Whats new in 7.3? Whats new in CE 7.1 or CE 7.2? What is the difference between CE 7.1 & CE 7.2?

Should I go with EhP1 for 7.0 or EhP2.0 or directly upgrade to Netweaver Portal 7.3? These are the

frequently asked questions whenever a newer version of SAP Portal is released. SAP released

Enhancement Pack1 & 2 for NW portal 7.0. We also have Composite Environment 7.1 & 7.2. And

finally, we have a full version release of 7.3. When options are too many, it is quiet obviously asked

what to choose over what? And most importantly, Why?

I have already written a few posts to answer this question. However, afterhaving adiscussion with

some senior colleagues & friends, it was observed that SAP has shipped quiet a few features in

EhP 2, which are also part of 7.3. So first question that anybody can think of Can I continue to use

existing 7.0 infrastructure and yet have some features those are shipped in the latest version

(http://www.ameyablog.com/netweaver/quick-update-nw-7-3-general-availability-firefox-4-0-

support/) i.e. 7.3. Answer is Yes!

You might like to have a look at some of the existing posts:

I have tabulated a comparison between features available in 7.3 andwhat areavailable in EhP 2.

Using this comparison, you will able to define clear distinction between these two products and

decide if you want to upgrade only Enhancement pack or to go with 7.3. Lets have a look.

Hi Ameya,

Really interesting information, thank you for keeping this blog.

Im doing some research on Netweaver releases and their differences. Also for the CE platform

and its SPs.

Do you know if theres a document on SAP Library that would have this compilation in one chart or

something similar? Sometimes you get lost across different versions, ehps and sps.

Thanks!

Pablo

Hi Pablo,

Thank you for appreciating!

Sadly, I am yet to come across any SAP document having a comparison of all versions & SP level

features. This was the motive behind writing this post so that we can at least have some idea

about features & their availability w.r.t versions.

Id be glad if you could also share some of your findings. It will be of great help to for everyone.

Have a good day!

Ameya

Hi,

Thanks for your blog!! Have a doubt in Netweaver 7.3

We had migrated from Netweaver 7.0 to Netweaver 7.3. Our problem here is we have changes our

themes in 7.3. we like to know how do we transport the same themes across system in Netweaver

7.3 environment.

Thanks and Regards,

Saravanan

Hi Saravanan,

Unfortunately I am yet to try hands-on on 7.3 and therefore I cannot answer your doubt. However,

from what I know, theme transport hasnt changed much from what it was earlier. You can still

integrate your 7.0 themes with 7.3. And if you are not sure if they will work or not, then try to run

theme integrity test it will cretainly give you a way out.

Thanks for commenting,

Ameya
