Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1 to 7.1 Upgrade- Windows/Oracle

SAP

Recently we have done a Solman 7.0 EHP 1 to Solman 7.1 Upgrade.

Source Details: – Windows 2003, Oracle 11.2.0.1 & Solman 7 EHP1  ST28

Target Details: – Windows 2003, Oracle 11.2.0.1 & Solman 7.1 SPS 5

Before Upgrade to Solman 7.1, it’s always recommended that you go through all the prerequisite, upgrade guide, upgrade notes, sizing document & install & upgrade planner.

Solman 7.1 requires lot of pre – upgrade steps to be completed before upgrade, as it’s require more RAM, Page file & also requires  SAP parameters value updates etc.

During Pre upgrade steps we have stuck in one phase as RCA is not working in Solman_Workcenter. To reactivate RCA we need to update the ABAP+JAVA support packages to latest level. We calculated the STACK.XML of ABAP+JAVA support packs & upgrade our Solman 7.0 EHP1 to ST 28 level. Also update the Java support packs through JSPM.

I can’t write the whole upgrade process & technical activity in this post. if you require any help or stuck in any phase during upgrade, you can contact me.

Solman Upgrade requires SOLMANUP tool for upgrade & it requires below space in your file system.

Solmanup & DIR_TRANS 20GB free space
Database 50GB free space

One thought on “Solution Manager 7.0 EHP1 to 7.1 Upgrade- Windows/Oracle

  1. Hi Adil,

    I am upgrading our Solution Manager to 7.1 from 7.0 EHP1.
    I have downloaded the upgrade media as mentioned in the
    “installation and Upgrade Media List” guide. We are getting the
    error “Sever error(s) occurred in phase PREP_INPUT/EXTRACTKRN_PRE!

    Last error code set:Attribute ‘nargs’ not found in tag ‘media'”

    while Software Upgrade Manager(SUM1.0SP10)) trying to extract kernel
    files. I’m using SAP kernel DVD number (material number) 51042616_8.ZIP (SOLMAN_7.1_SR1_Krnl_Windows)

    Any idea about the error and solution?

    Thanks ,
    Harry
