Hello,
We are upgrading our ERP system from ERP 6.0 to SAP ERP 6.0 EHP 7 SP5.
Our Operating system is AIX 7.1 and Database is DB2 9.7 FP 5.
We have generated stack file via MOPZ by selecting Enhancement Package option with target release of EHP7 for SAP ERP 6.0 SP5.
The reason for selecting EHP7 for SAP ERP 6.0 SP5
We learnt from OSS note 1737650 that Enhancement Package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 SP Stack 05 is based on SAP NetWeaver 7.40 Support Package Stack 07 (06/2014).
Also according to PAM for NW 7.4 (page 3), for any upgrade to NW 7.4 SP 08 and above i.e. Enhancement Package 7 for SAP ERP 6.0 SP Stack 06 and above would require DB2 version 10.5.
By considering above we choose SAP ERP 6.0 EHP 7 SP5 as our target release as it would not arise the need to upgrade our Database to DB2 10.5 and we can continue with our current DB2 version i.e. DB 9.7.
The Issue
Today when we started the upgrade from SUM tool, the upgrade process had stopped during Extraction roadmap phase with the below reason.
"ERROR: DB version 09.07.0005 out of range (too low) Upgrade the database system at least to version 10.05.0000"
The Question
1. Can someone shed some light why the upgrade process still demanding to upgrade DB2 to 10.5 despite the facts provided in OSS note 1737650 and PAM for NW 7.4 doesn't say that the DB2 version ahs to be 10.5.
2. Also is there any way by which we can skip this error and continue with our Upgrade.
Regards,
Jayesh
