PI 7.1 installation & integration with ECC 6.0

[Former Member]

Experts,

We'd like to know if it is possible to integrate PI 7.1 with SAP Netweaver 7.0 ECC 6.0 without involving PI 7.0 into the picture. Someone from SAP told us that we need to have PI 7.0 if we have to upgrade it to PI 7.1. Is it really required? Can we not install PI 7.1 directly?

Hi,

SAP NetWeaver PI 7.1 contains all of the technology of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (PI) so you can use the newer release without having to also use a 7.0 system.

SAP NetWeaver PI 7.1 must be installed as a seperate system to the SAP ERP 6.0 system.

I think the confusion might be related to the fact that you cannot upgrade the SAP NetWeaver 7.0 runtime WITHIN the SAP ERP 6.0 system to SAP NetWeaver 7.1.

Cheers,

Mike.
