Hi folks - we have a system called "GRP" that is running NW702 that is an ABAP-only stack w/ components as follows:
COMPONENT RELEASE EXTRELEASE
GRCFND_A V1000 0010
GRCPINW V1000_700 0010
PI_BASIS 702 0009
SAP_ABA 702 0009
SAP_BASIS 702 0009
SAP_BW 702 0009
ST-A/PI 01Q_700 0000
ST-PI 2008_1_700 0007
We also have a central XI/PI box called "XIP" that is NW740-based dual stack install.
For a certain project we need a system w/ PI Content SLL-NFE 10.0 addon installed - and a prereq for this is having a PI installation (ref. note 1783317) that is PI 7.0 EHP2 or greater. The XIP support team does not want to allow us to install the PI Content SLL-NFE 10.0 addon because they say it is based on older technology (ccBPM). They are reluctant to put anything in place on this central PI box that relies on this older ccBPM technology, in fear that it would impede them to upgrade the PI box down the road to newer versions/etc (potentially to those that need only a JAVA stack)
QUESTIONS
1) So since we can't use XIP for PI Content SLL-NFE 10.0 addon, we want to instead install it on the GRP box. But before we could do that, we'd have to get GRP upraded to be a PI system 1st. And I'm unclear how to go about that. I suspect @ easiest, we would just install some sort of XI/PI Business Content on GRP. But really not sure. Appreciate any guidance anyone can offer.
2) Is the guidance our XIP support team gave valid? Would putting that add-on on that box really impede our ability to upgrade that to newer version (potentially that need only a JAVA stack)?
Thanks
