  • 31. 3 Planning3 PlanningThis part of the document contains information about planning your upgrade.Before you begin the actual upgrade, you must first plan it carefully. This includes requesting all theSAP Notes you need. Careful planning is a prerequisite for a successful SAP system upgrade.The following information helps you plan your upgrade so that downtime is reduced to a minimum,and the upgrade runs as efficiently as possible. NoteTeamSAP offers the free upgrade service SAP GoingLive Functional Upgrade Check. A team ofexperts checks the parameter settings of your system in one session before the upgrade, and givesyou detailed recommendations on the configuration. After the upgrade, the parameters and theentire system status are checked again in a second session. For information about the service and onordering it, see SAP Support Portal at http://service.sap.com/goinglive-fu.When you plan your upgrade, note the following information in addition to the information inQuick Guide [page 21]:n All the times specified in this document are based on hardware with medium performance levels.n Do not perform any additional actions during the upgrade that could cause it to run less smoothly.n Start planning your upgrade in good time.n To make sure that all requirements are met, run the preparation roadmap steps of the upgrade program, Initialization, Extraction, Configuration, and Checks, as soon as possible. You can reset and repeat the preparation roadmap steps as often as you need by choosing Back before you start the actual upgrade in roadmap step Preprocessing. The successful execution of the preparation roadmap steps is a prerequisite for starting the upgrade in roadmap step Preprocessing.n If you are upgrading a modified system where changes have been made to the standard ABAP system, you must start by upgrading a development or quality assurance system that has the same SAP system release (including Support Package level), and contains the same modifications. The adjustments you perform manually for the new standard in this system can be automatically exported to the global transport directory and are integrated into the production system upgrade from there.

However, as the front-end software is compatible with several SAP systemreleases, you may not have to upgrade to a new front-end software release.If you need or want to use a different front-end software, you can import it as soon as you receivethe software package.

  • 34. 3 Planning3.2 System Switch UpgradeBack to Quick Guide [page 21]3.2 System Switch UpgradeSAP systems are upgraded with the System Switch Upgrade procedure. This procedure installs aninstance of the target release, the shadow system, in parallel with the current source release system inthe same database. The parallel system contains all the software of the target release and is used toperform actions on the target release while the source release is still in production operation.Operating two instances in parallel places increased demands on free space in the file system, in thedatabase, and on the system resources. If necessary, some parameters in the production system mightneed to be adjusted to enable you to operate the production and the shadow systems in parallel.No precise guidelines can be given for the duration of an upgrade. The duration of the individualactions depends to a great extent on the individual system, the number of modifications, and thenumber of included Support Packages and add-ons.In the production database, the tables of the target release that contain both the descriptions ofthe ABAP Dictionary and the ABAP programs are imported as shadow tables under an alternativename. The shadow system enables you to access these tables. If you choose preconfiguration modestandard resource use or high resource use, you can perform upgrade actions before downtime starts, whichpreviously had to be performed during downtime. During the EU_SWITCH phase in downtime, theswitch is made to the new system, and any remaining data is imported. Any parts of the source releasesystem that are no longer needed are deleted.Figure 2: Process Flow of a System Switch UpgradeFeaturesABAP System Upgraden Extended free space check34/144 PUBLIC 11/21/2008
  • 35. 3 Planning3.2 System Switch Upgrade The Checks roadmap step of the upgrade program also checks the free space needed for tables created in the shadow system.n Creating the shadow system The Configuration roadmap step of the upgrade program is used to prepare for the shadow instance. The upgrade program first creates profiles, directories, as well as an extra database user, and copies programs and files needed by the shadow instance. All tables of the SAP NetWeaver Application Server are needed as shadow tables to operate the shadow system. As well as all substitution tables already imported, and the newly created tables, the upgrade program also creates all remaining SAP NetWeaver Application Server tables and fills them. When all the required tables are in the shadow system, aliases, synonyms or views are created for them. Additional table contents are copied into the shadow system to enable adjustment, activation and distribution functions in the shadow system.n Operating the shadow system You can now use the shadow system to perform the modification adjustment of the ABAP Dictionary objects and activate and distribute the requests included in the upgrade. After you have operated the shadow system, you have a consistent inactive nametab with the descriptions of the table structures of the target release, including Support Packages and add-ons. While it is running, the shadow system writes to a number of ABAP tables whose contents are required for the remainder of the upgrade, and for operating the system afterwards. These tables are renamed with their original names in the EU_SWITCH phase.n ABAP table conversion All tables of the SAP NetWeaver Application Server ABAP whose contents need to be copied from the shadow system can be adjusted to the target release structure in the shadow system during production operation. Even the tables into which control data is imported already exist in the shadow system and only need to be renamed. The tables that need to be converted are those for which the original versions of the SAP NetWeaver Application Server will continue to be used. These tables can be converted during production operation by being copied to the shadow system, or converted externally. External conversion no longer needs the ABAP conversion program of the source release, which means that the activation and conversion of the SAP NetWeaver Application Server only uses target release tools. This removes the restrictions of the previous procedure, such as no modifications to the SAP NetWeaver Application Server in Support Packages and add-ons. As before, the application tables are converted during downtime in the PARCONV_UPG phase. They can be distributed during production operation. If you use the ICNV, the tables are converted during production operation.n After operating the ABAP shadow system Any ABAP tables that receive entries are created as copies with new formats in the shadow system. The upgrade then performs the shadow import. Modifications to the contents of the original tables are indicated by triggers. These tables must be copied and imported during downtime.n Actions on the ABAP system during downtime11/21/2008 PUBLIC 35/144
  • 36. 3 Planning3.3 Upgrade GUI and Roadmap Steps After the upgrade program has converted the data and made all preparations, it completes the copy import action during downtime for all tables with triggers set. The EU_SWITCH phase completes the switch to the new system. All tables prepared in the shadow system are copied to the target release. The KX_SWITCH_1 phase switches the SAP kernel. The PARCONV_UPG phase converts the application table and the phase TABIM_UPG imports the remaining data. Finally, the XPRAS_UPG phase starts the XPRAs required by the system.Back to Quick Guide [page 21]3.3 Upgrade GUI and Roadmap StepsThe upgrade GUI provides you with functions to monitor the upgrade and navigate through theroadmap steps of the upgrade.Figure 3: Upgrade GUIThe upgrade phases are grouped into modules, which in turn are grouped into roadmap steps.

It has the following entries: l File l Upgrade Under Upgrade, you can find the following functions: u Stop Upgrade The upgrade program stops immediately. When you restart the upgrade as described in Starting the Upgrade Program [page 82], the upgrade continues at the point where you stopped it. u Reset Upgrade Using this menu option, you can reset the upgrade as described in Resetting the Upgrade [page 85]. u Logs From here, you have direct access to the upgrade logs. l ABAP Here you can start the upgrade program with options and set or remove a breakpoint for a certain phase. You can also access the log files of the upgrade program. l Help You can access online help for the upgrade phases and the SAP Notes Search on the SAP Support Portal.n Roadmap The roadmap visualizes the roadmap steps. The roadmap step that is currently running is highlighted.n Tab pages You see the following tab pages: l Monitor The monitor tab page displays a progress bar for the upgrade program. The progress bar shows how much of a phase has already been carried out. It also shows which phase is currently running and informs you about the status (RUNNING, COMPLETED, WAITING, ABORTED). l ABAP On this tab page, the upgrade displays dialogs and information about the upgrade of the SAP system.n Back and Next buttons To navigate between the roadmap steps, you choose Back or Next.

On the upgrade GUI, you always see the Monitor and the ABAP tab pages.n 2 - Extraction The upgrade program extracts the required software, that is, the upgrade tools, the SAP kernel and the content.n 3 - Configuration In the Configuration roadmap step, you enter all the information required for the upgrade process, for example, passwords, the preconfiguration mode, information about software units, add-ons, and Support Packages that you want to include, and information about the shadow system.n 4 - Checks The upgrade program checks if the operating system and database version of your source release match the requirements of the target release. It also checks the JDK version and some application-specific requirements.n 5 - Preprocessing In the Preprocessing roadmap step, the upgrade program builds up the shadow system. This roadmap step requires only few user entries. The runtime of this roadmap step depends on the preconfiguration mode you have chosen. With preconfiguration mode low resource use, the Preprocessing roadmap step is rather short, since the import of the substitution tables and the shadow38/144 PUBLIC 11/21/2008
  • 39. 3 Planning3.4 Preconfiguration Mode Planning system operation both happen during the downtime. With preconfiguration modes standard resource use and high resource use, both the substitution table import and the shadow system operation start during the Preprocessing roadmap step. When the Preprocessing roadmap step is finished and you choose Next, the downtime starts.n 6 - Downtime The Downtime roadmap step runs without any user interaction. In this roadmap step, the switch to the new system takes place. The upgrade program converts application tables and data to match the target release layout. In addition, it switches the SAP kernel.n 7 - Postprocessing The upgrade program creates the upgrade evaluation, saves the log files, and asks you to start with certain follow-up activities.n 8 - Finalization The upgrade program removes files and directories that are no longer required and completes the upgrade.Back to Quick Guide [page 21]3.4 Preconfiguration Mode PlanningThe downtime and the consumption of system resources depend on the interaction of severalparameters that you can set for the upgrade. To optimize the duration of the downtime andthe consumption of your system resources, we have grouped several parameter settings intopreconfiguration modes. Instead of setting the parameters manually, you can choose thepreconfiguration mode that suits your system resource situation.Preconfiguration ModesThe following preconfiguration modes are available:Preconfiguration Mode Features Scenariolow resource use n Low system resource Low system resources consumption n Early start of downtime shadow system operation during the downtime (upgrade strategy parameter resource-minimized) n ICNV not possible11/21/2008 PUBLIC 39/144
