SAP NetWeaver

NetWeaver release notes cover the classic application-server platform underpinning many SAP products (ECC, BW, PI/PO). They cover platform features, support packages and compatibility.

Quick answer

For NetWeaver-based products, read the platform release/support-package notes alongside the application’s.

Key takeaways
  • ABAP/Java platform features and enhancements.
  • Support Package Stacks with fixes and legal changes.
  • Compatibility (database, OS, Java) requirements.
  • Watch out: the kernel and the support package stack move independently and each has prerequisites.

What changes here

  • ABAP/Java platform features and enhancements.
  • Support Package Stacks with fixes and legal changes.
  • Compatibility (database, OS, Java) requirements.
  • Relevance to products built on NetWeaver (ECC, BW, PI/PO).

How to use them

For NetWeaver-based products, read the platform release/support-package notes alongside the application’s. Although S/4HANA uses an evolved foundation, the NetWeaver ABAP heritage persists, so its notes remain relevant to many existing systems.

Common pitfalls

  • Upgrading without reading the notes.
  • Ignoring deprecations.
  • Missing compatibility requirements.
