EHP4 or EHP5).0 enhancement package The application update brings a new enhancement package for SAP NetWeaver 7.0 Project Perspective  Modification adjustment After installing Enhancement Packages modifications must be adjusted – even if no business function has been activated.  EHP installation and functional activation is partially non-reversible © 2012 SAP AG. Technical Delivery  EHPs are “cumulative” When installing the latest EHP you will automatically get all functionality delivered with previous Enhancement Packs.  Effort estimation Most customers say that the installation effort is a bit higher with EHP‟s (without activating business functions) compared to pure Support Package updates. Hence installed EHP components have to be updated with every future EHP implementation.  Regression test required The installation of an SAP Enhancement Package requires a full regression test – even if no business function has been activated.  In case you have installed EHP 4 you will install EHP 5 and EHP 6 objects in one step  SAP NetWeaver 7.g.  Delta Shipment Technically the EHP installation delivers only changed objects to your system:  In case you have installed EHP5 you will only install the new objects of EHP 6.
