Upgrade: Pros and Cons

Upgrade Pros 

Less effort because no redirection of the business scenarios are required



No adjustment of the Sending/Receiving systems  Existing basis customization can be reused after upgrade

Cons 

High risk (no fallback XI/PI solution available, only restore possible)



Higher downtime compared to new installation and phase-out  Existing limitations for upgrade –

SAP Note 1407530: Release restrictions for SAP NetWeaver 7.3 - Process Integration

–

SAP Note 1403832: Central Note: Upgrade Systems on SAP NetWeaver 7.3

© SAP 2008 Page 32

New Install: Pros and Cons

New Installation and Phase-out Pros 

Low risk



Phased approach for interface implementation  Lower downtime compared to upgrade

Cons 

More effort because XI/PI scenarios have to be transported to the SAP PI 7.3 system and communication channels have to be changed manually  Existing basis has to be incorporated in the new SAP PI 7.3 system  Additional hardware is required

Major Decision Factors

Upgrade

Decision Factors

Options

Is XI/PI the only usage type installed?

New Installation & Phaseout

Yes

Is your current OS version and/or DB version supported? (Check PAM for PI 7.3)

What is the maximum allowed downtime of your productive PI system (in hours)?

Yes

No

No

> 12h

< 12h

As soon as you answer one of the major questions with No or with less than 12 hours downtime, you should go with a new installation of SAP NetWeaver PI 7.3
