSITION ENVIRONMENT DEVELOPMENT (SAP NETWEAVER CE 7.1)|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/7014086d-3fd9-2910-80bd-be3417810c6f?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true]

To update all the tracks with the latest .SCA files, follow the below mentioned steps...

1) you need to copy all the standard .SCA files of 7.2 version from the path /usr/sap/<SID>/SYS/EPS/buildarchives/ as mentioned in step 10 of the above manual to the CMS transport directory (<specified in the domain tab>CMSinbox) directory in order to make these dependencies available for your tracks.

2) Then, in SLD you have to modify all your software components that are used in track and replace all their build time dependencies to the 7.2 version.

3) Update the CMS,

4) Remove and add the tracks SCs back for your track.

5) Save the track, while saving always choose Save & Re-import button.

6) Check-In the latest 7.2 version SCA into Development and Consolidation tab.

You have repeat this for all the tracks.

Please revert in case of any further clarification.

it's better to set up a new track for ce7.2 and you have to use the right version of ide which is compatible to the ce7.2

you can forward the developed SC from track ce7.1 to track ce7.2.
