How to check the process is running

[Former Member]

Hello Gurus,

Is there any way in UNIX at OS level (like tail -f) to find out that the upgrade process is running or stuck, other than the Upgrade Monitor in Upgrade Assistant

Actually we are into process of Upgrade from 4.7 to ECC6 and PREPARE phase is completed successfully.Now we are into upgrade phase in UNIX with Oracle

My concern is to check whether upgrade is runnning or not.

Thanks & Regards.

7.1 Upgrade Logs

SAPup logs all actions in log files. You can use these log files to monitor your upgrade. If you

encounter any errors, you can analyze them to help you find a solution.

Features

SAPup records all actions in log file SAPup.log in the log subdirectory of the upgrade directory.

The tp steps are also listed in file SLOG<rel> in the log subdirectory of the upgrade directory.

Additional detailed logs are usually written for these tp steps.

A simple method of monitoring the progress of all tp-driven phases is to use tail to monitor the

SLOG log. To do this, open another terminal window and enter the following command:

tail -f <upgrade directory>/log/SLOG<rel>

Each tp-driven phase is divided up into a number of different steps whose start and end times are

noted in the SLOG log. The start and end of a phase are indicated by the lines START put and STOP put.
