All,
I have done ERP 6.0 installs before but none with an EHP, so please guide me here. The client has requested a fresh install of ERP 6.0 with EHP7. They plan to use IS-RETAIL on this system. I Would like to do an install so that my system level is EHP7 right away. So my questions are:
1) In software download section on marketplace, I see EHP7 for ERP 6.0 section, where i can see the installation export files. My understanding is that I would use these to do a fresh install. But when i used these installation exports, it gave me a system which only had MDG_APPL , SAP_APPL and SAP_FIN at the 617 level. Rest of the components were still at 600 level ??? I read at a couple of places that this is normal (this system is just EHP7 ready) and to bring rest of the components at EHP7 level, I would have to do an EHP7 upgrade, correct ?
2) If it is true that I need to upgrade rest of the components to EHP7 manually after the install, then how would i do it. Do i generate a stack.xml file form solution manager and then download the required files and then use SUM or do i download the UPGRADE EXPORT Files under the upgrade section in the marketplace (around 13 of them) ???
3) If I just want to use IS-RETAIL in the system, then should i upgrade just that to EHP7 or is it advised to upgrade all the components to EHP7 like EA_HR, SP_HR, FICA, EA-DIMP, IS-UT, IS-H, etc etc ?
4) Why wouldnt SAP release installation files that would install all the components at EHP7 level right away for you ???
Please help me in understanding some of these.
thank you,
BV
