WebAS version ?

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have SAP R/3 Enterprise 47x200 installed. I allways thougth that WebAS version is the same as BASIS, but I found this:

Like SAP Web Application Server 6.20, SAP Web Application Server 6.30 
consists, among others, of the following software components:
  a.. SAP Kernel 6.20
  b.. SAP_BASIS 620
  c.. SAP_ABA 620

So it's not the same ? So how do I check vertion of WebAS when ?

thanks

Hi Vilius,

You may assume as a rule that the WebAS version and the version of the SAP_BASIS component are one of the same thing. The example in your post was an unfortunate (but once-only) exception. In fact, the "WebAS 6.30" never existed on the ABAP side.

For Enterprise / ERP the following equivalence holds:

R/3 Enterprise (rel 47x) => WebAS 6.20 = SAP_BASIS 6.20

SAP ERP 2004 (rel 500) => WebAS 6.40 = SAP_BASIS 6.40

SAP ERP 6.0 (rel 600) => WebAS 7.00 => SAP_BASIS 7.00

With the introduction of Enhancement Packs for SAP ERP 6, the WebAS and SAP_BASIS may be at a higher version, e.g. you can combine SAP ERP 6.0 EhP 4 (release code 604) with NetWeaver 7.0 EhP 1 (SAP_BASIS 701).

Note that the SAP kernel may be in advance on the BASIS version, e.g. in your R/3 Enterprise system the SAP_BASIS component is 6.20 but the kernel is (or should be) 6.40.

Hope this clarifies things,

Thanks Mark, things look clear now.

Just one more question - you mentioned:

In fact, the "WebAS 6.30" never existed on the ABAP side.

So you mean Java AS ?

So java AS had level 630 ?

Hi Vilius,

Correct. For the AS Java a release "6.30" indeed exists (although there was never such a thing as a 6.30 kernel). On the ABAP side 6.30 was never released and the version jumped from 6.20 to 6.40 straight away.
