Upgrade SAP NW to EhP2 but not SAP APPL 600

Hi SDN,

I'm searching for some documentation to know if it's possible to upgrade only the Basis NW component of an SAP ERP 6.0 installation without upgrading ERP Components to any EhPx. I didn't found any documentation telling me that it's possible or it's not possible.

The final system should be something like SAP BASIS 7.02 with SAP APPL 600, taking into account the SP equivalence.

The goal is to migrate the ERP 6.0 system to SYBASE.

Do you know about any documentation with this kind of information?

Thanks in advance,

Pedro

Hi Pedro,

Is it only the SAP kernel that you really want to update?

SAP now recommends the 720 kernel which is backwards compatible with your release.

Please also see below notes for relevant information.

1629598  SAP Kernel 720 will replace older kernel versions

Hi Paul,

no, the requisits for SYBASE are according to note

Note 1591424 - SYB: Heterogeneous system copy with target Sybase ASE

The target system on Sybase ASE will always be a Unicode system.

ABAP SAP_BASIS 702 SP9, minimum

but as we're in BASIS 700, we have to upgrade to 702, my question is for documentation supporting that we can maintain SAP_APPL 600 and upgrade only the BASIS component.

we've already Kernel 720.

Thanks,

Pedro

It is not possible to Upgrade only the Netweaver stack of a ERP system. You have to upgrade your

ERP system. EHP6 for ERP 6.0 is based on the EHP3 for SAP Netweaver 7.0  (SAP_BASIS 731). So once you upgrade your ERP system to EHP6, your netweaver will also be upgraded to 731.

Hope it clarifies your doubt.

Hi Pedro,

that is not possible, as Premsukh said. When you goto the SolutionManager's maintenance optimizer to generate the stack XML file, it won't let you upgrade only the NW components of an ERP system.

Not to mention the Application components' compatibility. It's mandatory to upgrade the full system.
