Installation

  • Install your SAP system using
    • Update: The 70SWPM SAR archive
    • Update: The 70SWPM Kernel DVD
    • The DVDs that were originally shipped with the Business Suite 2005 Support Release 3 (Export DVD, Java DVD, language DVDs…)
  • After the Installation upgrade your kernel to the latest 7.20 EXT DCK
  • ABAP/ABAP+JAVA: Connect your new SAP System to your SAP Solution Manager
  • ABAP/ABAP+JAVA: Create a maintenance stack to implement the required support packages
    • SAP CRM 5.0 SPS 20 or higher
    • SAP ERP 6.0 SPS 21 or higher
    • SAP SRM 5.0 SPS 20 or higher
    • SAP NetWeaver 7.0 SPS 26 or higher
  • ABAP/ABAP+JAVA: Use the Software Update Manager (SUM) 1.0 SP4 or higher to implement the maintenance stack
    • DO NOT use SPAM to implement the support packages
    • DO NOT update SPAM manually but let the SUM update the SPAM as part of the maintenance stack implementation

Post Steps

System Copy

You can also copy your SAP System that is running on an older SQL Server to a machine running a new SQL Server with the following steps:

  • Make sure that your source system is at least on SAP BASIS SP 26
  • Copy your SAP system using
    • Update: The 70SWPM SAR archive
    • Update: The 70SWPM Kernel DVD
    • The DVDs that were originally shipped with the Business Suite 2005 Support Release 3 (Export DVD, Java DVD, language DVDs…)
  • Upgrade your kernel to the latest 7.20 EXT DCK

The steps for a System Copy where the source SAP system is already running on SQL 2012 are the same.

    You said: Begin paste: •Kernel DVD ◦Update: Please use the Kernel DVD that is shipped with 70SWPM. This Kernel DVD already contains a 7.20/7.20 EXT kernel. End Paste I tried to do a system copy and pointed it to the swpm extracted directory with a label.asc.  I got this error: (unable to fins label.asc.  Look for label sap akk:72Kernel*.windows_X86_64.)   The label.asc at the root of the swpm directory reads: ND:SLTOOLSET:1.0:SWPM::WINDOWS_X86_64:* Do I just rename the label.asc?
