Prerequisites for Uupgrading Support Package Level

[#1]

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.

Sanaz,

In addition to above also see below pre-requisite steps:-

1.You should also order side effect report before applying support packs.

2.When you import/apply Support Packages, do not use the SAP System productively. This means no other user should be logged on except for the system administrator and no background jobs should be running.So lock all dialog users during SP upgrade & run BTCTRNS1.

3.You should check for all open request. Release them(if it belongs to you) or delete them ( if those are not required).If those are belongs to other team members then consult with them & release or delete them with thr confirmation.Dont keep any modifiable/open request in the system.

Thanks,
