Unit 3 Exercise
1Perform Pre-Upgrade Steps
Business Example
You are performing an update from SAP ECC 6.0 to SAP ECC 6.07. Prepare the update using the relevant SAP notes, the topics from the Update/Upgrade Guide, and the ASU Toolbox.
1. Prepare the update using SAP Notes. The relevant SAP Notes can be found in the Update/
Upgrade Guide (SUM Guide, Chapter 1.3.2 SAP Notes.
Note:
Use the SAP Notes that are printed in the course material. Do not use the SAP Notes delivered on the SAP Service Marketplace. The printed SAP Notes are shortened and changed for the needs of this course.
• SAP Note 1843776 (Central Note - Software Update Manager 1.0 SP09 [lmt_005])
• SAP Note 1737650 (EHP7 for SAP ERP 6.0 SP Stacks - Release & Information Note)
• SAP Note 1844234 (MaxDB: Additional Information - Software Update Manager 1.0 SP09) The first and the third SAP Notes can be found directly in the Update/Upgrade Guide.
The second SAP Note can be found within the first SAP Note.
2. Prepare the update according to the topics in the Update/Upgrade Guide, Chapter 4, Preparation.
3. Prepare the update by using the ASU Toolbox. Perform at least one task as an example.
Note:
Wait to perform this step until after the tool import of the SUM has finished, because newer versions of the ASU Toolbox-related transactions are being imported.

1Perform Pre-Upgrade Steps
Business Example
You are performing an update from SAP ECC 6.0 to SAP ECC 6.07. Prepare the update using the relevant SAP notes, the topics from the Update/Upgrade Guide, and the ASU Toolbox.
1. Prepare the update using SAP Notes. The relevant SAP Notes can be found in the Update/
Upgrade Guide (SUM Guide, Chapter 1.3.2 SAP Notes.
Note:
Use the SAP Notes that are printed in the course material. Do not use the SAP Notes delivered on the SAP Service Marketplace. The printed SAP Notes are shortened and changed for the needs of this course.
• SAP Note 1843776 (Central Note - Software Update Manager 1.0 SP09 [lmt_005])
• SAP Note 1737650 (EHP7 for SAP ERP 6.0 SP Stacks - Release & Information Note)
• SAP Note 1844234 (MaxDB: Additional Information - Software Update Manager 1.0 SP09) The first and the third SAP Notes can be found directly in the Update/Upgrade Guide.
The second SAP Note can be found within the first SAP Note.
a) In SAP Note 1843776, review Section I, Important General Information, Section II, Corrections to the Guide, and Section Ill, Preparing the Update. Then, consider these actions:
• Non-central instances: profile merge after upgrade (not a preparation task)
• Implement SAP Note 1720495 before SPAU (not a preparation task)
• Check Server Group SAP_ DEFAULT_ BTC
• Check the registration of sapevents.dll Adjust start profile
Lesson: Performing Pre-Upgrade Steps
• Prevent the potential loss of HR data in table T77SO (import transport request DCCK900003)
• Set A UT OST ART =O
• Clean up profile directory
b) No preparation actions have to be considered from SAP Note 1737650 except applying the newest SPAM/SAINT update. But this will be checked and done by SUM anyway. You can either apply the newest SPAM/SAINT update now or let SUM perform this action.
c) No actions have to be considered from SAP Note 1844234.
2. Prepare the update according to the topics in the Update/Upgrade Guide, Chapter 4, Preparation.
a) For Section 4.3, Checking the Software Requirements, no action is required.
b) For Section 4.4, Making Preparations at the Database Level, assume that the optimizer statistics are up-to-date.
c) For Section 4.5, Checking the Structural Requirements for ABAP, check the profile parameters.
d) For Section 4.7, Setting the Operation Mode for the Update, define operation modes.
e) For Section 4.8, Checking the Consistency of the Host Name, perform the check using transaction SM51.
f) For Section 4.9, Checking the Number of Background Processes, no action is required.
g) For Section 4.10, Deleting the Autostart Parameter, no action is required.
h) For Section 4.11, Filling the Download Directory, create the download directory and copy the following into it: the MOpz download, additional SAP Support Packages, and the stack XML file.
Note:
You must rename the host in the stack XML file. Open the stack XML file with Notepad and perform Replace All to change all instances of twdfOOOO to your host name.
3. Prepare the update by using the ASU Toolbox. Perform at least one task as an example.
Note:
Wait to perform this step until after the tool import of the SUM has finished, because newer versions of the ASU Toolbox-related transactions are being imported.
