I recently upgraded 2 Solution Manager 4.0 systems to EHP1 and here is the steps I followed:
1.Update Java stack to SPS17 (including IGS) via JSPM.This step is a prereq. Time = 5-7 hours.
2.Update Java stack to EHP1 (including IGS) via JSPM. Time = 3-4 hours
3. Update SPAM/SAINT patch level to 33.
4. Update Kernel to 7.01 patch level 23.
5.Install EHP1 via SAINT on ABAP stack.Time = 9-15 hours
Notes :
- You need BI_CONT 7.03 installed in the ABAP stack before you can upgrade to EHP1.
- Make sure the Java Heap parameters is set correctly before running JSPM
- You have ample free disk space in the disk drive that SDM in running in, as it creates files temporariliy when compiling in JSPM.
- Make sure all the plugins in the system is upgraded to it's latest level before installing EHP1.
Below a screenshot of what SAINT looks like before your start EHP1 install :
