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 its 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 mandatory. 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 fulfilled prior to the creation of the stack.xml.

Sufficient privileges 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 Targets
