Hi,

Understand that R/3 4.7 and ECC 6.0 are the same thing, just ecc is the newest version of R/3, R/3 name has been abandoned and it is now called ECC. ECC 6.0 is the newest release and is part of myErp 2005 which runs on Netweaver 2004s, but when you log on to Ecc 6.0, it will look very much like your 4.7 system.

ECC 6.0 means it is an latest version of SAP ERP package (ERP Central components). it will support for netweaver and BW. and some function modules also absolute. then occur statements also there is No longer support in ECC 6.0, so u can use standard table to declare the internal table.

First,, you should know that ECC 6.0 runs on top of NetWeaver 7.0 which is the latest release of NetWeaver, ECC 5.0 runs on NetWeaver 2004. In NetWeaver 7.0 you get new features in ABAP, like the enhancement framework, and Web Dynpro for ABAP, among other new features.

Hi Mehra,

<b> SAP ECC is part of the SAP ERP application (actually it is the minimal installation of SAP ERP). SAP ERP runs on SAP NetWeaver. So when you get SAP ERP you get SAP NetWeaver.

- SAP ECC 5.0 is part of SAP ERP 2004 [which runs on SAP NetWeaver '04]

- SAP ECC 6.0 is part of SAP ERP 6.0 (2005) [which runs on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (2004s)]</b>

ECC 6.0 is the core part of SAP ERP and requires the ABAP stack. It cannot run on the Java stack alone. There are certain application scenarios in SAP ERP that also require the Java stack.

<b>another import pts are :</b>

ECC stands for ERP Central Component / Enterprise Central Component, new version level of SAP R/3 ERP, the latest one as of June 2007 is ECC 6.0. They are also dubbed as SAP V5 and V6 or just SAP 5.0 or SAP 6.0. I think version transition time from ECC5 to ECC6 was too short, It seems like they just consolidated many component versioning in ECC6 with additional patches/support packages. I am sure it will be longer for (probably) ECC7 to come. I found at least 3 differences related to previous non-ECC version.

new in ECC5, BW (business warehouse or named BI / business intelligence in ECC6) is integrated with ERP. So probably you may have BW and ERP in one box if using ECC5 or ECC6. You can still have BW server without ERP component by installing Netweaver ABAP engine and additional BW components (as add-on and SP).

new in ECC5: double accounting, with double accounting you can have 2 or more ledgers in your ERP application, however in my experience in double accounting accounting using ECC5 (in one distribution company) there should be more effort and customer development if ERP going live time is different with double accounting going live time

Java kernel was introduced in addition to ABAP kernel. ABAP kernel still the main kernel for ERP function, however for other Netweaver package component like enterprise portal (EP), java kernel is main kernel. There is a configuration called “double stack” for a system that uses both ABAP+Java.

Additional notes for upgrade to new ECC:

might need new level of database version such as Oracle 10.1 or 10.2, there would be additional upgrade step for database

ECC needs more SAPS power and need re-sizing of our production SAP hardware

end of support maintenance for ECC 6.0 is 20013 (standard) and 2016 (extended), while 4.6C is 2006 and 2009, 4.7 is 2009 and 2012 (first quarter???)

there are table changes e.g. from enterprise 4.7 to ECC 5.0, there will be a lot of effort of customer program upgrade (Z* and Y* program which use the tables), however reimplementation is not suggested except there are a lot of issue son business process design on previous version and new business design is required

For complete details of delta function among the release, I can find in SAP notes and forum at sdn.sap.com , there is also nice tool at http://solutionbrowser.erp.sap.fmpmedia.com/ for this purpose. In my experience for technical component in ECC, ABAP engine is still and even more stable than Java engine, also Java engine needs more memory and CPU power or more SAPS number in hardware sizing (let me try to run Quick Sizer for both engine later). Its ABAP kernel in operating system level also has better support coverage as I find we must use WAS 640 ABAP kernel in R/3 4.7 ext 110 e.g. for AIX 5.3 (AIX 5.2 still can use the original package, it is WAS 620). The originalR/3 4.7 ext 110 kernel is WAS 620, however the kernel will produce error when tcode SICK is run in some platform.

MySAP ERP 2005 and MySAP ERP 2006 seems to me like business packaging for SAP product implementation. MySAP ERP will include ECC5 or ECC6 and other SAP product such as BW/BI, Solman, XI, EP, etc. I still have question regarding IDES license on this package.
