SAP UI5 1.60 PATCH UPGRADE ABAP

[shahazim_parker]

Hello All,

I am writing this blog post for steps to upgrade SAP UI5 patch. First, let us understand what patch is.

SAPUI5 is versioned as follows: <major version>.<minor version>.<patch level>

That means that, for example, SAPUI5 1.60.13 is major version 1, minor version 60 and patch level 13.

Pre-requisites:

• SAP UI5 1.60.1 check SAP NOTE: 2711925 - ABAP SAPUI5 1.60 release


• Implement 2711925 if SAP_UI 753 SP is lower than SP02 if note implement failed to upgrade the SAPUI version to SP02 or higher.


• Implement SAP NOTE 2614248 if SAP_UI 753 SP02


• SAP_UI 753 SP03 or higher can direct upgrade.


• SAP portal download access.

Steps:

• Check currently installed version of SAPUI5

• 
  
  
  
  • Using URL
    
    
    
    • Paste the below URL in internet browser and XML will show the version.
    
    
    • http://<host>:<port>/sap/public/bc/ui5_ui5/resources/sap/m/.library
    
    
    
    
  
  
  
  

• 
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

• 
  
  
  
  • Using CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + P in web application such as FIORI
  
  
  
  

• 
  
  
  
  • 
    
    
    
    • Press and hold the following buttons in sequence on web portal: CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + P.
    
    
    • SAPUI5 releases show a modal pop up like the below
    
    
    
    
  
  
  
  

• Check the target supported version and file name to download.

• 
  
  
  
  • Check manual activities of SAP NOTE: 2711925 - ABAP SAPUI5 1.60 release to check the version details of SAPUI5 1.60
  
  
  
  
  
  
  • I am upgrading the patch to 1.60.25 which is the latest version.
  
  
  
  

• 
  
  
  
  • Download the UI5 from the marketplace.

  • Select the file and click on the basket button or you can also directly download the file.
  
  
  
  

• Upload the .zip for test upgrade.

• 
  
  
  
  • If you want to update to a version, which is several versions higher than the existing one, then more time would be required for the update.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  • Set the parameter rdisp/max_wprun_time = 12000 using Transaction RZ11 to avoid "TIME_OUT" dump in ST22
  
  
  
  
  
  
  • Start transaction SA38 and execute program /UI5/UI5_UPLOAD_PATCH_TO_MIME as per SAP NOTE 2058624 - sapui5 allow to upload patch via report
  
  
  
  

• 
  
  
  
  • Execute the report first in test mode.
  
  
  
  

• 
  
  
  
  • It will take time and give the output.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  • If there are errors, contact SAP.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  • if the results are okay, start the actual upgrade.
  
  
  
  

• Upload the .zip for the actual upgrade.

• 
  
  
  
  • Upgrade the DEV Environment first.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  • Start transaction SE09 and create a Workbench Request
  
  
  
  

• 
  
  
  
  • Start transaction SE38 and execute program /UI5/UI5_UPLOAD_PATCH_TO_MIME
  
  
  
  

• 
  
  
  
  • Upload the patch file with TR No. to capture the changes.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  • This TR we can use to upgrade QAS and PRD environment.
  
  
  
  

• 
  
  
  
  • Click on execute button to start the actual upgrade
  
  
  
  
  
  
  • Upgrade will take time.
  
  
  
  

• Check the upgraded version

• 
  
  
  
  • Check Using URL
  
  
  
  

• 
  
  
  
  • You can also check Using CTRL + ALT + SHIFT + P
  
  
  
  

The upgrade is successfully completed.

All screenshots are taken by me at the time of activity.

• Patch upgrade will fix the bugs which were in the previous version.
  
  
  
  • In my case, there was some issue on iOS mobile so SAP recommends upgrading it to the latest patch.
  
  
  
  


• Changes are client independent and capture in workbench request which we will use to upgrade the landscape (DEV-QAS-PRD).

 

Thank you !!!
