***Take a backup of the HANA database and its configuration files***

The first step of HANA DB Upgrade is to upgrade the HLM – HANA Lifecycle Manager.

Open the SAP HANA Studio, right click on the system name  and select HANA Lifecycle Manager and select ‘Apply Single Support Packages

In this case since the software were downloaded from SMP already select ‘Manually downloaded content’ option as shown below.

Browse through the software library path where the HLM software has been kept and select the file name.

HLM needs to be restarted after updation, select ‘Restart Now’ button.

HLM update is completed.

After the successful updation of HLM, new version is shown as 1.0.7.12.

We have to now update the HANA DB software and other software components.

Click on ‘Apply Single Support Packages

In this case since HANA server is on a single instance but not on HA chose the option as ‘Normal’.

Chose option ‘Manually downloaded content‘, as the required software is already downloaded.

Browse through the software location directory at server level as below: Chose Next

Just before the upgrade preparation starts, shows the current and target versions
