Hello All,
For a non-unicode system with ERP 6.0 EHP4 on NW 7.01 SP5 we are currently investigating different approaches to migrate/upgrade to ERP 6.0 EHP 7 / NW 7.40 on HANA.
From a basis perspective it would be preferred to first do the upgrade and then the unicode conversion/migration to HANA. But this means two projects with separate down-times, which is hard to arrange for this environment. Next to that 70% of the project costs are spent on testing/problem solving, which would then also needed to be done twice.
Therefore it will save a lot of costs if we can do this as described in note 928729 - Combined Upgrade & Unicode Conversion (CU&UC)

Does any of you experts have experience in a combined Unicode + Upgrade project?
Any info about feasibility, run-times, project length etc would be greatly appreciated
