What is SAP Upgrade Roadmap?
SAP Upgrade Roadmap is content available from SAP that provides a methodological guideline to assist you in your upgrade ventures. This roadmap is available as part of SAP Solution Manager (Release 3.1 onward). At its core is a generic, easy-to-follow, phase-oriented, step-bystep activity guide for upgrading components to facilitate any upgrade project (see the Roadmap window in Figure 2).
These include analysis of the status and targets for business processes and underlying IT infrastructure before and after the upgrade, upgrade configuration, and testing of upgraded processes. Along the way, accelerators link directly to SAP Solution Manager and other SAP resources to launch supporting functions – tools and services for best practices documents, how-to’s, and project templates, among others, that speed the upgrade process.
