Transport of Activations & Customizing General Recommendation Prerequisites  Same ERP release with same EHP and SP-Stack installed  Same technical usages installed  number and release of all software components installed in one system are the same

Benefits  Switch settings and respective customizing can be transported across the landscape  (Adjustments after) SAP corrections can be transported  Customer enhancements can be transported

Drawbacks  Projects for activation of new business functions have to be synchronized / aligned

Drawbacks  Switch settings cannot be transported from DEV system, they need to be switched in QAS  Special care required for transporting customer enhancements/developments (separation of developments) System needs to be set to „changeable“

Selective, component-wise installation: With SAP EHPs you can selectively update software components. Matching combinations of software components, as well as PI/EP/BI-content and Java software components are grouped by Technical Usages. As the number of software components are limited, e.g. a separated installation of logistics and financials (both are located in the core software component SAP/EA_APPL) is not possible. Strict separation of technical installation and the implementation of the new functionality: Explicit activation separately for each Business Function (with EHP5: ~500 Business Functions). However only Backend functionality (ABAP) is switchable. 39

Installing SAP Enhancement Packages Things You Should Know Before EHP Facts  Only one EHP Level per system One application system can only consist of one EHP level (e.g. EHP4 or EHP5). Hence installed EHP components have to be updated with every future EHP implementation.  Industry solutions Customers who have activated an industry business function set have to include the corresponding EHP industry software component during installation.  EHP installation and functional activation is partially non-reversible

© 2012 SAP AG. All rights reserved.

Technical Delivery  EHPs are “cumulative” When installing the latest EHP you will automatically get all functionality delivered with previous Enhancement Packs.  Delta Shipment Technically the EHP installation delivers only changed objects to your system:  In case you have installed EHP5 you will only install the new objects of EHP 6.  In case you have installed EHP 4 you will install EHP 5 and EHP 6 objects in one step

 SAP NetWeaver 7.0 enhancement package The application update brings a new enhancement package for SAP NetWeaver 7.0

Project Perspective  Modification adjustment After installing Enhancement Packages modifications must be adjusted – even if no business function has been activated.  Regression test required The installation of an SAP Enhancement Package requires a full regression test – even if no business function has been activated.  Effort estimation Most customers say that the installation effort is a bit higher with EHP‟s (without activating business functions) compared to pure Support Package updates. 40
