Dear All
When we moved from SAP XI3.0 to SAP PI 7.1 One of the methodologies was a clean export / import method.
This allowed us to create a clean migration route between systems whilst still allowing for productive support for PI Interfaces.
We are now thinking of upgrading from PI 7.4 to PI 7.4
One of the issues i'm thinking about is that once the Development landscape is migrated from 7.1 to Version 7.4 we potentially won't have productive support and be able to move interfaces across the landscape.
I'm looking for two potential answers.
1 )If you have a development system running PO 7.4, can you still migrate interfaces across the landscape from Dev-QA-Prod..... I'm assuming not.
If the answer to one is negative, has anyone any experience of the upgrade paths from 7.1 to 7.4 and is the best method an Upgrade in place. Or a clean installation of a 7.4 system and the migration of the Interfaces via an Export / Import
I'm just investigating scenarios at the moment.
Many thanks
James
Thanks for all the responses. Something to consider once Fiori is out of the way.....

Please confirm on migration path from PI 7.0 to PO 7.4
PI 7.0 Dev to PO DEV (ESR objects export and import)
PI 7.0 Prod to PO Prod (ESR and ID objects export and import)
Please confirm. Its urgent
Hi James,
It's not clear from your question what you really going to do and that's why it's quite difficult to suggest you something. It's clear that you want to upgrade your 7.1 system to 7.40. But I was not able to understand to which solution you are going on 7.40 - PI (dual stack), PI (single Java without ccBPM) or PO (single java with BPM/BRM).
If your final release will be PI 7.40 dual stack than you can go both ways - new installation and migration of your scenarios OR direct upgrade from 7.1 to 7.40.
If your goal is PI 7.40 (java only without ccBPM) or PO 7.40 (Java only with BPM/BRM) than new installation is the only option for you.
BR,
Martin

Hi Martin, The single stack / dual stack is "to be decided" but I suspect due to lack of people and resources it will be a straight upgrade from PI 7.1 to PI 7.40.
The discussions will have to take place as they say :-).
Many thanks for you help, its nice to know the migration option is still available.
Cheers
James
Hi James,
from my experience I can say that it's always a huge question what is better - a straight upgrade or new installation. Both ways have advantages and disadvantages. For a straight upgrade you need to carefully test all interfaces after you finish an upgrade. So it's also time and people resourses :0)
Good luck in your project

Hi James,
Very soon, we will also start with the upgrade of our SAP PI 7.11 system to a SAP PO 7.4 system.
It will not be that easy because we want to redesign the ESR content and re-arrange the setup.
I would definitely go for a PO (thus single stack) system. It is perhaps not the easiest way to migrate to, but you will definitely benefit from all the advantages of a single stack + BPM & BRM.
Just a thought.
Kind regards,
Dimitri
Hi,
We were also in the process of considering migration of our interfaces from 7.11 to single stack 7.4 which we are using for our B2B scenarios. Other priorities have crept in the way but reviewing the current content for naming conventions, redundancy, etc. is an opportunity we will have. Had a chance to push really hard the best practice especially on naming conventions probably to the dismay of my team.
Regards,
Ryan Crosby
I'f forgotten to ask. Is the migration path still supported ?
Cheers

Hi James,
So you want to upgrade from PI 7.1 to PO 7.4?
In this case I recommend a complete new PO 7.4 installation and do the migration of the objects from PI 7.l to PO 7.4. You shouldn't upgrade the dev system only and do the rest later since this will anyway lead to issues due to the version difference of the DEV and the QA/PROD systems in this case.
Best Regards
Harald
