Release Date for IdM 7.2 SP10?

[jon_pryor]

In Nov. 2014, the PAM (Click Here) had the IdM 7.2 SP10 release date Q1 2015.  Today, SAP doesn't offer any window on when IdM 7.2 SP10 will be released.

Our plans where to install IdM 7.2 SP100 with NW AS Java 7.4 in our development environment by now.  Per SAP note 2036858, we must update to SP9 or SP10 before upgrading to IdM 8.0.  Unfortunately, we are on an earlier patch version on IdM 7.2 SP8 right now.

Questions:

1. When will 7.2 SP10 be released? We are wanting to go with SP10 if SAP will be releasing it soon to stay on the latest version for SAP support reasons.

2. NW AS Java 7.4 will only work with SP10?  Has anyone attempted it with SP9? We are wanting to move to NW AS Java 7.4 as all of our other SAP systems are on this version of NW AS Java version.

HI Jon,

we are planning the SP10 in the summer 2015.The main deliverable will be some specific UI improvements requested by customers and some bugfixes. SP9 also works with NW7.4 as stated in the PAM

If you do not need those specific UIs you still have the migration path from 7.2 SP9 to IDM 8.0.

Also you can make the upgrade to 8.0 from 7.2 SP8 in one upgrade project in 2 steps:

step 1 - go to SP9

step 2 - upgrade to IDM 8.0

Best wishes,

Fedya Toslev

Thank you for the quick response. I was informed that I could have clicked on 'SAP Stacks Maintenance Schedule' on the link that I provided in my original post and it would show Week 26/June 26 as the new relese date for SP10 as well.

I think this answers all of my quesitons along with your post.  Very much appreciated.

Thanks.
