Afterwards you have to do some postprocessing steps to setup a working system again.</P><P>I would not run SUM in parallel, because the SUM collects system information and saves it. </P><P>What you can do in order to prepare your upgrade is to carefully check SAP Note 2318321 in order to avoid the lose of objects.<BR /><BR /></P><P>Cheers,<BR />Andreas</P> Wed, 03 May 2017 08:01:39 GMT https://community.sap.com/t5/application-development-and-automation-discussions/start-sum-in-export-preparation/m-p/423810#M11693 alichtenau 2017-05-03T08:01:39Z
