Focus: Activation

FactsSelective, component-wise installation: With SAP EHPs you canselectively update software components. Matching combinations ofsoftware components, as well as PI/EP/BI-content and Java softwarecomponents are grouped by Technical Usages.

As the number of software components are limited, e.g. a separatedinstallation of logistics and financials (both are located in the coresoftware component SAP/EA_APPL) is not possible.

Strict separation of technical installation and the implementation ofthe new functionality: Explicit activation separately for each BusinessFunction (with EHP5: ~500 Business Functions).However only Backend functionality (ABAP) is switchable.

One application system can

only consist of one EHP level

(e.g. EHP4 or EHP5). Hence

installed EHP components haveto be updated with every future

EHP implementation.

Industry solutions

Customers who have activated

an industry business function

set have to include the

corresponding EHP industrysoftware component during

installation.

EHP installation and

functional activation is

partially non-reversible

EHP Facts

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 4you 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

Technical Delivery

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.
