In this blog, I m going to enlist all the important links for upgrading or customizing EHP5, EHP6, EHP7, HR Renewal ,Fiori and others widely discussed topics.
Before this you need to know and decide are you sticking with JAVA WD (No more enhancement for HCM) or moving towards WebDynpro ABAP based ESS/MSS and UI5 Landing pages etc (recommended approach). Since you are doing Technical upgrade, its better to migrate to latest technology as in both cases testing would be involved and you can get much more out of testing when you plan to migrate.
Please note once you plan to move away from JAVA WD to Newer WDA or UI5 based ESS/MSS, its a project in itself ie
For customers not planning to use WDA ESS/MSS then :
When you upgrade your Portal to NW 7.3 or 7.4 and need new BPs and doesnt want to upgrade ECC ie from EHP4 to EHP6/7, Please check below note
SAP NOTE 1874939 - SAP Business Suite for SAP NetWeaver 7.4 hub systems
you will find any dependency using UDA Tool http://service.sap.com/uda
Need to use this new Business packages for new NW version
BP ESS 1.41
BP MSS 1.41
SAP_ESS 633
SAP PCUI_GP 633
SAP_MSS 630
To understand how the EA HR and SAP HR versions vary in each EHPs
SAP versioning, part 2 (why EHP7 contains SAP APPL 6.17)
Now if customers plans to upgrade or install new EHP5/6/7 HCM, They have two deployments options ie without using Portal or use NWBC
Here are the options and benefits listed.
Moving towards ESS WD ABAP from WD JAVA, would indeed be a reimplementation but customer can preserve their configuration in backend but not in portal if they choose to use new Iviews. If they want to run parallel both JAVA WD and ABAP WD Iviews it ll require two set of roles once they activate switches for ESS and MSS as listed in below notes and links.
Please always familiarize with this new technology and switches, any new functionality in enhancement package is typically done through a switch, only once you activate this switch in SFW5, you ll see this option.
All Business Switches are listed here and their Important documentaion ie what and which functionality each switch brings and also the roles.
Each EHP release, brings its set of roles which you need to use :
Important Notes to consider :

1701634 HR renewal 1.0: Release Information Note
1685257 Portal Upload ie Business Package Deployment EHP6 above and beyond for WDA
Note HR Renewal 1.0 is based on EHP6, ie you can install HR add-on on EHP6 to get HR renewal 1.0 ie effectively it ll make EA HR 607 (EHP6= EA HR 606). Read below the notes.
In similar vein, HR Renewal 2.0 is based on EHP7, But you need to install SAP HR 608, EA HR 608 ! for it, Ie if you install EHP8 directly you get HR renewal 2.0 with EA HR 608 etc, So in a nutshell, HR Renewal 2.0 is a pre-shipment of the HCM content of EHP8, therefore by installing HR Renewal the components EA-HR and SAP_HR will be
upgraded to 608,

Fiori and HR Renewal
Fiori apps are designed to work on desktop, tablet and smartphones using the same code and based on SAPUI5.
SAP Fiori does not replace HCM UX renewal, which is an in-depth renovation across all HR processes. SAP Fiori focuses on simplification for the most broadly and frequently used business functions for enterprise users. Fiori includes HR apps, but has a broad scope, including not only employee and manager but also purchasing agent and sales reps. Fiori doesnt require extra licensing costs and is available free with software licenses.
Fiori Apps can be used in conjunction with your HR Renewal footprint or as a standalone if these new released apps meets your requirement
