Install Winshuttle add-on v11 on ECC5

1. Prerequisites for installation

This document is only for the installation of the Winshuttle Function Module (WFM) add-on v11.

This document is for new customers who are installing the v11 function module server-side functionality for both Transaction and Query products.

Important:
Ensure that any old Transaction FM version 10.5 or lower is removed. Refer to Delete the function module for previous versions of Transaction.

Ensure that the system does not have any prior server-side version of Query (the WINSHTLQ component). If WINSHTLQ exists, follow the steps in Upgrade WFM on ECC5.

  1. Ensure that you import the current SPAM/SAINT update (version 2.0 or later for SAP NetWeaver 2004s).

    To confirm the version, compare the short text of the last imported SPAM/SAINT update (SAPKD*) with the short text of the SPAM/SAINT update in the SAP Service Marketplace. If the SAP Service Marketplace contains a more current version, import the new SPAM/SAINT update. For more information, see Note 19466.

  2. Use the current R3trans and tp for the installation:
    • R3trans version 6.13 (release 640 - 26.2.07) or later on SAP NetWeaver 2004s
    • tp version 340.16.31 (release 640) or later
