Request technical expert advise to upgrade SAP components as EWA report

[SAPSupport]

Hi,

we have plan to upgrade as following in our S4Hana DIGITS sp 00 environment.

1) ARBCI1  10S         ARBCI1 100: Add-On Installation      Target to patch 20
2) SAP_BW   755    APK-75501INSAPBW        SAP Business Warehouse                 Target --> 06   (current 1)
3) SAP_BASIS   755     SAPK-75501INSAPBASIS             SAP Basis Component          Target --> 5     (current 1)
4) SAP_GWFND       755        SAPK-75501INSAPGWFND             SAP Gateway Foundation Target --> 5

I would like to request technical expert advise as whether this update will enough or do other components need to update for system performance?

** History, we have tried to upgrade S4Core DIGITS sp0 -> sp06, as we failed.

Best regards, 
Kelvin Lin

When planning update/upgrade of certain software components/add-ons, you must fulfill the import conditions (of every component) that may require including certain versions of dependent components too.

You have two approaches to plan an upgrade:

1. Update via SUM. Maintenance planner will automatically include the dependencies during planning.

See 2523640 - Planning Minimum Software Changes in Maintenance Planner

2. Update via SPAM. In this case, pre-conditions (import conditions of a package) needs to be checked manually and shall be included in the update/upgrade.

For checking the import conditions, see 2053132 - How to find the import conditions of a Support package or ADD-ON
