Question Re: ACT_UPG phase in Technology Q&A

ACT_UPG phase

Former Member — Wed, 11 Sep 2013 09:50:24 GMT

Hi all,

I am applying EHP6 for ERP. During ACT_UPG phase I tried to stop shadow instance and incress some profile parameters and rester shadow agian and repeat the ACT_UPG phase again.

I have selected as Batch process 3 and maximum uptime process 1 and R3trans process 3

There is no error in TCO st22 or sm21.

I can see the batch job

RDDMASGL is active and form job log I have this massage:

Job started

Step 001 started (program RDDMASGL, variant IMPACTMRG, user ID DDIC)

Start of mass activation 08:47:41

And I have just one batch job runing in SM50.

BGD 14939 Running Yes 6826 RADMASDSC 000 DDIC

And non og logs, tmp or data logs in /abap/ in shoadow get update.

My question is should I restar sap server after changing profile parameter for shadow or it is enough with restart shadow instance?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have this log from last part of SAPup.ECO from shadow.

I hope you have changed the parameters in shadow instance profile. If that is the case then you need not to restart the main instance. Restart of shadow instance will suffice.

Thanks

Hi,

Hope you have checked this note .

Note 1387739 - Out of memory errors during shadow system operation

You only need to restart the shadow instance after changing the profile.

did you get memory error before you change the parameters.

Thanks

Hello

Were the parameter modifications and the restart done in the shadow system ?

Connect to the shadow system and perform a check status of the running job.

Tx SM37 - RDDMASGL - Job - Check status

Hello ,

Thanks for all your replys.

I have change parameter just in shadow instance befor I get memory error. And restart just shadow instance as note 1387739.

RDDMASGL DDIC Active 11.09.2013 08:47:41 13.832 0

TCO SM37 - job RDDMASGL status shows aktiv:

And nothing more.

Hello

Check whether the logs are getting updated here:

/r3d/mnt/R3U/start/SUM/abap/tmp

/r3d/mnt/R3U/start/SUM/abap/log

Former Member — Wed, 11 Sep 2013 10:49:44 GMT

Hello,

They are not getting update.

Thanks

Re: ACT_UPG phase

Reagan — Wed, 11 Sep 2013 10:52:09 GMT

Tx SM37 - RDDMASGL - Job - Check status

When you performed a check status like this what was the message you received ?

The message will be displayed at the bottom of the SAP GUI.

Hello,

After 6 hour the tmp:

/r3d/mnt/R3U/start/SUM/abap/tmp get update. I had added that file.

Any idea?

Thanks

Re: ACT_UPG phase

Reagan — Wed, 11 Sep 2013 11:23:06 GMT

Here are few things which you can check.

1 - Check the start time of the job and the time when you restarted the SAP shadow system.

2 - Check the shadow system work process trace file for this job.

3 - Check Tx SM50 for this work process whether the status, report name and other parts are getting changed.

Be aware that this is one of the longest phases in the entire upgrade process.

Regards

Re: ACT_UPG phase

Reagan — Wed, 11 Sep 2013 11:26:52 GMT

You just need to wait until the SUM tool prompts for an action from your side.

Like I said before this phase is one of the longest phases in the complete upgrade.

Just wait until you reach the next phase.

Hello,

No need to start complete server. Restarting only the shadow instance is okay for the parameters to take effect.

Also ACT_UPG is a very long running phase and sometimes there might not be any update in the logs for some time. Please make sure that DB stats are updated as it might influence the runtime of this phase. Parallisation do not work during this phase so important thing will be your DB performance and memory settings.

Hello,

RDDMASGL batch Job stopet with:

Internal session terminated with runtime error SYSTEM_NO_TASK_STORAGE.

I had allready increased parameters:

abap/heap_area_dia 900000000

abap/heap_area_total 49000000000

abap/heap_area_nondia 49000000000

ztta/roll_extension 12000000000

ztta/roll_area 500000000

Have I miss some thing?

Thanks for any advice.

Re: ACT_UPG phase

Reagan — Wed, 11 Sep 2013 12:37:40 GMT

Hello

According to the SAP Note 1387739 - Out of memory errors during shadow system operation

SAP recommendation :

abap/heap_area_total = 10000000000

abap/heap_area_nondia = 10000000000

ztta/roll_area = 20000000

You implemented :

abap/heap_area_dia = 900000000

abap/heap_area_total = 49000000000

abap/heap_area_nondia = 49000000000

ztta/roll_extension = 12000000000

ztta/roll_area = 500000000

Please correct the parameters and restart the shadow system.

Regards
