Hi Gaurav,

We recently upgraded from SP05 to SP07. While I do not recall any issues, I do have some recommendations.

• If your shop adhers to standard SDLC (Software Development Life Cycle) standards, then treat this upgrade no different from a code change. When performing an upgrade, alway apply the SP to a DEMO region. Do a full regression test - make sure you didn't break anything. This will give you a chance to see any issues and to open messages for resolutions.

• Make sure to retain a copy of the prior version's install files in case you need to completely uninstall and start over.

• ALWAYS archive before applying the SP and after the SP.

In other words, be safe and don't be afraid to move forward.

Regards,

Similaryly read for SP06 fixes at - http://help.sap.com/saphelp_mdm71/helpdata/en/be/e0048b426b4c20957078b61ec71e46/content.htm

These links gives you an idea of what all changes are going to come into your new system. So unless you upgrade to SP07 i.e. the latest version and test it in DEV/Sandbox environment you should not plan to move ahead in Production. This is always recommended but there is very less chance that the already working solution will not work as expected after the upgrade.

Thanks,
