Hello Ranjith,

Under the directory where you have extracted and executed SUM you will find a directory called htdoc.

eg: /usr/sap/XXX/SUM/SUM/abap/htdoc

In that directory there are two files you need to download to your PC.

phaselist.xml

SAPupPhaseList.xsl

You can then open the xml file with Internet Explorer and you will be presented with a page in your browser which will show you the roadmap and a description of the steps in each phase.

Kindest Regards,

Amerjit

Hi,

I read it somewhere in some SAP standard Documents.I don't remember them all.However I tried to put the high points here..

Extraction

          Provisioning of the path to the download directory and stack.xml
          Provisioning of passwords for DDIC and DB user in the source system
          Checking relevant tools and system parameters

Configuration

          Configuring a number of processes and other performance relevant parameters
          Selecting Target SPs and Add-on components
          Shadow Instance Parameter

Check

          Calculating the space for the shadow system
          System health checks (such as Nametab, transport system)
          BW checks and phases

Preprocessing

        Check for locked objects

        ABAP Workbench locking

        Run shadow system for preparation of new release (ACT_UPG, PARDIST, SGEN)

        SPDD Adjustments

Execution(Down Time)

All the changes are copied from Shadow to Main Instance.

Postprocessing

          Cleanups
          Transaction SPAU
          Transport unlock


Thanks,

Hi Ranjith,

I honestly don't see what else you could want between the link SS provided you and the info in the xml file.

As perfection is subjective, good luck on the quest for the perfect reply.

Please let us know if you find something that covers your needs.

Happy hunting.

Hello Amerjit,

Sure. May be SAP can release a KBA for these steps/phases like they have done for all other configurations/issues.

thanks,
Ranjith
