We are having webMethods integration server 6.5 with SP3, SAP adapter 6.5 with SP1 which is used to integrate SAP R/3 4.7 EE . Customer want to upgrade SAP from SAP R/3 4.7 EE to ECC 6.0.

Does our current webMethods integration server and webMethods SAP adapter support SAP ECC 6.0 or Do we have to upgrade our current webMethods server to higher version?

We went for 4.6 to ECC 6.0 with no Changes to the adapter and services.

webMethods SAP Adapter 6.5 also supports only the “old” uppercase short passwords. So in your new ECC 6.0 system you need to be careful to not use the new password features for the user defined on SAP Adapter side. Otherwise the SAP Adapter will no longer be able to log into the SAP system…
