How to upgrade NetWeaver 2004 SS19 to 2004s SPS10????

[Former Member]

Hi,

I cannot find any useful information on HOW to do this. Some links I follow eventually lead me to this page:

https://websmp201.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700001130682005E

which say that if you're running NW2004 SS19, it must be upgraded to SPS10.

Furthermore, NW2004 uses SAPINST, but NW2004s uses JSPM. I can find info on updating NW2004 and NW2004s installations, but how do i get the stack from NW2004 to NW2004s????

Any help would be MOST appreciated!

Thanks!

Hello David,

The upgrade tools are able to include SP Stacks of your target release into the upgrade procedure:

1. The tool checks your current SP Stack and gives you the information which minimum SP Stack level you should use for your target release (the so-called "equivalence Support Package level"). This Support Package must be included so that no data is lost in the upgrade.

2. You download the required SP Stack level (or a higher level) from SAP Service Marketplace and enter in the GUI of the upgrade where your SP Stack files of SAP NetWeaver 2004s are located on your hard disk.

3. The tool will then upgrade your system from SAP NetWeaver '04 to SAP NetWeaver 2004s and also apply the downloaded SP Stacks.

So, the result of the upgrade in your case would be an SAP NetWeaver 2004s SP Stack 10 system, no manual patching would be required as part of the upgrade.

For more information, see the upgrade guide for SAP NetWeaver 2004s (available at http://service.sap.com/upgradenw2004s). There, also the Upgrade Master Guide is available that provides further information concerning the planning of your upgrade.

I hope this information helps to get an idea of the overall procedure.

Best regards,

Boris
