•
To install parts of an SAP Enhancement Package is called an update.
•
When changing the release from SAP ECC 5.0 and below to an up to date release this is considered as an upgrade.
•
When changing the release from SAP ECC 6.0 and above to an up to date release this is considered as an update.
•
Updates and upgrades are almost the same from a technical point of view. But there are differences in the associated project.

SAP Enhancement Package 3 for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 (SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EHP3) and SAP Enhancement Package 1 for SAP NetWeaver 7.3 (SAP NetWeaver 7.3 EHPl) both contain (besides many more) the software components SAP_ABA 7.31 and SAP_BASIS 7.31.
•
For example the software components SAP_ABA 7.31 and SAP_BASIS 7.31 of an SAP ECC system are considered to be part of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EHP3. the software components SAP_ABA 7.31 and SAP_BASIS 7.31 of an SAP BW system are considered to be part of SAP NetWeaver 7.3 EHPl.
•
There are technical differences between SAP NetWeaver 7.0 EHP3 and SAP NetWeaver 7.3 EHPl based AS ABAP systems - not shown on this slide. For example there are small differences in the default architecture of the enqueue process and message server ore the existence of a start profile.

Selective, component-wise installation: With SAP enhancement packages you can selectively update software components. Matching combinations of software components, as well as Pl/Portal/SW-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_APPL/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 SAP Enhancement Package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0: -1000 Business Functions). However, only SAP ECC, SAP CRM Server, SAP SCM Server and SAP SRM Server are switchable.

Step 1: A selective exchange of one component is possible: With SAP enhancement packages you can selectively update software components. Please note that matching combinations of software components. as well as Pl/Portal/BW-content and Java software components are grouped by Technical Usages.

separate installation of logistics and financials (both are located in the core software component SAP_APPL/EA-APPL) is not possible. •

Switch Framework Enables Optional Activation of Business Functions
With the Switch Framework it is possible to control the activation of SAP ERP objects.
Swic t h Framework
Activating a Business Function triggers switches. The switch controls whether the switch-controlled code is executed or not at runtime. The Switch Framework is a proven concept (already used to retrofit Industry Solutions in ERP 6.0).
Fundament: Enhancement Framework is the solution of SAP NetWeaver 7.0 to allow adaptations of development objects without touching them. All enhancements offered by Enhancement Framework can be switched by the Switch Framework. All reports, includes, classes, function modules, and Web Dynpro ABAP Uls can be changed and enhanced using the Enhancement Framework. The new BAdl is also integrated in the Enhancement Framework.
