Re: question about HANA upgrade steps

Hi Angélique,

As you said that the plan to migrate to SAP HANA is somewhere later, you can follow the approach:

1. upgrade to ECC 6.0 EHP 7

2. upgrade to NW 7.4

You can upgrade to ECC6.0 till EHP6, which will also bring Netweaver version to 7.4 (given that your environment is supported) on your existing system environment. Later on when you plan to migrate to SAP HANA, it will be conventional "System Copy (Heterogeneous) " approach.

Following the above approach you can eliminate one additional step of another upgrade ( in case you go to ECC6.0 with EHP6 and want to switch to NW 7.4 then again you need an upgrade and then in case you want to move to HANA, one migration), however there is tool available with SUM for combined upgrade and migration to SAP HANA, known as DMO (Database Migration Option).

Best regards,
