Installation

  • Install your SAP system using
    • The SAP Software Provisioning Manager (SWPM)
    • The local Kernel DVD with the patched kernel archives
    • The DVDs that were originally shipped with the SAP NetWeaver 7.30 release (Export DVD, Java DVD, language DVDs…)
  • After the Installation upgrade your kernel to the latest 7.20 EXT Kernel
  • ABAP/ABAP+JAVA: Connect your new SAP System to your SAP Solution Manager
  • ABAP/ABAP+JAVA: Create a maintenance stack to implement at least SAP_BASIS 7.30 SP7
  • 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 SP7
  • Copy your SAP system using
    • The SAP Software Provisioning Manager
    • The local Kernel DVD with the patched kernel archives
    • The DVDs that were originally shipped with SAP NetWeaver 7.30 (Export DVD, Java DVD, language DVDs…)
  • Upgrade your kernel to the latest 7.20 EXT

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