Install or upgrade Gateway 2.0 for Duet Enterprise FP1

[avishek_gorai2]

Hi,

We are checking the technical feasibility for upgrading to Duet Enterprise FP1 from Duet Enterprise 1.0 and followed the Guide from the learning maps for FP1 (Preparing the Environment for Duet Enterprise u2013 Feature Pack 1). However we are confused if we have to install Gateway 2.0 on the existing Duet NetWeaver 1.0 system or if there is an upgrade to Gateway available for existing Duet Enterprise 1.0 installations. Please clarify and validate the steps if you have completed the same successfully or are in expert in this area:

1. Install/Upgrade Gateway 2.0 on Duet Enterprise system (require clarification here)

2. Upgrade to IW_TNG 200 on the Duet Enterprise system

3. Import XI content in ESR

4. Complete set-up for FP1

Please clarify step 1 and comment on the sequence of the other steps.

Regards,

Avishek.

Hi Avishek,

The upgrade from Duet Enterprise 1.0 to Duet Enterprise FP1 is supported.

Your Duet Enterprise 1.0 system would have SWCs like IW_FND 100, IW_CNT 100 (This is collectively called as Gateway 0.5)and IW_TNG 100. Now the system can be upgraded to Gateway 2.0 and then upgrade IW_TNG from 100 to 200.

You can get more details about the upgrade from the "Upgrade Guide" in Service Market Place. You can access it from service.sap.com/instguides -> SAP Business Suite Application -> Duet Enterprise -> Feature Pack1 of Duet Enterprise 1.0 -> Upgrade Guide.

Thanks,

Hi Giri,

Thanks for your answer and pointing to the installation guides, our confusion still prevails inspite of going through the upgrade guides. The guide instructs to install Gateway 2.0, but some of the components of Gateway namely IW_CNT and IW_FND are already present in the Duet Enterprise 1.0 installation,

Do we just ignore these components and install Gateway 2.0 and in the process these components gets upgraded or is there a specific way to upgrade to Gateway 2.0 for duet Enterprise 1.0 existing installations.

Hi Avishek,

when you start with your update of Feature Pack 1, you will first install GW_CORE 200 via SAINT (well, before that you start to update NetWever to SP09). Then you will update (using SPAM) IW_FND to IW_FND 250.

Once that is done you can update IW_CNT and IW_CBS to 200. Finally you can install IW_TNG 200.

Holger.
