Software Update Manager: Clean up tasks, Shadow Instance & Temp. Tablespace X

[#1]

Hi Experts,

I wanted to know that after an upgrade activity using SUM (Software Update Manager) how should I proceed with the cleanup tasks.

As SUM uses a shadow instance for the upgrade and for which a temporary table space is required, we can release some space once the upgrade has completed, right?

In my case (SPS08 upgrade in Solution Manager 7.1), a temporary tablespace PSAPSR3702X of 32GB was required before execution.

So I created that in order to upgrade my system.

My upgrade went successful, and now I would like to cleanup the space that was occupied during the upgrade.

I believe that scope here for cleanup is:

1) The temporary SAP Tablespace PSAPSR3720X (32 GB), data file is under /oracle/<SID>/sapdata4

2) SUM Directory (Upgrade directory /usr/sap/<SID>/SUM, which is 21G and contains the logs,files, shadow instance)

What should be the approach to process the clean-up post upgrade?

A) Is this approach feasible?

1. Stop SAP & DB
2. Drop SAP Temporary Tablespace
3. Drop SUM Directory
4. Start SAP & DB and validate

I also looked up SAP note 1732061, which is central note for SUM, it talks about, Do not select "Cleanup and start afresh" before finalization.

So in the postprocessing phase after the upgrade completes and just before Finalization phase, I have selected "Continue" as per the above mentioned note during the upgrade.

B) Or is it that, if I start SUM again and I get an option in the beginning "Cleanup & Start Afresh" which shall do the necessary cleanup, though I am not really sure, if this the possible feature of SUM!

Which is the correct approach? Could you please suggest, as I have worked with SUM for the first time.

Regards,

Akshay.

hi Akshay Gupta

when I upgrade SAP solution manager 7.1 from sp04 to SP12, this message appeared:

"Insufficient free space in the database as follows. Please refer to file E:\upgrade\SUM\abap\log\DBFPLUSD.RES for more details and additional information about the results of the free space check.

Create TABLESPACE PSAPSR3702X with 25041 MB

INFO: To adjust the size of your tablespaces, you may use the commands

in file 'E:\upgrade\SUM\abap\log\ORATBSXT.LST' using the 'brspace' utility.

Please copy the file before making changes, as it may be

overwritten in subsequent upgrade phases.

You must fulfill these requirements first before you continue with the procedure!

Free space recommendation

In some scenarios there might be more space required, which was not part of the calculation. Therefore we recommend to have up to 20% more free space than overall required:

Additional 5008 MB to TABLESPACE PSAPSR3702X"

I open file ORATBSXT.LST then i copy a command : "brspace -function tscreate -tablespace PSAPSR3702X -class none -data both -size 200 -incrsize 200 -maxsize 25041 -autoextend yes"

Then I run this command but above message still appears

How can fix this error ?

please, can you help me?

thank you
