Procedure documentation Upgrade with APO Extract/Load Locate the document in its SAP Library structure

Use

You use the SDBUPD program for an upgrade with APO Extract/Load. You must first back up the transaction data of the application system from the liveCache database instance to the APO database, and then substitute the software (Selection of the Upgrade Strategy).

This procedure is currently valid only for the instance type liveCache in the SAP APO system. It is valid for all operating system platforms supported by SAP DB.

Caution

There cannot be any remote communication between the database instances and applications during the upgrade, since the X Server software may need to be substituted, depending on the source and target version of the upgrade. Therefore, stop all database instances, so that SDBUPD can stop any X Servers that are still running. Alternatively, you can stop the X Server program yourself, before the upgrade.

Prerequisites

·        You have backed up the liveCache transactions to the APO database.

Note

SAP customers can find information on this in the Service Marketplace under http://service.sap.com/instguides ® Installation ® Installation & Upgrade Guides ® mySAP SCM ® Using SAP APO 3.1SR1... ® Upgrade Information  ® Upgrade for SAP APO 3.1: SAP liveCache 7.4 ® Upgrade Preparations.

·        You have stopped all database instances, or, alternatively, the X Server program as well.

·        The database parameters of the database instance you want to upgrade have not changed since the last restart.

·        The database instance can be in any operational state.

Procedure

...

       1.      Start the SDBUPD program with the following command:

UNIX, Linux:

Microsoft Windows:

./SDBUPD –d <database_name> -u <dbm_user>,<password>
[-o <sapdb_user>
-g <sapdb_admin>
-gs <sapdb_support>]

sdbupd –d <database_name> -u <dbm_user>,<password>

Note

You only need to specify the special operating system user <sapdb_user>, the administrator group <sapdb_admin>, and the support group <sapdb_support> (according to the Authorization Concept for UNIX Operating Systems) if you are upgrading to software version 7.4.04.

       2.      SDBUPD performs the upgrade, and displays a success message if completed successfully. You are prompted to start liveCache.

       3.      Start liveCache (Structure linkStarting liveCache).

       4.      Recover the data from the APO system to liveCache (see the above link to Upgrade for SAP APO 3.1: SAP liveCache 7.4.).
