[kalyanswarna]

Hi, We are having SAP BO 4.0SP2 in a Clustered environment on Unix. Each cluster haing Full insytllation of BO.

Now We are planning to Install Patch 12 on this server and gone through ths SAP Patch Update guide in that they have metioned that "

"If your deployment has multiple clusters, the credentials for the first CMS that you upgrade must be used when upgrading the other clusters."

is that mean suppose if i have 2 clusters: Host1 and Host2

First Completed the Installation on Host1 with Host1 Credentials

then Host2 Installation my questions when the sytem asked for details what i need to provide

is it Host1 details or Host2?

Please confirm

Thanks,

Kalyan

With Host1 and Host2 scenario the process will be :

1. Stop host2 completely
2. Install Patch on host1, test if all is well and basic functionality remains
3. Install Patch on Host2 - give it CMS credentials from Host1
4. Start Host2 - test.

is there any priority between hosts?

i mean which one we should consider first

and also please suggest what all the servers need to be up in the System where we do installation

Thanks,

Kalyan

If they are identical as to what BOE services running on then - makes no difference, If one has CMS and other doesn't - start with CMS one.

Thanks Denis.

Please recommend if any tasks need to post installation like Deploying web applications and all

If BOE web apps were deployed automaticaly during install, then patch will update them automaticaly as well, otherwise you'll need to use wdeploy tool after install to update/re-deploy BOE web apps.
