Hi

Once we where told that SAP will release an EHP version in around once a year? EHP7 was in GA on 2013.08.13, so does anyone know the release plan for EHP8?

I can´t find anything in the PAM.

Hi Jakob,

EHP8 will be delivered by the end of this year.

Please also consider that your system have to be Unicode before you can switch to EHP8 (check note 2033243 - End of non-Unicode Support: Release Details).

Best regards,
Andreas

I created a oss msg for this.

Their reply is.

Currently the plan is to release EHP 8 installation packages by early

Q2, 2016 (April 2016). It may be sooner or later depending on  our testing results.

SAP does not guarantee the availability of installation media on the specified date.

Hi guys,

Noticed that EHP8 is only available for the Upgrade package for now.

Does anyone know when the Installation package will be released?

SAP Note 2171334 only mentions it 'will be provided later':

Anyone in SAP who has any insights on this?

It will be good planning information for customers who are starting their implementation project; whether to go ahead with the older EHP7 or to wait for EHP8.

Thank you.
