EHP Stack file

[jay_b2]

I have multiple systems with same configuration where I need to update to EHP4 for ERP6 (EHP4 ready systems) on DB2 UDB. (ABAP only; central system)

I know that I can use the same set of SP files downloaded but I'll need to modify my stack file. I want to avoid registering in mopz for this time..

Any clue on how can the stack file be modified ? I have come across two unique system dependent entries in stack file including SID & Hostname ... is there anything else that I should change ?

Thanks,

You can use

Note 1600302 - MOpz: Copy stack xml with a report

to copy an XML to another system.

Hi,

Another best approch to generate consistent EHP stack is, select all systems ( in step - v ), so that for entier landscape you will have only one EHP stack file.

You can use the folloiwng steps to generate EHP stack.

I assumed that your system has been connected to SolMan system.

i)       Use the t-code DSWP

ii)      Select the active solution form the list , say SAP ECC system

iii)     Once you select the solution, click on “operation” than select the “ Maintenance Optimizer”

iv)     Once you select Maintenance Optimizer tab, on the same window, click on “ Create new maintenance transaction” and this will open your default browser ( IE or Firefox )

v)      On the browser you need to select three things and click on continue

-- Solution : Same as step-ii

-- Product Version : ( Say ECC 6.0 )

-- System ( Say Dev or QAS)

vi)      Select “Calculate file automatically” . It will take some time

Rest of the steps are easy – you can select your components, OS, DB etc

Hi,

You can modify Stack.xml file and proceed the required system.

you can change SID,Hostname small case and hostname upper case, system number

Note:- please do this very carefull otherwise SP level will miss while upgrade

I also need a stack.xml file i have solution manager Installed and connected and i need the steps to generate stack.xml file by a shortest way.

I need this file to install an upgrade for a  specific component, Can anybody please guide me through the steps to generate the Stack File or if there is any possibility to Install the Upgrade without Stack.xml file.

I have Solution Manager 7.1 and ERP6 EHP6.

Thank you

Hi,

Please don't edit it manually otherwise you can face problem in upgrade. SAP does not recommend to edit files manually.

Thanks
