Upgrade effort R/3 4.6C to 4.7 or mySAP ERP

[Former Member]

Hi,

I am not sure whether this is the right forum for this question...

I was asked to come up with some estimates for an upgrade if we move from our current 4.6C system to 4.7 or myERP - we are on ISeries OS/400 (all modules except HR).

It is my understanding that 4.7 either runs on WAS 6.20 or 6.40, so I assume the technical effort will be in about the same between 4.7 and mySAP ERP but how about the functional part of the upgrade?

Any rough estimate on the timeline we are looking at if we go to 4.7? I know this depends on a lot of factors, but again we just need a rough estimate to see how much time we should allocate.

Maybe someone out there did something similar and can share some experience?

Thanks a lot!

Guenther,

I have done the 4.6c to 4.7 upgrade and it was a piece of cake. We also ran ISeries and shortly before the upgrade we did a platform migration to Intel (Windows 2003)/SQL Server 2000 which was also extremely straight forward.

I am sure that if I did some digging I could find the documentation that we developed for both.

As a side note, the platform migration was well worth the effort we saw a huge increase in performance and stability has been pretty much the same 99.999

Just getting organized after our building move, but I see if I get it put together this week. Are you doing a migration from DB2 to SQL ?

Hello Paari:

SAP consulting has regional organizations to help customers specifically with upgrades, you can find their resources and contacts and a wealth of specific ERP upgrade information at: service.sap.com/upgrade-erp

Hello Darrell,

I know that SAP has to do money with consulting and so on and the website service.sap.com/upgrade-erp is such a wunderful website, but I have been searching for an hour and do not find the specific path or any guides for upgrading from 4.6c to 4.7. If someone here wants to help, do not stop him please. SAP does not belong to you uncle and just through us SAP became what it is. We are not selling software on the black market, we just help eachother to make SAP bigger. So Don't worry! helping eachother in straight ways is better than overload the webserver from SAP without finding the guides you need.

So if someone can send me the upgrade path from 4.6c to 4.7, I would be very grateful.

Regards,
