Improved Software Lifecycle

Installation of new functionality separated from activation via Switch Framework
Content of enhancement packages Each SAP enhancement package contains several business functions.
Optional
Each business function can be optionally implemented and activated. Optional Installation
Enhancement Packages
You install the business functions that are applicable to your business. If installed: - No UI or process change until a business function is activated - No implications on the underlying NetWeaver platform, in addition enhancement packages contain most current Support Package Stack Optional Activation You activate the business functions you need.
Support Packages
If activated: - End-user training is limited to the activated business function(s) - Testing is simplified with templates, provided for every business function

Switches - Switch can be activated by different business functions. - One switch can activate more than one object.
Activated Objects - Enhancements - BC-Sets, IMG nodes - Screen elements - Menu entries
Switch Framework Enables Optional Activation of Business Functions

Every Change is hidden behind a switch
With the Switch Framework it is now possible to control the activation of SAP ERP objects Individual business functions are activated via the Switch Framework.
Switch Framework

(ECC 6.0)
With SAP enhancement package 2 there are ~50 optional business functions and 23 enterprise service bundles. The Switch Framework is a proven concept (Already used to retrofit Industry Solutions in ERP 6.0)

Step 2 : Evaluate and Decide

Activities Get to know further technical details Single point of access to all information related to a business function Documentation Releasenotes Dependencies

Test catalogue Benefits Early transparency of potential side effects that a new implementation can have
Service Marketplace is the single point of access to all information that is related to each Business Function, such as documentation, releasenotes, dependencies and test case templates.
Step 3 : Install What You Need

The principles and methods to install SAP enhancement packages for SAP ERP differ significantly from prior releases! SAP enhancement packages for SAP ERP are shipped as a delta shipment to SAP ERP 6.0
Only some software components are updated Only changed objects are updated
How to identify installable subset?
Installation Prerequisites:
SAP ERP 6.0 already installed Required SP stack level => see SAP Note 1052522 Refer to Master Guide of SAP enhancement package (focus on chapter 3!)
Prepare & Install: Overview New Installation Procedure

Original SAP ERP 6.0 system
EA_HR EA_APPL EA_Retail 600 600 600
1. Choose business functions, e.g.: 'Retail Buying' 'Retail Planning'
SAP_HR 600
SAP_APPL 600 Basis 700
SAP Note 1052470 (mapping of business functions to technical usages)
2. Map business functions to Technical Usage, e.g. 'Retail'
EA_Retail 602 SAP_APPL 602 Basis 700 SP12

Installable subset of software component versions = 'Technical Usage'
3. Automated download of required installation files with Solution Manager Maintenance Optimizer
Queue of installable packages
4. Install packages using SAINT transaction
Map Business Function to Technical Usage

using OSS Note number 1052470
View this note in Service Marketplace / have a look at the attachment. Please use the latest version! This screenshot has been taken on August 23rd, 2007
Solution Manager Maintenance Optimizer (1)
Technical usage: predefined, installable subsets of an SAP enhancement package for SAP ERP SAP Note 1052470 maps a technical usage to a given business function You enter the technical usage => SAP Solution Manager Maintenance Optimizer automatically calculates the relevant download files
* This is an example of installed software components in SAP ECC. For Java components and BI-, PI- and Enterprise Portal content, a different installation procedure would be used.
Solution Manager Maintenance Optimizer (2)

Download files contain:
1.
support packages for SAP ERP components as a solid basis for SAP enhancement package for SAP ERP components and their support packages for the selected technical usage(s)
2.
3.
Result: consistent target configuration considering

Planned scope of implementation Current status of system release Keeping the same basis release
SAINT Transaction
Activities Install the loaded upgrade packages that you find in the inbox of the transaction SAINT All software components can be installed in one step Result: Only the relevant software components are upgraded SPAU comparison for upgraded software components (if system contains any modifications) No additional regression test necessary besides the usual support stack regression test Benefits Stability of large system parts Reduced effort for SPAU comparison and regression test Faster implementation because no upgrade customizing is needed
Example
Example: Customer wants to install Business Function: HCM, Administrative Services He implements the technical usage 'HCM Administrative Services'
Customer System Landscape (As-Is) SAP ECC 6.0

Step 5 : Test & Go Live

Activities Acceptance test for selected business functions Use standard test case templates Train end-users Go live, transport switch activities to production system Benefits Faster test preparation due to test case templates Smaller test scope because changes in objects are documented for each business function Smaller training effort due to limited and documented effect on user interfaces Shorter downtime than in full releaseupgrade

Technology Aspects
Summary & Benefits

Further Information
Benefits of SAP enhancement packages versus Releaseupgrades

Reduced Installation, Implementation, and Training Effort
Lean Installation No upgrade of hardware and SAP NetWeaver Selective component-wise installation No migrations of data / customizing No table conversions / XPRAs Only changed and new objects delivered (delta shipment) No upgrade customizing All innovations are hidden behind switches Benefits Lower hardware cost Lower manual effort Lower risk through unchanged system behavior Faster installation Less effort for modification adjustment Benefits Time of adoption is driven by business Adaption of innovations in digestible portions
No disruption of the running business. Flexibility to satisfy innovation needs from different business areas in a decoupled way.
Optional Activation FACTS Explicit activation separately for each business function Schedule for activation independent from schedule of IT activities Well-documented test scope for each Business Function UI changes only occur in activated parts No further modification clearing after activation FACTS
Easier Integration and Acceptance Testing Less end-user training
Summary
You are now able to answer the following questions:
Why does SAP go for a new delivery mechanism? What is the customer benefit behind enhancement packages? What is new about the installation and implementation? When should a customer consider to install an enhancement package or parts of it? Where can you find further information about the release strategy of SAP ERP and the business functions included in an enhancement package?
