Solution Manager 7. Before we begin, you need to download the necessary media files as below. SAP Solution Manager 7. SAP Solution Manager. So, our aim is to upgrade the Solution Manager 7. Launch the Software Update Manager and enter the username and password. Click OK. The Welcome screen of Software Update Manager.
Click Next. Select Stack configuration file XML and locate the stack file directory. Open the SAP Note provided from the installation screen, find the keyword and paste it to this screen.
The next screen will be the roadmap steps. The roadmap is consists of multiple phases which are Initialization , Extraction , Configuration , Checks , Preprocessing , Execution , Postprocessing and Finalization. Once the step is completed, click Next to start the Extraction roadmap step. Santosh Kumar Shakya. Very easy to under stand. Regards, Anuj Kumar. Tania Nascimento Ruiz. All the best! Link Text.

SUM reads the profiles and checks the state of the running instances. SUM tests if new tools can connect to the database. SUM checks the database state and asks database dependent questions. SUM checks the stack xml file and decides about the main program mode.
SUM reads profiles and initializes knowledge about the system. SUM will gather information about the instances of the system. SUM reads the profiles and prompts for required passwords. SUM scans the download directory and extracts the packages. SUM checks if the source and target system is valid for update. SUM calculates the queue for selected add-ons. Language handling during the Upgrade. SUM retrieves information regarding the tables in the database.
SUM checks database-specific settings. SUM Performs operating system-specific actions. SUM tests whether background server can access the upgrade directory. This phase checks consistency of generated repository. In this phase SUM retrieves information regarding the tables in the database. SUM will check the switch tables for existing triggers. SUM executes checks and asks all the questions necessary for entering the downtime. SUM starts the distributor on the shadow instance in parallel jobs.
SUM will check before downtime the switch tables for existing triggers. SUM Creates grants on shadow tables.
Several phases may run during uptime, such as activation and distribution. As a consequence of the modification adjustment, activation, and distribution during uptime, the new table layout is already known in an early stage of the upgrade.
This increases the number of tables in which data can be loaded in the shadow import. Then a distribution program calculates how to achieve the transition from an object in the source to the target release. This phase can take up to several hours. Because both DDIC modification and activation run during uptime, downtime is no longer dependent on the number of support packages or add-ons included in the upgrade.
During the downtime phases, the switch is made to the new system and any remaining data is imported. Any parts of the source release system that are no longer needed are deleted. The system switch upgrade has the following consequences on the methodology of the technical upgrade:. Operating the shadow instance in parallel with the production instance increases demands on system resources.
The shadow instance can be installed on a separate server if the available system resources for the productive instance are too limited. The installation module in SUM is used to install the shadow instance. The module first creates profiles, directories, and an extra database user, then copies programs and files needed by the shadow instance. All tables needed for the shadow system are imported into the database. Additional table contents are copied into the shadow system to enable adjustment, activation, and distribution functions in the shadow system.
The shadow system is used to perform the modification adjustment of the ABAP Dictionary objects and to activate and distribute the requests included in the upgrade.
After the modification adjustment, there is a consistent inactive repository with the descriptions of the table structures of the target release, including support packages and add-ons. The total runtime of the upgrade increases with the number of support packages integrated into it, especially the import phase into the shadow tables and the activation phase, which expand enormously.
Fortunately, these run in the shadow instance while the system is still being used productively. SUM can be configured to adapt its behavior and to reduce downtime. To make it easier, SAP has grouped parameter settings into the following preconfiguration modes:. The single system preconfiguration mode has the following features and characteristics:.
Note: As of SUM 2. It can no longer be used for release upgrades and system conversions. The standard mode is applicable to most scenarios, as follows:. Because these processes occur during production operation, downtime is reduced considerably, and some phases of downtime are much shorter.
Downtime is independent of the number of languages, support and Enhancement Packages, and add-ons included in the upgrade. This advanced strategy is an extension to the standard strategy discussed earlier. Downtime can be further optimized by increasing the number of parallel processes. As I tried to describe in my first comment, you have to distinguish between the software component version and the product version.
I read your blog now. What I tried to mention that the flow on SUM makes customers a little confused and they are suspecting if something went wrong during upgrade. Or just list all software component versions that are mentioned in the stack.
Not an easy way, so it was decided to only list the product versions. But is not showing to install the java components only the ABAP based components are working. For your reference i also attached the image which i am following For ECC installation. So, you would have to download also the second archive of software provisioning manager SWPM Thank You very much for giving me such a useful information can u please guide me the exact file name i have to download please help me in that.
I will start working on that from now onwards. And i am Having the Java Components. I have downloaded Java components based on NW 7. Sorry, the experts are still discussing, if a it is only supported to install NW 7. Sorry, I recommend that you open a customer incident for this issue, as the error message is rather unspecific. The colleagues agreed that the Master Guide has to be adapted to make this clearer. May I nevertheless propose to open a separate discussion thread for that, as this is not related to the topic of this blog Software Update Manager , and the answers are becoming hard to read due to the identation.
