Dear Experts,

We are going to upgrade the 7.1 SP 05 to 7.1 SP 06 patch.

Could you please share some important informations like:

Important points to be taken care while transporting the repositories from SP05 to SP06 environment.

Do we need to take a back of the repository data and the xsd schema's?

Hello Gaurav Kumar Sharma

Buck-up the repositories and schemas, import/syndication maps - thit is standard procedure and if you want to have "hot" copy of your data you should to do it every day- it will be better solution.

Usually, for update just SAP MDM (not DBMS) ( we have done it every time since mdm 7.1 sp1) we do next:

Reading "update" note - because sometimes sap guys include some new functionality or change old

1) stop sap mdm server

2) made "hot" copies all data (repositories ,schemas, import/syndication maps)

3) start update process.

4) run sap mdm server

5) check repositories ,schemas, import/syndication maps - make some corrections if it need(according to sap notes) but usually all work fine

Somebody made two levels buck-up process ( one for sap mdm , another one for DBMS).

How often you will do buck-ups dependence from your sap mdm users activity.
