Good afternoon
We have our annual patching cycle about to commence and we where hoping to upgrade to ERP 6.0 EHP7 SP6 and also upgrade our SRM 7.0 system to EHP3 SP6 and our CRM 7.0 system to EHP3 SP6 as well. This was released to customer last week, however when I try to generate the xml file via the maintenance optimizer the following message is displayed:-
SP Stack 06 (10/2014) # SP Update only, see note 2081050
On checking this note it is telling us we cannot upgrade our systems to SP6 but we would have to do a two step process at the moment ie upgrade to SP5 and then patch the systems to SP6 in a second step. This would extend the amount of time the patching would take and increase the downtime of the systems and so is not an easy choice.
The OSS note however says :-
If you would like to run the EHP installation to Suite7i2013 SP06 directly, please wait for the release of the same shortly after RTC of SP06.
Does anyone know how long this shortly is likely to be, as we cannot plan or decide what to do with a vague statemnet such as shortly.
Thanks for your help
Bill
