EHP6 upgrade with sum tool

Dear all
we are moving to ECC6 ehp4 to EHP6 we don't have suffcient hardware for shadow system so we go directly it takes lot of time in all phases
we made test system sucessfully npw we need to do samething in PRD server we have db and app in that we are not able keep PRD down for many days
we have 32 gb ram on PRD
can we  export database of  PRD and import in some other system  and make that system as PRD for stanby server for some days we can work on dbci and we can keep app server down once update done with EHP6 then again restore this database to original server
Thus will effect the business
kindly suggest some points so we can go further
Regards

Hi Rajendra
Kindly follow the steps & could you share your OS / DB size details
1. System copy from live Production to test system copy, in test system you are going to start the upgrade.
2. Do the upgrade ECC EHP 4 to 6 in test system, during this process you have to calculate over all timings of upgrade process of SUM and all other issues.
3 After upgraded to ECC6 EHP6 in the test system, do the full function level test with help of ABAPer /Function consultant.
4. Based on the test environment result, you have to perform the same upgrade process in live production system with minimum down time, during this process users must be locked and all other background jobs are suspended.

  • EHP6 upgrade with PI in the landscape

    Hi All,
    I realize all documentation say that you must always keep your PI boxes at the highest levels in your landscape.
    I know oss note 1043047 and 954820 speak to this.
    I'm just became part of a project that over looked this. We are planning a EHP6 upgrade.
    This will bring in NW 731 stack right?
    Our PI is old at NW 7.11
    The SLD on the PI's are to the latest versions.
    The project to migrate to PO is coming after ehp6.
    Again this was all planned before I came on board.
    Any thoughts of what to expect? I still believe it should work fine until we get to the upgrade.
    If not, can anyone explain technically why not?

    You should under all circumstances perform a test upgrade, on a sandbox system first.
    The theory of the upgrade is one thing, the problems of doing it for real are a quiet different matter.
    You can see the changes (including what new kernel version will be installed), when reviewing the stack calculation report as done by MOPz (SolMan Maintenance Optimizer).
    It will tell you exactly what software component gets replaced with what other version.
    Also consider the impact on development, and if you have a multi-system landscape, you gotta plane in which sequence to upgrade what server.
    Last not least, consider performance impact and downtime.
    I have seen PI systems so (over)utilized that they literally "cooked the hardware" they were running on.
    Putting the added strain of performing an upgrade on such a system, might be the straw that breaks the camel's back.
    That is why sandbox testing is so essential here.

  • Upgrades with Oracle Tools are really Amazing

    I always hate upgrade with JDev!!!
    Oracle's Webbeans are not fine enough to be used in professional applications so Developers have to custom Oracle WebBeans.
    But when a new release of JDev come out, we have to use it because it fix some bugs but then we are up with some others bugs and wait for the next release.
    Oracle will give us jobs for years. Thank you Larry!!!!!
    For example with the old method populateform, I could add a field to a form and set a cssclass to it, now it seems to be impossible.
    I tried the following code and it doesn't run
    HTMLFormField hffChamp = new HTMLFormField(new HTMLTextElement(rField.getPromptText()), new HTMLTextElement(sOutput));
    hffChamp.setCSSClassName(rField.getCSSClassName());
    aForm.addFieldElement(hffChamp);
    It seems impossible to set a cssclass to an HTMLFormField.
    See public HTMLTableCell(HTMLElement elem, String sClass), ...
    Tomorrow is another day....

    Few years later, same problems... I guess we are not shouting, but if you please read our posts, we would appreciate just one small thing:
    Please leave any message on the topic that you at least read about the problem we have. Just say something like: "OK I read this but do not know the answer at this time, thank you for your patience". And you do not need to do it for all posts. There are some people there trying to solve problem for months, and are reposting the same thing many times.
    By being ignorant, you are getting nothing. I will not be wrong if I say that now I understand why hi-tech jobs are going overseas. We are to be blamed for 'bad' economy
    We, at Wash U, are considering to go with other tools.

  • How can i reset a Upgrade with sapehpi-tool

    I will reset my upgrade to ERP EHP5 with sapehpi.
    The upgrade is currently in the Preprocessing-phase.
    But when i in the gui menu bar choose EHP_Installation -> Reset Upgrade
    i become following message: "Resetting the EHP-Installation is not possible".
    What can i do ???

    Hi,
    Please refer to upgrade manual::
    1.
    Make sure that the installation GUI displays the Back andNext buttons, which indicates that SAPehpi is not in a dialog phase. If it is in a dialog phase, the GUI displays the Repeat, Init, and Exit buttons. In this case, choose Exit before resetting the enhancement package installation.
    2.
    From the GUI menu bar, choose EHP InstallationReset Installation.
    When you reset the installation, error messages are displayed stating that SDT requests could not be executed. You can ignore these messages.
    3.
    Delete the installation directory
    Ensure you apply note 1518145 before reset to avoid any errors.
    Cheers,

  • SAP ERP EHP6 Upgrade cancel with no SUM Directory

    hi
    At last week on wednesday, we started to upgrade ERP EHP5 to EHP6 case. On Friday evening over 7:00PM we started the preprocessing step.
    When phase MAIN_SHDIMP/SUBMOD_SHD2_RUN/XPRAS_SHD_AIMMERGE step has being processing, system VM disk has got fulled, And system stopped responding. We checked all the sources, and but couldnt get windows started.
    We had to restore system to another host, with Friday evening 08:00PM SQL backup.
    Now this is the case, we have a SUM started database with no SUM directory. System is now usable for end-users but in some txcoedes system seems locked due to system upgrade.
    When we run se38- RSUPGRES program, it has the error below.
    now, how can i cancel the upgrade status without SUM directory?

    Hello
    TP imports are not possible during that upgrade phase what is why you get the 253 and the error message. There is a dirty trick (playing with table UVERS) that allows to override that security and be able to perform import but I won't recommend using it.
    I do not think that RSUPGRES could help without the SUM directory, further more it should not work with SUM (see note 417670).
    I'm afraid the only solution is to recover from a backup taken before the upgrade.
    I'm a bit afraid about your sentence "system is now usable for end-users", I hope that system is not productive.
    Regards

    you should not use the note for SAPehpi

    I am running Yosemite and have just bought Pro Tools Express with the intent to Upgrade to Pro Tools 11. Pro Tools Express is not compatible with Yosemite and will not install. How can I get this done?

    I have had this problem for close to a year. I have an Extreme base station, two Airport Express's and multiple G4 Mac's with up to date software. I have spent a huge amount of time trouble shooting, resetting, reapplying software and finally calling Applecare without any help. It would be great to get this problem solved.

    What problem? Did you believe we know what you are doing?
    What is the platform and operating system?
    What is your starting version (10gR2 is not a version)?
    What is your ending version?
    What alarm sign? Where? What does it say?
    At what point in the process?
    What is in the log file?
    How did you expect us to know this stuff when you didn't post it?

  • I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

    I just downloaded Firefox 6.0. The web page asked if I wanted to upgrade. What is the most recent version of Firefox and why can't I get it denoted in the propperties link? Also why is it not compatible with AVG Tool Bar?

    Firefox 6.0 is the current version.
    Get what denoted in what properties link.
    You can get the version number in Help -> About Firefox,
    and in '''about:support''' typed into the Location bar, and you can use JavaScript to list the user agent -- javascript:navigator.userAgent
    I'm not aware of any version of Firefox from Fx 2 on up to Fx 6 where "AVG Safe" is not a problem. Crashes aren't the only failures caused.

  • EHP7 Upgrade with kernel 740 Sp37

    Hi All,
    We have done successfully upgrade from ERP 6.0 to EHP6 sp09 and Now we have decide to go with EHP7 update fro two scenerios 1. From ERP 6.0 (kernel 700) to ERP6.0 EHP7 (Kernel 740) and 2 ERP 6.0 to EHP6 sp09 (kernel 721_EXT) to ERP6.0 EHP7 (Kernel 740). . here I have Two queries.
    1.  -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    EHP7 for ERP6.0 with SP03
    In that Mopz proposed EHP7 for ERP6.0 SP03 is available only for support pack update only. It suggest the note 1949802 which I am not able to get as MOPZ is still generating valid XML to update ERP6.0 EHP7 sp03
    EHP7 for ERP6.0 with SP02
    It gives the kernel 740 patch SP27, I was reading some SCN discussions of kernel SP27 is having some bugs and gives issue during preprocessing phase and update will have to reset. So I want to use Kernel 740 SP37, so how to achieve this as Mopz is not giving the option to select the latest kernel. I am afraid to modify the stack.xml file.
    2.  --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    One more query is in phase Extraction I got error "the new SAP tools in /usr/sap/MES/SUM/abap/exe cannot connect to your database".
    Which I believe is because of SSFS is not configured in source kernel. So question is how to configure this for Kernel 740 at this stage (after extraction).
    SAP Note 1622837 says if your source kernel is 7.0x then two options --- option b says start with SUM and after error in Extraction Install SSFS with kernel 7.40 that is already unpacked. So how can I configure the SSFS with 740 as source system kernel is still running under 700
    Please help.

    Hi Guys,
    While in downtime phase MAIN_NEWBAS/XPRAS_AIMMRG we are getting below
    error.
    2EETW152 Cannot open file "/usr/sap/MES/SUM/abap/data/R-
    XXX13INCTSPLGN.SAP".
    # /usr/sap/MES/SUM/abap/log/SAPR740XPRA90000145.MES
    I have gone through the "sap note 1978218 - CTSPLUG 200 SP10 Upgrade
    fails"
    and implemented the same report to get sp09 data and cofiles of CTS
    plugin. Both files got generated successfully and are available in
    /usr/sap/MES/SUM/abap/data
    File names are R-20009INCTSPLUG.SAP & D-20009INCTSPLUG.SAP
    And cofiles name is K-20009INCTSPLUG.SAP
    Then I continued with upgrade but it still fails with the same message.
    I dont know why stack xml calculated the sp10 patch for CTS_PLUG while we were already on sp10
    Anybody has idea on this.

  • ECC 5.0 to ECC 6.0 EHP6 upgrade

    Hi All,
    We have planned to upgrade ecc 5.0 to ecc 6.0 ehp6 upgrade.
    Can we upgrade direct ecc6.0 ehp6 using SUM tool ?
    Any one have idea Please let me know.
    Regards,
    Arun.

    Hi Arun,
    You cannot Upgrade directly to ehp6  because your operating system  & database will not support for ehp6 as per PAM.
    your target release ERP EHP6 : OS -win 2008 : Oracle 11 g
    find below steps
    Phase 1
    1. Apply latest patches to win 2003 server.
    2. Apply latest oracle patches to your current release
    3. Upgrade your SAP from ECC5 to EHP5
    Phase 2
    1. Upgrade your OS from WIN 2003 To 2008
    2. Upgrade Oracle from 10 to 11 ( you can upgrade this first phase also)
    3. Upgrade ehp5 to ehp6
    Thanks
