GRC support Pack Upgrade

[#1]

I am using GRC version 5.3 SP 13 on NW 7.01 SP 07.  I have been asked to upgrade the support level of GRC.  When I go to the GRC patches on SAPNET it seems that the only componts available are the 5.3 SP versions - 13 to 19 which is fine.  I would like to know is it advisable or a pre req to also upgrade the NW SP level?  From what I have read I only see that the GRC 5.3 updates are required.  I have read OSS note 1433940 and I don't see any dependancies for the NW stack, however just wanted to make sure as the note mentioned upgrading NW 7.0 to 7.01.

Also when upgrading the GRC component is a requirement to also update the RTA versions on the connecting systems?

Any help or advise would be really apprciated.

Thanks

Thanks for your replies - With my current version of GRC 5.3 it seems that I can go upto GRC 5.3 SP18 as I am on NW 7.01 SP7

As NW 7.01 is now at SP12 - Would it be best practice to upgrade the NW to SP 12 and then upgrade the GRC after to 5.30 SP 18?

I have only read information on updating the GRC components however I can't see no notes stating the best practice for the NW stack.

Any help would be apprciated.

Thanks

Hi Ajay,

They both are independant.

If you are upgrading NW stack, then you need to upgrade GRC at the same time while upgrading NW.

However it is better to upgrade NW stack first and then GRC SP level.

There is no as such best practices to upgrade NW Stack with GRC.

Hi Ajay,

The recommended support pack level for the target Netweaver system is always the latest released.
