Hi,

Why don't you install your system to EHP5 directly ?

Also, In order to get latest packages from solution manager system, you need to register your system first in solution manager and then you will get the patches.

Thanks

Since BP V1.604 can only be installed and activated on EHP4 that's why starting directly from EHP5 is not an option unless i consider manual configuration of the BP scenarios on top of EHP5 (which i am not aware how long it might take)

Yes, i am aware of using MOPZ to download the required EHP and SP for the up-gradation. I have also prepared a standalone SBX system following the route (ERP 6 -> EHP4 -> BP v1.604 -> EHP5)

What i am more interested in knowing is the sequence of activities when doing it for a Landscape (DEV, QA, PRD). Do i need to install and activate BP on all 3 systems (DEV, QA, PRD)? What part of this whole process requires direct installation on the system itself, and what part can be transported from DEV to QA to PRD?

Hi,

The Installation has to be done on all three Landscape however activation can be transported.
