With release 7.0 (the basis of SAP ERP 6.0), SAP undertook a complete revision of the upgrade procedure of NetWeaver AS. Now, it is also possible to upgrade so-called "double-stack" installations; those with both an ABAP and a Java stack under the hood. This comprehensive guide covers all kinds of SAP upgrades. It describes a complete project, explains project management questions, provides technical background information (also on the upgrade of other systems like CRM, SCM, and BI), and then walks you through the project steps - from A to Z.
