Content

1 Getting Started

This Upgrade Master Guide provides a central starting point for the technical upgrade of SAP Manufacturing Integration and Intelligence (SAP MII). You can find cross-scenario upgrade information as well as scenario-specific information in this guide.

Use the Upgrade Master Guide for an overview of the upgrade paths, the upgrade of the involved software units and scenarios from a technical perspective. The Upgrade Master Guide is a planning tool that helps you to decide what software units you have to upgrade, taking into account the dependencies between the software units. It refers you to the required detailed documentation, mainly the following:

● Upgrade guides for single software units● SAP Notes● Configuration documentation● SAP Library documentation

For a general overview of available SAP documentation, see The Main SAP Documentation Types.

Constraints

The business scenarios that are presented here serve as an example of how you can use SAP software in your company. The business scenarios are only intended as a model and do not necessarily run the way it is described here in your customer-specific system landscape. Check your requirements and systems to determine whether the scenarios can be used productively at your site. Furthermore, we recommend that you test the scenarios thoroughly in your test systems to ensure they are complete and free of errors before going live.

This Upgrade Master Guide primarily discusses the overall technical upgrade of SAP MII, rather than its subordinate components. This means that additional software dependencies may exist without being mentioned explicitly in this document. You can find more information about component-specific software dependencies in the corresponding upgrade guides.

Naming Conventions

In this document, apply the following:

SAP MII Upgrade Overview

current release to SAP NetWeaver 7.5. Changing means upgrading or updating. The following approaches for system landscapes for SAP NetWeaver 7.5 are possible:

● Upgrading to SAP NetWeaver 7.5 works for hub systems.● Embedded deployment continues to work only for SAP NetWeaver 7.0x releases and their enhancement

packages (this means, for example, for SAP NetWeaver 7.00, SAP NetWeaver 7.01, and SAP NetWeaver 7.02).

For more information about the technical background, see SAP Note 1468349 . There you can find a list of all the Java hubs that you can install on SAP NetWeaver 7.5.

Installation Options with SAP NetWeaver 7.5 (for Java Hubs)

NoteIf you want to install Business Suite Java applications, we strongly recommend that you use SAP NetWeaver 7.5 as the platform for your hub systems.

CautionWe strongly recommend that you use a minimal system landscape for test and demo purposes only. For performance, scalability, high availability, and security reasons, do not use a minimal system landscape as your production landscape.
