Upgrade to BW 7.3x - ABAP

NetWeaver Java 7.3x is now shipped together with BW 7.3x. Mandatory you should separate

the Java Stack prior to the Upgrade of the ABAP Backend, if not already done.

The new split/deinstallation tool for the Java Stack is expected to be available November

2011. If you are already in the process, consider the manual deinstallation of the Java Add-In

until it’s availability.

The BICS are moving to the upcoming SAP BusinessObjects Application Platform BI 4.x,

which is also a prerequisite for the full usage of the BEx successor - Analysis -

The Java component BW-IP modeler is redeveloped for BW 7.3x in ABAP HTTP, so the Java

Server will not be used anymore for the BW-IP infrastructure in the future after BW 7.3x

The new BI Authorization concept is now mandantory. Despite the fact that you either create a

7.0x System beforehand to migrate the old BW Authorization, a potential Upgrade from BW

3.5 to 7.3x would be possible.

NetWeaver 7.0 EhP3 is merged into NetWeaver 7.3x EhP1 (there is no 7.03, only 7.31).

All Components are using one consolidated Version of the Kernel (7.20 Unicode-EXT 64-BIT).

For compability reasons there are non UC/non EXT Versions available (no 32-BIT anymore)

The full (currently only limited by size of the DB) BW on HANA Support is available

with 7.30 SP07 and 7.31 SP04

Solution Manager pre requisites

incorrect stack.xml can create unwanted follow up errors

In order to successfully work with the Solution Manager to create necessary

stack.xml, which is a new requirement in NetWeaver based upgrades the following

checks had to be fullfilled prio to the cration of the stack.xml.

■ Suffient privelidges for the s-user, which is connected to the Service Market Place (SMP)

■ Updated PPMS data, to ensure the correct processing of the desired Upgrade Target‘s

■ Latest SP‘s/correction/Notes for the correct usage of the Solution Manager applications

For more information about the Maintenance Optimizer, see SAP Support Portal at

■ http://service.sap.com/solman-mopz

Furthermore if you have ERP components installed, eg. the SEM Add-On, consider

■ Note 1326576 - SAP NetWeaver Systems Containing SAP ERP Software Components

■ For NetWeaver 7.01/SEM 6.04 you cannot add ERP components together with NetWeaver

■ From NetWeaver 7.02/SEM 6.05 you must define the System as ERP EhP5 and select FINBASIS

and SEM-BW

Upgrade to BW 7.3x - ABAP

Note 1532805 - Add-On Compatibility of SAP NetWeaver 7.3

There is a SEM Add-On (only for the Upgrade) available with BW 7.30. The SEM (6.34) Add-

On is available since end of Q1/2011 for all Customers. See Notes 1539356 and 1531022 for

more details. SEM 6.34 cannot be installed on a fresh BW 7.30 Installation

SEM 6.34 is HANA enabled, see Note 1648413 for more Details.

The direct update from BW 7.0/SEM 6.0 to BW 7.31/SEM 7.36 is possible (Note 1326576)

An Upgrade to NetWeaver 7.31 (7.3x EhP1 equal with 7.0 EhP3) is possible, when SP02 or

higher is available for 7.31 and the equivalent SP for SEM 7.36.

This Combination is currently in Rampup (November 2011) and will run until End of May 2012

There is also the BPC 10.0 Add-On available with BW 7.30 which is currently in Rampup

(GA expected for November 2011). With NetWeaver Version there is no Windows Server

necessary anymore (web based maintenance). See Notes 1585589 and 1620027 for details.

It is planned with SP06 (CPMBPC 800) to be HANA enabled

Additional Add-On´s like GRC or DMIS will be enabled for the Upgrade to NetWeaver 7.31

Decision about installed Add-On´s
