solman 7.2 upgrade

[sandeepkarnati]

Hello Team,

Currently i am having solution manager(SS1 dual stack) SP14.As solman 7.2 is available to download i would like to upgrade to 7.2

i generated the stack file and downloaded the software

i have few steps to confirm before doing to upgrade

1)can i go ahead and upgrade to 7.2 without splitting the stacks?

2)if yes....can i split the systems after upgrade is done

3)can i perform dual stack split instantaneously while upgrading to 7.2?

4)if yes...what will happen to java stack on my current system?

5)what tools do i need to use for splitting the stacks

6)in the dual stack split ABAP and JAVA instance number and SID should be same?

Hello Manish,

Thanks for sharing the doc...its very useful.....

1)as document mentioned currently our solution manager has ST-OST component.....so i cannot upgrade my system?..is there any other way?

2)during the split what is the system requirement for java...i mean what should be the hardware?

Hi Sandeep,

Please refer SAP Note 2227300 also. As per that SAP Note which is recently updates it is not possible to upgrade to 7.2 if you have ST-OST installed.

You can raise SAP message if need further confirmation about this.

Thanks,

Manish

if i have ST-OST component installed...i can never upgrade system to 7.2?

[manish_singh13 · Accepted solution]

As per present scenario it is not possible to upgrade to 7.2 with ST-OST. As per this given note SAP is planning to release ST-OST later which indicates that in future it will be possible.

As for now if immediately required then you should plan for new installation of 7.2.

Thanks,

Manish

Hello Manish,

1)According to the link you have provided,first i need to upgrade solman 7.1 to 7.2...and then splitht e stack...what if i dont split stack?

2)if i split the stack could you please recommend how to deal with instance numbers and SID's?

Hi Sandeep,

A Dual-Stack Split is required, since dual-stack systems are not supported anymore for systems based on SAP NetWeaver 7.4.

Different SIDs and instance numbers are required for Java and ABAP in one host.
