SUM for EhP duration with respect to Source and Target

[benoit-schmid]

Hello,

I have a naive question concerning the duration of an ehp upgrade with the SUM.

Does it grows linearly with source and target version or not?

In other words, lets take the following examples

U1: Source = ECC 6.00 -> Target = ECC 6.02 with a duration D1

U2: Source = ECC 6.00 -> Target = ECC 6.06 with a duration D2

1. Can we say that D1 is going to be similar to D2?

2. If no, can we say that D2 is going to be three times D1?

3. If no, can we have an idea on how much more D2 is going to be compared to D1?

Thanks in advance for your answers.

To be honest, I don't think this is an exact science. All depends on the amount of changes the enhancement packages bring. The only way to know for sure is to do a test run in a Sandbox prior starting the deployment in the Landscape.

I am not asking for an exact number.

I would like to have a rough idea.

Hi Benoit,

Based on my experience

1)  U1: Source = ECC 6.00 -> Target = ECC 6.02 with a duration D1

     This will take around 80 hrs including downtime for upgrading a vanilla instance of ECC 6.0 to EHP2.

2) U2: Source = ECC 6.00 -> Target = ECC 6.06 with a duration D2

     This will take around 96 hrs including downtime for upgrading a vanilla instance of ECC 6.0 to EHP6.

Incase source system is not a vanilla SAP instance, above duration shall vary. You shall need to perform test upgrade to get exact durations.

Hope this helps.

Does this information answer your query?

Hello

1. Can we say that D1 is going to be similar to D2?

No. I am sure the duration will vary.

2. If no, can we say that D2 is going to be three times D1?

Possibly Yes.

3. If no, can we have an idea on how much more D2 is going to be compared to D1?

It all depends on the hardware configuration you have.

For sure the second system will take more time than the first one. This can be done in a week's time (taking only the business hours into consideration).

Cheers
