Upgrade Steps SUP 2.X to SMP 2.3
To upgrade to SMP 2.3 from a lower version, the server first needs to be upgraded to SUP 2.2 and then to SMP 2.3. We cannot upgrade the server directly from a version lower than SUP 2.2 to SMP 2.3.
NOTE:
If you have a cluster environment, then upgrade the primary node and then move to the secondary node.
Below are the steps mentioned briefly, to be followed to upgrade to SUP 2.2 from a lower version.(say 2.1.x)
Data Tier Upgrade:
Step1:
The Data tier needs to be upgraded first and then the application tier. Down load all the required upgrade software from SAP market place. Below are the names of files needed which include the patches also.
- 1) 51045898-Server-Runtime
- 2) SUP22002_0-21010537
- 3) SUP22003_0-21010537
- 4) SUP22004_0-21010537

Patch Upgrade:
There are 4 patches for the SUP 2.2 upgrade process and you need not apply patches to move to SMP 2.3. But if you wish to stay on SUP 2.2 for some more time then all the patches are to be applied one at a time starting with data tier first. I.e. apply patch 1 to data tier, Patch1 on application tier and then patch2 on Data tier, patch2 on application tier and so on.
