Dear Friends,
I am doing SAP combined upgrade and unicode conversion (CU&UC). Currently i am in downtime phase.
My query is regarding the SPAU acitivty.
Can you please guide me, should i do SPAU adjustment before exporting and importing the system for unicode conversion which i have to do after upgrade.
Or should i do SPAU immeditely after upgrade is completed and then do the export and import of system for completion of unicode conversion.
Thanks,
Anil Bhandary
You should do the SPAU immediately as soon as the SPAU adjustment phase is reached or after the after the upgrade is just completed. Do it before you do the export of the system for the unicode conversion.

Hi,
I was checking one of the forum reply of Sunny, which says we can do SPAU activity after upgrade.
http://scn.sap.com/thread/1900538
So, still confused, can we do SPAU after unicode conversion or it is risky to do that.
Thanks,
Anil
Even though it is technically possible , but your SPAU transport would be from an unicode system and then imported into a non-unicode system during the upgrade of the next system when you bind it.
Check this SAP note Note 638357 - Transport between Unicode systems and non-Unicode systems
Also in general SPAU is done prior to export as suggested by this wiki

Thanks Ratnajit,
One more query, moving the Transport in QAS and PRD of SPDD and SPAU.
How to move this transport request, it should be moved through OS level or should provide this trabsport request number when upgradation prompt for this request. During the Quality and production upgradation there will be delta change in QAS and PRD as compare to DEV.
In such case will that be good if i provide trabsport request when SAP upgrade ask or should i manually import from OS level.
Thanks,

When you do SPDD, create a transport request and add all the adjustments made to dictionary objects in the single transport request. Release the task. Then in SPDD , there is an button "Select for transport ". Click it , it will prompt with an option select the option relevant (either Upgrade or SPAM update) . Then select the transport request..
Do the above for SPAU as well. Make sure you have only 1 transport request each for SPDD and SPAU. After you do the above , the SAPup would release the 2 requests and put the transports in a file umodauto.lst under /usr/sap/trans/bin
The next upgrade will search for SPAU and SPDD transports from this file from the same location . Make sure you copy this file to the location mentioned above if you have different transport directories along with the data and cofiles. If you have same transport directory , you are good to go.

Thanks,
When i give the trabsport request of last SPDD and SAPU. Will the upgrade tool only adjust the changes which are there in request and reset it will allow us to make the changes of delta OR it will reset the delta to original which are not present in transport request.
Thanks,
Anil Bhandary
