SUM - Update directory lost before downtime

[Former Member]

Dear Community,

On one of our SRM sandbox system I was about to apply the latest SPS along with some new addons using the standard procedure with MOPZ and SUM.

I went through the whole Preprocessing phase and reached the point before downtime.

Unfortunately I could not continue for 3 weeks on this, and now the SUM directory which was badly placed under /tmp is gone due to some clean-up jobs which were unknown to me.

There are no file system or older db backups either as this is a sandbox only.

In short:

System is expecting the downtime but the SUM directory is gone.

What are the options now to reset the system?

Anyone got experience with such a situation?

Thanks and Regards,
Thomas

Dear

As you said there are no backups and you don't have tmp folder also better you start from begin the upgrade process you have xml file you can start

You don't have a backup - your system is a sandbox - you have lost SUM files.

Well, last thing is you can check with a file system backup, if you have.

Else, build a new sandbox, refresh from any system and start it again.

As this is a sandbox then restore the database backup taken before the start of the upgrade and start the upgrade once again.

Dear Benjamin,

As I said: there are no backups available before the start.

I'm looking for a fix-forward solution.

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Thomas

I am sorry. I over looked that. Bad eyes.

You have two options here.

1 - Restore the production system database backup (system refresh) and start the upgrade. This is the best approach.

2 - Run the report RSUPGRES and if required drop the shadow schema and see if that helps.

417670 - Addnl information on resetting upgrade as of Release 6.10

I suggest you to check the second option with SAP before doing it.
