Summary :
This SAP Note provides guidance for resolving SQL Server-specific issues encountered during enhancement package installations on SAP NetWeaver 7.0 systems. Key mentions include the transition from using SAPehpi to the Software Update Manager (SUM) for most scenarios except those listed in SAP Note 1302772, which are still handled by SAPehpi. Detailed corrections and preparatory steps are outlined to address mismatches and potential errors during the upgrade phases. The note emphasizes continuous updates and the initial conditions like not having specific environment variables set, ensuring system compatibility with newer SQL Server versions, and required adjustments for successful installations. This note is essential for technicians managing SAP system updates specifically involving SQL Servers to ensure smooth and error-free enhancement package installations.
