Dear All,

My company is currently running on

Component version ECC 6 + Oracle 10.2.0.4.0 + Windows 2003.

Sap  Kernel Release - 700 - sup. pkg. level=201

We got instruction to update the ERP layer to the latest compatible version.

Kindly help us out by suggesting the latest working combination. Also we are confused between the difference of ECC6 & Netweaver.

Thank you for your prompt response.

is the upgrade sequence possible as per following,

first stage      = upgrade the oracle to 11g on same ECC 6 + Windwos 2003.

second stage = upgrade the Ecc 6 to EHP6 on Oracle 11g + Windows 2003

Hi,

Oracle 11g is not supported on Windows 2003. So you'll go through like below:

- Windows upgrade

- Oracle upgrade

- ERP 6.0 Upgrade

Dear Mr. Huseyie,

To convince my IT department for O.S upgrade, what proof I can provide them that "Oracle 11g is not supported on Windows 2003." ?

Hi Ashwin,

It's easy

Share the below picture with them or go through the service.sap.com/pam and check the Database platform info for EHP6 of ERP 6.0

Oracle 11 may be supported on Windows 2003 in general, but not for SAP systems using SAP Kernel 720. That is the tricky point.

Hi Ashwin,

The latest version of ERP is the ERP 6.0 Enhancement Package 6.

For upgrading to ERP 6.0 EHP6, you'll upgrade the NetWeaver ABAP layer under ERP from 7.0 to 7.0 EHP3.

Also, during upgrade, your Kernel will be updated to Kernel 7.20_EXT Unicode/Non-Unicode version.

Oracle 10g support is ended so you've to upgrade to Oracle 11.2.0.3 (latest one) as 7.20_EXT kernel is only supported on Windows 2008 (R2) and Oracle 11.x

So, your latest versions will be:

OS: Windows 2008 R2 x64

DB: Oracle 11.2.0.3

Kernel: 720_EXT (UC or NUC)

Basis&Abap: NetWeaver 7.03

ERP Components: ERP 6.06
