Upgrading to ECC6.0

[Former Member]

Hi,

Our SAP consultants have advised us to upgrade to ECC6.0; however they state the we will not be able to continue to use our CE.NET based hand held scanners and we should 'upgrade' the terminals to WM2005. Apparently we cannot upgrade the terminals, hence we will need to buy brand new WM2005 terminals!

This does not sound correct to me, if it works on WM it should work on CE.NET?

Is this true? Do we need to buy new hand held scanners if we upgrade to ECC6.0?

Thanks

David.

Hi David,

You didn't mention which version are you now? Can you give little more info about CE.NET scanner?

Hi Hari,

Thanks for the post. They are upgrading from version 4.7 The scanners they are using are our own products, LXE handheld scanners. They are using the MX7 handheld rugged scanner, which comes with CE.NET 5.0 Full details are on the datasheet:

Hi David,

It's a good idea to move to ECC6.0 from 4.7 because it's entering into Extended maint. from March 2009. I have not much exp. in working with scanners, what you can do is place acustomer message to SAP by http://service.sap.com.

If possible find out is there any chance to get this product supported from next Service Release ?( like SR1, SR2current .... of ECC6.0)

I hope this solve your problem,

Hari.
