Prerequisites for Uupgrading Support Package Level

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Please let me know what should I check before upgrading support package level in landscape. Recently I planed to upgrade DEV system but some modifiable requests prevent importing SAP_BASIS successfully.

As far as I know I have to check TLOCK table but I am not sure this is enough.

Is there any SAP Note to check prerequisites before doing upgrade?

I want to make sure to be in a safe side this time.

Regards,

Sanaz.

Hello Sanaz,

Well some of the prerequisites before you start Upgrading:

1. Have a full back

2. Upgrade your SPAM to the latest version

3. Always have SAP notes 822379 and 822380,these tell the possible errors that you might get during upgrade

4. Make sure all the pre-requisites of a particular software components ex:SAP_BASIS are met

But as regard to modification transports,these will generally come,When this error occurs check for the transports that SAP is mentioning and then check with the owner of the transport requests whether they are needed or can be overwritten and they take a decision

Let me know of any questions

it is also recommended to upgrade your SAP kernel right after a successful backup. so, from Rohit's post, that would be step 1.1
