5 Upgrade and POS Transaction Data Migration
5.1 Upgrading your SAP NetWeaver BI Content Version

Therefore, if you are upgrading to any of the BI Content versions listed below, you must also upgrade to SAP POS DM 1.0 SP02.

5.1.2 Quick Guide for Upgrade to SAP POS DM 1.0 Installed on SAP NetWeaver BW Powered by SAP HANA
This section provides information if you are planning to use SAP POS DM 1.0 installed on SAP NetWeaver BW powered by SAP HANA. As explained more in the Appendix of this guide, when SAP POS DM 1.0 is installed on SAP NetWeaver BW powered by SAP HANA, the data model for storing POS Transaction in the HANA database is different from that used on the traditional database (RDBMS). Therefore, several additional steps, such as POS transaction data migration and database table partitioning must be executed after the upgrade.
