Upgrade Path is not supported

[former_member182657]

Hi experts,

During SAP upgrade from ECC 5.0 to EHP7 to prepare a sandbox system,at the end of Configuration phase i'm getting message as below:

You have decided to use the DVD export "BS2013" containing SAP_BASIS release 740 SP 2. Your calculated destination release will be on SP 5.

This upgrade path is not supported.

Please contact SAP Support.

As i understand Business Suite dvd containing SAP_BASIS SP 2 but on generation of stack file for the system with EHP7 stack prepared with SP5.Now i'm hanged here.

Please navigate me to proceed further.

Thanks,

Gaurav

Good Day Gaurav

I strongly suggest you to raise an OSS message with SAP and get this clarified.

SUM guide says that the upgrade from ERP 5.0 to ECC 6.0 EHP 7 is possible.

Hi RB,

Greetings for the Day !!

Thanks for your suggestions.As i also searched on SAP Solution Browser

It's showing EHP7 functionality after selecting Source as SAP ERP 2004 & Target as SAP 6.0 EHP 7.So as per me also SUM supports up gradation from ECC 5.0 to EHP 7.

Let me raise a ticket with SAP for same.

Hi Gaurav,

As per the SUM guide , you need to upgrade to ERP 6.0 EHP6 first then plan the upgrade to EHP7.

Look into the path carefully in the chart shared above.
